Sure enough, as soon as he went to work that afternoon, Li Junhao, who was working in the barracks, received a telephone call from Acting Consul General Sheehan, saying that a telegram had come from the embassy, requesting that the matter of the Silian General Office be properly resolved and that the relations between the US and Chinese governments should not be affected as much as possible...... Sheehan asked for his opinion on the matter.

Li Junhao replied with a smile: "Mr. Sheehan, this matter is easy to handle, so I called back to the embassy and said: The Consulate General has informed the board of directors of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau, and has been promised that this incident will be resolved fairly and justly!" ”

"Hah!" Sheehan was startled for a moment, then he also smiled, "Okay, then I'll answer like this." But if Ambassador Jensen is to blame, I'll say it was your idea......"

"No problem!" Li Junhao said indifferently, hearing the other party joking with him, knowing what he meant by expressing closeness, he said again: "Sheen, in fact, you can say that it is my idea now, see what Ambassador Jensen will say?" There may be a surprise. ”

"Really?" Sheehan said with some surprise.

"Really." Li Junhao said, and he didn't hide it from him, "This currency reform is what I proposed, and we can't let Hampley and the Consulate General take this responsibility!" And, I would also like to see what Ambassador Jensen's attitude was. ”

Hearing this, Sheen was a little touched, but he knew that this was reasonable, don't look at him as the consul general now, but he really couldn't catch up with Pan Sen's face at the embassy, so he agreed.

The ensuing thing is also very interesting, the embassy that received the reply from the Consulate General in Shanghai seems to approve of this reply, and there is no follow-up. This made Sheen clear what he had thought before, and he corrected his position in his mind.

After receiving a telegram notice from the Chongqing headquarters, the Huhai Office of the Silian General Office originally thought that the matter would be resolved quickly, but after waiting for a whole day, the subordinate outlets did not unblock it, but instead received an administrative punishment notice from the Public Security Department of the police station: The dozen or so security guards who beat citizens and caused minor injuries were detained for 15 days, and the injured were compensated for the medical grass and lost work expenses, totaling 1,500 US dollars, and the deadline was 24 hours to pay, and the punishment was increased if the time limit was increased.

At this time, everyone in the office is stupid, which means: Chongqing's efforts are completely useless!

What to do? Everyone looked at Xu Guangsong, the director of the office who was sitting at the top, to see what he had to say.

Director Xu had a great headache at this time, and he never thought that things would become like this!

In fact, in addition to rescuing the headquarters according to normal procedures, he also sent a separate telegram to his colleagues in Chongqing, asking them to help see the headquarters' measures.

Not long ago, a colleague called him back and said that Dean Kong and Chairman Song had personally inquired about the matter and contacted the US Ambassador, Mr. Jensen, but they didn't know about the follow-up.

But now it seems that no matter whether the US ambassador speaks out or not, at least the Shanghai Consulate General does not care about that at all, not only punishing the Silian General Office, but also sealing their outlets.

This situation made him regret it very much, when he received the notice from the Financial Supervisory Commission before, because the concession banned the circulation of fiat currency, they were angry, neither replied nor formally refused, and threw it aside as if it was not their business, but they did not expect that when the concession began to officially recycle fiat currency today, their outlets had such a thing and were seized by the concession.

It seems that there is no hope on the headquarters now, what is he going to do?

On the evening of May 2, He Dongming suddenly brought a person to visit Li Junhao at home and brought gifts.

After introducing the two to each other, He Dongming went to the guard team to play cards with them, obviously avoiding suspicion, and at the same time he was a little apprehensive, isn't it good to bring strangers without permission?

Li Junhao looked at Xu Guangsong, who was sitting a little uneasy opposite, and didn't blame He Dongming in his heart, this is actually the best arrangement.

Xu Guangsong calmed down before he said: "Mr. Pan Sen, when we meet for the first time, this is a small gift, not a tribute. As he spoke, he placed a case of red wine and a large box of cigars on the coffee table next to him.

"Mr. Xu is too polite, please take a seat." Li Junhao shook hands with him and motioned for him to sit, and after Xiaoyu next to him brought a new pot of tea, he called everyone else away from the reception area when he walked away.

Xu Guangsong knew that the opportunity was rare, so he sincerely briefly explained the origin of the matter, and then asked Li Junhao for help, hoping to resume the business of the outlet, as for the detained security guards and the $1,500 fine or something, he didn't mention it at all, compared with the former, the latter two are trivial.

After Li Junhao pondered for a while, he said, "Mr. Xu, this incident has happened, and I can see your attitude now." What I want to make clear is that on the issue of fiat currency, the concession and the Silian headquarters will each adhere to their own positions, and the demand of them is that they want the outlets to continue to open for business, and they still have to insist on the fiat currency business; The decision of the Concession Financial Supervisory Commission is to prohibit the continued circulation of fiat currency in the Concession, which is a big contradiction......"

Xu Guangsong nodded when he heard this, this is where the fundamental differences between the two sides lie, and it seems that it is difficult to reconcile now.

Li Junhao continued: "Today you are brought by Brother Dongming, I will seriously say a possible way, as for whether it will work, Mr. Xu will judge for himself." ”

"Say, Mr. Panson!" Xu Guangsong hurriedly said.

"I think you can go and ......talk to the FSC," Li Junhao said, "No matter what happens in the future, at least in this month, you can do business with the FSC!" Speaking of which, he didn't say any more, and he believed that the other party could understand the rest of the matter.

Xu Guangsong didn't understand at first, but he quickly reacted, and his face showed joy......

Soon, Xu Guangsong said goodbye and left, and the purpose of his visit today was achieved.

He Dongming waited for a while, also got up to say goodbye, and tested it for a while, making sure that Li Junhao didn't blame him, so he left happily.

After the guests left, Xiaoyu told Li Junhao: There are a total of forty large yellow croakers in the wine box and cigar box, good guy, this gift is not light!

Speaking of which, 312.5 grams of large yellow croaker, according to the current international market gold price of 35 US dollars / ounce (1 ounce is about 28.35 grams), is about 386 US dollars, and 40 large yellow croaker is only 15440 US dollars, but this is not how things are calculated! If you sell the gold to the bank, you will get the dollars, but the dollars will never buy back the gold.

Li Junhao was a little funny, I don't know if this gold was taken out of the treasury of the Silian General Office?
