Chapter 57 Eat both ends

"Mr. Frederick, I'll talk about this later. Do you know what kind of nature I have in Huatong Trading Company?" Chen Mingxiang asked.

"Mr. Chen, please rest assured. I have always been worthy of my friends in my work. Every business will leave you with enough kickbacks. No one can check this kind of private exchange." Frederick said with a smile.

Chen Mingxiang is just the head of the translation department of the Special Agent Headquarters. He has no background or power. How could he be authorized by the Gendarmerie Command to smuggle banned goods into the Kuomintang-controlled area without any obstacles?

All fools know that the manipulator behind this Huatong Trading Company must be Japanese. In other words, Chen Mingxiang is just a worker and he will not do anything that is not good.

Paralyzed, who said that Germans are old-fashioned in their work? Come forward and I promise not to beat you to death!

Thinking about it, foreign businessmen who can travel across the ocean to a new and unfamiliar environment and start from scratch have absolutely flexible thinking methods. They are probably so skilled that they can no longer be more proficient in kickbacks.

"Great. I will leave this ink purchase contract to your company. I can't be too outrageous in terms of price. It's 10% higher than the market price. I won't let my partners suffer losses, and this is a long-term transaction."

"After the New Year, my company will add vehicles, such as your transportation trucks and cars, and you will naturally have to do after-sales service." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

"Mr. Chen said it was two businesses, so I don't know what else I need?" Frederick asked.

"That's right. Now is the war period. Western medicine is an absolute strategic material, but ordinary people also have to see a doctor and take medicine. I am planning to buy sulfonamide, quinine, aspirin tablets and other medicines, and I also need medical equipment. Does your prescription have such channels?"

"This is my own business, so please support me. Of course, the price is easy to discuss. I can pay the full payment in advance. I believe the credibility of German merchants." Chen Mingxiang said.

"There are indeed channels, medical devices, but not only does these Western medicines cost more than gold, it is still difficult to get. The quantity is a bit difficult. Let me think of a solution!" Frederick said.

The ink is prepared for government newspapers in Shancheng. The purchase price is increased by 10%, and it can be increased by 50% when sold. But it doesn’t matter to government newspapers. What is this money?

The key is that you have money and have no place to buy it. It is inconvenient to transport it in the rear. You have to pass through the Japanese war zone in the middle. Foreign companies are unwilling to do such a business.

Chen Mingxiang is not trying to make money from the national crisis, but does not have enough support for the interests. Special High School will not support him so much. He will do special things in special times.

"Kunyu, why are you here?" Chen Mingxiang just arrived at the office and saw Lu Kunyu and Zhou Haiwen chatting.

"Haiwen called me and said you were going to open a pharmacy and clinic and wanted to recruit doctors and nurses. I'll come and see you. I heard you were going to a foreign company to discuss business." Lu Kunyu said, picking up the teapot and pouring him a cup of hot tea.

"I went to talk to the Germans about a batch of ink and planned to send it to the territory of the Kuomintang-controlled area. This was ordered by some newspapers and printing factories. Haiwen, you can pay money from the accountant according to this order and send the deposit to others. You can load it in the afternoon. The Germans are very efficient in doing things." Chen Mingxiang sat down and said.

"Okay, I think I'm annoying here. You guys talk slowly, I'm going to work." Zhou Haiwen said with a jealousy.

He has always had ideas about Lu Kunyu, but unfortunately, the fallen flowers are intentionally flowing and flowing water is ruthless. Lu Kunyu has always treated him as his brother, and Chen Mingxiang is the first to get the moon. Relying on the professor's favor back then, he has long occupied the girl's heart.

"Why don't you take the bag I bought for you?" Chen Mingxiang asked.

"My mother was happy to hear that you were willing to spend so much money for me, but my father criticized me hard, and even you said that the people outside starved to death on the streets. This money can buy more than a ton of rice, and how many families can be saved from hunger. It is a waste to buy clothes and bags!"

"All the money you gave me was confiscated. I said that girls should develop the habit of being frugal. I don't know yet, so I must have sent it to my brother again. It's such a bottomless pit!" Lu Kunyu said angrily.

Lu Kunyu's brother studied in the United States. It was not easy to work in a special environment. He often needed to send money from his family to maintain his studies, which was the largest expenditure project of the Lu family.

"Not it? It's true? Speaking of which, your family's conditions are OK. Your father has been a professor for the past few years and has been treated very well. Do you have to confiscate the money for you, a girl?" Chen Mingxiang felt incredible.

"I have many relatives. Survival in the war years is not easy. In addition to sending my brother tuition and living expenses, he also has to take care of several families for dinner. My father's little translation fee is dropping into the bucket, so he is also worried!" Lu Kunyu said.

Chen Mingxiang shook his head and opened his safe. Lu Kunyu walked to him and took a look. His eyes suddenly widened. There was a square of gold bars and fiat currency, and a bundle of paper bags. This was the emergency activity fee prepared by Chen Mingxiang for the company. It would not work without cash.

"It is indeed inappropriate to give you too much money. In this way, I will give you 600 French dollars a month in the future. Half of it is your family's living expenses. You can pay it and half as your living expenses. Remember, keep this matter confidential. Don't tell your father about living expenses. I can't help others. I have to take care of your family." Chen Mingxiang said.

It’s not that I don’t want to help refugees, they are all my brothers and sisters, and now they have a little ability. But what a brainless behavior is that to do charity at the Agent Headquarters and Special High School?

"Senior brother, since you are in the ink business with a German foreign company, our newspaper also has related households in Suzhou who want to buy ink, do you think of a solution?" Lu Kunyu said.

The boss of the News Daily is a patriot. After the battle to defend the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the whole family moved to Shancheng. The person responsible for managing and managing these daily affairs was Zheng Tonghui, the editor-in-chief, so this place became a group of the underground party in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, an important place to conceal the identity.

All the journalists and staff, not underground parties, are absolutely patriotic, full of hatred for the Japanese and puppets. In such an environment, coupled with Zheng Tonghui's indoctrination, the oppression and poisoning of the people in the Shanghai market by the Japanese and puppet traitors, naturally became progressive youths.

The reason for coming to Chen Mingxiang's office this time was the task assigned by Zheng Tonghui, who used the special power of Huatong Trading Company to transport a batch of propaganda ink to the People's Army in northern Jiangsu.
