Coming out of the military police headquarters in Shanghai, Chen Mingxiang immediately came to the resident of the plum agency and successfully met the chief of the agency, Lieutenant General Matsui Takuro.

The top military adviser of the Jinling government is generally based in Jinling, but the Shanghai Stock Exchange is an important base for the Mei Department. Some members are based in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Matsui Takuro returns twice a month.

"Your Excellency, I intend to leave the customs in these two days to provide necessary support for the branch's business. I hope to get your help. For me, there are two completely unfamiliar environments." Chen Mingxiang said.

"Chen Jun, you have always had a close relationship with the empire. We should speak more bluntly in some things. There is no need to be too polite, so chatting is easier."

"After you arrive in Manchukuo, you don't need to spend money on ties everywhere. It is the generals and officials of the empire stationed in Manchukuo that are useful for you to truly hold power."

"I will introduce you to two important people in Manchuria. One is Lieutenant General Yasuji Yoshioka, the imperial family. He has a very deep relationship with me. I used to be the chief of the secret service in Peking and he was the chief of the special service in Wucheng. Now it’s the third time to serve as the emperor’s personal secretary."

"The role of Yoshioka Yasuo is to act as a contact between the Kwantung Army Headquarters and the Emperor of Manchuria. His influence in Manchuria can be imagined. As long as he comes out to say hello, your local business will not What embarrassment is it?"

"The other is His Excellency Takebe Rokuzo. He is not a member of the military, but belongs to the government. When I was the top military adviser of Manchukuo, I had contact with him for several months and got along very well. After taking office, I will give him gifts every year."

"As the chief general affairs officer of the State Council of Manchuria, Takebe Rokuzo is the real decision maker in government affairs. If you want to transport goods from outside the customs to central China by sea, he can play the most critical role." Matsui Takuro said with a smile. .

Chen Mingxiang was surprised. The 100,000 US dollars he spent was not wasted. The two real power invaders outside the customs, one is the secretary of the pseudo-emperor, the other is the person in charge of administrative affairs of the pseudo-government, they are very valuable to him, and they have provided them. With assistance, business outside the customs is almost unimpeded.

"Thank you for your help, as long as the business of Guanwai is carried out smoothly, there must be a return from you. In fact, I don't have any important procurement business in Guanwai. I understand the importance of the empire. Resources give priority to the empire. Demand."

"French businessmen in the French Concession hold a large number of luxury goods. This is an important reason for my export to foreign customs. No matter how the war continues, the pursuit of high-end life will not stop. There is a need for this everywhere. "

"In addition, my silk and tea in Suzhou-Hangzhou two continents are the main export goods. Considering my own needs, I hope I can exchange a small portion of soybeans and cotton outside the customs, nothing else." Chen Mingxiang smiled. Said.

"Your way of thinking is right. Manchukuo is indeed an important material guarantee base for the empire. The most imported goods in the country are soybeans and soybean products, cotton and cotton yarn, coal, wood, millet, etc., especially soybeans, which ranks No. One's resources, in addition to being used to squeeze oil, soybean cakes can also be used to make fertilizer. As you know, the cultivated land in Japan is not very good."

"Of course, Central China is also an important property of the empire. If you use cotton yarn and cotton cloth to trade strategic materials for the imperial army, this matter must also be supported. I will explain your request to Yoshioka-kun and Takebe-kun, please They arrange it for you." Matsui Takuro said.

After the relationship outside the Guan was laid, there were basically no problems now. Chen Mingxiang returned home and began to make preparations.

But he has a bit of pain. Three high-level Japanese devils need at least US$300,000 to achieve the effect they want. Foreign exchange is a bit too much. The US$500,000 given by Li Shiqun is far from enough!

"What are you worrying about? Our family's dollars are full of two large safes. When we go to Pingjin, North China, we use Li Shiqun's money." Wang Zhen asked strangely.

According to her understanding, Chen Mingxiang doesn't care much about money. As long as he can spend it on a knife, he doesn't care about the amount of money. Where can he not pay?

"The reason why I feel distressed is that after the Japanese occupation of the concession and Hong Kong city, we lost the exchange channel for the US dollar, and we used a little less. This kind of US banknote is a hard currency, and it will keep its value no matter what, and I will not print the US Money, the ghost knows that there are still a few years before the victory in the War of Resistance against Japan, which is a bit troublesome."

"No, I have to find some more dollars, so I will use four channels to raise money, one is the public concession channel, tonight I will go to the former chief director Riddle, there must be some dollars in the hands of the British and American businessmen. I exchanged food, salt, peanut oil and daily necessities."

"The second one is to find the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Institute. Taiji Ota promised to subsidize me. He can give me one million U.S. dollars a month to the Public Concession Ministry of Industry. Why should I subsidize me 300,000 U.S. dollars?"

"The third is to find a way for Zhou Aihai. The China Reserve Bank still has several million dollars. In the name of a relationship, I asked him to trick me from the reserve fund for half a million dollars. The coupons are exchanged at a ratio of 25 to one, giving him one-fifth of the benefit."

"The last is the black market in the Shanghai stock market. We have no shortage of China Reserve Certificates. At the end of September, we can earn 50 million yuan. This is the loan that Chen Gongbo applied for me. You take out 10 million China Reserve Certificates and put them into the black market to exchange US dollars. It doesn't matter if it is higher," Chen Mingxiang said.

As the military ticket ceases to circulate, the Wang puppet government will bear all the military expenses of the Japanese army in China. Without such economic strength, it can only lead to one result. The money printing machine needs to print 24 hours a day. The currency value of the vouchers has fallen sharply, and the vouchers of China have become waste paper.

The purchasing power of the China Chuan Voucher is still reasonable. That is because the circulation is still within the controllable range. However, as the number of China Chuan Vouchers becomes more and more printed, it is estimated that it will take less than two years, at most. For one thousand yuan, if Chen Mingxiang gave a ten-year loan period, he would not have to pay it back.

But then again, this kind of thing is a big deal for Zhou Tuo, and the general environment is like this. As long as he can afford the benefits, everything is not a problem.Again, it is useless to put money in the Central Bank of China, and it is the most important thing to put in his own pocket.

Not everyone is eligible to use the foreign exchange reserves of the issued certificates. Chen Mingxiang happens to be one of them. With Zhou Naihai and Chen Gongbo joining hands for asylum, who in the Wang Puppet government dares to be silly?
