Chapter seven hundred and fifteenth new capital trip
Although Chen Mingxiang is distressed that his foreign exchange is flowing out rapidly, what he likes is not the money itself. He has always believed that money is just a tool and means for trading. Spending it where it should be spent and using money to make money is the most correct approach.
.
Yoshitake Furuno and Yukio Kasahara are both the main persons in charge of logistics at the Kwantung Army Headquarters. Yoshitake Furuno, the manager, controls the quantity of goods transactions, and Yukio Kasahara, the chief of staff, controls the allocation. Of course, such a value can match one hundred thousand
Dollar.
As for Takada Kiyohide, he is the chief of staff of the supply supervisor and the person in charge of specific business. Sometimes he can increase the purchase or output of goods by making subtle remarks. Ten thousand US dollars is more appropriate.
"Boss, because tea and silk from the south of the Yangtze River are very popular here in Xinjing, they have become a hot commodity locally. Our Xinjing branch has made adjustments to the original plan."
"At present, the store group has found suitable locations in four cities: Xinjing, Fengtian, Bingcheng and Bincheng. Xinjing's Yuanhexiang Silk Shop and Baoshengyuan Tea Shop are the most prosperous ones on Main Street.
The area is not far from the branch office, and the silk shops and tea houses in the remaining three cities are under preparation. This is the number of eight."
"But we did not anticipate enough sales here. As the Japanese military transport planes brought too few goods, they were sold out after a trial sales operation. The headquarters needs to solve the transportation problem of the goods." Xinjing branch.
The company's manager Luo Qinglin said.
After the negotiation, Chen Mingxiang did not return to his house in Xinjing to rest. He did not come outside the customs too many times and had no time to rest at all, so he came to the Xinjing branch to inspect the work, mainly to arrange the subsequent material exchange tasks.
.
The Xinjing branch is located in the most prosperous area of Main Street. Luo Qinglin and others rented it themselves. If the current situation changes, Chen Mingxiang can directly ask the Kwantung Army Headquarters to arrange a location.
When the Japanese military transport plane arrived in Shanghai to pick up people, it also brought some silk and tea with it. They were originally intended to be used as displays and samples, but Luo Qinglin, the branch manager, felt that he wanted to test the market's acceptance and see whether the areas outside the customs would like Jiangnan.
Wu products, we held a short-term product trial sale. Unexpectedly, the effect was very good, and we were caught off guard.
"I have reached a cooperation agreement with the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and have also contacted the top officials of the Manchukuo secret service, gendarmerie and police. In the future, transportation will be smooth."
"I will have dinner with the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army in the evening. I will apply to the headquarters for four radio equipment to be placed in four cities. Tomorrow, I will use the Kwantung Army's transport plane to pick up the radio operators from Shanghai. I will second one from the headquarters first, and follow up at least
Eight people should be on duty in turns."
"The Xinjing Branch first contacted the Peking Branch, which has been equipped with radio stations and operators. The codebook used the unified commercial codebook of the Special High School Section of the Military Police Headquarters in Shanghai, and was transferred from the Peking Branch to Su from Fenghua Company.
The continental office sends tea and silk from Zhenjiang, you can judge the specific quantity by yourself." Chen Mingxiang said.
Now that a cooperative relationship has been reached, the establishment of a radio station by Huatong Trading Company is no longer a problem for the Kwantung Army Headquarters. This is also an important step for Chen Mingxiang to expand his intelligence network. Without a radio station, how can outsiders communicate with the Kwantung Army?
However, considering that there was a distance between Guanwai and Shanghai, there were problems with radio signal reception, so he simply used the radio station of the Peiping branch as a relay station, and even planned to build several more relay stations in the future, which he invested in developing his own business.
It is very important.
"No wonder there are police and Japanese military police patrolling in front of our branch and two stores, and we don't go in. It turns out that you are connected with so many important departments, especially the Kwantung Army Headquarters, who is the Supreme Emperor in Manchukuo!
"
"Boss, the currency of Manchukuo and the currency of the Jinling government are not interchangeable. The start-up capital we brought was China Reserve Bonds. The Bank of Manchukuo has regulations on currency exchange. There is currently a lack of exchange channels for large sums of Manchukuo yuan." Deputy Manager Zhou Tongmin said.
.
This is about the currency of the Puppet Manchukuo. The Puppet Manchukuo currency is the Puppet Manchukuo Yuan. It is the currency issued by the Central Bank of the Puppet Manchukuo. It is equivalent to the Japanese yen, that is, one yen can be exchanged for one Manchuria dollar.
Like the joint bank notes in North China, they both belong to the Japanese yen system. However, both of them are tools used by the Japanese army to plunder China's wealth. They are crudely made and printed casually, and of course they do not have the value of the Japanese yen.
China Reserve Bonds can be exchanged for 180 Puppet Manchukuo Dollars at the exchange rate of 100 for 18 Puppet Manchukuo Dollars. The currency value of the Puppet Manchukuo Dollars is much higher. However, the China Reserve Bonds of the China Reserve Bank of the Jinling Government in the Pass cannot be used in the Puppet Manchukuo State and must be exchanged for Manchuria Dollars.
Only if the country is harmonious.
"It's not a problem. Tomorrow I will meet with Lieutenant General Yasunao Yoshioka, the imperial minister, and Rokuzo Takebe, the director-general of the State Council of Manchukuo. The latter only needs to say hello to the bank and exchange some Manchukuo dollars. It is just a trivial matter.
." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
This powerful network of relationships shocked the subordinates of the branch. Although they had not been outside the customs for a long time, their excellent business skills had already obtained a lot of information. Both of them were heavyweights in Manchukuo.
.
The boss's network of connections was built so quickly that they never imagined that when they first came to Guanwai, they had never heard that there were so many backers in Manchukuo. In just a short time, they actually managed to clear the Kwantung Army headquarters.
alright.
"Boss, are you going to do business with the Kwantung Army Headquarters?" Luo Qinglin asked.
The Kwantung Army Headquarters would not establish contact with Chen Mingxiang for no reason. Huatong Trading Company was only the main smuggling agency of the military in central China. It had not had any business dealings before. If they suddenly started contacting him, there must be something going on.
"You are right. Not only is it a business, but it is also a big deal that you can't even imagine. There will be a lot of work for the Xinjing Branch in the future. This is the list of transactions between me and the Kwantung Army Headquarters this year. Please make a backup
, prepare to carry out this mission."
"In fact, the monthly transaction volume is basically around 150 million Chinese reserve bonds. The only trouble is that the two parties adopt the method of material exchange. Only a very small amount of scarce goods will involve the use of US dollar gold.
Pay.”
"From now on, the focus of the branch's work will shift to this aspect. You will represent me to implement the terms of these agreements and seize the time to contact relevant departments. The freighters will dock at Yingkou Port and Bincheng Port and transport them to designated destinations respectively.
place to receive.”
"You don't have much to do. When the goods arrive at the port, check the goods with the representatives of the Kwantung Army Headquarters and complete the handover procedures. At the same time, you must also check the goods shipped from the port to Shanghai. You do not need to control the transportation within Manchukuo.
