The plane landed at Hongqiao Airport in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Chen Mingxiang ended his work on the outside of Guanwai and Jincheng. This time it can be said that he returned with a full load. The harvest was amazing.

"This time to perform the mission outside the pass, Chen Jun has worked hard. You and I will go to the headquarters of the 13th Army and give a brief report to Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru." Kinoshita said with a smile.

This time he personally picked up the plane at the airport, with the purpose of bringing Chen Mingxiang to the headquarters of the 13th Army to report on the material exchange agreement between the Huatong Trading Company and the Kwantung Army Headquarters. Tomorrow, he had to rush to the dispatched army commander in Jinling. Department, report to the six generals of Hata Toshiba in person.

"Your Excellency General Trouble came in person, and his subordinates are not ashamed of it. Fortunately, this time I have gained a little bit and will not disappoint Your Excellency General's trust." Chen Mingxiang said respectfully.

"Oh, it's not easy to be able to say the words "a little gain" from your mouth. Go, go to the car and talk to me." Kinoshita Sakae's eyes lit up.

Chen Mingxiang has always been low-key and humble, and never commented on his own achievements. He said that, it is definitely not a slight gain, but a fruitful one.

It is necessary to clarify the concept that the dividends of Huatong Trading Company will benefit the entire gendarmerie headquarters in Shanghai, while the private companies established by Chen Mingxiang, such as the coal company and the salt company, only pay dividends to the senior officials of the gendarmerie headquarters.

The famous Japanese one-eyed Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada met with Chen Mingxiang in the commander’s office and carefully read the material exchange agreement signed by the Huatong Trading Company and the Kwantung Army Command.

The original is at the company's headquarters. This is the one used by the Shanghai Military Police Command for filing. Shigeru Sawada deliberately asked about some of the details, while Chen Mingxiang answered in detail.

"Chen Jun's grasp of the fire conditions is very precise, and I also appreciate it very much. First of all, we must ensure that the supply of our Thirteenth Army will not decrease too much, and then we can exchange with the Kwantung Army."

"In fact, this cooperation is also a good thing. At least you can get a large amount of cotton yarn as capital. Just follow this agreement. I will greet the following divisions and facilitate your material transportation." Sawada said.

Chen Mingxiang is a smart man. He knows that he is based in Central China, so he first guaranteed the supplies of the Thirteenth Army, indicating that he was not blinded by the temptation of interests.

"Kun Zetian, because the war was too expensive, the empire's logistics supply was tight. Whether it was the military or merchants, most of the ships were recruited, and the daily consumption of the Shanghai stock market was affected, including our expatriates. "

"I hope that the headquarters can send a letter to the Central China Liaison Department of Xingya Institute, requesting the collection of coal and salt in North China to make up for this defect and ensure that normal life is not disturbed." Kinoshita Sakae said.

In terms of tension, the difficulties in the supply of materials in the Japanese-occupied areas are certainly not so obvious. The rationing system is the victims of the Shanghai stock market, and the impact on the Japanese nationals is small.

Japanese businessmen in the Shanghai stock market must first protect the needs of their own nationals. This is a rigid condition. The Consulate General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Shanghai is watching!

However, it is also true that salt and coal are tight. The key lies in the severe shortage of ships during this period. The military ships are not enough because they opened up the battlefields in Southeast Asia. The merchants’ civilian ships were recruited by the military and the government to transport urgently needed food supplies and stocks. It's time for emergency.

The headquarters of the Thirteenth Army is the supreme emperor of the entire Shanghai stock market and is responsible for responding to these situations. Kinoshita Sakae's request is also reasonable, but his purpose is to add a layer of insurance to Chen Mingxiang's business.

"Yes, I will immediately send a written request to the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Institute in the name of the headquarters, and you will directly bring them to General Taiji Ota. These materials are mainly produced in North China, but our relationship is somewhat unclear for unknown reasons. It is more convenient to coordinate internally by Xingya Institute." Said Shigeru Sawada.

He doesn't care about this little matter. As for whether the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Institute wants Chen Mingxiang to operate it, it is not within his scope of concern.

"Your Excellency, I know that you are of noble character and dare not use vulgar things to offend. This is the wild ginseng I brought back from the Guanwai area. It is very precious for a long time and may not be available with money. It is a little heart. "Chen Mingxiang took out a wooden box from the bag.

The wild ginseng is indeed real. This is the semicolon of the tea shop in Bingcheng. I got a few by chance, but the age is not long. It is about 20 to 30 years. The weight is not very heavy, if it is more than half a catty. Chen Mingxiang also reluctant to give away the century-old mountain ginseng, but bragging is inevitable.

"Thank you Chen Jun's love, I accepted it. The wild ginseng outside the pass has long been heard. This is a life-saving treasure. To me, it is more precious than those gold and silver jewelry." Very satisfied.

His health is not very good, and his eyes are getting worse. It is really not uncommon to give him US dollars and gold bars. Chen Mingxiang's gift is considered to be what he likes and is delivered.

As a result, the official letter from the 13th Army Command to the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Institute became a designated Shanghai Gendarmerie Command to be responsible for the settlement of daily supplies, which created opportunities for Chen Mingxiang in disguise, and was a task accepted by the Gendarmerie Command. It must be handled by Chen Mingxiang.

When I got home, it was already afternoon. Wang Zhen quickly made tea for Chen Mingxiang when he smelled alcohol on his body. Girls are very likely to have a strong sense of dependence on men they like, even though she is also a female agent carefully trained by the Military Regiment Bureau. , But Chen Mingxiang was still a little uncomfortable these days when she left.

"There is nothing important here in the Shanghai stock market, right?" Chen Mingxiang asked, holding a tea cup.

"Old Zheng came to you once. Hearing that you hadn't come back, he left in a hurry. Under my questioning, he had to tell me that he was an underground party spouse intelligence agent who was arrested by the military police. He is currently being tortured in the prison of the military police headquarters." Wang Zhen said.

"Now I can't do anything, unless I can withstand the torture of the military police and be transferred to the prison in the Shanghai Experimental Zone of the Secret Service Headquarters. I can do something to release people in a fair manner. The food is so tight and there are so many prisoners in the prison. It’s a waste of resources."

“I, Taiji Ota, and Katsuo Okaki ate dinner at noon today. Since the coal quota of the North China Liaison Department is not used to make briquettes, the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Institute asked me to allocate 20,000 tons of coal from my share of coal for Shanghai. For this purpose, the municipal power coal will subsidize 20 U.S. dollars per ton, which is 400,000 U.S. dollars."

"In view of the requirements of the Ministry of Industry and Administration of the Public Settlement, I have to produce 300,000 tons of briquettes per month, equivalent to 15,000 tons, and a subsidy of 10 US dollars per ton, that is 150,000 US dollars. Tomorrow I will get the payment voucher. The gold bank took the money out." Chen Mingxiang said.
