Chapter 733: Weighing and Calculating
Of course, there is no need to report the transaction between Huatong Trading Company and the Kwantung Army Command to Chen Gongbo, it has nothing to do with it, but the matter of briquettes must be reported in detail.
He is also a high-ranking official of Wang's puppet government, whether he has real power or not, anyway, the level has reached the special officer, and the position will change, and the level can no longer be promoted, staring at Chen Gongbo and secretly contacting Zhou Gaohai, this is his strategy.
That night, Chen Mingxiang went to Chen Gongbo's "small home" to report work, that is, the home of the secretary Mo Guokang, who snubbed his dignified and virtuous wife, and lived in his lover's house in a bright and bright manner, what is this called!
As early as mid-August, Chen Gongbo and Lieutenant General Nobuo Kobayashi, commander of the 60th Division of the Japanese Army, signed an agreement on the work of clearing townships in Shanghai.
Major General Shizaburo Miyazaki, head of the Japanese Army's special service in Shanghai, announced that starting from 1 September, the Shanghai branch of the Qingxiang Committee will carry out the cleansing of townships in the three areas of Nanhui, Fengxian, and Beiqiao.
Chen Gongbo personally served as the chairman of the Shanghai branch of the Qingxiang Committee, and the directors of the subordinate bureaus served as members, and the Qingxiang Headquarters was formed, with the chief of security of the Municipal Security Command serving as the commander-in-chief.
Three special district offices, 19 sub-district offices, and three special zone lockdown management offices have been set up, and lockdown training courses for armor protection personnel have been set up.
Using the bamboo purchased by Huatong Trading Company, a 167-kilometer long bamboo fence blockade line was built in the Qingxiang area, and 41 checkpoints and inspection posts were set up to strictly inspect pedestrians, vehicles, and materials entering and leaving the Qingxiang area.
"Mingxiang, I should call you Director Chen now, the director of the Police Department of the Ministry of the Interior, the highest person in charge of the national police, when will you have a meal?" Mo Guokang said with a smile.
"Secretary Mo made fun of me, isn't it easy for me to have a dinner? I, the chief of police, is also a false title, so don't mention it! ”
"Not to mention the provincial police departments and police stations in various places, even in their own yamen, it is also sleeping with one eye open, and the undercurrent is surging!" Chen Mingxiang said with a wry smile.
"The deputy directors and section chiefs of the Ministry of the Interior who hold real power are all old subordinates brought by Chen Qun, and you have just taken office, and it is really difficult to direct them. But you are my subordinate, if anyone is embarrassed, you tell me, I can still stand up for you for this little thing in the ministry. Chen Gongbo smiled and said.
Of course, he knows the background of the Ministry of the Interior, and belongs to the group of people who belong to the original Restoration Government, but Chen Mingxiang is his confidant, and he can't manage the affairs of the Police Department, and the police system in various places is controlled by the gendarmerie, but it is not difficult to deal with a few officials in the yamen, and the number two person in the dignified Jinling government, if he doesn't even have this ability, he will simply hit his head and die.
"Mingxiang, since His Excellency the Mayor has spoken, the economic and material part of the work of Qingxiang will be handed over to the two of us to be responsible, then you need to worry about the specific affairs, I am busy with the official affairs of the secretary's office every day, and I really can't spare much time."
"Let's do a division of labor, if those government officials in the public office are not honest, I will deal with them, but you are responsible for the movement and sale of materials, what do you think?" Mo Guokang said with a smile.
This is when Chen Mingxiang said goodbye and left, she personally went out to see him in the car, and simply made the matter of sharing the spoils clear. is a very straightforward distribution of spoils, and there is no need to be embarrassed, with Chen Mingxiang's shrewdness, I am afraid that I would have guessed what was going on.
Chen Mingxiang is relatively familiar with the eight major bureaus directly under the municipal government, but he basically has no contact with the districts and counties below, and he is not familiar with it at all.
wanted to exchange the looted materials in the process of clearing the countryside for wealth, money and hard currency, she was too far behind Chen Mingxiang, and people started by playing this.
"This division of labor is very reasonable, I also hate dealing with those slippery guys, don't worry, I will never let you suffer, the military police headquarters and me, the implementation departments at all levels of the municipal government, you and the mayor, we are divided into three parts, we will go to Jinling tomorrow to do something, after I come back, I will start to straighten out the work of the material blockade management office."
"You must not forget, the 15th briquette is about to arrive in Shanghai, your coal company must be launched on the 14th, seize the time to do a good job of distribution, give you a quota of 50,000 quintals, you must ship according to 20 yuan, 25 yuan a load of sales, not a penny more, when the time comes, there will be Japanese military police supervision, so that the merchants do not make trouble themselves."
"The municipal government's subsidy for coal is 200 yuan per ton of briquettes, which is equal to 10 yuan per load of briquettes, and I will give you three yuan per load, which is 150,000 yuan per month, and at the end of the month, let the company's accountant go to the financial office of Huatong Trading Company to receive it." Chen Mingxiang said.
The price of coal given to him by the Kailuan Coal Mine in Phoenix City should be said to be very low compared with the current market price, because he is implementing the coal shortage solution strategy of the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy, not simply doing coal trading, just the price difference of this piece, Chen Mingxiang has earned all the expenses.
In fact, it doesn't matter if he doesn't want a penny of the 2 million central savings bonds given by the municipal government, the North China Liaison Department subsidizes 10 million Union Bank bonds, and the Central China Liaison Department subsidizes 600,000 US dollars per month.
But things can't be done, he understands Mo Guokang's greed very well, if this woman knows that she has so much preferential support, she really dares to open her mouth to herself!
Therefore, it is to make a fuss with the subsidy of the municipal government, give her three yuan, the price is very appropriate, and any more will bring trouble, and people's greed is endless.
"You can rest assured that I will do things, and I will definitely not delay the sale of briquettes, this is the most important job of the mayor at the moment, and I can't say anything about the chain, I can tell the weight." Mo Guokang said with a smile.
The income of the fixed 150,000 yuan in the reserve bonds every month is basically in line with her expectations, this is a lot of money earned in vain, at most it is to find two clerks to issue invoices and find an accountant to manage the accounts, how much money can it cost?
She is also a very smart woman, she doesn't dare to take the briquette as a child's play, Chen Gongbo wants to use this opportunity to win the hearts of the people and create the image of the special municipal government.
"This woman's ambition is not small, she actually dares to stretch out her hand to the blockade material management office, that is how many people have been forced to break down and sell their children and daughters, and how many bones have been stepped on in exchange for money, but it is stained with blood, won't you have nightmares in your hands?"
"It doesn't matter if you are the director, everyone understands that you are just a part-time job, besides, the Shancheng government and the underground party understand your hardships and last resort, but what about her? On the day of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, wouldn't her traitorous behavior be remembered for thousands of years? Wang Zhen couldn't figure it out.
