Chapter six hundred and eighty seventh points benefits
"I will return to Shanghai tomorrow, pack up and go outside the customs as soon as possible. I will leave the issues regarding the briquette factory and salt field to you. Manager Sun, you have been engaged in import and export trade for 20 years in a British company.
I believe this matter will not be difficult for you." Chen Mingxiang said.
Jincheng Port, or the entire Jincheng area, is the core lifeline of the commercial network in North China and the top priority of the Peking Branch. It is not only responsible for the coal and salt affairs, but also responsible for transporting materials from Jincheng.
, to import materials from Central China into Jincheng, and most of the goods from North China must be exported from Jincheng Port to Central China.
Chen Mingxiang carefully considered the choice of Sun Dingxin, who had been a senior manager in a foreign bank for many years, to set up the office. For this reason, he offered a high salary of 600,000 yuan per year in China Reserve Bonds.
The monthly salary of workers in Shanghai is only more than 60 yuan and less than 70 yuan. Sun Dingxin alone is equal to the total monthly salary of 10,000 workers. This salary is not bad.
"Boss, you have only been in the Pingjin area for a few days, so you left a little hastily, right?" Sun Dingxin said in confusion.
With such a huge business volume in North China, I simply walked around Pingjin and Tianjin, and then returned to Shanghai. Is it wrong?
"You can't bite off more than you can chew. It will take at least two or three months for your Peking branch to sort out Pingjin and Tianjin first. The entire gendarmerie system in North China has no obstacles. The gendarmerie in Peiping and Jincheng have full support. Xingya
I have also obtained the cargo handling permit from the North China Liaison Department of the hospital, and I have also told you the general direction of the company. Do you still want me to keep an eye on your work?"
"I still have a branch in Xinjing. As a boss, you can't favor one another. If you keep an eye on the briquette production, I will come back in mid-September. If you can't get results by then, we will have to settle the score. Second
One hundred thousand loads of briquettes, not even one load less."
"Also, your office cannot discount the rules I set for the briquette factory. They must be implemented to the letter. If I find that you have gone astray, see how I deal with you." Chen Mingxiang said.
"Businessmen in every place are very careful about their own territory. The business of our Peking branch will definitely conflict with them. Driven by interests, we may use some extraordinary methods." Sun Dingxin said.
This is the value of an expert. Every step must be carefully considered. The office has not yet opened, so first consider the conflicts between local businessmen and foreign businessmen.
Coal, cotton and salt are the most scarce materials in the occupied areas. No matter how greedy the Japanese army is, they will not monopolize the entire industry. Some people must be allowed to participate.
Japan needs coal, and the people in North China also need coal in their daily lives. The same goes for cotton and salt. The intention of the Japanese imperialist government is to turn China into their colony and logistics supply base. Therefore, at this stage, it will not
The local people were forced to survive, and there were no signs of failure in the Pacific War.
The businessmen who were able to get permission from the Japanese army to do this kind of business were definitely not ordinary people. They were either traitors or related to traitors. They were not good men and women, and it was not surprising at all that they used dirty tricks.
"I'm afraid that if they don't have the guts to do something like this, it will cause a major reshuffle of the industry here. Just in the North China Liaison Department and the North China Dispatch Gendarmerie Headquarters, I spent dozens of dollars in the past three days.
Ten thousand dollars in cash, do you think I have so much money that I have no place to put it?”
"The Jincheng Gendarmerie will send a gendarmerie class to the briquette factory. Each person is given a monthly subsidy of 500 yuan. I forgot. If you set up a small stove in the briquette factory and hire a chef from the Japanese Concession, they will
For those who eat here, set up a lounge and buy a few sets of sofas and coffee tables to put them in. Tea and cigarettes cannot be interrupted, since we have plenty at home anyway," Chen Mingxiang said.
The main commodities entering North China include tea and cigarettes. For tea, there are two stable sources of supply in Suzhou and Hangzhou. Although cigarettes are a bit tight, there is no problem in producing a few boxes every month.
This situation can be greatly alleviated when the cigarette factories in Anhui Province are put into operation. The Luzhou Purchasing Station in Anhui Province is building a cigarette factory in Qiaocheng to directly purchase Xuchang tobacco leaves, which will become the main production area for export.
Why is he in a hurry to return to the Shanghai stock market?
Qingqi Qingyin gave him two important pieces of information. The Sulu war zone and the underground party base area of the Shancheng government were about to be raided. This was a major event related to the lives and deaths of thousands of people. His job was to collect intelligence and make money.
It is secondary and only an auxiliary means.
On the morning of the third day after arriving in Jincheng, Chen Mingxiang returned to Shanghai on a Japanese Army transport plane. Naohiro Murano, captain of the Jincheng Military Police, went to the airport to see him off. Two and a half hours later, Chen Mingxiang's plane landed at the Hongqiao Military Airport.
The car of the Military Police Headquarters was already waiting at the airport, and Colonel Tanaka of the General Affairs Section came to greet him personally. Chen Mingxiang had opened up new financial resources in coal, and the Military Police Headquarters had increased his income. Of course, he was happy to go to the airport to greet the God of Wealth.
"Tanaka-kun, just call and ask the company's driver to pick me up. I'm sorry that I bother you to pick me up in person!" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
The Tianjin Gendarmerie had radio contact with the Shanghai Gendarmerie Headquarters and informed them of the approximate time of Chen Mingxiang's arrival at Hongqiao Airport. In fact, the wait did not take long, just over half an hour.
"General Kinoshita is very concerned about your activities in Beijing and Tianjin, especially regarding coal. He is waiting for you at the headquarters. Don't go home yet. Let's have lunch together." Colonel Tanaka said.
I won’t say why I pay attention to it. Anyway, the Military Police Headquarters will always occupy a certain share. No matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat, not to mention that this is a long-term benefit.
Arriving at the Gendarmerie Headquarters, Chen Mingxiang gave a detailed report on his activities in North China, especially the transactions with the North China Dispatch Gendarmerie Headquarters.
"If I want to lower the price of briquettes from 30 yuan per quintal to 25 yuan per quintal, I must earn a profit of 5 yuan per quintal for the downstream. Adding costs and expenses, it is equal to equal input and equal output.
"
"The city government subsidizes me 200 yuan per ton of China Reserve Bonds. The quota of 10,000 tons is 2 million. This is all the current profits. The specific distribution is between our Gendarmerie Headquarters, the North China Dispatch Gendarmerie Headquarters and the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
Each of the yamen has a 20% share, and each of them can get about 400,000 China Reserve Certificates."
"The remaining 40,800,000 yuan will be included in the investment in building a briquette factory in Jincheng, buying machinery, and setting up a briquette shop in Shanghai. If I want to make money, I have to wait until the price returns to 30 yuan per quintal next year, at least
