Standing at the window of the hotel room, Han Lin picked up the binoculars on the windowsill, opened the curtains a slit, looked at the Tongyuan Commercial Bank diagonally opposite, the line of sight was very clear, and then closed the curtains tightly.

"Tell me about last night!" Han Lin said after sitting down.

"Report to the boss, yesterday evening I drove with Wang Fusheng and followed the car of Tongyuan Commercial Bank to the wharf, and a ship arrived at the wharf in the middle of the night and unloaded hundreds of large wooden boxes of goods.

"At present, the price of tobacco in Shanghai is about two or three yuan for foreign imports, and five to two yuan for every two yuan planted in some parts of the country.

"The history of the gangs in Shanghai can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty, and the social relations are intertwined, and many of the officials and generals of the Jinling government are from the Qing Gang, which creates excellent conditions for the intelligence activities of Japanese spies, and most of the leaders of the gangs are privately engaged in tobacco and land."

"In the concession area, the situation in the public concession is relatively better, and the Ministry of Industry and Bureau also prohibits smoking houses on the surface, and dare not come openly, but the French concession is flooded, and the main forces behind it are the concession authorities, warlords and gangs." Xu Yinzheng said.

The public concession once completely banned tobacco houses in the early days of the Republic of China, resulting in all the tobacco houses running to the French Concession, seeing that their own interests were damaged and they could not collect taxes from the tobacco houses, the Ministry of Industry of the Public Concession privately opened the tobacco houses, and the attitude was to turn a blind eye.

The French Concession has almost become a poisonous den that poisons the people of Shanghai, such as Zhonghuali, Baoyuli, and Baoxingli near Fada Road, which are well-known tobacco and soil trading markets, such as Wei Ji in Zhonghuali, Yicheng in Baoxingli, Guo Yucheng, Lao Yuanyu, Guo Yuanmao in Zilai Street, etc., are all famous shops in this kind of business.

Up to now, there are still 36 large earth banks such as Zheng Xieji, Sanxing, and Taifeng in business.

The smoke house in the French Concession is not called a smoke house, this is because of the fear of public opinion, the smoke house has turned into an underground operation, called Yan Zi Yao, the area is small and the furnishings are simple, and the price is lower than the smoke house. The French Concession, which is not very large, currently has more than 8,000 swallow caves, which is such an appalling number!

The big head was eaten by the warlords, the concession authorities and the gangs, especially the Sanxin Company of the three giants of the Green Gang, and the gang leaders below must be unconvinced, after all, the profits of the tobacco are too high, and the Japanese spies use the tobacco as a bargaining chip to attract a group of people to act as traitors.

"You are ready, tonight we will carry out an operation, sneak attack the stronghold of Tongyuan Trading Bank in the Sixteen Pu Wharf, burn all this smoke, create a conflict of interest incident, mislead Tongyuan Trading Bank, and induce them to conflict with the gang!" Han Lin said.

Today, because he watched the comrades of the underground party detonate a grenade and die heroically, he felt uncomfortable with a fire in his heart, and he needed to find an outlet!

Killing Japanese spies, of course, is a good choice, and he has not lost his mind, he wants to blame this matter on the Qinggang who control the tobacco channel, and it does not involve the premise of conflict of interest, who would do this kind of murder and arson?

"Boss, I have an idea that I don't know if to talk about it?" Xu Yinzheng hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously.

"Say whatever you want, and I'm not a boss who can't listen to other people's opinions." Han Lin said.

His face was a little not good-looking, and with his logical thinking ability, he could naturally think that Xu Yinzheng's goal was by no means the action itself, but the more than 100 boxes of tobacco and soil, which was a large amount of wealth that made people blush.

During the Republic of China, tobacco and soil were repeatedly banned, and there were also very complicated reasons, even if President Jiang hated the poison of tobacco and soil, personally served as the honorary chairman of the anti-smoking committee, and vigorously implemented the smoking ban, claiming to ban drugs for two years and smoking for six years, it was still useless.

The Jinling government's six-year anti-smoking plan also ended up being anticlimactic, and it was not until after the founding of New China that the harm of tobacco was completely eliminated.

The crux of the matter lies in the fact that the essence of the Jinling government is to serve the big capitalists, big bureaucrats, and big landlords, and the warlords in various localities have seized one side, disobeyed the orders of the Jinling government, and wantonly planted opium poppies to produce tobacco, and the officials and generals of the Jinling government, in order to seek huge profits, colluded with local gangs to smuggle and sell tobacco.

"Then the humble duty dared to say, it's a pity that all this batch of tobacco soil was burned, more than 100 boxes of imported red soil! According to the tobacco market in Shanghai, the weight of a box is about 200 catties, and the cost price of one catty is 32 oceans, which is equivalent to more than 700,000 oceans! ”

"I'm not open-minded about money, I know that things like tobacco can't be touched, our office has a clear discipline, and the reason why I say this has another purpose. One of the tasks you gave to our team is to break into the gang and support a gang force for our use, this batch of tobacco can play a great role, and we have captured the enemy's things, which are different in nature from our own operation for profit, and can also solve the follow-up financial problems. ”

"As you know in the current situation, although this bit of tobacco sounds like a lot, it is not even a drop in the bucket compared to the consumption of tobacco in the entire Shanghai market. The general situation and environment are like this, why not make use of this smoke and soil to help us open up the situation ourselves? Even in terms of the effect of our actions, it is more appropriate for us to transport the tobacco away than to burn it. Xu Yinzheng said, his forehead began to sweat.

Han Lin frowned, pacing back and forth in the room, he really wanted to burn this batch of tobacco soil, but Xu Yinzheng said it was not unreasonable, what the Jinling government couldn't do, what power could he have as a small office director?

"Special treatment under special circumstances, you are responsible for this matter, I have adopted the opinion, whether you can use it well, this is your problem! How many people are there in the dock yard? Han Lin still agreed with Xu Yinzheng's opinion.

It's not a matter of money, but he knows that after the fall of Shanghai, the role played by the gang should not be underestimated, there are positives, most of them are negative, infiltrating into the gang forces, this is a very critical move, the Shanghai market during the Republic of China, who dares to underestimate the gang?

In the future battle of the office in Shanghai, it is inevitable to master a certain amount of gang power, which is a very important foundation for the development of work.

In addition, although he has absolute authority in the office, it does not mean that he does not need to respect the ideas of his subordinates.

"There are eight guards and four people on duty in shifts, from the freight yard of Tongyuan Commercial Bank to our company's freight yard, which can be done in just twenty minutes, but I have to borrow at least two trucks." Xu Yinzheng said.

"There are five people in your group, plus me and Yue Yingfeng, this matter can be done, the car thing is easy to do, the company has three second-hand trucks just bought, which are placed in the dock yard. In this way, let Yue Yingfeng branch the people in the freight yard first, and we will store this batch of tobacco soil separately in a warehouse and lock it, and then rent a small freight yard as soon as possible to store sensitive things. Han Lin said.
