"To get enough strategic materials from the Jiangtong District of the Great Southwest, the most important thing is cotton yarn. This is the material the other party needs most. Of course, I know the empire also needs it, but the Kwantung Army Command issued a list of these goods. They are all prohibited items strictly controlled by the other party. I need enough chips."

"Actually, if you inquire, you will know that in the smuggling trade between Huatong Trading Company and Jiangtong District, cotton yarn and cotton cloth account for at least 60% of the share." Chen Mingxiang said.

Kwantung Army Command Chief of Staff and Supply Supervisor, Lieutenant General Yukio Kasahara, General Manager Yoshitake Furuno, Chief of Supply Supervisor Kiyohide Osuke Takada, and Takeda Takeda, had a meeting with Chen Mingxiang.

The content is naturally how much strategic materials and materials need to be paid by the Kwantung Army Command, which is also a crucial negotiation.

"Our headquarters is aware of the situation you mentioned. For the issue of cotton yarn and cotton cloth, you were squeezed out by the imperial textile merchants and had to move three textile factories from Shanghai to Suzhou. According to the construction speed, it is estimated that nine Work can start at the end of the month." Takeda Nodded and said.

The intelligence department of the Kwantung Army Command naturally conducted a general investigation of Chen Mingxiang. What's more, there is also the intelligence agency of the Manchurian Railway Investigation Department in Shanghai. Fortunately, when Lu Kunyu left, Chen Mingxiang did not have the current status, otherwise she would like It is a very dangerous thing to hide outside the gate.

"The issue of cotton yarn will be deployed by our headquarters. The key is that we need a lot of cotton. Winter is coming, and the coats of the imperial soldiers need to be implemented as soon as possible." Lieutenant General Kasahara said.

"If all of them are leading fine fabrics, the price of each piece in the Shanghai stock market is 10,000 yuan in the vouchers, and the current price of 20 cotton yarns is 6,000 yuan in the vouchers. Taking into account the shipping costs and the cost of weaving, I hope that the cotton yarn The price is stable at five thousand in each coupon."

"Let’s put it this way, I gave the Kwantung Army 1,000 pieces of cotton cloth, which is 33,000 horses, and you need to give me 1,500 pieces of 20 cotton yarn. This price and ratio are the greatest sincerity I can come up with. "Chen Mingxiang said.

"The price Chen Jun said is indeed not exaggerated. In this way, the Kwantung Army plus the number of the empire’s diaspora will be calculated based on approximately two million people, plus a part of the logistics reserve. I need at least 30,000 pieces of muslin for each quarter. You 45,000 pieces of 20 cotton yarn."

"It's September now. I will set you to finish the winter cloth by the end of December. There are still more than three months left. All these 30,000 pieces of leading fine cloth must be shipped to Manchuria. At least 10,000 pieces a month."

"But we need to pay you 45,000 pieces of cotton yarn. I strive to ship them all to the port within one month. You need cotton yarn to produce cotton. This is a bit of our sincerity."

"In addition, I won't let you suffer. All the goods, including cotton yarn, are shipped from the territory of Manchukuo to the port for shipment. All the expenses after your goods arrive at the port will be borne by our Kwantung Army Command. Let’s talk about the second kind of cargo, which is tung oil.” Major General Yoshitake Furuno said.

Is the price really not exaggerated?

In fact, one piece of Shanghai stock market’s leading muslin is 8,000 yuan in savings certificates. Chen Mingxiang raised it by 2,000 yuan, but the price of each piece of cotton yarn was 7,000 yuan, he compressed it to 5,000 yuan, and each piece made a net profit of 2,000 yuan. Half a piece of cotton yarn has already been earned in one out.

Coupled with the ratio of one piece to one piece and a half, Chen Mingxiang used this price to calculate the Kwantung Army, which is obviously a big talk for the lion.

What is this concept? Every time Chen Mingxiang sells a piece of muslin to the Kwantung Army Command, he will earn a piece of cotton yarn from the Kwantung Army Command!

Then again, if there is no such profit, who would do such a business?

The reason why representatives of the Kwantung Army have no objection is that they are still trying their best to provide convenience. On the one hand, it is the needs of the Kwantung Army Command itself, and on the other hand, it is because of Chen Mingxiang’s difficulties.

Monopoly can indeed generate the greatest benefits, but the money he earns from the exchange of materials is only part of what he gets, but all the forces that touch him are staring at him, and their eyes will glow green.

If you want to transport goods out of Manchukuo, in addition to the secret service, gendarmerie and police system, the economic department of the government will also benefit the people present at the headquarters.

There has never been such a thing before. The Kwantung Army Headquarters has always liked to live with the door closed. Whether it is the dispatched army headquarters and the North China Front Army headquarters in the pass, they are reluctant to deal with the Kwantung Army and become a type of hatred. .

Everyone knows that the Kwantung Army’s cotton cloth supply is insufficient and the strategic material reserve is insufficient. If materials can be exchanged with the customs, it will inevitably generate huge benefits. Unfortunately, no one can do it.

Now that the Kwantung Army Headquarters finally opened up the North-South exchange channel, Chen Mingxiang’s Huatong Trading Company bumped into it, no one opened his mouth, that’s a strange thing!

Chen Mingxiang wants to do smuggling business with Jiangtong District, he also has to get permission from the Central China Gendarmerie, the Mei Department and the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Institute, and he has to establish a good relationship with the Jinling government. It seems to be very profitable, but finally In his hands, it may be 30% profit.

If Chen Mingxiang is not allowed to make any money, they will just pick him up, and the Kwantung Army Headquarters can't do anything about it. Chen Mingxiang is not a mess outside the pass.

"Thank you for your efforts in the exchange of materials outside Guanwai and Central China. Tonight, I invite you all to have dinner. You can choose the place. Let's relax." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

The negotiation lasted for three days. Every detail of the cooperation was discussed repeatedly, such as cotton yarn, tung oil, bristles, rosin, tungsten ore, cotton cloth, etc., each category was finalized, and a cooperation agreement was finally formed.

The Kwantung Army Headquarters was rich in money and did not have much disagreement with the price, but the quantity needed made Chen Mingxiang very troubled. He wanted too much, and he couldn't hold it at all and had to cut a part.

"Chen Jun is too polite. The cooperation agreement between us has been approved after reporting to the commander last night, and it will be implemented in accordance with the agreed terms."

"Tonight, the manager will come out to entertain you. After all, we are the landlord. I will send a car to pick you up at six o'clock. I will rest in the afternoon." Furuno said with a smile.

Listen, how shameless it is to regard yourself as a landlord in an occupied area in a foreign country, and it also reflects Japan's wolf ambition.

Of course, Chen Mingxiang will not waste three days of contact time. This is also a great opportunity to get closer to each other. He secretly gave Furuno Yoshitake 100,000 U.S. dollars, Kasawara Yukio 100,000 U.S. dollars, and Takada Kiyoshi 10,000 U.S. dollars, otherwise, Why does the Kwantung Army Headquarters invite guests to dinner?
