Chapter 989: The Situation Has Changed Again
By the time the three of them came down from the upper floor, more than an hour had passed, but the maids downstairs had not seen it, because they had been chased away because they were not tight-lipped. The two sisters give high salaries, red envelopes and gifts during the New Year's holidays, and it is not easy to find such a good job in this chaotic era.
While he was eating, Chen Gongbo came back, which of course he had called Bingxian to tell him. If it is about another man to come to the house, he is still a little awkward, as for Chen Mingxiang, he is not worried at all, speaking of which these two sisters are not as attractive as the black cat of Qi Ji.
"Sit and continue to eat, stand up and do what, don't be so polite with me, respect is not shown by these." Chen Gongbo sat at the dining table, and a maid hurriedly served him a bowl of rice.
"Mayor, I haven't been here for a long time to eat, the work has been a bit tedious recently, I can't spare time, just now I told my two sisters-in-law that I support them to open a tea trading house, specifically for the city government and subordinate agencies to supply, and the purchase will be sent from my tea factory." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
This is to make it clear that they want to send money to the two sisters, with Chen Gongbo's care, the government's tea must be purchased from the trading house they opened, the price is definitely not low, dozens of yuan a pound of tea is opened to hundreds of yuan, no one dares to ask, there is no problem to earn hundreds of thousands more a month.
This kind of trading is equivalent to sitting and collecting money, without spending any energy, and not afraid of settling accounts, let alone afraid that yamen at all levels will not buy it, which is indeed very suitable for the identity of the two sisters.
Hearing the little sister-in-law call her like this, the two sisters suddenly blushed, Chen Mingxiang sat opposite them, and one of them kicked Chen Mingxiang, and the little sister-in-law, bah, you can really scream.
"Brother Mingxiang bothered to consider their lives, I have to have a drink with you, I heard that you have contracted seven or eight tea farms in the entire Jiangnan, there are two large tea factories in Hangzhou and Suzhou, and the current sales on the market are Longjing tea, Biluochun, Qimen black tea, Enshi Yulu tea, Huangshan Maofeng tea and bamboo leaf green tea, and other more than a dozen kinds of tea, most of them are the goods you provide, the quality is very high and the taste is pure, and the Lu'an melon slices I drink every day are bought from your tea shop." Chen Gongbo nodded and said.
Chen Mingxiang not only gave him money, but also gave Mo Guokang a coal company, and opened a salt shop and a tea trading house for the two sisters.
"Mayor, can Chairman Wang come to Shanghai on time to attend the opening ceremony?" Chen Mingxiang asked.
"No problem, this itinerary has been confirmed, you have to prepare patiently, his physical condition is not very good, and it is not easy to come to the ceremony of the police academy this time."
"There is something I want to hear from you, Zhou Gaohai plans to let Li Shiqun resign as provincial chairman in the name of the Jinling government, do you think it is reliable?" Chen Gongbo asked.
"It's impossible, Li Shiqun will never take the initiative to resign, his character has to decide that private operation will not work, mayor, Minister Zhou's consideration I don't think it's good, this position is his foundation, and it is also his foundation, different from the secretary general of the Qingxiang Committee."
"This matter must be operated carefully, the forces of the secret service headquarters are all over Central China, and it is not a small trouble for those spies to make trouble, if you want to deal with Li Shiqun, you have to secretly do it, cut off the connection between him and the secret service headquarters, and then be deterred by the imperial army in real time."
"But the problem is, after all, he is a heavyweight in our Jinling government, if you kill him, the impact will be too great, I am afraid that everyone will be in danger at that time, or someone will take the initiative to throw themselves into the Shancheng government, and it will become a mess, and no one can clean it up." Chen Mingxiang said.
"You are thinking about it very right, I think the same way, Chairman Wang also means the same, the chairman of the province of Su Province and the director of the secret service headquarters, he can only choose one, wait until July 1, Chairman Wang will talk to him again, you also have to do his ideological work, after all, the two of you are more familiar." Chen Gongbo said.
Chen Mingxiang almost rolled his eyes, he was so naïve, Li Shiqun is probably going crazy now, and you are still discussing to take away his position as provincial chairman, isn't this a plot with the tiger?
"I think it's better for General Shibayama of the Mei organ to talk to him about this matter, I have no result in talking with him, and our identities are not equal, but he is just a small police chief, and he went to talk to a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee and the provincial chairman about resignation, which is not in line with the rules, and it is okay for me to pass on a message." Chen Mingxiang said.
In a few days, on 30 June, Chu Minyi, foreign minister of the Jinling government, will sign a final agreement with the new Japanese ambassador Gu Masayuki to recover the public concession, and according to the communication between the two sides, we will formally recover the public concession on 1 August."
"Although the negotiations with the French government are not progressing very smoothly, the Japanese side has helped us to put pressure on the French government to take back the concession in a few months, and the issue of the French concession must be resolved before the public concession."
"After the two concessions are recovered, the entire administrative area of Shanghai will be changed into eight districts, the public concession will become the first district of Shanghai, the French concession will become the eighth district, the administrative offices of the two districts will be temporarily concurrently the district head, the Shanghai police station will become the second police station, the police department of the Ministry of Industry of the public concession and the special police department of Huxi will be merged into the first police station, and the patrol house of the French concession will become the third police station."
"I will also serve as the director of the first and third police stations, and I will appoint you, Lu Ying and Pan Tie as deputy directors temporarily, this is just a temporary measure, and they will all become sub-bureaus in the future, when you think about your work, you must consider the police work of the entire Shanghai city, and don't just look at the first and third police stations." Chen Gongbo said.
In other words, starting from 1 August, there was no longer the name of the concession in Shanghai, although the Wang puppet government only took back the concession in form, which was a means of winning over the Japanese invaders, and the gap between the essence and the previous concession was not very large, but Chen Mingxiang still had some feelings in his heart that the century-old concession was finally about to become history!
The public concession and the French concession are the current essence of the entire Shanghai market, and the so-called big Shanghai market originated from these two concessions, where more than half of the wealth is condensed, and the status is very important, so Chen Gongbo, the mayor, is also the head of these two new areas.
But the problem now is that the French Concession is the last relatively safe area for activities, and the Japanese always have to give the French government a little face, and they still have scruples about taking action.
However, with the return of executive power to Wang's puppet government, the actions of the Japanese will be unscrupulous, which is absolutely not good news for the underground party and military unification agents operating in the French Concession!
