Chen Mingxiang's reply is also very standard, Horiuchi Yujo and Katsuo Okaki are very satisfied, no wonder Akagi kinyuki attaches so much importance to this guy, the key is that people know their own positioning, understand what the Ministry of Foreign Affairs needs him to do, and they are not fascinated by this series of job titles.

"Chen Jun, you are really capable and quick-thinking, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs really needs an elite like you, don't worry, within the scope of the public concession, you can fully exercise your position and power, Gang Qijun will help you, we need you to play a greater role." Horiuchi said with a smile.

If you can correct your position, the Consulate General also has to give some sweetness and some benefits, he means that these positions are not false titles, you can do it within the scope of your authority, if the Japanese are not convinced, Okaki Katsuo will clean them up.

Although these words are not necessarily false, Chen Mingxiang will not take them seriously, relying on his own power to do things, it is far better to rely on his own wrists to win people's hearts, the gendarmerie headquarters has let him do it, what waves can a group of small policemen make?

"The head of the Criminal Special High Division is Shigeru Goto Nakasa, he is from the Military Police Headquarters, and he is the next special high section chief, and it is estimated that he will come to Shanghai around February 20.

"The specific affairs are naturally handled by the following people, and it is estimated that there will be no major events during the New Year, it is nothing more than those idle guys in Hongkou District, who may have to fight and cause some trouble."

"You are still working in the office of the Ministry of Labor Bureau building, saving you from wasting time by moving around, and the household registration will begin on the 20th of this month, and at the beginning of next month, the imperial army will implement control over the public concession, prohibiting the possession of dangerous goods such as weapons and arms, and prohibiting the flow of materials in the concession, and all of them will be registered."

"As my assistant, you try to work in the Ministry of Industry Bureau during this time, there are many trivial things, and in a few days you will take over the public utility company in the public concession first." Katsuo Okaki said.

What kind of bullshit control, not for the wealth of those foreign expatriates in the public concession? In the name of searching for contraband, they carried out open looting, and in the process, I don't know how many people would die!

Chen Mingxiang's first thought when he got this date was to come to the office building of the Ministry of Industry and the office of the general director, Riddle, but coincidentally, the four directors of the British, American and Dutch countries and Philip from the president's office were all drinking and smoking cigars here, but their faces were very ugly.

"Mr. Chen, those of us have submitted our resignations to the board of directors of the Ministry of Industry Bureau, and now it should be said that the Japanese occupation agency, ending this period of humiliating experience, and officially electing new directors on the 7th." Riddle said with a wry smile.

"Do you want me to help you evacuate Shanghai? When the Japanese are less concerned, I can send you to the mountain town. Chen Mingxiang asked.

"No, we are all going to be with the diaspora of our own country, this is our duty, thank you for your kindness, you have time to see us, let us starve to death and be grateful." Riddle's tone was full of desolation.

"At the beginning of next month, the Japanese army will carry out a large-scale search of foreign nationals in the public concession, and if there is anything to say in advance, I will try to do it for you." Chen Mingxiang said.

"Mr. Chen, we do have something we want to ask for your help, the purpose of the Japanese occupation of the concession is for wealth, according to the shamelessness and greed of the Japanese army, everyone's family will be turned upside down."

"After our secret contact, some of the people's valuables want to be entrusted to you for safekeeping, coins and gold bars belong to you, some rare jewelry, gold and silver jewelry, as well as deposit certificates, title deeds and bonds, etc., please put them in a safe place."

"The commission period is twenty years, and when the time comes, it will still be such a bad situation, and everything will be given to you, which is also their last hope." Riddle said.

"For the time being, let's put it in the Marat Villa, which is the place I chose to live, most people know that whether it is the gendarmerie, the marines, or the Japanese police station, they dare not come to the door to find trouble, and after a while, I will dig a cellar and bury it." Chen Mingxiang said.

He did not hesitate to accept the commission of the board of directors of the Ministry of Industry, and the time was tight and the task was heavy, so he had to devote the greatest energy to this matter.

Twenty years? It's a joke!

Chen Mingxiang firmly believed that with a military power like the United States participating in the war, it would be absolutely impossible for the Japanese army to hold out for 10 or 8 years before admitting defeat, and perhaps in four or five years, China would have to get rid of the aggression of the Japanese devils.

He didn't think about embezzling this wealth at all, thinking that the value of this matter itself was far higher than the value of these items, and the more favors he sent, the better, maybe after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he would be able to play an unexpected role.

After the secret contact between several people and a group of people from the Ministry of Industry Bureau, the British and American businessmen in the concession who intended to store the goods jointly sealed their valuables in boxes and entrusted them to Chen Mingxiang for safekeeping, which was also a helpless way.

In order not to be obtrusive, the number of chests is naturally as small as possible, so the contents are also the most precious treasures.

Each box contains a list, which everyone signs and confirms, and then it is transported by a truck from Huatong Trading Company to the Marat Villa, where it is temporarily stored in a room.

"The foreign merchants in the concession are really rich, you see, boxes of dollars, pounds, fiat currency and gold bars, how much does it cost!" Wang Zhen said in amazement.

She watched the living room pile up with coins and gold, and her heart beat faster.

"The fiat currency is of little significance, the Japanese and the Wang puppet government will soon ban the circulation of fiat currency, and in the future, you will have to use the China Reserve Coupons for trading and shopping, and after a while, this is a lot of waste paper!"

"Merchants in the public concession also use fiat currency, and this is because most of the money is stored in the bank, otherwise the amount will be more."

"It's a pity, there are too few dollars and pounds, and these foreigners are really, why don't they know how to save more money from their own country!" Chen Mingxiang said regretfully.

"The good things in the world, do you still let you take them all alone? They trusted you so much beyond my expectations, and I thought they were all burying their money in the ground! Wang Zhen said.

"Do you think there isn't? The people who can be contacted by the Ministry of Industry and the Bureau are a small number of businessmen, and ordinary people can only fend for themselves. ”

"I dare to say that the vast majority of foreign nationals will dig a pit and hide their money and valuables, and the Japanese army has always been to dig three feet into the ground, and they will definitely find a lot of property."

"We can't control these things, you count the amount of this money, and half of the fiat currency will be transported back to the mountain city as the funds of the bureau headquarters, and the national control area still uses fiat currency, and the other half is exchanged for the central reserve coupons as the office expenses of the directly subordinate station." Chen Mingxiang said.

He was busy storing valuables for the Anglo-American merchants of the Public Concession, but he did not expect that something big was about to happen.
