After coming out of the military police headquarters stationed in Shanghai, Chen Mingxiang immediately went to the station of the Mei organ and smoothly met with the head of the organ, Lieutenant General Matsui Taikuro.

The top military adviser to the Jinling government is generally based in Jinling, but Shanghai is an important stronghold of the Mei organs, and some members are stationed in Shanghai, and Matsui Taikuro returns twice a month.

"Your Excellency General, I plan to leave for the outside of the border in the next two days to provide the necessary support for the business of the branch, and I hope to be able to get your help, which is a completely unfamiliar environment for me." Chen Mingxiang said.

"Jun Chen, your relationship with the empire has always been close, let's be more straightforward in some words, there is no need to be too polite, so it is easier to chat."

"After you arrive in Manchukuo, there is no need to spend money on relations everywhere, and those who really hold power will be useful to you will definitely be the generals and officials of the empire in Manchukuo."

"There are two important people in Manchukuo that I will introduce to you, one is Lieutenant General Yoshioka Yasunao of the imperial family, he has a very deep relationship with me, I used to be the head of the secret service in Beiping, he is the head of the secret service in Wucheng, and now it is the third time I have served as the imperial family, which is the emperor's private secretary."

"Yoshioka Yasunao's role is to act as a liaison between the Kwantung Army Headquarters and the Emperor of Manchukuo, his influence in Manchukuo can be imagined, as long as he comes forward to say hello, your local business will not be embarrassed."

"The other is His Excellency Rokuzo Takebe, he is not a member of the military, he belongs to the government, when I was the top military adviser to Manchukuo, I had contact with him for a few months, and I got along very well, and after I left office, I had to give him gifts every year."

"As the chief of general affairs of the State Council of Manchukuo, Takebe Rokuzo is equivalent to a real decision-maker in terms of government affairs, and if you want to transport goods from outside the customs to Central China by sea, he can play the most critical role." Matsui said with a smile.

Chen Mingxiang was pleasantly surprised, the 100,000 US dollars he spent was not wasted, and the two real power invaders outside the Guan, one was the secretary of the puppet emperor and the other was the person in charge of the administrative affairs of the puppet government, and their value to themselves was very high.

"Thank you for your help, as long as the business outside the customs is carried out smoothly, there will definitely be a reward for you. Actually, I don't have any important procurement business outside the customs, and I understand the importance of the empire there, and resources are prioritized to supply the needs of the empire. ”

"The French merchants in the French Concession have a lot of luxury goods in their hands, which is an important reason for my export outside the customs area, no matter how the war continues, the pursuit of high-end life will not stop, and there is a need for this everywhere."

"In addition, my silk and tea in Suzhou and Hangzhou are the main export goods, considering my own needs, I hope to exchange a small amount of soybeans and cotton outside the customs, and nothing else." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

"Your way of thinking is right, Manchukuo is indeed an important material support base of the empire, and the most imported into the country are soybeans and soy products, cotton and cotton yarn, coal, timber, millet, etc., especially soybeans, which are the number one resource, in addition to being used to extract oil, soybean cake can also be used as fertilizer, you know, Japan's arable land is not very good."

"Of course, Central China is also an important material asset of the empire, and you use cotton yarn and cotton cloth to trade strategic materials for the imperial army, and this matter also needs to be supported, I will explain this request of yours to Yoshioka-kun and Takebe-kun, and ask them to arrange it for you." Matsui Taikuro said.

paved the way for the relationship outside the customs, and there is basically no problem so far, Chen Mingxiang returned home and began to make preparations.

But he was a little distressed, the three high-level Japanese devils had to be at least 300,000 US dollars to achieve the effect they wanted, and the foreign exchange cost was a bit much, and the 500,000 US dollars given by Li Shiqun was far from enough!

"What are you worried about, our family's dollars have filled the two large safes, and when we go to Pingjin in North China to establish relations, we use Li Shiqun's money." Wang Zhen asked strangely.

According to her understanding, Chen Mingxiang doesn't care much about money, as long as he can spend it on the blade, he doesn't care much about the number, and where does he get if he doesn't pay?

"The reason why I feel distressed is that after the Japanese army occupied the concession and the port city, we lost the exchange channel of the dollar, and we used a little less, this kind of American banknote is hard currency, and it will retain its value at any time, and I can't print US dollars, and the ghost knows that there are still a few years before the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, which is a bit troublesome."

"No, I have to find some more dollars, so I will go through four channels to raise money, one is the channel of the public concession, and tonight I will go to the former general director Riddle, the British and American businessmen must still have some dollars in their hands, and I will exchange them for grain, salt, peanut oil, and daily necessities."

"The second is to find the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy, Taiji Ota promised to give me a subsidy, he can give a million dollars a month to the Ministry of Industry Bureau of the Public Concession, why do you have to subsidize me with 300,000 US dollars?"

"The third is to find a way for Zhou Gaohai, the Central Reserve Bank still has a few million dollars, in the name of making connections, I asked him to drum up 500,000 US dollars from the reserves, and I will use the funds raised to exchange them at a ratio of 25 to 1, and give him one-fifth of the benefits."

"Finally, there is the black market in Shanghai, we are not short of China Reserve Bonds now, we can have 50 million in the account at the end of September, this is the loan that Chen Gongbo applied for me, you take out 10 million China Reserve Bonds and put them into the black market to exchange for dollars, it doesn't matter if the price is higher." Chen Mingxiang said.

With the cessation of the circulation of military stamps, the Wang puppet government will bear all the military expenses of the Japanese army in China, and in the absence of such economic strength, it can only lead to one result: the printing machine needs to print 24 hours a day, the value of the Central Reserve Bills will drop sharply, and the Central Reserve Bills will become waste paper.

The current purchasing power of the Central Reserve Bonds is still okay, that is because the issuance is still within the controllable range, but as the Central Reserve Bonds are printed more and more, it is estimated that it will not take two years to achieve 10 million China Reserve Bonds, at most 1,000 yuan, if Chen Mingxiang gives a ten-year loan term, it is estimated that he will not have to pay it back.

But then again, this kind of thing is about Zhou Gaohai's fart, and the general environment is like this, as long as he can get benefits, everything is not a problem. Again, it is useless to put money in the Central Savings Bank, and it is the most important thing to put it in his own pocket.

The use of foreign exchange reserves for the issuance of China Reserve Bonds is not just anyone's qualifications, and Chen Mingxiang happens to be one of them, with Zhou Gaohai and Chen Gongbo joining forces to protect him, who dares to be crooked within Wang's puppet government?
