Chapter 34: Windfall
"This Chen Mingxiang is still very measured in doing things, he knows what money can be taken and what money cannot be taken, although his company is a behind-the-scenes operation of the special high class, it is understandable to take care of his own people, presumably the special high school will get the money, and he will not say anything else." Li Shiqun said with a slight smile.
After drinking, Zhang Jinlu returned to the secret service headquarters and told Li Shiqun about the conversation at the banquet selectively, which was also a test for Chen Mingxiang.
The Southeast Trading Company was set up by Li Shiqun under the guise of earning funds for the secret service headquarters, and the Japanese also gave them a lot of authority, and the embargoed materials could be reported to the Mei organ in advance, and then transported to the Guotong region for profit.
But Li Shiqun couldn't withstand Ye Jiqing's pressure, and the profits obtained, except for thirty percent of the profits allocated to the secret service headquarters, the rest had to go into his account, and the gold dollar was more affordable than the director's position.
Since this company can't benefit the subordinates of the secret service headquarters, in order to eliminate everyone's complaints, the best way is Chen Mingxiang's Huatong Trading Company.
What Li Shiqun is most satisfied with is that Chen Mingxiang insists on the unwavering share of the Japanese, insists on the unshakable share given to him, and the rest does not matter.
"Chen Mingxiang don't look young, but he is very old-fashioned in doing things, he knows the way of survival with equal interests, and he can't live long if he eats alone, but unfortunately, Wu Sibao doesn't have such awareness, the guard team earns hundreds of thousands of dollars a month, but he refuses to take it out to distribute dividends to his subordinates, he not only eats meat, but even drinks the soup dry, and only a few bones are left." Zhang Jinlu said.
"Although Sibao is a little worse than a person, he is also a little too greedy, after all, he followed me from birth to death, and made a lot of contributions to our secret service headquarters, so don't say it in the future, I will rely on him to charge into battle in the future, and I can't chill people's hearts." Li Shiqun shook his head and said.
This is the way of thinking of the superiors, as long as they can work hard for themselves, other shortcomings can be ignored, not to mention that it is a good thing to have shortcomings, such people are easy to control, and it is not a big problem to like money and women, aren't men like this?
"Chen Sang, you have done a very good job in this matter, although those spies in the secret service headquarters are insatiable, but the current situation in Shanghai is complicated, the military commander and the central commander are against us everywhere, and they are needed to clear the obstacles for the imperial army, and a small amount of smuggling can be forgiven." Gangmura Shaozo said.
Human greed is innate, and the spies want to use Huatong Trading Company to smuggle, which is expected by the special high school, so it's not a strange thing!
Chen Mingxiang insists on the unwavering division of the extra-high class, which is the most gratifying thing for Gangcun Shaozuo, who can do things and be a man, who doesn't like such subordinates?
"Your Excellency General, are the people in the Yanjing Mansion crazy enough to inform us that starting from February next year, they will reduce the investment of the intelligence agency of the Secret Service Headquarters!"
"Now is the time for the headquarters of the secret service to expand in a big way, and there is no money, so how can they deal with the military and the central command, and how to deal with the underground party? Isn't this nonsense? Qingqi said angrily.
"It's not because our Mei agency secretly supports the secret service headquarters, and wants to set up a Southeast Trading Company to exchange materials to the national control area for profit, but this matter is known to the Yanjing Mansion."
"They didn't dare to cut the cost of the Mei Agency, but they gave a reason, since the Secret Service Headquarters has the channels and ability to earn expenses, it will reduce some of the investment, and the saved funds can do more for the empire." Kagezo is also helpless about this.
The exchange of materials with Chiang Tong is certainly not oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, but valuable things such as cotton yarn, cotton, Western medicine, and auto parts, in exchange for the tung oil, timber and other military materials that the Japanese side needs, in other words, it is an act of financing the enemy.
Although the intelligence department has the power to make small changes, the nature of the matter is very serious, and being caught by the tail of the Shioi Mansion will also give the Mei agency a headache.
"But this matter is still in the preparation stage, it has not been implemented, the secret service headquarters has not earned a penny, the Yanjing Mansion has stabbed too hard, and it has been reduced by three percent at one time, which is hindering the work of the intelligence agency and interfering with the affairs of the Mei agency, we should immediately respond to the military department." In the sunny weather, Sa's eyes were anxious.
"It's useless, the Yanjing Mansion has the power to approve intelligence funds, this is also to better supervise the operation of the intelligence department, and the military department also supports this matter, and there will be no second result in our appeal."
"The best way is to set up the Southeast Trading Company as soon as possible, and exchange materials for the Jiangtong District in advance, so that it can be a buffer and will not disrupt the order, and when Mr. Wang's government is established next year, the Yanjing Mansion will definitely reduce the investment in funds, which cannot be changed." Kagesa said.
The power of the intelligence agencies is very great, but it is not a cover-up, and the Shioi Mansion under the leadership of Shioi, deputy consul general of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, can just control the expenses of all intelligence agencies in Shanghai.
Of course, the Mei organ is an exception, and this is the highest organ for manipulating Wang's puppet government, which is of a special nature and has a direct bearing on Japan's layout of China.
Although the Consulate General belongs to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Japan is now under the control of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and even the Prime Minister of the Cabinet is a soldier.
Therefore, Ying Zuocai said that appeals are useless, that the military department will not let go of all the activities of the Mei organs, that they must be carried out under supervision, and that restrictions are inevitable.
Since the Yanjing Mansion has enough reasons, the bigwigs of the military department will only agree, isn't it that the expenses of the intelligence agency of the puppet government have been cut, and they are not qualified to rise to the level of the military department.
No one thought that the sanctions imposed by the Shioi Mansion against the secret service headquarters were actually tossed out because of a conversation, and the key is that the Marine Corps Intelligence Department added fuel to the fire and magnified the small things infinitely.
"Chen Sang, your company should speed up its operation, expand the category and scale of its operation, and achieve trade docking with Jiangtong District as soon as possible. Although you are bold enough to let it go, the Gendarmerie Headquarters and the Special High School are your strongest backing. Gangcun Shaozuo said to Chen Mingxiang.
"Section Chief, what's going on?" Chen Mingxiang asked in surprise.
"This time the secret service headquarters is in trouble, for the sake of their establishment of the Southeast Trading Company and the exchange of materials with the Jiang Tong District, the Yanjing Mansion, which is responsible for approving and issuing expenses, has cut their activity funds by 30%, that is, 60,000 legal currency, which has seriously interfered with the development of the work."
"In order to prevent the operation of the secret service headquarters from being disturbed in the future, Qing Xia Zhongzuo secretly instructed me that in addition to the Southeast Trading Company, the Special High School can use your company to export more materials and help the special agent headquarters solve some of the funds."
"When exchanging, we should try to use Japanese civilian materials as much as possible, open up smuggling channels to the Chiang Tong area, and those sensitive industrial and military materials should not be used for profit." Gangmura Shaozo said.
