Chapter 52 Director Zheng has a lot of authority!
Chapter 52 Director Zheng has a lot of authority!
"Chief?"
A hint of doubt flashed in Lin Wan's eyes, and she vaguely felt that a lot had happened in the three days she had been away.
Those who are called "chiefs" hold positions of considerable importance!
Although she had doubts, her professional habits told her what questions she should and shouldn't ask.
Since Lao Zhang didn't bring it up, we might as well just follow behind.
They've already brought her to see the leader, which shows they trust her.
I believe I will meet that leader soon, so there is no need to ask any more questions.
You'll understand everything once you see it in a little while.
Lin Wan pursed her lips and obediently followed beside him, listening carefully to the conversation between Lao Zhang and the middle-aged man.
"Old Du, will this be your company warehouse from now on?"
"Yes, there will always be a transit station for transporting supplies in the future, and this place is just right."
"You've met with them? What's your public identity now?"
"I've met with Manager Lu and the three bosses these past few days. They've publicly identified him as a manager from the south."
"Would they believe that?"
"I've already spread the word that I have high-ranking officials in the Nationalist government, four major families, military personnel, and Americans behind me. Even if there's an investigation, it won't be until several months later."
"With so many powerful factions involved, even if the Security Bureau wanted to investigate, they could only do so secretly; it wouldn't be fast!"
"Hahaha……!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, both understanding the meaning behind the other's smile.
Lin Wan listened attentively from the side and also gained a lot of important information.
First of all, this middle-aged man called Lao Du should be the scapegoat sent by the organization.
He will then appear in public, claiming to be a businessman representing the man.
And stockings were his merchandise.
His appearance will inevitably attract attention from all sides.
Investigating his background and connections became inevitable.
If he has powerful backing, then let's do business amicably and make money together.
But if it's just a businessman with no background, then he's a fat sheep that can be taken at will!
However, the organization must have made preparations regarding his identity if it dared to send him here.
Even if the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics wants to investigate, there will be no problem with my identity.
However, the supporters behind him are completely fabricated.
So Lao Du decided to muddy the waters and secretly spread false information to those gossips.
This led others to believe that he had many supporters and a great deal of power.
In this way, no one dares to touch him until the matter is thoroughly investigated.
Those so-called people behind the scenes are all powerful figures who are not people the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics dare not offend easily.
Therefore, the investigation will be hampered and the progress will be very slow.
Among so many people, as long as there is still one person whose relationship with Lao Du has not been clarified, no one dares to make any rash moves.
By the time the investigation is fully completed, it will take at least three to five months of back-and-forth investigation.
We didn't even need to wait three to five months; after the liberation of Shanghai, there were no more concerns.
The arrogant and domineering Secret Service has become like stray dogs, hiding as fast as they can, and no one cares about a businessman's affairs.
By then, it's uncertain who will be the fattest sheep!
The three of them went up to the office on the second floor, knocked twice lightly, and then pushed the door open and entered.
Du Hengtai reported, "Director, Comrade Lin Wan and Comrade Lao Zhang have arrived."
The order in which the reports were ranked reveals how important he considered them.
Although he only nodded when he entered, in his heart Lin Wan's importance not only surpassed that of Lao Zhang, but he himself was also prepared to sacrifice himself at any time to protect Lin Wan!
The man sitting at the desk stood up, revealing an ordinary face under the light.
He said in a gentle voice, "Comrades, you've all worked hard."
Although the voice was calm, it sounded like heavenly music to the two of them.
Lin Wan's big, watery eyes widened in excitement, as if she had just seen her idol.
Fortunately, she remembered her identity as an underground party member, otherwise she almost couldn't resist rushing up to ask for an autograph!
Even Lao Zhang stared in astonishment, his face filled with disbelief.
Because of the matter of time-space teleportation of supplies, he knew that the central government would definitely take it seriously once it received the news.
Then send the most trustworthy person to take charge of this matter.
Unexpectedly, the person who came was a veteran of the Shanghai intelligence station!
He was, in a way, their former superior, Zheng Changlin, the director of the Central North China Bureau who assisted in handling intelligence affairs.
According to the information Lao Zhang received, Director Zheng was in Beiping overseeing the operation to eliminate hidden spies. Unexpectedly, he was sent to Shanghai!
From now on, he will lead all underground work in Shanghai.
Old Zhang knew very well that, on the surface, all the underground work in Shanghai revolved around Director Zheng.
But the real focus at this moment is the young girl next to me.
She is the key figure who will determine China's future development!
"Comrade Lin Wan, the medicine you brought back saved the lives of many comrades and ordinary people. On behalf of the organization, I commend you!"
Director Zheng shook hands with them warmly and expressed his appreciation for their recent work.
Even with his legendary experience, he was stunned when he saw two thousand vials of penicillin.
I finally understand why the central government attaches so much importance to this and specially sent him back to work in Shanghai.
At the same time, he was given a great deal of authority, and could make any decision independently based on the circumstances, provided that Comrade Lin Wan's safety was ensured.
Even in times of crisis, they can contact the 9th Army Corps, which is closest to Shanghai, for support!
It can be said that the permissions are fully utilized!
Fortunately, the drones haven't been shipped out yet, otherwise the access privileges would probably have to be upgraded even further!
Lin Wan, holding her idol's hand, excitedly reported: "Commander... Director, I've brought back a new batch of supplies! Among them are 5,000 vials of penicillin, 10,000 tablets of quinine, 10,000 tablets of chloroquine phosphate, and 100,000 pairs of stockings!"
Comrade Chen Huai'an suggested that 50,000 pairs of shoes be exchanged with the three major bosses for antiques and medicinal materials, to be used for future procurement expenses.
The remaining 50,000 pairs were transported to Beiping (Beijing) for sale, to earn money from landlords and capitalists, which was then used to improve the lives of ordinary people.
Old Zhang was taken aback, then asked in surprise, "Why doesn't Comrade Huai'an purchase another 50,000 pairs to sell in Shanghai?"
When nylon stockings were first sold in Shanghai, a staggering 7 pairs were sold on the first day.
Given the advantages of core-spun stockings, they could probably sell 100,000 pairs a day!
Fifty thousand pairs of stockings are just a drop in the ocean for Shanghai, the largest metropolis in the Far East.
It's simply not enough for this huge market to absorb in a single day.
Lin Wan explained with a smile, "Comrade Huai'an said this is called regulating the supply and demand relationship to create the illusion of supply falling short of demand and maintain product profits. This is called 'hunger marketing.' Otherwise, given the nature of the three big bosses, they would take advantage of the large volume to lower prices afterward. When Shanghai is liberated in the future, we can take it back and operate it ourselves, and then lower the prices."
Du Hengtai, skilled in economics, immediately grasped the key to the matter.
I couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise: "Comrade Huai'an is truly a master of business!"
