Because Yokohama Shokin Bank was already half-business and half-official when it was established, and the support of the Japanese government played a decisive role in its steady development.
And in this bank, because the Japanese government holds one-third of the shares, it can pay dividends from it every year.
It is for this reason that Zhengjin Bank immediately obtained the rights and status as the Japanese government's legal intermediary for foreign trade and bulk cargo transit center, and also received special protection.
As early as May 1891, Xiang Ma Yongyin, director of Zhengjin Bank, went to Shanghai for an inspection and believed that it was necessary to launch exchange business in Shanghai.
Therefore, on May 15, 1893, Yokohama Shokin Bank established a branch in Shanghai.
But at that time, the main business of Zhengjin Bank in China was not storage for the common people, but the management of war reparations.
Because of the corruption and incompetence of the Qing government, China stipulated in the Treaty of Shimonoseki that China should pay Japan a compensation of 230 million taels of silver. In the Treaty of Xinchou, Japan received a compensation of 34.79 million taels of silver.
For these two huge sums of money, the Japanese government entrusted Zhengjin Bank as the collecting bank and managed them well.
And with the changes of time, the current Zhengjin Bank has become a behemoth for Japan. Even in the Northeast region, the power of Zhengjin Bank has reached an incredible level.
Therefore, this bank is very important to Japan.
Since he wanted to teach the Japanese a lesson, it would naturally not be a small fuss, he would have to hit their pain points, so Zhengjin Bank naturally became an ideal target for Levi.
"Do you understand the situation?" After Chen Xuan finished speaking, Li Wei looked at the silent people sitting at the bottom and asked softly.
"Understood." After everyone heard Li Wei's words, they immediately nodded and replied.
To be honest, at this time, they also know how crazy Mr. is this time, and they are preparing five action targets to attack together!
To be honest, at this moment, they felt as if something suddenly welled up in their hearts.
But what the hell, sir, aren't you afraid? What should you and others be afraid of? Fuck it.
"Okay, let's attack in five places at the same time. If we don't take action, that's it. Once we do, we will hit the Japanese hard, hit them painfully, and hit them within seven inches."
"These days, they think that by occupying Shanghai, they can do whatever they want, but this time, I want to tell them through this operation that they are wrong. Shanghai is still the territory of the Chinese, and they want to be safe and sound in Shanghai.
It's simply impossible to stay still." Li Wei looked at everyone, and then said in a cold tone.
"Yes." After everyone heard Li Wei's words, they immediately stood up and said loudly to Li Wei.
Since the husband has already made plans and arrangements, what do they have to fear?
Just do it and it’s done!
"Well, sit down, sit down." Levi looked at everyone like this, then pressed down with his hand, and said softly.
"Although we have made very adequate preparations, we still cannot underestimate the Japanese. This time I not only have to complete all the operational goals, but also ensure that the brothers do not have any problems. Even after the operation is completed, they will not be exposed.
Our whereabouts and traces.”
"To put it bluntly, we have to be like ghosts, coming and going without a trace and getting things done, but the Japanese can't find our whereabouts at all. Is this the most important thing to understand?"
After everyone sat down, Levi continued to tell everyone what they needed to pay attention to in this counterattack.
This counterattack can be regarded as an act of revenge, but revenge is okay, but after the revenge is completed, you cannot drag yourself and others into the water. This is the most critical thing.
That's why Levi repeatedly emphasized the evacuation arrangements after the operation, because if this matter could not be done well, then he would rather not cause trouble with Japan.
After all, this deal is really not worth it. Besides, all of his operational team members are valuable talents and cannot be lost in this kind of thing.
Of course, the reason why Li Wei chose to act at this time was not only because the Shanghai Station was completely changed by the Japanese this time, so he was temporarily passionate and then prepared to avenge Zheng Tianmo and others.
Although Li Wei is the deputy station director of Shanghai Station, he is not that great yet. In order to avenge Zheng Tianmo and others, he took the risk to drag down his brothers.
The reason why he chose to plan such a large-scale plan at this time was entirely because the timing was right.
As for why I say this, it’s because the Japanese currently don’t have enough manpower.
Nowadays, the Japanese in Shanghai do not fully trust the Chinese, so they like to do everything themselves.
But Shanghai is so big, how many manpower can the Japanese have in Shanghai?
Therefore, their personnel stationed in Shanghai simply cannot take care of them, and even tend to focus on one thing and not the other in many cases.
This is also one of the reasons why Zheng Tianmo's men assassinated Japanese officers every day some time ago, but the Japanese were never able to round them up.
After all, since ancient times, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, but how can you prevent a thief for a thousand days?
Well, Zheng Tianmo and the others are not thieves, but that’s what they mean!
So this gave me and others an opportunity to take advantage of, and now was the best time.
If this opportunity is missed, it will definitely be impossible to plan such a big action in the future.
Because in a few months, the Japanese will support a group of traitors to set up a secret service headquarters to use China to control China.
The establishment of this department will not only liberate the Japanese, and then devote themselves wholeheartedly to the intelligence battlefield, but all the people in this department have come from the Chinese secret service department, and they are very familiar with Chinese agents.
The situation is very familiar.
In addition, this group of people had just joined a new master, who was extremely vicious and wanted to achieve results quickly and then claim credit in front of their master.
So at that time, I had to keep my tail between my legs and be a human being. After all, the noses of those people are really smarter than the noses of dogs.
Therefore, at that time, if I were planning such an action, I would really be leading these brothers to seek death.
Therefore, at this time, on the one hand, the Japanese currently have too few manpower, giving themselves a chance.
Of course, in addition to this, there were two other reasons. It was these two reasons that made Li Wei really determined to do something.
