"Shanghai's First Business Banking Association" is destined to have endless glory!
Almost all business celebrities and financial elites in Shanghai were present.
This is a great event.
It’s an event that everyone aspires to, but not everyone can come to.
In the words of Joey Freemont, the organizer of the joint meeting and chairman and general manager of Angus International Bank:
“This sorority is bound to bring the Shanghai Public Settlement into a new era of comprehensive prosperity!”
Everyone was chatting and laughing, and drinking glasses of wine.
The acquaintances were holding a glass of wine and discussing the possibility of future cooperation.
Those I didn’t know were busy handing out business cards and trying their best to find business opportunities.
Yida Inri came here specially wearing a kimono today.
No matter where he goes, he must promote the culture of the Yamato nation.
"Mr. Yida."
As soon as he saw Yori Yida appearing, Mr. Thomas, general manager of Citibank Shanghai Branch, who was also one of the organizers, immediately greeted him:
"Your arrival makes our association even more glorious."
"Zhengjin Bank will not let go of such a good opportunity." Yida Inri bowed: "I, as well as Zhengjin Bank, are very grateful for the invitation from the association."
After exchanging a few pleasantries there, and seeing new guests coming in, Thomas asked his assistant, Xu Jisheng, to accompany Yida Yinli, then said hello and left.
Xu Jisheng had just spoken a few words with Yitian Yinli when a familiar voice came from behind him: "Your Excellency Yitian, are you here too?"
Yida Yinli turned around and saw that it was his old friend Ji Yunqing!
Kenji Doihara specifically told him that in the public concession, Japan would have to rely on the power of the Chinese for a long time in the future, especially the gang leader Ji Yunqing!
But why did this person come to such a gathering of business dignitaries and financial elites?
Although Yida Yinli was puzzled, he still smiled and said: "Ah, it's Mr. Ji. It's great to see you here."
When Ji Yunqing saw the Japanese, it was like seeing his own father, and he tried his best to please them.
The friendship between China and Japan is even more talked about.
He really has the face of a traitor.
Xu Jisheng on the side frowned repeatedly when he heard this. If it weren't for politeness, he would have wanted to leave right now.
If you hear too much flattery, you will become numb.
Yitian Yinli came here this time to expand the business of Zhengjin Bank. He had no time to chat with this person here. He was about to find an excuse to leave when he suddenly heard Ji Yunqing and Xu Jisheng say at the same time:
"Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher are here."
A beautiful foreign couple walked in.
"Ah, Manager Xu also knows Mr. Fletcher?" Ji Yunqing asked.
"Yes." Xu Jisheng nodded: "He opened an account in our bank. He is really a very rich man."
A very wealthy man.
In one sentence, Ji Yunqing's confidence in Mr. Fletcher increased!
Yida Inri was a little jealous, why didn't he open an account at his own Zhengjin Bank?
But who asked the family to be American?
"Mr. Ji, Manager Xu!"
Eric Fletcher and his wife walked up to the three people, shook hands with Xu Jisheng first, and then hugged Ji Yunqing:
"Mr. Ji, my dear partner, I feel much better after seeing you."
Although he was not used to this kind of hug, Ji Yunqing still felt very proud to be treated so warmly by an American.
"Ah, you guys talk first." Xu Jisheng just found an opportunity to escape: "I'll go receive other guests."
"Let me introduce to you." Ji Yunqing said enthusiastically: "Mr. Eric Fletcher, general manager of the American Doan Industrial Company in China, and his wife Anita Fletcher. This is the official of the Japanese Empire. Mr. Yoshida Inri, General Manager of Jin Bank Shanghai Branch.”
Fletcher and Yida Inri greeted each other politely.
"Mr. Fletcher." Yida Inri couldn't help but ask: "I just heard that you and Mr. Ji are cooperating? Is it a commercial cooperation?"
"Yes." Eric nodded and said, "Mr. Ji is my best friend in Shanghai, so I decided that Mr. Ji will be fully responsible for Dorn's business in Shanghai."
Cooperate with Ji Yunqing?
This so-called Dorn Company is probably not doing serious business.
Yida Inri knew it, but it had nothing to do with him.
There are too many companies doing illegal business in Shanghai.
Ji Yunqing suddenly had an idea.
An opportunity to ensure the safety of one's own funds and to please the Japanese: "Mr. Fletcher, yesterday we talked about opening an account in a bank. I think there is nothing more reliable and safe than opening an account in a serious bank." What about?"
Eric said casually: "I said, everything depends on Mr. Ji's safety."
Yida Inri suddenly became happy.
"He was a wealthy man."
Xu Jisheng's words came to his mind again.
Being able to attract a big customer is your own achievement.
Yida Inri immediately said: "I welcome you to open an account at the Bank. When you visit Zhengjin Bank, you will receive VIP-level hospitality!"
"Okay." Eric had no objection: "Then it will be ten o'clock tomorrow morning."
"It's settled, I'll be waiting for you on time at ten o'clock tomorrow morning."
This is really a wonderful fellowship party.
Here, you can meet many useful people.
You can also make business along the way.
Ji Yunqing and Yida Yinli both hope that such sorority parties can be held more often...
…
"The Japanese will have a large amount of money entering Shanghai tomorrow!"
Meng Shaoyuan accurately stated the time and route of the Japanese transporting funds, and even the security forces: "There are only five security guards in total, carrying three pistols."
Gan Ning was a little unconvinced when he was summoned urgently: "How much? Just five security guards and three pistols?"
“Sometimes you can’t understand Japanese thinking at all.”
Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "The total is three million yen, which is the salary of the Japanese army, gendarmerie, and secret service agencies in Shanghai, as well as activity expenses. Hehe, the Japanese salary is not low. An army second lieutenant earns 70 yuan a month. In Japanese yen, a warrant officer’s monthly salary is eighty yen. In the Navy, I’m afraid the salary is even higher.”
"Wait a minute." Gan Ning suddenly realized something was wrong: "The rank of second lieutenant is higher than that of warrant officer, so why is his salary lower than that of warrant officer?"
"You don't know this." Meng Shaoyuan explained: "The warrant officer in the Japanese army is equivalent to a senior non-commissioned officer. It takes at least nine years to go from a Japanese soldier to a warrant officer. After becoming a warrant officer, you can continue He served until the age of 45. Although a second lieutenant is an officer, he became one directly after graduating from the military academy. His military age is much lower than that of a warrant officer, and his actual status in the Japanese army is far inferior to that of a warrant officer. Not only is the second lieutenant's status inferior to that of a warrant officer, but his role is also inferior to that of a warrant officer. warrant officer.
We all know that Japanese soldiers are good at marksmanship and bayonet skills, and are not afraid of death in battle. They are actually trained as veteran warrant officers. At the same time, some warrant officers in the Japanese army can become special sergeants, that is, senior non-commissioned officers who can serve as officers. For example, as we are familiar with the captains of the Japanese Military Police, many of them are warrant officers. Not only do they have a higher salary than a second lieutenant, they also receive more subsidies, and their actual income can reach the level of a junior officer. "
Only then did Gan Ning understand.
"I am going to rob this money!" Meng Shaoyuan expressed his thoughts: "The Japanese army and various secret service agencies have been owed their salaries. Once we rob this money, it will cause a big blow to their morale. The army There is strict military discipline on the Japanese side, so I guess there will be no chaos. I guess Doihara Kenji can also suppress it on the Japanese and Special Forces side, but what about the traitors? They are doing things for the Japanese with the infamy, but now they can't even get money.
This is one of them. Secondly, the Japanese in Shanghai need money in all aspects. Money can make things difficult, but without money it is impossible to move forward. Once they lose this money, they will be in trouble for a period of time. "
Gan Ningcai led the team alone, eager to carry out a beautiful mission immediately: "District Chief Meng, tell me, what do you want us to do?"
"I think it's best to do it at Yulin Field, which is suitable for an ambush." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "The more important point is that from the time we launched the attack to the time the Japanese military police received news of reinforcements, we had at least twenty minutes to explode. Open the safe!”
Gan Ning particularly noticed that District Chief Meng used the term "explode the safe".
This means that District Chief Meng not only used explosives, but also clearly knew that the three million yen were placed in the safe.
Combined with the previous information, District Chief Meng has a very clear grasp of the information.
"Okay, District Chief Meng, leave it to me."
"I will act with you." Meng Shaoyuan said: "Gan Ning, you can think of this as an exercise. I want to personally witness and master the entire operation."
exercise?
Will robberies like this happen more and more frequently in the future?
"The Japanese have changed their thinking, and we have to change accordingly." Meng Shaoyuan sneered: "If they touch our banks, we will touch their money. For everyone, money is a lifeline. I not only touch their money, but also You have to retaliate!"
While he was talking there, Wu Jingyi walked in and reported: "The sorority party has begun, Big Nose and Ice Beauty have successfully approached the target."
What sorority? What big nose and ice beauty?
Gan Ning was confused.
But Meng Shaoyuan laughed: "Let them act according to the plan, and I will send someone to pick them up. Unfortunately, I was supposed to go to the fraternity party, but unfortunately there are too many people who know me now, and I can't do whatever I want like in the past. "
Wu Jingyi smiled coldly: "I think you have taken advantage of 'Mrs. Fletcher', right?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Meng Shaoyuan quickly judged: "Am I the kind of lecherous person?"
Then, he saw Wu Jingyi and Gan Ning nodding silently at the same time.
Damn it, what kind of subordinate is this?
Do you still have a bit of the majesty of a commander?
Meng Shaoyuan cursed angrily in his heart.
