"Brother, whether it is Jinling or the municipal government, many people complain that I am partial to you, but in terms of being a human being, they are too far behind you!"

"You have developed well this year, and your business is getting bigger and bigger. I am also happy for you, and the city government hasn't given you much business."

"The situation next year is much better than this year. I know that you are well informed. I guess you already know the contents of the Imperial Conference. Our Jinling government will take back some of the rights next year. At the same time, it will also end the occupation of our country's territory by the great powers. History will Remember our achievements!" Chen Gongbo said with a smile.

This is in the villa of the two sisters He Zhuoxian and He Bingxian. Chen Mingxiang gave Chen Gongbo wild ginseng and deer antler slices, and naturally the Hejia sisters were sable and lynx skins.

In order to deepen the personal relationship with Chen Gongbo and get more support from the city government in the coming year, Chen Mingxiang specially gave Chen Gongbo 100,000 U.S. dollars. This is not a small amount of money. When converted into China Reserve Certificates, the currency value is quite amazing.

With Chen Mingxiang's action, Chen Gongbo also felt that he had not misunderstood the wrong person. The city government did not help at all. He also took so much "heart" and felt ashamed.

"Your Excellency the Mayor is very right to cancel the concession and take back the administrative power. This is indeed a dazzling achievement in the annals of history, and also the most important stroke in life. I have to congratulate you and wait for the New Year's Day. Celebrate." Chen Mingxiang said.

Perhaps in the hearts of these big traitors, the formal withdrawal of the administrative power of the concession and the abolition of this shameful name is an achievement worth showing off.

Not only do they deceive the people, they are also deceiving themselves, just like self-hypnosis. What will happen to them? Do they really have no idea?

"Director Chen, the entire Shanghai stock market says that you have made a fortune this year, especially when you do business with the Kwantung Army. You can fill a fleet of goods at a time. It is estimated that many people want to talk to you during the New Year. Exclusive sales rights for coal and salt." He Zhuoxian said with a smile.

"You gave Mo Guokang the right to distribute coal, and she gave favors to several important officials of the city government, but the number was limited after all. Many people looked jealous, but Mo Guokang was very strong, and there were also people who benefited. Together, they are helpless."

"Our two sisters have you taken care of. We opened two salt shops in the French Concession. They have not yet opened. Some people have already talked about them and want to get the exclusive right." He Bingxian said.

Controlling the sale of materials is a business that sits and collects money, and it is tempted by individuals, especially those old and powerful municipal government officials and local wealthy businessmen. The coal industry has no way to intervene. Chen Mingxiang gave Mo Guo Kang's wholesale power is just blocking the mouths of these people.

However, the monopoly of salt has caused these people to covet it. The good things under the world cannot be taken by Chen Mingxiang alone. If you eat meat, you have to divide soup for everyone. Don’t you know the truth that eating alone is not fat?

The two sisters are speaking to Chen Gongbo. Chen Mingxiang gave them a way to make money. They also took a lot of pressure. When it is critical, you have to support Chen Mingxiang!

"These rumors are not groundless. I have been relatively smooth in business this year. The overwhelmed textile mills have begun to withdraw funds one after another. In addition to trading with Jiangtong District, they have also cooperated with the Kwantung Army Command. , To be honest, it does make a lot of money."

"But the question is, it is true that Huatong Trading Company is mine, but I can actually get 30% of the profits actually generated. What is the nature of smuggling with the Military Manpower Bureau of Jiangtong District? It is the military police headquarters and the garrison headquarters, as well as the Mei Department and the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Institute. The water inside is deep!"

"It's not easy to get the goods. All the gods have to take care of them, and they have to withstand the pressure from the Japanese chaebols, otherwise there will be problems. I make more money and spend more, and I bear this false name."

"The New Year’s Eve is about to come, so many people are watching me. Just the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai and the major offices, without a million dollars in money and things, are not considered as passing the customs. There are also foreign affairs, North China What about the region, do you have to mean it?" Chen Mingxiang said with a wry smile.

One million U.S. dollars is nearly 30 million in savings certificates, the black market is the price, from Chen Mingxiang's mouth, several people in the field were shocked and dumbfounded.

It's just that there are so many expenses during the New Year. What about daily maintenance?

Chen Mingxiang doesn't go empty-handed every time he goes out. He always needs to bring something to the households. Not to mention the nourishment and fur this time. Some time ago, Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs were shipped to the Shanghai stock market.

A large amount of tea and cigarettes are provided to the Military Police Headquarters for free. Senior officials of the various agencies in Shanghai and the Japanese Navy and Army Headquarters in Shanghai are also free to eat and drink. How much is this?

"Brother, it's really not easy for you to make some money! But don't worry, as long as I'm here, these people in the Shanghai stock market won't be able to turn the sky!" Chen Gongbo felt that Chen Mingxiang had refreshed his understanding of the world, which was too crazy. Up.

"I’m not an outsider. If I have something to say, I’ll be more blunt. You can eat in the Jinling government and the Shanghai stock market. It depends on the support of the mayor. With the help of coal, your reputation in the Shanghai stock market is now straight. Ascend, when the concession is reclaimed next year, it will be a new peak. It can be said that all kinds of auras are integrated. The more this is, the more we will be icing on the cake."

"But trouble will come soon. Since the Shanghai stock market was occupied by the Japanese army, the situation has been worsening every day, especially in terms of food. There are people who starve to death every day, and the coffin shop is not enough."

"The spring, summer, and autumn seasons can still last. In winter, those who are homeless without a piece of cotton-padded clothes, and have no food to eat, simply cannot sustain themselves, leading to starvation everywhere. This is bound to affect the image of the city government. , Public opinion is very unfavorable to us, I think we must take precautions!" Chen Mingxiang said.

"You are right. Food has always been a major issue that plagues the municipal government. Do you have any specific ideas? You can discuss it." Chen Gongbo couldn't help nodding when he heard this sentence.

“The Municipal Government’s Disaster Relief Affairs Committee was established last year to gather some of the victims in the abandoned factory area in Zhabei. It is now a shanty town. I think this work will become normal and will continue this year.”

"As long as we do, the reporter will have the subject matter to write about. As for what we can achieve, it is also within our means. In terms of food relief, I will find a way. The city government will allocate a little financial subsidy." Chen Mingxiang said.

This is the main purpose of Chen Mingxiang's approach to Chen Gongbo. In the name of restraining the hearts of the people, he will help the victims in an upright manner. He wants to use this to do something for the people, and also to gain a good reputation for himself by the way. The people's eyes are not blind. , After a long time, naturally know what is going on.

Naturally, the Japanese side will not stop this kind of thing. On the contrary, it still has to give some support, because the high level has to implement new policies and the trend has changed.

Besides, this is not a long-term behavior. It is the municipal government's use of the victims to gain political success and reputation. Its impact is negligible. As long as the interests of the Japanese are not affected, everything can be pretended not to be seen.
