"Captain Murano, who is this gentleman?" Yoshiko Kawashima asked with a smile.

Because of the special power and status of the Japanese military police, it has also become a very arrogant group, and as the captain of the Tsujo military police, Naohiro Murano is the military police officer, and he belongs to the rank of general in the Japanese army, and it is rare to see him entertain someone alone.

"This is Chen Mingxiang, the boss of the Huatong Trading Company of the Gendarmerie Headquarters in Shanghai, the director of the police department of the Ministry of the Interior of the Jinling Government, the deputy director of the Social Affairs Bureau of the Shanghai Special Municipal Government, the foreign affairs commissioner, and the director of the general affairs department of the Security Command. Naohiro Murano said with a smile.

This man who looks gentle and elegant and has an extraordinary bearing turned out to be Chen Mingxiang!

"It's actually Mr. Chen's coming, I haven't just heard about it, it's like thunder!" Yoshiko Kawashima said with a smile.

As a veteran spy, Kawashima Yoshiko not only has a strong ability to collect intelligence, but also has a wide range of information sources, of course, she knows Chen Mingxiang's name.

The subordinate of the Military Police Headquarters stationed in Shanghai, the confidant of Mayor Chen Gongbo, was favored by the Japanese Navy and the Japanese Army in Central China at the same time, and the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army looked at it differently, and its relationship with the Mei organ and the special service of the Ministry of the Army in Shanghai was not ordinary, and he was also a celebrity of the Consulate General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Shanghai, and his status was quite high.

Strictly speaking, this guy is not an intelligence officer, his identity is closer to a government official and a businessman, he is the largest smuggler in Shanghai and even in central China, a branch of Huatong Trading Company, and now he has extended his hand to North China, with a branch in Beiping and an office in Jincheng.

In particular, the recent movements in Jincheng could not be concealed from her, the Japanese army used trains to transport a large amount of coal from the Kailuan Coal Mine, and the local briquette factory in Jincheng and a newly opened briquette factory near the port were making briquettes day and night, and this matter was operated by the Jincheng Office of the Beiping Branch of the Huatong Trading Company.

Coal belongs to the controlled materials of the Japanese army, and ordinary people will never be able to get involved, but this guy can get permission, and there is a gendarmerie escort, so it is concluded that the relationship between the headquarters of the gendarmerie sent in North China has long been opened, and this Murano Naohiro gendarmerie Dazuo is estimated to have benefited a lot, so he is hospitable.

"Miss Kawashima is overrated, I am not a small person who works for the imperial army, a shallow false name is not worthy of praise, but Miss you, born in a prominent royal bloodline, famous outside the border and in North China, in the process of forming Manchukuo, made great contributions, is the most important spy flower of the imperial army, I have admired it for a long time." Chen Mingxiang said with a slight smile.

This is clearly scolding her for forgetting her ancestors, colluding with the Japanese army to work for Japan, and being a traitor and traitor who everyone scolds, but when interpreted literally, it is indeed a compliment, and neither Yoshiko Kawashima nor Naohiro Murano heard it.

"Where does Mr. Chen live? If you don't dislike it, the guest rooms in our Dongxing Building are also good, and they are also counted in the Japanese concession. Yoshiko Kawashima said.

Her biggest backer was the previous commander of the North China Front, Tada Jun, but Tada Jun has now been transferred to the reserve, just like Naohiro Murano said, she has no value and fell out of favor with the Japanese military department, and now is the downturn, which is as beautiful as before?

Chen Mingxiang didn't know that Yoshiko Kawashima's current life was a little embarrassing, because she had no status and position, she couldn't get funds, and she had always spent money lavishly, she was not used to such days, and always wanted to find new sources of money to support her high consumption.

Trapping and abduction is not a long-term solution, Chen Mingxiang's arrival has added a glimmer of hope to her, this is a God of Wealth, a little leakage between her fingers, she can continue her luxurious life.

"Miss Kawashima, I have already booked a room for Chen Jun at the Yamato Hotel, so I won't bother you." Naohiro Murano said.

There is no sign in the briquette factory near Jincheng Port, and there are Japanese military police patrolling here, and the coal yard is piled up like a hill of coal, and the manufacturing site has a high loess mound, accompanied by the huge roar of 30 machines, briquettes are constantly made.

Sun Dingxin has to go back and forth in various briquette factories every day, this is the first transaction of the Beiping branch and the Jincheng office, and it is also a relatively stable source of money, of course he has to be concerned.

Not only did the gendarmes on duty nod their heads, but even the workers of the briquette factory worked harder when they heard that the big boss was coming.

The monthly salary of 50 yuan in the bank is neither high nor low, and the factory is in charge of a full meal in the morning, noon, and evening, and the cornmeal nest, pickles, and rice porridge are eaten openly, and there are benefits, and the standard for a month is one pound of coarse salt, one pound of cane sugar, a towel, two pieces of soap, and ten boxes of matches.

Not only that, the briquette factory vacated two rows of warehouses to make dormitories, and issued a teacup, with enough broken tea pipes, where to find this kind of environmental treatment?

"We have 60 briquette machines so far, and we make about 9,000 quintals of briquettes a day, which is 270,000 quintals a month, which is fully able to meet the minimum needs, and if we give me more machines, we are bound to have more profits." Sun Dingxin said.

"At most, we can only produce 300,000 quintals per month, which has reached the limit of the market, and no matter how much, Japanese and Chinese businessmen in the coal industry in Shanghai are not allowed to eat my dipping sauce raw?"

"The production order of the entire briquette factory is in good order, busy but not flustered, Manager Sun, I have seen your ability, and you have lived up to the high salary I have offered you." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

"Boss, you have opened up all the key links, we have enough coal and water and electricity, high pay can recruit a large number of workers, there is no need to worry about sales at all, I am only responsible for production, and I can't even do this thing, then I don't have the face to stay here." Sun Dingxin said.

The manager of his office, who is specifically responsible for production and transportation, and Chen Mingxiang controls the raw materials and sales links, not because he is not at ease, but because he really does not have such skills, and all the relationships are only recognized by Chen Mingxiang alone.

"I decided to officially start the sale of briquettes on the 15th of next month, and the freighter will rush to Jincheng Port on the 5th, which is also your production deadline, transport 200,000 quintals of briquettes to the port in advance, and the stevedores will find it in advance, and the No. 9 freighter must depart, and the sales over there must not be delayed." Chen Mingxiang said.

"You don't have to worry about this, I will greet the gendarmerie detachment on the other side of the dock in advance and prepare enough stevedores for you to ensure that the departure of the cargo ship will not be delayed." Naohiro Murano said.

The shipment of goods in the port is basically carried by manpower, such as briquettes, one person and one load basket, one person can load a hundred catties of briquettes onto the ship at a time.

And the brutal Japanese army, there are more than 1,000 people requisitioned in Jincheng, and 200,000 quinques sounds like a lot, but in fact, it doesn't take more than two days.
