Chapter 1099 Zhou Dezhong recovers Chinese tariffs
The conditions for the reopening of trade with Japan, no matter what the name is, are always blamed on the concession issue. After returning the Wuhan Concession in China, the Japanese government suffered tremendous pressure, but also started part of the trade. Can China leave Japanese goods? In fact, it is also inseparable. Needless to say, the special steel used to make tanks has to be imported from Japan. Therefore, Japan needs China to open the market door, and China also needs Japanese goods. Although the two sides broke up their faces and negotiated, they did not give up on the negotiations.
This time, the negotiators of both China and Japan became Yasuya Uchida and Wang Maoru, the old opponents sat at the negotiating table again. Wang Maoru was not a suitable candidate for negotiation. His personality was too tough, but Wang Maoru was familiar with Japan and everything about Japan. He had already touched his opponent very clearly. He even knew that the Japanese cabinet had designated a ten-year retaliation plan, that is, ten years later, Japan restored its national strength and attacked China, and used Japan's strong naval advantages to launch armed provocations against China.
Since the Japanese have been preparing to lie on firewood and taste gall for ten years, they will definitely not give up on negotiations today. The longer the Japanese have delayed, the more difficult it will be for the Japanese country to rise again. So Wang Maoru can afford to spend time and continue to tease Japan. But Yasuya Uchida can't wait. The cabinet turned out that Nishizoji repeatedly urged him to reach an agreement to open the Chinese market as soon as possible.
The closed market between China and Japan is also hovering in the air because of the concession problem.
Yasuya Uchida was extremely sad. Nishinoji was forcing himself to take the blame. It is very likely that after signing the contract for the return of the concession between China and Japan, he was immediately dismissed, and it was not certain whether he could even return to Japan alive. But sooner or later, someone would have to do this. It was either himself or someone else. Yasuya Uchida did not believe in other people's abilities, and he was afraid of losing more.
During the three-day and three-night negotiations between the two sides, Wang Maoru was aggressive, and Yasuya Uchida was neither humble nor arrogant. The negotiations were missing and stalemate.
First, how big is the scope of the return of the concession? The scope proposed by Wang Maoru even includes the South Manchuria Railway, Taiwan and Dalian Lushun, while the Japanese provide Chongqing Concession, Tianjin Concession, Suzhou Concession, and Hangzhou Concession. Wang Maoru proposed to return Qingdao, but the Japanese insisted on not returning Qingdao. For the Japanese government, Qingdao was the second springboard for Japan to enter China and became one of the focus of this dispute.
Second, the issue of the amount of return. Obviously, the Japanese government hopes to make a fortune through this. But the Chinese government also needs to recover with the minimum loss. The requirements of the two sides are far apart to 100 million silver dollars. How can we talk about this?
Third, the issue of the name of return is that the Chinese government naturally wants to take reclaim, but the Japanese government actually proposed to borrow temporarily - it really made Wang Maoru furious. After we recovered our Chinese land, you still borrow temporarily. Why don’t you lend me your wife?
These problems have tortured the Chinese and Japanese negotiators for two months, and they will not be able to be resolved in a short while. If Japan's domestic economy was not about to collapse, they need the international market, especially the large market of China, and the Japanese government would never make any compromises.
At this time, the General Administration of Customs of China suddenly broke out in the newspaper. Several representatives of the Bank of China's British, American, French and Japanese banks and foreign customs employees were reported that they took Chinese money to go to Shanghai casinos to make big gambles and lost nearly 200,000 silver dollars.
The largest newspaper in Shanghai, "Hushen News", is a newspaper in the French Concession. They published photos of customs foreigners and employees of the Four Bank of China gambled in casinos, and clearly showed their drunken ugly appearance to all Chinese people. Foreigners took the Chinese customs income to go to the casino to gamble. What happened? Suddenly, the people of China were angry. Shanghai students and workers took the lead in launching a demonstration to protest the customs personnel's behavior of playing with Chinese feelings.
There was a huge conspiracy behind this incident. Wang Maoru laughed after seeing the newspaper. It must be Zhou Qude. Sure enough, Zhou Dezhong sent back a secret message and told Wang Maoru that all this was carefully arranged by him.
Wang Maoru gave Zhou Dezhong a task, and he would go to Shanghai to recover the tariffs. Zhou Dezhong thought for a long time and thought about a plan. He prepared in Beijing and found a French-speaking Belarus who only spoke French. He told him that we would go to Shanghai to cheat some money, so Belarus was naturally willing, so he went to Shanghai with Zhou Dezhong. After arriving in Shanghai, the two opened a company in the French concession, and said that they had something to do with the drug, and they started business everywhere.
Nowadays, the drugs produced in China are the most popular, and the two companies immediately attracted the attention of many people. After all, governments from various countries sent personnel to China to buy isatis powder made in China and spent a lot of money. However, the Chinese government strictly controlled the goods and governments could only buy them in small quantities. Zhou Dezhong, who was standing behind the Central Government, was extremely easy to get the medicine. Soon ten tons of isatis powder were secretly transported to the French Concession in Shanghai and sold to the French government.
Although it was sold quietly, how could spies from various countries not know the news? Suddenly, Zhou Dezhong and Belarusian assistant companies became popular immediately. Everyone knows that there is a French talent in mainland China who can bribe Chinese officials. When martial law is in China, there are still people who can get smuggled drugs without fear of death. What a powerful and secret relationship.
Zhou Dezhong then asked someone to meet foreign employees of China Customs on the grounds that smuggled goods could not be transported out of China. Although these foreign employees were serving Chinese customs, China Customs was in the hands of the people of the Bank of Siguo. To put it bluntly, they served foreigners. They naturally wanted to help their country. Then, Zhou Dezhong met several managers and leaders of the Bank of Siguo through foreign employees on the grounds that he wanted to expand the company's scale to apply for loans.
After dating several times, although the loan would not come down so quickly, it would not prevent both parties from becoming friends. Zhou Dezhong and Belarus invited them to go to the casino and brothel to play. During this period, with the help of agents of the CIC Division, several people were so stunned that they lost money and lost money by playing cards. But Zhou Dezhong said that the money they lost was his own, and he made a fortune, and ten tons of isatis roots were enough for everyone to play. So everyone continued to play in the casino, but unexpectedly, these foreign employees won the money instead, and everyone was very happy. Then Zhou Dezhong invited them again, looking at them for a few days, making them all think they were like gambling gods.
After the bait was put on, he continued to put the trap. Then Zhou Dezhong took them to the casino. After overnight, he lost tens of thousands of yuan, and owed tens of thousands of silver dollars to the gang. Even Zhou Dezhong had no choice. Although he and the company of Belarus quickly sat down, the Chinese government investigated it very strictly and the medicine could not be transported to the French Concession, which still took time. At the suggestion of Belarus, he said that it would be better to get it back from the Bank of Four. Of course, a few timids were very scared. Zhou Dezhong said that our next purchase of goods would arrive soon. After the goods arrived, nothing was counted as money. Take a little less from the Bank of Four to see if it could be recovered. If it was best to get it back, if my goods could not be recovered, we should take action immediately as soon as I arrived in Shanghai and we would make up the hole.
Under the induced sensation of Zhou Dezhong and Belarus, the group secretly took some money and went to gamble, and then lost money, gambling and losing money. One day they discovered that Zhou Dezhong and Belarus were missing, and they suddenly realized that they had embezzled 200,000 tariffs.
Closing the Internet!
So the Shanghai Report Paper began, and the "Examination", "Youth Daily" and "Shanghai Morning News" expanded to major newspapers across the country, all competing to report on the transfer of customs duties by foreign employees in China.
Chinese Minister of Internal Affairs Xu Lanzhou, Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Wang Yongjiang, Minister of Justice Zhou Daotai, and Deputy Minister of Justice Jian Zanlu also investigated the case of Chinese customs corruption in the hands of the Four Kingdoms Bank. Congress immediately voted on both houses and allowed the investigation of Chinese customs with a 96% vote rate.
