The chaos in the Shanghai Bund Public Settlement continues.
As Moyes predicted, there were more scares to come.
On January 25, the wife of Rennett, the board director of the Shanghai Public Settlement Bureau of Industry and Commerce, was robbed.
The loss of property was not much, but Mrs. Rennet was greatly frightened.
An hour later, Maximilan, Director of the Health Department of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau, also encountered a theft case:
His car was stolen in broad daylight.
Lennet and Maximilan had planned to question the police.
But they suddenly discovered that Police Commissioner Sinclair had resigned.
They could only vent their anger on Sir Claes.
They asked Klaas to immediately order the patrol room to solve the case quickly.
At the same time, they expressed serious concern about what happened in the public concession.
This chaos cannot continue. As the general director, Klass must come up with a solution immediately.
Otherwise, they will question Klass's ability as managing director.
Lennet even proposed that the board of directors should not rule out a vote of no confidence in the general director!
If that is the case, perhaps Klaas will become the shortest-lived general director in the history of the Ministry of Industry!
"You don't understand Shanghai, nor do you understand Meng Shaoyuan." On the way out, Maximilan said meaningfully: "To solve the chaos in front of us, this person is the key!"
At the same time, Meng Shaoyuan, the biggest mastermind behind this chaos, was fooling around in darkness.
"You're still here." Yu Yanchu gasped.
Master Meng is really the devil he is destined to be.
Meng Shaoyuan's head emerged from the quilt: "I am the district chief, I can do whatever I want."
"You are shameless."
"With a beauty on your side, why do you need more face?"
"Do you want to go to work? How many times have you done this?"
"I am the district chief, who dares to check my attendance?"
Yu Yanchu didn't understand. Why did Director Dai choose such a person to lead the Shanghai Navy?
"District Chief Meng, District Chief Meng."
Li Zhifeng's voice came from outside: "Don't you have a meeting this morning? It's already past 9 o'clock."
"Oh, I forgot!"
Meng Shaoyuan jumped up quickly, and while putting on his clothes in a panic, he asked: "Am I considered a debauched and immoral person who ignores the government's affairs?"
"Amitabha, you finally have some self-awareness."
…
The people who had been waiting for District Mayor Meng's meeting for more than half an hour finally saw Master Meng rushing over.
"There was an urgent matter that required me to make a decision just now. I'm late. I'm late." Meng Shaoyuantian explained shamelessly.
Why do these subordinates all have expressions of disbelief and disdain on their faces?
Wu Jingyi was too lazy to pay attention to him: "Chang Chizhou has led the Youth Gang disciples to attack in full force. At the same time, two thief gangs in Shanghai have also come out to commit crimes everywhere. At present, robberies, thefts and other cases occur frequently."
"Continue to increase our efforts, especially to increase the intensity of committing crimes against foreigners." Meng Shaoyuan ordered: "But no cases of kidnapping or wounding are allowed. Our purpose is to make Klass surrender, but we do not really want to mess up Shanghai. "
"Should we go on strike?"
"No." Meng Shaoyuan immediately replied: "There is really a strike. The situation is not easy to deal with, but it is easy for the Japanese to take advantage of it. Damn it, think about it, no one empties the toilets and no one sweeps the garbage. What a situation you have I’m not happy to see it either.”
Strike is just the last step.
Meng Shaoyuan didn't want to see such a situation happen.
"The patrol room went on strike in disguise, and several detectives even offered to resign, but they were not approved for the time being. What troubles Klass the most is that Sinclair gave up his job, which will make the situation even more out of control."
"Playing gangster with me?" Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "I am the number one gangster in Shanghai, I am the only one..."
Hmm, seems like I made a mistake?
Why is it that when I say the words "I am the number one gangster in Shanghai", everyone is nodding their heads in agreement?
People make mistakes and horses make mistakes.
Meng Shaoyuan said angrily: "Now, pay special attention to No. 76. With Li Shiqun's personality, he will never give up such a good opportunity. Zhao Yun, if you were Li Shiqun, what would you do?"
"I will send agents to assist the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau in maintaining order in the concession." Zhao Yun blurted out: "After the signing of Article 16, the attitude of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau has obviously shifted towards Japan. If we can use this opportunity to quickly stabilize the situation in the concession, it will Klaas is completely siding with the Japanese side, and at the same time, it will also let the Ministry of Industry and Commerce see that the concession is not incapable of doing without us."
"All our efforts will be in vain." Meng Shaoyuan nodded and said: "Be ahead of the enemy and become invincible. Mobilize no less than three squadrons and target No. 76 for me. Zhao Yun, this matter You are personally responsible.”
"yes!"
"Tell the patrols that you can't really go on strike. You still have to do things when you should do things. Don't look at those patrols who don't usually do much, but they have been in the concession for a long time, and their eyes are very poisonous."
Meng Shaoyuan continued: "They can tell who is a good guy and who is a bad guy at a glance. The thieves and gangsters who have been hanging out in the concession all year round, what they look like is firmly imprinted in their minds.
Tell them, they are thieves and gangsters, and let them continue to do bad things. Those who enter the concession and meddle in other people's business may as well catch a few more. My people can be captured, but Li Shiqun's people can't be captured? "
Zhao Yun listened very carefully.
The reason why District Chief Meng is successful is that when he decides to implement a plan, he often takes into account all possible things that may happen and all the people who may be involved, and makes targeted deployments.
"Report, the phone number of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau."
"who?"
"It's the assistant to the general manager."
"Don't answer." Meng Shaoyuan said without thinking: "Tell them, the district chief, no, the general manager is in a meeting and has no time to answer. I refuse to talk to the Ministry of Industry Bureau until the matter is resolved."
Claes was anxious.
He is a compromiser. Seeing the public settlement falling into chaos and gradually getting out of his control, he is more anxious than anyone else at this time.
In the past, it would have been fine if the opponent could surrender, but this time it was different.
The characteristic of the Compromisers is that they use temporary surrender in exchange for a brief period of tranquility, only to surrender again if they are threatened again.
For example, if the Japanese continue to put pressure on Klass.
What I was thinking about was how to get Klaas to get out.
If it were another person, he might be weaker than Klass, and his attitude towards the military commander would be even worse, but that is a matter for the future.
"All ministries, start taking action." Meng Shaoyuan sat there and said: "Try to calm down this storm before the New Year. Damn it, is it so difficult to spend the New Year in peace?"
