Seven hundred and fiftieth chapters waiting for the opportunity one

Fengchang Textile Factory, Maoyuan Textile Factory and Chenghai Textile Factory started operations normally under Chen Mingxiang's protection when he founded Huatong Trading Company. Except for the relocation period, the machines were never stopped at all.
More than 10,000 workers are carefully selected skilled workers. After the fall of the Shanghai stock market, the most indispensable thing is workers. The pressure of competition is also very high, and technology almost destroys one's own job.
Even though the textile factory moved from Shanghai to Suzhou, there were many textile workers who wanted to work there. The pay and benefits here were high and they could go home four times a month. Finding such a job during the war was already a dream.
Woke up laughing.
When the textile factory was relocated, with the support of the Military Police Headquarters, a large number of machines were dismantled from the British and American textile factories, and the production capacity was greatly improved. In addition, in terms of water and electricity, the resources of the Suzhou Municipal Government were tilted. As long as the raw materials can be supplied
If it works, there is no need to worry about the output.
"I have never worried about textile factories running out of orders. Right now, whether it is the Kuomintang-controlled areas or occupied areas, there is a shortage of cotton cloth everywhere. Because of the war, the output of textile factories is far below demand, but this is a necessity of life, and business opportunities are
unlimited."
"The biggest worry still comes from the insufficient supply of cotton yarn and cotton. As you know, the power to purchase cotton in the occupied areas is in the hands of Japanese textile merchants. This is an important controlled material and an economic plunder policy of the Japanese government."
"It doesn't matter if it's just a small fuss, but the daily consumption of three large textile factories is extremely alarming. My large-scale purchase of cotton in cotton-producing areas will inevitably cause a strong backlash from the Japanese Textile Industry Association. The textile factory will be relocated from Shanghai to
Suzhou, isn’t that the reason?”
"Fortunately, I have reached a material exchange cooperation with the Kwantung Army Headquarters this time, and I can transport cotton yarn from outside the Kwantung Army to Suzhou, otherwise I would be really panicked."
"Think about it, more than 10,000 workers are counting on me to bring them income, and behind that, there may be more than 10,000 families and tens of thousands of people with living security, which is a heavy burden!" Chen Mingxiang said.
Ninety-nine percent of the workers in the textile factory are female workers. This is also a characteristic of this industry. If not to support their families, who would be willing to follow them from Shanghai to Suzhou?
Chen Mingxiang believes that since he has brought these workers to Suzhou, he has the responsibility to ensure that they can maintain the most basic survival needs, at least not starve to death, not freeze to death, and barely survive. Therefore, within the scope of his ability, he provides as much as possible
Welfare.
"The workers are very satisfied with the current environment. There is no extortion by gangsters or bullying by Japanese puppets. The monthly salary in Shanghai is more than 60 yuan of China Reserve Certificates. We have doubled it. Especially in the canteen, rice is basically
It’s free.”
"By the way, I have to tell you something. The price of rice in Suzhou is much cheaper than that in the Shanghai market. In the Shanghai market, it is 600 yuan per shi rice, while in Suzhou it is only more than 200 yuan per shi rice. Everyone wants to buy some for their families.
Cheap rice.”
"However, the Japanese have a very strict blockade of the Shanghai market. If you are found to be carrying rice without permission, you will be confiscated and punished. Although this matter is not big, it is very important." Zhou Haiwen said.
Shanghai is a metropolis, so prices are naturally ridiculously high. The key is that the Japanese control the grain-producing areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang very tightly. The rice is either robbed to Japan or purchased at low prices as military rations. The food in Shanghai is restricted and the supply
The quantity is decreasing day by day, and the price will definitely rise.
However, the price of rice in Jiangsu Province is not as high as that in the Shanghai market, at least three times lower. The workers want to use the price difference between the two places to buy some rice and bring it back to the Shanghai market.
"This matter is easy to handle. I just need to say hello to the Military Police Headquarters. Everyone who goes home must take the factory car. Who dares to stop and inspect my car in Shanghai?"
"Let me tell you good news. In the name of the provincial government supporting local enterprises, Li Shiqun will provide us with 150 tons of broken rice every month, basically guaranteeing a subsidy of one kilogram of rice per person per day. They can all save these
bring home."
"The Qingxiang Committee plundered a lot of food in Jiangsu Province. As the provincial chairman, Li Shiqun also has a lot of resources. I will discuss with him to buy low-priced food every month for my textile factory, silk weaving factory, and silk reeling factory.
, tea factories, etc., canteens continue to maintain the quota of free rice, and an additional 30 kilograms of broken rice per person."
"In addition, the cotton plundered by the Qingxiang Committee in Jiangsu Province will also be supplied to us. The price can be said to be very affordable, only 60 yuan per bag. I will finalize this matter this afternoon and transport the cotton back for spinning as soon as possible.
Into cotton yarn." Chen Mingxiang said.
"I have shipped the tea and silk needed outside the customs to Yingkou Port. It is not easy. The silk reeling factory, silk weaving factory and tea factory are all worried about sales problems. The silk and tea we produce are now high-end
Regarding consumer goods, I am finally relieved this time." Zhou Haiwen said.
Silk was not meant for ordinary people to wear. From its birth to now, it has been a high-end luxury product. If it were the Ming Dynasty, even businessmen would not be qualified to wear silk and satin. This is a symbol of status.
As for tea, due to the impact of the war, the price has been falling for a long time. Tea merchants and tea farmers have gone bankrupt, resulting in a lack of supply on the market and a sudden rise in prices. Everyone knows that Hangzhou Longjing tea is top quality, but there is no place to buy it!
That is to say, Chen Mingxiang has such channels and a network of relationships all over the country. He controls a huge commercial fleet that can be transported to various places for sale. Speaking of which, he has made a lot of contributions to the tea farmers in Central China.
"The group of people who were spied on you outside the Mega Club last time and were arrested by the gendarmerie were the subordinates of Nariko Kojima, right?" Li Shiqun held a special banquet for Chen Mingxiang at the most luxurious restaurant in Suzhou at noon.
This is the God of Wealth who can bring him 5 million in China Reserve Certificates every month, plus the long-term profits from the sale of salt, he deserves to be treated with the highest standards.
In addition to the benefits brought by his two positions as provincial chairman and secretary-general of the Qingxiang Committee, the dividends given by Chen Mingxiang are his largest financial source, and they are so much that he simply cannot resist.
Other income also needs to support the secret service headquarters and manage relationships. Although he occupies the majority, he cannot keep it all to himself, and Chen Mingxiang's money can be put into his own pocket.
"Other than this female spy who is like a mad dog, who else dares to spy on me so arrogantly in Shanghai? She probably just came to central China to serve as the head of the intelligence department of the Mei Agency. She urgently needs bright spots and achievements to stabilize her position, and
The chosen breakthrough point is the Military Command agent lurking in the secret service headquarters codenamed Chunfeng."
"I have been working in the Secret Service Headquarters and the Military Police Headquarters in Shanghai, and I have frequent contacts with the major Japanese military agencies in Shanghai. I have all the possible conditions. Therefore, I have become a key target of suspicion. She will not give up until she achieves her goal.
.”
"I came to Suzhou this time because I didn't want to have any conflicts with her anymore. I felt like I couldn't bear it any longer," Chen Mingxiang said.ntent
