Zhou Fahai agrees with Li Hongfei's explanation. He also knows that there is xenophobia in the industry, especially in monopolized industries like salt. It is extremely difficult for newcomers to gain a foothold in the industry, and they will be jointly suppressed by the old forces.
.
The methods used by Li Hongfei and others cannot be said to be wrong, but the people they deal with are not that simple. If Chen Mingxiang has been able to get to this point, can he be a master who can be easily plotted?
Estimating the thoughts and purposes of these people, Chen Mingxiang was very knowledgeable, so he did not engage in long-winded negotiations with them. Doing so would be time-consuming and labor-intensive. Instead, he simply violently crushed them and asked the gendarmerie to help clear the area. First, a group of people were eliminated.
Kicked out of this industry, whoever has the biggest fist has the final say.
"What you think and what you can do are two different things. You have to weigh how much food a person eats. I have warned you long ago that Chen Mingxiang's Haiyuan Salt Company is not simple, but you can't listen. You think you are right with Chen Mingxiang.
The status of waiting?"
"Now we are in trouble. These salt merchants have fallen into the hands of the gendarmerie. The most important thing is that a large amount of salt has been found. This means that the gendarmerie has been keeping an eye on you for a long time and is waiting to pick the right moment to strike!"
"Let me tell you, things are really big this time. They have been accused of hoarding and price gouging. Some people may really lose their heads. I am not kidding you. It is not commonplace for Japanese military police to kill people!"
Zhou Fahai said.
This is really not to scare Li Hongfei. In the past, the Japanese Huazhong Salt Industry Co., Ltd. needed to rely on the power of these old salt merchants to implement the salt rationing system. However, as Huazhong Salt Industry Company wanted to acquire Huazhong Salt Industry Co., Ltd., these old salt companies
Shang is no longer of use to the Japanese.
Killing is an extremely simple matter for the Japanese military police, and they can kill without any reason, not to mention that they have already grabbed the tail of these salt merchants!
"Minister, I beg you to save them. These are the future shareholders of Huazhong Salt Company. Without their local support, our salt tax revenue will inevitably suffer great losses. Director Chen's Haiyuan Salt Company, but
I never pay taxes!" Li Hongfei begged.
"What you said is accurate. Chen Mingxiang's company still needs to pay taxes? Behind it is either the Japanese military police or the Japanese Marine Corps, as well as the Garrison Headquarters and the Consulate General in Shanghai. Even if he wants to pay, who dares to eat the bear's heart and leopard?
Go and collect it?”
"Chen Mingxiang has always been very measured in what he does. He will not kill these salt merchants. As long as you don't take the initiative to provoke him in the future, he is not willing to cause trouble for himself. However, I have to tell you that it was confiscated by the gendarmerie.
It’s impossible for the salt to come back, so you must be mentally prepared.” Zhou Fahai said.
The gendarmerie was sent out to arrest people and close down the store. How could he still act in a measured manner? Huazhong Salt Company is an enterprise under the Ministry of Finance. Are you putting the cart before the horse and turning your elbows outward?
"That's more than 10,000 tons of coarse salt. According to the current market, it is worth tens of millions of China Reserve Bank bonds. Minister, can you think of a way to get some of it?" Li Hongfei felt a little distressed.
This is a bit unrealistic. The shipping price of salt from the Lianghuai Salt Farm is not that high. He calculated it based on the current market price. One ton sells for 3,000 yuan, and 10,000 tons is 30 million.
"You still want me to get the goods out for you? Childish! Now that the gendarmerie headquarters in Shanghai has taken action, do you think it's a joke? The seized salt should be regarded as a ransom for their release.
Is money or life more important?”
"And because of this incident, the negotiations to acquire Huazhong Salt Co., Ltd. were interrupted, which hindered the Ministry of Finance from recovering the salt tax. It is not known when it will be restored. Hong Fei, you are the director of Huazhong Salt Co., Ltd. I selected
Chairman Wang is very unhappy and has questioned your ability."
"In the future, you must be cautious in doing things and don't do things that overestimate your capabilities. You can't beat Chen Mingxiang in Central China, and you don't even think about it. His roots are in the Special High School and Special Agents of the Military Police Headquarters in Shanghai.
The headquarters now controls the Police Department. As long as he wants to know, you have no secrets from him."
"Actually, you should be lucky that Chen Mingxiang is a relatively disciplined person and has not been infected with so many bad habits of the secret service. Otherwise, just because you provoke him again and again and want to cut off his financial path, he
He can kill you, it’s not difficult at all for him, he can do it just by saying hello!” Zhou Fahai said.
When Li Hongfei heard Zhou Fahai's words, he couldn't help but feel chills all over his body. Because he was protected by Zhou Fahai, he really didn't think of Chen Mingxiang's identity. But after Zhou Fahai reminded him, he suddenly woke up and said in his heart that he was lucky. He really forgot about this.
.
Chen Mingxiang not only came from the Secret Service Headquarters, but also had a good relationship with Li Shiqun. Ma Xiaotian, the district chief of Jinling District of the Secret Service Headquarters, is now the executive deputy director of the Police Department.
The notorious secret service headquarters is more murderous than the Japanese military police. There are too many ways to make him disappear. He should be happy with today's results. If Chen Mingxiang's financial path is really cut off, by then
At that time, Zhou Fahai's face was also in trouble. Destroying a person's wealth is like killing his parents. This is the most common saying among businessmen.
"You notify the salt merchants in various places and immediately go to the headquarters of Shanghai Haiyuan Salt Company to get the bill of lading, and then contact the local gendarmerie to get the seized 10,000 tons of salt and quickly put it into the market. It must be sold at the prescribed price.
"
"My request is very simple. Let the common people buy salt in the shortest time. Special treatment will be given to special circumstances. Each person can buy two kilograms of coarse salt at a time, regardless of men, women, old or young. This will also help them quickly occupy the market and expand their presence in the local area.
influence." Chen Mingxiang said in his office.
"Okay, Director, I will call the salt merchants I can contact later and ask them to tell each other to come to Shanghai as soon as possible. What kind of punishment will these arrested salt merchants receive?" Wu Ziying asked.
"Don't they want to monopolize the industry and make money? This batch of salt is punishment. The market value is 30 million China Reserve Certificates. Not a single grain of salt will be returned. It is equivalent to losing money and avoiding disaster, and they will have to stay in the gendarmerie prison for a period of time.
, taste the taste of eating steamed buns and drinking cold water."
"I know what you mean by this question. The new salt merchants naturally want to use this matter to uproot all the old salt merchants, but this is absolutely impossible, and the Jinling government will not agree."
"They have dominated the industry for many years, have accumulated deep connections in the military and political circles, and have deep roots in the local area. Besides, I have no intention of putting them to death," Chen Mingxiang said.
"Director, are you worried that by doing this, you will personally support another monopoly force, so you plan to create a competitive relationship between the two parties?" Wu Ziying asked with a smile./tentgt;
