Eight hundred and twentieth nine chapters of the great change outside the customs five
The Shanghai Yuchang Coal Company suddenly put up a notice board, changing the sale of briquettes to the sale of coal. It also stipulated that each household can purchase one load of coal per month. January coal will be sold at the end of December, and February coal will be sold at the end of January. It will be closed during the Spring Festival.
During the rest, the people bought the goods and took them home and shook them into briquettes.
The entire Shanghai stock market was turned upside down by Chen Mingxiang's move. This was the first time he dug three feet into the public concession to arrest people. The impact was definitely not as big as it is now. It was a lively event in the hearts of the citizens, but after all, coal was related to their vital interests, and he presided over the relief program.
Activities, simply earned enough fame.
If anyone treats Chen Mingxiang as a traitor, the citizens of Shanghai will not agree. Such a kind act is also called a traitor. Are you blind?
Thirty yuan for one hundred kilograms of coal is obviously a bargain. If the proportion of one load of coal is changed, the maximum number of briquettes can be produced is two loads. Although this method does not have enough firepower, it can barely sustain it. It just costs more for cooking.
Take some time.
There are a total of 60 briquette shops in the Public Settlement, French Concession and Nanshi. Even so, they cannot sell out 50,000 tons of coal in a short period of time. Moreover, the shops are all in densely populated areas, and there is no place to store coal.
But Chen Mingxiang had an idea. He divided these three areas into 60 distribution points. At each point, Bao Chang and Jia Chang counted the quantity. Huatong Trading Company's transport trucks would transport the coal to the designated place, and there would be dedicated personnel to watch it.
The scale collects money, which speeds up the process a lot.
"Chen Mingxiang, a wicked and smoking bastard, can actually come up with such a method. I greet his eighteenth generation of ancestors! This is destroying the rules of the coal industry and turning selling briquettes into selling coal. In this way, the market
It’s all chaos!”
"Even if we open our doors for business now, a load of briquettes can never be sold for less than thirty-five yuan. The delay is too long and the cost is getting higher and higher. It's good for him that he dares to sell a load of coal for thirty-five yuan. This is
We are going to be forced to die!" Boss Zheng of Nanyang Lianmei was anxious.
"In addition to the briquettes stored, each Lianmei Company has also hoarded coal for at least five months. All our working capital is tied up in this. In order to increase the coal price this time, many of us have also taken loans from banks and
The bank is borrowing money, we really can't support it anymore, President Hirano, you have to find a way for everyone!" said Boss Zhao of Guohua Lian Coal Company.
Hoarding requires funds. This is the simplest common sense. People without money cannot afford to hoard goods. The benefits are high and the risks are high. Some speculative businessmen often die because of this.
This group of local coal merchants in Shanghai who monopolized AI did not understand the situation clearly. They followed the Japanese coal merchants and insisted on squeezing Chen Mingxiang to death. For this reason, they put their entire family fortune at risk.
But Chen Mingxiang does not consider the funding issue. He is supported by the funds of Xingya Institute, the funds of the municipal government, and the money from China Reserve Bank can be used at any time. Is he still afraid of this trick?
"To be honest, our imperial merchants are under greater financial pressure and have borrowed a large amount of funds from other trading companies. This is not going to work. Chen Mingxiang has received subsidies from all aspects and is making money selling coal. We will appeal to the imperial government and demand
Put an end to this situation." President Hirano said.
Japanese coal merchants also felt uncomfortable. The coal they hoarded was calculated based on the coal consumption of the entire Shanghai market. Unexpectedly, Chen Mingxiang suddenly intervened, resulting in no sales for several months and tens of millions consumed a month. They could not afford it.
.
Chen Mingxiang stood on the third floor of Yunhua Restaurant, looking at the lively scene of a briquette shop in the distance. He felt a little better. Although this situation would not last long, his efforts would eventually pay off, and his personal strength would also be rewarded.
Not much can be done.
"Comrade Mingxiang, I just received a reply message from the headquarters. The superior leaders expressed their gratitude for the important information you provided. As for Kunyu, it will take a few days to withdraw to the customs."
"Because according to the intelligence you provided, the guerrilla detachment that sneaked into the puppet Manchukuo territory encountered a great threat, but the Bingcheng underground party organization really lacked manpower, so she went to the mountainous area to contact the guerrilla detachment." Zheng Tonghui said.
The underground party has always been honest with its friends and comrades. One is one and the other is two, and there is no deliberate concealment.
Chen Mingxiang is very familiar with the situation outside the customs. He should know that Lu Kunyu will not receive such a task unless it is a last resort.
"I know a little bit about the environment near Xiaoqingshan. In fact, North Manchuria is mountainous and forested, which is roughly the same. The difficulty of this mission is very high. I heard that it has snowed heavily for several days in a row, and the roads have been blocked.
Even if it is covered, it may continue to do so. This situation is very dangerous for a girl's family." Chen Mingxiang said helplessly.
The path is chosen by the junior sister herself. Now that she has made a choice, she must bear all the consequences of her decision. Chen Mingxiang himself does not know whether he can survive until the day when the Anti-Japanese War is won.
He understands the situation outside the Pass. If he had been ordered to lurk in the Puppet Manchukuo, it would be difficult for him to reach the point where he is now. The water in Central China is muddy, so he can fish in troubled waters, but the water outside the Pass is too clear, and it is almost impossible to flex his muscles in this environment.
It's impossible. If you underestimate your enemy, you will pay a heavy price.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Wei Dasheng walked out of a ravine in Xiaoqingshan, with a proud expression on his face. He lit a cigarette while walking.
The man walked out immediately.
"Taijun, I have obtained their code book and also know their hiding place. I followed the ravine and marked the tree. The imperial army will be able to find them soon. Here are the remains of the underground party army.
The next camp is some broken wooden houses." Wei Dasheng nodded and bowed.
"Wei Sang, you've done a great job. The positions and rewards promised to you will be fulfilled once the guerrilla detachment is wiped out. I will immediately send a report to the Kwantung Army to outflank the Ma'anshan area with the gendarmerie at the same time. It's best to do it before it snows heavily.
End the battle beforehand, otherwise it will be very troublesome!" said the operations team leader of the Special High School.
"I just found animal traps and traps. There are probably hunters catching rabbits and wild boars. The imperial army must be careful when entering the mountains to avoid accidental injuries," said Wei Dasheng.
Soon, the Binjiang Provincial Security Bureau station in Bingcheng received a telegram, and the military police and police units that had arrived in Xinmin Town began operations at the same time as the Kwantung Army field troops who arrived in the Ma'anshan area.
In the security chief's office, Major General Kato Tomarijiro and Major General Yanagida Genzo sat across from each other, each smoking a cigarette and drinking tea. No one bothered to talk to the other. Isao Takeda looked at the two men and could only pretend not to see them.
After returning to Bingcheng from Shanghai, the gendarmerie and police forces began to take action. The Kwantung Army's field troops also moved from Bayan and Mulan to the Ma'anshan area, forming a semi-encirclement formation.
What the Military Police Headquarters meant was to directly send troops to follow Wei Dasheng from a distance and go directly to Xiaoqingshan to wait for the attack. The advantage of doing this was to minimize the possibility of escaping from the encirclement and shorten the attack time.
But what the Bingcheng Secret Service Headquarters means is that the guerrilla detachment has always been very vigilant. Sentries can even be placed thousands of meters away. If a large force follows the action, it will be easily detected, which will lead to failure. Xinmin Town and Ma'anshan are only a few meters away from Xiaoqingshan
A journey of a few kilometers or so is totally possible.
