Chapter 169 Start Operation
"His Excellency, Chen Mingxiang from Huatong Trading Company, has arrived at Jieshou Town at the junction of Anhui Province and Henan Province today, and contacted the local branch of Minhua Company, using our radio station, and asked the Eryu Agency to inform the Special High School of the Gendarmerie Command of his itinerary." The communications officer of the Eryu Agency reported.
"You reply to Chen Mingxiang immediately. I will call the Gang Village Master himself. His speed is not slow. I like this kind of decisive style. This is the person who does things."
"In addition, tell him that if the Jieshou acquisition point needs financial support, you can directly contact the branch of Minhua Company. When he comes back, I will entertain him with the best Japanese sake and the best Japanese cuisine." Oshita and Shifu said with a smile.
"Your Excellency, I have a problem with my subordinates. Our company in Eryu has Minhua to purchase various materials in Jieshou. Why do we have to rely on Huatong Trading Company to do it? Doesn't this increase cost expenditure?" The communications officer did not understand.
"You idiot, don't know the relationship between the Imperial Navy and the Army, are you in a state of power now? The army military police controls all the major traffic routes on the ground. Huatong Trading Company has the background of the military police headquarters. It can be unobstructed and will be protected without any obstacles. Can Minhua Company do it?" Eryu and Shifu cursed.
The military police headquarters has its own system and never buys the navy's accounts, but in fact, they don't buy the army's accounts very much. But in the end, the military police are also under the jurisdiction of the Army's provincial jurisdiction, and the army's road transportation has not been much trouble, but the navy's goods are in terrible.
The Minhua Company branch of Eryu, located in Jieshou, specializes in purchasing supplies for the Japanese Navy. It is because of this background that goods are often seized by military police forces in various parts of Anhui Province. The reasons are also varied, which makes Eryu and the scholars frustrated.
Under the tremendous pressure from the military command, the old Japanese targeted Chen Mingxiang. He believed that this Chinese man was flexible in thinking and could help him complete his tasks.
"Our Huatong Trading Company has special exemption for inspection. If the customer proposes to barter goods, you can also exchange materials from the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The transportation team can travel from Jieshou to Anqing in five days. Just let go of your hands and feet and don't have to consider where you come from."
"If the funds from the acquisition station are not delivered for a while, you can borrow from the branch of Minhua Company. I will pay them directly to the Minhua Company headquarters in the Shanghai Stock Exchange." Chen Mingxiang said to salesman Zhang Dingchun.
Although he didn't stay in the base area for much time, his inner shock was aroused strongly. Due to the Japanese army's blockade and continuous attack, life was very difficult for both the troops and the people.
Not to mention that you can’t afford to buy fabrics and make clothes, it’s hard to guarantee even two meals a day. Even the most basic salt is often lacking. Anhui Province is the source of grain!
The soldiers in the field hospital made him feel heartbroken. He was ragged and pale and thin, which was the result of long-term nutritional inability to keep up. Not to mention eating meat, there was no oil star in the vegetables.
Under such difficult conditions, the soldiers of these guerrilla detachments were still insisting on fighting against the Japanese invaders. Chen Mingxiang admired this very much. After all, the conditions of the Shancheng government's army were much better than theirs.
Although the people are in such an environment, they are willing to be with this army, no longer be bullied by landlords and bullies, and do not have any heavy taxes. They have the most precious wealth, that is, land, and they are already very content.
He was happy that he was also a member of the Japanese invaders. Although he was misunderstood, his heart was peaceful.
"Boss, are you staying in the world for a few more days?" Zhang Dingchun asked.
"I feel very at ease with you. They are all veterans in this industry, so it is not difficult to open up the situation. There are still many jobs in the Shanghai Stock Exchange that I need to deal with. It is not good to have a long time to come out. I will return to Luzhou tomorrow morning." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
He is an intelligence officer of the Military Intelligence Bureau and is not a special smuggler. The reason why he has made up his mind to come to Anhui Province to engage in smuggling is ultimately to deepen the solidity of the interest chain and lay a solid foundation for obtaining intelligence in the future.
Ding Mo Village's younger brother was beaten to death with a wine bottle. If something big happened, he would rush to Jinling as soon as possible. He finally established a personal relationship with Ding Mo Village and must be maintained well.
All the staff at these purchasing stations have their families in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Chen Mingxiang is not afraid of them making trouble. If you can find such a good job during the war, a little smart person will know what to do.
He rented a yard at a high price, found a wooden utensil to make a sign, and ignored the rest of the matter. How could he worry about everything when he was a boss?
Speaking of this, during the war, the World Shou became a well-known small Shanghai Stock Exchange. If it weren't for such a big environment, it would be unimaginable to create such a place.
There are many hotels on the street, and the lively scene seems to be like returning to the Shanghai Stock Exchange, but the store is relatively simple and does not have the luxury and cultural heritage of the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
These hotels are either the characteristics of Henan Province or the characteristics of Anhui Province. Chen Mingxiang, Zhang Dingchun, and truck driver Xiao Shou'an, the three of them found a Yu restaurant.
"The commissioner, the young man in a suit must be said by the headquarters of the bureau. Chen Mingxiang, the boss of Huatong Trading Company, and the remaining two, one in a long robe and the other in coarse cloth clothes, were obviously following the staff at first glance." said a man in Zhongshan suit.
There were two people standing near the Jieshou acquisition site of Huatong Trading Company’s Luzhou acquisition station, looking very much like a businessman’s dress.
"I'm not blind, please keep your mouth in mind. Boss Dai is counting on using the channels of Huatong Trading Company to earn funds for the bureau. Chen Mingxiang is the key figure."
"Strictly speaking, he is a traitor! The news of his visit to the World Shou this time is strictly confidential. If there is any mistake in the news, how can we explain to Boss Dai?" said a man wearing sunglasses.
Dai Li transferred a batch of supplies from Henan Province, mainly pig bristles and tobacco leaves from Henan Province from Jieshou to the Shanghai Stock Exchange to earn funds. The commissioner of this bureau headquarters is specifically responsible for this matter.
The Pacific War has not yet broken out, and the Bristles are not controlled goods yet, but are materials that are embargoed against Japan. The Japanese purchase price has reached 8,000 French dollars per quintal.
Dai Li asked Chen Mingxiang to secretly sell this batch of bristles to British and American companies or German companies in the concession, and try not to give them to the Japanese side.
The money obtained is to purchase cotton cloth, cotton yarn, hardware, rubber tires, Western medicine, cigarettes, etc. to the National Government District, and Chen Mingxiang can withdraw 20% of it as funds.
"Manager Chen, I am Dai Xing, the manager of Bofeng Company's Yu Provincial Branch. The head office said that you have come to Jieshou and I have been waiting for four days." Chen Mingxiang just returned to the acquisition point, and the man wearing sunglasses and suit walked over and said.
Bofeng Company is the name of a subsidiary company of the Military Intelligence Bureau. It has a lot of business dealings with Huatong Trading Company, and the number of smuggling is quite amazing.
