Chapter 508 New Year's Day Cocktail Party

For ordinary people in the Shanghai stock market, rice, which is no more ordinary food, has already shown a serious shortage, but for Chen Mingxiang, it is nothing more than a trivial matter.

The Qingxiang Committee of Li Shiqun robbed farmers and grain shops in the Suzhou area and divided them into three pieces for distribution. The Japanese army occupied one piece, Li Shiqun’s company took up one piece, and Chen Mingxiang’s Huafeng company took up one piece, just like a powder cake.

After the Huafeng Company shipped the grain to the Shanghai stock market, it gave part of the Japanese military police headquarters and the Marine Corps headquarters, and sold the rest to grain companies for huge profits.

If Chen Mingxiang doesn't do it, some people are rushing to do it. During the period of national crisis, some people who want to make money is that he certainly does not refuse such a deal.

Fifty shi of rice is more than five thousand catties, and the weight of more than two tons is really a lot in the underground party's opinion, but Chen Mingxiang didn’t take it seriously. Even if one stone of rice can make one hundred, fifty shi is five thousand. A legal currency can also be taken out of his wallet.

"Looking at the development of the situation, the food crisis in the Shanghai stock market will only get worse before the day when the Anti-Japanese War is won. Can we provide this kind of low-priced rice more than once? We now have no ability, financial resources, or access to food. "

"The Japanese army is very strict in the traffic arteries and docks. When encountering people with food, not only the food will be robbed, but the people may also be killed. The comrades in the periphery cannot smuggle the food in." Zheng Tonghui said.

It is true that underground party organizations in the surrounding areas of the Shanghai stock market can also raise some food, but the Japanese army blocked traffic lines too tightly. Last week, two comrades were shot and almost died.

"The problem is not very big. I am now smuggling grain from Suzhou to the Shanghai stock market. In addition to supplying the Japanese army, I also sell it to the Shanghai stock market at a high price. As long as this line continues, I can think of a way for the grain you need. "Chen Mingxiang said.

Zheng Tonghui was just about to say something, and then he didn't know why, but he swallowed the words back into his stomach. Although this is making a fortune, Chen Mingxiang does not do such a thing. Some people will do it, and if he doesn't touch his hands, what will he take To help the underground party?

Chen Mingxiang smiled and didn't mention the matter again. Of course he saw that Zheng Tonghui was ready to speak, and he could guess what he wanted to say. He was about to make a spike to stimulate the underground party member, but the other party was so experienced. Very, not fooled.

The working styles of the military command and the underground party are completely different. The military command bureau has always paid attention to everything, and there is no bottom line.

But the underground party must pay attention to the bottom line and principles in everything. This is also one of the reasons why Chen Mingxiang rarely contacts with Zheng Tonghui. He is a little uncomfortable with such constraints. After all, he has been trained and influenced by the Military Manpower Bureau, and he will think about it for a while. Can't be reversed.

New Year's Day is a holiday of the Wang Puppet government, but the solar calendar is not a lunar year after all. Traditional festivals still dominate people’s hearts and emotions. Therefore, there is no lively scene in the streets and lanes, and the atmosphere is not very lively. .

However, the city government attaches great importance to New Year's Day, and it is estimated that it is also learning from the Shancheng government. For this reason, it also specially used the club of the Foreign Affairs Office to hold a grand reception that evening, and Chen Gongbo specially delivered a speech congratulating the New Year.

The constituent bodies of the pseudo-Shanghai Special Municipal Government, commonly known as the Secretariat and the Eight Bureaus, as well as various committees and offices, various counties, districts and public offices, Wang and the pseudo-government in Shanghai, and celebrities from the Shanghai market, etc., participated For this reception.

The 13th Army Command of the Japanese Army, the Gendarmerie Command in Shanghai, the Special Agency of the Ministry of Army in Shanghai, the Ume Agency, the Japanese Navy Fleet Command, the Third Fleet Command, the Marine Corps Command, the Kodama Agency, and The Central China Liaison Department of the Asian Academy, the Consulate General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Shanghai and other Japanese forces in Shanghai, as well as the agencies of the Japanese chaebol in Shanghai, have also sent representatives to participate in the reception.

This is the first New Year's Day after the Japanese army has fully occupied the Shanghai stock market. The Japanese army also attaches great importance to it and strives to create a "goodwill" face.

"Commissioner Chen, Minister Li moved to Suzhou for permanent residence, and our secret service headquarters immediately lost its status. The secret service headquarters of the city government's New Year's Day reception was not invited."

"Yang Jie and I still got the invitation from the Deputy Chief of the Investigation and Statistics Department, otherwise it would be ashamed." Xia Zhongming said with a wry smile.

Chen Gongbo didn't wait to see the secret agent headquarters, and it was not news. He didn't expect that after Li Shiqun went to Suzhou, the city government would not give any face to him. Such an important official reception would not even send out invitations.

Xia Zhongming and Yang Jie are the deputy ministers of the Investigation and Statistics Department. No matter whether this department is empty or not, even if they know what is going on, the level is here. They must send invitations.

After Li Shiqun and a group of important characters left, the status of the secret agent headquarters has indeed plummeted. Although no one has dared to understand the stumbling, but people can't afford to hide, and alienation is inevitable.

"You are also a deputy minister anyway. Don't make such low-level mistakes in the future, so as not to be laughed at. The Secret Service Headquarters is now only a special agency under the Department of Investigation and Statistics. In terms of it, it is at most at the level of the municipal police station, and the director is equivalent Director Yu."

"In the past, Minister Li was invited by the municipal government because of his status as the Minister of Police and Political Affairs. Fu Yewen was not even a deputy director. The secretary-general was barely a secretary and director. It was almost a grade to attend this reception."

"The official cocktail party pays the most attention to identity, and it almost doesn't work. Although the agent headquarters has great power, Fu Yewen's level is not enough. If he is the deputy director, I have to get him an invitation."

"Pan Ta is different. His Huxi Special Police Headquarters is now directly under the municipal government. It is of the same nature as the Foreign Affairs Office. The municipal police only has the power to supervise, so he is eligible to participate in the reception." Chen Mingxiang said.

The Secret Service Headquarters used to be rampant and domineering in the Shanghai stock market. They have never considered similar issues. Even if they dare not send invitations to the Secret Service Headquarters at a cocktail party, is this a provocation?

Xia Zhongming was given a lesson by Chen Mingxiang, and he also thought that Fu Yewen's post of secretary-general was indeed appointed internally. The appointment and dismissal of personnel at the secret agent headquarters was recorded in the Investigation and Statistics Department.

He smiled awkwardly and ran away quickly, complaining about Li Shiqun in his heart. You gave Fu Yewen an upright position. Appointment as deputy director is just a matter of one sentence, right now?

"Commissioner Chen, Sibao and Zhang Guozhen have been sneaky these days, and they don't know what they are thinking about. I am worried about bad things. At this time of the year, these people will make foreign money for the New Year." Pan Da He came over and said, with a worried look on his face.
