Li Shiqun naturally supports Chen Mingxiang's request to purchase rice and coarse grains. Rice is priced at 300 yuan for one stone of central reserve coupons, and coarse grains are priced at 200 yuan for one stone of central reserve coupons. In Jiangsu Province, the price may not be low, but for
It's very cheap compared to the Shanghai stock market.
At this time, Chen Mingxiang's relationship network with the Japanese and puppets was so strong that even Li Shiqun needed help. In order to continue to rely on his power in the future, this small amount of food was nothing at all.
If someone else were to purchase grain, even if it was Chen Gongbo himself, even if it was for disaster relief, he would never get this price. The disaster in the Shanghai stock market has nothing to do with Li Shiqun. It would be strange if he didn't double the price!
Chen Mingxiang purchased the relief grains for 20,000 people. This was the statistics from the police station. They were basically homeless victims with no roof over their heads and no place to stand on. They were likely to starve to death at any time.
The standard of one pound of stick noodles per person per day is barely enough to eat steamed buns, which is equivalent to consuming ten tons a day. The relief period is forty-five days, and 450 tons of stick noodles have been prepared, with each ton worth 4,000 yuan of China Reserve Certificates
, for this, he paid 1.8 million yuan in China Reserve Certificates.
There are more than 7,000 British and American expatriates in the public settlement, and the normal monthly supply of 105 tons of mixed grains is constant. During the Chinese New Year, he gave an extra month of mixed grains. It would be good to have something to eat at this time. I believe that I will only gain gratitude.
The fee he charged for fifty tons of broken rice, twenty tons of rice, five tons of flour and thirty tons of cornmeal noodles was US$65,000, equivalent to six hundred yuan per stone. However, when he bought it from Li Shiqun, it was all rice.
It's only half the cost, so it's a free month if you don't make any money.
"In accordance with your instructions, I have to send money and things to several special officers of the Kiyosato Committee every month. Shigeto Nobumi is responsible for 300,000 yuan in reserve coupons every month, and Kaneji Shunji and Ogasawara Kiyoshi are each 100,000 in reserve coupons.
Certificates, Nakajima Shinichi and Wakamatsu Shigehei from Hangzhou also have 100,000 China Reserve Certificates.”
"Now they are very familiar with me, and the properties in Suzhou and Hangzhou are also protected by the military police and the police. You can rest assured." Zhou Haiwen said with a smile while drinking tea.
This is Chen Mingxiang's residence in Suzhou, which was given as a gift by Li Shiqun. Although it cannot be compared with Tianxiang Xiaozhu, it is still a large residence and a garden-style building.
Chen Mingxiang was busy with work and could not stay in Suzhou and Hangzhou for a long time. Therefore, he gave Zhou Haiwen the responsibility for some easy-to-handle matters. This was a means of protecting him.
Lieutenant Colonel Toshiharu Kaneji, head of the Kiyogo Committee's Economic Special Agency, Colonel Norifumu Shigeto, chief of the military police station of the Kiyosato Committee, Major Sergeant Kiyoshi Ogasawara, chief of staff of the Second Section of the Japan Dispatch Force Headquarters, Nakajima, chief of the Hangzhou branch of the Ume Agency
Lieutenant Shinichi and Lieutenant Colonel Shigehei Wakamatsu, the captain of the Hangzhou Military Police, may not be Japanese generals, but they are both characters with real power.
Zhou Haiwen has had more contact with them, and no one dares to doubt him easily, let alone investigate. Even if there are some vague clues, the agents just pretend that they have not discovered it.
"I specially called you here from Hangzhou this time to remind you that you need to be more careful in the future. For these Japanese officers, your transportation of materials to Kuomintang-controlled areas and transportation to underground party bases are completely different in nature.
, the way of treatment is two extremes."
"Recently, your behavior has gone a bit too far. You have purchased large quantities of paper, dyes, paints, sucrose, soap, matches, hardware tools, scrap steel and iron products in the Shanghai market. You have also collected large quantities of grain from profiteers in Su, Xichang, and then used the company's name to do so.
Flags are shipped directly to southern Jiangsu and northern Jiangsu."
"It doesn't matter whether the supplies are controlled or not, but there is a problem with your transportation method. How can you allow the convoy to unload the goods around the base? Do you think that the intelligence departments of the Japanese and Jinling governments do not exist, or do you think that I, an old classmate, am idle and uncomfortable?
, do you have to find something for me to do?"
"Don't think that you will take it lightly because you have become familiar with them through my relationship. These people from the military police and intelligence agencies will fall out faster than reading a book. Even I avoid doing business directly with the base area. You are even worse. Really
No matter what happens, I can't save you." Chen Mingxiang said in a stern tone.
Nothing about Huatong Trading Company can be hidden from the big boss. Although Zhou Haiwen is also the veteran of the company and the second boss, when it comes to authority, it is incomparable.
Chen Mingxiang also knew the nature of Zhou Haiwen's work, and usually didn't care about occasional omissions. But when he checked the company's transportation accounts, he immediately realized that this guy should be beaten.
Hearing these words, Zhou Haiwen's forehead started to sweat a little. His actions during this period were indeed not rigorous enough, and there were many loopholes in the steps.
Originally, these materials were to be transported to large towns relatively close to the base area, and then transported by the base area's transportation personnel. This gave the illusion that the Japanese army never inspected the goods of Huatong Trading Company.
But in order to save time and take advantage of the company's transportation fleet, he canceled this link, and the goods were often unloaded directly near the base area.
Zhou Haiwen knew that Chen Mingxiang didn't mind that he was an underground party, nor did he mind delivering supplies to the base area. Relying on the golden name of Huatong Trading Company, no one bothered him. His vigilance gradually weakened, unlike before.
careful.
But when Chen Mingxiang said it to his face, it meant that what he did had touched the bottom line. This was a clear warning.
"Mingxiang, I admit that I have been a little careless during this period and caused you trouble. I am really sorry. I promise to follow the same steps in the future and this kind of phenomenon will not happen again." Zhou Haiwen said hurriedly.
Chen Mingxiang is decisive in doing things and will not tolerate others just because they are classmates. Last time, Zhou Haiwen was driven from Shanghai to Suzhou and Hangzhou because of his mistakes.
If because of this mistake, we are completely kicked out of Huatong Trading Company and lose this extremely important resource, it will be a fatal blow to Zhou Haiwen and the transportation work of the organization.
Zhou Haiwen was able to make money to purchase materials for the base area, and the materials were able to reach the surrounding areas despite being intercepted by so many checkpoints, all because of the special status and privileges of Huatong Trading Company.
The material procurement and transportation team he leads is responsible for transporting necessary materials to the two base areas in northern Jiangsu and southern Jiangsu, and must not make any mistakes.
"This matter ends here. I will not say it again in the future. The base area is facing the blockade of the mountain city government and the raids by the Japanese army. Is the current food gap big?" Chen Mingxiang asked.
Zhou Haiwen was dumbfounded. Why would Chen Mingxiang care about this issue?
He knew that Huatong Trading Company mainly relied on Li Shiqun's provincial government and Qingxiang Committee to supply food to the gendarmerie and marines stationed in Shanghai, and there was no excess share. But Chen Mingxiang would never say useless nonsense. Since
If you ask this question, there must be a special intention.
