Hearing what Wu Ziying said, even Chen Mingxiang couldn't help but admire it. She was such a smart girl. She deserved to be highly educated and came from a business family. Her understanding was completely correct.
The snipe and the clam compete for the fishermen's profits, creating an environment of mutual opposition and competition. In this way, the Haiyuan Salt Company becomes the arbiter. Both parties must rely on the company to obtain profits or even survive, thus maximizing their interests.
.
"You are very smart. Being my secretary is a bit unfair. If there is no competition, the new salt merchants will quickly move towards monopoly. This is not in line with my intention." Chen Mingxiang nodded and said.
Whether they are new salt merchants or old salt merchants, they actually have not understood the fact that in the areas covered by Haiyuan Salt Company, Chen Mingxiang is the real monopoly. They are just downstream wholesalers. It is good to have soup.
Now, you still want to eat meat?
"Boss, in our Central China area, there are many beautiful girls who want to be your secretary. I am very satisfied with this opportunity and I don't dare to have too high expectations."
"Secretary to the Secretary of Police, police chiefs from all over the country have to give me face. The police chief in Guangling even gave my family gifts during the Chinese New Year. My family's status in Guangling has also increased. I have a small request." Wu Ziying.
He said with a smile as bright as a flower.
"Look, the fox's tail is exposed, let's talk about it." Chen Mingxiang also laughed.
"Boss, my family also sells salt in Guangling. Can you sign a salt purchase license for my family? My father also wants to do the salt wholesale business." Wu Ziying said.
Wholesale requires more capital than retail, but retail is definitely not as profitable as wholesale. Wholesale is aimed at salt shops, with large quantities and fast, while retail is aimed at ordinary people, which is relatively trivial and has a long cycle, and their status in the industry is completely different.
.
The so-called purchasing license is simply the qualification to become a salt merchant. With this license, you can wholesale salt from Haiyuan Salt Company.
"Why, are you anxious to make money for yourself to save a dowry?" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
He did not resent his secretary's request. In addition to being responsible for the affairs of the Police Department, Wu Ziying also helped him contact the new salt merchants in the south and north of the Yangtze River. There was no credit but hard work. Didn't he just want to engage in salt wholesale? To him, it was a saying
Things to say.
During the Republic of China, there were no regulations on the qualifications for wholesale sales of salt. As long as you had money to do this kind of business, anyone could join, but the problem was whether you could get the goods was the most critical.
"Yes, at the age of twenty-six, I would have had at least two or three children before. In the eyes of others, I am just an old girl. If I don't save some dowry for myself, what will happen if no one marries me? Boss, you
I think I look pretty good, why don't you take me in?" Wu Ziying said with a smile.
This is a very scheming girl who knows how to use such harmless jokes to bring her closer to her boss. No wonder she was chosen as a liaison by the salt merchants!
"The most indispensable thing in Shanghai is beautiful girls. If I wanted a woman, I could line up from No. 76 to the Huangpu River. But it's rare to find someone as smart as you."
"Okay, I'll write you a note and take it to Haiyuan Salt Company to go through the formalities. How much is needed for the share of Changlu Saltworks? Wait for your father to coordinate with the new salt merchants and start the operation from the next batch of salt.
." Chen Mingxiang said.
After teasing his secretary for a while, Chen Mingxiang was in a good mood and just returned home. When he heard Wang Zhenyi said about the message from the bureau headquarters, his mood suddenly became bad.
The bureau headquarters not only requires Chang'an Trading Company to provide 1,000 tons of lake salt to the bureau headquarters every month, but also requires Haiyuan Salt Company to provide 1,000 tons of sea salt to the Zhejiang Provincial Station every month. This is a dead order and must be fulfilled.
The most important thing is that it doesn't matter that the bureau headquarters needs salt, but they won't pay for it! As for the payment for the purchase, Chen Mingxiang has to find a way on his own, and the bureau headquarters will give it to him in three months at most.
"It seems that after the April 1st celebration meeting, our military command bureau once again had funding problems, forcing Boss Dai to turn to salt revenue to alleviate the problem. Two thousand tons per month does not sound like much, but even the payment for goods
Including it, it’s quite a lot of money.”
"I got the news that the price of salt per quintal in Guangdong Province is up to 1,400 yuan in legal currency, which is 14 yuan per kilo. This is a regional price, but even in Sichuan Province, it is more than 600 yuan per quintal.
Six yuan per catty, twelve thousand per ton, which is equivalent to 24 million French currency per month." Wang Zhen said.
"What can I do? For the sake of money, even Boss Dai has started to act like a hooligan. How dare I disobey the order? As a subordinate, I can only obey. The Military Command Bureau has so many local stations and tens of thousands of people, but I just get arrested.
If you hold on to me and don't let go, it's really unbalanced."
"The sea salt from Changlu Saltworks is easy to handle. As for the lake salt, tonight I will find relevant personnel to contact Yanzhou and continue to deliver goods to Chang'an Trading House. This is forcing me to contact the underground party! It seems that I
You also need a letter of authorization to avoid someone looking for trouble in the future!" Chen Mingxiang said.
This was true. He really wanted to find Pan Qiwu and ask Boss Dai to sign a secret authorization order granting him permission to contact the underground party. Otherwise, he might become a source of attack in the future.
That committee member of the Shancheng government was so angry that he gritted his teeth when he heard about the underground party. No matter how much he contributed to the Shancheng government, whoever got involved with the underground party would definitely be in trouble.
"Your company does not have a bank as a transit channel in the Kuomintang-controlled area, and the distance between the two places is too far, so it is very inconvenient to send money. The head of the base area also agreed that the payment should be paid from the Shanghai stock market, which will also be convenient for direct payment to the two base areas in southern and northern Jiangsu.
.”
"Mingxiang, on behalf of the organization, I have a heartfelt request. The French currency is depreciating very quickly, almost every once in a while. There are also practical difficulties in purchasing materials in the base area. The chief would like to ask for your help to pay for the salt.
To exchange for some hard currency, preferably gold, you can operate according to the black market price. The leaders understand this, and it is not easy to exchange gold in the current Shanghai stock market," Zheng Tonghui said.
"Black market? A gold bar weighing ten ounces was worth 20,000 yuan last year. This year it has risen to 30,000 yuan. The value of a ton of your lake salt is less than 3,000 yuan. It only takes ten tons to exchange for a gold bar. But
Salt is the most important financial support for the Yanzhou base, how much salt can be exchanged?" Chen Mingxiang said.
"I know what you said is the truth. I only plan to redeem one hundred cans in the early stage. In order to use it in a particularly urgent time, I can't do without some reserves." Zheng Tonghui said.
The 30,000 yuan a China Reserve Bond mentioned by Chen Mingxiang is already a reasonable price. In fact, it is impossible to exchange for one without 35,000 yuan. Prices in the Shanghai stock market have risen too fast. Rice has reached 1,200 yuan.
The price of money per stone has increased more than a hundred times compared to before the Anti-Japanese War. It has only been a few years!/tentgt;
