Eight hundred and ninetieth chapters cast a net to block four
When it comes to the huge benefits generated by industry monopolies, everything is possible. Even the Japanese government's new strategy cannot resist the chaebol's pursuit of profits. Businessmen's pursuit of profits is natural and instinctive, and it can even trample on any human rights.
Laws and rules.
Chen Mingxiang is also a businessman himself, and he is not very angry about the actions of these people. If it were not for the nature of the hostile relationship between the two countries caused by the war, his action against Lianmei Company for manipulating coal prices in the Shanghai market is also a monopoly behavior.
It was because of his cruel methods that only ten of the original thirty-four Lianmei companies were left. The twenty-four Lianmei companies lost their market, firstly because of capital confrontation, and secondly because of administrative intervention, but often
This is how monopolies are created.
"The North China Salt Industry Co., Ltd. has joined forces with the Central China Salt Industry Company this time to expel you from the Lianghuai Salt Fields and the Changlu Salt Fields. You are really arrogant enough to force Japanese businessmen and Wang Puppet Government to
Subordinate companies have joined forces." Wang Zhen said with a smile.
The North China Salt Industry Co., Ltd. is a Japanese state-owned company. It has government shares and businessmen's shares. The same goes for the Central China Salt Company. It has shares from the Ministry of Finance of the puppet government and salt merchants. The properties are similar.
.
"This is not accurate. As long as there are benefits, businessmen don't care whether there are festivals or not. What's more, Huazhong Salt Company controls the Lianghuai Salt Field, and North China Salt Company controls the Changlu Salt Field. There is no conflict between the two.
.”
"Their intention is not only to expel me from Changlu Salt Field and Lianghuai Salt Field, but also to expel me from the entire industry and restore the previous monopoly structure."
"Haiyuan Salt Company is quite hated. Japanese businessmen have to pay taxes and dividends to the Japanese government. The same goes for Huazhong Salt Company. But as for me, not to mention 'occupying' salt fields and the right to sell salt, who can
You can’t collect taxes even if you ask me. It’s not a Japanese company or a company of the Wang Puppet Government, it’s a company with mixed forces from many sides.”
"I admit that this move is a good move, but the problem is that the timing is a bit too late, and Haiyuan Salt Company has its own background. Businessmen can go crazy for profit, and Japanese military police and spies are no worse than them for profit.
Go." Chen Mingxiang said.
The chaebol and the military are in a relationship of mutual use. The chaebol is also pushing the Japanese government to launch this war, but Japan cannot be controlled by the chaebol. Being influential does not mean that it can interfere with national policies.
Chen Mingxiang’s words are easy to understand. If the Japanese government’s new strategy had not been introduced, the influence of the chaebol would have definitely driven him out of the salt industry, and even the coal industry. At that time, the Japanese government and the military were both arrogant.
I don’t know when the sky is high and the earth is high.
But now, it is really too late. The new strategy promoted by the Japanese cabinet and the military ministry itself has the intention of warning the chaebols that everything must serve the war. However, because of their own interests, the chaebols did not contribute enough to the war and delayed the
The back leg of the military department.
After the Japanese army occupied China, they gave a large area of resources to the chaebols for free and provided a large number of preferential policies. However, the chaebols used the resources obtained from the war to make money for themselves, and the price they paid to the military was not low at all, which naturally caused the cabinet to
and the military's resentment.
When local battlefield losses occur, war resources are scarce, and material support is urgently needed, we cannot completely rely on the Japanese chaebols. Delegating power to the Wang Puppet Government also has this meaning.
"How do you plan to deal with these two companies joining forces? The Kwantung Army's cotton orders are only enough to keep the first factory running. The second and third factories are preparing to close down. In the future, salt will become our largest source of income. It is estimated that the funds of the bureau headquarters are somewhat limited.
Trouble, I'm going to default on my debt soon."
"I think we should first send electricity to the First and Second Intelligence Offices, asking them to reduce their funding, reduce the bribery and infiltration of local puppet government officials and puppet troops, and focus on maintaining contact and covert development. The most important thing is intelligence. If there is this
For special needs, you must apply in advance and implement it after approval." Wang Zhen said.
There are not many people in the headquarters of the direct-affiliated station, but there are four intelligence offices below, and they all receive funds from the directly-affiliated station. The salary is definitely not much, but the activity expenses are huge. Now is a special period, and each occupied area
Money is depreciating.
In the past, the total expenses of the thousands of military reunification agents in Shanghai District 1 were only a few hundred thousand, but now an intelligence office directly under the station costs hundreds of thousands. This is the result of rising prices. A thousand yuan of rice is worth one stone of reserve coupons. Why?
You also need to eat enough, right? Think about how many times this has doubled!
In the past, the funds for the direct-affiliated station were deducted from the smuggling transactions between Huatong Trading Company and the bureau headquarters. This time it was different. The bureau headquarters provided materials for five consecutive months without any refund, and used them to collect funds to purchase food. This way
The approach is that not only the direct-affiliated stations will feel uncomfortable, but the bureau headquarters will probably feel even more uncomfortable.
"It's okay to do this. Those guys' appetites have been spoiled by me, and they are more accustomed to spending money to kill people. This is not the right way. The situation is changing, and the old routines must be changed." Chen Mingxiang smiled.
said.
He knew what Wang Zhen meant. As the situation changed, he had to take some protective measures for himself. Huatong Trading Company was so famous that all the forces in the mountain city government didn't know what was going on. Wait until
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, it is estimated that it will definitely become a huge threat.
From now on, we must start to make arrangements to slowly digest those industries that cause trouble, and then save some of them and transfer them to the industries of the Military Command Bureau. As long as Boss Dai testifies for him, no one will dare to cause trouble for him.
But the most difficult thing is also because of Boss Dai. This person is not easy to deceive. There must be solid proof. The two earliest intelligence agencies must have spies from the bureau headquarters. To reduce the funding of the intelligence agency is tantamount to a disguised form.
Passed the message to the bureau headquarters.
"This is Kitazawa Ping's file. Circulate the photos to the Intelligence Department and Operations Department. He has already arrived in Shanghai. We must keep an eye on him and record every move he makes, including who he meets and where he goes.
Wherever you can take photos, take them as hard as you can, and don’t worry about the film.”
"Let me tell you, the people in the Mei agency's intelligence team should leave it alone for the time being, and give up other tasks for the time being, and concentrate on monitoring Kitazawa Ping for me." Chen Mingxiang said, pointing to the file sent by Yoshiko Kawashima.
Perhaps it was the intuition of a fellow agent, but he clearly felt that the arrival of Kitazawa Ping would cause great trouble. The other party was like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, and he didn't know when he would escape.
Come out and bite yourself.
And his biggest advantage at present is that he knows Kitazawa's information in advance, and this guy doesn't know that he is being monitored. Before announcing his appointment, his activities were not so cautious, so he might be able to gain something.
