Jincheng is not only a special city for the Shancheng government, but also a special city for the Wang puppet government, and also a special city for the North China puppet government. Although its status is not as good as that of the Shanghai stock market, it is also very important.

From the Qing government in 1860, Britain first established concessions in Tianjin, and then France, Germany, Japan, the United States, Italy and other countries established concessions, but American concessions, German concessions, Russian concessions, Austrian concessions, and Belgian concessions , Have been withdrawn for various reasons.

The British Concession and the French Concession are the most prosperous places in Tianjin, especially the earliest-developed British Concession. There are two commercial districts, Xiaobailou and Huangjia Garden, and there are hundreds of foreign firms. Of course, it cannot be compared with the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Concession for comparison.

After the outbreak of the Pacific War, the British Concession had been occupied by the Japanese, and assets such as factories, companies, and foreign firms had been confiscated. Japanese merchants are now occupying and operating, but the French Concession and the Italian Concession still remain.

The office of the Japanese military police stationed in Tianjin is near the Haiguang Temple in the Japanese Concession. Chen Mingxiang and Yuri Taro were in the car of the Peking military police. They took more than four hours to arrive under the protection of two trucks full of military police. Gendarmerie station.

This is a barracks. It was originally the seat of the headquarters of the Japanese North China Garrison. It was later relocated to Beiping, where it became the resident of the 27th Division of the Japanese Army. The division leader was Lieutenant General Harada.

"You Lijun, when passing by the British and French concessions, I seem to have the feeling of returning to the Shanghai stock market, but a careful taste will be far worse. If you have time, you can go to the Shanghai city area. The French Concession is a bit shabby. Go and see the French Concession in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. That's the real prosperity." Chen Mingxiang said when he got off the bus.

"I've been to the Shanghai Stock Exchange several times, but I didn't find a chance to go around. Since Chen Jun said so, I must go to the French Concession to see it. The largest international city in the Far East, a shining jewel, Jincheng cannot Than!" Yuri Taro said with a smile.

Major General Yano Otosaburo Gendarmerie currently supervises the work of the gendarmerie in Tsucheng. What is the main task? The first is to transport ore, grain, cotton, salt and coal from North China to Japan, and the second is to force labor to Japan, Southeast Asia, and the puppet. Manchukuo was doing coolies and robbed local copper and iron as military supplies.

"Your Excellency is waiting for the two in the reception room, Chen Jun, this is the military police captain Murano Naohiro from Tsucheng!" A military police officer said from the office building.

"Murano-kun, it's a great honor to meet you. In the future, I will need your and the gendarmerie's help for my commercial activities in Tianjin." Chen Mingxiang bowed and said, people also bowed to him!

In terms of value, Murano Naohiro is obviously higher than Yuri Taro. Most of his goods in North China have to be transported from Tianjin Port to Shanghai or Zhenjiang. Therefore, the Jincheng Gendarmerie is the biggest reliance and guarantee. This devil must befriend well.

Yano Otosaburo, wearing a general official uniform, was kneeling on the tatami, and a set of exquisite ceramic tea sets was placed on the table in front of him. Seeing Chen Mingxiang coming, he stood up with great respect.

"Chen Jun, although it’s the first time I met, I’ve heard of your name a long time ago. He purchased supplies for the imperial army and received a medal from His Majesty the Emperor. And every time he went to the headquarters for a meeting, Kinoshita always I am full of praise for you, please sit down!" Yano Otosaburo said with a smile.

"I just did a little thing for the empire for the gendarmerie. I didn't dare to be the compliment of the general. General Kinoshita also asked me to convey his greetings to you." Chen Mingxiang said hurriedly.

After sitting down, a beautiful woman in a kimono came in and poured tea for the people present. This also made Chen Mingxiang feel very strange. He had never seen a woman in the Shanghai Military Police Headquarters.

"This is from the gendarmerie medical center, not an orthodox soldier, but she is very good at tea ceremony, so every time a guest comes, she calls her to be responsible for making tea." Murano Naohiro explained.

Chen Mingxiang nodded, indicating that he knew that medical soldiers did exist, and there were still a lot of them, which was nothing strange.

"In the past few days, I had a few phone calls with General Qingxuan Yanze, and Mr. Kinoshita also sent me a few messages. You went to the North China area to perform the tasks of the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Institute and carry out business activities. I already know it."

"The orders of the Xingya Institute also represent the will of the empire. The headquarters of the military police dispatched by North China will definitely be implemented. I have contacted the Kailuan Coal Mine in Phoenix. The coal has already been loaded and transported, and all the coal can be delivered within a week. Transport to Jincheng Port."

"Jun Yanze said that in order to crack down on the coal merchants in the Shanghai stock market and completely reverse the coal market, you have to open several briquettes factories in Jincheng, directly produce them and then ship them to the Shanghai stock market to solve the coal shortage problem. The Tianjin Gendarmerie will give you Helping."

"As long as it is a briquettes factory within the Jincheng area, it is of a little scale, and the gendarmerie will take charge of it to make briquettes specifically for you. If you are optimistic about the land near Jincheng Port, I will say hello to the city government. You don’t have to pay any money and go through the formalities directly.

"Tsucheng Port's transportation fleet will also provide you with some convenience, transport coal to designated places, and help you transport briquettes to the port for loading." Yano Oenzaburo said.

The important links of coal, transportation, and production sites were solved in three days. Speaking of which, the efficiency of the Japanese army was really high. If it were replaced by the bureaucrats of the Jinling government, it is estimated that they would not be able to do it in 30 days!

The problem that I was worried about is no longer a problem, but there is another most important problem, what is it?

Of course it is the distribution of benefits!

The reason why the North China Military Police Command is so active in providing resources is of course that it values ​​Chen Mingxiang's ability to make money, and wants to obtain long-term substantial benefits like the military police headquarters in Shanghai.

"To bring down the coal market in the Shanghai stock market, I have to sell at least 10,000 tons of briquettes every month. The profit per ton is about 200 yuan, which is equal to 2 million in the coupons. The gendarmerie can get 20%. That’s 400,000 Chinese savings coupons."

"For example, the purchase price of cotton in North China is about 80 yuan, and it is two hundred and forty yuan when shipped to the Shanghai stock market. Excluding the freight, the monthly profit of 10,000 quintals is 1 million. The gendarmerie provides assistance and can get 40%. , The same is four hundred thousand."

"For another example, the cost of shipping a ton of salt from Tianjin City is 38 yuan, and the salt tax is about 300 yuan, but if it is shipped to Central China, the sales per ton is about 3,200 yuan. Expenses, 2,000 tons per month is equivalent to 5 million in net profit, according to the distribution of 30%, it is equivalent to 1.5 million!"

"I dare to say that, if the gendarmerie can relax the restrictions, with sufficient supplies, I can pay the gendarmerie headquarters at least two million per month, which will only be more, not less!" Chen Mingxiang said.
