After the establishment of the Wang Puppet Government Chamber of Commerce, the first administrative order to implement material control power was to require major textile factories, trading houses and textile shops in Shanghai to register their respective cotton cloth and cotton yarn stocks.

However, this order was met with silence from various forces. Not only the Japanese businessmen were too lazy to deal with it, but even the Chinese businessmen in the Shanghai stock market were also watching the changes. Four days have passed since the required registration agency, the Gauze Exchange, and there were few people. Register.

"Everyone knows that I, the supervisor and deputy secretary-general of the Chamber of Commerce for Reunification, are only responsible for contacting the municipal government and the Japanese military agencies in Shanghai, and I am only a part-time job for delivering information. It is not convenient for you to speak on the work of the Chamber of Commerce. The suggestion needs to be conveyed by me, which is easy to say." Chen Mingxiang said.

In view of the unsatisfactory promotion of the registration of cotton and cotton yarns, the senior management of the Chamber of Commerce and Unification held a meeting on the 20th. Chen Mingxiang didn't want to attend. But Tang Shoumin, the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and Unification, called and invited him personally. Refute this face.

Only after arriving at the meeting did I know that these Chamber of Commerce leaders are really insidious, and they want him to come forward to participate in this work, win the support of the Japanese and the city government for the Chamber of Commerce, and put pressure on the business people. Then he can I didn't agree.

"Brother, this is the first job of our Chamber of Commerce to open the door, and it ended up in a deadlock. The merchants were squeezed into the air, unable to go up and down, and it would be extremely uncomfortable. If the stalemate continues, our Chamber of Commerce will There is no WeChat anymore, and future work will be even more difficult."

"We all know that my brother, you have a profound strength and background, whether you are in the municipal government or the Japanese agencies in Shanghai, you have a great influence. As long as my brother is willing to accept this important task, we will find ways to win you cotton resources. This side is unimpeded," Lin Kanghou said.

The chairman and the chairman of the supervisory committee are the main leaders of the Chamber of Commerce and Unification, but if they talk to Chen Mingxiang directly, once they are rejected, there is no room for change. Therefore, the secretary-general, Lin Kanghou, can only come to the interview first.

On the surface, it sounds like this condition is very rich, and it also caught Chen Mingxiang's key point. His three textile factories in Suzhou need a lot of cotton to start production.Unfortunately, although Chen Mingxiang is young, he is too clear about the doorway inside, and there is no door to fool him!

Cotton cloth and cotton yarn are important war resources for the Japanese army. Not counting the cotton and cotton yarn shipped back to China, just the hundreds of thousands of troops in the pass, how much cotton does it need a year?

Therefore, Japanese merchants have very strict control over cotton channels, and the Chamber of Commerce will not be able to intervene at all. The advice given is similar to farting. Is it a joke to use such conditions as a reward?

Besides, Chen Mingxiang is currently cutting his own industries, and two textile mills have to be closed. Even if they are given cotton resources, they can’t ask for them. Isn’t that not enough?

More importantly, these old foxes have bad intentions. If anyone undertakes this task, they have to tear their skins with the merchants of the entire cotton textile industry chain. The water is too deep, or they will drown. You don’t want to offend people. , Do I want to offend people?

The task of a strategic agent is not to offend people, but to find ways to expand the relationship. Who doesn't know that the Wang and puppet government colluded with officials and businessmen to form a tangled chain of interests. Such errands may not be connected, and it is too late to hide!

"Sorry, this job requires a lot of energy and long negotiations. I am really lacking in skills. Don't forget, I am not only the Chief of Police, but also seven or eight part-time jobs to deal with. If you have any suggestions, I can convey them, and I won’t need to say anything else.

"Even if I agree, the Japanese and the city government will not agree. It will delay the processing of many important matters. If you don't believe me, you can talk to the two sides. They really agree with me to take over. I will definitely be responsible. "Chen Mingxiang said lightly.

Having said that, there is no need for the two sides to talk anymore. These people also know that Chen Mingxiang is not that easy to fool. As long as they leave this door, 100% will greet the relevant parties, and the city government and the Japanese garrison can agree to the Chamber of Commerce. The request is hell.

Chen Mingxiang started as a smuggling business, and he can be mixed to the point where he is today. It is not measured by age. Since people are not hooked, they can only be regarded as not mentioned. They have annoyed Chen Mingxiang, and their life is not easy. This kid is known as Hands and eyes open to the sky.

On the same day of March 20, the Wang Puppet government in Jinling also ushered in a new supreme military adviser, Lieutenant General Shibyama Kenshiro officially took office, and Wang Jingwei also held a grand welcome ceremony for this.

But unlike Lieutenant General Matsui, this ceremony is completely comparable to Hideki Tojo's visit. Even Chen Gongbo rushed to Jinling from the Shanghai Stock Exchange to participate, which shows that the importance of Shibayama Kenshiro is high.

"Kenshiro Shibayama was instructed by the cabinet and the military to come to implement the new strategy of the empire. That's why Chairman Wang gave such a high courtesy. This is how things are, as long as it is good for you, is it not easy to behave? "Shigeru Goshima said with a sneer.

When Chen Mingxiang saw this guy’s face, he knew that Xiong Jiandong’s words were correct. Shigeru Goshima must have received the news of being transferred. He directly called Shibayama Kenshiro by name, not even the two generals. This explains the problem. .

In the Japanese army gendarmerie system, the gendarmerie stationed in Shanghai is the fattest position, used to a luxurious life and high consumption, as well as a steady stream of wealth. Suddenly losing all this, he must be reluctant to bear it, and he is in a bad mood for this. .

"Chen Jun, this is the authorization document signed by the six generals of the dispatched army commander Jun Hata. It has the signatures of Lieutenant General Matsui Takuro, Commander of the Thirteenth Army, Lieutenant General Shimomura, Commander of the Thirteenth Army, and the Consul General in Shanghai Yujo Horiuchi and I. And there are also the signatures of the first officer of the Fleet Command Furukawamine and the Marine Corps Commander Lieutenant General Kakusaburo Makita."

"This top-secret document is backed up by every signatory. Don’t be afraid of losing it. This is your own copy. If anyone troubles with this matter in the future, just show it to him. If you want to find fault, you should ask for these signatures. The people who do not agree." Kinoshita Eiichi said with a somewhat ugly expression.

What Chen Mingxiang didn't expect was that when he came back from outside the customs this time, when he asked for a letter of authorization, Kinoshita Eiichi agreed very happily, and it was processed in just a few days.

"Thank you very much for the help of your Excellency General. With this document, I am not worried that someone will use the smuggling channels of Huatong Trading Company to make a fuss!"

"But why did I hear the news that Goto-kun is going to be transferred back to the headquarters of the Tokyo Gendarmerie Headquarters, and Okamura is going back to the super high school. Is that true?" Chen Mingxiang asked.
