Chapter 654: Seize the Opportunity

"These Japanese invaders are simply inhumane, in a week, the grain ration only gives each person more than two catties of rice, which is just enough to drink porridge, do they have to let the Shanghai market starve everywhere to be willing?" Wang Zhen walked back and forth in the living room angrily.

Of course, a person of Chen Mingxiang's status cannot lack food, and the Social Affairs Bureau, the Foreign Affairs Office, the Security Headquarters, the Inspection Team, the Special Service Headquarters, and the Public Concession Ministry of Industry Bureau, these institutions alone can receive several portions of rice!

There is definitely no shortage of rice in the secret service headquarters, and there is no shortage of rice in the Qingxiang Committee, if you eat it yourself, Li Shiqun can send a ton with a phone call, not to mention that he can take the rations of the Japanese army, the military police headquarters, and the Marine Corps headquarters, there is no problem with this.

Chen Mingxiang has two Changmao rice shops in Shanghai, and the rice they sell is expensive, and it is completely the price of the black market, so he can only open for two to three hours a day, and he also scores 135 and 246.

The "explanation" to the Japanese that these two rice shops were used to supply the daily food consumption of the Gendarmerie Command and the Marine Corps Command, and it was also a fact, so they were not sued.

"Will the aggressor be humane? Otherwise, the two of us will start tonight, you will take a stick and I will take a brick, and kill a Japanese devil, you can save two catties of rations a day, at least 700 catties a year, and we will kill thirty in a month, right, how much food do we have to save? Chen Mingxiang said.

"Phew, did you talk like that? Will you be able to chat? I know it's useless to be angry, but these words suffocate me, and if I don't tell you, who will I talk to? Wang Zhen laughed angrily.

"The rationing has just begun, and the trend will get worse and worse, and it is not yet time to take some measures, although the words are a bit ugly, but this is the truth."

"Look, people are driven by hunger and can burst out with great power, but unfortunately, our Military Command Bureau does not have the ability to guide it." Chen Mingxiang said.

"You're saying the factory workers are going to strike because of this, right?" Wang Zhen said with a smile.

"Really, don't you understand that if a girl is too smart, she won't be liked by men, and you're not afraid of not finding her in-laws?" Chen Mingxiang rolled his eyes and said.

"Go aside, I can't find anyone to ask, you will be responsible for me! In the event of a strike like this, our military command organization will definitely stare at it, but the underground party organization has a great advantage, and even the committee and Boss Dai are afraid of their ability in this regard! ”

"Wait a minute, when the temperature is about the same, I'll go find Zheng Tonghui, he may have connections with the underground party workers' organizations, the Japanese army consumed huge materials during the war, and they are counting on the factories in Shanghai to provide them with war materials, and they will definitely not dare to kill." Wang Zhen said.

This girl is really Bingxue smart, she also saw the weakness of the Japanese army, not that she didn't dare to kill, but she couldn't kill people, and turned the Shanghai market into a mess, which obviously did not meet the intentions of the Japanese military department.

As long as the workers did not smash the machines and burn the factory, but went on a relatively mild strike to protest, the Japanese businessmen would definitely be anxious, and they would take the initiative to negotiate with the military.

"What you think of, people may not be unexpected, let's put it this way, when the time comes, if we don't get in touch, the underground party will inevitably take action, those officials of the Shancheng government look down on the workers from top to bottom, and the underground party treats them equally, and the gap is huge." Chen Mingxiang said.

Peasants, workers and university students, this is the basis for the underground party to take root, and the government of the mountain city is composed of capitalists and warlords, don't say anything to launch, it would be good if it was not rioted!

While the two were talking about this at home, the guard came to the living room to report that General Taiji Ota of the Central China Liaison Department of the Koya Academy had come to visit.

Chen Mingxiang knew that this old devil must have come for the mission of the Japanese military department, and those Japanese textile merchants must have put pressure on the Xingya Academy.

"If Your Excellency General has any orders, just give me a call, why bother to run in person, please come in quickly!" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile at Taiji Ota.

This is outside the door of the living room, the car can drive directly to the bottom of the steps, there is no need to welcome the gate, the area of the Marat villa is a bit large.

"Chen Jun, let me tell you the truth, the people of the Shanghai Branch of the Japan Textile Association, through their headquarters in Japan, protested to the Xingya Academy, thinking that the price you gave was too low, and even the cost price could not be reached, and they could not accept it, and asked Huatong Trading Company to raise the price."

"The military department is very dissatisfied with this matter, like you said, these imperial merchants are performing extremely badly, enjoying a lot of resources and conveniences provided by the military, but dropping the chain when they are needed."

"But military supply comes first, I was ordered to communicate with you, and the exchange of materials with Jiang Tong cannot be delayed, what are your better ideas?" Taiji Ota said.

After entering the door, he didn't even say a polite word, and directly talked about the exchange of materials, which shows that this problem is more urgent.

It was also revealed that the power of the Japanese chaebol was quite amazing, and even the military department had to compromise, and the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy received instructions from Tokyo, not only to increase the price of goods to Japanese businessmen, but also to complete the acquisition task with Chiang Tong, and it is estimated that Taiji Ota was also scolding in his heart.

"Your Excellency General, the exchange of goods between us and the Yamashiro government is mainly in the form of barter, and the depreciation of the fiat currency is very fast, and the price to the merchants of the empire is high, and the Huatong Trading Company will suffer losses, this matter, I need to report to General Kinoshita, the military police headquarters." Chen Mingxiang said.

Most of the time, the smuggling of the Huatong Trading Company and the Military Control Bureau used cotton yarn, faucet muslin, flower gauze, rubber tires, hardware, medicines, and other materials to exchange for strategic materials of the same value in the national control area, and the two sides sold the goods and then exchanged them for funds, so that everyone had higher profits, and when they simply used money to buy goods, they were only a few, and it depended on the actual demand.

But with the depreciation of the fiat currency, the prices in the Kuomintang area are rising, and if the Japanese merchants are offered high prices, the Huatong Trading Company will not be profitable.

There are restrictions on what price to purchase from the Guotong Region, what price to ship to the Shanghai market plus freight and profits, this is all restricted, and it is not a casual increase in price, the price of Japanese businessmen's goods is too high Chen Mingxiang does not buy, Chen Mingxiang's goods are sold at too high price, and Japanese businessmen do not accept it.

"Don't go to General Kinoshita, I talked to him before I came, and he resolutely refused to agree, thinking that the price you gave was reasonable, and if the purchase price was raised, it would be detrimental to the interests of the military."

"Chen Jun, this is the last time I have completed a mission for the military department in Huaxia, and when the Xingya Academy is abolished, I will return to China and become a reserve."

"I hope to get this done before I go back to Japan, and that's important to me. There is also a little convenience for the Central China Liaison Department of Xingya Academy, if you have any ideas to put forward, we will discuss the feasibility. Taiji Ota said.
