Fenghui Woolen Textile Co., Ltd. seeks to go public and issue shares, and has fully entrusted Xinsheng Securities to handle it!
Well-informed reporters quickly dug up the news.
Backed by European and American investors, it is preparing to issue shares.
This is undoubtedly a positive stimulus for the Shanghai securities market.
More people are beginning to turn their attention to this previously unknown small company:
Fenghui Woolen!
At this time, a case shocked the entire Shanghai:
On the afternoon of July 29, 1939, Philip, the British general office of the Shanghai Public Settlement Bureau of Industry and Commerce, was assassinated by three assassins on his way to get off work.
The killer fired a total of eight shots.
Fortunately, Philip was hiding in the car at the time, and the killer missed in his haste. In addition, the patrol arrived in time, so Philip was not harmed.
But the assassination was extremely egregious.
This was the first time since the war between China and Japan that a British person was assassinated in the public concession.
Moreover, this person’s identity is extraordinary:
General Office of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau of Public Settlement.
The Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau immediately launched a comprehensive investigation.
Military commanders, the Japanese side, the intelligence headquarters, and No. 76 all denied that the assassination was related to them.
For this reason, the Police Department of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau has offered a reward of up to 50,000 yuan!
…
China Flying Club.
This is a small casino, and it is said that there is British capital in it.
After 7 p.m., the casino starts to get busy.
As the person in charge of the casino, John Zhu controls every move of the entire casino.
John Zhu is Chinese.
His real name was Zhu Guigen. He lived in Shanghai all year round and learned a few words in foreign language. Later, by chance, he was appreciated by a foreigner and became the root of the foreigner, so he changed himself to a very foreign name:
John Chu!
He walked around the casino as usual and was about to go back to the office to take a rest when he suddenly saw three young people entering the casino.
They were playing Russian roulette.
John Zhu immediately paid attention.
He also received a notification from the police department.
According to the recollections of Philip himself and the patrolmen afterwards, there were three killers in total, and they were not big at any time.
three people?
young?
John Zhu called over the spectators: "Send a sophisticated person to pretend to be a gambler, sit next to them, listen to what they are saying, and don't let them find out."
…
"Meng."
Sinclair brought a glass of wine to Meng Shaoyuan: "Is your operation really feasible?"
"My methods always work." Meng Shaoyuan took a sip of wine and looked at the time: "It's almost 8 o'clock. I think the call you are waiting for should be here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone rang.
Sinclair hurriedly answered the phone and listened for a while: "Okay, send someone to the China Aircraft Club immediately and arrest them. Don't let anyone escape!"
Turning around, he had a smile on his face: "One of the important things I like about making friends with you is that you can always come up with some incredible ways to help us get out of difficulties."
"Friends are always the most important thing to me."
Meng Shaoyuan said unhurriedly: "When my friends are in trouble, I am willing to extend my hands to help them. I think that after tomorrow, the pressure faced by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau will naturally be eliminated."
"Cheers, dear friend, to our friendship."
"For the sake of friendship, Mr. Police Commissioner, and for the common interests!"
…
On the night of July 29, 1939, at the China Airlines Club, relying on a tip from the casino staff, the patrol room secretly arrested three gamblers.
It is rumored that these three gamblers were the three killers who planned the assassination of Mr. Philip!
…
On July 29, the puppet Shanghai Municipal Government.
The pseudo-mayor Fu Xiaoan walked into his office at 9 o'clock as usual.
Just as he put the bag away, his secretary walked in: "Mayor Fu, the Ministry of Industry Bureau called. Please take the time to go to the Ministry of Industry Bureau immediately. They have important matters to discuss with you."
"Oh, is it so?"
Fu Xiao'an said calmly: "Who called?"
"Moyes, President of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce."
"Finally willing to call in person?" Fu Xiao'an sneered: "These people are usually domineering. I asked them to call out the police power several times, but they just didn't want to. Now the assassination of Philip makes them scared? By the way, check Who did this?"
"No, it doesn't look like it was done by the intelligence headquarters or No. 76."
"Is it the military commander?"
Fu Xiao'an muttered to himself, and then denied his thoughts: "No, what is the military commander doing to assassinate people from the Ministry of Industry? It's strange."
"Where is the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau?"
"Go, of course."
Fu Xiao'an did not hesitate: "Prepare a car for me and call Wu Maiting. His foreign language is good. By the way, we must strengthen the security force. Those people in the military command are all a bunch of lunatics!"
…
Meng Shaoyuan took a bunch of bananas and sat in the corner of the conference room.
The sesame bananas that I especially liked to eat in the past are not available in this day and age.
"Why are you obsessed with eating bananas?" Wu Jingyi, who was sitting aside, frowned.
"Reduce smoking." Meng Shaoyuan lit a cigarette.
Wu Jingyi shook her head.
Moyes, the president of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and the Commissioner of Police all walked into the conference room.
It was as if they didn't see Meng Shaoyuan and Wu Jingyi at all.
…
This was the first time Meng Shaoyuan met Fu Xiaoan, a famous traitor.
This guy, wearing round-rimmed glasses, doesn't look like a Chinese, he looks absolutely Japanese.
A famous flatterer and a wallflower.
Coming with him was his pseudo-foreign secretary Wu Maiting.
"What do you think, if I give him a shot now?"
Meng Shaoyuan said in a low voice.
Wu Jingyi sneered: "In that case, we will lose the support of the Ministry of Industry and Affairs."
…
"Hello, Mr. Fu."
Moyes shook his hand politely.
"In comparison, I prefer the title Mayor Fu."
No matter where he goes, Fu Xiao'an likes to use his title of "mayor".
"Mr. Fu, come today, we have something important to discuss."
Moyes still insisted on his title: "I wonder if Mayor Fu has heard about the assassination of our general manager, Mr. Philip?"
"Yes, I heard about it and I was shocked, sorry and angry."
Fu Xiao'an said three "very" words in a row: "I also hope that the murderer can be caught and brought to justice as soon as possible."
"We have caught the murderer."
Sinclair said calmly.
"Oh, is it so?"
Fu Xiaoan was startled.
When did the police force become so efficient?
But what does this have to do with myself?
Fu Xiao'an didn't care at all, he just responded politely: "Then, I think I should congratulate you. Mr. Philip will be very happy to know."
"Yes, he will be happy."
Sinclair asked calmly:
"Mr. Fu, what role did you play in this horrific assassination?"
