Chapter 677: Countermeasures to Solve Coal Shortage

The reason why Japan launched the criminal war to invade China was to make China a colony and to plunder China's rich resources.

In this process, the Japanese government has also established several notorious "national policy" enterprises, funded by the government and Japanese chaebols, and supervised and managed by the Liaison Department of the Koya Institute.

The pseudo-Manchurian state-owned South Manchuria Railway Co., Ltd., referred to as Manchurian Railway, has Central China Development Co., Ltd. in Central China, and North China Development Co., Ltd. in North China, which is equivalent to the economic material control agency of the Japanese government, military and chaebols.

The main plundering business of North China Development Company is coal and affiliated electricity, salt industry and derivatives, cotton and textile industry, and then metal minerals and grain. In the 31st of the Republic of China, 25 million tons of coal were mined. More than 8 million tons were shipped to Japan as military and civilian fuel.

"These chaebols didn't have any violent reactions to the sudden mobilization of so many coal resources? The price we gave was flat, equivalent to the price shipped to China, but they didn't make much money." Ota asked.

"I issue instructions in the name of performing secret tasks in the cabinet. There is no need to explain to them, nor do they have the guts to obstruct it. This is often the case. Once our attitude becomes tough, the businessmen will obey, nothing more than a group of greedy life and fear of death. Worms!"

"I have already greeted the Kailuan Coal Mine in Phoenix. The priority is to send 50,000 tons of crushed coal to Jincheng Port, which can be completed in one week. Given that the transportation needs to take care of the needs of the empire, it takes about half a month. Can be shipped to the port."

"We are going through internal settlement. The procedures are relatively simple. Just wait for you and Chen Jun to sign, and you can ship and ship, but I can't help with the ship." Yanze Qingxuan said.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured. In terms of transportation, I can guarantee that as long as the procedures are completed at the North China Liaison Department, I will set off for the Shanghai fleet and can transport all 50,000 tons of coal in one go." Chen Mingxiang said hurriedly.

"Jun Yanze, with the help of the imperial navy, Chen Jun has formed a fleet that can transport about 100,000 tons of cargo at a time. At the moment, he is recruiting captains, first mates, and sailors. It will take a week. Time." Ota Taiji said.

Opportunities are put first, and you have to have the ability to seize it. This is the reason Ota Taiji is willing to contribute. Chen Mingxiang has such an ability to do what he says. If you try to change yourself, if you want to form such a large fleet, then It is not an easy task. Ships may be requisitioned by the Japanese army, or they may be forcibly "leased" by Japanese companies.

"Chen Jun really has a huge energy in the Shanghai market. This shortcoming is made up for, and it is easy to make this thing. I admire! In fact, the briquettes used in daily life have no technical content at all, and they mainly rely on coal. When this batch of goods arrive in Shanghai In the city, those businessmen might be dumbfounded!"

"But I suggest that the briquettes are made directly in Jincheng, and then shipped to the Shanghai stock market. This will have a better effect. The other party is not alert at all and will definitely be caught off guard."

"Most of Jincheng uses hand-made briquettes. The most primitive way is to shake briquettes! But there are special machines in Shanghai. Chen Jun can transport some of them to Jincheng and set up a briquettes factory. I'll say hello to you. In terms of electricity bills There are some preferential treatments, even if the profit is a little bit thin, the obstacles that Shanghai coal companies have to you will be reduced a lot." Yanze Qingxuan said with a smile.

This Japanese major general's idea is absolutely bad, but Chen Mingxiang thinks it is very practical, it is simply great!

Briquettes do not have technical content. The Shanghai stock market used to use hand-cranked briquettes in the past. Later, after the improvement and creation of Mr. Liu, the coal king, machine-made briquettes have long been available, but most of them in Jincheng still use hand-cranked briquettes. the way.

"Thank you for your suggestion. I will then generate electricity for the company and ask them to seize the time to purchase briquettes and send a ship to the Shanghai Stock Exchange. After I have visited the military police headquarters in North China, I will be at the port of Jincheng. Find a suitable place nearby to build a briquettes factory." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

One ton of briquettes is 20 pallets, and the price is 25 yuan per ton, which is 500 yuan. The minimum profit can be 150 yuan per ton, and the municipal government subsidizes 200 yuan. A ton of three hundred and fifty yuan, monthly sales of 10,000 tons, that is 3.5 million yuan, equal to 175,000 US dollars.

Chen Mingxiang’s coal company in the Shanghai stock market must not be able to eat alone and must release part of the profits, but anyway, at least one hundred and twenty thousand dollars in income per month.

To ensure the stability of this income, Shiozawa Kiyoshino was the key figure. Therefore, when General Ota Yasuji left the house to go to the toilet with an excuse, he put a large leather suitcase in front of Shiozawa Kiyoshino.

"Your Excellency, you have worked so hard for my coal business, and I feel sorry for it. This activity cost is just a little reward for me, please be sure to accept it." Chen Mingxiang bowed and said.

This big suitcase contains 200,000 US dollars in cash. This price is enough to match Yanze Qingxuan’s identity and his value. Even a major general in the Japanese army, few can resist the temptation of 200,000 US dollars. Coal quota There is no risk in this kind of thing, not to mention that it has been approved by the Xingya Institute and the cabinet, so you can take it with confidence.

"Thank you Chen Jun's gift, I will accept it. If you have anything to do in North China in the future, please speak to me, as long as it is within my ability, I promise that there is no problem." Yanze Qingxuan said with a smile.

Chen Mingxiang's time and number of visits to North China are limited, and there is still a big deal in the Shanghai stock market. Therefore, he decided to take the most direct and effective method to stun key people with US dollars.

Although the expenses seem to be staggering now, after two months of operation, I can recover the cost and make a slight surplus, and I will earn more in the future.

"I am very unfamiliar with the situation in North China, and I have to get advice from the general from time to time. For this reason, I hired you as a consultant for the Beiping branch. Only you and I know that I will let the manager of the Beiping branch every month. I'll give you twenty thousand dollars as a monthly salary as a consultant."

"Beijing branch does not have much business, that is coal, cotton, salt and grain, which are completely within your scope of work. At the end of the year, I will calculate the company’s profits and give you a dividend. Less than $200,000."

"You also know that the reason why I purchase these materials is not just for my own profit. The cotton is mainly supplied to my textile factory. The cotton yarn and cotton cloth produced are used to exchange strategic materials with the Chiang Thong district. In addition to giving salt to Shanghai Part of the city's supply, the rest will also be used as exchange materials." Chen Mingxiang said.
