Chapter 500 Risks and Opportunities V

Looking at the two large open leather boxes, which were full of dollars, black on the front and green on the back, even Major General Kinoshita Eichi felt dazzled, and even appeared for a short period of sluggishness.

At this time, the value of the dollar was very high, and only a very few people could see so many dollars, and the gendarmerie command released twenty-eight businessmen, and the ransom was as high as one hundred and forty thousand dollars, worth tens of millions of yen!

"The ransom of $50,000 per person, this thing is done beautifully, since you are the one who handled it, take $20,000 per person, and keep the rest!" Kinoshita Eichi said with a smile.

Without Chen Mingxiang, an intermediary between the two sides, the Military Police Command would never have reaped such benefits, and not only would British and American businessmen not have contact with the Japanese side, but it would also be wishful thinking to send people away under the nose of the Marine Corps Command.

But the Marines want to send people away, which is somewhat troublesome, and so many famous businessmen have disappeared overnight, and there will definitely be people who will inquire about them.

Half of the benefits given to the gendarmerie command, once the two families agree on the same statement, unless the base camp is determined to investigate, it can only be stopped.

Anyway, those merchants didn't take their property with them, so is it okay to run a few people?

Chen Mingxiang did not refuse this time, he understood that Kinoshita Rongshi was willing to give him so many dividends, just to gag him, and the rest of the 840,000 US dollars, this old devil must be swallowed alone, and he still has to do a good job of finishing the work.

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency General, I have given red envelopes to all the imperial troops participating in the operation this time, and if there is no movement in two days, I will give double red envelopes." Chen Mingxiang said respectfully.

"I'm still very relieved that you can do things, and when the Gendarmerie Command takes over the public concession area, it won't be less of your benefits."

"In addition, I will give you the certificate of the gendarmerie headquarters for those properties, warehouses and shops that you have demarcated, and they will not be confiscated by those of the hostile property disposal committee." Major General Kinoshita Eichi nodded and said, looking quite satisfied.

In the Public Concession, the bulk industries of the British and American merchants, such as utilities such as electricity, telephones, running water, and bus companies, and businesses such as hotels, inns, cinemas, racetracks, sea vessels, and apartments, as well as docks and factories, were not controlled even by the Gendarmerie Command.

In fact, long before the start of the war, the relevant institutions of the army, navy, foreign ministry, and Xingyayuan stationed in Shanghai had already been distributed, and the military police headquarters could not get their hands on it.

However, for the large number of residences, shops and ancillary things in the concession, the military police headquarters still has a certain degree of flexibility, after all, the number is too large to digest for a while.

Some of these houses and shops will be entrusted to Japanese merchants, and some will be distributed to Japanese expatriates to live and operate, of course, those who are related, especially the Japanese military officers who have been discharged and disabled, and the Japanese ronin who have made "contributions".

"It is the honor and responsibility of my subordinates to serve His Excellency the General, but if there is any gain, I will naturally express my gratitude to His Excellency the General." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

The matter of the military police headquarters was completed, and then he drove to the headquarters of the Marine Corps, and within ten minutes, two generals and several officers involved in the matter, as well as Kodama and Shifu, a group of people went to a Japanese restaurant in Hongkou to eat and drink.

It's still more comfortable to deal with the Japanese Navy, and when you see the money, you put out a tuna sashimi, which is like the people in the gendarmerie headquarters, who belong to Pixiu, and they are not even willing to have a meal!

"The navy promised you ships, you can choose tomorrow, this time more than 200 merchant ships were captured, I can't give you the large tonnage, the Japanese shipping companies are keeping a close eye on it, those guys who can only pick up ready-made, they have been running to the front fleet headquarters since yesterday, and they want to salvage them in a net."

"I explained to the first commander of Guhe Peak, I heard that you need a boat, and he made an exception to agree to this matter, which is not a small face."

"Considering that you may go overseas to do material transportation in the future, the headquarters will give you a 5,000-ton one in the form of a lease, sell you four 2,000-ton ones at a low price, $50,000 each, and four small cargo ships under 1,000 tons, and $10,000 each." Lieutenant General Makita said.

This price can be said to be very low, anyway, the Japanese Navy also grabbed it, as for why the loot can be sold to Chen Mingxiang, that is an internal matter of the Navy.

The most important thing is that the navy hopes that Chen Mingxiang will continue to provide strategic materials, and if there is no previous "contribution", there is no need to think about it.

Why did Chen Mingxiang buy a boat?

In the past, the water transportation between the mountain city and the mountain city mainly relied on British and American merchant ships, and a small number of local ships, but now the Japanese have robbed all the ships of British and American merchants, and future transportation has become a problem.

However, Chen Mingxiang bought the ship but did not pay a penny himself, and the dividends of the Marine Corps Command were indeed not as much as those of the Military Police Command, and each person gave 10,000 US dollars, and after buying the ship and paying the lease fee, there were still 20,000 US dollars left.

However, this guy has a fleet in the blink of an eye, or a military cargo ship hanging under the Marine Corps headquarters, all the docks do not have to pay any fees, and they still enjoy protection when they meet the Japanese Navy, how much is it worth?

"Your Excellency General, I have been taken care of by you in the past, and the naval atmosphere has always been incorruptible, and I usually don't give you anything, I heard that you are going to return to China to take up your post recently, and I don't have any gifts that I can handle, and this 20,000 US dollars should be regarded as the travel expenses I gave you." Chen Mingxiang returned to the command department and finished the money, and then handed over the money to the outgoing Major General Songzhi.

This move was immediately appreciated by a group of people in the Marine Corps Command, Major General Songzhi is a person who has returned to China, and it is estimated that the possibility of being transferred to the reserve is very large, and it will be of little use to Chen Mingxiang in the future, and he can still do this under such circumstances, which is indeed very rare, beyond their imagination.

Everyone also thought that if they had such a day, Chen Mingxiang might do the same, such a person must make good friends and not take the money in his eyes.

"Mingxiang, as you said, General Yingzuo of the Mei organ has officially proposed to Chairman Wang that in order to facilitate the work of clearing the township, Li Shiqun should be the chairman of Su Province, and Chairman Wang also agreed. Ding Mocun said with a smile.

Chen Mingxiang obtained unimaginable huge benefits from the Japanese army's military operations to occupy the concession, and anyway, he did not make money from the ordinary people of his own country, and he did not have any psychological burden.

As soon as I returned home from the Marine Corps headquarters, I received a call from Ding Mo Village, saying a news that was not news.
