Chapter 507: Chief, something big has happened!
What, what are you saying! One person's tone suddenly rose.
The others also looked at Chen Yongren in surprise.
"Idiot, shut up, keep it down, you wanna get me killed?" Chen Yongren feigned fear and glanced around.
"What does 'stop the disbursement' mean?"
"Hurry up and tell me what's going on."
"Right, don't keep us in suspense, what inside info do you have?"
"We're all Japanese, you can't deceive your own kind."
Several people all turned to look at Chen Yongren.
Upon hearing the government planned to stop issuing subsidies, they immediately panicked.
"Japanese don't cheat Japanese, right?"
"Anyway, I'm not Japanese myself, so what's the harm in deceiving you?"
"Actually, I heard this from others too, because the Black Dragon Society and Jinmen Freight Company teamed up to resell supplies, embezzling a lot of assets."
"This left the Jinmen government short of funds, so they plan to stop our subsidies."
"Exactly, you know..."
Chen Yongren said while looking around, nervously: "I didn't believe it originally, but this is the first time the disbursement has been delayed this long."
"Since this information leaked, it shows it's not baseless rumor."
"After all, if the higher-ups had money, why wouldn't they give us ours?"
"I saw yesterday, an official working at the Jinmen new government sneaked into Gang Xian Freight Company and came out with a dark face!"
"I also heard that the supplies they embezzled are currently stored in a Jinmen warehouse, waiting to be shipped to Japan for sale when spring opens."
"You must keep this matter secret, absolutely cannot leak it; I'm leaving now, it's so cold I need to figure out how to make some money."
"I heard Yoshino's loans are easy to get, I need to rustle up some extra cash as backup."
After finishing advertising his own company, Chen Yongren turned and left, leaving several people standing there dazed.
He darted into an empty alley, changed his disguise, then approached another crowd.
"Ma'am, have your subsidies been issued?"
"None?"
"A friend told me the Black Dragon Society gang embezzled our money, and the Japanese government plans to stop issuing our subsidies."
"Of course it's true, Japanese don't deceive Japanese."
Under Chen Yongren's manipulation, Yuan Gangxian's freight company joined forces with the Black Dragon Society to embezzle, and the matter of the Jinmen new government's funds kept fermenting and spreading.
The spread was faster than Chen Yongren imagined.
It's no wonder these Japanese "leeches" believe conspiracy theories.
After all, the subsidy really wasn't issued, so anyone would suspect something.
These idle Japanese expatriates,
on this side were busy taking out loans,
on the other side the factories were in full swing, materials ready, equipment debugged, now just waiting for workers to officially start work.
Lin Ke Xin also had the retail points almost set up; in Jinmen, nearly every street had an independent sales spot.
On the surface they looked like individual small shops, but on a map these stalls connected formed a spiderweb.
There's no better intelligence point than this.
During this period.
Yuan Gangxian called Chen Yongren many times, but Chen Yongren refused each, citing his Special Agency duties being busy.
The first batch of people who borrowed money from Chen Yongren, their contracts have also expired.
Chen Yongren put the contracts in his briefcase, deliberately sought out Chi Mu Chengping, intending to ask him to lend some manpower for debt collection.
"Uncle~" Chen Yongren, suppressing his disgust, entered Chi Mu Chengping's office.
Hearing the voice, the old devil looked up: "Chief, you've come, how's business? I heard a Mr. Yoshino has appeared in Jinmen, with very ample funds, having lent out a lot of money."
That old thing Chi Mu Chengping had heard of this, which is enough to show how booming Chen Yongren's lending business is.
"Thanks to Uncle's blessing, the company's doing great." Chen Yongren smiled, lowered his voice: "I'm worried this will bring shame to the family, so I deliberately used a fake identity, so even if investigated they couldn't find us."
"Whenever it comes to this, your mind works fast." Chi Mu Chengping laughed.
"Everything should be considered for the family's sake." Chen Yongren offhandedly blabbed, then said: "Uncle, seeing as the first batch's repayment date is approaching, I want to..."
Upon saying that, Chen Yongren wanted to continue but stopped, not going on.
But Chi Mu Chengping knew what Chen Yongren meant, smiling: "You're worried they won't repay you, so you want to borrow some people from me?"
"Chief just doesn't want Uncle's interests harmed; Father sent me to Jinmen, worried I'd be too conspicuous, so he didn't give me many people." Chen Yongren said immediately.
"After thinking it over, I can only turn to Uncle for help."
"After all, these bastards not repaying means the loss is also Uncle's interest."
"To force them to obediently go to work, we need to come up with some special methods."
"Actually we don't need many; ideally some from the police bureau, or..."
Chen Yongren deliberately paused, glanced lightly at Chi Mu Chengping, and smiled.
"Best if there were also military police in plain clothes to help you deal with them?" Chi Mu Chengping said coldly.
Chen Yongren grinned: "It's not because I distrust those underground rats in Jinmen and can't let them do it, so I can only rely on Uncle's help."
"Just go ahead, I'll arrange these things." Chi Mu Chengping said in a low voice.
"Hey!" Chen Yongren feigned surprise: "I knew Uncle loved me the most."
After two phone calls from Chi Mu Chengping, everything was arranged.
"By the way, Chief, there's something—have you heard about it?" Chi Mu Chengping looked at Chen Yongren.
Chen Yongren, through his insight, found out beforehand that this old bastard wanted to ask about the Black Dragon Society and Yuan Gangxian's freight company, but he still pretended not to understand.
"What is it, Uncle?"
"I've been busy setting up a company lately; has anything else happened out there?"
I'm the one who did this.
How could I not know?
Damn, I know all too well.
Of course, this definitely can't be said to that old bastard.
"It's about your older brother." Chi Mu Chengping's face showed a hint of impatience.
"Huh?" Chen Yongren shook his head, bewildered: "I don't know; his freight company is doing great, business is booming."
"It's just that Jinmen Port has been iced over lately; he wants to go out but can't."
"If only that were the case..." Chi Mu Chengping gritted his teeth and repeated the outside rumors.
Yuan Gangxian never won Chi Mu Chengping's favor; normally they just exchanged polite greetings.
As a result, this incident occurred; the little goodwill that remained vanished completely.
"That idiot, he went and did this, and now people are linking it together—it's all his fault!"
"Losing a bit of money is no big deal, but something like this happening out of nowhere will only bring shame to the family!" Chen Yongren said, filled with righteous indignation.
"This guy always boasts about his rich experience—how could he be so careless!"
