If Huazhong Salt Co., Ltd. delays the time when it is acquired by Huazhong Salt Co., Ltd., then Huazhong Salt Co., Ltd. will not be able to control the Lianghuai Salt Farm, but Chen Mingxiang can use the authorization of Huazhong Salt Co., Ltd. to eliminate the interference of the old salt merchants and strengthen his own turf power.

Four months was enough time for him to run Su Xichang and Zhenjiang, including Guangling and other places, as well as the most important Shanghai and Jinling, and even if the Central China Salt Industry Company officially took over the two Huai salt farms, there would be no ability to restrain him.

But Horiuchi Yujo believes that everyone is selfish, isn't there a saying that people don't kill the heavens and the earth for their own sake, and Chen Mingxiang's approach has no impact on the Japanese government, but is beneficial.

At least on the issue of the coal shortage in Shanghai, it can be seen that although Chen Mingxiang also engages in monopoly, he has a long-term vision, and does not aim to seek huge profits in a short period of time, but hopes to rely on quantity and market share in exchange for wealth, which is in line with Japan's new strategy.

"Your Excellency Consul General, thank you for your great help, this time is very precious to me, and when the price of salt in the market stabilizes, I invite you to eat at home." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

The Huazhong Salt Company represented by Li Hongfei did not dare to urge the Japanese, and the 30 July of the July 30 mentioned by Horiuchi Yujo would definitely be the time for the final handover to be completed.

"There's no problem with this, I've heard it a long time ago, Chen Jun's wife is very proficient in tea ceremony culture, and has been praised by many senior military generals for this, you can do it with confidence, and communicate with me at any time when you encounter anything, as long as you work for the empire, the Consulate General is your backing." Horiuchi said in the city.

This is a tacit deal between the two, Chen Mingxiang invited Horiuchi Yucheng to eat at home, the purpose is not only to eat, but also to give Horiuchi Yucheng a part of the harvest as a thank you.

Horiuchi Yujo naturally understood what he meant, and he readily agreed, as long as it did not harm the interests of the empire, he would not refuse benefits, everyone likes money, why should he pretend to be so high?

Besides, the psychological quality of people who engage in diplomacy is not ordinarily strong, especially the diplomats of the Japanese government, who often do things that turn black and white upside down.

While Chen Mingxiang was sharpening his knife, Kanshiro Shibayama, the top military adviser to Wang's puppet government, came to Shanghai and summoned him at the station of the Mei organ.

Of course, Chen Mingxiang knew about Shibayama Kaneshiro's purpose, and it was nothing more than to recommend his old subordinate Kitazawa Ping to the police academy, but unfortunately, his action was a little late.

"I have admired Chen Jun's name for a long time, and I have been thunderous in Shanghai and even the entire Central China region, and I have been awarded the second-class Ruibao Heavy Medal by His Majesty the Emperor, and I am known as the most loyal follower of the empire, and I have procured materials for the imperial army all the year round, and have made great contributions to the cause of the empire, and the future is immeasurable!" Shibayama Kaneshiro shook hands with Chen Mingxiang with a smile on his face and said.

"I don't dare to be so praised by His Excellency the General, everything I have now is given to me by the empire, and it is natural to make a small contribution, I don't dare to take credit."

"Welcome to Your Excellency the General as the Supreme Military Advisor of the Jinling Government, I heard that because of your outstanding ability, you were sent to study in Western countries by the General Staff Headquarters, and you are an outstanding figure in the modern military of the Empire, I have really admired you for a long time." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

Everyone likes to listen to good words, Shibayama Kaneshiro is no exception, what Chen Mingxiang said is what he is most proud of, he was born as a heavy soldier, but he was able to rely on his own ability to be escorted by the staff headquarters to Britain and the United States for further study, and he also became the commander of the division, which is a rare special case.

The atmosphere of the conversation between the two was very harmonious, and after about ten minutes, Kitazawa Ping entered the office of the director, he knew Chen Mingxiang, and Chen Mingxiang also knew him, all from the file.

"Chen Jun, let me introduce to you, this is Bei Zeping, the new intelligence director of the Mei Agency, with the rank of lieutenant in the army, and your old boss Gangcun Shisan Shaozuo is a fellow villager and classmate, so it is relatively close." Kanshiro Shibayama said.

"Kitazawa-kun, I'm glad I can have today, Gangmura-kun has the grace to help me, please feel free to say if you need help in the future." Chen Mingxiang said, and then bowed, which is etiquette.

"Chen Jun is very famous in and outside the Guan, I used to be the head of the intelligence section of the headquarters of the Bingcheng Secret Service, although I have not communicated, but I am no stranger to Chen Jun at all, if there is any disturbance in the future, please forgive me." Kitazawa also bowed deeply.

The rumors of the smiling tiger are really well deserved, he always has a "sincere" smile on his face, giving people a sense of approachability, if it weren't for the information given by Yoshiko Kawashima and Shigeru Goto, Chen Mingxiang really thought he was a sleek and easy to contact person.

"Chen Jun, I heard that your police department has run a higher police school, the teachers are criminal investigation experts from Japan, and the instructors are veteran criminal investigation policemen borrowed from the Ministry of Public Security of Manchukuo, how is the progress of the school now?" Kanshiro Shibayama asked.

"Report to Your Excellency General, the progress is very smooth, the Ministry of Finance has allocated a special fund, and Lu Ying, the vice principal and the chief of the Shanghai Municipal Police, is responsible for supervising the work, according to the current speed of the project, it will be completed by the end of May, and it will not delay the start of school on July 1." Chen Mingxiang said.

Sure enough, the conversation began to shift to the police academy!

"Kitazawa-kun is also an old qualified imperial intelligence officer with rich combat experience, I want him to serve as an advisor to your police academy, what do you think?" Kanshiro Shibayama said.

In his heart, as long as he said a word, this matter would be a foregone conclusion, and Chen Mingxiang would dare to disobey the orders of the supreme military adviser?

"Your Excellency General, the police academy now has six advisers, and according to the agreement reached between the two sides, the number is full." Chen Mingxiang said.

Kitazawa Taira and Shibayama Kanshiro glanced at each other, and they both thought that it was the Military Police Command and the Ministry of War Special Service in Shanghai that took the lead, and that the adviser to the police academy must be Japanese, so there was no need to ask.

"Chen Jun, which department sent the consultant? The work of the police system of the Jinling government is the responsibility of our Mei agency. Kitazawa asked.

The Mei organ supervises all the yamen of the entire Wang puppet government, and the advisory system is also a concrete manifestation of the operation of the Mei organ; if other departments send advisers, the Mei organ cannot send advisers, which is against the rules of the game.

"There are two Gendarmerie Headquarters in Shanghai, one is the head of the Police Division, Kiyoshi Tsukamoto, and the other is Shigeto Goto, the chief of the Special High Division, and in addition to serving as the chief adviser, Saito Daisa of the Mei Agency also sent four resident advisers at a time, so there is really no need to increase the number of advisers." Chen Mingxiang said.
