Chapter 775: The Battle for the Coal Market III

On the morning of the 15th, the station of the Yuchang Coal Company was in full swing, and those who thought they were close to Chen Mingxiang came to help greet the guests.

In fact, this kind of opening ceremony is also a formality, the guests sit in the VIP rooms on the first and second floors, drink a cup of tea and smoke a cigarette, and then cut the ribbon, and then go to Wang Baohe Restaurant to eat, and there is no new trick in the process.

"It's only seven and ten o'clock, why are so many people here, the officers of the gendarmerie and the marines, the directors of the eight bureaus of the city government, and a large number of district and county magistrates, it's too outrageous, right?" Lin Zhijiang looked at the lineup in front of him and was a little dumbfounded.

Chen Mingxiang saved his life, and he was the head of the Shanghai Experimental Zone of the Secret Service Headquarters, as the captain of the action team, of course he and Zhang Jinlu came over to help.

Who knows if it was a little late to get up early in the morning, and when I came to the scene, the group of people from the guard team, Pan Da, She Aizhen, Shen Gengmei, Xu Caili, Wang Ji'an and others had already arrived.

The four section chiefs of the Military Police Command came, the three officers of the Marine Corps Command who had the best relationship with Chen Mingxiang came, and even Lu Ying, Mo Guokang, He Zhuoxian, He Bingxian, and the directors of the city government also came, as well as some district heads, county magistrates, and commissioners of the public office of Shanghai.

The Municipal Police Department and the Huxi Special Police Headquarters maintained order, as well as the police of the Public Concession Bureau of the Ministry of Works, the Gendarmerie and the Marine Corps set up their own cordons.

"It's all your grinding, you have to finish eating before you come, can you starve to death if you eat one less breakfast? Who doesn't know that because of his wife's matter, Director Chen was angry at the crown, this kind of formation was probably never seen again except when the Japanese army occupied the concession. ”

"You yourself saw it that day, Director Chen is standing next to a group of senior Japanese generals, what kind of relationship is this, besides, dare to meddle in the coal industry in Shanghai, this is a symbol of status, are coal merchants easy to mess with?" Zhang Jinlu said in a low voice.

Although Chen Mingxiang is the head of the experimental area, he is also the director of the inspection office of the secret service headquarters, and the old qualified member of the secret service headquarters is still called Director Chen, which makes the relationship more cordial.

In fact, Chen Mingxiang's highest position is the chief of police of the Ministry of the Interior, and in formal occasions, most people have to call him Director Chen, which is also the rule of officialdom.

"Mingxiang, what you did was a little biased, why did you give Mo Guokang such a good deal, but you forgot about our two sisters?" He Zhuoxian said with a smile.

Sitting next to Chen Mingxiang, reaching out to hold his arm, a bit similar to a coquettish tone, this is not that their behavior is open, but the relationship between the three is relatively close, this is a way to shorten the distance, isn't it normal for women to be coquettish?

Of course, this is in the manager's office upstairs, Chen Mingxiang is sitting on the sofa at this time busy eating breakfast, he came to the company at five o'clock in the morning to command, and the big drama planned by himself is about to open, as the director and the male number one, although he is a little sleepy, he is indeed a little excited in his heart.

"What kind of good deal is this, it is nothing more than being a middleman to make a little difference, in fact, it is a little welfare for the officials of the city government, and the money is not very much, we are good friends, if you are short of money, just tell me, although the flowers in the greenhouse can not resist the wind and rain, but it is pleasing to the eye!" Chen Mingxiang also smiled.

For the two sisters, He Zhuoxian and He Bingxian, he only regarded him as a friend who could relax and chat easily, and he did not object to such an intimate act.

"Our sisters don't want to open their mouths to ask you for money, with Chen Gongbo, we can make some money openly, and there is something to pass the time, that's what we need." He Bingxian said.

This is the cleverness of the two sisters, Chen Mingxiang took the initiative to give them money and gifts, that is one thing, open your mouth to ask, that is another nature, when the relationship between everyone, it is definitely not as casual and intimate as now, they don't want to lose Chen Mingxiang's friend, there are not many people who have dealings in Shanghai.

"If you want to do some business and make money, this is the easiest thing for me, so you can find two salt shops in densely populated places, and soon a large amount of salt will be shipped to Shanghai, and I will wholesale some for you, which is a very good long-term business."

"The price of salt in Shanghai has risen very quickly, and now it has reached more than three yuan per catty of coarse salt, and the price will definitely be raised at the end of the year, I will give you six yuan per catty, and make two yuan purely, and you can earn 200,000 yuan by selling 100,000 catties a month, and each person will share 100,000 yuan, which is enough for you to spend." Chen Mingxiang said.

If he wants to earn 100,000 or 200,000 "pocket money" a month, it is indeed not difficult for him, it is enough to leak out a little bit from his fingers.

Counting only the public concession and the French concession, how can a population of more than 2 million people get 2 million catties of salt in a month, even if he occupies half of the share, it is still 1 million catties, and he gives one-tenth of it as a favor, which is a completely acceptable proportion.

These two sisters are different from Mo Guokang, they don't interfere in Chen Gongbo's work, nor do they use their special identity to do anything wrong, just to enjoy a luxurious life comfortably, Chen Mingxiang's heart does not refuse to help them.

"Thank you, let's go down below to prepare first, wait for you to have free time another day, come to the house for dinner, and we will accompany you to have a few drinks." He Bingxian said with a sweet smile.

They have always done things in a very measured way, this is a very good quality, knowing that today is a very important day, staying too long, whether it is for Chen Mingxiang or them, there is no benefit, so they took the initiative to go downstairs to be a welcome.

"Mingxiang, this pair of glamorous and colorful sisters are also famous in Shanghai, and they can satisfy the dark psychology of some men, why, are you going to pry Chen Gongbo's corner and take them to your side?" Ji Ji walked in and said with a smile.

"You, think about everything in a bad way, is my psyche so dark? Although sister flowers are indeed very attractive, how can they be compared to you, a beautiful woman in the Gone with the Wind, I have you now, isn't it enough? Chen Mingxiang put down his chopsticks and said.

"I know that if you say something good, you can take advantage of it, and once you come to the truth, you will be like a frightened rabbit, and you can slip away faster than anyone else, and I will bear a false name in vain."

"The whole Shanghai market is saying that you are angry at the crown and are red-faced, Wang Zhen is a beautiful lady, but she is famous in Shanghai, I don't know how many women are envying her!" Ji Ji's tone was a little sour.

"You see, I knew that I wouldn't dip it in vinegar when I ate xiaolongbao, it sounds a little sour, who has ever seen a dignified black cat, it can also be turned into a vinegar jar, Wang Zhen and I have no reputation, why do you force it!" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
