- >>->On November 2, the 31st year of the Republic of China, Lieutenant General Yokoyama Isamu, commander of the 11th Army of the Japanese Expeditionary Force, commanded the 3rd Division, 13th Division, 39th Division, and 6th Division
The 18th Division and the 116th Division started the Wuling Battle according to the scheduled plan. The operational objectives of the Japanese divisions provided by the Military Command Bureau to the Sixth Theater Command were accurately verified.
On November 4, Wang Jingwei, the leader of the puppet government, took Zhou Faohai and other important officials to arrive in Tokyo, Japan, on a special plane to attend the Six-Nation Conference held by Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo.
At this time, there was also a lively scene in the Shanghai market. All the cloth shops and cotton shops carried the cloth outside the door and set up long stalls. The people in the Shanghai market rushed to buy cotton cloth, with little money.
Those who have more money can buy a few feet, and those who have more money can buy a few horses.
In order to quickly dump the goods in their hands and avoid being forcibly acquired by the Japanese puppets, the bosses of the cotton shop also gritted their teeth and gave low prices. This could at least be exchanged for cash. It used to be more than ten yuan per square foot, but now it is five yuan or six yuan per square foot.
, at this price, it is much better than the purchase price.
A piece of cloth is calculated as more than 33 meters long, which is equivalent to about 100 feet. The purchase price of the Japanese puppets is 375 yuan per piece of cloth, and each foot of cloth is equal to 3.75 cents.
It's so cheating.
"Director Chen, you are the deputy secretary-general of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the deputy chief of police of the municipal government. You are entrusted by the Consulate General in Shanghai and the municipal government to assist in the compulsory purchase of cotton cloth and yarn. Now businessmen adopt this method
To engage in confrontation, I hope you can stop it in time and not let the situation worsen!" Nie Lusheng, director of the Cotton Gauze Purchase Office of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, came to the office of the police station and said.
This office was a specialized agency established to compulsorily purchase cotton cloth and yarn. Nie Lusheng was also a well-known spinning factory owner in Shanghai, with very senior qualifications. Now he sees that his peers are exploiting loopholes and disrupting the work of the office.
He was worried about being blamed by the Japanese, so he ran to Chen Mingxiang.
"Director Nie, my police station is only responsible for enforcing the decrees that have been issued. I can't do whatever I want. I have received the official document. When will measures be taken against the cotton merchants? I will see you with your head down.
You can't push me into the fire pit!" Chen Mingxiang said while holding a cigarette in his mouth.
"You still don't know the efficiency of the people in the Jinling government. Chairman Wang went to Japan for a meeting, and Minister Zhou Fahai also went there. There was no one to preside over the meeting. Chairman Wang even brought him back and held the meeting. In the blink of an eye, it took a week.
There are 259 cloth shops in the city, which produce thousands of pieces of cloth a day, and the number of cotton cloths reported is only more than 27,000 pieces, and the change is gone in the blink of an eye!" Nie Lusheng became anxious.
"If the sky falls, there will be a tall person holding it up. Why are you anxious? This is a mistake made by Jinling. What does it have to do with us? If there is a problem, you will not be found. Go back to the office and have a big tea. When
After downloading the document, come see me again when you can!" Chen Mingxiang said calmly.
Nie Lusheng did not dare to dwell on this matter anymore. He knew that Huatong Trading Company was also secretly purchasing cotton cloth, and at a high price. In fact, Chen Mingxiang did not deliberately conceal his intentions. He just wanted to take the opportunity to hoard cotton cloth without fear of anyone knowing.
Faced with such an aboveboard sabotage of compulsory acquisition, neither the municipal government nor the Consulate General in Shanghai pretended to see it, and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry naturally did not dare to interfere with Chen Mingxiang's affairs.
"Director Chen, I have a small matter coming to you this time. A friend of mine has entrusted me with the task of privately selling a batch of cotton cloth and cotton yarn to Huatong Trading Company. The quantity is one thousand pieces each."
"The price he asks is not high, 15,000 yuan for each piece of 20-count cotton yarn, and 12,000 yuan for each piece of leading fine cloth. I hope to meet you. What do you mean?" Nie Lusheng said.
"For such an order, he has to meet with me for an interview. There is no need. Let him contact the people at Huatong Trading Company directly, send the goods to the warehouse for inspection, and then go to the finance department to get the money directly. I'm afraid your friend's goods are not
Are they goods from normal channels?" Chen Mingxiang said.
Huatong Trading Company is open to acquisitions. It is not afraid that you will ask for money, but is afraid that you will run out of goods. It has always maintained a good reputation. Under such circumstances, this person still wants to interview him. There must be a reason.
But Chen Mingxiang's current status is not something anyone can see. Two thousand pieces of goods would have been valued by Huatong Trading Company when it first opened. Now, an ordinary salesman can handle it.
There is absolutely no problem with problem money.
In fact, Chen Mingxiang just smelled it with his nose and knew that this batch of goods must be from the Shanghai Suburban Intelligence Station. It was slowly acquired through the Qinggang relationship. The bureau headquarters had already sent a message to the police about this.
Pan Qiwu was also worried that he did not have the overall picture, so he specifically pointed out this matter. As long as the goods are transported to the Kuomintang-controlled areas, the direct-affiliated station will provide assistance. Cotton cloth and cotton yarn are the most in demand goods. The Military Command Bureau cannot give up this huge benefit. Special coupons
and smuggling are the two main sources of funds.
If you want to be a qualified Category A webmaster, you have to clearly understand the stakes. He helps to sell goods, he also makes good profits, and he can also leave a good impression. Boss Dai has given so many privileges to the direct-affiliated website, and he is also very kind to him.
Don't hesitate to cultivate, you must show a broad mind, anyway, there is no loss.
"You are right. These goods were hoarded privately by my friend. He meant that they must go to the Kuomintang-controlled area. If they flow to other places, once they are discovered by the Japanese, things will be very troublesome later." Nie Lusheng
said.
Obviously, his friend also knew that the quantity of this order was too small and he might not be able to see Chen Mingxiang, so he made his request known in advance.
This reason is not wrong. Chen Mingxiang's business is wholesale rather than retail. No matter which city in the enemy-occupied area, a sudden influx of so many goods will probably attract attention immediately.
Chen Mingxiang is not worried about the Japanese being held accountable, but the problem is that the selling party is worried! Maybe this matter will involve other things!
"I'm missing. You tell him that the goods should be put into the warehouse normally and the full payment will be taken. Huatong Trading Company's goods always go to the Kuomintang-controlled area. The prices there are high and I get the greatest benefit. Only fools will take the goods."
Digest it elsewhere." Chen Mingxiang said.
He didn't want to have anything to do with the people at the Shanghai Suburban Intelligence Station, but he actually dared to extend his hand into his own territory. Did he really think that all his enemies were losers?
This is not because the Shanghai Suburban Intelligence Station is reaching out randomly, but because of his own safety considerations. It only involves goods, and no one can do anything to him. If the military commander is involved, it may have a negative impact on his "image"
