Spy Wars: Red Shopkeeper

Chapter 84 Liquidation
At 10 o'clock, the municipal government held a press conference.

Fu Xiaoan did not announce Gu Yansheng's attendance at first, so when Gu Yansheng and Fu Xiaoan entered the venue together, they attracted a lot of attention from reporters.

Although the matter had been settled internally between Gu Yansheng and Fu Xiaoan, the outside world was unaware of it, and rumors were rife that Fu Xiaoan was going to step down, so that Fu Xiaoan's credibility was now average.

But Gu Yansheng is different.

The reporter knew clearly that Gu Yansheng had just solved a big problem for the Japanese, and the shortage problem in SH city had now been alleviated. It was impossible for Gu Yansheng to step down as well.

Gu Yansheng's words can be trusted.

Fu Xiaoan knew that he was not the protagonist today, so he said a few official words and gave up his seat.

Gu Yansheng went on stage and nodded to the journalists in the audience and Hase Inkawa who came to watch.

"Welcome everyone, I am here today on behalf of the Judicial Department to inform everyone of a situation.

In recent days, thanks to the efforts of the municipal government." Gu Yansheng raised his hand, pointing it at Fu Xiaoan.

"The Judicial Department has been engaged in friendly negotiations with several foreign businesses regarding Shanghai's judicial and economic issues. Just yesterday afternoon, some of these businesses took the lead in paying a 20 percent cargo transportation deposit, clearly demonstrating their support for the Shanghai Municipal Government's judicial system development."

Wow, the mere fact that this agreement was reached was enough for reporters to ask questions, and a bunch of people immediately raised their hands and couldn't help but speak.

However, Gu Yansheng held his hand and continued:

“As for the rising prices and lack of resources that have plagued SH citizens, I believe that all my journalist friends who follow the market should know that just yesterday, this situation has been completely alleviated.

The Judicial Department has noticed recent rumors in the market that the Japanese army is going to forcibly requisition people in Shanghai. I can state here that this is completely unfounded.

Mr. Hase from the consulate is sitting here. I've had a deep conversation with him. For Shanghai's development, stability and peace are paramount. This is Mr. Hase's hope for the city.

Gu Yansheng raised his hand to Hasegawa Inkawa, who cooperated very well by nodding his head to welcome the reporters' snaps.

"The Judicial Department will be committed to combating factors that affect Shanghai's peace and stability, and we will pursue those who spread rumors to the end.

Below is a display of the deposits paid by foreign institutions to the customs department.”

As soon as Gu Yansheng finished speaking, a member of the Inspection Department came up to the stage with a British man, holding two boxes in their hands and opening them, which were full of British pounds and US dollars.

Of course, the British spent 100 pounds to hire a British homeless man to play the role. The Jewish boss of the concession couldn't afford to lose this person, so there was no room for negotiation.

As long as the meaning is similar, Gu Yansheng doesn't care.

If the British aristocrats were unhappy and felt ashamed and wanted to cause trouble for Japan, he would fully support it.

Finally, I found some free time. The piles of money were so eye-catching. Printing them on newspapers and adding money from foreign businessmen would definitely affect the sales of newspapers. The reporters immediately raised their hands and started asking questions.

Gu Yansheng said a few simple words and gave the opportunity to Chang Gu Renchuan and Fu Xiaoan.

At the same time as Gu Yansheng was speaking, the Public Office of All Industries.

The stock futures that were once hit by the floor in the past few days can be pulled up violently. The market makers cooperated with the release of favorable factors, and the futures were pulled up completely unlike the slow pace when they first opened.

The price jumped by a few dollars.

The shareholders of the Zhongye Public Office suddenly went crazy. They were not afraid of the stock falling, but they were afraid of the continuous falling. However, this kind of stock fell quickly and rose quickly as well. No matter what the reason was, just buy it!

“Buy the dip!”

"The reason has been found. Gu Yansheng said that the Japanese forced conscription was a rumor, and the Japanese have also come forward to clarify it!"

"Then what are you waiting for? Buy it! By the way, who is Gu Yansheng?"

"Deputy Director of the Judicial Department, you don't even read the newspaper news when you trade stocks. What kind of stocks are you trading?"

"Whatever. If he can make my stock go up, he must be a good person."

"I figured it was a rumor, I finally made it, hahahaha! I bought the bottom at 20 yuan, hahahaha!"

Stockholders were in high spirits, watching the staff frantically changing the price figures on the blackboard not far away, and shouting "Increase, increase, increase!"

A fiery red scene.

After the press conference, Hasegawa Inkawa was all smiles.

"The city government has been making good progress recently, thanks to Mayor Fu and Director Gu. The Military Police Headquarters is having a dance at the Overseas Chinese Club at 6 o'clock tonight. Are you interested in joining us?"

As a pro-Japanese official, he certainly would not refuse such an opportunity.

"Okay." Gu Yansheng and Fu Xiaoan looked at each other and immediately agreed.

"We will be there on time then."

"Okay, I'll send someone to deliver the invitation to you later. I'll leave first."

"Take care, Mr. Hase."

The two watched the figure go for a while, and when it disappeared, Fu Xiaoan turned back and said jokingly, "Mr. Chang Gu was talking about Director Gu. It seems that the word "deputy" in Mr. Gu's title will be removed soon. Congratulations."

Don't be jealous, I just stole your position. Gu Yansheng said seriously, "Mr. Chang Gu was just saying it casually. Besides, even if I get promoted, I'm still the director of your department, Mayor Fu. I'll write the report and you sign it." "Hahahaha." Fu Xiaoan is very well-mannered and can usually hold back his laughter, but the idea of ​​signing really made him laugh. "You... Then I'll be leaving first, you get busy."

"Hey, Mayor, take care."

Gu Yansheng smiled and nodded as he saw him off.

He thought about the evening banquet. The banquet was at six o'clock, and Lu Bowen sent the telegram at eight o'clock, so he might not be able to make it.

However, the concession is actually quite safe at this time and there is no big problem.

Liu Xiaolou has to divert.

"Small building."

"Hey, Director." Liu Xiaolou pushed the door open and came in.

Gu Yansheng said, "The Judicial Department has been doing well recently. The Inspection Department has made outstanding contributions, and the court has also been very hard at work reviewing the release list of over 2,000 people. Today, the mayor and Mr. Hase both praised our work. Please reserve a place, a larger venue, and hold a cocktail party or something. Invite everyone in the department to come and relax."

"Okay, thank you, Director."

"I don't think they'll be able to relax either. I also happen to be having a party at the Military Police Headquarters tonight, so I'm not sure if I can make it. So, you should let them relax and have fun."

"I understand. It's alright then. I'll be out first."

"Wait, there's one more thing. When I'm not around at night, they'll be more relaxed talking after eating and drinking. You can be my ears and listen to what they want. Don't worry if they say bad things about me. The main thing is, what can be improved that they normally don't dare to say."

Liu Xiaolou chuckled when he heard this: "Okay, okay, I will definitely keep a record."

"Go."

Ding-ling-ling. Ding-ling-ling.

"Hello." Gu Yansheng picked up the phone.

"Gu Yansheng! You didn't inform me before clarifying the rumors?!" Wu Sibao's roar came from the phone: "Do you know how much money I lost?"

Gu Yansheng held the microphone a little far away, and his squeal was not even as loud as a pig's.

He frowned and asked, "What's wrong? What's the point of losing money?"

"My cotton yarn futures have exploded!!" Wu Sibao was no longer yelling. Although he spoke loudly, his words were filled with heartache and grievance, and he was almost crying.

"Forty thousand! The forty thousand dollars I saved with great effort is gone."

Phew, Gu Yansheng couldn't help it.

"Who told you to trade futures? You don't even know the terminology of stocks. Aren't you asking for trouble?"

"How would I have known it would explode so quickly? Also, if you hadn't announced what a rumor was, I would have exploded it once yesterday, and I definitely wouldn't have exploded it today!"

"You exploded twice in a row? You can do that? You're more powerful than a landmine."

Gu Yansheng looked at him with admiration:
"But Wu Sibao, let me be clear. My announcement is mine, and I have no obligation to inform you in advance, right? How would I know you were trading futures?
And am I reminding people not to touch futures and instead play with stocks? At least you still have a ticket."

Wu Sibao couldn't think of any words to refute for a moment, but he still said stubbornly: "Why didn't you notify me in advance?
You don't know I'm trading futures, but I've already sent people out to seal the warehouse, right? You've already debunked the rumors, so why am I still sealing it? Isn't that a waste of manpower?

"Where's the waste? It's precisely because your people are still sealing off the area that it appears you're not cooperating with our judicial department's raids. Have you forgotten that your original intention was to catch spies? What's wrong with me calling later?"

"Fuck it." Wu Sibao was speechless after thinking about it. There was really nothing wrong with him.

I just burst into tears and said, "I lost 40,000 yuan. I saved it for a long time."

"It's okay. Can't we still make money from cotton yarn?"

"That's extra, so it can't be counted together."

Gu Yansheng sighed, "Oh, forget it. I'll help you one last time. Buy long. How much is cotton yarn futures now?"

"How much is the cotton yarn? Let me ask you, how much is the cotton yarn? Oh, the cotton yarn is almost 80 yuan."

"Listen carefully, buy high. Fu Xiaoan told me that the price of cotton yarn will be above 100. I told you in advance. If there are any problems, don't come to me. I also heard it from him."

"Dad, you are my real dad!"

"Don't be so mean. One minute late means one dollar is gone."

"When I have time, I'll treat you to a meal and a bath. It's all on me!"

The phone was hung up in a second.

If you were your father, even your ancestral graves would be dug up.

Gu Yansheng really hoped that Fu Xiaoan had given false information, as that would be fun.
