Chapter 500: Risks and Opportunities Five

Looking at the two opened large leather suitcases, which were full of green dollars with black fronts and green backs, even Major General Kinoshita Sakae was dazzled, and even appeared temporarily sluggish.

At this time, the value of the U.S. dollar was very high. Only a few people could see so many U.S. dollars. The Gendarmerie Command released 28 merchants with a ransom of 1.4 million U.S. dollars, worth tens of millions of yen!

"Each person has a ransom of fifty thousand dollars. This is a beautiful thing. Since you did it alone, you take away twenty thousand dollars. Let's keep the rest!" Kinoshita Eiichi said with a smile.

Without Chen Mingxiang as an intermediary to contact the two sides, the Gendarmerie Command would definitely not be able to reap such benefits. Not only would British and American businessmen not contact the Japanese, but it would also be wishful thinking to send people away under the nose of the Marine Corps Command.

But the Marine Corps wanted to send people away, and it was somewhat of a hassle. So many prominent businessmen disappeared overnight, and someone would definitely ask them.

Half of the benefits allocated to the military police headquarters, once the two parties agree, unless the base camp is determined to investigate, it can only be ignored.

Anyway, none of the businessmen’s property was taken away. Does it matter if a few people run?

Chen Mingxiang did not refuse this time. He understood that Kinoshita would give him so much dividends and just gag his mouth. The remaining 840,000 U.S. dollars, this old devil would definitely want to monopolize, and he had to do the finishing touches. it is good.

"Please don't worry, your prince. I have all given red envelopes to the imperial army participating in the operation. After two days, there is no sign of any movement. I will give double red envelopes again." Chen Mingxiang said respectfully.

"I can rest assured that you do things. When the military police headquarters takes over the public concession area, your benefits will not be lost."

"In addition, for the properties, warehouses and shops you have delineated, I will give you the certificate of the military police headquarters, and will not be confiscated by the people of the hostile property disposal committee." Major General Kinoshita Eishi nodded and said, looking quite satisfied.

The bulk industries of those British and American businessmen in the public concession, such as utilities such as electricity, telephones, running water, bus companies, hotels, hotels, cinemas, horse racing halls, shipping vessels, apartments and other businesses, including docks and factories, even the military police headquarters There is no power to control.

The industries with important economic value in the Anglo-American concession were actually allocated to the relevant institutions of the four major forces, the army, the navy, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Xingya Institute, in Shanghai long before the war began. .

But for the large number of houses, shops, and accessories in the concession, the military police headquarters still has a certain degree of flexibility. After all, the number is too large to be digested for a while.

Some of these houses and shops will be taken care of by Japanese businessmen, and some will be allocated to Japanese expats to live and operate. Of course, those who are related, especially the Japanese military officers who have been retired and disabled, and the Japanese Ronin who have made "contributions."

"It is the honor and responsibility of the subordinate to be able to serve the general. If there is any gain, I will naturally express my gratitude to the general." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

The matter of the military police headquarters was handled, and then he drove to the Marine Corps headquarters. Within ten minutes, two generals and a few officers involved in the matter, as well as Kodama and Shifu, a group of people arrived. Eat and drink at a Japanese restaurant in Hongkou.

It’s more comfortable to deal with the Japanese navy. When I see the money, I put out tuna sashimi, which is like a person from the military police headquarters. He is a brave, and he is not willing to even have a meal!

"The navy has promised your ship. You can choose it tomorrow. This time more than 200 merchant ships have been captured. I can't give you the large tonnage ships. Japanese shipping companies are watching very closely. Those will only pick up ready-made ones. Guy, I started running to the front fleet headquarters yesterday, hoping to catch it all."

"I asked Commander Gu Hefeng to explain. It sounds like you need a boat. He agreed to this matter by exception. This is not a shame."

"Considering that you may go abroad for material transportation in the future, the headquarters will lease you a five-thousand-ton ship, and sell you four two-thousand-ton, fifty thousand US dollars each, and a small freighter under one thousand tons. Four ships, ten thousand dollars a ship." Lieutenant General Makita said.

The price can be said to be very low, anyway, the Japanese navy also snatched it, as to why the spoils can be sold to Chen Mingxiang, that is the internal affairs of the navy.

The most important thing is that the navy hopes that Chen Mingxiang will continue to provide strategic materials. If there is no "contribution" before, it will be unnecessary.

Why did Chen Mingxiang buy a boat?

In the past, water transportation between the city and the mountain was mainly based on British and American merchant ships, as well as a small number of local ships, but now the Japanese have robbed all of the British and American merchant ships, and future transportation will become a problem.

However, Chen Mingxiang did not pay a penny for buying the ship. The Marine Corps Command’s dividend was indeed not as high as that of the Gendarmerie Command. Everyone gave 10,000 U.S. dollars and 280,000 U.S. dollars after buying the ship and paying the rental fee. Twenty thousand dollars.

However, this guy has a fleet in a blink of an eye. It is still a military cargo ship hung under the Marine Corps headquarters. All the terminals do not have to pay any fees. They are protected by the Japanese Navy. How much is this worth?

"Your Excellency, I thank you for your care in the past. The navy has always been clean and honest. I didn't give you anything. I heard that you are going back to work in the country. I don't have any gifts that can be obtained. Twenty thousand dollars, just take it. I gave you the travel expenses." Chen Mingxiang returned to the commander's part and finished the money, and then transferred the money to the outgoing Major General Song Zhi.

This action was immediately appreciated by a group of people from the Marine Corps Command. Major General Matsue was all returning to China. It is estimated that the possibility of transferring to reserve service is very high. It will be of no use to Chen Mingxiang in the future. Under such circumstances, he can still This is indeed very rare, beyond their imagination.

Everyone also thought that if he had such a day, Chen Mingxiang might do the same. Such people must make good friends and don't take money in their eyes.

"Ming Xiang, as you said, the general Ying Zuo of the Mei agency has formally proposed to Chairman Wang that in order to facilitate the work of Qingxiang, the provincial chairman of Jiangsu Province should be Li Shiqun, and Chairman Wang also agreed. For this reason, Minister Zhou screamed at home just now." Ding Mocun said with a smile.

Chen Mingxiang gained unimaginable huge benefits from the Japanese military's occupation of the concession. Anyway, he didn't make money from the people in his country, and he didn't have any psychological burden.

As soon as I returned home from the Marine Corps headquarters, I received a call from Ding Mocun and told me a piece of news that was not news.
