Chapter 581: Secretly Layout (Seeking Monthly Ticket)
Kitaoka Ryoko was too presumptuous. When she came to Shanghai, she interfered almost everywhere, without any scruples at all. Even as the head of the special high school class, he would not dare to act like this in Shanghai. If she did this, wouldn’t she make enemies everywhere? In the end, she still had to clean up the mess of these things.
Taro Sagawa's eyes were sharp and he stared at Kitaoka Ryoko. After a long time, he forced himself to hold back his mood, breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "Chioka Team Leader, who allowed you to investigate Fujiwara Club? Do you know the consequences of doing so?
As for the smuggled goods you mentioned, there is no evidence at all, and it is completely nonsense.
If you investigate so carefully, you should know more about President Fujiwara's background. He is not only a child of the Fujiwara family in Kyoto, but also a friend of Lieutenant General Junhei Uehara, the chief intelligence department of the Central China Army, and the friendship of Colonel Katsuda Takashi Katsuda. He also has a wide range of friendship among the top leaders in Shanghai, whether it is the military police headquarters, customs, or even the garrison."
At the end of the story, Taro Sagawa's tone became more and more stern: "Do you want to burn yourself?"
Taro Sagawa's severe reprimand was completely beyond Kitaoka Ryoko's expectations. This was the first time Taro Sagawa had scolded her so mercilessly. Obviously, this had touched Taro Sagawa's bottom line.
Of course she didn't know that Taro Sagawa was so angry, on the one hand, because Fujiwara's background was deep, and because Fujiwara had woven a dense network, which spread its smuggling network across all aspects of Shanghai. The so-called one-touching force of the whole body, the power of the Shanghai Special High School Department alone was not enough to ignite this network. Otherwise, he would face the anger of the military police headquarters, the Shanghai garrison, and especially the intelligence chief of the Central China Army, General Junhei Uehara. He had seen General Junhei Uehara's kind attitude towards President Fujiwara. If he didn't do it well, this Fujiwara company was simply General Uehara's white gloves, which would be a big trouble!
Of course, there is another more important point, that is, after meeting him, President Fujiwara immediately sent someone to give him a very generous gift, the amount was so large that even Taro Sagawa's vision and status were very moved. In addition, President Fujiwara's status was there, if he refused, it would be equivalent to getting into the other party. After repeated consideration, Taro Sagawa finally accepted the gift.
President Fujiwara also promised that with the development of Fujiwara Corporation, these gifts will be more in the future.
With these many reasons, Taro Sagawa certainly would not allow Kitaoka Ryoko to randomly interfere in Fujiwara's business operations.
"Please forgive me, I will end the investigation of Fujiwara Club immediately." Kitaoka Ryoko quickly adjusted her attitude. With her own strength, she could not compete with Fujiwara Club. She immediately took a step back and said no more.
Taro Sagawa's face was deep and said again: "Team Leader Kitaoka, I would like to emphasize again that your current task is to complete the eclipse plan with all your might. Don't be distracted from other irrelevant things, do you understand?"
"Hiyi, I understand!" Kitaoka Ryoko said, but she was embarrassed and angry at this moment. For her, who has always been arrogant, it was the first time she was treated like this by her boss.
She secretly made up her mind that she would never let go of Fujiwara Club, but she is not a reckless person. She has no shortage of scheming and skill. She judges the situation and waits for an opportunity to act. She will sooner or later make such anger!
In the president's office of the Fujiwara Company in the French Concession, Ning Zhiheng was looking at the report in his hand, his face looked very ugly. He looked at Hirao Daichi in front of him and said in a deep voice: "This month's report shows that our transportation volume has not met my requirements. What's going on?"
Hirao Daichi saw the president's unhappy expression and his legs were so scared that he felt his legs a little weak. Now the longer he spent with the president, the more he could feel the invisible oppression of the president. Hirao Daichi quickly explained: "Now the Hong Kong branch explained that the shipping companies they usually hired have reached saturation. Now they are actively negotiating another ship company, which will solve this problem soon."
Ning Zhiheng was not satisfied with his explanation, and gently slapped the desk table and asked again: "The steel gap in China's Guotong District is extremely large, and the price is even more expensive. Didn't I instruct you to purchase enough steel and ship it to mainland China? Our goods are not enough. There are so many smuggling companies in Shanghai. Isn't their goods enough? Didn't Yasuda and Imakawa negotiate? Didn't they agree?"
In the metropolis of Shanghai, the commercial act of smuggling goods is simply impossible to eliminate. Merchants' pursuit of interests is endless. When the profit reaches 100%, they will be ready to move. When the profit reaches 50%, they dare to take risks. When the profit reaches 100%, they dare to trample on all laws in the world. When the profit reaches 300%, they dare to risk hanging to do anything.
During the war, the profit of smuggling controlled items was definitely more than 300%. Therefore, as long as there were ways and merchants with conditions were trying every means to mobilize their relationships and energy, transporting various commodities controlled by the military into Shanghai, and of course they also made sufficient profits.
Therefore, except for several foreign-funded companies with the background of the great powers of various countries, the other smuggling companies are almost all Japanese trading companies, because they are the occupiers of the city, and they have a lot of resources in their hands and can open up channels through various relationships. Some directly bribe the navy, some bribe customs, or simply smuggle them, and bet on luck. In short, the Eight Immortals cross the sea and each show their ability.
Of course, Fujiwara Corporation has the largest scale and the longest transportation channel. It can already transport goods directly to most areas of the Kuomintang-controlled area, and the profits obtained are much greater than those smugglers.
The Japanese company, Yasuda Trading Company and Imakawa Trading Company, are two of these smugglers. They have offline distributions in Shanghai, so the smuggled goods of the two companies are generally mainly steel, and these situations cannot be concealed by Ning Zhiheng.
There is a shortage of steel in China now, especially for military industry, seamless steel pipes, etc. Liu Ruichang, the head of the material group of the Operations Second Division, has repeatedly sent Ning Zhiheng to increase the amount of steel goods, but Ning Zhiheng was unable to raise the steel for a while, so he had to put his ideas on these Japanese colleagues. So he sent Hirao Daichi to negotiate with these two merchants and wanted to swallow the steel in their hands, but it was obvious that he did not succeed.
Hei Otsuki heard the president's inquiry and quickly reported: "I've talked to them, but these two bastards actually rolled around and bitten to death and said there was no goods. No matter what, they said they were reluctant to hand over the goods. I have given them a three-day deadline. If they refuse, they will directly use the gendarmerie to arrest them. Please rest assured, I will let them hand over the goods obediently."
Although Hirao Daichi was an obedient lackey in front of Ning Zhiheng, in front of those Japanese merchants, they were undoubtedly three evil dogs in the abyss of hell, greedy and cruel. He had used the same method to directly annex several small chambers of commerce, making these Japanese merchants hate and fear him. He knew that the manager of Fujiwara Company was a demon who eats people and does not spit bones. He sent a military police team to arrest people at any disagreement. After catching the military police team, he used both soft and hard, and threatened and tempted them until he swallowed them so much that he didn't even have bone slag left.
These Japanese businessmen also had some backgrounds behind them, but they could not compare with the giant Fujiwara Club, so they had to submit in the end.
Of course, Ning Zhiheng had no sympathy for these Japanese merchants. He put aside national hatred. Even from the perspective of merchants, this was also a war without gunpowder. In which life and death and intrigue were not allowed to have any mercy.
In fact, Ning Zhiheng had long been determined to unify the underground smuggling kingdom in Shanghai. When he could control the entire smuggling market, the profits he earned would be astronomical. Then he waved the big stick of money to defeat Japanese officials and key departments, and he could completely take the largest city in the Far East into his own hands.
So when he had the ability to do this, he began to do this work. Hirao Daichi is the evil dog he released, but for now, the effect is not ideal.
Ning Zhiheng threw the report in his hand on the table and said in a cold tone: "You are too indecisive in your work, give them a three-day deadline? How many reinforcements can they carry in the three-day deadline? How many troubles can we cause us? Although it is a mantis arm that is driving a car, if there are too many minor troubles, it will cause big trouble! I am sure that they are transferring supplies now, you idiot!
Now I will notify the gendarmerie to arrest people. I cannot give them a chance. This time I will let these two bastards die, not toast, and punish them for wine. I will use them as a role model and show those idiots that they dare to ignore our Fujiwara Club. These two people will end up!"
Ning Zhiheng's tone was murderous. It seemed that his methods were still too gentle. The Japanese feared power but were not virtuous and were too kind to these Japanese businessmen. These people thought they were weak and could be bullied, but they were lucky and had to give them some color.
Hirao Daichi was scolded by Ning Zhiheng. He was so scared that he knelt on the ground, waiting for the president's instructions. When he heard Ning Zhiheng's order, he hurriedly nodded and said yes.
"Hiyi, it's all my dereliction of duty. I'll notify the gendarmerie to arrest people immediately. Please give me another chance and never make such mistakes again in the future."
After saying that, Hirao Daichi bowed and retreated, and immediately contacted the military police to start arresting.
