After operating in the Shanghai stock market for several years, Chen Mingxiang also has some experience and experience on how to deal with the Japanese puppets. The Japanese aggressors and traitors are both virtues, and there is no money that cannot be defeated. As long as he is given enough time, It is completely capable of weaving a network of relationships outside the customs and North China.

But the problem lies with him. In order to deal with the Shancheng government's greatest enemy, the Wang Puppet government, he has already taken root in the Shanghai stock market, and it has been deeply rooted.

Intelligence agencies and secret service agencies hold multiple jobs, the municipal government holds three jobs, and there are a lot of relationships to be used. The influence gradually penetrated into Jinling, Suzhou and Hangzhou. The commercial network spread all over the territory of the Wang puppet government. Hands and eyes open to the sky.

Let's put it this way, even if Chen Mingxiang wants to go, he can't go. The Japanese puppets in central China will not let him go. Therefore, he can only target North China, which is feasible.

"Chen Jun, in view of the urgent domestic supply of military supplies, the headquarters of the Xingya Institute has approved your application to allow the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Institute to use part of the gold and foreign exchange operations. However, for the imperial army and military police on the transportation road, You must cooperate unconditionally to ensure the safety of material transportation, and the matter of material transactions is up to you." Ota Taiji said.

There are some things he cannot talk to Chen Mingxiang. The situation in the production of military supplies in Japan is worse than he said. Otherwise, the Xingya Institute would not approve the use of gold and foreign exchange to grab purchases.

The attitude of the military leaders is very clear. As long as they can get the strategic materials urgently needed by the military, it is worth paying some price. Moreover, in the occupied areas of Southeast Asia, the Xingya Institute has asked the merchants to develop and utilize them as soon as possible to supply materials to the empire. .

"Your Excellency, thank you for winning so many favorable terms for me. I promise to complete this task for the Empire and for the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Institute, and it will be 100% completed."

"As for the Shanghai Branch of the Japan Textile Industry Association, please contact the military for me. They made less money this time and hold prejudices against me. The conversation will inevitably be a little unpleasant."

"I need 10,000 pieces of cotton yarn and 5,000 pieces of leading muslin, which must be completed within two months. Please settle the payment with the imperial merchants and put the goods in the warehouse at Shiliupu Wharf." Chen Mingxiang said.

Ten thousand pieces of cotton yarn are forty-five million legal tenders, and five thousand leading muslins are thirty million legal tenders, which is only part of the whole index. From this, we can also see how amazing the scale of this material transaction is.

"Alright, let me take care of this matter. The textile merchants of the Empire in the Shanghai stock market have shown selfishness in this mission. It makes you laugh. They don't want to think about it. If the Empire and the army provide so much Resources, can they get so many benefits in China?"

"Now the empire and the army need them to make a little less money and provide goods in exchange for military supplies for combat. They immediately used the relationship between the corporate headquarters and went to the Xingya Academy to complain. Even I was sued. It was a jerk! "

"It is said that the Central China Liaison Department does not consider the interests of imperial merchants, affects the operation of textile enterprises in China, disrupts the production plan of the textile industry, and this will have serious consequences for the supply of military supplies in the future." Taiji Ota said angrily.

It is precisely because of the resistance of these Japanese businessmen that angered the big bosses of the Xingya Academy and the big bosses of the military, this transaction plan can be approved smoothly. The military and chaebols use each other, collude and contradict each other. Complexity.

But the problem is that the army does not have the ability to do business, and most of the resources acquired need to be converted into war capital by these chaebols. Therefore, it is not possible to exert high pressure on the merchants, and the headache is not a day or two.

"Your Excellency, most of the businessmen are short-sighted, focusing only on the immediate benefits. It is normal to care about a little loss. This is a sensitive period, and the imperial businessmen feel that they have suffered a loss, and they will have trouble if they are fine. , We should not touch too much."

"When the mission is over and the work between you and the Greater East Asia Province is completed, I will banquet the army alone and give some special products of China as a souvenir. I will ask you to show your face when that time comes." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

"This is natural. You are very thoughtful. You can go to the present level and do have excellent working ability. Your Huatong Trading Company is also a military enterprise, and the Central China Liaison Department will consider supporting it." Fan words are very satisfied.

It's strange that he is not satisfied!

Chen Mingxiang meant that during his tenure as the head of the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy, in order to avoid those businessmen from staring at him, the "intentions" of this mission would not be fulfilled for the time being, so as to avoid any problems.

After the revocation of the Xingya Institute, the handover of the affairs will be completed with the dispatched organization in Central China of the Greater East Asia Province, and it will be fulfilled when the plan is to return to Japan for the elderly. This will benefit both parties.

It's no wonder that Chen Mingxiang is highly valued by the Japanese army stationed in Shanghai and the Shanghai Special Municipal Government. This is not unreasonable. The way of doing things is almost impeccable. With such subordinates, the superiors are not at all relaxed!

Chen Mingxiang's analysis is right. Taiji Ota will soon be transferred to reserve. His psychology at this moment has changed a lot from before. He has become more rational, and his demand for economic benefits far exceeds his loyalty to the empire.

"Your Excellency, at the invitation of Qingyin Dazuo, the staff of the North China Headquarters, I will make a trip to North China in the near future, and I plan to transport the goods there to Central China. But you also understand that the imperial army in each region , The management of things on his own site is relatively strict, especially the material control agency." Chen Mingxiang will not talk about it here.

"I know what you want to say. The military headquarters is implementing a war-raising strategy. The garrison in each place must find a way to maintain logistical supplies. This is also helpless and inevitable."

"The military does not directly manage economic affairs. You have a relationship with the military police system and will not be embarrassed too much. In this way, I will say hello to Major General Shiozawa Qingxuan, the head of the North China Liaison Department of the Xingya Institute. You will meet after you arrive in Peking. He, our relationship is pretty good."

"Material control agencies in North China must accept the management of the liaison department. With the cargo handling permit issued by him, you don't have to worry about restrictions on commercial activities." Ota said with a smile.

"What you said, the Xingya Institute will be revoked soon, and the pass of the liaison department can only be maintained for a short time, and it will be a troublesome matter in the future." Chen Mingxiang said.

"That’s not true. I’m going to return to Japan to take up my post. I will be transferred to the reserve after the transition. Shiozawa’s Qingxuan is different. After the Xingya Academy is abolished, he will become the empire’s special and plenipotentiary minister in North China, and is actually responsible for everything. Administrative affairs are not purely diplomatic," said Ota Taiji.
