Golden Scale Club [Republic of China + Jiang Chengyan X Mu Bingci]

In November of the 16th year of the Republic of China, a series of large-scale protests broke out in Shanghai.First, the students went on strike, and the police station came forward to stop them. As a result, some policemen couldn't withstand the crowd's attack, and fired at the students in anger. They shot and killed five students on the spot and injured more than [-] others.

This incident caused a wave of waves, followed by businessmen in the entire Shanghai city. The businessmen spontaneously organized a team to sit in front of the Ministry of Industry Bureau, demanding that the authorities replace Yang Tianze, the chief inspector of the patrol room, and thoroughly clean up the vicious organization. The high-level officials of the bureau, represented by the president Fei Xinchun, published an apology to the dead students in the newspaper.

The anger of public opinion was like a shocking wave, sweeping and submerging the entire city at once.

The cause of the incident was an ordinary bank theft case.

This bank is not well-known in a big city like Shanghai, and most of its usual customers are traditional old business retailers, and the daily business volume is not large.The bank therefore made plans to reduce staff.Before this matter was implemented, it was quietly found out by a few employees below, and two or three people gathered together to discuss it. Instead of being fired by the boss, they would only have to pay a few months' salary.Why don't you make a big deal before you leave while you are still in office, at least you can make a living for ten or eight years.

When these people add up, they will be tempted.A few people cooperated inside and outside, and stole several safes in the bank that were not frequently accessed during weekdays.

Coincidentally, just a few days later, just as these people were about to leave their jobs, a customer who didn't have frequent contacts suddenly came to the bank to cancel the account, and wanted to withdraw a large amount of banknotes, gold and silver in the safe.This business was personally received by the director of the bank, and the procedures were complete. The customer was taken to the safe for a look, and the banknotes and gold were reduced by [-]% to [-]%.The client was furious on the spot, and the director was afraid of taking responsibility, so he immediately reported to the police station.

Detective Gao Fei brought people over to investigate one by one, and found those employees.These people must be taken into custody and interrogated. Of course, the owner of the safe and the contents inside are also in the hands of the patrol room, so they will not be easily known to outsiders.But one of those few people has a lot of heart, knowing that if the theft is exposed, he will be doomed.So during the investigation period, I left a letter to my family, confessing that if I was taken, I would hand over the letter to major newspapers.

After the interrogation at the police station, a piece of shocking news blew up the whole of Shanghai.

It turned out that one of the owners of the safe was the chief inspector of the police station, Yang Tianze.Inspector Yang's safe does not contain much property, but it is full of land deeds and assignment documents.There are two villas in Shanghai, two underground banks, and a transfer of ownership of a tobacco shop.The transferor is none other than Yan Luo, the head of the Nest Club who has recently become famous.

As the saying goes, everyone pushes against the wall, Yan Luo was originally on the cusp of the storm, and all major newspapers rushed to report on matters related to him.The evil gangsters colluded with the official and righteous patrol room, and now they have stabbed a hornet's nest. In order to grab the headlines, the newspapers rushed to print newspapers almost before dawn. .

This time, the Ministry of Industry Bureau issued two consecutive announcements last month clarifying that the authorities and the Chaohui had no cooperation and involvement, and directly slapped it back on the face of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau, like two big heads slapped the Ministry of Industry Bureau with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

As soon as the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry learned of this, Fei Xinchun was furious. He immediately convened a board of directors and ordered the police department, the upper-level agency of the police station, to directly send people to take over the bank theft case in order to try it fairly.At the same time, the police department was required to strictly investigate the major arrest houses in the concession, and dealt with more than a dozen inspectors and inspectors who took advantage of their positions to embezzle and bribe.Naturally, Yang Tianze's economic problems were investigated to the bottom, which also involved Xu Min, the upper-level Hua Dong of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau, with his unclear property transactions.

The police quickly dealt with the incident and thoroughly investigated all departments of the authority from top to bottom. However, the procedures and detailed investigations within the agency still take a lot of time.Public anger swept over like a monstrous wave, especially the young students who were the most radical. Three to five days after the incident, thousands of people were organized to commit suicide on the street, pointing at the ineffective supervision of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.The patrol room had no choice but to maintain law and order with a team, but the shooting of the students aroused more intense resistance and opposition from other social groups.

Social movements are fermenting in the residual heat of late autumn, and the waves are surging.The turmoil caused by the school strikes and city strikes has almost paralyzed the entire city.The Bureau of the Ministry of Industry was forced to conduct self-inspection and rectified from top to bottom, and half of the directors of the agencies fell into the water.

Since the establishment of the Concession, Fei Xinchun was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to die. While announcing the investigation results of the case to the public, he asked the Office of Academic Affairs and the Office of Labor and Social Affairs to mediate the student workers' movement and deal with the police who fired shots at the crowd in accordance with the law.At the same time, he personally met Jiang Chengyan, chairman of the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce, and implored the General Chamber of Commerce to mediate the strike movement.

When Fei Xinchun met and shook hands with Jiang Chengyan in the conference hall of the Ministry of Industry Building, he recognized that this person was the one he had bumped into at the North Sichuan Road cinema not long ago.Jiang Chengyan gave him a faint smile: "Mr. Fei Xinchun, it's a pleasure to meet you again."

Naturally, Fei Xinchun first thought of the embarrassing side of the movie theater, and quickly realized that he held Jiang Chengyan's hand firmly, and laughed with the contagious expression unique to foreigners: "So it's Mr. Jiang!"

Fei Xinchun's sincere attitude can be seen from the seats arranged for the meeting.Seats with distinct levels are distinguished by primary and secondary positions.However, Fei Xinchun and Jiang Chengyan sat on both sides of the corner of the oval table in the seat arranged by Fei Xinchun, sitting side by side as the host and guest do as they please.

Fei Xinchun originally prepared an official draft, but seeing that it was Jiang Chengyan, he immediately felt that this person could help him solve the troubles of the authorities.So I put away the manuscript, and talked with Jiang Chengyan from the bottom of the mouth, and gradually got to the topic of the interview.

"The current situation in Shanghai, Mr. Jiang must be clear. I am very sorry for the management department of this bureau for causing such a bad situation to the citizens. The first purpose of the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry is to standardize the management of the concession and develop the local economy and culture. The current situation violates this original purpose. For this, I solemnly apologize to the Chinese businessmen group represented by Mr. Jiang."

"The Chinese merchant group, represented by Mr. Jiang, paid the authorities a full amount of taxes in time to support the development of the concession. The company run by Mr. Jiang himself even took on half of the funds for the army of the Wan Guo Merchant Group of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. You support the authorities so much The board of directors of the authority should make good use of these taxes to seek better benefits for the people in the concession. But unfortunately, such a problem has occurred in our administrative agency, and I am very angry about it. I promise Mr. Jiang that the board of directors will definitely We will thoroughly investigate this matter and give the taxpayer a satisfactory answer."

Jiang Chengyan laughed secretly in his heart, this matter has pierced the sky, and no one has the ability to force this situation down.There is no better way except for the Ministry of Industry and Bureau to prove its innocence and coordinate various forces to mediate the movement one by one.This is what Fei Xinchun's attitude means. There are not a few people who are responsible for this matter, and these people will definitely be dealt with.

"Mr. Fei is determined. Since Mr. Fei is determined to thoroughly investigate the organization, I believe there will be satisfactory results. At that time, the board of directors will definitely issue a notice to announce the results of the handling to the public."

Fei Xinchun nodded: "Yes. Mr. Jiang is absolutely right. In addition, the police department will strengthen public security inspections and seal up all illegally operated casinos, brothels, and smoking halls in the concession. It is necessary to give business groups and ordinary people in the concession a A benign business and living environment for the people.”

Jiang Chengyan didn't take the initiative to answer his latent words, but he was neither humble nor overbearing, and calmly followed the obvious meaning: "Mr. Fei has such a determination, which is the good news for the compatriots in the business world."

Fei Xinchun had no choice but to make the cheeky request by himself: "Thank you very much Mr. Jiang for his understanding and support for the work of the authorities. Here, on behalf of the board of directors of the authority, I would like to make an unfeeling request to the Chinese business groups represented by Mr. Jiang. The strike of Chinese businessmen has already As a result, the economic order of the concession and even the entire Shanghai is in chaos, Mr. Jiang, please set an example for the Chinese merchants, and in the name of the General Chamber of Commerce, coordinate the businessmen of the local chambers of commerce to stop the strike movement and open the market as usual."

In fact, from the perspective of the interests of businessmen, a strike can paralyze the city's life and economic order.Social group movements have their specific timeliness, and often as stressful events lengthen the timeline, the enthusiasm for group movements will gradually fade.Therefore, the opening of the market is a matter of time.It's just that because the Ministry of Industry and Commerce is being forced too hard, it has already messed up like a headless fly.In addition to the shooting of the students a few days ago, the authorities felt weak and weak, and only wanted to calm down the incident quickly.

Jiang Chengyan didn't have the bodhisattva's heart to explain this simple secret, and said with an attitude: "Shanghai's order is based on the protection of the interests of all groups. Mr. Fei's request on behalf of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, I will cooperate with various chambers of commerce. Coordination. But before that, the Chamber of Commerce needs to see the attitude of the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry. As long as the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry handles the recent cases legally and reasonably, so that there is no reason for the intensification of group movements, the order in Shanghai will naturally return to normal. This point, Mr. Fei must be very clear."

Fei Xinchun nodded in agreement.

In the next half month, the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry quickly dealt with the theft case, the arrest house and the bribery case of the board of directors, and the case of shooting and killing students.Yang Tianze was dismissed from the position of Chief Inspector of the Patrol Office, and Xu Min, Hua Dong of the board of directors, was also involved in corruption and was removed from the post of general director.As for Yin Zhu who shot and killed the student, he was arrested and sentenced to prison according to the law.At the same time, the police department directly established a city inspection guard, and all underground casinos, brothels and smoking dens were closed down.

Half a month later, Jiang Chengyan notified local chambers of commerce in the name of the general chamber of commerce that the strike was over.At the same time, Fei Xinchun ordered Jiang Chengyan, the board of directors of the Ministry of Industry Bureau, to issue a circular letter, appointing Jiang Chengyan as the Chinese general director of the board of directors of the Ministry of Industry Bureau, replacing Xu Min as the general director.

The Ministry of Industry's appointment of Jiang Chengyan as its director may not be out of consideration for bringing Chinese business groups under its rule.

In any case, the mighty turmoil in Shanghai for a month has come to an end.

At the beginning of December this year, the weather was very cold, much colder than the normal winter climate in the south of the Yangtze River.

Jiang Chengyan became an official from a businessman, and became an official in a foreign government in a sudden change. Since then, he has become even more busy.Although the work is busy, but the relationship with Mu Bingci is as sweet and hearty as ever.

It was snowing in the afternoon of this day, and Jiang Chengyan answered the call from Lao Wan, the bank's general manager, in his office.

Lao Wan: "Boss, you have taken a fancy to the villa on Foch Road, and finally found out. It is said that it was the house of an English-Jewish businessman who returned to China after his wife passed away. Although there is no one in this house now, Living, but it’s not easy to buy or sell. Would you like to look at other houses?”

Jiang Chengyan held the microphone, thought for a while and said, "No, I want this house. You can contact the director of another bank to see if you can find a way to buy this house."

Seeing the [-]% increase in salary, Lao Wan didn't dare to reveal his dissatisfaction, and said in a good voice: "All right, boss, if you really like it, then I'll ask you again."

Jiang Chengyan said: "Okay. I bought this house as a gift, and I will use it in another twenty days. I will leave the formalities to you."

The meaning of these words is not the same as Lao Wan's "I'll ask you again".This is actually the meaning of forcing it to be implemented.And still within 20 days.Lao Wan's face turned green, and he thought to himself that he had no choice, why can't you understand people's words?It's hard enough to give someone this job, though you get a good salary increase.

Jiang Chengyan hung up the phone, flipped through the office calendar on the table, looked at the [-]th and [-]rd of the winter solstice, and smiled.

The winter solstice is Mu Bing's birthday, and the purpose of taking this name is to hope that he will quit the frost and not be bullied by the severe cold all his life.It seems that it is a name that Mu Chengshan can choose.

Since Mu Bingci wants to take root in Shanghai, the house is a symbol, and there must be a set.I don't know if this gift won't win the heart of that little thing.

The desk phone rang inadvertently.Jiang Chengyan picked it up, and heard Du Yiheng's voice say: "Third brother, today the pier received a greeting card, and it was written by Yan Luo."

Jiang Chengyan frowned, and said slightly mockingly: "Waiting for the pier? Yan Luo just came to Shanghai more than ten years ago, didn't he already visit the wharf of the Green Gang? What does it mean to come here again today? Could it be that he was investigated by the Ministry of Industry?" There is almost no place to live, do you want me to beg for food?"
