Chapter seven hundred and eighty first it turned out to be like this
Wang Zhen ordered two hundred briquette machines. Although only part of them were produced at this time, the five briquette factories in Shanghai also have dozens of briquette machines. When the coal is fully guaranteed, if they can operate around the clock,
It can produce at least 20,000 tons of briquettes a day.
The Shanghai market alone has 600,000 dans a month, plus the 300,000 dans delivered from Jincheng, which can fully meet the Shanghai market's domestic fuel needs, and there is no need to sell coal to alleviate the dilemma.
But Chen Mingxiang didn't do this. Although the briquette factory in Shanghai worked 24 hours a day and seemed busy, more than half of the workers had nothing to do. The maximum monthly output was only 200,000 tons, which was in line with his monthly output.
Provide planning for 500,000 tons of briquettes.
How could such a result occur?
It's very simple. The briquette factory has fewer machines!
The new briquette machine was not in use in the warehouse. Only one-third of the original briquette machines were operated, and the rest were declared to be repaired. This operation made Ling Ji, the manager of the coal company, feel a little weird.
With her IQ, she was completely unable to understand Chen Mingxiang's purpose of doing this.
"Mingxiang, your actions are a bit wrong. The monthly output of all our briquette factories can fully meet the market demand. Why do you still want to use the trump card of selling coal directly? What kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?"
Ji asked.
"The price of a ton of coal is 600 yuan, which is equivalent to 30 cents per pound, and the price of briquettes is 25 yuan per load, which is equal to 25 cents per pound. But don't forget that a pound of coal can do
For one and a half kilograms of briquettes, ordinary people can make a bargain at this ratio."
"Even if I sell coal at 610 tons, I can still earn tens of millions from these tens of thousands of tons of coal. This price difference doesn't matter to me at all. If I take it, I will have uneasy conscience. I have to obey the general environment, but I can do something
It is also appropriate to make adjustments as much as possible.”
"The lives of ordinary people in Shanghai are hard enough. The workers' monthly salary is only more than 60 yuan, but they have to spend half of it to buy briquettes. As you know, the unemployment rate in Shanghai is very high. What will happen to those families who have no income?"
"To put it bluntly, the things I am doing now are going to get poked in the back by my fellow villagers. If I don't accumulate some virtue, how will I be able to meet my ancestors when I go underground?" Chen Mingxiang said.
This is his ultimate goal, and it is also because briquettes have no technical content, so he wants to let the common people make some money. If the briquette factory can achieve its goal, how can he sell coal?
Everyone's focus was on briquettes, and no one paid attention to the added value generated by coal. Therefore, Chen Mingxiang had at least two months to sell coal openly.
"It turns out that you have tricked the city government and the Japanese military agencies in Shanghai. No one can understand your move!" Renji's face was full of admiration.
She joined the coal company midway and participated in Chen Mingxiang's battle for the coal market. Chen Mingxiang continued to obtain resources from the Japanese puppets under the guise of solving the coal shortage problem. The city government and Xingya Yuan both gave subsidies and gave coal
The right to purchase and transport gives the right to sell briquettes, and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau of the Public Settlement also has coal subsidies.
In this way, Chen Mingxiang is still complaining that the production capacity is insufficient and only supplies 500,000 tons of briquettes every month. How can he calculate to this extent? What a man!
"If my tricks are easily seen through, how can I still survive? It will be November soon, and I have to go outside the customs to settle accounts with the Kwantung Army Headquarters." Chen Mingxiang said.
"I haven't been outside the customs yet, how about I go with you?" Renji hugged his arm and said with a smile.
"That's not okay. It's easy to get into trouble with you by my side. You haven't divorced yet. Pan Sansheng has been taking the blame for so many years. At least he can save some face." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
"I'm not afraid of what you will do to me!" Ren Ji said.
"I'm afraid what you will do to me, hahaha!" Chen Mingxiang smiled and walked away.
He really didn't dare to take Ling Ji on a business trip. The charm of this Gone with the Wind is not to be boasted, and he has a very unique personality. It is estimated that when he goes outside the customs, he will probably be eaten by Ling Ji!
The three textile mills worked day and night and overfulfilled their tasks. As of now, they have produced 18,000 pieces of leading muslin and have 8,000 pieces in stock, which is 26,000 pieces.
Chen Mingxiang planned to use the relationship with the Central China Liaison Department of Xingya Yuan to first transfer 4,000 pieces of cotton from the Yufeng Cotton Mill's logistics supplies to the Japanese army. He would complete the replenishment for the Japanese army by the end of November. He would first complete the transaction with the Kwantung Army Headquarters.
Finish.
After all, this was his first time doing business. He wanted the other party to see his strength and sincerity. He attached great importance to the material exchange between the two parties. On the one hand, the production of cotton cloth in the Kuomintang-controlled area required a large amount of cotton yarn. On the other hand, the Military Command Bureau needed to smuggle materials from
Get a lot of money from it.
"The matter of cotton cloth is a trivial matter. Let me tell the Thirteenth Army Headquarters that you are borrowing it temporarily for the purpose of exchanging materials with the Kwantung Army Headquarters. No one will stop it."
"His Majesty the Emperor's Imperial Council decided to formally abolish the Koga-in on November 1. The newly established Greater East Asia Province will take over the assets and affairs of each liaison department with the consulates general of each region as the main body. This handover will last about a month.
time."
"Mr. Chen, I will have to return to Japan by the beginning of December to report on my duties. From now on, I will have a military position and I will no longer have the authority to help you. If you need anything from me, please feel free to ask. I will try my best to help you before I leave."
Done." Taiji Ohta said with a smile.
At this time, he also knew his arrangement. He originally thought that when he returned to China, he would serve in a temporary position for a period of time and then transfer to the reserve force. Unexpectedly, the Military Command arranged for him to serve as the commander of the Third Southern Expedition Fleet. This meant that he was in the army.
The days will continue to go on.
"Your Excellency, General, thank you for providing me with so many resources and assistance when you were Liaison Minister in Central China. I will try to end the pricing dispute in the Shanghai stock market by early December and give you a generous gift when you return to China."
"In addition, before you leave, I will send you the last division of cotton cloth and cotton yarn, as well as the division of the last two months, equivalent to 400,000 US dollars, as soon as possible." Chen Mingxiang said.
The last time the military headquarters assigned a material exchange task to the Central China Liaison Department of Koya Institute, Taiji Ohta provided a subsidy of 50 million French currency for the cotton cloth and cotton yarn. When converted into US dollars, it was not less than 1 million.
The coal subsidy is US$600,000 per month. For two months, October and November, that is US$1.2 million. It is indeed reasonable for Taiji Ohta to receive US$400,000.
But converted to Japanese yen, this 400,000 U.S. dollars is nearly two million. According to Japanese prices, both generations can live a very wealthy life. Taiji Ohta will not have to think about money for the rest of his life.
