Nine hundred and sixtieth eight chapters dig a small pit
Although most of the grain that speculators had hoarded for a long time was forcibly purchased by the pseudo-city government and the Japanese, at the same time, they also received large amounts of funds.
When the rice in the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui matures, this group of people will definitely purchase it crazily and make up for their losses at high prices. Invisibly, it also provides a lot of help to Chen Mingxiang's plan to eradicate Li Shiqun. The grain supply in Jiangsu Province
The more dispersed it is, the greater the obstacles the Japanese army will encounter in its food collection plan.
There is another unexplainable reason why they strive for this condition for speculators. The grains that the Japanese sold at low prices or even robbed them in the occupied areas were used to make military rations. Although the speculators’ grain prices were shady, these grains were
They were not sold to the Japanese, but sold to the citizens of Shanghai at a high price.
When the situation falls into crisis again in the future and there is really no other way, Chen Mingxiang plans to encourage the city government and the Japanese to attack them again. Speculators have also become emergency warehouses. He has no psychological burden for such things. I believe that Wang Puppet will do it again.
The government and Japan have no better choice.
"Mingxiang, although I'm used to seeing large-scale cargo transactions around you, some of which are worth hundreds of millions of dollars, this is the first time I've encountered such high profits from this grain transaction. I actually made six million US dollars in one go.
No matter how bad the net profit is, we can still lose half of it, right?"
"The market price of grain is 1,000 yuan of China Reserve Certificates per stone of rice. If you increase it to 2,000 yuan of China Reserve Certificates, aren't you afraid that the Japanese will come to settle the score with you when they find out the truth?" Wang Zhen said with a smile.
The two of them stood on the steps at the door of Mara's villa, watching a large group of grain merchants leaving their homes in their own cars. She couldn't help but ask.
Now that Chen Mingxiang and the representatives of the grain merchants have completed the main content of the communication, and both parties have agreed to each other's conditions, the banquet that night will naturally be a feast for the guests and the host. Naturally, the twelve grain merchants released from the Gendarmerie Headquarters Prison did not return to prison.
, but went home directly after drinking.
Starting from tomorrow, they will gradually transport the stored grain to the Shanghai Grain Bureau, and then distribute it to citizens as soon as possible to alleviate the grain shortage. They will also transport 30,000 tons of rice to Chen Mingxiang's warehouse. As for breaking their promises, they will
, I don’t have the guts to do it to Chen Mingxiang!
Chen Mingxiang had a great harvest this time. Grain merchants took advantage of the US dollar gold from the Military Police Headquarters, Marine Corps Headquarters and Consulate General in Shanghai. He did not intend to hand it over, but directly replaced it with his own dividends.
Chen Mingxiang did not earn a penny from the 36,000 tons of grain purchased for the municipal government's household rice ration. The price was too low. The biggest gain was the 30,000 tons of white rice purchased for the Japanese Navy's Chinese fleet.
The Kodama Agency purchases 2,000 yuan of central reserve coupons per stone. One ton is 40,000 yuan of central reserve coupons, and 30,000 tons is 1.2 billion yuan of central reserve coupons.
Even if the quoted price is one hundred Chubu Bonds to one U.S. dollar, the Chubu Bonds would be equivalent to 12 million U.S. dollars, but the Kodama Agency gave them 15 million U.S. dollars.
Chen Mingxiang naturally gave the grain merchants US dollars. In the current war period, all businessmen with some ability like to save some hard currency. This is much better than China Reserve Bonds. He settled the matter with six million US dollars.
Waiting for the app download address xbzs to still be one thousand yuan in central bank coupons per stone meter.
But the grain merchants agreed to cooperate, and the market price of white rice began to be speculated to 2,000 yuan per stone. Why is it called speculation? Because the price is not the most important, but there is no supply of goods in the market.
According to this calculation method, the remaining payment for the goods is still US$9 million. Chen Mingxiang first keeps US$6 million, which is the payment he deserves, and then takes out US$3 million.
Kodama and Shifu received one million US dollars, and Makita Kakusaburo and the Marine Corps Commander received one million US dollars. They were responsible for settling the internal inquiries of the Navy.
The Consulate General in Shanghai and other management will be allocated one million US dollars to withstand the pressure from the top. If it is known that when the food shortage occurred in Shanghai, the Chinese Fleet Headquarters also purchased 30,000 tons of rice, then
It's also a little troublesome.
"What am I afraid of? It was the Fleet Headquarters of the Japanese Navy who proposed to purchase food. I did not give it to the Kuomintang-controlled areas or underground parties. The Japanese would not even impose sanctions on their own navy, right? Besides, without my coordination, the Japanese Navy would
Can we get 30,000 tons of rice from speculators?"
"These millions are my value. They are legitimately relying on me to make money. It can be said that they can make money from the sky just by sitting in the office. Is there any reason for them to think that food is expensive?"
"This time I left four million US dollars, gave one million US dollars to the military police to smoothen the relationship, gave half a million US dollars to the garrison headquarters, and half a million US dollars to the relatives of May's organization. This matter will not happen.
If there is trouble in the future, use money to clear the way, it will always be detrimental!" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
He wanted to give all the 30,000 tons of rice to the people of Shanghai, but he really couldn't do it!
These speculators can sell rice to the Japanese Navy, but they will never agree to sell it to the people in Shanghai at such a price. If Chen Mingxiang does this, he will inevitably be counterattacked. The key is that he has no suitable excuse. Although the opportunity is good,
But it can't be used.
"Mingxiang, you want the grain merchants to secretly transport the rations ordered by the navy to the warehouse for storage in the middle of the night, and you also declare that you will increase the price to 2,000 yuan per stone. Why do I feel that you are trying to deceive people? Let me think about it.
, do you want to teach Bei Zeping a lesson?" Wang Zhen asked.
She heard the conversation at the banquet. Chen Mingxiang asked these speculators to transport 30,000 tons of white rice to his designated warehouse at night, keeping it strictly confidential. Whether the Japanese or others asked, he said that it was based on the price of 2,000 yuan.
The coupons are sold to Huatong Trading Company per stone, which clearly shows that there is a problem.
The fact that the Japanese Navy can spend millions of dollars to buy food these days must have something to do with the Army. The Navy and the Army will not deal with it. This is something that all businessmen in Shanghai know. When it comes to the Japanese Army, who dares to do more?
ask?
"In the case of extreme food shortage, if Bei Zeping found out that I was hoarding a large amount of food, he would naturally stir up trouble. He knew that the relationship between the major agencies in our garrison was very strong, and he would report me to the Consulate General in Shanghai or the garrison headquarters.
It’s useless, let alone the Gendarmerie Headquarters.”
"If he wants to take advantage of the food shortage in Shanghai to punish me, he must ask the agency director Shibayama Kenshiro to come forward, and the dispatched army headquarters will conduct an investigation. But in this way, he will offend more people, and it is not easy to dig a big hole at the moment.
, Let’s play games in a small pit first.” Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
"But have you ever thought about it, Kitazawa is an old spy of the Japanese intelligence agency. He will definitely not come forward to confront you directly. He must arrange other channels, and the effect of this trap will be greatly reduced." Wang Zhen said.
