Chen Mingxiang's decision to close a textile factory in Suzhou was really not a lie to the bureau headquarters, but his judgment of the current situation, or the situation prompted him to make such a choice.
It's not just because of the raw materials, the reasons are very complicated. After careful consideration, he believed that closing the business would be beneficial to his future.
"At the end of March and early April, I plan to close the largest Suzhou Textile Factory No. 1, and all the cotton resources that Suzhou Province can collect will be invested in Textile Factory No. 2 and Textile Factory No. 3, so that normal operations can be maintained.
"
"Cotton cloth is a necessity in daily life. Some of the textile factories in Shanghai that were recovered from the Japanese army will also start operations one after another, which will require a large number of textile workers. I saw that several have begun to advertise in newspapers for recruitment."
"You also know that most of the female workers in our three textile factories followed Shanghai to Suzhou because they had no choice but to take care of their family affairs. Now that they have the opportunity, they would rather earn less than return to Shanghai.
City, people's hearts are a little unstable."
"I plan to let go of all the workers who voluntarily resigned. Haiwen is counting the number of people. It is estimated that at least half of them will return to the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Of course, there are also a large number of unemployed workers in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. We can recruit them when they are needed, but the general environment is not favorable.
, I also have to make some changes." Chen Mingxiang said.
No matter how greedy the Japanese invaders are and need cotton cloth, the people in the occupied areas must have cloth to make clothes. This is an indispensable material for daily life.
As far as the current situation is concerned, most families can't make one set of clothes in a year, so they can continue to wear them if they sew and mend them. It's not a problem to look ugly. It's just that the population base of Shanghai is too large, and coupled with the needs of occupied areas in various provinces, there are still
Some textile factories must be allowed to start production.
The output will definitely not be very large. The distribution rights of cotton are in the hands of Japanese businessmen, and the power priority is given to Japanese businessmen. It is not easy to survive under such circumstances.
The main force of Chen Mingxiang's textile factory is tens of thousands of skilled female workers brought to Suzhou from Shanghai. He is not a capitalist who earns hard-earned money through exploitation. Those who are willing to leave must be sent back to Shanghai, so that they can gain a good reputation.
.
But at least half of the female textile workers would not leave his textile factory due to family reasons. In terms of salary, working here for one month would be equivalent to working in Shanghai for three to four months.
As for welfare, it is a dream in other companies, but it can provide cheap food, soybean oil, matches, salt, etc. It is very good for other textile factories to make a living.
"You are pessimistic about the future situation. I am not opposed to you closing the factory. I am just curious whether there are strategic considerations in your move?" Wang Zhen said with a smile.
She has never opposed Chen Mingxiang's decisions, nor does she value the interests of the textile factory. Even if she does nothing now, future generations will not have to worry about life issues.
"Before the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the situation will only get worse. Don't expect the textile factory to become more prosperous. There are no orders from the Kwantung Army yet. It may be affected by the war situation. I plan to go outside the Kwantung Army the day after tomorrow.
Let’s go and test the tone of the management department of the Kwantung Army General Headquarters.”
"If they don't plan to continue placing orders with us, or the order quantity is very small, I will simply close down the second and third factories and concentrate the workers in the first factory to continue production, so that we can reach 50% of the current output.
"
"Cotton is the key to restricting textile mills, but no one can solve this problem. The Japanese troops dispatched in China, the Kwantung Army and the puppet troops of the Wang Puppet Government, totaling more than two million, consume an extremely staggering amount of cotton. This is still
Not counting, the civilians in Japan and the Southern Army in Southeast Asia are even more bottomless pits, and no amount of cotton cloth is enough."
"Cotton cloth and cotton yarn are the main materials I exchange with the Kuomintang-controlled areas. Textile factories have reduced production and cannot produce enough materials for exchange. The problem is the Japanese themselves. They want to control the distribution and acquisition rights of cotton, and they want me to engage in smuggling. How can
Is there such a good thing?"
"It is impossible to increase the supply of cotton to me. This is a limitation set by the Japanese army's own needs. Their only way is to squeeze out a part of the share from Japanese businessmen, which will reduce the internal supply. This is a dilemma
things."
"My industry has long made many people jealous, and sooner or later it will become the target of public criticism. From now on, except for cigarette factories, silk weaving factories and tea factories, I will no longer engage in industry and focus on salt operations. These are not so sensitive after all."
Chen Mingxiang said.
"Yesterday I looked at the accounts of Chang'an Trading House of Haiyuan Salt Company. So far, the bureau headquarters has not settled a dime to the trading house for the salt we transported to the Kuomintang-controlled area. This is more than 3,000 tons of salt, worth 1,000 yuan.
More than ten thousand French currency." Wang Zhen said.
"It is estimated that after a new year, the financial situation of the bureau headquarters has deteriorated again. During such a major festival, the Military Command Bureau also has to establish relationships and go through the motions. Provincial stations and divisions in various places not only have to write off funds, but also have to go through the motions.
I don’t dare to pay more for the festival, but secretly I use various excuses.”
"You inform Chang'an Trading Bank and ask them to prompt the settlement to the bureau headquarters. We cannot ask the trading bank itself. That is just looking for excitement." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
It's a joke for a local station of the Military Unification Bureau to ask the bureau headquarters to settle the payment. Do you still want to work in the Military Unification Bureau?
"Isn't this bad? Since you know that the financial situation of the bureau is not good, and you still want the trading house to make demands, will Boss Dai be angry?" Wang Zhen asked.
"So I asked Chang'an Trading Bank to raise this matter themselves. They are all veterans and know how to operate. The distance between us and the trading bank is too far. The trading bank's capital turnover is difficult, and the money from the headquarters cannot be sent in a short time.
Kuomintang-controlled areas, this is completely reasonable and reasonable, you don’t understand, it would be troublesome if you don’t do this!” Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
He felt a little uncomfortable, so he thought about adding more trouble to Boss Dai. In terms of work, the direct branch did an impeccable job and provided the bureau headquarters with a basis for entering the Yanzhou base area. Whether or not they can enter the Yanzhou base area is not my problem, but the bureau
The headquarters is withholding the payment for the goods, so what's going on?
Furthermore, he cannot give the bureau headquarters the impression of being wealthy, as this will cause problems for the bureau headquarters. If this happens in the future, he will easily deduct the payment. He cannot support the expenses of the Military Command Bureau.
Banks were not developed during the Republic of China. The funds from the headquarters of Haiyuan Salt Company could not be transferred to Chang'an through banks controlled by the Japanese puppets. This would also bring great risks.
When Chang'an Trading Bank was first established, the manager went there with a large amount of start-up capital. As long as the payment for goods at the bureau headquarters was settled well, there would be no financial difficulties. I have found financial resources for you, but you are holding back. What is this called?
