"I will return to the Shanghai stock market tomorrow, clean up, and go outside the customs as soon as possible. I will leave it to you to deal with the problem of the briquettes factory and the salt field. Manager Sun, you have been doing import and export trade with the British Foreign Bank for 20 years. I believe this can't help you." Chen Mingxiang said.

Jincheng Port, or the entire Jincheng area, is the core lifeline of the commercial network in North China, and the top priority of the Beiping branch. It is not only responsible for the two matters of coal and salt, but also responsible for the transportation of materials from Jincheng. , To import materials from Central China to Jincheng, most of the goods from North China also have to be exported from Jincheng Port to Central China.

Chen Mingxiang chose Sun Dingxin, a person who has served as a senior manager of the foreign bank for many years, to set up the office. Chen Mingxiang has carefully considered it. For this reason, he offered a high salary of 600,000 yuan in the voucher every year.

The monthly salary of workers in the Shanghai stock market is only more than 60 yuan and less than 70 yuan. Sun Dingxin alone is equal to the total monthly salary of 10,000 workers. This salary is not high.

"Boss, you have just arrived in the Pingjin area for a few days, and you are walking a little hastily, right?" Sun Dingxin said with incomprehension.

With such a large business volume in North China, you can simply walk around Pingjin and Tianjin, and then return to the Shanghai stock market. Is there a mistake?

"It takes at least two or three months for your Beiping branch to sort out the two places in Ping and Tianjin. The military police system in the entire North China region has no obstacles. The military police in Beiping and Jincheng fully support Xingya. I have also obtained the cargo handling permit from the North China Liaison Department, and I have told you the general direction of the company. Is it possible that I have to stare at you for work?"

"I still have a branch in Xinjing. As the boss, you shouldn't favor one another. You can keep an eye on the production of briquettes. I will come back in mid-September. If I can't get results then, we have to settle the bill. One hundred thousand tons of briquettes will not do just one load."

"Also, the rules I set for the briquettes factory must not be discounted by your office. They must be implemented exactly. If I find that I am going wrong, it depends on how I can clean up you." Chen Mingxiang said.

"Businessmen in every place are very close to their own territory. The business of our Beiping branch must conflict with them. Driven by interests, there may be some extraordinary methods." Sun Dingxin said.

This is the value of an expert. Every step must be considered carefully. The office has not yet opened. First, the conflicts between local and foreign businessmen must be counted.

Coal, cotton, and salt are the most scarce supplies in the occupied areas. Even if the Japanese army is greedy, they will not monopolize the entire industry, and some people must be allowed to participate.

Japan needs coal, and the daily life of the people in North China also needs coal. Cotton and salt are also the same reason. The intention of the Japanese imperialist government is to turn China into their colony and logistics supply base. Therefore, at this stage, it will not The local people were forced to survive, and the Pacific War had not seen any signs of failure.

The businessmen who can get permission from the Japanese army to do this kind of business are definitely not ordinary people, either traitors or traitors. They are not good men and believers, and it is not surprising that they use three kinds of abuse.

"I'm afraid they don't have the guts to do such a thing, just to reshuffle the industry here, just the North China Liaison Department and the North China Military Police Headquarters, I spent dozens of these three days Ten thousand dollars in cash, do you think I have too much money?"

"The Jincheng Gendarmerie will send a military police squad to the briquettes factory. Each person is paid 500 yuan a month. I forgot. You set up a small stove in the briquettes factory and hire a cook from the Japanese concession. Eat here. We organize a lounge, buy a few sets of sofas and coffee tables, and put them on. Tea and cigarettes can't be interrupted. Anyway, we have them at home." Chen Mingxiang said.

The main commodities entering North China include tea and cigarettes. There are two stable sources of tea in Suzhou and Hangzhou. Although cigarettes are a bit tight, it is no problem to get a few boxes of them every month.

This situation can be greatly alleviated when the cigarette factory in Anhui province is put into production. The Luzhou purchase station in Anhui province is building a tobacco factory in Qiaocheng to directly purchase Xuchang tobacco leaves, which will become the main source of export.

Why is he anxious to return to the Shanghai stock market?

Qingqi Qingyin gave him two important pieces of information. The Sulu war zone and the underground party base of the Shancheng government will be subject to a major sweep. This is a major event related to thousands of lives and deaths. His job is to collect information and make money. It's secondary, just an auxiliary means.

On the morning of the third day after arriving in Jincheng, Chen Mingxiang returned to Shanghai by a Japanese army transport plane. Jincheng Gendarmerie Captain Naohiro Murano personally saw him off at the airport. Two and a half hours later, Chen Mingxiang's plane landed at Hongqiao Military Airport.

The Gendarmerie Command’s car was already waiting at the airport, and Tanaka Daisuke from the General Affairs Department personally greeted him. Chen Mingxiang opened up new sources of coal in this area, and the Gendarmerie Command increased his income. Of course, he was happy to run to the airport to meet the God of Wealth.

"Tanaka-kun, just call and ask the driver of the company to pick me up. I'm sorry to trouble you to pick me up in person!" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

The Tianjin Gendarmerie had a radio contact with the headquarters of the Shanghai Gendarmerie and told the extra-high school Chen Mingxiang the approximate time to arrive at Hongqiao Airport. Actually, it didn't take long, just over half an hour.

"General Kinoshita is very concerned about your activities in Pingjin and Tianjin, especially about coal. He is waiting for you at the headquarters. Don't go home. Let's eat together at noon." Tanaka said.

Don’t say why you’re concerned, anyway, the military police headquarters always has a certain share. No matter how small a mosquito is, it’s meat, not to mention that this is a long-term gain.

When he came to the military police headquarters, Chen Mingxiang gave a detailed report on his activities in North China, especially the transactions with the military police headquarters dispatched to North China.

"I want to reduce the price of briquettes from 30 yuan per 100 yuan to 25 yuan per 100 yuan, and I must make a profit of 5 yuan per 100 yuan for the downstream, plus the cost, which is equal to the same income. "

"The municipal government subsidized me two hundred yuan for one ton of vouchers, and the quota for 10,000 tons is two million. This is all the current profits. The specific distribution is that our Gendarmerie Command, the North China Dispatch Gendarmerie Command and the Shanghai Stock Exchange Each of the yamen has a share of 20%, and each of them can get 400,000 vouchers."

"The remaining four hundred and eight hundred thousand yuan will be included in the investment in building a briquettes factory in Tianjin, buying machinery, and setting up briquettes shops in Shanghai. If I want to make money, I will have to wait until next year the price will return to 30 yuan per patal, at least I had no profit years ago." Chen Mingxiang said.
