"Of course there is no problem. Ono-kun, your intelligence department is responsible for collecting information on all grain speculators in Shanghai and handing it over to Chen Jun as soon as possible. I will now call the director of Kodama and ask him to provide information for China as soon as possible.
Tong Trading Company will raise at least US$10 million in loan payments, and the same amount will be raised by October, which can basically meet the procurement needs."
"By the way, let me tell you news. The Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, the Military Police Headquarters and the Marine Corps Headquarters, and the Jinling Government's Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Food, Ministry of Industry, Chamber of Commerce and Unification, and the Municipal Government will jointly attack
Regarding grain speculation in the Shanghai stock market, I will recommend you to this joint investigation team."
"This is a great opportunity. Starting from the day after tomorrow, the movement of food in the entire Shanghai city will be prohibited. The gendarmerie, marines, police stations and security headquarters will all be dispatched to blockade the entire city. You must seize the time to operate, at least
We got more than 15,000 tons of rice from them."
"For the remaining 15,000 tons of rice, when the grain in Jiangsu Province matures, you will secretly purchase it from Jiangsu Province and transport it from Zhenjiang Pier to the warehouse of the Third Fleet in Shanghai. This is the navy's grain reserve. You can only
We are operating in private, so I leave this matter to you and keep it confidential," said Kakusaburo Makita.
The grain purchased by Japanese businessmen in Jiangsu Province was not only for the army, but also for the navy. Because the requirement of the military department was to support war through war, the country would not provide military ration to the Chinese garrison.
But seeing the horrific scenes of food shortages in Shanghai, seeing people starving to death on the streets every day, and hearing the constant cries of hunger among residents in the public concessions, the Fleet Headquarters issued the order without hesitation.
, the Japanese navy in China must have some food reserves.
This is also a necessary action caused by the conflict between the army and the navy. The army naturally has the advantage on land. When encountering a food crisis, the army will use all means to seize the share. The navy cannot compete with the army.
"Chen Jun, you have to shorten the time to complete the mission as much as possible. General Makita can't last much longer. According to his military age, he may soon be transferred back to the country for a transition, and then transferred to the reserve force. Our Marine Corps can only have two
There will be a new commander in three months," Lieutenant Colonel Ono said.
You devils want to torment people!
Of course, Chen Mingxiang knew what Lieutenant Colonel Ono meant, which was to ask him to complete the food procurement task as soon as possible, and then pay a dividend to Kakuzaburo Makita, so that he could go home and retire comfortably.
But in this way, he would suffer a big loss. When Makita Kakusaburo left, he would definitely send Chengyi away. This was his "routine". Anyone in the upper echelons of the Japanese garrison knew that it was not easy to establish a reputation for friendship.
, we must not collapse just because of these tens of thousands of dollars.
In order to continue the "friendship" with the Navy and use the power of the Marine Corps, he had to give the new commander a generous greeting gift, and the relationship had to be built from scratch. It was really bad.
But he didn't know that bad things were yet to come!
"Secretary Mo wants to take over these 6,000 tons of coarse grains? Are you kidding me?" Chen Mingxiang was grabbed by Mo Guokang as soon as he arrived at the city hall.
Although he had the right to go directly to Chen Gongbo's office, he was willing to follow the city government's internal rules of the game and arrange reports through Chen Gongbo's secretary Mo Guokang. But what he never expected was that this greedy woman would...
He actually set his sights on these 6,000 tons of coarse grains.
The price of coarse grains is much worse than that of rice, but grain is a commodity that relies on quantity. Even if you earn 2,000 yuan per ton, 1,000 tons is 2 million, and 6,000 tons is 12 million. This profit is still
Not too small.
"Mingxiang, food is the most scarce material in the Shanghai market now. You can't buy it with money. You also know that my expenses are relatively large, and my hands are inevitably a little nervous. If I give these grains to grain merchants for sale, they will
Not only do you owe me a favor, but you are bound to share some profits with me, so just think of it as doing me a favor, okay?" Mo Guokang said with a smile.
Lack of money seems to be impossible for someone like her, but in fact, she has been really tight recently, such as buying cosmetics, clothes, jewelry and other luxury goods, a dozen servants in the villa, and drivers.
and gardeners, eating delicacies from mountains and seas, the cost of daily life is quite high.
This is nothing, her living expenses are just a drop in the bucket. The key is that she is also involved in other things. In addition to contracting municipal government projects, she also bought shares in several companies, took advantage of the chaos in the Shanghai stock market, bought real estate on a large scale, and also
Collecting antique calligraphy and paintings, etc., these are where the real money is spent.
If these 6,000 tons of coarse grain fall into her hands and are 100% sold to speculators, she can earn at least three to four million in dividends. As for the people in the Shanghai stock market, what does it have to do with her?
"Miss Mo, maybe you don't quite understand. It's no use even if I agree to this matter. In terms of pure profits, I really don't mean to argue with you. The problem is that the gendarmerie in Shanghai and the Consulate General in Shanghai have already made the specific operations
The method has been decided."
"Four thousand tons of coarse grains are directly allocated to designated grain merchants and rationed to citizens according to the prescribed flat prices. They are limited to the public concession and the French Concession. The remaining two thousand tons of coarse grains and one thousand tons have to be transported to the charity relief station in Zhabei.
There are more than 20,000 people in the relief station, and they have to consume ten tons a day, and another thousand tons are transported to Nanshi for the poor people to buy at a low price." Chen Mingxiang said with a seemingly wry smile.
"Then forget it. With the attention of the Japanese, I won't make it difficult for you." Mo Guokang was immediately discouraged. How could she dare to offend the Japanese?
"Actually, this matter is easy to handle. This batch belongs to the relief grain purchased by the Shanghai Special Municipal Government, and the price of grain is so high, there is a lot of room for manipulation. In this way, I will leave you two hundred yuan per ton.
The profits are just the mayor's signature and the municipal finance bureau's allocation, and you need to be responsible for it." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
Although the Japanese are used as an excuse, Mo Guokang will not blame himself, but this woman can be Chen Gongbo's home most of the time. It is better to do less than to do more. Being able to have a good relationship with her will also be helpful in the future. Anyway,
It's not your own money you're spending.
"I know you are the best to me. There is no problem with signing and appropriation. Just leave it to me. Let's go to my office to change the price. Then we will report to the mayor. The biggest problem now is
There is no source of food, and money is secondary."
"The grain shortage in Shanghai has seriously affected the image of the Jinling government and the municipal government. They attach great importance to it from top to bottom. In view of the emergency, severe measures will be taken in two days to rectify the Shanghai grain market on a large scale. The Ministry of Finance
The deputy minister has already come to the Shanghai Stock Exchange." Mo Guokang said with a smile.lt;/tentgt;
