"It's time to go outside and take a look!"
Zhang Tianhao let out a long sigh, then took a few people into a car and headed towards the Japanese residential area.
He also knew that someone was watching him now, and he could only pretend that he didn't see it. After all, it was just suspicion, just a suspicion.
"By the way, Master, it stands to reason that you have to go to the Kodama Chamber of Commerce to report and do a simple publicity today."
"Who came up with the idea to let me go public and push me to the front desk?"
When he heard this, he was stunned and asked immediately.
"It was arranged by Director Kodama. Do you want to go there?"
"I won't go. Are you asking me to die? For such publicity, I can stand down and visit, but I can never stand up to promote it. So many big chambers of commerce are not looking for it, but they are looking for me. Isn't it interesting?"
"That's okay, I rejected them!"
Sun Xinxin picked up some memos, wrote them down, and then opened them again and said: "Also, the municipal government wants to invite you to participate in a plan for Shanghai's economic recovery this afternoon. Do you want to go?"
"Go, you can go and attend an economic conference. Anyway, just be a transparent person."
"Okay, it's three o'clock in the afternoon. In addition, there is a cocktail party at the city hall in the evening. Do you want to attend?"
"The cocktail party is after the meeting?"
"Yes, it will be held after the meeting."
"Okay, then go and participate. As long as you don't let me take the lead, you can still participate."
While they were talking, the four of them had already arrived at Miyuan Club, and the place was already at work, and the staff were working inside.
When Zhang Tianhao came in, many people saluted and greeted him.
The staff here are mainly Chinese, with only a minority of Japanese. From the beginning, he asked Chizo Wuten to do this.
After all, if he recruits more people here, he will lose a few Chinese people there, and there is only so much he can do.
"President, you are here!"
Qian Chong Wu Teng couldn't help but say politely when he saw Zhang Tianhao.
"Well, Qianzhong-kun, how is the situation now?"
"Everything in the club is good, except for the few pieces sold where the income is less. Apart from that, our obligations are purer! Management is more convenient."
"With low income, it doesn't matter much. How about the food we import from the United States now? I want to ask about food. This is the biggest guarantee for the lives of SH citizens and is also our main source of income."
Sitting in the office, Sun Xinxin poured two cups of tea and placed them directly in front of the two of them. Then Zhang Tianhao and Qian Zhong Wu Teng sat down and started chatting.
The basic supplies of life are the most important, and he only has these abilities.
"President, the problem of food is that apart from the distance, the income is pretty good, but the freight is too far. The income in these two months alone is not less than before, and has even increased significantly."
"It seems that our decision is correct. Cutting off some unnecessary aspects will be more conducive to the development of our company."
"Yes, but President, the military commander's purchases from us have also increased a lot, especially in food, which has increased significantly. Many of us have sold to the army."
"There is no way around this. Who wants the imperial army to need it? Can we increase procurement efforts?"
"That's fine, but President, it seems that there are some restrictions on us. They don't want us to sell grain on a large scale, especially those large chambers of commerce. They control the entire Shanghai economic market, especially retail.
If we improve further, we will conflict with them."
"Have they looked for you?"
"Yes, it's really abominable. We can obviously increase our income, but we have been greatly reduced by them. Many chambers of commerce even dare not sign sales agreements with us. This is an obvious act of suppressing us. There is nothing I can do.
I went to see President Kodama, but he didn’t have a good solution either.”
Qianzhong Wuteng sighed, feeling helpless and wanting to curse.
"Well, there really aren't many good solutions to this kind of thing. After all, they have power, and we are just ordinary businessmen. I know what they want. It seems that we can only keep going!"
Zhang Tianhao also knew how much impact his large amount of imported grain had on the grain market, and even the price of grain dropped a bit.
But some people don't want him to get rich, or even hinder his development, so he really doesn't have much to do.
"By the way, we have our own warehouse, right?"
"Yes, and we only have four stores. Even if we want to open other stores, they won't allow us to open them. If we open more, someone will check us out!"
"Damn bastards, it seems that our food sales are really restricted by them. What are these people thinking? Do they think we have cut off their financial resources!"
Hearing this, Qian Chong Wu Teng also felt helpless for a while, but he didn't say much. After all, he knew that the branch presidents of their four branches were always bound to Zhang Tianhao. When Zhang Tianhao suffered, they also suffered.
"How about spreading it out? I sell it in Hangzhou, Nanjing, Tianjin, and Shanghai. I believe there will be some sales in various places. So, is there any good way for them to suppress us?"
"President, I have already reported this matter to you. Nanjing is better, but Hangzhou and Tianjin also have faint plans to suppress us."
When Zhang Tianhao heard this, he also had the urge to curse. The price of his food was low, but those people didn't allow it. It was really a headache.
"By the way, don't we have a shopping mall? We can increase the price of food and issue coupons at the same time. As long as it reaches 100 kilograms, you can give a coupon of five yuan. As long as you buy something in our shopping mall, you can directly
What do you think about the money offset?"
"Ah, President, if this is the case, they have nothing to say. After all, our prices are the same as theirs, and we have coupons, which are also returned to buyers in the form of price increases!"
"Okay, we can give it a try, but, President, how do I get this coupon?"
"Find a better printing factory to print the coupons we need. The prices are divided into one yuan, three yuan, and five yuan. At the same time, we need to stamp our special stamp. Moreover, the coupons have a time limit and must be used within one day.
I believe that paying fees after the due date can prevent some unnecessary troubles."
Zhang Tianhao thought about it and felt a little helpless. After all, these big clubs restricted them, so he could only endure it. He couldn't defeat these people in a fight.
It's just that apart from the wry smile in his heart, he didn't care much about this. After all, his purpose was to protect his identity, and that was the most important thing.
"By the way, the Army has asked us to purchase 200 tons of grain this time. The quantity is so large that I don't know what to do. Usually the quantity is only between 20-30 tons."
"When did this happen?"
"Just three hours ago, the Army needed us to provide them with 200 tons, which is almost our entire inventory."
"Where's the money? Did you give it to me?"
"There is no delay in this, but once it is given, we will not have a few tons of grain to sell."
"By the way, are there any acquisitions from other chambers of commerce?"
"No, they just bought our family, and the price was not high, and we only earned a small amount."
"Damn it, in this case, we didn't. We rejected it directly. We can provide up to thirty tons. We can't just focus on our chamber of commerce."
When Zhang Tianhao heard this, he was a little angry. He didn't expect that the army would directly target his small chamber of commerce, so he wouldn't be able to make much money here.
"President, then we..."
"Sell. In the past two days, we have sold the grain. At the same time, we have transferred all the money for the conference from the Imperial Bank and opened an account at American Citibank. Do you really think we are sure? At best, we will not do business."
