Wind spy

The first thing after the grain was put into the warehouse was, of course, the inspection. The staff of the Kodama agency and the manager of the Front Fleet Command, sitting in Chen Mingxiang’s car, quietly came to the warehouse like a thief, and carefully counted them. All the food, which is also required by Chen Mingxiang.

It is not difficult to check. The weight of a hemp bag is two hundred catties of rice. The piles are neatly piled up. One pile is 100 tons. You only need to count the piles. You can also open the hemp bag to check the rice quality, and finally sign Finish the transfer order.

Those who participated in the inspection happily took a big red envelope with one thousand dollars inside, and also brought ten boxes of cigars and two bottles of red wine.

"Chen Jun, this matter was done very beautifully, and I was praised by the Front Fleet Command and the Military Command. I was able to purchase 30,000 tons of rice with quality and quantity in just a few days. The daily maintenance of the fleet is of great significance."

"Admiral Yoshida Yoshida, Commander of the Fleet, highly appreciates your work and is ready to report to the military headquarters for your contributions and apply for a medal. I have prepared the payment for you and you can take it away now. "Kodama and Shifu said with a smile.

He is indeed satisfied with Chen Mingxiang. This person is not only close to the navy, but also has the ability and methods to do things quickly and well, and is a very good partner for cooperation.

The reason why he has become so prosperous in the navy in the past few years is that the Kodama agency has provided the navy with a large amount of strategic materials, and 80% of these materials are purchased by Chen Mingxiang from the Kuomintang Control Area. Of course, he is also there. Make a fortune in the transaction.

"Thank you for the opportunity provided to me by the head of the bureau. Please leave a million dollars. It is a little bit of my heart. Please accept it. This matter is a bit complicated to deal with, and there is really no way to give more. "

"There is one thing that I hope you will understand. The grain needs to be stored in the No. 2 warehouse of the Huatong Trading Company for a while before being shipped to the port navy warehouse."

"Now the wind outside is a bit tight, eyes are everywhere, I have to deal with all aspects of the relationship, when the food shortage problem is not so conspicuous, then go through the handover procedures." Chen Mingxiang said.

Such a big movement is not hidden from the Army’s ears. In order to make things complete, he has to make a deal with the Army’s intelligence agency. Kodama and Shifu are also well aware of this. Otherwise, Chen Mingxiang would only give him one million dollars. It's definitely not enough.

"I'm still very relieved when you do things. It doesn't matter. This batch of grain is stored grain. It will not be used when there is no shortage of grain. Moreover, the specific use has to be determined by the military command. Maybe it will be shipped back to China as a joint The rations of the fleet and headquarters." Kodama and Shifu said with a smile.

The 15 million U.S. dollar payment is placed in three large wooden boxes next to it. The volume is not small. For safety reasons, the Kodama agency will send a car to the Mara Villa.

This sum of money is not a big sum for the entire Japanese Navy, but it is not a small sum. It is equal to the cost of a U.S. Navy's Brooklyn-class artillery light cruiser. Why does the Kodama agency give it so readily?

In fact, this is not the military expenditure allocated by the Japanese government to the navy, but the return of the Japanese army after the Pacific War broke out and the occupation of the public concession is the wealth of the war.

After all, the Marine Corps occupies half of the concession area, and they have robbed a lot of money alone. In addition to the migration of foreign nationals into the concentration camps, a large number of them have been searched.

The Kodama agency is an important institution of the Japanese Navy in China, and holds a large amount of secret funds. This navy's spy chief has also made an incredible amount of money in the Shanghai stock market.

But he couldn't put the navy's funds in his own pockets, and spend it to get benefits. Since the Fleet Command had such a request, Kodama, Shifu and Kakusaburo Makita jointly operated it.

As the saying goes, it is easy to change from frugality to luxury, and it is difficult to change from luxury to frugality. This is a very simple truth.

The various Japanese agencies in Shanghai, including military and naval offices, intelligence agencies, and gendarmerie agencies, and the consulate general of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs undertake the dual mission of the government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

These institutions have been working in one place for a long time, and after enjoying a comfortable and prosperous life, it is quite difficult to go back to the old days.

This is often the case. The first time there is a second time, it is easy to get on and off the boat, and the mindset of closing and closing is constantly changing, and finally I can't stop it.

The first thing Chen Mingxiang did when he returned to Villa Mala was to invite speculators over for dinner. He happily cashed in the six million dollars in rice purchase price, which also gave him a good reputation for believing. The grain industry was established.

More than 20 grain merchants, one person gave a red envelope of 10,000 US dollars when they left, and he received another 260,000 US dollars. Wang Zhen was stunned to watch this series of operations. Some people are too easy to make money. But the American currency is known as the dollar.

"Chen Jun, the food you buy from speculators for the municipal government is very low. As far as I know, the price is very low. Why is there such an amazing dividend for each stone of more than 800 voucher?" Kinoshita Sakae was a little bit. Dumbfounded, although he is a major general of the military police, he has never seen so much foreign exchange.

The two suitcases in front of me are full of US dollars, and it is roughly estimated that they are no less than one million. I usually receive Chen Mingxiang's money and my experience has risen, and I know it is almost the same at a glance.

But the problem is that such a large sum of money is 4 million yen in Japanese yen. It will not be spent in a few lifetimes. It is actually only a dividend given by Chen Mingxiang to the military police headquarters. What is going on with this business?

"Your Excellency, I have to report one thing to you. The Front Fleet Command of the Imperial Navy, through the Marine Corps Command and the Kodama agency, privately entrusted me to purchase 30,000 tons of rice as emergency food reserves, all in US dollars. Come to settle for me."

"Originally I wanted to report in advance, but considering the complicated relationship between the army and the navy, you still don’t know, otherwise it will inevitably be embarrassing. Although I am a member of the gendarmerie, the navy is also part of the empire. To be too stiff is not in the interests of the empire."

"I took advantage of the outbreak of the food shortage in the Shanghai stock market, and I was responsible for negotiating with those speculators, and I used the resources they had at my disposal to deal with the commission, but the price quoted to the Navy was very high, about two thousand yuan in the savings of one stone. Rice."

"What I didn't expect was that under the pressure of the gendarmerie, these speculators really took out 30,000 tons of rice. Therefore, I decided to have the consulate general in Shanghai, the plum agency, the marines and the gendarmerie. , To share the huge profits brought by this grain together, our gendarmerie will naturally take the largest share." Chen Mingxiang said.
