The journey starts from the Titanic

The Chinese even set up gun emplacements there, deployed submarine forces, and built air force bases. The warships of the great powers could no longer go deep inland, and even their influence in Shanghai was weakening.In the future, even the empire’s combined fleet will not be able to knock on the door of China easily.

Two days later, a Japanese spy sent to an inland city was revealed to have been secretly arrested. Kenji Doihara was overwhelmed by the fire and rushed to negotiate with the Paris nightclub in the public concession, but was forced back.

After returning home, Kenji Doihara roared again: "Baga! The smelly Taoist priest in Wuhan, the axe gang leader in Ye Paris, all damn it."

It is a pity that he was transferred back to the country without waiting for a chance to avenge him. After tossing around, he soon went to the Northeast and joined the Kwantung Army.

From the Shanghai Municipal Government, a young military officer, Dai Chunfeng, head of the Shanghai Military Intelligence Bureau, walked into the office of the new mayor Wang Yaqiao with a serious expression of respect.

The former mayor, Sun Ke, has been transferred back to Wuhan due to his outstanding performance and served as the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Finance. He who assisted him, "Uncle" Song Ziwen, has taken an important position in the Wuhan government.

There are still many people of insight in the Kuomintang like him. With economic and political interests, a large number of Kuomintang members actively approach the Zhigong Party and join the Wuhan government to use their performance to fight for more power.

"That guy Doi has been transferred! The new appointment hasn't come down yet, do we take the opportunity to send a Japanese spy to a ruthless one?"

Dai Chunfeng suggested to Wang Yaqiao.Wang Yaqiao is not only the mayor of Shanghai, but also a larger background-the deputy director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, who is second only to the director of Absinthe, the No. 2 spy chief.

The axe gang supported by Wang Yaqiao is the number one gang in the concession, directly and indirectly infiltrating all aspects of the Shanghai concession. The British, French and American consulates know it well and support the young gang to fight against it, but the young gang has repeatedly suffered from the first half of the official background.

The foreigners have to admit that the Axe Gang is bigger in the concession. They take advantage of the situation and are happy to see the fight between the Axe Gang and the Japanese Black Dragon Association.

"It doesn't matter if you leave. As for the small fishes, just look at them well, put a long line to catch the big ones, and settle accounts with them one by one in the future."

Wang Yaqiao ordered.

As the largest gang leader in China and the mayor of the largest city, the gang mayor governs the gang city, and he is right!Wang Yaqiao has such confidence.

"Good." Dai Chunfeng said respectfully.Looking at Wang Yaqiao with envy, if he could become a military and political officer like Wang Yaqiao, it would be so beautiful!

"Go ahead. The old Taoist priest and I are optimistic about you." Wang Yaqiao encouraged Dai Chunfeng, and his enthusiasm made the future agent trump card a little warm.

There are surprising similarities in history. In history, Wang Yaqiao and Dai Chunfeng’s grievances are complicated, but now there is no Wang Yaqiao assassinating Jiang. The two are on the same front. The original scene of cannibalism in history has been unknowingly avoided.

Coming out of Wang Yaqiao, Dai Chunfeng hesitated, because he was about to become the stationmaster of Yanjing Station, leading the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Bureau in North China.

Leaving Shanghai where Wang Yaqiao’s influence is shrouded in influence, Dai Chunfeng moved more freely, taking his own role and giving full play to his skills.

This is a good opportunity for men who desire power.

"Is he competent?" Looking at Dai Chunfeng's back, Wang Yaqiao asked a question mark in his heart: the warlords of the Beiyang system, the Communist Party, the Kuomintang, the Japanese, the Soviets, the diplomats of the United States, France and other countries. People are his opponents, is he competent?

At present, in Wuhan, what may be the most desired is to speed up the split and incorporate the KMT?

Wang Yaqiao thought again.

Time is up, go meet that guy!

He raised his watch and glanced at it, and turned off a reception.Recently, more people are coming to Shanghai.

Chapter 89

"Since Department Store is developing so fast! This store is no less than the one in the concession!"

Situ Nan walked into the Sincere Department Store in the city, looked at the dazzling array of goods, and whispered to Wang Yaqiao and Ma Yingbiao, the owner of Sincere Department Store.

Here is the second branch of Sincere Department Store in Shanghai. It is 8 storeys high and is built of reinforced concrete. One to four floors are used as department stores, and the hotel is on the upper level. It can accommodate 500 rooms for shopping. Integrating accommodation and business, it is a rare commercial land king. It echoes the first branch in the public concession, showing the important position of Chinese Capital in the department store industry.

"Boss Ma is well managed, and he is the leader of Chinese businessmen who do not lose money."

Situ Nanzan said.

"Ashamed, I can't be a business leader in front of Mr. Situ!"

Ma Yingbiao looks ordinary, but has a spirit. He was happy when he heard Situ Nan’s praise, and he would not be too proud. He did not forget to mention Wang Yaqiao beside him, "Speaking of which, Mayor Wang and The government's support for our Chinese businessmen has helped Sincere Department Store to block the malicious competition of many foreign businessmen."

"Yes. We won't be able to control the concession for a while, but the government has to take courage to protect the national industry and commerce on the one-acre three-quarters of land we give to the Gong Party government."

Wang Yaqiao took it for granted.Although business is not what he is good at, he pays more attention to politics and intelligence work, but there is a professional team behind him, and the Shanghai Hua District is thriving under his rule.

A group of people wandered among the various commodities in a low-key manner. The security guards in disguise behind them cautiously and nervously squeezed other customers away, without affecting the business of the store.

Situ Nan's face always had a faint smile, wondering how long hasn't he been shopping freely like ordinary people?

In fact, most of the customers who can walk into the department store are not poor, there are foreigners, and more Chinese. Most of them are neatly dressed, showing that they have a good living standard.

"None? Interesting."

Situ Nan picked up an exquisite toothbrush from the shelf, with a smooth wooden handle, and neat and tough bristles. Situ Nan laboriously pulled out a brush from it.

This toothbrush, um, is of good quality. Situ Nan secretly appreciates that the name of this toothbrush is good, and the most important thing is that it is a domestic product.

"Haha. This is a toothbrush made in Guangdong. The quality is very good, the price is expensive, and the price is one yuan. It is the most high-end toothbrush in the country. His boss is called the toothbrush king. He has cooperated with our department store for many years and followed us. Shi Department Stores are sold in Shanghai, and now they are sold across the country. Of course, they sell more of the ordinary grade, which is cheaper and more suitable for ordinary people."

Ma Yongbiao answered with a smile.

The goods in the company, he introduced to Situ Nan the products in the store, "In addition to the unrefined, toothbrush and brush products produced in Sichuan recently, the sales are also very strong, the daring manufacturers in Guangdong all went to Sichuan to open factories. We have always paid attention to the production and operation of suppliers. Generally speaking, in addition to high-end electrical products, our department stores are more willing to purchase goods from powerful domestic factories."

Ma Yongbiao added.

"To support domestic products, Sincere Department Store does play a very important role. I have been to Sichuan, where the bristle industry has indeed developed rapidly, but I did not expect that products will be launched in Shanghai so soon."

Situ Nan nodded and smiled with emotion. He knew very well that, as the leading department store controlled by the Meihua Consortium, Xi'an Department Store developed from Guangdong to Shanghai and naturally has close relations with many Chinese business enterprises behind it.

"Haha. This is nothing. The most important thing in domestic products is textiles. The most sigh is the Dasheng Spinning Factory. We send tens of millions of orders to Dasheng Spinning Factory every year. No, the textile area is in front. You see, cloth, towels, bed sheets, and duvet covers are almost all products of Dasheng Yarn Mill. Many other factories in Shanghai purchase yarn from Dasheng Yarn Mill."

When Ma Yingbiao mentioned the word Dasheng, his tone was full of respect and envy that could not be concealed.His words reveal the close cooperation between Sincere Department Store and Dasheng, a national textile brand.

Situ Nan nodded and looked around the department store. There are a lot of customers buying textiles.

Compared with expensive electrical appliances, cheap textiles are more easily accepted by ordinary citizens. The market here is huge and should not be underestimated. At least, Situ Nan can't see a piece of cotton fabric produced by Japanese enterprises in the first department store!

After walking a small circle in the first department store, Situ Nan had a more intuitive feeling about the all-round penetration of the American China Consortium in the national industry. It is difficult for outsiders to show off to others.

Of course, Ma Yingbiao, the unsurprisingly-looking department store giant, was also an important participant, and his performance made Situ Nan admire.

"I glanced hastily, and at least found that there are more than 30 kinds of goods produced by factories in Shanghai. This is not a small proportion. Pharaoh, I think, in a few years, the Chinese area will catch up with the concession. ."

Situ Nan was not confused by the dazzling merchandise in front of him, nor was he as surprised as the Chinese who walked into Sincere Department Store at the door as if they walked into the Grand View Garden. Instead, he quickly calculated in his heart and had a more accurate estimate of the local industry in Shanghai.

Wang Yaqiao was surprised by Situ Nan’s sensitivity to Shanghai’s industry and commerce, and he did not forget to nod his head: "Well. Although the concession is prosperous, after all, the place is small. The industrial industry in China has developed rapidly and the society is stable. It has indeed attracted more investors to invest in factories in China. It is not a delusion to catch up with and surpass the concession."

Where does Wang Yaqiao’s confidence come from? Situ Nan also understands that it is easy for Lao Wang to be a town in Shanghai. Although he is not a politician who is good at developing business, he can only trust the city government’s professionals who are closely related to Meihua Company. And rule".

In the textile area, Situ Nan also saw a piece of delicate silk, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to touch it, and his fingertips sent a soft touch no less than a girl's skin.

"This is silk from Zhejiang, the finest Nanxun silk, which was recommended to us by the agricultural cooperative of Nanhua Food Co., Ltd. not long ago. It is said that the quality is not inferior to Japanese silk, and its sales in Shanghai are good."

Ma Yingbiao was about to speak to Situ Nan when suddenly the bodyguard in front of him discovered something and faintly protected Situ Nan and the others.
