Chapter 311: Behind the Scenes Four
Zhou Gaohai in Jinling called Xiliuwan, there is a three-story residence, called Zhou * Mansion, the scenery here is very beautiful, not too far from Xuanwu Lake.
"Why did you get off work so early today, and you called me to tell me to prepare a table of wine and food in advance, who is coming to the house?" Yang Shuhui asked curiously.
Zhou Gaohai's personality is relatively arrogant, and there are few people who can get this kind of treatment, counting the Jinling government, preparing meals in advance, is Wang Jingwei and his family coming?
"It's Chen Mingxiang from Mocun and Shanghai, and I'm going to come to the house for dinner tonight." Zhou Gaohai handed the briefcase to the maid at home.
"Chen Mingxiang? Is it the young man who has a good relationship with the Japanese military police command and does smuggling business? You need to be so grand! Yang Shuhui said.
Chen Mingxiang She has indeed heard of it many times, but such a small role can't be put in her eyes at the moment, and she thinks that Zhou Gaohai is making a bit of a fuss.
"What do you know, don't look at Chen Mingxiang, a young man who is very low-key in doing things, and he doesn't have any prominent positions, but his network in Shanghai is very strong, and the Japanese army and navy look at him differently.
"Chen Mingxiang is a close confidant of the Military Police Command, and he is responsible for secretly purchasing strategic materials for the Japanese army and navy, handling tens of millions of dollars every year!"
"He is the biggest smuggling boss in Shanghai, and he is also the biggest anti-smuggling boss, and he was recently favored by Chen Gongbo and promoted to the foreign affairs commissioner of the municipal government.
"His background is very complicated, and it is not convenient for me to tell you some identities, in short, this young man is very useful to me, and I plan to develop him as an insider of the city government, such an important place, you can't live without me."
"You have to treat Chen Mingxiang with the best wine and food according to the highest specifications, this person is famous for his generosity in Shanghai, and our family will definitely not lose money!" Zhou Gaohai said with a smile.
Sure enough, Yang Shuhui soon knew what Zhou Gaohai meant by "not losing money", not to mention a gift worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, even she felt dazzled, and while the three of them went upstairs to talk, she asked the maid to take the things to her room, and she admired it for a long time, and she was reluctant to put it down.
The 44-year-old Zhou Gao is very elegant, graduated from the Economics Department of Kyoto Imperial University in Japan, served as the chief instructor of the Central Army Military Academy of the Yamashiro Government, the deputy director of the Attendant Office of the Yamashiro Government, and the director of the Central Propaganda Department, and was also a powerful character.
"Mocun told you about your intention yesterday, and I also had to let the secret service headquarters retaliate because of the aggressiveness of the military command, the Central Reserve Bank and the Central Reserve Bonds are of great significance to the Jinling government, and we can't put the country's economic lifeline and the important conditions for the operation of the government on the legal tender of the Shancheng government."
"As long as the military commanders do not continue to assassinate the China Reserve Bank and become a situation where fiat currency and China Reserve bonds coexist, I can promise a truce between the two sides, after all, my purpose is not against the military commanders." Zhou Gaohai said.
"I will definitely convey the minister's intentions to the military commanders as soon as possible, and you may also understand that the military commanders still have a strong underground organization in Shanghai, and if I don't follow their wishes, my own safety will be in trouble."
"In addition, the Huatong Trading Company smuggled military supplies for the Japanese army from the Chiang Tong area, and it was inevitable to deal with the military commander's related households, and their power is getting bigger and bigger, and they can provide me with seven to eighty percent of the supply of goods, and I can't afford to offend." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
"The development of the Military Command Bureau in the past two years is indeed very amazing, and the funds required are also increasing year by year, except for smuggling, there is no second way to support the operation of the Military Command Bureau, and the economy of the Shancheng government has been blocked, and the financial aspect is very difficult."
"You don't have to worry, it's not just that you're making deals with the Military Administration, even Japanese companies are also privately trading with the Military Administration, both the army and the navy, and it's not a big deal." Zhou Gaohai nodded and said.
He did not suspect Chen Mingxiang's identity because of this, even the Mei organ secretly did business with the Military Command Bureau, this is a semi-open secret at present, the Japanese are doing this, why can't Chen Mingxiang do this?
What's more, Chen Mingxiang conveyed the intention of the Military Command Bureau to make a truce, which was a very normal behavior. In this era, there are no absolutes, everyone is looking for a way back for themselves, as long as they don't touch the bottom line, it doesn't matter.
"Mingxiang, the minister attaches great importance to you, and is also very optimistic about your ability, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can seek the care of the minister, and you must report to the minister in time for some major affairs of the municipal government." Ding Mocun showed his role very well and changed the topic.
"I don't mean to target anyone, Shanghai is Asia's international financial center, but also the country's leader in industry and commerce, the status is very important, for the Ministry of Finance and the Reserve Bank of China is the top priority, you should know best, the city government is to obey the instructions of the Japanese, I hope to be able to get some trends in advance, it is very helpful for the work." Zhou Gaohai said.
Speaking of which, Zhou Gaohai and Chen Gongbo do not have any personal contradictions, nor do they mean to calculate Chen Gongbo, but as politicians, they always think about the layout of important places.
For the extremely important territory of Shanghai, Zhou Gaohai has long coveted it, but unfortunately Wang Jingwei did not allow him to wear many hats at all, and finally fell into the hands of Chen Gongbo, which is his great regret.
Tonight's banquet was enjoyed by the guests and the hosts, and it didn't end until more than ten o'clock, and Zhou Gaohai specially sent the two out of the door, which was also a very special treatment.
"Don't look at Li Shiqun's current scenery, I judge that he can't fight the scheming Zhou Gaohai, if you want to say that the struggle at the political level, he is still far behind, he was an agent of the Central Unification before, and he actually has little experience in this kind of murderous and bloodless internal dumping."
"The reason why I am so proud now is, on the one hand, the needs of the Mei organs, and on the other hand, the needs of Chairman Wang, the secret service in the wartime is the tool needed for the rule, and when the secret service threatens the ruling class, it will be abandoned at any time.
"If Li Shiqun is still a little sensible, don't leave this territory, repair the relationship with Zhou Gaohai, keep the anti-Japanese organizations such as the Shanghai First District of the Military Control Bureau, and the secret service headquarters has the need and soil to survive, and he has the value of being used."
"I dare to assert that if the organization of the Military Command Bureau in Shanghai is completely uprooted by him, and he concentrates his energy on the Qingxiang Committee, or even holds a higher position, the day of his death will not be far off." Ding Mocun said with some emotion.
