Although Chen Gongbo's attitude seemed to be very resolute, Chen Mingxiang couldn't take such words seriously, since Mo Guokang said it, if he didn't give her some benefits from his own coal company, he would definitely offend her.

As the mayor's secretary, Mo Guokang, relying on being Chen Gongbo's lover, took bribes on a large scale, meddled in finance and personnel, and took over the projects of the municipal government, to be honest, she was not short of money at all.

But her greedy personality makes her not miss any opportunity to make money, and once she finds something that she can meddle in, she will not hesitate to reach out.

The problem is, it's not the right occasion today!

If it was in her office or at home, it didn't matter if she discussed such a topic, this kind of thing was not a problem in private, but it was really inappropriate to make a request in front of Chen Gongbo.

Chen Gongbo is a figure who once served as a military and political leader of the Shancheng government and governed Jiangxi Province, no matter how used to her, she is also a dignified mayor, and she has to have an image and a face

Face.

"Your Excellency the Mayor said that the coal industry is a huge industrial chain for the people's livelihood demand market in Shanghai. When my coal company is up and running, I really need some wholesalers as an intermediate link, and there will definitely be a lot of people who will ask me for benefits when the time comes. ”

"Those government officials with old qualifications in the city government have a very vicious vision, and they may not see anyone when they contribute, and when they start to make profits, they will rely on their old qualifications and rely on the old to come to the door to ask for a piece of the cake, and I also feel a headache for this group of people."

"Since Secretary Mo is willing to help me share part of the pressure, I can't ask for it, I think it's decided, Secretary Mo will first submit a company registration application to the Social Bureau, prepare a part of the deposit, and then wait for my news!"

"It will take more than a month for the coal company to start operating and officially put into operation, and then to rush the goods into the market, and after two days, when the municipal government and the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Institute negotiate well, I will go to Jincheng to finalize the coal problem." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

Seeing that Mo Guokang couldn't get off the stage, he hurriedly spoke out to relieve the siege, this woman is an important link for him to maintain a close relationship with Chen Gongbo, and he must not be offended.

Isn't it just a little income from selling briquettes, with the help of Mo Guokang, the coal subsidies of the municipal government will continue to enter his wallet, eating people's mouths and taking people's hands short, Chen Gongbo can't watch Mo Guokang make money and not give himself a little return, right?

According to Chen Mingxiang's plan, not only Mo Guokang, but also Zhuoxian and He Bingxian sisters also have to open a few briquette shops in Shanghai, which is always an income, and it is not difficult to make money with this thing, the key is to see whether the supply is sufficient and whether the price is reasonable.

Chen Mingxiang never makes a loss-making business, first of all, as long as Chen Gongbo's three lovers are involved in the middle and downstream links of his coal company, this is equivalent to Chen Gongbo's full support, and there is no principled support, otherwise, his appearance as the mayor will be too ugly.

Secondly, those government officials in Shanghai have to open their mouths sooner or later to participate in the briquette sales business, and they can collect money while sitting, can they give up?

Don't look at the coal industry in the hands of the Japanese, they don't even dare to let out a fart, but in their own hands, they really dare to speak, and they will not feel embarrassed at all.

At this time, Chen Gongbo had to stand up and support himself, warning this group of people not to go too far, and everything must be done according to the rules.

Chen Mingxiang has already calculated in the blink of an eye, this group of people wants to buy goods, so they will go to Mo Guokang's wholesale company, rely on the old and sell the old, you try it in front of Mo Guokang?

"Mingxiang, don't worry, these city government officials want to share a piece of profit, you just let them go to my wholesale company to get the goods, I want to see which of them dares to twitter."

"But I think that if you want to get the support of the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy as soon as possible to facilitate our business, the current fire is not fierce enough, you have to add more fire, so I will say hello and let the newspapers in Shanghai create public opinion and put pressure on the Japanese."

"In fact, the newspaper has long planned to report on this matter, and the coal shortage is not news, but the people are very concerned about this kind of thing related to their own interests, and it would be better to let a few newspapers interview the city government." Mo Guokang said with a smile.

I like to deal with such smart people, you don't have to say anything, people know what to do! Although some of the benefits were shared, people really contributed ideas and efforts.

The two finalized the matter in front of Chen Gongbo, but as a result, Chen Gongbo was drinking tea and smoking on the side, as if it had nothing to do with him at all, this is acquiescence!

Subsequently, the major newspapers in Shanghai began to fiercely criticize the current coal shortage, and could not open fire on the Japanese, but only said that the businessmen of Dazhonglian Coal had a large number of briquette resources, but hoarded Juqi and wanted to make a windfall by raising prices, resulting in a serious shortage of briquettes in Shanghai, which had a serious impact on the lives of the citizens.

The propaganda department of the city government received a hint from Mo Guokang and pretended to be deaf and dumb about the news coverage of the coal shortage, as long as it was not aimed at the Japanese alone, and the sharp words were not ignored at all, which was close to an indulgent attitude.

Chen Gongbo was "interviewed" by two large newspapers in Shanghai, appealing to the citizens on the Japanese side of the Coal Coal Federation and the Dazhonglian Coal Company to release briquettes on the market as soon as possible, bring down prices, reverse this dangerous situation, and maintain the stability of social order.

The municipal government protested again to the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy, and exchanged views with the Consulate General in Shanghai.

In order to arouse the attention of the Japanese side, Chen Gongbo believed that it was not enough for the city government to come forward, and he made a special phone call to ask Wang Jingwei of Jinling to discuss this issue with the Mei organ.

Is Wang's puppet government really so kind?

Wrong, this is first of all related to the ruling foundation of Wang's puppet government, and you must know that the status of the Shanghai market is very important, and it is half the sky of fiscal revenue, and there must be no chaos here.

Moreover, in essence, the briquette issue is just an excuse, but a superficial phenomenon, and this is a confrontation between the Wang puppet government and the Japanese government on the material control in the occupied areas!

What is material control? It is the simplest monopoly, grasping the distribution of materials, and everyone knows that the benefits generated by monopoly are the greatest.

"Chen Jun, the problem of coal shortage in Shanghai is getting bigger and bigger, Chairman Wang even found General Matsui to complain, the matter alarmed the cabinet, the headquarters of the Koyain in Tokyo, and ordered me to eliminate the influence as soon as possible and stabilize the social order in Shanghai, which will affect the interests of the empire."

"I heard General Kinoshita say that you plan to meddle in the coal industry in Shanghai, forcibly introduce competition, and change this situation, so I will go to Beiping with you to meet with Minister Shiozawa Qingxuan of the North China Liaison Department, and finalize this matter, and the coal will be transported from the Kailuan Coal Mine to Shanghai from Jincheng Port." Taiji Ota said.
