I thought that because of the seizure of another salt field this time, I would be hated by a group of chaebols of the North China Salt Industry Co., Ltd., but Chen Mingxiang did not expect that this group of Japanese businessmen would be so poisonous that they would join forces with Li Hongfei of the Central China Salt Company to deal with him.

This matter is indeed very confidential, but as long as there is action, there will be traces, and no arrangement is seamless, Chen Mingxiang does not know, but someone knows.

After dealing with the affairs of Yantian, Chen Mingxiang did not stay long, and flew back to Shanghai directly from Jincheng, and the harvest of this time far exceeded his imagination.

Especially knowing that Kitazawa Ping, who is about to come to Shanghai, this is very important, and the reason why he values this new intelligence director of the Mei agency so much is because of his fear of Shibayama Kaneshiro.

"Mingxiang is back, this time I went to Guanwai and North China, the stay was very short, and things went smoothly?" Chen Gongbo said with a smile in the office.

Chen Mingxiang holds a number of positions in the municipal government, and he must ask the mayor for leave when he goes out, and he must also ask the mayor for leave when he comes back, although Chen Gongbo will not care about this little thing, but he does not dare to be negligent, and the mistake is often in the details.

Originally, she had to go through the secretary Mo Guokang to report to Chen Gongbo's office, but there was no one in her office, and after asking the secretariat, she learned that this woman had gone to the Shanghai branch of the Qingxiang Committee, and it was estimated that she was very concerned about the benefits of the blockade material management office.

"Actually, there is not much to do when I go out this time, the purpose is to meet and chat with the related households on both sides to have a meal, isn't there no visit to them during the Spring Festival!"

"This is the wild ginseng and deer antler velvet I brought back from the customs, they are all rare and high-quality, Your Excellency the mayor should keep them to replenish your body!" Chen Mingxiang also said with a smile.

"The Executive Yuan decided to set up the National Commercial Control Federation on the 15th of this month, the chairman of which is Tang Shoumin, the president of the Bank of Communications, and the chairman of the board of supervisors is Wen Lanting, the chairman of the board of supervisors of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, and he is also the chairman of the cotton control committee."

"In order to better supervise the operation of this institution, the Consulate General in Shanghai proposed to ask you to serve as the director and deputy secretary general of the Council of Commerce, which I also mean, you can ignore the specific affairs, but the context and direction of the entire organization must be well controlled." Chen Gongbo said.

Tang Shoumin is a well-known figure in the financial circles of Shanghai, once participated in the establishment of the Shanghai Savings Bank and the Shanghai Guohua Bank, and held important positions, after 18 years of the Republic of China, he also served as the director of the Shanghai Bank and the manager of the Shanghai branch, as well as the director of the Central Mint, etc., was arrested by the Japanese army in Hong Kong City, surrendered to Japan and became a traitor, and served as the president of the Shanghai Bank controlled by the Japanese.

Wen Lanting is also a well-known business figure, he formed the Shanghai Yarn Industry Association and served as the president, becoming a giant in the national textile industry, and also served as the executive director of the Shanghai Securities Exchange, the chairman of the Chinese Commercial Gauze Exchange, the chairman of the Yarn Mill Industry Federation, etc., is the leader of the Shanghai business community.

But Chen Mingxiang knows that although these two people are traitors, they are not the hardcore type, for example, Wenlanting has helped refugees in Shanghai, but the problem is that if you become a traitor in a false position, you are also a traitor after all.

There are two other people who must be mentioned, one is Yuan Ludeng, an important figure in the business circles of Shanghai, who knows Chen Mingxiang, a director of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau of the Public Concession, and serves as a director of the Commercial Commission.

The other is Lin Kanghou, who is the secretary-general and director of the Commerce Commission, and also serves as the secretary-general of the Shanghai Special City Banking Association, the executive supervisor of the Shanghai Special City Chamber of Commerce, and the chairman of more than a dozen Japanese-funded enterprises, with more part-time jobs than Chen Mingxiang.

"The establishment of this institution also represents that our Jinling government has officially taken over the power of material control and has the leading power over economic materials, which is really gratifying." Chen Mingxiang said.

"Whether the Japanese will let go of power or not, it is impossible to judge now, according to their consistent way of doing things, it is impossible not to intervene, but this is a good start after all, you contact Tang Shoumin as soon as possible, face is always given." Chen Gongbo said with a smile.

It took two months to reluctantly finalize the negotiations on the power of material control, from Wang Jingwei's return to Japan to Hideki Tojo's visit, and it can also be seen that the Japanese army was extremely reluctant to accept such a decision, but the orders of the military department and the cabinet had to be obeyed.

Chen Gongbo's meaning is also very clear, according to the greedy character of the Japanese, they will not give up their vested interests, even if they hand over power to the Jinling government, they will definitely put forward other harsh conditions, and in the current situation, the Jinling government has no possibility of refusing, in fact, it does not dare.

As soon as he returned home from the city government, Chen Mingxiang found a military Ford car parked in the yard, and he was a little puzzled, this was obviously not a Japanese car, and the generals in the Wang puppet government army were not very familiar with him, who would visit him?

"Brother Mingxiang, are you surprised to see me?" A man dressed in a lieutenant general's uniform walked out of the living room.

Chen Mingxiang looked up and saw that it was Xiong Jiandong, and he immediately guessed that this was the deputy head of the tax police corps in Shanghai.

"What should I call it? Deputy Chief Bear? Chen Mingxiang smiled and shook his hand.

"My brother is the overlord of the wind and rain in Shanghai, and if I encounter anything in the future, I have to ask you to come forward and come to the dock to say goodbye." Xiong Jiandong said.

There are several wooden boxes on the floor in the living room, which are full of rare things such as antiques and calligraphy and paintings, which are certainly of great value.

"I also often get Minister Zhou's advice and help, your brother is a little too out-of-sight, this time you come to the door for the first time, I don't care about you, come to my house in the future, there is no need to be too polite, just be casual."

"Today at my house for dinner, let's have two drinks and celebrate your official achievements in Shanghai." Chen Mingxiang said.

He got in touch with Zhou Kuhai through Ding Mocun's introduction, but the relationship between the two was only slowly narrowed last year, and now in addition to interests, Zhou Kuhai's little lover lives in the villa he arranged and has become an absolute confidant. When it comes to such a thing, the average character is certainly not qualified to help.

The Tax Police Corps is Zhou Gaohai's descendant unit, and Xiong Jiandong's ability to serve as the deputy head of the regiment must be the result of taking refuge in Zhou Gaohai, and it is really not far from related.

"I have made up my mind to eat this meal, you can't rush away, I arrived in Shanghai yesterday afternoon, I was busy settling down my residence first, and I went to the garrison headquarters this morning to hand over the work."

"Actually, before coming to Shanghai, I called you once, but the people from the Foreign Affairs Office of the municipal government said that you went to the customs to do business, and when you were busy with the affairs of the headquarters, I called your home again, and I heard from my brother and sister that you happened to come back from the customs outside, so I came to visit and mix two glasses of wine." Xiong Jiandong said.
