China has been in turmoil for decades. Every time a regime changes and is established, this kind of thing is bound to happen. The establishment of a pseudo-government is illegitimate and is despised by the people. So they especially like to do these things, but it is just self-deception.
The convoy arrived at the Fujiwara Company. Ning Zhiheng got out of the car, looked around, and saw that the streets were full of eye-catching Kuomintang flags. He frowned and stepped into the Fujiwara Company's office building.
When Kamo Yoshitomo saw Ning Zhiheng arrive, he quickly followed him to the office on the third floor. Ning Zhiheng instructed him, "In a couple of days, Mr. Kang from Huitai Trading Company will come to our company to pick up goods. From now on, we must give them priority in supplying goods. Do our best to meet their needs, understand?"
This Huitai Trading Company is the new trading company opened by Kang Xuezhi. Ning Zhiheng felt it was necessary to arrange for this trading company to have the background of a subsidiary of Fujiwara Company, so that if any problems arose, he could find an excuse to intervene, just like he protected Qin Lechi in Shanghai, and protect them.
Upon hearing this, Kamo Yoshitomo dared not be negligent and quickly and carefully memorized the name of the trading company. For the chairman to personally arrange this, the trading company must have an impressive background, and he had to pay close attention to it.
Ning Zhiheng continued, "Alright, go get this quarter's accounts, I'll check them."
Kamo Yoshitomo agreed, turned and left. A short while later, he returned with the accounts. Ning Zhiheng waved for him to leave and began to review the accounts himself.
Not long after, Ning Zhiheng called Kamo Yoshichi in again. Looking at the accounts, he asked, "I remember that Shanghai Lehe Trading Company sends a batch of goods through our channels every month. Which company is the buyer?"
Upon hearing this, Kamo Yoshitomo nodded and said, "The buyer's company has always been Maoyuan Trading Company, but four months ago, some problems arose. For one month, Lehe Trading Company did not ship the goods. After that, when the goods were shipped again, the buyer changed to a company called Tongmanfu Trading Company, and the boss was Gu Chengze."
Do you know the location?
“We live two blocks apart, on the corner of Donghua Street. I’ve been there once; the storefront isn’t big, it’s a newly opened shop.”
Ning Zhiheng understood that after Huiyuan Trading Company was exposed, the underground party organization quickly established Tongmanfu Trading Company as a new transportation channel.
So he instructed Kamo Yoshitomo: "Kamo-kun, our Fujiwara Company is growing stronger every day, but the tallest tree in the forest catches the most eye. So you must be careful and cautious. Keep all information about our transactions confidential and absolutely do not let anyone have access to it. The specific details of the transactions must be known only to you. No matter who asks, you must not reveal them. Do you understand?"
Kamo Yoshitomo knew, of course, that his company had started out in smuggling. Although everyone knew about these things, they couldn't be brought up in the open. He quickly bowed and replied, "I understand. Please rest assured. I usually divide the business among myself. The general staff only know about their respective responsibilities. I handle all the transactions personally and will never leak them out."
Ning Zhiheng specifically instructed Kamo Yoshitomo to be on the safe side. If a similar situation were to occur again, and the Tongmanfu Trading Company were exposed, it would prevent someone from following this lead to the Lehe Trading Company in Shanghai, which would expose Qin Lechi and endanger the Shanghai underground party organization. Fortunately, most of the business of his Fujiwara Company was shady, and ordinary intelligence agencies would not dare to investigate him.
After Ning Zhiheng explained everything, he handed the accounts to Kamo Yoshitomo and said, "Keep them safe. Remember, it's always better to be safe than sorry. Don't think that just because our Fujiwara Company has a powerful background, we can act without restraint. After all, this is Nanjing, not Shanghai!"
Kamo Yoshitomo bowed and accepted the order, then took the accounts and left.
Just then, Ning Zhiheng suddenly heard a loud commotion outside the window. He was startled, stood up, went to the window, and looked out.
On the street, a crowd surged and stumbled toward them, their faces filled with terror. Some held signs in their hands, while others simply threw them on the ground. These were the same protesters that Ning Zhiheng had seen earlier, hired by the puppet government.
Suddenly, sporadic gunshots rang out behind them, and the crowd erupted like a burst dam, screaming and running as if being chased, creating an increasingly chaotic scene.
At that moment, the door was pushed open, and Yi Hua'an strode in, urgently reporting, "President, there's been a riot outside! The whole street is a mess, full of people!"
"I saw it, do you know why?"
"I don't know. Kimura has already ordered all the guards to be on alert and sent me to ask you whether we should evacuate this place immediately?"
"What's the panic? It's so chaotic outside. If you don't understand the situation, it will be even more dangerous to go out. In addition to the guards, issue guns and ammunition to all company employees in preparation for any eventuality!"
Also, notify the military police headquarters and the police department, and tell them to send people immediately!
The employees of the Fujiwara Company were all Japanese expatriates recruited from Shanghai. Most of these people had received some military training in Japan, and at the very least, they had no problem using guns.
Yi Hua'an accepted the order and left. At this moment, the streets outside became even more chaotic, with cries and screams filling the air. When Ning Zhiheng came to the window again, he had excellent eyesight and could vaguely see the figures of Japanese soldiers behind the crowd.
What's going on here? These protesters were hired by the puppet government to put on a show and sing praises. The event must have been planned in advance, so why were Japanese soldiers driving them away?
