After the first business was successfully completed, more business came soon after. In addition to cotton yarn, many customers in the Kuomintang District ordered a variety of goods from Huatong Trading Company, including flour, sugar, cooking oil, and hardware.
There are more than 20 kinds of tools, paints, inks, papers, etc.
What Huatong Trading Company has to do is to place orders with merchants in the Shanghai stock market, assist with raw materials and transportation issues in production, earn the price difference, and achieve the ultimate goal of profit without capital.
In one month, Chen Mingxiang made a profit of more than 400,000 French currency from trade, and the number of transactions was not even half completed. This shows how much wealth the Japanese plundered from the Shanghai stock market.
Two hundred and one hundred thousand French currency is converted into seventy small yellow croakers. Although it is less than the ransom Chen Mingxiang got from the Shanghai rich last time, that kind of thing is just an example. This kind of money that flows in a steady stream is more important to the Military Police Headquarters and the
Extraordinary courses are valued.
"Chen Sang, your talent in business is beyond my expectation. In such a short time, Huatong Trading Company is on the right track and has a good start. This also shows your ability and value, Commander of the Gendarmerie
The Ministry and the Special Higher Education Department will strengthen their support for you."
"You do have to make money, but you must not forget your responsibilities, sort out the business community in Shanghai, and establish good personal relationships with businessmen in Jiang Tong District, so as to get the economic situation of your opponents. But there is no rush in this matter. After all, the company has just started.
It’s not too late to wait until the situation stabilizes.” Major Okamura said with a smile.
Now that there is a harvest, Chen Mingxiang naturally wants to invite Major Okamura to a banquet to share the dividends, or to divide the spoils. Captain Tsukamoto, Second Lieutenant Nakajima and Warrant Officer Shibuya all came. They felt very happy when they saw the thick bundle of twenty-one French coins in front of them.
Pleasure.
It is not difficult to make a profit when doing business with the privilege of exempting yourself from inspection. However, it is purely a reflection of personal ability to be able to get such a huge harvest at the initial stage.
It is true that businessmen pursue profit, but businessmen will not trust someone casually. According to the speculation of the special high school, it will take Chen Mingxiang at least three months or half a year to reach the current level.
He was able to open up the situation so quickly and contact businessmen in Chiang Kai-shek's district, even though he relied on connections from his classmates' families. This was also a skill.
How did the Japanese know that most of these businessmen were arranged by the military commander? Boss Dai supported Chunfeng very strongly and could easily conceal Chunfeng's identity.
The Kuomintang-controlled area suffered from the economic blockade of the Japanese puppets and lacked a large amount of production and living materials. Since Huatong Trading Company can do this, all trade becomes a legitimate reason.
"Section Chief Gangcun, how do you distribute the dividends to the special agent headquarters?" Chen Mingxiang asked.
"We'll wait until next year when Mr. Wang's new government is established and the Yanjing Mansion cuts costs. There's no need to take out a separate piece for now. You can just operate according to the original proportion." Major Gangcun said.
Seeing real banknotes is indeed different from what you imagined. The thought of paying dividends to the secret service headquarters makes several people in the special high school feel toothache. Who is willing to push the money away?
"Huatong Trading Company made a profit in the month it opened. This achievement makes the Special Higher Education Department very satisfied. Section Chief Gangcun specially praised you. During the meeting yesterday, Director Zhou also talked about the problem of the inspection team, but for you
That’s good news.”
"When the new government is established, material control will be a very important task. Mr. Wang also hopes to transfer this power to the new government. He is currently communicating with the Japanese side. As long as he can achieve results, it is not impossible to enter the new government and hold important positions. "
"If you have any matters in the future, please report directly to me. The contact between the Secret Service Headquarters and the Concession Industry Bureau Police Station must be completed by you. Your Excellency Akagi appreciates you more. He specifically mentioned you last time. If I don't have time, you can Go to the Ministry of Industry Bureau Police Station to go through the formalities on my behalf," Li Shiqun said.
For Chen Mingxiang, this was an unexpected blessing. At least he could get the list of prisoners in advance, giving the military commander time for rescue.
He didn't know that because he was busy doing business during this period and did not go to work at the secret service headquarters, Li Shiqun took his translator Shen Gengmei to the Ministry of Industry Bureau Police Station, but received a cold reception from Chimu.
The majestic secret service headquarters, with so much money from the Japanese government, can't even find a decent translator. As the deputy director, the translators and secretaries around you are dressed like prostitutes. You are making a fool of yourself, but you are still... To embarrass the Japanese Empire, is it so difficult to find a serious translator?
"Director, you also know the actual situation of this company. All aspects need to be managed. We really can't get more dividends. I hope the director will accept this." Chen Mingxiang came to Ding Mocun immediately.
No matter how much he said, it would not be as beneficial as the 40,000 legal currency. For the sake of future long-term battles, it was necessary for him to make friends with Ding Mo Village.
This guy is so afraid of death that he actually has eight bodyguards at home to take care of security, and there are police patrols around, otherwise he could be doing harm to the people.
"I understand your difficulties, and I'm very happy that you can still think of me at this time. You also know the current situation. I have duties but no authority, and I can't help you much."
"You work hard. After the new government is established next year, if you are willing to go to Jinling, I can help you arrange a good position, but it may not be more beneficial than now." Ding Mocun said with a smile.
Huatong Trading Company is now covered by the Military Police Headquarters and the Super High School, and has special access rights. Under the current general environment, it must have a lot of money. When it reaches the high-level department, there are connected households everywhere. It is really not as good as It's better to stay in Shanghai.
"Director, there is a person outside who says he works in the Police Department of the Ministry of Interior, named Chen Chenglun, asking for an interview. He said he was under the instructions of Mr. Wang." The bodyguard came in and reported.
"Since you have work to deal with, I won't interrupt you and will visit you another day." Chen Mingxiang hurriedly stood up and left.
"I won't keep you here today. If you have anything to do in the future, you can come to me directly. Before the establishment of the new government, I was still the director of the secret service headquarters." Ding Mocun not only got up this time, but also made an exception and sent him to the door of the living room. The face given is indeed not small.
This guy was sneaky, looking at Chen Mingxiang with evasive eyes, and even deliberately lowered his head, which was a sign of guilty conscience.
Even though he had only met this person named Chen Chenglun, Chen Mingxiang had already firmly remembered his appearance and characteristics in his mind. This is also a necessary ability for an agent.
But on the way home, I carefully recalled the information on Japanese traitors and traitors in Shanghai provided by the Military Command Bureau, and I had never seen such a number one person on the list. I guessed that he was just a little guy.
However, Chen Mingxiang became very interested in Chen Chenglun. This guy came to Ding Mo Village at night on the instructions of the traitor Wang. It is worth thinking about what is hidden behind this matter.
