Chapter 62 Ministry of Industry Bureau

These foreigners are the directors of the Ministry of Industry and the chief of the patrol house, and the Shanghai Public Concession Bureau is an independent agency set up by foreigners in Shanghai. The www.biquge.info is composed of foreigners and is the highest administrative body in the Shanghai Public Concession. It has its own patrol house, court, prison and other systems similar to the government, and carries out administrative activities such as municipal construction, public security management, and tax collection.

The Ministry of Industry Bureau generally has 9 directors from three countries, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan. There is only one director in Japan, one or two in the United States, and the rest are British.

Next to Jin Tong now is an American director (the general director of the Ministry of Industry), a British director, and the other three are the three chiefs of the patrol room. There are a total of 10 patrol rooms with about 3,000 employees, but these employees are all assigned to perform duties in various places in the public concession, and basically there are only about 20 police officers at a time. The patrol room is not an army, naturally both equipment and quality and combat experience are much worse than the regular army, and in most cases, the hired employees only regard the patrol room detective as a job bowl, and it is okay to scare people with a gun, but desperately, sorry, no! In terms of the degree of instigation (or the degree of importance attached to life), the employees were about the same as the British and American soldiers.

Smith, the American director, and Auston, the British director, sat next to Kimtong, while the officers of the patrol room stood honestly to the side. They came this time for the student march, I heard that the students came for Jintong this time, but soon there was a fierce fight with some "street vendors" on the street, resulting in heavy casualties, the Ministry of Industry Bureau also sent people to patrol the house to investigate, the truth is much more serious than what I heard on the phone, according to statistics, the number of dead students has reached ten, and there are at least hundreds of injured, it is a very serious riot!

Smith, the director of the United States, said: "Kim sir, do you know what the public concession is? ”

Auston, the British director, also said: "Last time, Kim Sir forcibly led the army into the public concession in disregard of the warning of our Ministry of Industry, which has violated the regulations. ”

This time, the two directors came to Xingshi to ask for guilt, no matter how horizontal Jin Tong was, he didn't dare to cross in front of them, knowing the purpose of their coming, he could only honestly say: "Occasionally passing by, borrowing a way, it's not too much." The Chamber of Commerce invited me to tea, and after a while, it was my fault that I didn't inform you, and this will not happen in the future. I have also arranged for compensation for the losses incurred by you, and the two directors, please be aware of it. ”

Smith glanced at Auston and asked, "Is there such a thing?" ”

Alston said: "This is true, and the compensation is indeed in place." ”

Smith breathed a sigh of relief, and continued, "Then so be it, we won't pursue what happened last time." But this time, I heard that you brought people into the public concession again, what's going on? And there was a fight with the students, resulting in such heavy casualties among the students! Smith said at the end, his face was already cold, and he was very dissatisfied with Jin Tong's behavior.

Jin Tong said strangely: "Chief Dong, what do you mean by this, I didn't bring anyone in at all?" Oh? I asked. ”

Jin Tong asked the person next to him, and then smiled: "Two directors, you are mistaken, I really didn't bring soldiers into the concession this time." It's just that I brought a few entourages and a concubine, because I have a 50th birthday today, and I want to run a wine at the Peace Hotel, and I have been filed with the Ministry of Industry Bureau two days ago, and I was received by a British director, and I didn't see any problems. ”

Jin Tong smiled, Smith and Auston glanced at each other, and there was no hole in what Jin Tong said. So Smith asked directly: "Kim sir, I heard that the mob fighting with the students are all your subordinates, and you let them disguise themselves as street vendors to eliminate the student march that is not good for you." ”

When Jin Tong heard this, he suddenly burst out, and his fat figure of more than 300 catties shook and shook, and he was so angry that he couldn't be more angry: "Who is spewing blood, damn, Lao Tzu will definitely not let him go if he catches him." Today is my 50th birthday, what do I have nothing to teach those students to do? No matter how many students smeared me in the past, I didn't do anything to them. This time, it was actually used by people with intentions to build momentum and spread rumors, yes, this is rumors! Put the basin on my head, and don't look at who Lao Tzu is, and dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head. ”

As soon as Jin Tong was angry, the fierce aura of crawling on the battlefield was exposed, which made Smith and Auston and the three patrol chiefs also feel frustrated.

The three chiefs of the patrol house were also helpless, but they heard that someone recognized Jin Tong's subordinates among the "street vendors", but they only saw it, and there was no definite evidence. The vendors quickly evacuated after the riot, and they rushed over without even seeing their backs, so to speak, without any evidence at all.

Smith glanced at the chief of the patrol room, they were cowardly, Smith already knew that he couldn't ask anything. This time, I also wanted to blow up Jin Tong, but I didn't expect anything to blow up, so I could only say: "Since that's the case, it's best, it's just Jin Sir, you remember, sooner or later, one day you will find out who did it, don't regret it when the time comes." ”

Jin Tong said angrily: "When the time comes, find out who it is, please tell me if you are troublesome, Lao Tzu has to pick his skin, and he dares to pee on Lao Tzu's head." ”

"Okay, in that case, let's take our leave first, Kim sir, happy birthday." Smith motioned to the three chief inspectors and placed his gift for Jin Tong on the table.

Jin Tong said: "Why don't you stay for a meal, or I'll send someone to pick you up at night?" ”

Smith said: "No need, such a big thing happened today, I have to report to the above, I don't have time." ”

In that case, Jin Tong will let them be. Smith and Auston left directly with the three of them, this time there was no evidence, so they had to give up, but this was only a temporary concession, Smith would send out a detective team with all his staff, as long as he found a little evidence, Smith could let Jin Tong spend his life in prison.

After watching Smith leave, Jin Tong slapped the table, and then asked someone to open the gift that Smith had sent them. It was found that it was some foreign beef and mutton. Jin Tong didn't care about the etiquette of foreigners, so he threw the thing to his subordinates: "Take it back, feed the dog!" ”

"These foreigners are not ordinarily thick-skinned, and just a few pieces of beef and mutton can be used as gifts." Jin Tong smiled disdainfully, but he remembered that he had given gifts to the Ministry of Industry and Bureau several times before, all of which were 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, but now the Ministry of Industry and Bureau was so slammed, which made Jin Tong feel very uncomfortable.

Jin Tong took a sip of tea, and the anger in his heart subsided. Then I found that the person next to me had been waiting for a long time.
