"Brother, whether it is Jinling or the city government, many people complain that I favor you, but when it comes to being a person, they are too far behind you!"

"You have developed well this year, and the business is getting bigger and bigger, and I am happy for you, and the city government has not given you too many affairs."

"The situation next year will be much better than this year, I know that you are well-informed, and it is estimated that you already know the content of the Imperial Conference, our Jinling government will take back some of its rights next year, and at the same time put an end to the occupation of our national territory by the great powers, and history will remember our exploits!" Chen Gongbo said with a smile.

This is in the villa of the two sisters He Zhuoxian and He Bingxian, Chen Mingxiang gave Chen Gongbo wild ginseng and deer antler slices, and the two sisters of the He family naturally gave sable skin and lynx skin.

In order to deepen his personal relationship with Chen Gongbo and get more support from the municipal government in the coming year, Chen Mingxiang specially gave Chen Gongbo 100,000 US dollars, which is not a small amount of money, and the value of the currency is quite amazing when converted into China Reserve Bonds.

With Chen Mingxiang's shot, Chen Gongbo also felt that he was not wrong, the municipal government did not help anything at all, and he took so much "heart", and he felt a little ashamed.

"Your Excellency the Mayor is very right, to be able to cancel the concession and take back the administrative power, this is indeed a dazzling achievement in the annals of history, and it is also the most important stroke in life, I have to congratulate you, and celebrate it on New Year's Day." Chen Mingxiang said.

Perhaps, in the hearts of these big traitors, formally recovering the administrative power of the concession and canceling this shameful name, this is an achievement worth showing off.

They are not only deceiving the people, but also deceiving themselves, just like self-hypnosis, what will the result become, do they really have no points in their hearts?

"Director Chen, the entire Shanghai market says that you have made a fortune this year, especially with the Kwantung Army, and the goods can fill a fleet at one time, and it is estimated that there are many people who want to talk to you during the New Year, and they are eyeing the monopoly of coal and salt." He Zhuoxian said with a smile.

"You gave the distribution right of coal to Mo Guokang, and she gave favors to important officials of several municipal governments, but the number is limited after all, and there are many people who look at it, but Mo Guokang is very strong, and the people who get the benefits also join forces, and they are helpless."

"Our two sisters have you to take care of, and they have opened two salt shops in the French Concession, which have not yet opened, and some people have already said that they also want to get the monopoly right." He Bingxian said.

The sale of control materials, which is a business of sitting and collecting money, is a personal will be tempted, especially those city officials with high seniority and power, as well as local wealthy businessmen, the coal industry can no longer interfere, Chen Mingxiang gave Mo Guokang the right to wholesale, which is to plug the mouths of these people.

But the monopoly of salt has aroused the covetousness of these people, the good things in the world, you can't let Chen Mingxiang take it alone, you eat meat, and you have to share some soup for everyone to drink, don't you know the truth that eating alone is not fat?

The two sisters are talking to Chen Gongbo, Chen Mingxiang gave them a way to make money, and they also took on a lot of pressure, at a critical time, you have to come out to support Chen Mingxiang!

"These rumors are not groundless, I am relatively smooth in business this year, and the overwhelmed textile mills have begun to withdraw funds one after another, in addition to the business with the Jiang Tong District, and the Kwantung Army General Headquarters has cooperated, to be honest, it does make a lot of money."

"But the problem is that Huatong Trading Company is mine, but I can get up to 30% of the profits generated. What is the nature of smuggling with the Military Command Bureau of the Chiang Tong District? Behind the manipulation is actually the Military Police Command and the Garrison Command, as well as the Mei Organ and the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy, and the water is deep! ”

"It's not easy to go to the goods, all the gods have to be in place, and they have to withstand the pressure from the Japanese chaebol, otherwise there will be problems, I earn more and spend more, and bear this false name."

"It's coming to the end of the year soon, how many people are looking at me, just the Japanese garrison in Shanghai and the major offices, without a million dollars of money and things, are not considered to have passed, and what about foreign countries, what about North China, they all have to be meaningful, right?" Chen Mingxiang said with a wry smile.

One million US dollars is nearly 30 million Chinese reserve bonds, and the black market is this price, when Chen Mingxiang said it, several people in the field were stunned.

It's just that there are so many expenses during the New Year, so what about the daily maintenance?

Chen Mingxiang is not empty-handed every time he goes out, he always has to bring something to the related households, this time the tonic and fur are not to mention, some time ago Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs were transported to Shanghai in a truck.

Tea and cigarettes were provided free of charge to the military police headquarters, various agencies stationed in Shanghai, and high-ranking officials of the Japanese Navy and Army Headquarters in Shanghai.

"Brother, it's really not easy for you to make some money! But don't worry, as long as I am here, these people in Shanghai will not be able to turn the sky upside down! Chen Gongbo felt that Chen Mingxiang had refreshed his understanding of the world, which was also crazy.

"Aren't outsiders, I can put it bluntly if I have something to say, to be able to eat in Jinling government and Shanghai, all thanks to the support of His Excellency the mayor, with the help of coal, your reputation in Shanghai is now rising in a straight line, and when the concession is recovered next year, it will be a new peak, it can be said that all kinds of halos are gathered in one, the more times like this, the more we want to add icing on the cake."

"But trouble is coming soon, since Shanghai was occupied by the Japanese army, the situation is getting worse day by day, especially in terms of food, there are people starving to death every day, and the coffins in the coffin shop are not enough."

"Spring, summer and autumn can still hold on, in winter, those homeless people who don't even have a piece of cotton clothing, and no food, can't hold it at all, resulting in starvation everywhere, which is bound to affect the image of the city government, public opinion is very unfavorable to us, I think we have to take precautions!" Chen Mingxiang said.

"You're right, food has always been a major issue that plagues the city government, do you have any specific ideas, you can discuss it." Chen Gongbo nodded incessantly when he heard this.

"Last year, the municipal government disaster relief committee was set up to gather some of the victims in the abandoned factory area in the Zhabei area, which is now a shanty town, and I think this work will be normalized and will continue this year."

"As long as we do it, the reporter will have a subject to write about, and as for what can be done, it is also within our means, and I will find a way to relieve the food, and the city government will allocate a little financial subsidy." Chen Mingxiang said.

This is Chen Mingxiang's main purpose to find Chen Gongbo, under the banner of gathering the hearts of the people for him, to help the victims of the disaster openly, he wants to use this matter to do something for the people, and by the way, to gain some good reputation for himself, the people's eyes are not blind, after a long time, they naturally know what is going on.

Naturally, the Japanese side will not block this kind of thing, but on the contrary, it will give it a certain amount of support, because the top level will implement a new policy, and the wind direction will change.

Besides, this is not a long-term act, but the city government is using the disaster victims to make a name for themselves, and the impact is negligible, as long as the interests of the Japanese are not touched, everything can be pretended not to be seen.
