Chapter 496: Risks and Opportunities

The Pacific Fleet’s station was bombed by the Japanese army. It was so terrible that the US government was furious. While yelling at the Japanese government for shamelessness, it declared war on Japan and formally joined the ranks of World War II.Immediately afterwards, the British and Dutch governments also declared war on Japan, and then the Yamashiro government also declared war on Japan.

"Mr. Riddle, you are asking me to meet you so late. Is there anything I need to help you?" Chen Mingxiang said in Riddle's office.

At around eleven o'clock in the evening, Chen Mingxiang received a call from Riddle and asked him to come to the office for a talk. It happened that Chen Mingxiang was on duty tonight and went straight to his office.

Although occupying the public concession, the Japanese army did not mobilize the management of the Ministry of Industry of the Concession, and maintained the operation with the original personnel, but the orders issued were all Japanese meanings, and Katsuo Okaki was the Japanese controlling the Ministry of Industry. representative.

In addition to Riddle in the office, there are Chief of Police Smythe, American director Minside, British director Porock, and President Philip.

"Mr. Chen, we implore you to provide help to the people in the concessions of the United Kingdom and the United States, and secretly protect a group of people from the Shanghai stock market. Although the Japanese have not done anything to ordinary people, you and I know it in your heart. This is just a temporary buffer. It's just a period."

"Both governments have issued instructions asking us to send some important business people back to the country as much as possible, but after thinking about it, at the moment, only you have this ability and master this channel in the entire Shanghai stock market."

"Of course, considering that this matter is too difficult, they will be responsible for the management expenses, including their houses, shops, cars, goods, warehouses, etc., and they will also give a considerable amount of cash." Riddle said.

The administrative officials in the British and American concessions are not fools. Of course, they can see the Japanese plan. In capitalist countries, business professionals are the most powerful class. Currently, they are putting pressure on the government to request the rescue of important British and American companies stranded in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. .

After discussion, officials from the Ministry of Industry of the Public Concession still hope that Chen Mingxiang can provide assistance.

And everyone knows that since Chen Mingxiang can do strategic material smuggling with British and American businessmen, he is definitely not one with the Japanese. The reason why he put on a face close to the Japanese is more for self-protection and in order to be in troubled times. Just seek some wealth.

"Everyone, you also understand in your heart that this matter is not a question of money at all. I have been working with the United Kingdom and the United States for so long. What is going on. I don't need to say any more."

"If possible, I would rather not pay a penny and give everyone away to gain everyone's friendship. Money is of secondary importance."

"At the time the concession was not occupied, I reminded of the possible crisis. Relying on my close relationship with the Japanese, there was a way to send everyone away."

"But now there are Japanese soldiers everywhere in the concession. If I do this, once the other party finds out, I will risk my life. Don't think I am important to the Japanese!"

"I am not optimistic about the war between Japan and your two countries, and I am very willing to leave a way for myself, but the fate is gone, no matter how much money is there." Chen Mingxiang shook his head in embarrassment.

This is a negotiation strategy. He is very sure to send a few people out of the Shanghai stock market. Both the Marine Corps Command and the Gendarmerie Command will give himself this opportunity.

After these people have been robbed of their assets, it is useless to keep them. Instead, they will waste food, and doing personal favors is considered waste utilization.

But how to maximize his own interests is the most important thing. With the opportunity of threatening his life, he can gain the greatest gratitude.

"We also have our own difficulties. It's not that we don't want to listen to your advice. When the matter has reached this point, we still have to talk about how to make it. This is a list of evacuation. There are 16 British businessmen and 12 American businessmen. Including their family."

"This box contains their title deeds, including the house and real estate, as well as the transfer letter and the house purchase contract. As long as you sign, all their properties in the Shanghai stock market belong to you. I think the Japanese will also recognize your ownership. "Mingside said.

"When Japan is defeated, they can still come back, why give me the real estate?" Chen Mingxiang frowned.

"I don’t know how things will happen in the future, besides, this is nothing to them. Most of the funds have already been transferred back to China. I will transfer it to you for US$2.8 million in two days. Rescue funds, but you have to get things done." Riddle said.

It's really rich. What is the concept of 2.8 million US dollars? The ratio of legal tender to U.S. dollars has reached 30 to one, and more than 80 million legal tenders!

Let’s take a look at the people on this list. Which one is not a famous millionaire on the Shanghai stock market? This refers to U.S. dollars. If you take this money out, it won’t hurt your muscles at all. Extraordinarily amazing.

In fact, Chen Mingxiang's current assets are not necessarily less than this amount of money, but he has never seen more than two million US dollars in cash!

"Isn't the price we offered enough to impress him? How do you see that he still looks sad when he leaves?" Ming Side said.

Chen Mingxiang only agreed to give it a try and talk to important Japanese generals, but he looked like a prisoner going to the execution ground, without being surprised by the astronomical expenses.

"Did you not listen to him? No matter how much money you can't buy your own life, the most fear is that you can get your life and spend it! If this thing can be done, everyone will give him an extra 350,000 yuan. , What's the use of asking for money?" Riddle said.

When he returned to the home of the Bank of China, Chen Mingxiang called Wang Zhen over to take a look at his gains. Hearing the rewards offered by British and American businessmen, he heard Wang Zhen as if he was dreaming.

These top-notch wealthy people are all well-known big names in the public concession, but right now, they are free to choose the mansions that are well-known in the Shanghai stock market.

"I see it, Villa Mala, the most famous and unique fairy tale villa on the Shanghai stock market. I like it very much. I care about choosing a long-term residence. This is it." Chen Mingxiang pointed to a document with emotion. Said.

This is a wealthy British Jewish businessman who built a villa according to the picture in his daughter’s dream. It has been completed only five years ago. It is one of the most famous buildings in Shanghai. Chen Mingxiang used to think about it, but now, He signs a word, and the villa belongs to him.

They were bought rather than given away, and they spent 100,000 US dollars. These foreigners thought very carefully. The documents were not flawed. In the future, they will be litigated. Looking at the title deed and the house purchase agreement, no one can take the house!
