Chapter 406: Convergence Channels

After sending Ding Mo Village away, Chen Mingxiang has been considering the information released by the Mei Agency, and he believes that the controversy and caution at this stage will not affect the final result.

At a reception to celebrate the establishment of the Foreign Affairs Office, Chen Mingxiang heard from the consul of the US Consulate General in Shanghai about the inside story of the diplomatic talks between Japan and the United States.

The US Government has demanded that the Japanese Government withdraw its troops from China and Southeast Asia, refrain from interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, and refrain from using force in the Pacific region.

Since the signing of the non-aggression pact between Japan and the Soviet Union, the US Government has gradually lost patience and has begun to harden its attitude when it saw the failure of its appeasement policy.

When the Japanese army entered the northern part of the French Indochina region, the United States, Great Britain and the Netherlands were planning to impose a severe trade embargo on Japan, cut off the oil and steel on which the war depended so much, and force the opponent to withdraw from Southeast Asia to protect their own interests.

Chen Mingxiang was sure that as long as the Japanese army dared to set foot in the southern part of the French Indochina region, the US government would inevitably implement the sanctions plan, which was the best deep-water port Cam Ranh Bay, and the Japanese navy could use it as a base to attack most countries in Southeast Asia.

"Ichiro Hirai seems to be really anxious, it is estimated that the representatives of the Japanese chaebol in Shanghai have exerted great pressure on him, and at first he was still in the office and did not show up, but in the past four or five days, he has not been embarrassed, and he has visited door to door with Japanese local specialties."

"I've heard that the smugglers drink and dance with a few of the heads of the Enforcement Section every night, and give them a lot of valuable gifts, but these guys never come to you, isn't it strange?" Nina Liu quickly found out the news.

For several days in a row, Chen Mingxiang stayed in the office of the director of the inspection office of the secret service headquarters, so that Liu Nina and Xu Caili were still on duty in the inspection team, wanting to see Ichiro Hirai's movements.

"It's not surprising, first of all, the inspection team's bullshit law enforcement brigade was disbanded, and they didn't know what was going on, and secondly, Ichiro Hirai coerced and lured them, and he had no idea in his heart, and he wanted to find out my attitude through the enforcement department, which will test the wisdom of the enforcement department." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

Qin Hongtao and Song Bohai are both his henchmen, and they are both smart people, since they do this, they must have their considerations.

The added value that the Executive Section brings, that is, the wealth that comes from power, comes entirely from the degree of authority he has, and he is not so bad that he cannot even trust either of them.

In other words, since he can take them power, he can naturally take it back, but in a word, he wants to see the ability of the two of them to do things.

"Boss, those smugglers have asked our enforcement section to ask you for instructions, and the Japanese advisers of the inspection team have come to visit you and asked them to resume the exchange of materials with Jiang Tong as soon as possible."

"Ichiro Hirai proposed that Japanese companies will buy the goods of each firm at the market price, and will no longer lower the price, and as long as the goods are sold to Japanese companies, and the inspection team will be unimpeded at all gates, can they start to sell goods?" Qin Hongtao said with a smile.

Ichiro Hirai, the Japanese adviser to the inspection team, personally visited the door, and of course the smugglers did not dare to see it, because after all, they were Japanese, and they could do anything in a hurry.

Besides, after such a long period of stop trading, they can't bear it anymore, now is a good time for smuggling, as long as the goods from the Guotong area are transported to Shanghai, they can immediately earn several times more than ten times the profit, who still has a grudge against money?

"Ask me what I'm doing, I'm not their own father, a bunch of things that don't remember to eat and fight, and surrender with a verbal promise?" Chen Mingxiang said angrily.

Huatong Trading Company has many lines, American merchants, British merchants, Japanese military and German merchants, which requires a lot of resources as support, therefore, he has his own plans for the smuggling transactions of the entire Shanghai market, which must be under his control.

The reason why Ichiro Hirai was cleaned up was to show his strength to the smugglers, and if he didn't follow me, he wouldn't even be able to drink a mouthful of soup, so be careful that he would lose all his money!

Now he is preoccupied with such a national event as the war between Japan and the United States, and he has no heart to care about the smugglers' bad things for the time being.

"Boss, you are the leading overlord of our smuggling industry in Shanghai, of course they have to listen to you, to put it mildly, you are more effective than their own father!"

"Our executive department has already released the news, and if you hadn't asked the senior Japanese generals to come forward to suppress the inspection team, the Japanese advisers would have sent them to prison a long time ago, so tonight in the old hotel, everyone invited you to come over for a meal."

"I also heard that they have prepared a generous gift for you, thank you for helping to get the goods back and punish the Japanese ronin for doing evil." Song Bohai said.

Chen Mingxiang's Huatong Trading Company occupies a 30% share of smuggled goods in Shanghai and the Guotong District, and is the absolute boss.

In addition, he served in the city government and secret services, and also had the protection of the military police headquarters in Shanghai and the Marine Corps headquarters in Shanghai, and no matter how domineering the Japanese advisers were, they did not dare to touch his box of goods.

Some time ago, Chen Mingxiang asked the smugglers to stop shipping, and everyone listened to him, but they were robbed by the inspection team, and many people were dissatisfied with this, thinking that he was cheating his peers!

But it didn't come to pass, and within two days, the initiator, the Japanese consultant Ichiro Hirai, brought Japanese tea snacks to the door to make peace, which made a group of people think they were dreaming!

So this group of people dragged Song Bohai and Qin Hongtao to spend all day drinking, trying to find out the inside story of the matter, and when they accepted the banquet, the two revealed a news to them.

In order to take care of the interests of his colleagues, Chen Mingxiang used his personal connections to ask the generals of the Japanese army stationed in Shanghai to come forward to suppress the inspection team, otherwise, you will cry at home!

"The major firms have expressed their positions, and they will definitely obey the boss's orders in the future, and every private transaction with the national control area will have a share of your red!" Qin Hongtao said.

"I won't go to this banquet tonight, the two of you will be present on my behalf and tell them that the current heat is not enough, so drag it out first, don't say that you won't cooperate, just try to find a reason, when you can deliver the goods, and wait until I negotiate the conditions with the Japanese company."

"You have done a good job in this matter, and you have lived up to my expectations, and I asked them for half of the dividends as the funds for the executive department, don't put all the money in your own pockets, and give a little to the brothers under you, and besides, I only need gold and dollars." Chen Mingxiang said.

"Boss, what about the antique calligraphy, painting, gold and silver jewelry they prepared for you?" Song Bohai asked.

"Send it to my house on Yuyuan Road, I'll clean up at home tomorrow, I haven't lived at home for a long time." Chen Mingxiang thought for a while and said.
