Wind spy

Fengchang Textile Factory, Maoyuan Textile Factory and Chenghai Textile Factory started Huatong Trading Company from Chen Mingxiang. They started normally under his protection. Except for the relocation period, they never stopped the machine at all.

More than 10,000 workers are carefully selected skilled workers. After the fall of the Shanghai stock market, the most important thing is the workers. The pressure of competition is also very high, and the skills almost have to destroy their jobs.

Regardless of whether the textile factory arrived in Suzhou from the Shanghai stock market, some textile workers who want to work there are high salaries and good benefits. They can go home four times a month. It is already a dream to find such a job during the war. Woke up with a smile.

When the textile factory was relocated, with the support of the military police headquarters, a large number of machines were removed from the British and American textile factories, and the production capacity was greatly improved. In addition, the Suzhou City Government's resources were inclined to provide water and electricity. No need to worry about the output.

"I have never worried that textile factories will have no orders. At the moment, whether it is in the Kuomintang-controlled or occupied areas, there is a shortage of cotton everywhere. Because of the war, the output of textile factories is far below demand. But this is a necessity of life. The business opportunities are unlimited."

"The biggest worry comes from the insufficient supply of cotton yarn and cotton. You also know that the purchasing power of cotton in the occupied areas is in the hands of Japanese textile merchants. This is an important control material and also the economic plunder policy of the Japanese government."

"It doesn’t matter if it’s just a little trouble, but the daily consumption of the three large textile factories is extremely alarming. My large-scale purchase of cotton in cotton-producing areas is bound to cause a strong backlash from the Japanese Textile Industry Association. The textile factory moved from Shanghai to Su Zhou, isn't it because of this reason?"

"Fortunately, this time I have reached a material exchange cooperation with the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and can transport cotton yarn from outside the customs to Suzhou, otherwise I really panic."

"Think about it, more than 10,000 workers are counting on me to bring them income, and what's behind, may be the living security of more than 10,000 families and tens of thousands of people, and the burden on them is very heavy!" Chen Mingxiang said.

Ninety-nine percent of the workers in textile factories are female workers. This is also a feature of this industry. If it weren't for the support of the family, who would come to Suzhou from the Shanghai Stock Exchange?

Chen Mingxiang believes that since he brought these workers to Suzhou, he has the responsibility to ensure that everyone can maintain the most basic survival needs, at least not to die from starvation and freezing, and to barely survive. Therefore, within the scope of his ability, he provides as much as possible. welfare.

"The workers are very satisfied with the current environment. There is no extortion by local gangsters, no bullying by the Japanese and puppets. The monthly salary in the Shanghai Stock Exchange is more than 60 yuan in savings coupons. We have doubled, especially in the cafeteria. No money."

"By the way, I have to tell you something. The price of rice in Suzhou is much cheaper than the Shanghai stock market. The Shanghai stock market is six hundred Chinese vouchers and one stone rice, while Suzhou only has more than two hundred and one stone rice. Everyone is thinking about buying something for the family. Cheap rice."

"However, the Japanese imposed a strict blockade on the Shanghai stock market. If they find that they are carrying rice without permission, they will be confiscated and punished. Although this is not a big matter, it is very important," said Zhou Haiwen.

The Shanghai stock market is a metropolis, and prices are naturally ridiculously high. The key is that the Japanese strictly control the grain-producing areas in the land of fish and rice in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The rice is either looted to Japan or purchased at a low price as military food. The quantity is dwindling, and the price is bound to rise.

However, the price of rice in Jiangsu Province is not as high as the Shanghai stock market, at least three times lower. The workers want to use the price difference between the two places to buy some rice to bring back to the Shanghai stock market.

"This is easy to handle. I just need to say hello to the military police headquarters. If you go home, you will take the car in the factory. In the Shanghai market, who dares to stop and check my car?"

"Let me tell you the good news. Li Shiqun will provide us with 150 tons of broken rice every month in the name of supporting local enterprises by the provincial government, basically guaranteeing a subsidy of one catty of rice per person per day, and they can save them. bring home."

"The Qingxiang Committee plundered a lot of grain in Jiangsu Province. As the chairman of the province, Li Shiqun also has a lot of resources in his hands. I will discuss with him and buy low-priced grain for my textile mills, silk mills, and silk reeling factories every month. , Tea factories, etc., the canteens continue to keep rice without money, and an additional 30 kilograms of broken rice per person."

"In addition, the cotton plundered by the Qingxiang Committee in the Soviet province will also be supplied to us. The price can be said to be very affordable. Each package is only 60 yuan. This afternoon I will finalize this matter and send the cotton back to spinning as soon as possible. Cotton yarn." Chen Mingxiang said.

"I have shipped the tea and silk needed outside the customs to Yingkou Port. It is not easy. The silk reeling factory, the silk weaving factory and the tea factory are all worried about the sales problem. The silk and tea we produce are now all high-end products. Consumer goods, this time I finally feel relieved." Zhou Haiwen said.

Silk was not originally worn by ordinary people. From its birth to the present, it has been a high-end luxury. If it is changed to the Ming Dynasty, even businessmen are not qualified to wear silk satin, which is a symbol of status.

As for tea, because of the impact of the war, the price has fallen all the way for a long time, and tea merchants and tea farmers have gone bankrupt, resulting in a lack of supply on the market, and the price suddenly skyrocketed. We all know that Hangzhou Longjing tea is top-grade, but there is no place to buy it!

That is to say, Chen Mingxiang has such channels and networks all over the country. He owns a huge commercial fleet that can be transported to various places for sales. Speaking of which, he has contributed a lot to the tea farmers in Central China.

"Last time I watched you outside the Zhaofeng General Club, the group arrested by the gendarmerie was the subordinate of Chengzi Kojima, right?" Li Shiqun hosted Chen Mingxiang at the most luxurious restaurant in Suzhou at noon.

This is the God of Wealth, who can bring him 5 million in savings coupons every month, plus the long-term profits from salt sales, it is worthy of him to receive with the highest standards.

In addition to the benefits brought by the two posts of Provincial Chairman and Secretary-General of the Qingxiang Committee, the dividends given by Chen Mingxiang are his biggest source of financial resources, and he simply cannot resist.

Other income also needs to support the secret agent headquarters, and also need to manage relationships. Although he occupies the bulk of it, it is impossible to monopolize it, and Chen Mingxiang's money can be put in his pocket.

"In addition to this female spy like a mad dog, who else would dare to monitor me so arrogantly in the Shanghai stock market? It is estimated that she just came to Central China to serve as the head of the intelligence department of the Mei Department. She urgently needs highlights and achievements to stabilize her position. The breakthrough point of the choice is the operatives of the Military Statistics Bureau lurking in the secret service headquarters code-named Chunfeng."

"I have been serving in the secret service headquarters and the headquarters of the gendarmerie in Shanghai, and I have frequent exchanges with the major Japanese agencies in Shanghai. I have all possible conditions. Therefore, I have become a key suspect. She will not give up until she reaches her goal. ."

"I ran to Su Zhou this time, and I didn't want to have any more conflicts with her. I felt like I could not bear it anymore," Chen Mingxiang said.
