Chapter 154 Japanese Chamber of Commerce
According to intelligence, the Ningbo Japanese Chamber of Commerce is well-organized and powerful. When it was unveiled, Ningbo’s political and business circles gathered, and many celebrities and reporters from Shanghai visited. The scene was very lively.

Zuo Zhong took out the news report on the supplementary page of the profile. The photos on it were a bit blurry, but it could still be seen that the ceremony was grand that day. The middle-aged man in the middle of the first row was the most eye-catching.

"Takigawa Bunta, 45 years old, from Osaka, was in business alone in the Republic of China, the owner of Shuntian Pharmacy, and was elected as the chairman of the Ningbo Japanese Chamber of Commerce last year."

While looking at the information, Zuo Zhong observed the person's appearance. He has a big nose, a civilized beard, and a pair of small eyes behind black-rimmed glasses. He looks very shrewd. In the photo, he is wearing a kimono and smiling Happy, standard businessman.

He took out a magnifying glass and carefully observed Bunta Takigawa's body. He is at most 1.4 meters tall and weighs about [-] kilograms. When standing, his feet are bowed outwards, and his hands are naturally drooping on his abdomen.

There should be no military background. Even in Japan, 1.4 meters is considered a third-class disability. At this time, the Japanese army has ample supply of soldiers and has high requirements for the quality of soldiers. It must be more than 1.4 meters five.

But what interested Zuo Zhong was that a dwarf like Takigawa Bunta, a mere owner of a small pharmacy, had the strength to be elected as the president of the chamber of commerce. In terms of financial resources, the Japanese businessmen in Ningbo were much richer than him. In terms of influence, He has only been in business in the Republic of China for a few years, so how much prestige can he have?

Zuo Zhong looked at it for a while, then put down the information of Bunta Takigawa. This person is probably a puppet on the bright side, or a firewall.

At this moment, a special agent knocked on the door and came in: "Section Chief, those Japanese ronin have been captured."

Zuo Zhong blocked the documents on the table and waved his hand: "Dispose of it according to the rules. By the way, put it in the yard of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce. Be quiet so as not to scare the common people. It's almost the Spring Festival."

The spy saluted and turned to leave. Zuo Zhong didn't need other people to preside over this kind of small work. Any spy in the intelligence department could do it well. He wanted to see how the Japanese Chamber of Commerce would react to this.

If it is a purely commercial organization, with the arrogance of a small Japan, there will definitely be a storm in the city. If it has another purpose, it should keep silent, and then investigate who killed those ronin.

This can be regarded as throwing "stones" to ask for directions. Although those stones are a bit bloody, the Japanese probably don't care about them. It is better than stones with noise.

With a smile on his face, he continued to look down at the documents on the table. The light from the desk lamp shone through the window into the garden. Zuo Xuechen and Zuo Shanwen sighed in unison when they saw this scene.

"Father, do you want to use your contacts to transfer Zuo Zhong away from the secret service? It's too hard for him."

"Forget it, I asked a few old friends, he did a good job in Jinling, his teacher Dai Chunfeng is not a fuel-efficient lamp, don't make extra troubles, but it seems that the situation is really not right."

"Is it news from Jinling?"

"There is also news in Japan. It can be described as militarism. The Japanese economy is about to fail. I think Japan's economy will go bankrupt in at most three years, unless"

Zuo Shanwen looked at his father with a sad face, hesitated for a moment, and suggested in a low voice: "Or just follow Zuo Zhong's advice and sell the family property. I'm afraid it won't be worth the price, which is a pity."

Zuo Xuechen walked two steps with his hands behind his back, then turned around and said, "Sell! The mines, shops, fields, forests, and docks are all sold, not only our family, but your father-in-law's place is also sold.

And your younger brothers and sisters, a few friends should also move together, say that I made the decision, they should listen to me, and when the time comes, we will go overseas together, and there will be a lot of people to take care of us.

As long as we have people, guns, and money, we won’t lose money wherever we go. What Zuo Zhong said about New Zealand is good, but if we are alone overseas and want to rush, no one will be eyeing it. "

Since there is a possibility of a full-scale war, it is better to believe it than to believe it. The Zuo family has been able to rule Ningbo for so many years because they are one step ahead.

After Zuo Xuechen finished speaking, he thought of something else, and stroked his beard: "The buyer will go to the Japanese. We can't let the blood and sweat of the folks go to waste. Anyway, they have long been coveting our property."

Zuo Shanwen looked embarrassed: "Okay, Dad, I will contact the people from the Japanese Chamber of Commerce, but what excuses should I use? These Japanese people are better than monkeys when they stick their hair on them. It's hard to fool them now."

Zuo Xuechen pointed at his son and cursed angrily: "You, you, what you are after is not business, you let the wind out tomorrow and say that my Zuo family wants to build a wharf and a steel factory in Ningbo.

These Japanese people will definitely rush to buy our property at a high price, because they still expect to wait for the steel plant and wharf to be built and let the little Japanese army take over. Isn't that all right?

Send a few reliable people to Europe and the United States to investigate the steel industry. Don't be afraid to spend money. You must act out the scene as it is in real life, and buy the land by the sea in Beilun.

The soil and foundation there are very suitable for building a port. Little Japan has already sent people to survey and map. This time, our Zuo family is going to recruit shareholders to jointly develop it, and we are only looking for those traitors and Japanese businessmen. "

Zuo Shanwen didn't expect that his father, Zuo Xuechen, had such great ambitions that he wanted to grab the Japanese's wool. Thinking about the reaction of the Japanese after being cheated, this modest gentleman who studied in Japan smiled, so let's do it, who cares? There is a lot of money.

"By the way, don't let Zuo Zhong know about this matter. After all, he is a member of the Gongmen, so as not to make it difficult for him." Zuo Xuechen made a final decision and decided on a major matter.

Zuo Zhong didn't know his father's grandfather's plan, and patiently collected information every day, learned about every aspect of Ningbo, and observed the movement of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce.

After a few bloody stones were thrown in the yard, the other party didn't react at all, and even the other ronin didn't keep a low profile, they still ran rampant on the street, as if nothing happened.

But the spies discovered that some Japanese businessmen were extremely active, and kept inquiring about the whereabouts of these ronin, and even found out about He Yijun driving them away. Zuo Zhong found Wu Chunyang after learning about it.

These days, Wu Chunyang hangs around at Zuo's Inland River Wharf, listening to various news as a porter. He performed very well in the radio case, this time he is resuming his old job and is very proficient.

When he arrived at Zuo Zhong's place, Wu Chunyang took off his coarse cloth waistcoat, took the hot tea on the table and drank it in one gulp, then sat down on the stool and rested for a long time, and finally recovered.

"Section Chief, your dock business is really good, but I'm exhausted."

Zuo Zhong poured him another glass of water: "Don't talk about this, I asked you to come because of a mission."

Wu Chunyang was shocked: "Section Chief, tell me, did you find any clues?"

Zuo Zhong took out the information of the Japanese chamber of commerce and handed it to him: "The Japanese chamber of commerce in Ningbo, I sent someone to throw stones to ask for directions, and the other party is now sending people around to search for the whereabouts of those stones before they died.

You immediately withdrew from the pier and brought someone in charge of the chamber of commerce's surveillance and investigation. I suspect that the president, Takigawa Bunta, is just a shield. You must not be impatient to find out the relationship behind him. "

Wu Chunyang got up and put the waistcoat on his shoulders: "Yes, I'll go back and arrange it now. Sudden withdrawal from the pier will arouse suspicion."

Knowing that he is cautious, Zuo Zhong didn't say any more: "Okay, in case of emergency, call my study, but don't talk about the specific case on the phone, this is not our territory."

Wu Chunyang left, and Zuo Zhong drew a circle on the map. Now the intelligence department has three intelligence battlefields, one in Putuo Mountain, one in NB City, and one in the Japanese Chamber of Commerce. In one battle, Japan's intelligence network around Ningbo was completely destroyed.

He is like a spider, slowly extending its web to every corner of Ningbo, and any disturbance will eventually reach him.

If Party officials, Japanese businessmen, local celebrities, what these people eat and do every day, Zuo Zhong can remember more clearly than they himself. Another side of Ningbo is displayed in front of his eyes, which gives him a sense of control over everything. Feel.

However, when Zuo Zhong received the news that his family sold assets to build steel factories and docks, he was really taken aback. Now doing business is purely meat buns beating dogs, which will only benefit the Japanese. Why is his grandfather so unwise? He wants to go Ask about the situation.

After thinking about it again and again, Zuo Zhong decided to observe again, because he always felt that the behavior of his father and grandfather these days was a bit weird. Come on, the two elders must have some special plans.

And as the representatives of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce visited many times, and the gentry who were friendly to Japan came to the door frequently, Zuo Zhong finally realized something, but he was not sure.

There are many such tricks in later generations. It is nothing more than making up a good story, telling a little emotion, fooling a bunch of fools into taking the bait, and finally cutting the leeks with a knife.

But would grandfather and father dare to play so big?Ningbo businessmen are based on honesty. Once this matter is exposed, the business reputation accumulated by the Zuo family over the past century will be over, and they will have to leave if they don't leave.

But when all kinds of information gathered together, the context gradually became clear, and Zuo Zhong was sure that his grandfather Zuo Xuechen and father Zuo Shanwen were setting up a big trap, and the prey were those Japanese businessmen and traitors.

As for whether to stop it?Zuo Zhong felt that his family was helping others. After all, the Japanese would be taught a lesson sooner or later. If the United States learned it, the Zuo family would also learn it.

Zuo Zhong told the spies not to take advantage of the Zuo family's affairs, and to take advantage of the chaos to investigate the old background of the Japanese in Ningbo. They wanted to acquire the assets of the Zuo family, not for these little people to decide.

Finally, when all the streets and alleys of Ningbo were discussing the strange things about Zuo's family, a massive prospectus meeting was held in Zuofu, and wealthy businessmen and gentry from all over the place who attended the meeting lined up hundreds of meters.

Zuo Zhong was in a hut looking out, standing beside Wu Chunyang and several spies, one of the spies was holding a camera and taking pictures of the many guests who came in through the gap.

"The Shanghai manager of Japan Specikin Bank has arrived."

"The general manager of Daiwa Trading Co., Ltd. is here."

"The director of the Ningbo Chamber of Commerce has arrived."

Zuo Zhong looked at the well-dressed guests, and whispered: "After the photos are clear, create files for these people immediately to see which of them has the closest relationship with the Japanese Chamber of Commerce, and conduct a cross-comparison."

　Some readers were very unhappy about the protagonist's family carrying buckets and running away. This is just a plot requirement. The author himself firmly supports the party's leadership and expresses his strong contempt for the decadent capitalist life! ! ! !Please spare the life of the author, don’t take the novel seriously
