Tungsten ore is a material that is prohibited and not allowed to be exported by the Japanese army, in fact, the metallurgical level of China cannot make use of the finished tungsten ore at all.

But the European and American powers could.

Japan also needs it, without tungsten gold, the performance and life of the weapon will be greatly reduced, which will increase the cost of the war, and for Japan, which is already short of steel, it is undoubtedly the most uncomfortable.

The main source of steel in Japan is the "scrap steel" sold to it by the United States, but in fact, these "scrap steel" are just excess production capacity in the United States, and if they cannot find a buyer for these excess production capacity, their domestic steel companies will go bankrupt.

The bankruptcy of steel companies will lead to the loss of many workers, the slow economic recovery, and so on.

These are digressions, but Japan also needs tungsten ore, and tungsten gold is essential to improve the performance and longevity of weapons.

This is an extremely important strategic material.

Naturally, this kind of strategic material cannot be exported, and once it is discovered, it will lose its head.

However, if the person who smuggled the export is the Japanese military, it will be a different matter, although Chen Miao is not considered the Japanese military, he is behind the support and permission of the special high school to do this business.

Without the support of the special high class, he would not be able to get the supply, and this business would be impossible.

However, even so, it is not possible to register the transportation certificate directly in the name of "tungsten ore", which is expressly prohibited, so it can only be changed to another name, and coal or other ores are not so conspicuous.

As long as there is a "permit to move out of materials" issued by the Navy's Seventh Release, no one will be embarrassed by general water and land transportation, and even if someone wants to rub oil, it will be over to give some benefits.

This line has been in operation for some days, and the levels on the line have basically been cleared, how can such a thing happen?

Especially after the goods arrived at Wusongkou and went ashore, they were seized.

That's a bit unusual.

However, it is not surprising that this kind of thing happened, Chen Miao is also a person who has seen the wind and waves, smuggling "tungsten ore", ordinary people are caught, it must be a loss of head, besides, ordinary people do not have that way.

There is No. 76 behind him, Lin Shiqun, as well as Mei Organ and Special High School.

Doing business with the Germans was tacitly approved by the Mei organ, otherwise, he would not be able to find out the source of goods, so he really investigated it and found out to their own people first.

First of all, you have to figure out what is going on before you can take countermeasures, and taking a rash action will only make the situation slide in the worst direction.

"Secretary Zhuang, I'll go to Erdaomen to pick up someone for me, his name is Harry, and he is the representative of Siemens in Shanghai." Chen Miao called Zhuang Ying and gave an order.

"Yes, seated, how long is a while?"

"Five minutes." Chen Miao calculated the time of Harry's call and said.

……

"Dear Sanshui, we meet again." Harry was still very enthusiastic, and gave Chen Miao a big hug as soon as they met.

"Harry, this is in my office, can you be reserved, you don't look like a German at all." Chen Miao reluctantly pushed the other party away.

"Is your office nice, bright and spacious?" Chen Miao invited Harry to sit down, and instructed Zhuang Ying to make a cup of coffee and bring it in.

"The coffee is not bad, South American coffee beans, Sanshui, you are a good secretary, very tasty." Harry said with some reluctance to look at Zhuang Ying's distant back.

"Chinese, very traditional." Chen Miao said with a pun.

"Oh, okay." Harry has been in China for many years, and of course he understands what Chen Miao meant, so he immediately changed the subject and said, "There is one thing, I have to tell you personally, someone is interested in our business." ”

"Oh?" Chen Miao frowned slightly, what he and Harry did were forbidden strategic material smuggling business, those who could do it and dared to do this kind of business were basically not ordinary people.

"Don't worry, we work well together and won't change course easily." Harry said with a smile.

"In other words, if the other party has better conditions than me, you will choose to cooperate with them instead?" Chen Miao groaned.

"I didn't say that, but for economic reasons, I think it's going to change the minds of some of the people up there." Harry said earnestly.

"What kind of terms do they offer?"

"The supply is sufficient, how much you want, in addition, the price is at least 20% cheaper, and you can accept fiat currency or customs bonds." Harry said.

Trading with Chen Miao, in addition to the US dollar, only accepts gold and silver hard currency, fiat currency or anything, and does not accept anything, which basically excludes the risk that paper money may plummet, and the pricing is still linked to the US dollar.

Because Chen Miao has mastered the goods, he has the pricing power, and now that there is one more person with the goods in his hands to compete, Harry and the German intelligence agencies behind him have the right to choose.

"Harry, are you going to ask me to lower the price or give up the previous settlement request?" Chen Miao asked, he is really not afraid, whether to do this business or not, he really doesn't care, he doesn't care about the profit from smuggling, you know, in essence, this is selling his country's resources, and it is also a cheap sale.

He wasn't willing to do it unless it was necessary.

"Sanshui, I hope you can make some concessions on the previous conditions, in that case, I can go back and tell the above, after all, we cooperate very well, and you are a very trustworthy person." Harry said sincerely.

Doing business is not just about making money or who is cheap, but it needs to be considered in the long run, Chen Miao is a stable supplier after all.

And the strength of the new force that intervened is still unclear.

"Harry, this is not for me to decide alone, I need to consult with my partner before I can give you an answer."

"Okay, I'll wait for your reply." Harry nodded, he didn't want to force Chen Miao too much, after all, the relationship between the two sides has been very harmonious so far.

"I'll send you."

"No, just let that beautiful secretary send me." Harry said with some shamelessness.

Although Chen Miao's face remained unchanged, he was still very uncomfortable in his heart, and he didn't need to use a beauty trick yet, so he said, "Secretary Zhuang is busy with other things." ”

"Oh, okay." Harry shrugged his shoulders and said in a slightly regretful tone.

……

Seeing Harry away, Zhuang Ying knocked on the door and came in: "Seat, in fact, I can go and communicate with this Mr. Harry, maybe I can get some information?" ”

"No, I don't need to sell my own subordinates in exchange for news." Chen Miao directly refused, it is impossible for a person like Harry to marry a Chinese wife.

Zhuang Ying pursed her lips slightly, a little moved, if she was either Ding Mohan or Lin Shiqun, even if she said no, she would still acquiesce to it.

There is no direct refusal like Chen Miao, there is no room at all.

"Okay, go to work, this matter has nothing to do with you, don't mention it again." Chen Miao saw that her pestle was not moving in front of her, and scolded lightly.

"Yes, seated." Zhuang Ying nodded and agreed.

……

Putting down the pen in his hand, Chen Miao's heart suddenly became enlightened, this is someone prying his own business, in Shanghai, there are not many people with this ability and ability.

If it were Japanese, then let Sakurako Ikeuchi solve it, this business is not his alone, and when there is a problem, the shareholder who gets half of the profit is naturally obliged to solve the problem in the operation.

If it weren't for the Japanese behind their backs, then there would be no need for Sakurako Ikeuchi to come forward, so wouldn't it seem that he, the head of the inspectorate at No. 76, was too incompetent?

It seems that the "tungsten ore" was detained, and the black hand behind it was the gang of people who did business with Harry with themselves.

Who has the power to make the Japanese detain their goods?

After thinking about it, I didn't have a clue for a while.

"Chen Chuzao, the director is calling, the earliest train will arrive in Shanghai tomorrow."

"Got it."

Lin Shiqun will come back early tomorrow morning, and it is obvious that he does not want to participate in a series of activities after the ceremony, and he must feel that Nanjing is not safe, or return to his hometown in Shanghai.

"Notify the car team, arrange two bulletproof cars, and notify Captain Wu of the guard corps to send a team of people to be on standby at any time." Chen Miao commanded.

"Understood."

……

"Third brother, I have inquired, it was not the Japanese who seized our cargo ship, but the Shanghai Municipal Government's Marine Police Corps, which seized it in the name of the Japanese Maritime Anti-Smuggling Team." Chen Miao wanted to go back to "Lin" to understand the situation, but he didn't expect Wu Tianlin to run back to No. 76 to report to him first.

"Marine Police Corps, we usually talk to them about the well water and not the river water, why do they embarrass us this time?" Chen Miao asked strangely.

"I heard that they have recently been jointly cracking down on the maritime smuggling trade, and our cargo ship happened to collide, although there was a 'material transportation permit', but the goods were not registered on the permit, so they were seized and towed into the military port of Wusongkou." Wu Tianlin explained.

"How can I get it back?"

"It may take a sum of money to clear it up."

"How much?"

"Three thousand yen."

"So much?" Chen Miao frowned slightly, how much can he earn from this ship of tungsten ore? Three thousand yen, this is all the profit put into it.

"Third brother, this batch of goods will be delivered in three days, and if the quantity is not right, it will be difficult for Mr. Harry to explain." Wu Tianlin said.

"Are you sure you can redeem the money if you take it?"

"It should be fine." Wu Tianlin thought for a moment and nodded, "Those Japanese Navy anti-smuggling teams are also people, how can they spend all day drinking on the shore if they don't have money?" ”

"Okay, get the goods back first, deliver them on time, and I'll take care of the following things." Chen Miao nodded and agreed to bribe the Japanese with money.

"Then I'll go, and try to get them to let the boat go as soon as possible." Wu Tianlin got the order and left in a hurry.

Chen Miao felt that there was something wrong with this matter, if the other party was intentionally targeted, it would definitely not be the only move, there would definitely be a follow-up.

Shopping malls are like battlefields, if someone really wants to pry away their business, they will definitely start from their own reputation, and if they can't deliver the goods within the specified time, they will be in breach of contract.

Will the business continue at that time?
