Mo Huixin sat at her desk, surrounded by piles of ledgers and lists.
These are lists of items confiscated during the crackdown.
Gold, silver, foreign currency, cultural relics and antiques, real estate deeds, bonds, company shares...
Each one is priceless.
Mo Huixin carefully checked each account, her brows gradually furrowing.
"That's not right," Mo Huixin said, her voice filled with doubt.
She checked it again.
"It's still not right," Mo Hui thought, her brows furrowing even more.
She picked up the abacus and started calculating rapidly.
The abacus beads danced, their crisp sound echoing in the study.
Mo Huixin's fingers danced rapidly across the abacus, each movement carrying a unique rhythm.
Finally, Mo Huixin stopped calculating.
She was stunned.
"Fifty million pounds?" Mo Huixin exclaimed, her voice filled with disbelief. "How is that possible?"
She recalculated it.
Still fifty million pounds.
Mo Huixin took a deep breath and stood up.
She was going to report this astonishing number to Chen Zijun.
Fifty million pounds.
This is no small sum.
Even for Chen Jiajun, such funds represent a huge sum of money.
Mo Huixin tidied up the account books and walked towards Chen Zijun's office.
Chen Zijun was processing documents in his office.
"Huixin," Chen Zijun said, looking up to see Mo Huixin enter. "How is she?"
Mo Huixin walked up to Chen Zijun and placed the account book on the table.
"Young Marshal," Mo Huixin said, "I have already calculated all the confiscated property from the crackdown."
Chen Zijun nodded, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
"Very good," Chen Zijun said. "What's the total value?"
Mo Huixin took a deep breath and said, "Young Marshal, you may not believe it, but the total value exceeds fifty million pounds."
Chen Zijun was stunned for a moment, and the pen in his hand stopped in mid-air.
"Fifty million pounds?" Chen Zijun said, a hint of surprise in his voice.
"Yes," Mo Huixin said. "Gold, silver, foreign currency, cultural relics and antiques, property deeds, company shares—all added together, the total value exceeds fifty million pounds. And this is only a preliminary estimate; there may be omissions."
A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Zijun's eyes.
"Fifty million pounds?" Chen Zijun said. "That's right. This money is all the blood and sweat they squeezed from the Chinese people. Now, it's time to return it to the Chinese people. We can use it to improve people's livelihoods, build infrastructure, develop education, and improve healthcare."
Mo Huixin said, "Young Master, I also discovered something while I was doing the calculations."
Chen Zijun asked, "What's going on?"
Mo Huixin said, "The Sassoon & Co. suffered heavy losses in this crackdown. Many of their smuggling channels were cut off, and a large amount of their goods were seized. Moreover, I also discovered that the Sassoon & Co. colluded with criminal gangs in the underworld, using these gangs to carry out smuggling activities. They used these criminal gangs to establish a huge smuggling network in the five southeastern provinces."
A cold glint flashed in Chen Zijun's eyes.
"Sassoon & Co.?" Chen Zijun said. "They're colluding with criminal gangs?"
"Yes," Mo Huixin said. "Sassoon & Co. has ostensibly switched to legitimate business, but in reality, they have long been involved in underground smuggling networks, just rebranding their original opium trafficking network. Moreover, they collude with many criminal gangs, using these gangs to carry out smuggling activities."
Chen Zijun sneered: "Every pore of a Jew's body is dripping with the sinful blood of capitalism; that's absolutely true!"
Mo Huixin said, "Young master, Sassoon & Co. has suffered losses. Given their racial nature, they may plot revenge."
Chen Zijun said, "Let them come. I'll wait for them."
Mo Huixin said, "The Sassoon Company might collude with other forces and unite against you."
Chen Zijun said, "No matter who they collude with, I'm not afraid. They can't cause any trouble on my turf."
Mo Huixin nodded.
"Understood," Mo Huixin said.
Chen Zijun said, "We've been keeping an eye on Sassoon & Co. all along, haven't we? Don't worry, a bunch of capitalists, can they escape my grasp?"
Mo Huixin said, "Yes, young master."
Chen Zijun asked, "Also, what are your plans for these fifty million pounds?"
Mo Huixin said, "Young Marshal, as you said, we will use this money to improve people's livelihoods. I plan to build infrastructure, develop education, and improve healthcare. This will raise the living standards of our people and strengthen our foundation of rule."
Mo Huixin paused for a moment, then continued, "Specifically, I suggest using 30 million pounds for infrastructure development, including road construction, bridge building, and improvements to water and electricity facilities. 10 million pounds should be used to develop education, build schools, and cultivate talent. Another 10 million pounds should be used to improve healthcare, build hospitals, and purchase medical equipment."
Chen Zijun nodded, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
"Very good," Chen Zijun said. "Let's proceed according to your plan. This money should be used wisely. We need to ensure that the people of our country truly feel the changes."
Mo Huixin said, "I understand. I will make detailed plans to ensure that every penny is used effectively."
Chen Zijun said, "Also, we need to keep this a secret. We can't let outsiders know that we have so much money."
Mo Huixin said, "Understood. I will keep it a secret."
Mo Huixin turned and left, her footsteps light and strong.
Chen Zijun looked at the document again.
Fifty million pounds.
This is a huge sum of money.
If used properly, it can change many things.
If used improperly, it can also cause a lot of trouble.
But he believed in Mo Huixin.
Mo Huixin will definitely make good use of this money.
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door.
Mo Huixin came in again.
"Young Marshal," Mo Hui thought to herself, a hint of solemnity on her face.
Chen Zijun raised his head.
"What's wrong?" Chen Zijun asked.
Mo Huixin said, "Young Marshal, while dealing with the wealth confiscated after the crackdown, I discovered a secret."
Chen Zijun said, "A secret? What secret?"
Mo Huixin said, "It seems that Sassoon & Co. is secretly funding the Chang family."
A cold glint flashed in Chen Zijun's eyes.
"Sassoon & Co.?" Chen Zijun said. "Chiang Kai-shek, the bald-headed Chiang Kai-shek?"
"Yes," Mo Huixin said. "When I was reviewing the accounts of Sassoon & Co., I discovered some suspicious fund flows. These funds flowed into the accounts of Chiang Kai-shek's secret agents. Moreover, I also discovered that Sassoon & Co. had secret connections with Chiang Kai-shek. Through Chiang Kai-shek's intelligence network, they were secretly funding Chiang Kai-shek personally, not the Southern National Revolutionary Government."
Chen Zijun sneered: "Sassoon & Co.? The Chang Group? Looks like they're trying to team up against me. It's alright, it's not the first time, and I'm starting to miss them..."
Mo Huixin said, "Young Marshal, what do you plan to do? Chiang Kai-shek has targeted you time and time again, and you only gave him one warning. Isn't that a bit too weak...?"
Chen Zijun said, "Hehe, do you know that if I really killed Chang Guangtou, the current National Revolutionary Government would definitely fall into internal strife and power struggles? In that case, I would be ashamed before the late Premier Sun Yat-sen, that's the first point!"
"Furthermore, regarding dealing with Chiang Kai-shek, we have intelligence agents who can obtain information, and everything is under control. But if we replace him, all our intelligence sources will undergo a period of change. At that time, we may not be able to infiltrate the National Revolutionary Government to the extent we have today. Therefore, keeping him alive is advantageous to us!"
Mo Huixin nodded.
"I understand," Mo Huixin said, turning to leave.
Chen Zijun sat in the chair and closed his eyes.
Sassoon & Co.
Commonly related.
The fact that these two forces are colluding together is indeed a problem.
But he wasn't afraid.
Because he has the ability.
With strength, one fears no enemy.
As long as he is alive, he will not allow anyone to harm the Chinese people.
This was his promise.
It is also his responsibility.
