Chapter seven hundred and fourteenth in the new capital
"To obtain enough strategic materials from the Chiang Kai-shek area in the southwest, the most important thing is cotton yarn. This is the material that the other side needs most. Of course, I know that the empire also needs it, but these goods lists issued by the Kwantung Army Headquarters
, are all contraband strictly controlled by the other party, I need enough chips. Mobile version"
"In fact, if you inquire, you will know that cotton yarn and cotton cloth account for at least 60% of the smuggling trade between Huatong Trading Company and Chiang Kai-shek District," Chen Mingxiang said.
Lieutenant General Yukio Kasahara, Chief of Staff and Supply Supervisor of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, Major General Yoshitake Furuno, Chief of Staff, and Colonel Kiyohide Takada, Chief of Staff of Supply Supervision, together with Isao Takeda, held a meeting with Chen Mingxiang.
The content is naturally how much strategic materials the Kwantung Army headquarters needs and how much materials it needs to pay. This is also a very critical negotiation.
"Our headquarters is aware of the situation you mentioned. Because of the issue of cotton yarn and cotton cloth, you were squeezed out by the imperial textile merchants and had to move three textile factories from Shanghai to Suzhou. According to the construction speed, it is estimated that nine
Construction will start at the end of the month." Isao Takeda nodded and said.
The intelligence department of the Kwantung Army Headquarters naturally conducted a general investigation on Chen Mingxiang, not to mention the intelligence agency of the Manchuria Railway Investigation Department in Shanghai. Fortunately, when Lu Kunyu left, Chen Mingxiang did not have his current status, otherwise she would want to
It is very dangerous to lurk outside the customs.
"As for the issue of cotton yarn, our headquarters will allocate it. The key is that we need a lot of cotton cloth. Winter is coming, and the cotton clothes for the imperial officers and soldiers need to be implemented as soon as possible." Lieutenant General Yukio Kasahara said.
"If they are all leading muslins, the price of each piece in the Shanghai market is 10,000 yuan of China Reserve coupons. The current price of 20 cotton yarns is 6,000 yuan of China Reserve coupons. Taking into account the cost of shipping and weaving costs, I hope that the cotton yarn
The price is stable at 5,000 Zhongshu coupons per piece.”
"Let's put it this way, I gave the Kwantung Army one thousand pieces of cotton cloth, which is thirty-three thousand pieces, and you need to give me fifteen hundred pieces of twenty-count cotton yarn. This price and ratio are the greatest sincerity I can show at the moment.
." Chen Mingxiang said.
"The price Chen Jun said is indeed not exaggerated. In this way, the number of Kwantung Army plus imperial expatriates is approximately two million people. Adding part of the logistics reserve, I need at least 30,000 pieces of leading muslin every quarter. I will give them in proportion.
You have forty-five thousand pieces of twenty-count cotton yarn."
"It's September now. I've set the winter cloth for you to be completed by the end of December. There are still more than three months. All these 30,000 pieces of leading fine cloth must be shipped to Manchukuo, at least 10,000 pieces a month."
"But for the 45,000 pieces of cotton yarn we need to pay you, I will try to ship them all to the port within a month. You need cotton yarn to produce cotton cloth. This is a bit of sincerity on our part."
"Besides, I won't let you suffer any loss. All goods, including cotton yarn, are shipped from Manchukuo to the port for shipment. All costs after your goods arrive at the port will be borne by our Kwantung Army Headquarters. The following is
Let’s talk about the second cargo, which is tung oil.” Major General Yoshitake Furuno said.
Are the prices really not exaggerated?
In fact, the leading fine cloth in the Shanghai market costs RMB 8,000 in Central Reserve Certificates. Chen Mingxiang raised the price by RMB 2,000. But the price of cotton yarn per piece was RMB 7,000. He reduced it to RMB 5,000, making a net profit of RMB 2,000 per piece.
I've already earned half a piece of cotton yarn after entering and exiting.
Coupled with the ratio of one piece to one and a half pieces, Chen Mingxiang used this price to calculate the Kwantung Army. This is obviously a big deal.
What is the concept? Every time Chen Mingxiang sells a piece of leading muslin to the Kwantung Army Headquarters, he will earn a piece of cotton yarn from the Kwantung Army Headquarters!
Then again, if there is no such profit, who would do such a business?
The reason why the representatives of the Kwantung Army had no objections and still tried their best to facilitate the situation was partly due to the Kwantung Army headquarters' own needs, and partly because they knew Chen Mingxiang's difficulties.
Monopoly can indeed produce the greatest benefits, but he only gets a part of the money earned from material exchange, but all the forces with a little influence are staring at him, and their eyes will glow green.
If you want to transport goods out of Manchukuo, in addition to the secret service agencies, gendarmerie and police systems in various places, as well as the economic departments of the government, people present at the headquarters will also get a benefit.
There has never been such a thing before. The Kwantung Army Headquarters has always liked to live behind closed doors. Neither the Dispatch Army Headquarters nor the North China Front Army Headquarters in the Kwantung Army are willing to deal with the Kwantung Army. They have become the type that everyone hates.
.
Everyone knows that the Kwantung Army's cotton supply is insufficient and its strategic material reserves are insufficient. If it can exchange materials with the Kwantung Army, it will definitely produce huge benefits. Unfortunately, no one can do it.
Now that the Kwantung Army Headquarters has finally opened up the exchange channels between the north and the south, Chen Mingxiang's Huatong Trading Company has bumped into it, and no one opens their mouths. That's a strange thing!
If Chen Mingxiang wanted to do smuggling business with the Chiang Kai-shek area, he had to get permission from the Central China Military Police, the Mei Agency and the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Institute. He also had to have a good relationship with the Jinling government. It seemed to be very profitable, but in the end he failed.
What comes into his hands may be 30% of the profit.
If Chen Mingxiang is not allowed to make money, they will simply give up the job. The Kwantung Army Headquarters will not be able to do anything about him. Chen Mingxiang is not living outside the Kwantung in the first place.
"Thank you for your efforts in the exchange of materials outside the customs and in central China. I will treat you to dinner tonight. You can choose from the locals and let's relax." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
The negotiation lasted for three days. Every detail of the cooperation was discussed repeatedly, such as cotton yarn, tung oil, bristle, rosin, tungsten ore, cotton cloth, etc., one category after another was finalized, and finally a cooperation agreement was formed.
The Kwantung Army Headquarters was wealthy and had no objections to the price, but the required quantity troubled Chen Mingxiang. The demand was too much, and he couldn't hold it back, so he had to cut back part of it.
"Chen Jun is so polite. The cooperation agreement between us has been approved after reporting to the commander last night. It will be implemented in accordance with the agreed terms."
"The manager will entertain you tonight. We are landlords after all. I will send a car to pick you up at six o'clock. You will have some rest in the afternoon." Yoshitake Furuno said with a smile.
Listen, thinking of yourself as a landlord in an occupied area in a foreign country is such a shameless statement, and it also reflects Japan's wolfish ambitions.
Of course, Chen Mingxiang would not waste three days of contact time. This was also a great opportunity to close the relationship. He secretly gave Furuno Yoshitake one hundred thousand dollars, Kasahara Yukio one hundred thousand dollars, and Takada Kiyohide ten thousand dollars for the specific execution. Otherwise,
Why does the Kwantung Army Headquarters treat guests to dinner?
