After the establishment of the Wang puppet government's Commercial Unified Council, the first administrative order to implement the power of material control was to require the major textile mills, trading houses, and textile shops in Shanghai to register their own cotton cloth and cotton yarn stocks.

However, this order was resisted by the silent forces of all parties, not only the Japanese businessmen were too lazy to deal with it, but even the Chinese businessmen in Shanghai also waited and watched the changes.

"As you know, I, as a supervisor and deputy secretary general of the CCC, am only responsible for contacting the city government and the military agencies stationed in Shanghai, and I am just a part-time job to transmit information, and it is inconvenient for me to speak on the work of the CCC. Chen Mingxiang said.

In view of the unsatisfactory promotion of the registration of cotton cloth and cotton yarn, the high-level of the Council of Commerce held a meeting on the 20th, and Chen Mingxiang did not want to participate, but Tang Shoumin, chairman of the Council of Commerce, personally called to invite him, and he could not refute this face.

When he arrived at the venue, he realized that these bigwigs of the CCC were really insidious enough, and they actually wanted him to come forward to participate in this work, win the support of the Japanese and the city government for the CCC, and exert pressure on the merchants, so he would not agree.

"Brother, this is the first task of our Chamber of Commerce to open the door, but it has become a stalemate, and these businessmen have been put in the air, unable to go up and down, and it is uncomfortable. If this stalemate continues, we will no longer have WeChat to speak of, and the future work will be even more difficult. ”

"We all know that your strength and background are profound, whether it is in the municipal government or the Japanese agency in Shanghai, you have a great influence, as long as the brother is willing to accept this important task, we will find a way to fight for you cotton resources, and the business unification will be unimpeded." Lin Kanghou said.

The chairman of the board of directors and the chairman of the board of supervisors are the main leaders of the Chamber of Commerce and Regulation, but if they talk directly to Chen Mingxiang, once they are refused, there is no room for turnaround, so the secretary general, Lin Kanghou, can only come forward for an interview first.

On the surface, it sounds like this condition is very lucrative, and it also looks at the key point of Chen Mingxiang, his three textile factories in Suzhou, which need a lot of cotton to start production. It's a pity that although Chen Mingxiang is young, he is too clear about the doorway here, and if he wants to fool him, there is no door!

Cotton cloth and cotton yarn are important war resources of the Japanese army, not counting the cotton and cotton yarn transported back to China, just the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Guannai, how much cotton cloth do they need a year?

Therefore, the Japanese businessmen have very strict control over the channels of cotton, and the merchant union cannot intervene at all, and the advice given is similar to farting.

Besides, Chen Mingxiang is now cutting his own industry, and the textile mill is going to close down two, even if he gives cotton resources, he can't ask for it, it's not enough to be eye-catching?

What's more, this group of old foxes has bad intentions, if anyone undertakes this task, they have to tear their faces with the businessmen of the entire cotton textile industry chain, the water is too deep, if you don't do it, you will drown, you don't want to offend people, do I want to offend people?

The task of strategic agents is not to offend people, but to find ways to expand relationships, who doesn't know that the collusion between officials and businessmen of Wang's puppet government has formed an intertwined chain of interests, such an errand may not be connected, and it is too late to hide!

"I'm sorry, this work requires a lot of energy and long negotiations, I really don't have the skills, don't forget, I am not only the chief of police, but also seven or eight part-time jobs to deal with, or that sentence, if there are any suggestions I can convey, there is no need to say anything else."

"Even if I agree, the Japanese and the city government will not agree, it will delay the handling of many important affairs, if you don't believe me, you can talk to these two sides, they really agree with me to take over, I will definitely be responsible." Chen Mingxiang said lightly.

Having said that, there is no need for the two sides to talk any further, and these people also know that Chen Mingxiang is not so easy to fool, as long as he goes out of this door, he will greet the relevant parties 100%, and it will be hellish if the city government and the Japanese garrison can agree to the request of the Chamber of Commerce and Unification.

Chen Mingxiang started in the smuggling business, and he can get to the point where he is today, not measured by age, since people don't take the bait, they can only be regarded as not mentioned, which annoys Chen Mingxiang, and their life is not easy, this kid is known as having hands and eyes.

On the same 20 March, the Wang puppet government in Jinling also ushered in a new supreme military adviser, Lieutenant General Kenshiro Shibayama, and Wang Jingwei also held a grand welcoming ceremony for this purpose.

However, unlike Lieutenant General Matsui, this ceremony is completely comparable to the visit of Hideki Tojo, and even Chen Gongbo rushed to Jinling from Shanghai to participate, which shows the high level of attention paid to Shibayama Kaneshiro.

"Shibayama Kaneshiro was instructed by the cabinet and the military department to come to implement the new strategy of the empire, so Chairman Wang gave such a high courtesy, and the thing is like this, as long as it is good for himself, it is not easy to behave?" Shigeru Goto said with a sneer.

When Chen Mingxiang saw this guy's face, he knew that Xiong Jiandong's words were not wrong, and Shigeru Goto must have gotten the news that he had been transferred, and directly called Shibayama Kaneshiro's name, not even the two generals, which is very revealing.

In the Japanese army gendarmerie system, the military police stationed in Shanghai is the fattest position, accustomed to a luxurious life and high consumption, as well as a steady stream of wealth, and suddenly lose all this, he must be reluctant in his heart, and he is in a very bad mood for this.

"Chen-kun, this is an authorization document signed by the commander-in-chief of the dispatch army, General Shunroku Hata, and it has the signatures of Lieutenant General Matsui Taikuro, Chief of the General Staff, Lieutenant General Shimomura Ding, commander of the 13th Army, Yujo Horiuchi, Consul General in Shanghai, and me, as well as the signatures of Admiral Furukawa Mine of the Frontal Fleet Command and Vice Admiral Kakuzaburo Makita, Commander of the Marine Corps."

"Each signatory of this top-secret document has a backup, not afraid of losing it, this is your own copy, if anyone in the future takes this matter to find trouble, show it to him, want to find faults, and ask these signatories if they agree." Kinoshita Eichi also said with a somewhat unsightly face.

What Chen Mingxiang didn't expect was that when he came back from Guanwai this time, as soon as he asked for a power of attorney, Kinoshita Rongshi agreed very happily, and it was handled in just a few days.

"Thank you very much for your help, with this document, I don't have to worry about someone making a fuss about the smuggling channels of Huatong Trading Company!"

"But how did I hear the news that Goto-kun is going to be transferred back to the headquarters of the Tokyo Military Police Headquarters, and Okamura Shaoza is going to be transferred back to the special high school, is there such a thing?" Chen Mingxiang asked.
