Because of the war, the transportation between Shancheng and Shanghai was very inconvenient, and it took Chen Mingxiang half a month to get the personnel information of the military commander in Shanghai and Shanghai from the contact point.

Chen Mingxiang knew at a glance that it was the handwriting of his teacher Pan Qiwu, and the photos were secretly noted, so that he knew that those were the key points, in other words, he gave him all the family resources in Shanghai City.

The local stations of the military command are basically divided into four major sections: the intelligence section, the action team, the general affairs section, and the telecommunications section, as well as the personnel section and the confidential section.

All the information of officers at the rank of major and above is available, and only some of the officers are at the rank of captain, and there are some excellent personnel in intelligence and operations, as well as civilian personnel in key departments.

The intelligence section in the Shanghai urban area is divided into three groups, and the action team has three brigades, and these members of the military command do not meet each other in normal times, and are responsible for contact through the underground organs in the Shanghai urban area.

The telecommunications section, the general affairs section, and the personnel section of the organs are key departments, and the people in them are very familiar with most of the members, and in case of an accident, it will be a fatal blow to the urban area of Shanghai.

Chen Mingxiang read it carefully three times, kept these people firmly in his heart, closed his eyes and combed through the information one by one, checked that there were no mistakes, and then burned all these materials.

"This is my old house, your family can live here with confidence, the telephone is also installed, and you can call my office at any time if you have something." Chen Mingxiang said.

He got in the car and sent Li Zhendong's family to his uncle's house on Yuyuan Road, and now he lives in a big mansion near Jing'an Temple, where he is idle.

Good people do it to the end, send the Buddha to the west, have already helped the family, just be thorough, everything else is easy to say, it is not easy to find a place to live in this Shanghai market, it is overcrowded!

"Engong, you are the reborn parents of our family, so that we can be well fed and warm, not to mention, even the house has been considered, no matter what you want me to do in the future, I Li Zhendong will definitely have nothing to say!" Li Zhendong, who had just been discharged from the hospital, was crying profusely.

"I'm not afraid that there will be nothing for you to do, before that, you have to heal your injuries first, how can you work on one leg?" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

"Engong, if you don't dislike it, I can do what I can." Xue Lin said.

"I know you went to school, but the background of Huatong Trading Company is very complicated, so let's find an old accountant who is proficient in this way to manage accounts, and I am going to open two large pharmacies and clinics in Shanghai, and let you be in charge of accounting when the time comes." Chen Mingxiang thought for a while and said.

This was a deliberate decision, not only for the sake of the high profit of the medicine, but also for the Japanese and traitorous governments to blockade the medicine too strictly, and even more so on the hospital, in case the colleagues of the military commander were injured, it would be difficult to find a safe place for ambulance, and this matter was easy for him.

"Mingxiang, why do even the Japanese place orders, or rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, chicken, duck and fish, vegetables and fruits and daily necessities, these things are easy to buy in the market, why buy them from us?" Zhou Haiwen looked at the order of a Japanese trading company and was a little dumbfounded.

"You don't care about this, it's the Japanese Army and Navy that have a conflict, the Marine Corps is caught in the middle and is not a person inside and out, and the procurement is swept away by the military police headquarters, and the fixed merchants dare not supply to them, so they come up with such a replacement form."

"You find two acquaintances to be responsible for this matter, you must operate it secretly, and the procurement fee is taken directly from the company, but it is not recorded in the account, and another set of accounts is made."

"In addition, the Marine Corps estimates that it will only give us the cost price, don't buy expensive when purchasing, and we will lose money at that time. Fortunately, they have a large volume, and they are a fixed source of customers, which is somewhat profitable. Chen Mingxiang said helplessly.

For intelligence reasons, it is necessary to have a good relationship with the Marine Corps, but he is not willing to do a money-losing business, and he feels a headache when he thinks about it.

"Often floating in the rivers and lakes, how can you not be knifed, you don't have to feel too distressed, as long as you don't lose money, less money is also earned. By the way, I have found two shops that are very suitable for opening pharmacies, one is near the Jing'an Temple where you live, and the other is in the concession, but the source of the medicine is a troublesome matter. Zhou Haiwen said.

This is Chen Mingxiang's own industry, and Zhou Haiwen also put a lot of thought into it, and the Zhou family used Huatong Trading Company to sell a large number of hardware tools and luxury goods to the Guotong District, making a lot of money.

"You first help find someone to decorate, make a medicine cabinet, advertise in the newspaper to recruit Chinese medicine, Western medicine and nurses, I am going to open a pharmacy in Jing'an Temple, I am going to open a clinic in the concession, and the two sides take care of each other, as for the medicine matter, I will deal with it."

"There is no problem with traditional Chinese medicine, it is not a contraband, but the most valuable Western medicine is not very easy to do, the Japanese don't have to think about it, their medicine is still nervous!"

"There are two ways, one is to import raw materials and machinery and we make them ourselves, and the other is to buy finished products directly, and I will contact a foreign company in the afternoon." Chen Mingxiang said.

After more than three months of incubation at the beginning, Chen Mingxiang has completely passed the adaptation period and began to calm down and prepare for the future.

The task of the Military Command Bureau is to persist in fighting in Shanghai for a long time, and perhaps it will not end until the day of victory in the war.

"Mr. Frederick, I am Chen Mingxiang, the manager of Huatong Trading Company, and I am here to discuss two business with your company." Chen Mingxiang shook hands with the tall Frederick and said.

"Welcome Mr. Chen to come to negotiate business, our company can provide a variety of high-quality goods, dyes, inks, machines, cars and accessories, I don't know what you need?" Frederick said.

The Germans are really old-fashioned, they don't even say a few polite words, they go straight to the point.

In fact, Chen Mingxiang really misunderstood Frederick, this German knows very well the energy of Huatong Trading Company, and it is the only enterprise in Shanghai that can do business with the Kuomintang without restrictions.

After the Japanese captured the Shanghai Stock Exchange, Japanese enterprises naturally followed the rising tide and gave priority to all businesses, which led to the impact of foreign banks and capital in other countries.

Frederick, a German Chinese firm, is naturally no exception, and the business volume has plummeted, and now Chen Mingxiang has taken the initiative to come to the door, which is a sign of excitement.
