In Zhuang Jihua's view, the basic function of customs is to collect taxes. Other management of national industry and commerce are only effective in sovereign states. China's sovereignty is now lost, and entry and exit management is null and there is no way to talk about protecting national industry and commerce.

Since you have never had it, you are not afraid of losing it.

When Zhuang Jihua saw Wang Jingwei and Liao Zhongkai staring at him, he felt that he was too presumptuous. He said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm out of my composure."

Wang Jingweijun's face was grim and was about to speak, but Liao Zhongkai said first: "Do you have a good idea? If you have one, say it quickly. If you don't, go out and receive the punishment."

Zhuang Jihua almost choked. When did Liao Zhongkai become funny, but Wang Jingwei became interested: "Tell me quickly, what's the idea."

Zhuang Jihua first sorted out his thoughts, and then cleared his throat: "Chairman Wang, Party representative, isn't the customs just a money-collecting agency? Since he stopped, we can just set up another one."

Wang Jingwei and Liao Zhongkai were eagerly hoping that Zhuang Jihua would come up with a good idea, but they didn't expect that this was the case, which was not only a big disappointment. If one could be established, it would be better to take back the customs office. Liao Zhongkai was on the sofa again at that time, and Wang Jingwei's handsome face was gloomy again.

"We set up one not to establish a customs," Zhuang Jihua said according to his own ideas regardless of how the expressions of the two men changed: "In view of the customs suspension, for the sake of..." When he said this, Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but stop. After thinking about it, he said bluntly: "Anyway, we can find a reason to prevent bad people from robbing or to facilitate foreigners to cure diseases; anyway, we set up a company. This company provides various services for foreign goods and services. As for service items, you can refer to the customs inspection items. Since the service is provided, you will naturally have to charge a fee. How much is this fee? Please refer to the customs tariffs. In this way, we did not take back the customs in name, but actually took back the customs. At least we received the money in our pockets. The great powers had nothing to say. Who told them to announce the suspension without authorization?"

Wang Jingwei and Liao Zhongkai were already hopeless and gradually attracted by his ideas. After Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, Wang Jingwei frowned and said, "I'm afraid this can't deceive the great powers."

"I didn't expect to deceive them," Zhuang Jihua smiled and said, "This is a paradox. We say that we are customs, but we have not fully fulfilled our duties as customs, nor is it a government act; we should say that we are not customs. But our charges are the same as customs, and without our consent, he can't get in. So there is a determination in the middle. The great powers must say that it is customs, but we can say that it is not customs. For example, we have not checked the passports of incoming personnel, and we have not used the customs workplace. This is just a commercial service. If they enjoy the service, of course they should pay. It is natural."

This way of collecting money is the twentieth century gangsters.

"Isn't this a stolen bell?" Wang Jingwei was a little stupid because he could do this.

"Ah, that's right." Zhuang Jihua told the truth. He was very honest.

Liao Zhongkai looked at Zhuang Jihua's appearance and couldn't help it: "Hahaha, Cultural Revolution, you! You..." As he said that, he pointed at Zhuang Jihua.

Wang Jingwei felt that it was too incredible. How could a major national event be so playful?

"But before this, we have to be a little hooligan." Although it is a hooligan, Zhuang Jihua is still serious in his face.

Liao Zhongkai finally stopped laughing. When he heard that Zhuang Jihua was going to be a hooligan, he couldn't help but want to laugh again. This was the office of the Chairman of the National Government.

"Wen...Ge, you are too straightforward, you need to be civilized." Liao Zhongkai said "reproached".

"Yes, the party representatives, the students know their mistakes. Let me change the statement. We had to mobilize the masses to protest against the customs' suspension without authorization. However, during the protest, there may be dangerous items such as bricks, tiles, daggers, etc. flying into their homes. Of course, it is a pity for the National Government to investigate the troublemakers. However, since the masses are not in control, it would be too regretful to cause personal injury. So it is best for them not to come to Guangdong in the near future. As for when it comes, it depends on when Chairman Wang and Minister Liao are not short of money, or if everyone has a result of the negotiations, they will come again."

After Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, Liao Zhongkai stopped laughing, but asked thoughtfully: "The Cultural Revolution, why is this method so gangster-like?"

"Did you see?" Zhuang Jihua smiled and said, "I learned from the local gangsters, and the American gangsters had used this trick. To deal with the gangsters, they had to use gangsters to talk about international law and principles. It is useless. Why can a foreigner control China's customs? Why can a foreigner announce the suspension of China's customs? What is the customs?" Zhuang Jihua was quite happy, but now he became more and more excited: "It is a symbol of a country's sovereignty, why should they control it? In our country, tramples on our land sovereignty and kill our people. The gangsters took the money and wanted to

I think they are worse than gangsters. Since they are gangsters, gangsters will show them at once!"

"What should I do if I attract interference from the great powers?" Wang Jingwei still didn't dare to make a decision, and he asked with a serious expression.

"Aren't we just sending a few warships? In fact, we can also divide the powers." Zhuang Jihua said again: "Southern Guangdong is the sphere of influence of the British, but the United States, Japan and other countries have long wanted to enter this area. However, the British are very strict in their defense, so they have no chance. Now that the nationwide anti-British economy is an opportunity for them. And they can also throw their bones to them."

"What bone?" Liao Zhongkai was excited. If he could differentiate the great powers and only Britain was left, then this strategy would be feasible. Of course, this was mainly because the Shaki incident gave him confidence.

"Guangjiu Railway and Guangdong-Hankou Railway." Zhuang Jihua steadily threw out his own idea: "Connecting these two railways is not only conducive to Guangdong's economic development, but also to military dispatch. We openly bid and explicitly said that we would refuse the bid of British companies. Who do you think of the people who come to the place? No matter who they are, the place they come to must be large consortiums. In foreign countries, these large consortiums have a great influence on the government. We ask them to exert influence on their country's government and ask them not to get involved with the British. With these two, I estimate that the service company is 80% sure that it can continue without attracting interference from the great powers."

Wang Jingwei suddenly picked up the phone on the table and said, "Check out Minister Hu of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

Zhuang Jihua was shocked and immediately said, "Don't."

Wang Jingwei asked in wonder: "What?"

"People around Minister Hu may leak the secret. If the British find out, the company will be gone." Zhuang Jihua said.

"Zhao Ming, the Cultural Revolution is right. Hu Zhantang really can't know that this matter is not his problem, but the people around him." Liao Zhongkai stood up and walked to Wang Jingwei's table.

"But I have to consult with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and I cannot make a decision rashly like this. And I will also prepare the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." Wang Jingwei defended.

Zhuang Jihua shook his head in his heart. No wonder Wang Jingwei could not beat Chiang Kai-shek, a white-faced scholar, and was indecisive in his work. Compared to Chiang Kai-shek once he found it beneficial, he immediately made a decisive decision. Old Wang, you should be your traitor.

"Come Chen Youren, he is proficient in diplomatic affairs." Liao Zhongkai suggested.

Wang Jingwei suddenly realized that Hu Hanmin was originally a comforting person to be the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Chen Youren was truly proficient in diplomatic affairs.

He picked up the phone again, thought about it and put it down again. After a while, he grabbed the phone: "Secretary Bai, come here."

Liao Zhongkai and Zhuang Jihua watched Wang Jingwei pick it up and put it down for no reason. They didn't know what he wanted to do. Now he called Bai Si in again, and the two of them were even more confused.

Bai Sitong came in quickly, and Wang Jingwei said to him: "You go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and ask Deputy Chief Chen to come to me immediately. If Minister Hu asks, you say I will decide to protest to the ministerial mission first and ask Chief Chen to come over to discuss."

After Bai Si left with him, Wang Jingwei was still worried. Zhuang Jihua was a little impatient. He tried his best to control himself. Liao Zhongkai found Zhuang Jihua's emotions and deliberately changed the topic and asked Zhuang Jihua to report on the reorganization first.

Zhuang Jihua then said everything he said yesterday to Chiang Kai-shek. Wang Jingwei was quite satisfied with it, but Liao Zhongkai had heard it yesterday. He immediately realized that Zhuang Jihua was perfunctory with Wang Jingwei, but he did not point it out immediately. He just stared at Zhuang Jihua. Zhuang Jihua pretended not to see it, which made Liao Zhongkai a little angry and decided to find an opportunity to talk to him later. He could not be so disrespectful to the Chairman of the National Government.

Wang Jingwei didn't know what to do about the next step of work. He said some clichés that Zhuang Jihua thought were empty in this life; but Zhuang Jihua covered up very well. When Zhuang Jihua spoke, he was always respectful and pious, and he always praised Wang Jingwei from time to time. Liao Zhongkai wondered, when Zhuang Jihua learned to act, he had to be careful in the future and not be deceived by him.

Chen Youren is nearly fifty years old and looks only in his forties. He has a very popular mustache in this era and is elegant in suit and ties.

After Zhuang Jihua explained his plan to Chen Youren again, Chen Youren was very surprised. He has been following Sun Yat-sen since 1918 and attended the Paris Peace Conference. He has never heard of it. In his opinion, the suspension of the check-up incident was a diplomatic incident and should be resolved through diplomatic channels. Zhuang Jihua's methods are undoubtedly playing rogues, and some of them can be called rogue means. Once exposed, it will inevitably lead to a sharp decline in the prestige of the National Government.

"No, this is a rogue, absolutely not. The government cannot reduce its identity to the level of a rogue." Chen Youren was excited and firmly opposed it.
