Section 5 Customs (2)

In Zhuang Jihua's view, the basic role of the customs is to collect taxes, and other management of entry and exit, protection of national industry and commerce, and so on, are only effective in a sovereign state, and the current Chinese sovereignty has been degraded, and the entry and exit management is equivalent to a non-existent one, and there is no way to talk about the protection of national industry and commerce.

Since you don't have it, you don't have to worry about losing it.

Zhuang Jihua saw Wang Jingwei and Liao Zhongkai staring at him, only then did he feel that he was too presumptuous, and he said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm out of shape." ”

Wang Jingweijun's face was grim and he was about to speak, but Liao Zhongkai preemptively said: "If you have a good idea, say it quickly, and if you don't, go out and get the punishment." ”

Zhuang Jihua was almost choked, when did Liao Zhongkai become funny, but Wang Jingwei became interested: "Say it quickly, what an idea." ”

Zhuang Jihua sorted out his thoughts first, and then cleared his throat: "Chairman Wang, party representative, isn't the customs just an organ that collects money, since he has stopped, let's just set up another one." ”

Wang Jingwei and Liao Zhongkai eagerly hoped that Zhuang Jihua would come up with a good idea, but they didn't expect it to be this, not only disappointed. If you can set up one, it is better to take back the customs to get a convenience. Liao Zhongkai was on the sofa again, and Wang Jingwei's handsome face was gloomy again.

"We don't set up a customs," Zhuang Jihua didn't care how the expressions of the two changed, he still said according to his own train of thought: "In view of the closure of customs, in order to..." Anyway, we set up a company, this company for foreign goods services, provide a variety of services, as for the service items can refer to the customs inspection items, since the service is provided, then naturally have to charge a fee, how much is this cost, please also refer to the customs tariff charges. In this way, we did not take back the customs in name, but in fact we took back the customs, at least we received the money in our pockets, and the powers still have nothing to say, who let them announce the closure of the customs without authorization. ”

Wang Jingwei and Liao Zhongkai, who were already hopeless, were gradually attracted by his idea, and after Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, Wang Jingwei frowned and said, "I'm afraid this can't fool the powers." ”

"I didn't expect to deceive them," Zhuang Jihua said with a smile: "This is a paradox, saying that we are customs, but we have not fully performed the duties of customs, and it is not a political axe; To say that we are not customs, but our charges are the same as customs, and he cannot enter without our consent. So there is a determination in the middle. The great powers must say that it is customs, but we can say that it is not customs, for example, we do not check the passports of people entering the country, and we do not use the workplace of customs. It's just a commercial service, and they enjoy the service, and of course they should pay for it, rightly so. ”

Collecting money in this way will be the ruffians of the 21st century.

"Isn't this a cover-up?" It can be like this, Wang Jingwei is a little stupid.

"Ah, sort of." Zhuang Jihua is honest and very honest.

Liao Zhongkai looked at Zhuang Jihua's appearance, and couldn't help it: "Hahaha, Cultural Revolution, you!" You....", pointing at Zhuang Jihua as he spoke.

Wang Jingwei felt that it was too unbelievable, how could national affairs be such a child's play.

"But before we do, we're going to have to play a little hooligan." Although it is said that he is a hooligan, Zhuang Jihua is still serious on face.

Liao Zhongkai finally stopped laughing, and when he heard that Zhuang Jihua was going to play hooligan, he couldn't help but want to laugh again, this is the office of the chairman of the National Political Axe.

"Text... Leather, you are too straightforward, you have to be civilized. Liao Zhongkai "blamed" and said.

"Yes, party representatives, students know their mistakes, let me put it another way, before we have to mobilize the masses to protest against the unauthorized closure of customs, but in the protest, there may be bricks, tiles, daggers and other dangerous items flying into their homes, this kind of thing is of course a pity, so I promise to track down the troublemakers, but because the emotions of the masses are not easy to control, it would be a pity if they were personally injured, so please ask them not to come to Guangdong in the near future. As for when they will come, it will depend on when Chairman Wang and Minister Liao are not short of money, or when everyone has a result in negotiations, they will come again. ”

After Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, Liao Zhongkai didn't smile anymore, but asked thoughtfully: "Cultural Revolution, why is this method so strong." ”

"You see that?" Zhuang Jihua said with a smile: "I originally learned from the ruffians, and the American gangsters once played this hand." To deal with these hooligans of the great powers, it is useless to use hooligan means, and it is useless to talk about international law and reasoning. On what basis can a foreigner master China's customs, on what basis can a foreigner declare the closure of China's customs, and what is the customs? Zhuang Jihua was originally quite happy, but now the more he talks, the more excited he becomes: "It is a symbol of the sovereignty of a country, why should they control it, trample on our sovereignty in our country at will, kill our people, and the hooligans take the money, but also protect your safety, I think they are worse than the hooligans." Since they are hooligans, why don't we hooligans show them once! ”

"But what if you want to attract the intervention of the great powers?" Wang Jingwei still didn't dare to decide, he asked with a solemn expression.

"Aren't you just sending a few warships? In fact, we can also divide the great powers. Zhuang Jihua also said: "Southern Guangdong is the sphere of influence of the British, but the United States, Yueben and other countries have long wanted to enter this area, but the British are very strict in their precautions, so they have no chance, and now the whole country is anti-British, which is an opportunity for them." And you can throw a bone at them. ”

"What bones?" Liao Zhongkai was in good spirits, if the great powers could be divided and only Britain was left, then this strategy would be feasible. Of course, this is mainly due to the Shaki incident that gave him confidence.

"Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway and Guangdong-Hankou Railway." Zhuang Jihua steadily threw out the bones of his own idea: "Connecting these two railways is not only conducive to Guangdong's economic development, but also conducive to military dispatch. We put out a public tender, and we explicitly rejected the bidding of British companies, who are you talking about? Whatever it is, it must be the big conglomerates, and in foreign countries, these big conglomerates have a great influence on the political axe, and we ask them to exert influence on the political axe of their country, and ask them not to mix with the British. With these two items, I estimate that the service company is 80% sure that it can continue without attracting the interference of the great powers. ”

Wang Jingwei suddenly picked up the phone on the table and said, "Pick up Minister Hu of Foreign Affairs." ”

Zhuang Jihua was taken aback, and immediately said, "Don't." ”

Wang Jingwei asked curiously, "What?" ”

"The people around Minister Hu may leak secrets, and if the British know about it, the company will be gone." Zhuang Jihua said.

"Zhaoming, the Cultural Revolution is right, this matter really can't be known to Hu Zhantang, it's not his problem, it's the problem of the people around him." Liao Zhongkai stood up and walked to Wang Jingwei's desk.

"But I have to consult with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and I can't just make a decision so rashly. And it also prepared the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Wang Jingwei argued.

Zhuang Jihua shook his head in his heart, no wonder this Wang Jingwei can't fight Chiang Kai-shek, a white-faced scholar, indecisive in doing things, compared to Chiang Kai-shek, once he found out that it was beneficial, he immediately made a decisive decision, Lao Wang, you still want to be your Han Annihilation.

"Bring in Chen Youren, he is proficient in foreign affairs." Liao Zhongkai suggested.

Wang Jingwei suddenly woke up to the fact that Hu Hanmin was the first to comfort his surname when he became the minister of foreign affairs, and it was Chen Youren who was really proficient in foreign affairs.

He picked up the phone again, thought about it and put it down, and after a while, he grabbed the phone: "Secretary Bai, come here." ”

Liao Zhongkai and Zhuang Jihua watched Wang Jingwei pick up and put it down inexplicably, not knowing what he wanted to do, and now that he called Bai Sitong in, the two of them were even more confused.

Bai Sitong soon came in, and Wang Jingwei said to him: "You go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and ask Vice Minister Chen to come to me immediately." If Minister Hu asks, you will say that I have decided to protest to the legation first, and let Vice Minister Chen come over to discuss. ”

After Bai Sitong left, Wang Jingwei was still worried about Zhongzhong, Zhuang Jihua was a little impatient, he tried his best to control himself, Liao Zhongkai found Zhuang Jihua's emotions, so he deliberately changed the topic and asked Zhuang Jihua to report the reorganization first.

Zhuang Jihua then re-said what he said yesterday to Chiang Kai-shek, Wang Jingwei listened to it quite satisfied, but Liao Zhongkai heard it yesterday, and he immediately found that Zhuang Jihua was perfunctory Wang Jingwei, but he didn't break it immediately, he only stared at Zhuang Jihua, Zhuang Jihua pretended not to see it, which made Liao Zhongkai a little angry, and decided to find an opportunity to talk with him afterwards, and he couldn't be so disrespectful to the chairman of the National Political Axe.

For the next step, Wang Jingwei didn't know what to do, he said some big words and clichΓ©s in Zhuang Jihua's opinion that this world is empty; However, Zhuang Jihua covered it up very well, when Zhuang Jihua spoke, he was always respectful, full of piety, and from time to time he praised Wang Jingwei two sentences, Liao Zhongkai wondered on the side, when did this Zhuang Jihua learn to act, you have to be careful in the future, don't be deceived by him.

Chen Youren is nearly 50 years old and looks like he is only in his forties, with a mustache that is very popular in this era, and a suit and leather shoes with a graceful demeanor.

After Zhuang Jihua stated his plan to Chen Youren again, Chen Youren was very surprised, he had followed Sun Yat-sen since 1918, participated in the Paris Peace Conference, and was also a professional diplomat, but he had never heard of such a handling of diplomatic disputes, in his opinion, the shutdown incident was a diplomatic incident, which should be resolved through diplomatic channels, Zhuang Jihua's methods were undoubtedly playing scoundrels, and some of them could be called hooligan methods, once exposed, it would inevitably lead to a sharp drop in the prestige of the national political axe.

"No, this is a scoundrel, absolutely not, the political axe cannot reduce its status to the level of a rogue scoundrel." Chen Youren was emotional and resolutely opposed.
