In September 1938, businessmen all over Shanghai were "quietly" spreading something crazy:
Japan fully issued "Goodwill Securities" in Shanghai and received huge returns.
Upright Chinese businessmen sneered at this.
But those traitors, big and small, and the swaying businessmen were all excited.
This can not only please the Japanese, but also make a lot of money, killing two birds with one stone.
Why not?
At the same time, the military commander did two things at the same time.
First of all, they launched a new attack on the Japanese special agencies, especially issuing the "iron-blooded hoeing order" again, targeting the new agency intelligence headquarters just established by the Japanese.
The Japanese knew that this was a bloody battle and related to their future development in Shanghai, so they did not dare to neglect at all and fought with all their strength.
Almost all the spies were involved in the fierce battle with the military commander.
Secondly, the military commander began to secretly monitor Tang Shaoyuan, and Zhou Weilong was mainly responsible for this work.
This gives those profiteers room to maneuver.
The mansion on Fuzhou Road and Yunnan Road has become the busiest place.
The first person to take the initiative to subscribe for the "goodwill bonds" was Li Ruzhang, the director-general of the Shanghai Refugee Children's Educational Home.
He bought one million yen of goodwill bonds in one go. In return, he also received shares in Iwato Co., Ltd. worth one million yen.
All procedures are complete and the certificate is complete.
What's more important is that this was personally recommended by the great Japanese aristocrat Tetsuhiro Matsudaira.
Later, people like Yang Boyan and Shao Puyun followed suit.
Shao Puyun was so strong that he actually bought 3 million yen of bonds in one go.
While making money, he also expressed his loyalty to his Japanese masters.
Information was reported to Matsudaira Tetsuhiro by Lu Xiaomei personally every day.
On the first day of selling the bonds, the amount exceeded 7 million yen.
This made Tetsuhiro Matsudaira overjoyed.
All the money was originally planned to be deposited in Zhengjin Bank, but because of the shame and humiliation he suffered at Zhengjin Bank, Matsudaira Tetsuhiro was still worried about it.
Therefore, he opened an independent Japanese yen account at HSBC Bank and sent four people to Lu Xiaomei to "assist in protecting" Lu Xiaomei.
At 4 p.m. that day, just before HSBC closed, Lu Xiaomei walked into the bank accompanied by four bodyguards.
The appearance of four big, muscular men naturally aroused tension in the bank. They were controlled by several security guards and sat aside.
Lu Xiaomei came to the counter and deposited more than a dozen checks into the account.
Then, after everything was done, he left the bank under the protection of four bodyguards.
A black car was waiting outside.
Lu Xiaomei got into the car, and sitting in the car was none other than Tetsuhiro Matsudaira.
"Sir Songping." Lu Xiaomei took out the passbook from the small bag: "Please take a look."
Matsudaira Tetsuhiro took the bankbook he personally handed to Lu Xiaomei and looked at it. It was seven million.
He was very satisfied, really very satisfied.
It looks like it will soon exceed 10 million yen!
Father will be very happy.
He handed the bankbook to Lu Xiaomei again.
Only she knows the password of this account. Even if Lu Xiaomei has a bad heart, she still can't get out a dime of it!
"Ms. Xiaomei, thank you for your contribution to the Empire of Japan." Matsudaira Tetsuhiro was in a very good mood: "When this matter is over, will you stay in Shanghai?"
"Yes, Sir Songping, I still have missions in Shanghai."
"It's such a pity that such a beautiful woman like you is allowed to perform a mission alone. Ms. Xiaomei, are you free tonight? We can have dinner together."
"It is really an honor for me to be invited by Lord Songping." Lu Xiaomei winked: "However, there are still many things that have not been done. When the matter is over, Lord Songping can do anything you want me to do."
You can do whatever you want from me. This sentence is really too ambiguous.
Matsudaira Tetsuhiro has even imagined that wonderful day.
Lu Xiaomei opened the car door: "Sir Songping, you are such a lovely boy."
"Boom".
Matsudaira Tetsuhiro's head felt like it was going to explode.
Just such a sentence made him want to throw Lu Xiaomei into the car right now.
It's a pity that so many subordinates are here.
Moreover, there are more important things to do now...
…
Lu Xiaomei gets up at 10 a.m. every day, has breakfast and lunch at 10:30, and then takes a rest. At 12 o'clock, she officially receives the businessmen who have been waiting for a long time.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, regardless of whether there is anyone else, she will give orders to see off guests on time.
Then, they would count the bonds sold that day, collect the checks, and go to HSBC Bank under the escort of four bodyguards to deposit the checks into their accounts.
Then show the account to Tetsuhiro Matsudaira.
It was like this for three days in a row.
In order to purchase goodwill bonds, some businessmen did not hesitate to mortgage their companies and houses, and some even sold their wives and daughters' jewelry.
China is so big, but there are so many traitors.
For their own selfish interests and to be loyal to their Japanese Empire, these people really fought hard.
Fifteen million!
In Shanghai, Japan's goodwill bonds issued specifically for China actually sold a total of 15 million.
All the bonds brought by Tetsuhiro Matsudaira were sold out.
The previous consideration was that being able to sell eight to ten million bonds was already a big deal.
But the final result far exceeded this number.
Those businessmen who had not had time to buy goodwill bonds were frustrated and asked where else they could buy them.
There was even a black market for bonds in the first place.
The black market price of a goodwill bond worth 10,000 yen and pledged stocks of Ganto Co., Ltd. has increased several times.
Tetsuhiro Matsudaira is in high spirits.
The shame caused by previous international visiting delegations was wiped away.
In China's bond sales, he trampled on the Northeast, which sold 10 million yuan in one fell swoop!
Moreover, I haven’t used any coercive means yet!
Live up to the name of the Matsudaira family!
What made him even more happy was that after making the last deposit, Lu Xiaomei not only returned the bankbook to him, but also invited him to have dinner at a French restaurant tonight.
Ah, the bonds are sold, the task is accomplished, and I feel happy.
Moreover, tonight must be a night that I will never forget...
…
Tetsuhiro Matsudaira arrived at this French restaurant on time.
Lu Xiaomei hasn't arrived yet.
Tetsuhiro Matsudaira is a very patient person.
But after waiting for a full hour, the man in the dream still did not appear.
Even the most patient people will become impatient.
Matsudaira Tetsuhiro was a little angry.
This damn woman actually dared to play tricks on a noble.
He stood up with a cold face: "Let's go to Yunnan Road!"
He wanted to ask Lu Xiaomei face to face what was going on!
When he and his bodyguards just stepped out of the restaurant, more than a dozen big men suddenly rushed out from the side.
"you……"
"Bang bang bang bang."
Gunshots rang out, and several bodyguards around him instantly fell into a pool of blood.
"Help!"
Before Matsudaira Tetsuhiro finished speaking, he had already received a heavy blow on his head.
Then, there was a burst of punches and kicks, and he was stuffed into a car...
…
"I'm sorry, Lord Matsudaira."
In the office, facing Tetsuhiro Matsudaira, whose face was covered with blood, Hikari Hahara apologized continuously: "I rushed over as soon as I heard about it. Those people got the information. An important figure in the military command was dining in that restaurant. They were just performing their mission." .I’m sorry that you have been wronged.”
"asshole!"
This was the second time Tetsuhiro Matsudaira was beaten in Shanghai. He became furious and yelled.
After finally waiting for him to calm down a little, Hahara Koichi asked: "Sir Matsudaira, your status is so noble, why did you go to that restaurant?"
Matsudaira Tetsuhiro was speechless for a moment and made up an excuse at random: "I came to Shanghai this time to sell goodwill bonds. I'm going... I'm going to get a check..."
Koichi Hahara also knew about the goodwill bonds.
But this has nothing to do with the Japanese intelligence agency in Shanghai. It is something done by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Finance.
They have no right to intervene.
Hahara Koichi briefly inquired about the situation and frowned for a long time: "Sir Matsudaira, I think you may have been deceived."
"What? Fooled?"
"Yes, I mean you may have been cheated. I'm afraid the money from selling the bonds no longer belongs to you."
"Impossible!" Matsudaira Tetsuhiro roared: "I have the bankbook in my hand, 15 million yen, and only I know the password!"
"Really?" Hahara Koichi shook his head slightly: "Why did you agree to cooperate with a fictitious Iwato Co., Ltd.? Tomorrow, I will accompany you to HSBC Bank, and the truth will be revealed."
…
"asshole!"
Tetsuhiro Matsudaira's voice rang wildly in the lobby of HSBC Bank: "Fifteen million, it's fifteen million! It's not 150,000!"
"Sir, please calm down." The manager signaled several security guards to surround the Japanese: "I tell you again that your passbook is fake. The total deposit in your independent Japanese yen account is 158,000. Yen. If you're messing around, I'll have to call the patrol house."
"I'm so sorry, we made a mistake."
While apologizing, Mitsuhiro Hahara pulled Tetsuhiro Matsudaira aside: "Don't you understand yet? If so many checks each contain dozens or hundreds of small deposits, it will arouse bank staff's curiosity, and even It is possible to be exposed. Therefore, those scattered checks must be worth thousands or tens of thousands of yen each. And in another sense, the 150,000 yen may be the hard work that person gave you. "
"Thank you for your hard work, I am from the Matsudaira family..." At this point, Matsudaira Tetsuhiro was suddenly startled: "That person? Who is that person?"
Koichi Hahara smiled bitterly: "There is only one person in the whole of Shanghai who can do this!"
…
Secret prison of the Shanghai Special Office of Military Reunification.
The prison door opened.
Locked inside was a woman in ragged clothes, who had been locked up for who knows how long, and whose face was pale and inhumane, and she raised her head.
She begged: "You have imprisoned me for so long, and I have already confessed."
Gan Ning gave her a cold look:
"The interrogation is pending, Lu Xiaomei!"
