Chapter Five Hundred and Twelve Entrusted Custody

Chen Mingxiang's reply was also very accurate. Horiuchi Yuki and Okaki Katsuo were very satisfied. No wonder Akagi Kenyu attaches great importance to this guy. The key is that people know their position and understand what the Ministry of Foreign Affairs needs him to do. They are not fascinated by this series of post titles.

"Jun Chen, you are indeed capable and quick-witted. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs really needs an elite like you. Don't worry, within the scope of the public concession, you can fully exercise your position and power. Okatsuki will help you. We need you to play a greater role." Horiuchi said with a smile.

If you can put your position right, the Consulate General has to give some benefits. What he means is that these positions are not false titles. If you do it within the scope of your authority, if someone is not convinced, Okaki-sun will deal with them.

Although these words are not necessarily false, Chen Mingxiang will not take them seriously. It is far better to rely on his own power to win over people's hearts by relying on his own skills. The Gendarmerie Command has let him do it. What other waves can a group of small policemen make?

"The head of the Criminal Special High School is Shigeruzusa Goshima. He comes from the Gendarmerie Command and is the next Chief of the Special High School. He is expected to come to the Shanghai Stock Exchange around February 20th. Before the supervisor comes, you will be responsible for the Criminal Special High School for the time being."

"Of course, there are people below to handle the specific matters. There will probably be no major issues during the New Year. It's just that those idle guys in Hongkou District may have to fight and cause some trouble."

"You also use the office of the Ministry of Works and Department Building to avoid wasting time when moving around. Registration of household registration will begin on the 20th of this month. At the beginning of next month, the Imperial Army will impose controls on the public concessions, prohibiting possession of dangerous goods such as weapons and arms, prohibiting the flow of materials in the concessions, and registering all."

"As my assistant, you try to work at the Ministry of Industry and Technology during this period. There are many trivial matters. In a few days, you will take over the public utilities in the public concession first." said Okaki-na.

What kind of bullshit control is not for the wealth of foreign expatriates in the public concession? In the name of searching for contraband, I don’t know how many people will die in this process!

Chen Mingxiang got this date and his first thought was to come to the office building of the Industrial Bureau and to the office of the chief director Riddle. Coincidentally, four directors from Britain, the United States, the Netherlands and Philip, who were all drinking and smoking cigars here, but their faces were very ugly.

"Mr. Chen, we have submitted our resignation to the Board of Directors of the Ministry of Industry, which should be said to be the Japanese occupation agency, ending this period of humiliation and officially electing a new director on the seventh." Riddle said with a wry smile.

"Do you want me to help you evacuate the Shanghai Stock Exchange? When the Japanese army's attention is reduced, I can send you to the mountain city." Chen Mingxiang asked.

"No, we all have to be with the expatriates of our country. This is our duty. Thank you for your kindness. If you have time to see us, you will be grateful if you can't starve." Riddle's tone was full of desolation.

"At the beginning of next month, the Japanese army will conduct a large-scale search of foreign expatriates in the public concession. Try to say anything as early as possible. I will try my best to do it for you." Chen Mingxiang said.

"Mr. Chen, we do have something to ask for your help. The purpose of the Japanese occupying the concession is for wealth. According to the shamelessness and greed of the Japanese army, everyone's family will be turned upside down."

"After our secret contact, some of the valuables of the people want to ask you to keep for you. Coins and gold bars belong to you, some rare jewelry and gold jewelry, as well as certificates of deposit, land deeds and bonds, etc., please put them in a safe place."

"The commissioning period is twenty years. If you still have such a bad situation, you will give it all, and this is their last hope." Riddle said.

"Let me put it in Mara Villa for the time being. It is my chosen residence. Most people know that no matter it is the military police, the Marines, or the Japanese police station, they dare not come to find trouble easily. After a while, I will dig a cellar and bury it." Chen Mingxiang said.

He accepted the commission from the Board of Directors of the Ministry of Industry without hesitation. Time is tight and the task is heavy, so he has to put out the most energy to handle this matter.

Twenty years? This is simply a joke!

Chen Mingxiang firmly believed that with a military power like the United States participating in the war, the Japanese army would never last ten or eight years before admitting defeat. Perhaps in four or five years, China would be about to get rid of the invasion of the Japanese devils.

He had never thought of embezzling this wealth, and believed that the value of this matter was far higher than the value of these items, and the more favors he gave away, the better. Maybe after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he could play an unexpected role.

After secret contact between several people from the Ministry of Industry and Technology Bureau and a group of people, British and American businessmen in the concession who were interested in storing the items, many companies jointly sealed their valuables in boxes and entrusted them to Chen Mingxiang for safekeeping. There was no way out.

In order not to attract attention, the smaller the number of boxes, the better, so the things inside are also the most precious wealth.

There is a list in each box, and everyone signs and confirms it together, and then transports it to the Mala Villa by a truck from Huatong Trading Company, which is temporarily in a room.

"The foreign merchants in the concession are really rich. Look, how much does it cost to make boxes of US dollars, pounds, fiat currency and gold bars!" Wang Zhen said in amazement.

Her heart beat faster as she watched the living room full of coins and gold.

"Fire currency has little significance. The Japanese and the Wang puppet government will soon ban the circulation of fiat currency. In the future, you have to use the China Storage Coupons when trading and shopping. After a while, this will be a lot of waste paper!"

"Businessmen in the public concession also use fiat currency, and this is because most of the money is stored in the bank, otherwise they will get more."

"What a pity, the US dollar and pounds are too small. These foreigners are really good. Why don't you know how to save more money from your country!" Chen Mingxiang said regretfully.

"Do you still have to take all the good things in the world alone? It is beyond my expectations that they can trust you so much. I thought these people were burying their money underground!" Wang Zhen said.

"Do you think there is no? The people in the Ministry of Industry can contact you, that is, a small number of businessmen, and ordinary people can only die on their own."

"I dare say that most foreign expatriates would dig a hole to hide money and valuables. The Japanese army has always been to dig three feet of the ground, and they will definitely find a large amount of property."

"We can't control these things. You count the amount of the money and find a way to transport half of the legal currency back to the mountain city. As the funding of the bureau headquarters, the Kuomintang-controlled district still uses the legal currency. The other half is exchanged for the China Storage Coupon and serves as the office fund for the direct station." Chen Mingxiang said.
