Chapter 654: Seize the Opportunity
"These Japanese invaders are simply inhumane. In a week, each person will only give more than two kilograms of rice, which is just enough to drink porridge. Do they have to let the hungry people in the Shanghai market be willing to be willing?" Wang Zhen walked back and forth in the living room with qi.
Of course, people with status like Chen Mingxiang cannot lack food. The Social Bureau, Foreign Affairs Office, Security Command, Inspection Team, Special Agent Headquarters, Public Concession Bureau. With these institutions alone, he can receive several portions of rice!
The agent headquarters must not be short of rice, and the Qingxiang Committee does not lack rice. If you eat it yourself, Li Shiqun can send a ton of it by phone, let alone he can take the Japanese rations, military police headquarters, and Marine Corps headquarters. There is no problem with this.
Chen Mingxiang has two Changmao rice shops in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The rice sold is very expensive and is completely black market price. In this way, it can only be open for two to three hours a day, and it also scores 1,35 and 2,46.
The "explanation" to the Japanese was that these two rice banks supply the daily food consumption of the Gendarmerie Command and the Marine Corps Command, and it was also a fact, so no one was sued.
"Does the invaders have human nature? Otherwise, starting tonight, if you hold a stick and I hold a brick, you can save two kilograms of food in a day, at least 700 kilograms a year. It's okay for us to kill thirty ones a month, so how much food will we save?" Chen Mingxiang said.
"Bah, is there anyone who says that you? Will you chat? I know it's useless to be angry, but these words have made me feel so bad that I won't tell you whom?" Wang Zhenqi smiled.
"The ORGIF is just beginning to be implemented, and the trend will get worse and worse. If you want to take some measures, it has not yet reached the right time. Although it is a bit ugly, this is the truth."
"Look at it, people can burst out with huge power driven by hunger. Unfortunately, our Military Affairs Bureau does not have this ability and cannot guide it." Chen Mingxiang said.
"You mean that the factory workers will strike because of this, right?" Wang Zhen said with a smile.
"Zhenzhen, don't you understand that if a girl is too smart, she will not be liked by men. Wouldn't you be afraid of not being able to find her husband's house?" Chen Mingxiang said with rolling his eyes.
"When I go there, I can't find anyone to ask for it, so you can take responsibility for it! Our Military Commission will definitely stare at the same time for such strikes, but the underground party organizations have great advantages. Even the Commissioner and Boss Dai are afraid of their abilities in this regard!"
"Wait first, when the temperature is almost the same, I go to find Zheng Tonghui. He may have contact with the underground party's workers' organization. The Japanese army consumed a huge amount of supplies during the war. When the factories in the Shanghai Stock Exchange provided them with war supplies, they would definitely not dare to start a large-scale killing." Wang Zhen said.
This girl is really smart. She also saw the weakness of the Japanese army. It was not that she dared not kill people, but that she could not kill people, turning the Shanghai market into a mess, which was obviously not in line with the intentions of the Japanese military.
As long as the workers did not smash the machines and burn the factory, they went on strike and protest relatively moderately, Japanese businessmen would definitely be anxious and would take the initiative to discuss with the military.
"They may not have thought of what you think of. Let's say that, if we don't contact us at that time, the underground party will inevitably take action. The officials of the Shancheng government look down at the workers from top to bottom, and the underground party treats them equally, so the gap here will be big." Chen Mingxiang said.
Farmers, workers and college students are all the foundations for the underground party to take root. The Shancheng government is composed of capitalists and warlords. It would be nice not to start anything, not to be rioted!
While the two were talking about this at home, the guards came to the living room to report that General Oda Taiji from the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingyayuan Institute came to visit.
Chen Mingxiang knew that this old Japanese devil must have come for the mission of the Japanese military, and those Japanese textile merchants must have put pressure on the Xingya Institute.
"If you have any instructions, just call me. Why bother to go there in person? Please come in quickly!" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile at Oda Taiji.
This is outside the living room door, the car can drive directly below the steps, and there is no need to meet the gate. The area of Mala Villa is a bit large.
"Chen Jun, let me be honest, people from the Shanghai Branch of the Japanese Textile Industry Association protested to Xingya Academy through their headquarters in Japan, believing that the price you gave was too low and even the cost price could not be reached. They could not accept it and asked Huatong Trading Company to increase the price."
"The military headquarters is very dissatisfied with this matter. As you said, these imperial merchants performed extremely poorly, enjoying the vast amount of resources and conveniences provided by the military, but they were disconnected when they needed them."
"But military supplies are the first priority. I am ordered to communicate with you. The exchange of materials with Jiangtong District cannot be delayed. What are your better ideas?" said Oda Taiji.
After entering the door, I didn’t even say anything polite, and just talked about material exchange. This shows that this problem is relatively urgent.
The words also revealed that the Japanese chaebol's power was quite amazing, and even the military headquarters had to compromise. The Central China Liaison Department of the Kyotoya Academy was ordered from Tokyo to not only increase the receipt price for Japanese merchants, but also complete the acquisition task with Jiangtong District. It is estimated that Oda Taiji was also cursing in his heart.
"God of General, our exchange of materials with the Yama Castle government is mainly in the form of barter, and the depreciation of the fiat currency is very fast. The price to the imperial merchants is high, and the Huatong Trading Company will suffer losses. I need to report this to General Kinoshita, the Gendarmerie Command," said Chen Mingxiang.
Most of the time, Huatong Trading Company and the Military Intelligence Bureau used cotton yarn, faucets, floral gauze, rubber tires, hardware, medicine and other materials to exchange for strategic materials of the National Government District of the same value. Both parties sold the goods and then exchanged them for funds. In this way, everyone had higher profits. When buying goods with money alone, it was only a few, and it depends on actual needs.
However, as the fiat currency depreciates, prices in the Kuomintang-controlled areas are rising. If you offer high prices to Japanese merchants, Huatong Trading Company will not make any profit.
There are restrictions on what price to purchase from the Kuomintang-controlled area, what price to ship to the Shanghai Stock Exchange plus freight and profit, and it is not possible to increase the price casually. The price of goods by Japanese merchants is too high. Chen Mingxiang will not buy them, and Chen Mingxiang's goods are too high, so Japanese merchants will not accept them.
"Don't go to General Kinoshita. I've talked to him before. He firmly refused to agree. He thought the price you gave was reasonable. If you raise the purchase price, it will harm the interests of the military."
"Jun Chen, this is the last time I have completed my mission for the military headquarters in China. When the Xingya Academy is abolished, I will return to China and be transferred to a reserve service."
"I hope to do this beautifully before returning to Japan, which is very important to me. The Central China Liaison Department of Xingyao Academy has some conveniences. If you have any ideas, we can discuss the feasibility." Oda Yaji said.
