"Your Excellency, the North China Liaison Department of the Japan Koya Institute has approved my coal purchase and coal transportation qualifications. I will be given 50,000 tons of coal in the first month and 20,000 tons of coal each month. To stabilize coal prices in the Shanghai stock market, the military police headquarters from North China and the Tianjin military police are fully guaranteed."

"In view of the extremely serious coal shortage problem in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, Major General Yanze Qingxuan, the North China Liaison Director of the Xingya Institute, suggested that I should have a sudden attack on the coal industry in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Only the coal merchants in the Shanghai Stock Exchange felt unbearable pain. In order to do business according to our rules of the game."

"For this reason, with the help of the Jincheng gendarmerie, I temporarily took over several briquettes factories in Jincheng, and also opened a large briquettes factory. I am currently making preliminary preparations for the briquettes purchased by the Shanghai Stock Exchange to be transported to Jincheng. , Will start immediately." Chen Mingxiang said.

On the second day he returned to the Shanghai stock market from Tianjin, he came to the municipal government. At any rate, he was also a senior official with three positions. In addition to selling leave, he also gave a serious report to Chen Gongbo on the activities in Pingjin and Tianjin. , The municipal government has to subsidize two hundred yuan in savings certificates per ton of briquettes.

I used to think that this subsidy standard was okay, but as the Japanese military ticket will cease to be used in April next year, the China Reserve Voucher will depreciate in at most half a year. This subsidy is not enough.

The devaluation of banknotes is a very terrible thing. Chen Mingxiang needs to complete his commercial layout in Central China, North China and outside the customs within this six months, in order to have enough strength to deal with such a situation.

"Brother Mingxiang, your ability to do things is far beyond my imagination. As long as the price of coal can be lowered, citizens will no longer worry about living fuels, and the prestige of our municipal government will be built up. Do this well, you Not only the hero of the Shanghai stock market, but also the hero of the Jinling government, I will consider your future."

"But you also have to consider the actual difficulties. The Shanghai stock market has a population of up to 4 million, and the urban area occupies more than half. The amount of briquettes is very staggering. Can the output of these briquettes plants that you temporarily organize can be guaranteed to disrupt the market? The effect?" Chen Gongbo asked.

His worries are not superfluous. This matter is of great importance. Since he came to the Shanghai Stock Exchange and became the mayor, he has done everything in accordance with the instructions of the Japanese. The dignified Jinling Government Legislative Yuan and the mayor of the Shanghai Stock Exchange are just like It's a string puppet, he has to do whatever people say.

Finally, the coal shortage in the Shanghai Stock Exchange has aroused the resentment of the Japanese government, and this matter is closely related to the lives of the citizens. It is the crucial time to establish his personal image. Naturally, he should pay special attention.

"Your Excellency, please don’t worry. The production of briquettes, a living fuel, has no technical content. The key lies in whether the coal channel is stable. If it is not for the quantitative coal given to me and the reaction of Japanese businessmen, I can completely Monopolize the production and sales of the entire urban area."

"The first month is a running-in period. The preparations in all aspects are definitely not perfect. I plan to produce 10,000 tons of briquettes in the first batch, which is 200,000 quintals and put them on the market. It will last until the end of the year. After the briquettes are delivered to the Shanghai stock market, they will be sold at a price of 25 yuan per catties."

"The coal merchants in the Shanghai stock market have been hoarding coal for at least three months. Therefore, the price may not change significantly in the first month or two months after I operate, but I judge that they will not last three months at most. Talk to me and you will be unable to withstand threats in the fourth month."

"Your Excellency, my current financial resources can last up to five months at the maximum. This has reached the limit. I hope you know that although it is dealing with matters related to the Japanese Empire, the Japanese army-controlled coal mines cost a ton of coal. It’s also 400 yuan."

"This means that in the first month I have to invest 20 million in the vouchers, and for the next four months, 8 million in vouchers each month, which is more than 50 million in total, just buying coal. the cost of!"

"If you count the cost of operating the briquettes factory, buying machinery, water and electricity, fleet transportation, loading and unloading, and labor, I can't get it for less than 60 million yuan. I'm already stretched out." Chen Mingxiang said, seemingly embarrassed.

Any time you talk to your enemy, you must be half-truths, not purely lying, you must stand scrutiny, make excuses, and have room for maneuver.

The lie is that Chen Mingxiang, as a strategic agent of the Military Statistics Bureau, has always made decisions for long-term missions. How could he let himself do something without leaving a way?

The companies and factories currently opened are his biggest bargaining chip in fulfilling his duties and accomplishing his mission. It is absolutely undesirable to devote resources to putting himself in danger.

The Kailuan Coal Mine was controlled by the Japanese army and Japanese businessmen. The purchase and transportation costs of coal for Chen Mingxiang were settled internally by the Central China Liaison Department and the North China Liaison Department of the Xingya Institute, and he did not need to spend money first.

Ota Taiji was held accountable by the Koya Institute headquarters due to the coal shortage. He was also given an important resource to allow him to pay the cost to Central China after he sold the briquettes after being smoked by the Japanese chaebol. unit.

But only Ota Taiji, Shiozawa Kiyosuan and him knew about this. Even if Chen Gongbo is a high-ranking authority, how can he obtain such confidential information from the Xingya Institute?

"Commissioner Chen, who didn't know that you are the God of Wealth in the Shanghai stock market. Coal is a scarce material in the Shanghai stock market. It can be sold out when shipped to the Shanghai stock market. It makes no sense to cry poorly? Is it because of the relocation of the textile factory? Has the liquidity been affected by smuggling?" Mo Guokang said with a smile.

She is not tearing down the stage but assisting. Chen Gongbo is a shrewd person who is not easy to fool, otherwise she will not be able to reach her current position. Explaining the doubts clearly in time will help the follow-up conversation.

Mo Guokang is a practical woman. She wants to benefit from the sale of briquettes. Of course, she is very concerned about Chen Mingxiang, even to the point of eccentricity.The Jinling government's money is not hers. When it comes to the money in the pocket, it is really own money.

There are both financial interests and a vague goodwill between her and Chen Mingxiang. It is not normal to get along with each other for a long time.

"Secretary Mo is right. The briquettes are definitely not worried about selling at the moment. They can be turned over in two months. But the problem is that I earn a lot and spend a lot. I really don't have that much capital."

“It’s a good idea to just concentrate on doing this. You know, I’ve been burdened recently, and I’m in need of funds everywhere. I have already borrowed from the Reserve Bank of China for the textile factory.”

"I was in Pingjin and Tianjin, just to open up the relationship, it cost more than 10 million, otherwise the coal has always been controlled in the hands of the Japanese chaebol, how could I get such authorization and convenience?"

"With another 20 million funds, the company's most important smuggling business has been greatly affected. I even have to worry about the accountability of the military police headquarters." Chen Mingxiang explained.
