Chapter 581: Help to the end
This road from Shanghai to Suzhou, Zheng Tonghui is really up and down in his heart, if there is no vital top secret, Chen Mingxiang will not be able to send a car to take him to Suzhou, it is estimated that he can't get away from things when he encounters things, and he has no other contact with the underground party, it is not safe to call, so he can only take such a means.
But the question is, Chen Mingxiang is in Suzhou, what emergency will he have?
Waiting for the car to drive to the office of Fenghua Company, Zheng Tonghui pretended to be calm and walked into the garden house, and was directly led to a room on the second floor.
There are wooden floors and carpets on the floor, crystal chandeliers hanging on the roof, sofas, coffee tables and wine cabinets, and gramophones playing music.
"Editor-in-Chief Zheng, it's been hard all the way, sit down!" Chen Mingxiang stood up enthusiastically and said.
"Mr. Chen is too polite, this is a chance for our newspaper, how dare you say that it is hard, I have to give you two glasses, thank you for your favor." Zheng Tonghui said.
No matter how anxious he was, with the bodyguards present at the moment, he had to make a show and say a few polite words so as not to arouse unnecessary suspicion.
Chen Mingxiang waved his hand lightly, and the bodyguard immediately went out, and then closed the door.
"That's the case, I had dinner with the officers of the Japanese army in the Qingxiang Committee last night, and Kiyoshi Ogasawara, from the second section of the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army, revealed an important piece of information."
"Okamura Ningji on the North China side is preparing to carry out a large-scale sweep in the central Hebei region, and now the army is secretly assembling to the target of the attack, don't worry, the Japanese army's attack time is scheduled for May 10, and there are still ten days to do evacuation and retreat."
"The approximate scope of this sweeping plan is the four neighboring counties in the north of Hengshui, I heard that they are Shenxian, Wuqiang, Raoyang and Anping, and there may be a small area nearby."
"The deployment of the Japanese army is directly under the 110th Division and the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade, the 41st Division and the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade of the First Army in Jin Province, with a strength of 36,000 troops, and the number of the Imperial Allied Army is unknown for the time being."
"Tomorrow morning, you go to the silk weaving factory to take pictures, make a show for others to see, and after eating at noon, I will send a car to take you back, you should understand what I mean." Chen Mingxiang said.
Hearing that there were still ten days to prepare, Zheng Tonghui finally breathed a sigh of relief, but this time was not enough to evacuate the local people, transfer production equipment and materials, arrange counter-sweeps, etc.
But Chen Mingxiang has done his best, he can't make trouble for others anymore, this has already made a great contribution to the base area, Chen Mingxiang should be credited, and he must be credited.
"It's okay, every time we meet in Shanghai, it has to end in a short time, this is a rare opportunity, I am planning to ask for the tricks of doing business!" Zheng Tonghui said with a smile.
"Doing business? Is it to get procurement funds? Well, it's finally enlightened, in fact, you should have thought of this step a long time ago, but unfortunately, the current situation in the Shanghai market is too far from before, and it is not easy to do trading in all walks of life. ”
"You can't get involved in the smuggling business, the discipline of the underground party is very strict, and you can't open those gambling tables, tobacco houses, and entertainment venues, so you can only start from the industries that are needed for daily life."
"In this way, find a good location to set up a restaurant, the decoration inside is more high-end, invite a few chefs with real skills, the taste of the food is good and the style is more, and you can also cook Japanese food, I can set your restaurant as a designated reception place."
"For example, the Social Bureau, the Inspection Team, the Foreign Affairs Office and the Huatong Trading Company, etc., the less important banquets are put in your place, and you don't have to worry about the settlement, and you will go to your respective financial settlement once a week, and I will say hello in advance, so that you can also make some money."
"I know that the underground party organizations are very poor, and in order to persist in the War of Resistance, it is estimated that most people will have a problem even eating, and help to the end, who asked me to give you this idea!"
"You borrow money from Wang Zhen to open a restaurant, and pay it off within a year, I won't charge you interest, so it's always okay, right?" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
At this time, there were only a few profiteering industries in Shanghai, and the smuggling trade had been divided up by the Huatong Trading Company, government officials, military and police officers, and smugglers.
And those underground industries that do not see the light are a wonderful cover for the military and the central government, and they are also a way to make money, but the underground party is absolutely not involved, and the principle cannot be broken, no matter what the circumstances, it must have its own persistence.
As for the business of opening a restaurant or restaurant, it doesn't matter, this is a very legitimate industry, as long as the operation is good, it can also solve some financial problems.
The resources in Chen Mingxiang's hands are very huge, let's put it this way, he leaked a little from between his fingers, and there is no doubt that he can earn tens of thousands of yuan a month, and he has entertainment expenses.
"Thank you Mr. Chen for your help, first gave us such important information about the base area, and now helps us earn funds, on behalf of the comrades of the Shanghai underground party, thank you." Zheng Tonghui was also very happy.
This visit to Suzhou can be said to be fruitful, the most important thing is, of course, the news about the Japanese army's sweep of the base area in May, and then the financial difficulties have also been solved, as long as Chen Mingxiang's attitude is slightly tilted, it is inevitable that this restaurant will make money.
"How is Kun Yu's work in the Northeast?" Chen Mingxiang asked.
"I heard from the leaders of the base area that Comrade Kunyu is much more mature than before in terms of thinking and way of doing things, and is slowly transforming, and now he has the characteristics of an underground worker."
"A few days ago, she also purchased some luxury goods through me in the French Concession in Shanghai, which she used to pull connections through the back door and infiltrate the enemy's social circles to obtain information, and the local underground party leadership comrades spoke highly of her." Zheng Tonghui said.
"Hehe, she learned this with me, but from this point of view, she has indeed matured, she has never done such things by herself before, and she has improved!" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
What did he get started with? Isn't it just to rely on the relationship to go through the back door, with the huge benefits brought by Huatong Trading Company, to tie up the important people of the Japanese pseudo-Japanese and themselves, so there is this kind of quality, in the Shanghai market is almost to be wind and rain, and the facts have also proved that this is the most concise and effective means.
Lu Kunyu has become mature, and Chen Mingxiang has also been relieved a lot, he has been worried that this little junior sister will not only bring threats to the organization because of her own youth, but also encounter great danger herself.
Since she has made up her mind to participate in the battle against the enemy, this is an unchangeable fact, and she can only be expected to improve herself, and it is not easy to survive in the underground workers of the puppet Manchukuo during this period.
