The New Year's Day in the 30th year of the Republic of China is approaching. According to the usual practice, the Wang Puppet and the Japanese army will hold a New Year reception to celebrate the New Year's Day.

Chen Mingxiang looked at a lot of invitations in the office, and felt a little headache and paralyzed. It would be inappropriate for him to not show his face. The establishment of a network of relationships requires this kind of occasion as a platform.

On the evening of New Year's Day, there was a cocktail party at the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai and the Xingyayuan, and a cocktail party for the pseudo-Shanghai Special Municipal Government. This is an official reception for the government.

The next night, there was a reception for the 13th Army Command of the Japanese Army and a reception for the Third Fleet of the Japanese Navy, which belonged to the military’s internal reception.

The two bite too hard, the Army will definitely not go to the Navy’s cocktail party, and the Navy will naturally not participate in the Army’s cocktail party. They have to be held on the same day, and they have a strong mind.

In addition, there was a cocktail reception for the plum organs, a reception for the secret service of the Japanese Army Ministry in Shanghai, a reception for the Military Police Command and a reception for the Marine Corps Command in Shanghai, and so on.

These units are unique, so there are few guests who can participate, but those invited are more important roles.

After all, we all know that there is a lot of entertainment on New Year's Day, and everyone is incapable of doing things, so these wine parties are very tacitly staggered, but it is inevitable to catch two games in one night.

"I don't know how many people are racking their brains in the Shanghai stock market, and they want to get these invitations even after pulling the relationship through the back door. You are still worried here, don't bring such irritating people." Liu Nina said with a smile.

She thought that Chen Mingxiang's frowning face was just pretending, and she might have already been happy in her heart. The ability to receive so many invitations is all the heavyweights in the Shanghai stock market. This is enough to prove Chen Mingxiang's strength and status.

"What do you know, others are eating, drinking, and having fun at the cocktail party, but when I attend the cocktail party, except for the municipal government and the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, the rest of the cocktail party must pay a price."

"You also know that whether it is the Ume Department, the Special Service Department of the Japanese Army Ministry in Shanghai, the Military Police Headquarters, and the Special High School, they are all very special in nature. I don't bring some gifts to participate empty-handed. Do you think it is appropriate?"

"As the leader of the Huatong Trading Company and the inspection team, the big fat shortage is recognized in the eyes of others, and it is simply a position for the Jindoujin. There are too many people who are jealous of me, including Japanese."

"The more this is the case, the more cautious I must be in doing things. Every decision has to be considered carefully. It doesn't matter if you make a fortune. Don't even take your own life in." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile, stretched out his hand and scratched. Shave her nose.

Liu Nina's pretty face blushed and she gave Chen Mingxiang a white look. This is indeed because she thought too simple and her vision was not wide enough. Although Chen Mingxiang was younger than her, she thought more profoundly. No wonder she has today's achievements and reputation. There is no avatar below.

"Gifts are to be given in so many places, that is a lot of money, not tens of thousands of dollars is afraid it is not very decent." Liu Nina said.

Chen Mingxiang smiled and did not speak, tens of thousands?You think this is a beggar, don't even think about passing it without more than 100,000 legal currency!

But in order to keep the platform for collecting intelligence, even hundreds of thousands are worth it. At most, the one-month dividend of Huatong Trading Co., Ltd. will fall into the water. Where is the return without paying?

"Boss Zhang, you prepare a batch of cigarettes for me, and work overtime to produce them. Twenty boxes are 50,000 packs. The boxes are marked with the army special label, and ten boxes are 25,000 packs. The boxes are marked with the Navy special. Provide labels, and prepare ten boxes of special internal cigarettes. Can it be completed in a few days?" Chen Mingxiang said.

"The cigarette factory can be completed in two days, but the cigarette box is not so fast. I can definitely complete this number in a total of four days. Are you giving gifts to the Japanese again?" Zhang Wenyan said.

Since cooperating with Chen Mingxiang to produce cigarettes, the raw materials, funds and sales channels of the tobacco factory have all been solved. A large number of Bund brand cigarettes have been smuggled into the National Controlled Area, and they can be sold as much as they are.

With the increase in production, Zhang Wenyan's monthly income also increased sharply, but he still resisted making cigarettes for the Japanese.

"Don't mention it, I'm very hot when I talk about this. Isn't it just after New Year's Day? I want to reach out to my bowl for meat to eat. I can't afford any of them. I have to keep this bowl of rice? "

"Fortunately, I have a cigarette factory, otherwise I have to pay a lot of money. Just now I sent people to Hangzhou and Anhui to buy tea, including the packaging. This time I have to lose more than 200,000 yuan. I feel distressed. I didn't sleep well last night!" Chen Mingxiang said angrily.

Speaking of the cigarettes produced by my own cigarette factory, a pack of cigarettes costs only 25 cents, and 100,000 packs only cost 25,000 yuan, but the selling price is 80 cents, which equals 80,000 yuan.

Chen Mingxiang bought a ton of tea, which is equivalent to 20 dans, including 10 dans in Lu'an and Qimen in Anhui Province, and 10 dans in Hangzhou Longjing tea. When they are shipped to Shanghai, they will be made into two thousand boxes of gifts per jin. Production has started, and the special label is still used.

Because of the war, the output of tea has plummeted and the market is also low. For example, Longjing tea costs only 400 yuan per 100 catties, and four yuan per catty. This is a premium tea!

Japan's silk industry is very developed, but speaking of it, China is their ancestor!

Chen Mingxiang asked Zhou Haiwen to go to Hangzhou in person. In addition to tea, he also had to buy a batch of silk with exquisite patterns and high-quality materials to present as gifts to senior Japanese military officers.

"Hangzhou is a traditional hometown of silk, but now there are very few supplies on the market. When the Japanese army invaded Hangzhou, they blew up a large number of silk weaving and reeling factories, and the cocoons and raw silk were looted. The leaf producing area was abandoned, and the output plummeted, which was 30% of the original."

"According to the local silk merchants, the situation in Suzhou is the same. I think it is an opportunity for you and our Huatong Trading Company. Others can't stand the control of the Jinling government and the Japanese. You have no problem. of."

"Both raw silk and finished products are sold well in foreign exports. Merchants in the Shanghai Concession, Anglo, America, France and other countries can collect as much as they can, and the profits are very substantial." Zhou Haiwen called and said.

In fact, Western countries like China's silk very much, but because of the war, the silk producing area has been fatally hit and there is no supply of goods.

Raw silk and silk fabrics are important commodities in Japan’s foreign trade and are also one of the sources of fiscal revenue. Therefore, after the Japanese occupation of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they looted raw silk crazily.

Coupled with the poison of war, the output of raw silk dropped sharply, and the newly established Wang puppet government began to collect excessive taxes and taxes. Last year, the total output of silk in East China was less than 3 million. difficult.

"What you said makes sense, so don’t go back to the Shanghai stock market. Spend a few days in Suzhou and Hangzhou to acquire two silk weaving factories and two reeling factories, but don’t use my name. It is a cooperative nature on the surface. , Recruit a group of experienced experts to help us operate."

"The key is to provide loans to local mulberry farmers, stabilize the people's hearts, and restore production first. If there is no cocoon, everything is for nothing."

"I bought silk this time. I originally wanted to make up the quantity and variety of gifts, but if you say that, you really want to catch it as a major event. Double the quantity I want and send it back to the Shanghai stock market as soon as possible." Chen Mingxiang said.
