Chapter 528: The Wind Rises Two
"Brother Mingxiang, Sibao's death was too sudden, but something happened just after he arrived in Suzhou, and the secret service headquarters made people panic because of this, presumably in the past few days, you have heard a lot of words, right?" Mr. and Mrs. Li Shiqun came to the Bank of China.
This garden house was renovated by Chen Mingxiang at a great price, with a Western-style style, and the furniture and utensils are all foreign goods in the foreign company.
Wang Zhen naturally took on the responsibilities of the hostess, made a pot of tea for the two, and then sat on the side to talk to Ye Jiqing.
She was born in a big family in Jinling, and she received a good upbringing since she was a child, coupled with the influence of new education, her words and deeds have the demeanor of a new-style woman, and her elegant conversation has won Ye Jiqing's favor.
She also knows that Chen Mingxiang's lover is from everyone's beautiful background, and now she feels it personally, which is different from ordinary women, and how many generations of temperament have precipitated!
"Minister, since this matter can't be explained clearly, why should you pay attention to what others say? The more you rush to defend yourself, the more they kick their noses in the face, ignore them, and the matter quickly passes. Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
"The truth is indeed such a truth, and what is more of a headache now is another thing, the guard corps is now leaderless, and the four guards have just been buried, and several brigades are all in chaos."
"Although She Aizhen and Pan Tie are also maintaining the situation, they are obviously not as deterrent as the four guarantees, and in order to compete for territory and interests, this group of people quarrels every day, and even makes moves." Li Shiqun said.
In order to repay Wu Sibao's loyalty, he gave the most prosperous places in Shanghai to the guard corps, and if you purely talk about profits, a hundred action corps is not as good as a guard corps.
In the past, Wu Sibao led this group of ruffians and hooligans, this guy was black-hearted, and she Aizhen and Pan helped, the people in the guard corps were very honest, Wu Sibao really dared to kill.
Now that Wu Sibao is dead, those bastards who have been suppressed for a long time have begun to rebel, and they all want to get the fattest meat from the pot, and no brotherhood or face is as affordable as gold and silver.
"The Secret Service Headquarters is also full of talents right now, and if you arrange a general captain to restrain them, won't the matter be solved?" Chen Mingxiang didn't want to go up, he was afraid that he would be scolded by the people.
"Brother, let's be honest with you, I really don't have the right person, the action corps and the guard corps are incompatible, Lin Zhijiang and Zhang Jinlu are not suitable, and the rest of the capable ones are all responsible for opening up territory for the secret service headquarters, and they can't be withdrawn for the time being."
"I know you don't want to come into contact with this group of lawless bastards, but in terms of deterrence, there really isn't a second candidate, this time you have to share the burden for me, which can be regarded as a favor for me."
"You are wearing many positions now, and I will not increase your position, but issue an order, you are solely responsible for the guard corps, how to arrange for you to consider, I believe that no one dares to disobey you." Li Shiqun said.
all know that Chen Mingxiang likes to make money the most, and he is not very enthusiastic about power, and the guard corps was made stinky by Wu Sibao and others, so he naturally hid far away.
But the problem is that Li Shiqun really has no choice, Chen Mingxiang said something, that represents the meaning of the gendarmerie headquarters, this group of damn bastards dare not listen, and change to someone else, even Fu Yewen, the secretary general, is not qualified.
"The minister has said everything to this point, and if I don't agree, I don't know how to lift, so okay, I'll take over this mess for the time being." Chen Mingxiang said.
"Zhou Gaohai and Ding Mocun came to Shanghai this afternoon, and these two people are getting closer and closer." Li Shiqun said.
"Minister Zhou is going to make some big moves, right? I heard that the China Reserve Bill is about to replace the fiat currency, and the Ministry of Finance has been communicating with the Xingya Academy about this matter, but the proportion demanded by the Japanese is too high, and Minister Zhou resolutely refuses to agree, and the matter has been deadlocked for a long time. Chen Mingxiang said.
"Fiat currency cannot be circulated in Shanghai and surrounding provinces, but it can be circulated in Jiangtong District, brother, this is our opportunity!" Li Shiqun said with a smile.
Dare you come to me tonight, it's for the fiat currency thing, paralyzed, why did you say it earlier, do so much foreshadowing, idle eggs hurt?
The use of the Central Reserve Bills to exchange for fiat currency must be carried out in a bank, but Li Shiqun holds the financial power of Suzhou Province, and it is estimated that he also controls several banks, and the secret service headquarters has a Litai Bank in Shanghai.
The reason why the Japanese army agreed to replace fiat currency with the Central Reserve Bonds was that after occupying the public concession and the port city, the foreign exchange market of the Shancheng government was wiped out, and it was no longer possible to exchange foreign exchange with fiat currency, so they wanted to use the baseless Central Reserve Bonds as a tool to exploit and squeeze the Chinese people.
Once the use of fiat currency is banned, the Japanese army can use a large amount of fiat currency confiscated and exchanged to purchase strategic materials from the national control area, and it can also make the fiat currency fall sharply, this strategy is really extremely vicious.
"This is the minister's opportunity, how dare I join in this fun, besides, the fiat currency exchanged is at most allocated to me by the Japanese to purchase materials, and I don't have a private channel." Chen Mingxiang said.
"My opportunity is your chance, the channel of the Southeast Trading Company in Jiangtong District, how can there be a Huatong Trading Company, I will do something when I exchange, you will operate this matter."
"Using the Huatong Trading Company to do normal procurement, and transforming it into an exchange of materials through the Southeast Trading Company, we will share the benefits in half, but this matter must not let the Japanese get the news." Li Shiqun said with a smile.
How did the Secret Service Headquarters get funding?
Relying entirely on the smuggling trade of the Southeast Trading Company and the Kuomintang Autonomous Region, these materials needed by the Japanese army were transported to Shanghai, purchased by Japanese-funded enterprises, and converted into coins, which was also manipulated by the Mei organ.
Of course, Chen Mingxiang has to agree, he needs a large amount of materials to enter the National Control Area, and he also needs a large amount of funds to support the Military Control Bureau, since Li Shiqun is willing to pull him to make a fortune together, why not?
After Li Shiqun and his wife left, Chen Mingxiang lay down on the sofa very unimpressively, he didn't want something to happen, but Wang Zhen wanted to receive the telegram from the bureau headquarters.
"Boss Dai specially sent a commendation order for you to eliminate Wu Sibao, the executioner, with the help of the gold robbery, and appointed you as the colonel stationmaster of the Shanghai Municipal Station directly under the Military Control Bureau." A few minutes later, Wang Zhen went downstairs and said.
"You reported this little thing to Boss Dai?" Chen Mingxiang was a little reluctant.
"The directors of our two intelligence departments are both colonels, but you, the deputy station chief, are only a lieutenant colonel, if you don't make an excuse, Boss Dai will give you a promotion out of thin air, and the effect will be reduced." Wang Zhen gave him a blank look.
"It's just a job rank, the so-called colonel stationmaster, I really haven't put it in my eyes, when can I become the rank of colonel of the Quanxu Army, and actually serve as the stationmaster of the station directly under it, then it is called mixed capital!" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
