Chapter 708: Links of Interests
"Minister, today Director Chen was inaugurated as the director of the Police Department of the Ministry of the Interior, and the scene of the inauguration ceremony caused a sensation in Jinling City. Ma Xiaotian called and said.
As the head of the Jinling District of the secret service headquarters, he has the task of monitoring Zhou Gaohai's movements, and the hatred between Li Shiqun and Zhou Gaohai has now reached the level of putting each other to death.
"Whether it is the Mansion faction or the non-Mansion faction, it is just a waste of effort to win over Director Chen, he is a person from the Military Police Headquarters in Shanghai, it is possible to be false and wrong, but he will not really join these forces, and I don't want to think about it, can their arms be twisted through the thighs of the Japanese?"
"This so-called police secretary is just a fictitious position, and Director Chen will not go to work in the Ministry of the Interior, how can such a position be placed in his eyes? Remember, in the future, you don't have to pay too much attention to anything that involves him, because it really stimulates him, and even I can't speak. Li Shiqun said.
Li Shiqun naturally knew why Chen Mingxiang became the chief of police, and it was nothing more than serving as the director of the Special Liaison Office of the Police Department of the Ministry of the Interior, and the Japanese gave him a cover identity to facilitate Chen Mingxiang's activities in areas outside the Guan.
But he is not at all interested in the so-called special liaison office, which is a good idea, but it is very difficult to implement, and he still has a mess of things to do, who is impatient to check suspicious persons for intelligence agencies outside the border?
The most important thing is that if a reasonable reward standard is not formulated, the relationship between inside and outside the customs will be rotten into a piece of, and if you don't give people exciting benefits, who wants to do this?
Anyway, the attitude of the secret service headquarters to this work is that if you can fool around, you can fool it, and if you have to hit the muzzle of the gun, there is no way, otherwise, it will be over after a rough walk, and you will supervise it, and the people outside know a bullshit!
"My brother is on the rise this time, and he has directly stepped into the position of the chief of police, becoming the supreme leader of the police system of the Jinling government, and he is also the top military adviser of the military advisory group, Lieutenant General Matsui personally nominated, with this foundation, you can think about the position of the Minister of the Interior after waiting for a year and a half."
"Li Shiqun asked you to dredge up the relationship with the Mei agency for him, but he underestimated your ability, and actually got closer to Lieutenant General Matsui, although I know that there is a reason in this appointment, but there is a price to do everything, and the key is to pay the price to get the reward." Zhou Gaohai said with a red wine glass.
Regarding Chen Mingxiang's ability to pull connections through the back door, he found that he still underestimated too much, this position is by no means something that can be bought with money, in fact, to this level of special officer, every appointment of the Japanese military advisory group is very cautious.
"I don't have much luxury for my position and power, the environment of intrigue and deceit is too tiring, and it is already beyond my imagination to be the chief of police, as for the Minister of the Interior, I dare not have such high expectations, I don't have such qualifications, besides, the Shanghai market can't let go." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
Ministers and ministers are also different, Zhou Gaohai is the Minister of Finance, this is the Minister of Real Power, and the gold content is very high, Ding Mocun is the Minister of Transportation, and he has been sitting on the cold bench, and Li Shiqun is also the Minister of the Ministry of Survey and Statistics, so he can only close the door and play by himself.
Ministers with real power, it is not Chen Mingxiang's turn to worry about them, they are all big traitors on the blacklist, ministers without power, and they are not as good as the chief of police.
"Qualifications? Qualifications are not a condition, Li Shiqun was just a small spy of the Central Bureau of Statistics back then, and now he is a core member of many positions, and he is also the provincial chairman and the secretary general of the Qingxiang Committee, or the minister of the Investigation and Statistics Department and the director of the secret service headquarters, does he have qualifications, is he qualified? ”
"Forget it, don't mention this person, it's a bad mood to say the name, what did you come to Jinling to find me this time, Chen Gongbo applied for a fund of 100 million China Reserve Bonds for you, which was used to stabilize the coal price in Shanghai." Zhou Gaohai also holds a grudge against Li Shiqun.
"Minister, there is no need to hide some words from you two, but this is a high secret of the Japanese army, please don't spread it, otherwise there will be big trouble."
"In the future, the Kwantung Army Command will import scarce materials from Central China, such as cotton cloth, tung oil, rosin, dyes, cane sugar, paper, woolen wool and other materials, and export coal, rice, soybeans, edible oil, cotton yarn and other materials to Central China."
"With the secret approval of the commander-in-chief of the Dispatch Army, General Shunroku Hatata, and the commander of the 13th Army, Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada, the exchange will be secretly operated by me, which is a great risk, but it is also a very important business opportunity, and the trade volume involved is conservatively estimated to reach hundreds of millions of Chinese reserve bonds per month."
"In terms of net profit, at least 30 percent, that is, about 30 million China Reserve Bonds, excluding the share on both sides, I can get 10 million China Reserve Bonds. The good thing is that it's a long-term deal, and as long as the situation doesn't change much, the trade doesn't stop. ”
"I plan to give the minister two components, in exchange for your support for me a foreign exchange and gold, I need to go outside the customs to make some relations, now, only the dollar and gold are hard currency, without this kind of investment, can not pry open this market." Chen Mingxiang said.
Ding Mocun's eyes widened quickly, the monthly dividend of two million central reserve bonds is 24 million central reserve bonds a year, which is not a small amount for Zhou Gaohai, and it is a long-term dividend, Chen Mingxiang is going to smash Zhou Gaohai with a heavy hand!
"My brother's conditions are indeed very strong, but I am a little puzzled, why didn't the Kwantung Army Headquarters find Japanese businessmen to operate such an important material exchange?" Zhou Qihai asked with a smile.
This question was purely out of curiosity, because he knew that Chen Mingxiang would not deceive him in such a major matter, and he mainly wanted to find out why Chen Mingxiang was so lucky, and opened up a huge source of wealth outside the Guan, directly cooperating with the Kwantung Army Headquarters.
"The minister really has a torch in his eyes, and he saw the core of the problem at once, so let me tell you, I just formed a fleet some time ago, which was formed with the support of the Japanese Navy's Huaxia Fleet Command, with a tonnage of about 100,000 tons."
"After the outbreak of the Pacific War, the military controlled most of the ships, and the Japanese merchants did not have many freighters, and they were busy transporting rice, flour, coal, soybeans, soybean cakes, and cotton to the Japanese mainland, and did not have such a transportation capacity."
"The military department and the chaebol have never dealt with each other, it is both a cooperative relationship and a relationship of mutual use, the conflict of interests between the Kwantung Army and the Manchurian Railway is the best example, the military does not want to rely too much on the chaebol, after all, it also controls a number of military enterprises, there is no need to find the chaebol for everything." Chen Mingxiang said.
