Chen Mingxiang's decision to close a textile factory in Suzhou was really not a lie to the bureau's headquarters, but his judgment on the current situation, or the situation prompted him to make such a choice.

It's not simply because of the raw materials, the reasons are very complicated. For this reason, he has carefully considered it and believes that closing a family is good for his future.

"At the end of March and early April, I am going to close the largest textile mill in Suzhou, and all the cotton resources that can be collected in the province will be invested in the second and third textile plants, so that normal operations can be maintained. "

"Cotton is a necessity in daily life. Some of the textile factories that have been recovered from the Japanese army in Shanghai will also be started one after another. This will require a large number of textile workers. I have seen that several have begun to advertise in newspapers for recruitment."

"You also know that most of the female workers in our three textile factories followed from the Shanghai stock market to Suzhou because they had no alternative. They can't take care of family affairs. Now that there is a chance, I would rather earn less and want to return to Shanghai. The market is a bit unstable."

"I plan to release all the workers who have voluntarily resigned. Haiwen is counting the number of people. It is estimated that at least half of them will return to the Shanghai stock market. Of course, there are also a large number of unemployed workers in the Shanghai stock market. , I also have to make some changes." Chen Mingxiang said.

Even if the Japanese aggressors are greedy and need cotton cloth, they have to let the people in the occupied areas have cloth to make clothes. This is an indispensable material in daily life.

As far as the current situation is concerned, most people can't make a set of clothes in a year, and they can continue to wear them with stitches. It is not a problem to be unsightly.It's just that the population base of the Shanghai stock market is too large, and in addition to the needs of the enemy-occupied areas of the provinces, some textile factories have to be put into operation.

The output will certainly not be very large. The distribution right of cotton is in the hands of Japanese merchants. Electricity gives priority to Japanese merchants. In this case, it is not easy to survive.

The main force of Chen Mingxiang’s textile factory is the tens of thousands of skilled female workers brought to Suzhou from the Shanghai Stock Exchange. He is not a capitalist who earns hard-earned money by exploitation. He must be sent back to the Shanghai Stock Exchange if he is willing to go, so that he can gain a good reputation. .

But at least half of the female textile workers, also because of their families, will not leave his textile factory. Regarding the salary, they will work for him for a month. It is estimated that they will spend three to four months in the Shanghai stock market.

As for welfare, it is a dream thing in other companies, but he can provide cheap grain, soybean oil, matches, salt, etc. It is good for other textile factories to eat a bite.

"You are pessimistic about the future situation. I don't oppose you closing the factory. I'm just a little curious. Do you have strategic considerations for your move?" Wang Zhen said with a smile.

She has never opposed Chen Mingxiang's decision, and she doesn't pay much attention to the interests of the textile factory. Even if she does nothing now, the next generations will not have to worry about life problems.

"Until the end of the War of Resistance, the situation will only get worse. Don't expect the textile mills to become more and more prosperous. There are no orders for the Kwantung Army. It may be affected by the war. I plan to go outside the customs the day after tomorrow. Come, test the tone of the manager of the Kwantung Army Headquarters."

"If they don't plan to continue to place orders with us, or if the number of orders is small, I will simply close both the second and third factories and concentrate the workers in the first factory to continue production, so as to achieve 50% of the current output. "

"Cotton is the key to restricting textile mills, but no one can solve this problem. The Japanese troops dispatched to China, the Kwantung Army, and the puppet troops of the Wang puppet government add up to more than two million, and the amount of cotton consumed is extremely staggering. Not counting, the civilian use of Japan and the Southern Army in Southeast Asia are bottomless pits, and there is not enough cotton."

"Cotton cloth and cotton yarn are the main materials I exchange with the Kuomintang Controlled Area. The textile mills have reduced production and cannot produce enough materials for exchange. The problem is the Japanese themselves. They want to control the distribution of cotton and they want me to engage in smuggling. Is there such a good thing?"

"It is impossible to increase the supply of cotton for me. This is the limit set by the Japanese army's own demand. Their only way is to squeeze a portion of the share from Japanese businessmen, so as to reduce the supply to the inside. This is a dilemma. Thing."

"My industry has long been jealous of many people, and sooner or later it will become the target of public criticism. In the future, except for cigarette factories, silk weaving factories and tea factories, I will no longer engage in industry and focus on the operation of salt. These are not so sensitive after all." Chen Mingxiang said.

"I checked the accounts of the Haiyuan Salt Industry Company Chang'an Trading Company yesterday. The salt we transported to the Kuomintang Controlled Area has not been settled by the headquarter of the bureau to the trading bank. This is more than 3,000 tons of table salt, worth 1,000. More than ten thousand legal currency." Wang Zhen said.

"It is estimated that after a new year, the financial situation of the bureau's headquarters has deteriorated again. When encountering such a major holiday, the Military Unification Bureau will have to fight relations and go through the scene. Provincial stations and districts in various regions will not only write off funds, but also I don’t dare to pay more attention to festival expenses in name, and secretly turn it into various reasons."

"You inform the Chang'an Trading Bank, asking them to prompt the head of the bureau to check out. We can't speak with the trading bank's own request. That's for excitement." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

The local station of the Military Reunification Bureau opened its mouth to ask the headquarters of the bureau to settle the payment. This is a joke. Do you want to get involved in the Military Reunification Bureau?

"Is this bad? Since you know the financial situation of the bureau's headquarters is not good, and you have to make a request from the trading bank, will Boss Dai be angry?" Wang Zhen asked.

"So I asked the Changan Trading Bank to mention this by myself. They are all veterans and they know how to operate. The distance between us and the trading bank is too far. The trading bank’s capital turnover is difficult, and the headquarter’s money cannot be sent in a short time. This is completely reasonable and reasonable in the Kuomintang Controlled Area. You don't understand, it will be troublesome if you don't do this!" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

He felt a little uncomfortable, so he wanted to add to the trouble for Boss Dai. In terms of work, the direct subordinate station did impeccably, and provided the bureau headquarters with the foundation for entering the Yanzhou base area. It is not my problem if the bureau can not enter. The headquarter doesn't pay the purchase price, what's the matter?

Furthermore, he can't give the bureau headquarters the impression that it is rich and powerful. This will make the bureau headquarters accustomed to problems. In the future, when encountering such things, he will deduct the payment at will, and he can't support the expenditure of the military statistics bureau.

During the period of the Republic of China, banks were not developed, and the funds of the Haiyuan Salt Company headquarters could not be transferred to Chang'an through banks controlled by the Japanese puppets. That would also bring great risks.

When the Chang'an Trading Bank was established, the manager brought a large amount of start-up capital. As long as the payment for the goods in the bureau is settled well, there will be no financial difficulties. I found the source of money for you, but you are dragging it back. What is it called What's the matter?
