"These Japanese invaders are simply inhumane. In one week, the food ration only gives each person two kilograms of rice, which is just enough to drink porridge. Do they have to let the Shanghai city starve to death?" Wang Zhen said angrily.
Walking back and forth in the living room.
Of course it is impossible for a person of Chen Mingxiang's status to lack food. The Social Affairs Bureau, the Foreign Affairs Office, the Security Headquarters, the Inspection Team, the Special Agent Headquarters, and the Public Concession Industry Bureau. From these agencies alone, he can receive several portions of rice.
!
The secret service headquarters is definitely not short of rice, nor is the Qingxiang Committee. If he wants to eat by himself, Li Shiqun can deliver a ton with just a phone call, not to mention that he can take the rations from the Japanese army, the Military Police Headquarters, and the Marine Corps Headquarters.
There is no problem with this.
Chen Mingxiang owns two Changmao rice shops in the Shanghai market. The rice they sell is extremely expensive, at black market prices. They can only operate for two to three hours a day, and they have scores of 1,35 and 2,46.
The "explanation" given to the Japanese was that these two rice stores supplied the daily food consumption of the Military Police Headquarters and Marine Corps Headquarters, and this was also true, so they were not sued.
"Will the invaders have any humanity? Otherwise, let's start tonight, you with a stick and I with a brick, to kill a Japanese devil. We can save two kilograms of rations a day, at least seven hundred kilograms a year. In a month we will fight
It's no problem if thirty people die, but how much food will be saved?" Chen Mingxiang said.
"Bah, do you talk like that? Do you know how to chat? I know it's useless to be angry, but these words made me choke. Who can I talk to if I don't talk to you?" Wang Zhen laughed angrily.
"We have just started to implement the ration-based food distribution system, and the trend will get worse and worse. It's not yet time to take some measures. Although it sounds a bit ugly, it is the truth."
"Look, people can explode with great power when driven by hunger. Unfortunately, our Military Command Bureau does not have this ability and cannot guide it," Chen Mingxiang said.
"You mean the factory workers will go on strike because of this, right?" Wang Zhen said with a smile.
"Really, don't you understand that if a girl is too smart, she won't be liked by men, and won't she be afraid that she won't find her husband?" Chen Mingxiang rolled his eyes and said.
"Go on, I can't find anyone to ask for it, so you take responsibility for me! Our military command organization will definitely look down upon something like this kind of strike, but the underground party organization has a huge advantage. Their ability in this regard is even greater.
Both the committee member and Boss Dai are afraid!"
"Wait a minute. When the temperature is about the same, I went to look for Zheng Tonghui. He may have connections with the workers' organizations of the underground party. The Japanese army consumed huge amounts of supplies during the war and counted on the factories in Shanghai to provide them with war supplies. I'm sure
Don't dare to go on a killing spree," Wang Zhen said.
This girl is really smart. She also saw the weakness of the Japanese army. It was not that they did not dare to kill, but that they could not kill. Turning the Shanghai market into a mess was obviously not in line with the intentions of the Japanese military.
As long as the workers do not smash machines and burn down factory buildings, but engage in relatively mild strikes and protests, Japanese businessmen will definitely be anxious and they will take the initiative to negotiate with the military.
"The things you think of may not be unexpected by others. Let's put it this way, if we don't contact you by then, the underground party will definitely take action. Those officials in the mountain city government look down on the workers, and the underground party treats them equally. This
The gap inside is huge." Chen Mingxiang said.
Farmers, workers and college students are the foundation for the underground party to take root. The mountain city government is composed of capitalists and warlords. Don't talk about mobilization, as long as you don't get rioted!
While the two were discussing this matter at home, the guard came to the living room to report that General Taiji Ohta from the Central China Liaison Department of Koyain came to visit.
Chen Mingxiang knew that this old devil must have come for a mission from the Japanese military department, and those Japanese textile merchants must have put pressure on Xingya Yuan.
"General, if you have any instructions, just give me a call. Why bother to go there in person? Please come in quickly!" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile to Taiji Ohta.
This is outside the door of the living room. The car can drive directly to the bottom of the steps. There is no need to meet the door. The area of the Mara Villa is a bit large.
"Chen Jun, let me tell you the truth. People from the Shanghai branch of the Japan Textile Industry Association lodged a protest with Xingya Institute through the headquarters in Japan. They think the price you gave is too low and cannot even reach the cost price. They can't
Accept and ask Huatong Trading Company to increase the price."
"The military is very dissatisfied with this matter. As you said, these imperial businessmen performed extremely poorly. They enjoyed a large number of resources and conveniences provided by the military, but fell behind when they were needed."
"But military supplies are the first priority. I have been ordered to communicate with you. The exchange of supplies with the Chiang Kai-shek area cannot be delayed. Do you have any better ideas?" Taiji Ohta said.
After entering the door, he didn't even say a polite word, and just talked about the exchange of materials. From this, it can be seen that this issue is quite urgent.
The words also revealed that the power of the Japanese chaebols is quite astonishing, and even the military has to compromise. The Central China Liaison Department of the Koya Institute received instructions from Tokyo, not only to increase the price of goods received to Japanese businessmen, but also to complete the negotiation with Chiang Kai-shek.
Ota Taiji was probably cursing in his heart about the acquisition mission of the unified district.
"Your Excellency General, our material exchange with the Shancheng government is mainly in the form of barter, and the legal currency depreciates very quickly. The price to the imperial merchants is high, and Huatong Trading Company will suffer losses. I need to
Report to General Kinoshita of the Military Police Headquarters." Chen Mingxiang said.
Most of the time, Huatong Trading Company and the Military Command Bureau used cotton yarn, tap muslin, floral gauze, rubber tires, hardware, medicine and other materials to exchange for strategic materials of the same value in the Kuomintang-controlled area. Both parties sold the goods separately, and then
If you convert it into funds, everyone will have higher profits. When you simply use money to buy goods, only a few will do it, and it depends on the actual demand.
However, with the depreciation of the legal currency, prices in the Kuomintang-controlled areas were rising. If it continued to pay high prices to Japanese businessmen, Huatong Trading Company would have no profit.
There are limits on the price for purchasing from the Kuomintang District and the price for shipping to the Shanghai market plus freight and profit. You can’t just increase the price casually. The Japanese businessman’s price for the goods is too high and Chen Mingxiang won’t buy it. The price for Chen Mingxiang’s goods is too high.
Japanese businessmen didn't accept it either.
"Don't go to General Kinoshita. I talked to him before I came here, and he firmly refused to agree. He thinks the price you gave is reasonable. If the purchase price is raised, it will harm the interests of the military."
"Chen Jun, this is my last mission for the military in China. When the Xingya Academy is abolished, I will return to the country and become a reserve."
"I hope that this matter can be completed beautifully before returning to Japan. This is very important to me. The Central China Liaison Department of Xingya Institute has some conveniences. If you have any ideas, you can put it forward and we can discuss it.
