A freighter slowly approached the wharf, and Li Zhendong, the captain of the transportation detachment of Huatong Trading Company, who was waiting here, hurriedly commanded the coolies at the wharf to move the tobacco leaves off the ship and load them onto the truck.

Originally, all kinds of porters and coachmen in ports and wharves have been controlled by the Qing Gang for many years, but Chen Mingxiang and Zhang Xiaolin are quite incompatible, which is something that Shanghai knows well.

After Zhang Xiaolin was killed by the military commanders, Chen Mingxiang used the power of the military police headquarters to monopolize the territory of the 16th Pu Wharf in the name of the inspection team and the Huatong Trading Company, and the specific person in charge was Li Zhendong.

The family is all counting on Chen Mingxiang, Xue Lin is the accountant of pharmacies and clinics, and Xue Xiaopeng is the leader of the small secret agents on the street, and there is no problem with loyalty.

The coolies also like Li Zhendong to be in charge, no one beats or scolds, the high salary is fast, and occasionally a small welfare can be dropped, so it is sent to Chen Mingxiang Lisheng Ancestral Hall.

There were four people in the cabin, one in the front in a suit and leather shoes, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and carrying a briefcase in his hand.

Walking side by side was a woman, wearing a pale yellow cheongsam, with a slender and curvaceous figure, fair and moist skin, just wearing a pair of small sunglasses, in addition to a small handbag, and holding a small sandalwood folding fan.

The two in the back are wearing tunics and leather boots, burly and strong, and at a glance they know that they are the identities of the entourage, or bodyguards.

"Who are these four people, why is the captain of the gendarmerie squad smiling as if he has seen his father?" An agent from the first department of the Secret Service Headquarters said in a low voice.

After getting the news of Nanzao Yunzi, Wan Lilang sent all his spies out to monitor strangers entering Shanghai at various gates, and the Sixteen Pu Wharf was the top priority.

"Why did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? Didn't you see the big bag carried down from the boat, with the words Xuchang tobacco written on it? It must be the tobacco purchased by Huatong Trading Company for the tobacco factory, and the Bund brand cigarettes you smoke are the Xuchang tobacco leaves used. ”

"You kid need to pay for cigarettes yourself, and the gendarmerie command is free to enjoy, why don't you give a smile when you see the supplier coming? Just do your thing, don't be blind, anger this company, and the gendarmerie command should treat you to a big meal! A small leader said.

Behind the scenes of Huatong Trading Company is the Japanese Military Police Command in Shanghai, who dares to find uncomfortable and spy on this company's big customers?

Li Zhendong drove the car and sent the four of them to rest in the garden house of the Bank of China, the supplier of the cigarette factory, who is eligible to receive such treatment.

"The company we cooperate with is too hard in Shanghai, and even such a huge industry as the Bank of China can also be owned as its own, no wonder Boss Dai attaches so much importance to this Chen Mingxiang, I saw when I entered the gate just now, there was actually a Japanese military police standing guard." The woman with the little sunglasses said with a smile.

"Chen Mingxiang's energy is even more terrifying than you can imagine, most of the smuggling transactions of our Military Command Bureau are completed by him, oh, you should know this matter better than me." The man in the suit said.

This is precisely the special commissioner sent to Shanghai by the Military Unification Bureau, and it is also an acquaintance that Chen Mingxiang once met, Major General Dai Xingbing, this woman is called Li Li, and she is the deputy chief of the audit section of the Seventh Division of the bureau headquarters, and is specially responsible for examining and approving the reimbursement of expenses in various sub-districts and provincial stations.

Li Li is responsible for checking the accounts of the first district of Shanghai, contacting the central accountant and the accountant of the first district of Shanghai, recording the stations of each major team and each intelligence group, as well as all the leased properties in Shanghai, and the general list of personnel.

Dai Xingbing's task was to visit the stations of each brigade and intelligence group one by one to verify whether these situations were true, and then sort out detailed information and transfer it to his subordinate station as the basis for carrying out rescue in an emergency.

This also proves that Boss Dai is already very uneasy about Chen Gongshu, and the important purpose of coming to Shanghai this time is to prepare for the successor to take over the first district of Shanghai.

"The profits generated from the smuggling transaction with the Huatong Trading Company account for more than 70 percent of the total funding quota of the bureau headquarters, and are the largest source of revenue for the Military Control Bureau at present."

"This time I came to Shanghai, Boss Dai also gave a task, according to the request of the bureau headquarters, Huatong Trading Company will pay a large amount of foreign exchange to the bureau headquarters as payment, and an agent codenamed Mingyue will hand over the foreign exchange to me to take back to the mountain city." Li Li said.

The Seventh Division was responsible for all finance-related work, and she knew better than anyone the importance of Huatong Trading Company, and without the monthly trading profits of up to one million, the Military Control Bureau would simply not be able to support the huge expenses.

"Mingyue is the liaison between the bureau headquarters and the smuggling business of Huatong Trading Company, her cover identity is Chen Mingxiang's lover, she and the department she leads, only accept the personal command of Boss Dai of the bureau headquarters, and obtain funds for the bureau headquarters, Chen Gongshu and Shanghai District 1 know nothing about this."

"This is the top secret of the bureau headquarters, only you know it, and you are not allowed to leak a word to the outside world, I want to remind you that the consequences are more serious than you imagined."

"You know all the business, let's talk about some light topics, stay one more day before leaving, let Mingyue take you shopping, buy some scarce luxury goods in the mountain city, such as perfumes, cosmetics, dresses, etc., which is considered the benefit of this mission."

"As the main tobacco supplier of the tobacco factory, I heard from the boss that Chen Mingxiang has always been very generous to customers, and he is likely to pay this account for you." Dai Xingbing said.

Even if it is the most important subordinate to himself, Dai Li will not expose Chen Mingxiang's identity, and try every means to cover it up and mislead, and Mingyue is an agent who can be known from a small range.

The definition of her is not to collect intelligence, but to be specifically responsible for contacting Chen Mingxiang, an agent of the military smuggling trade!

Mingyue's duty is to lurk beside Chen Mingxiang, always pay attention to the progress of each transaction, and also collect special payments, such as foreign exchange.

"Why not develop Chen Mingxiang to enter the military system? With his status and status in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, he will become a very valuable insider. Li Li asked with a smile.

She is indeed very happy, the mountain city is in the southwest, at present, due to the shortage of materials for the blockade of the Japanese army, the luxury goods used by women are even more rare, and someone pays for herself, how can she not be happy about such a good thing?

The vast majority of women can't resist the temptation to go shopping, and in the eyes of men, those so-called luxury consumer goods are too lazy to look at them, but they are a part of life, and if they have the slightest conditions, they must satisfy their inner desires.

"Not just anyone is suitable for entering this industry, Chen Mingxiang is very sociable, has extremely strong connections in Shanghai, and is highly valued by the Japanese army stationed in Shanghai and the puppet Shanghai special city government, and he has many positions."

"But he rejects the profession of an agent, although he is in the secret service headquarters, he is only a temporary position, and he hides when he encounters intelligence and operations, and the bureau headquarters still hopes to use his ability in business and trade, after all, funding is the lifeblood of our intelligence agency." Dai Xingbing said.
