Jiangbei District, the Legation of the United States in Yinjiang.

Although the Yinjiang Development Bank has not yet been written, Commodus is already eager to draft the articles of association of the Yinjiang Development Bank, which will be established.

As he was writing, the secretary suddenly came in and reported that Zhong Yi was here.

As soon as he heard that Zhong Yi was coming, Commodus hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Your Excellency the Mayor." Commodus let Zhong Yi into the office, motioned for the secretary to pour coffee, and said with a smile, "To borrow a phrase from your Chinese, what kind of wind is blowing you here?" ”

"Northwest wind." Zhong Yi said in a gloomy tone, "Cold." ”

Commodus said: "Your Excellency, you seem to be a little unhappy? ”

Zhong Yixin said, can I fucking be happy? The eight characters of Yinjiang Industrial Park have not yet been skimmed, and the officials in the province are in a hurry to pick peaches.

Although Yu Liangzhen didn't say it explicitly on the phone, or Yu Liangzhen didn't know Huang Shaohong's intention to come to Yinjiang, Zhong Yi was like a mirror in his heart.

Huang Shaohong came to Yinjiang for only one purpose, and that is to seize power!

Even if you can't seize the dominance of Yinjiang Industrial Park, you must at least get a piece of the pie!

Anyway, in the future, the benefits of Yinjiang Industrial Park will be at least half shared in the province!

This is something that Zhong Yi can't tolerate no matter what, not because of stinginess.

Seriously, Zhong Yi really doesn't have self-centeredness, he really only pretends to be in the country and the nation, for the country and the nation, he can really give everything he has, including his life!

Therefore, Zhong Yi really doesn't mind giving some money to the province, because Huang Shaohong's personal character is quite passable, at least he won't take the money like Gu Shutong and swallow it privately.

So, why did Zhong Yi feel like a bone in the throat of Huang Shaohong's trip to Yinjiang?

The reason is actually very simple, the construction of Yinjiang has just begun, and it is the time when money is urgently needed.

If the province forcibly asks for it at this time, it will seriously delay the construction of Yinjiang!

And this is what Zhong Yi could not tolerate, because he knew the direction of history, and it was already early November 1938, and there were only three years left before the outbreak of the Pearl Harbor incident.

Three years later, Japan and the United States will go to war in an all-out way, the entire Far East will fall into the hands of Little Japan, and China's War of Resistance will also usher in the most difficult three years!

Therefore, Zhong Yi must build Yinjiang into a large-scale military base that can support China's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression within three years, before the Pearl Harbor incident!

This large military base will not only have a population of millions and complete sets of light industry, but also an arms industry, which will be able to continuously deliver all kinds of daily necessities to the rear, and can also continuously deliver medicines, weapons and ammunition and even replenishment to the front line!

To build such a military base, how much more than hundreds of millions of dollars will be invested?

Therefore, at this time, Zhong Yi will definitely not let Huang Shaohong take a penny from Yinjiang!

In short, every penny of Yinjiang must be used for the infrastructure construction and development of Yinjiang!

In addition, from Huang Shaohong's intention to meddle in the Yinjiang Industrial Park, Zhong Yi also thought of another more serious problem.

The question is, is it really good to have a controlling stake in the Yinjiang Development Bank in the name of the Yinjiang Municipal Government? What if Huang Shaohong is forced to be anxious and has to remove him as the mayor?

Even if he can withstand Huang Shaohong's pressure, what if Principal Chang wants a piece of the pie?

Therefore, it is necessary to take precautions for this rainy day, or it will be too late to regret it.

At that moment, Zhong Yi asked: "Mr. Minister, I want to find an American to be my personal secretary, I wonder if you have a suitable person to recommend to me?" ”

"You're looking for a secretary?" Commodus was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he pointed out again, "I don't know what kind of personal secretary His Excellency the Mayor wants to find?" A beautiful girl from the United States? ”

Commodus misunderstood Zhong Yi and said that he wanted to find an American lover.

"No, no, Mr. Minister, you misunderstood." Zhong Yi shook his hand and said, "What I'm looking for is not such a life secretary, but a working secretary who can take my place to deal with some affairs that I am not suitable for." ”

Zhong Yi said very long and awkwardly, but Commodus understood, nodded and said, "I understand, Your Excellency the Mayor, you want to find an agent, am I right?" ”

"Yes." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "It's the agent." ”

Commodus nodded, and said, "What are your specific requirements for this agent?" ”

"There are no specific requirements, as long as you have gone to college, oh yes, you have to be from the United States." Zhong Yi said.

For the agent he is looking for, except for having gone to college and being a native of the United States, Zhong Yi really doesn't have any special requirements, because this is just an agent.

To put it bluntly, Zhong Yi just wanted to bluff people with this agent.

It is definitely not good to bluff Commodude, but it is enough to scare Huang Shaohong and even Principal Chang.

Because in the eyes of Huang Shaohong and Principal Chang, the people of the United States, especially the people of the United States who have rich family resources, are uncles and are sacrosanct.

As for whether the agent will get rid of control, it depends on Zhong Yi's system design and control, as long as the system design between Zhong Yi and the agent is reasonable and has strong control, the agent will not be able to escape from his palm.

Commodus pondered for a moment, then said, "If so, I have a good candidate. ”

"Really?" Zhong Yi said happily, "Mr. Minister, tell me quickly, what kind of person is this?" ”

"Okay." Commodus nodded, and continued, "This man's name is Steve, and like me, he is also from Arkansas, and graduated from the University of Arkansas with a degree in law. ”

"University of Arkansas?" Zhong Yi spread his hands and said, "It's not a famous university." ”

"Yes, a last-class university." Commodus shrugged and said, "Moreover, Your Excellency the Mayor, you should know very well that even if you graduate from eight Ivy League schools, it is still difficult to achieve success if you don't have enough political resources, especially since Steve is still studying law, which is the most competitive of all majors, so ......"

Zhong Yi said: "So Mr. Steve came to our China. ”

"Yes." "He wants me to give him a job at the Legation, but unfortunately, the Legation doesn't really have a job for him." ”

Zhong Yi said: "How is this person's morality? ”

Zhong Yi actually has no requirements for the character of the agent.

But if you can find someone with integrity, why not?
