Chapter 910 The Battle of the Salt Industry

Hearing Wu Ziying's words, even Chen Mingxiang couldn't help but admire it. What a smart girl, she deserves to be highly educated and born in a merchant family, and she understood it completely correct.

The snipe and the clam compete for the benefit of the fishermen, creating an environment of mutual opposition and competition, so that Haiyuan Salt Industry Company becomes the arbitrator. Both parties must rely on the company to obtain benefits and even survive, and maximize benefits .

"You are very clever. When my secretary is a bit awkward, if there is no competition, the new salt merchants will quickly advance toward the monopoly. This is not in line with my intentions." Chen Mingxiang nodded and said.

Regardless of whether it is a new salt merchant or an old salt merchant, they actually did not understand the fact that where the Haiyuan Salt Company can cover, it is Chen Mingxiang who really monopolizes, and they are only downstream wholesalers. It is good to drink soup. Yes, still want to eat meat?

"Boss, in our central China area, how many beautiful girls want to be your secretary? I am very satisfied with this opportunity, and I dare not have too high expectations."

"Secretary of the Chief of Police, police chiefs everywhere have to give me face, and the police chiefs of Guangling even give gifts to my family during the New Year. Even the status of my family in Guangling is rising. I have a small request." Wu Ziying Said with a smile.

"Look, the fox's tail is coming, let's listen." Chen Mingxiang also smiled.

"Boss, my family also sells salt in Guangling. Can you sign and approve a salt purchase license for my family? My father also wants to do salt wholesale business." Wu Ziying said.

Wholesale requires more capital than retail, but retail is definitely not as fast as wholesale. Wholesale is aimed at salt shops, which are large in number and fast. Retail is aimed at the common people. It has a relatively trivial and long cycle, and its position in the industry is worlds apart. .

The so-called procurement license, to put it plainly, is the qualification to become a salt merchant. With this license, you can wholesale salt from Haiyuan Salt Industry Company.

"Why, are you anxious to make money for yourself to save a dowry?" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

He didn’t dislike his secretary’s request. In addition to being in charge of the police department, Wu Ziying also helped him contact the new salt merchants in the south and north of the Yangtze River. There was no credit and hard work. Didn’t he just want to engage in salt wholesale? Things.

During the period of the Republic of China, there was no requirement for the wholesale sales qualifications of table salt. As long as you have the money to do this kind of business, anyone can join, but the question is, whether it can be purchased is the most important thing.

"Yeah, at the age of twenty-six, I think I have at least two or three children before. In the eyes of others, I am an old girl. If I don’t save myself a dowry, what if no one marries, boss, you Seeing that I look good, maybe you just accept me!" Wu Ziying said with a smile.

This is a very scheming girl who knows how to use this innocent joke to get closer to her boss. No wonder she was chosen by the salt merchants to be the contact person!

"The most indispensable thing in the Shanghai stock market is pretty girls. If I want a woman, I can get to the Huangpu River from the 76th, but it's rare to be as smart as you."

"Alright, I will write you a note, take it to Haiyuan Salt Industry Company to go through the formalities, take the share of Changlu Salt Farm, how much is needed, wait for your father and the new salt merchants to coordinate, and start the operation from the next batch of salt. "Chen Mingxiang said.

After teasing his secretary for a while, Chen Mingxiang, who was in a good mood, just returned home when he heard Wang Zhenyi's message about the message from the bureau, and his mood suddenly went down.

The bureau headquarters not only wants Chang'an Trading Company to give the bureau headquarters 1,000 tons of lake salt a month, but also Haiyuan Salt Industry Company to give Zhejiang Station 1,000 tons of sea salt a month. This is a deadly order and must be completed.

The most important thing is that it doesn't matter if the bureau's headquarters needs salt, but it doesn't even pay for it!As for the purchase price, Chen Mingxiang had to find a way by himself, and the bureau headquarters would give him all of it within three months.

"It seems that after the celebration of the conference on April 1, the funding of our Military Statistics Bureau again had problems, forcing Boss Dai to focus his idea on salt income to alleviate the dilemma. Two thousand tons per month does not sound like a lot, but even the purchase price. Inside, this money is a lot."

"The news I got is that the maximum amount of salt in Guangdong Province is 1,400 yuan per catty, which is 14 yuan per catty. This is a regional price, but even in Sichuan Province, it has reached more than 600 yuan per catty. Six yuan per catty, twelve thousand per ton, is equivalent to 24 million legal currency per month." Wang Zhen said.

"What can I do? For the money, even Boss Dai started to behave like a gangster. I still dare to resist the order? As a subordinate, I only have to obey. The Military Manpower Bureau stands in so many places and has tens of thousands of people. It’s really unbalanced if I don’t let go."

"The sea salt in the Changlu Saltworks is easy to handle. As for the lake salt, I will find relevant personnel to contact the Yanzhou side tonight and continue to deliver the goods to the Changan Trading Company. This is forcing me to contact the underground party! Look at me You also have to ask for a power of attorney to prevent someone from looking for the bill in the future!" Chen Mingxiang said.

This is true. He really wanted to ask Pan Qiwu to ask Boss Dai to sign an authorization order to grant him access to the underground party. Otherwise, he might become the target of attacks in the future.

The commissioner of the Shancheng government, but he gritted his teeth when he heard about the underground party, no matter how much credit it has made for the Shancheng government, whoever touches the underground party will definitely be unlucky.

"Your company does not have a bank as a transit channel in the Kuomintang Controlled Area, and the distance between the two places is too far. It is very inconvenient to send money. The head of the base area also agreed to pay the goods from the Shanghai stock market. This is also convenient for direct transfer to the two base areas in southern Jiangsu and northern Jiangsu. ."

"Ming Xiang, on behalf of the organization, I have an unrelenting request. The depreciation of the legal currency is very fast, almost every once in a while. There are practical difficulties in purchasing materials in the base area. The chief wants to ask you for help and pay for the salt. Exchange some hard currency, preferably gold, you can operate according to the price of the black market. For this, the leaders understand that it is not easy to exchange gold in the current Shanghai stock market." Zheng Tonghui said.

"Black market? Twelve gold bars last year was 20,000 yuan a piece. This year it has risen to 30,000. The value of one ton of lake salt is less than 3,000. You only need to change a gold bar for ten tons. Table salt is the main financial support for the Yanzhou base area. How much salt can be exchanged?" Chen Mingxiang said.

"I know what you are talking about is the truth. In the early stage, only one hundred pieces were prepared to be exchanged. In order to use it in a special emergency, it is impossible to have no reserve in hand." Zheng Tonghui said.

Chen Mingxiang said that one deposit coupon was 30,000 yuan, which is already a conscience price. In fact, don't even think about changing to one without 35,000 yuan.Prices in the Shanghai stock market have risen too fast. Rice reached 1,200 yuan a stone, and the price has doubled more than a hundred times before the War of Resistance. It has only been a few years!
