Chapter 906 Getting rich
"Report!" A voice rang out from outside the office door.
Zhang Yunhe stopped writing with his pen, looked up and called out, "Come in!"
Wu Chenggang, the office director, wearing a suit, pushed open the door and walked in. Behind him was a young man carrying a cardboard box. The two entered the office one after the other. The young man closed the door behind him and then went to the desk and placed the cardboard box on the coffee table next to him.
Wu Chenggang handed over a folder and said, "Sir, this is the list of the foreign officials who have been in contact with me over the past three days. They have completed the handover of everything they agreed to. The new house and shop deeds, as well as the shareholding documents, are all in that cardboard box. There are 203 documents in total."
"In addition, some other foreigners in lower positions or wealthy foreign businessmen have also received the news. Starting this afternoon, a few of them have come to the headquarters to contact me. They also want to leave. What do you think..."
Zhang Yunhe said, "Right now, supplies are scarce on the island. These foreigners staying here are not only useless to us, but they've become a burden. We can't fight them, we can't scold them, and I'm worried they might be secretly colluding with the Japanese to leak our secrets in order to survive."
"Since they want to leave, let them leave. As long as they can afford the airfare, we'll take their houses if they own them, their shops if they own them, and we'll also take their company shares, cultural relics, antiques, paintings, and gold!"
"Just remember one thing: the more valuable the things they bring out, the better treatment they should receive, and vice versa! For example, the highest-class ones can be arranged to leave first, with only 5 people on a plane, and they can bring more luggage; the slightly lower-class ones can be arranged with 10 people on a plane, and so on. It's about making money, so it's not shameful!"
Wu Chenggang bowed: "This subordinate understands!"
Zhang Yunhe waved his hand.
"Yes!" Wu Chenggang and the young staff bowed and left the office.
Zhang Yunhe got up, walked to the coffee table, opened the cardboard box, and took out a share transfer document. It was a port share transfer document, which the previous owner had already signed. The transfer amount was £1.
Once Zhang Yunhe signs his name, 53% of the port's shares will be his, and he will have absolute control. If the company's articles of association and special resolutions do not require relevant restrictions, it can be said that these shares will have absolute control over the port's operating policies, budget approvals, personnel appointments and removals.
The second document is about the transfer of a 3% controlling stake in a HSBC branch. The staff has already categorized these documents, putting all the corporate equity transfer agreements together and the real estate and store ownership transfer documents together.
After reviewing several documents, Zhang Yunhe discovered that he now owned 18% of the shares in HSBC's branch. Although he was not the largest shareholder, he was the fourth largest shareholder.
Besides the HSBC shares, Zhang Yunhe also found share transfer documents for two other banks and six other banks in the cardboard box, all for a symbolic £1.
Next, he spent 15 minutes signing his name on each of the more than 200 documents.
The foreign devils have been exploiting us here for a hundred years. Although we haven't gotten back the principal and interest this time, we have at least recovered some of the interest.
After signing all the documents, Zhang Yunhe picked up the phone and dialed the number of the director of the Governor's Office.
"Director Wu, I've already signed all these documents. Please take some people to the relevant departments to complete the remaining procedures!"
"Okay sir!"
Not long after, Wu Chenggang and his men took all the documents from the cardboard box.
"Knock knock knock," the office door was knocked on again.
"Go in!" Zhang Yunhe shouted.
The secretary pushed open the door and came in to report, "Sir, the head of the intelligence section has arrived."
"Let him in"
"Yes!"
Ah Gui pushed the door open, walked in, and then closed it behind him.
"gentlemen!"
Zhang Yunhe put down his pen, leaned back in his chair, and asked, "Do you have any intelligence to report?"
Ah Gui opened the folder and said, "Yes! International intelligence: the Japanese suffered a crushing defeat at Midway, with four aircraft carriers and one heavy cruiser sunk and more than 3000 men killed."
"Information from agents of the Far East Intelligence Agency indicates that a great famine has occurred in the Central Plains region, with at least one million people starving to death!"
"The Japanese devils launched a large-scale mopping-up operation, causing great destruction to various places."
"Furthermore, several Japanese spies we recruited have returned to the Ran Agency and successfully passed Maeda's screening. They are now working within the Ran Agency, and we have finally extended our reach into the Japanese intelligence community."
Zhang Yunhe smiled upon hearing this: "Well done. Now that the net has been cast, we need to make them work and gather as much intelligence as possible about the Japanese!"
"understand!"
……
The French Concession in Shanghai.
In the morning, Fan Biao lay on a recliner under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard, pretending to doze off, slowly fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan.
The courtyard gate creaked. Fan Biao, who was pretending to be asleep, reached for his pistol at his waist. He opened his eyes slightly, saw that it was the old servant returning from buying groceries, put the pistol back, and continued to fan himself with a palm leaf fan.
The old servant, carrying a vegetable basket and a newspaper, walked towards Fan Biao after closing the courtyard gate.
"Master, the newspapers for this morning have arrived!" the old servant said, handing over the newspapers.
Fan Biao opened his eyes, reached out and took the newspaper. After just one glance, he was so shocked that he sat up from the recliner and cursed through gritted teeth, "Those beasts from the Special Higher Police!"
The old servant was about to take the vegetable basket to the kitchen when he heard Fan Biao cursing. He stopped and asked, "Master, what's wrong?"
Fan Biao, regaining his composure from his anger, suppressed his rage and waved his hand, saying, "It's alright!"
After the old servant left, Fan Biao continued reading the newspaper. The more he read, the angrier he became. The newspaper reported that the Japanese had arrested more than 120 people, including the leaders and ordinary henchmen of Fan Biao's dock gang. As a result, the docks had been left unmanaged for the past few days. The dockworkers were afraid to go to work for fear of being implicated, and the docks were now basically paralyzed.
This isn't the most crucial point. With no management personnel at the dock, the Japanese will naturally find replacements. Even without workers, they will eventually go back to work if they can't bear the lack of income after a few days.
What angered Fan Biao was that the Japanese not only issued an arrest warrant for him, but also decided to execute more than 70 stubborn members of the dock gang who had been arrested, with the execution scheduled for half a month later.
After reading the newspaper, Fan Biao was filled with deep self-reproach. This was clearly a retaliatory action by the Japanese. Since they couldn't catch him, they arrested his men, and even the innocent ordinary henchmen were not spared.
He couldn't just stand by and watch his men be killed by the Japanese, but he was currently immobilized. Even if his movements were unrestricted, he was outnumbered and outmatched, and simply didn't have the ability to rescue his captured brothers.
