"Is there any mission for me?" When Kuno Rika heard this, she knew that Jiang Yifan had an important operation, and her body, which had been as limp as mud, immediately sat up.

"Wouldn't it be better for you to stay at home?" Jiang Yifan asked Kuno Rika.

"I'm almost suffocating now. I want to work with the housekeeper to do things for you." Rika Kuno replied anxiously.

"Okay! Let's wait for the housekeeper to come and then make specific plans!" Jiang Yifan said and then yawned and felt drowsy.

But Kuno Rika was so excited that she couldn't sleep and said:

"That's right! Listen to my advice, Shimahashi! You should have joined the family a long time ago. With the family as your backing in Shanghai, who dares to doubt you!"

As soon as Kuno Rika finished speaking, a picture emerged in Jiang Yifan's mind.

[A Japanese man in his fifties, tall, with a square face and white hair, who is obviously a senior servant who is loyal to his master and smart and capable! ]

But Jiang Yifan was so sleepy that after he memorized the image of the housekeeper, he fell asleep!

The next day, Kuno Rika made breakfast early, and after Jiang Yifan left for work, she went to the post office and sent a telegram to the head of the Shimahashi family, Shimahashi Kensuke, explaining the situation.

"Report to the Chief! We just intercepted a telegram from Kuno Rika to Shimahashi Kensuke, asking Shimahashi Butler to rush to Shanghai as soon as possible."

Satoshi Nakamura handed a telegram to Keiko Tanaka and reported.

"Very good! Our chance to identify Shimahashi Shinichi has come again. Three days later, you must go to Shimahashi Shinichi's house before Shimahashi Kensuke's butler does, claiming to be the Shimahashi family butler. See how Shimahashi Shinichi reacts. Can he recognize that you are not the butler?"

Keiko Tanaka looked at Satoshi Nakamura and said.

"Hayi!" Nakamura Satoshi responded and turned away.

Jiang Yifan arrived at the International Settlement. At the door of the Public Affairs Bureau's meeting room, everyone stood up at once, as if to welcome the return of the king!

Moreover, Jiang Yifan's seat was moved from the original left side to the left side of the seat of General Manager Evan. Just like the seat of the General Manager of the French Concession, he sat on the right side of General Manager Evan.

The other directors no longer sat on the left and right sides with the Japanese directors, but sat together and greeted them warmly.

This is not a board meeting at all; it is clearly treating the Japanese as guests of honor.

After everyone exchanged greetings, CEO Evan looked at Jiang Yifan and asked:

"can we start?"

Jiang Yifan was not polite and nodded in agreement: "Okay!"

So, General Manager Evan announced the start of the meeting: "Now, please invite Deputy General Manager Daoqiao to speak for us. Welcome everyone!"

After a round of warm applause, Jiang Yifan solemnly read out and explained the Shanghai Commercial Control Bureau's regulations on commercial circulation management for the entire Shanghai.

After hearing this, all the directors fell silent!

Later, General Manager Evan was the first to ask, "Isn't this the same as planned management? Where is the freedom and where is the competition?"

Pi Shaunai, the general manager of the French Concession, also said: "How can this be called openness? This is not free trade. This is a planned economy."

Damn it, free competition, planned economy, they know a lot!

But, you know what? My business model is also to maximize profits.

But the biggest beneficiary is me, not you!

"This is the biggest concession we have made after fully considering the interests of Britain, the United States and France!" Jiang Yifan made the final decision.

After hearing this, all the directors no longer dared to raise any opinions, fearing that the Japanese would be angered and the only circulation channel would be blocked. So they all agreed reluctantly.

After the meeting, Jiang Yifan found the room captain Adams again and transferred 100 gendarmes from the gendarmerie and arranged them in the International Settlement Police Station, with a total of five detectives.

At this point, the position of the Japanese in the International Settlement was consolidated and further strengthened.

Afterwards, Jiang Yifan called the action team to the office again and issued more stringent orders to Kudo Hajime and Kawauchi Yuta, requiring them to conduct strict inspections and crackdowns on the circulation of commodities in the entire Shanghai city in the next few days and to show no leniency.

"Director! Several of our customers are also in a hurry to get the goods." Tian Wenguang looked at Li Qun and said in Li Qun's office at Headquarters No. 76.

"No matter how urgent it is, it won't work! Shimahashi Shinichi won't say anything, and the inspections at each checkpoint are so strict, there's nothing I can do!" Li Qun said angrily in his heart.

"I don't know when we can be released?" Tian Wenguang asked helplessly.

"All of this is in the hands of Shinichi Shimahashi, and no one can say anything! Damn it! The villain is succeeding!" Li Qun cursed angrily.

"Are we just going to wait like this?" Tian Wenguang asked again unwillingly.

"Send someone to keep an eye on Shimahashi Shinichi and see who he associates with. As long as we can find evidence of him, we can find a way to knock him off the golden throne. Then, we might be able to sit on it."

Li Qun looked at Tian Wenguang and gave the order.

"Yes!" Tian Wenguang said and turned and left.

Richard came to Hengtong Trading Company and found William and said:

"Mr. William! The situation has changed now. You have to take care of my opium business for me!"

"Consul Richard, things are different now. I am still worried about how to sell my medicines."

William looked at Richard with an embarrassed expression and said.

"You have a relationship with Shimahashi Shinichi, so there will be no problem in the future!"

Richard answered casually.

When William heard this, he murmured in his heart, taking care of you is not just a matter of words, it requires real money.

Besides, Shimahashi doesn't like the opium business at all, so he may not help.

Then he replied: "Consul Richard, let's take it one step at a time. When the time comes and I have the ability, I will definitely not stand idly by!"

The most anxious and angry was the French Concession, because Shinichi Shimahashi of the International Concession was also the deputy general manager of the Public Ministry Bureau. Whenever possible, Shinichi Shimahashi would definitely consider the British and Americans in the International Concession first.

The French Concession has no advantages at all, and will certainly not get any advantage when the quotas are allocated.

Damn it, I didn’t expect the Japanese would play this trick!

It depends on the situation. I might have to go and give gifts to this young boy in person.

Otherwise, these merchants who pay taxes to the French Concession every day would rebel if they couldn't sell their goods!

For a time, all the checkpoints around Shanghai were extremely idle, and the merchants in Shanghai were extremely frustrated because they could not ship their goods out.

If we're not allowed to sell things, someone will die.

Three days later, Jiang Yifan had just got home from get off work when a middle-aged man who claimed to be the butler of the Japanese Shimahashi family, Nakasuga Jun, walked into Jiang Yifan's courtyard.
