Chapter 655: Seize the Opportunity
I'm waiting for your words!
Chen Mingxiang naturally knew that the resources of Xingyayuan were extremely abundant, and this was the supreme ruling body of all Japanese forces in China, and he had long wanted to tear off a piece of meat.
"The price I give to the merchants in Jiangtong District is fixed, first of all, the purchase price is not impossible to mention, but the room for improvement will not be too big, twenty yarns are at most 4,500 yuan a piece, and a leading muslin cloth is up to 6,000 yuan, they have a lot of profit margins."
"Secondly, I need the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy to provide subsidies for my transactions to make up for my losses, with a subsidy of 2,000 legal dollars for a cotton yarn and 3,000 legal dollars for a cotton cloth." Chen Mingxiang said.
"Chen Jun, I can think of a way to this subsidy, but the specific amount is too big, right? Although it is true that the Xingya Yuan is in possession of some of the fiat currency confiscated by the Shanghai market, I cannot arbitrarily grant you the resources of the empire without a suitable reason. Taiji Ota said.
He thought that Chen Mingxiang was opening his mouth to blackmail the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy, and as the person in charge, he was indeed capable of doing it, but the problem was that when the Greater East Asia Province and the Xingya Institute were handed over, there would be problems with the accounts.
Of course, he is not a person who does not know how to be flexible, as long as there is a suitable reason, these words are the key, he hinted to Chen Mingxiang, if your reason is sufficient, it can also be operated.
"Your Excellency the General misunderstood what I meant, I don't have to take advantage of the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy, but only by doing this can I complete the task given to me by the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army, sixty percent."
"Compressing the number of Huatong Trading Company in half a year or even eight months to be completed in three months is a heavy pressure for me and the customers in Jiangtong District."
"They want to raise a large number of strategic materials in a short period of time, so they have to buy them at a high price, and the difference in price generated is to be counted on my head, if you give me half a year, I won't ask for a penny." Chen Mingxiang said.
The funds of the Military Command Bureau are too tight, and Boss Dai is a little worried, and the upper level has a problem, and the lower level of course has to solve the problem, and use this matter to make some money for the bureau headquarters, which will also reduce his guilt of smuggling for the Japanese, although this is a mission.
This reason is so powerful, no one can blame him, who is not convinced to complete this task by himself, is it a mule or a horse to come out for a walk!
"What if I want 100 percent completion?" Taiji Ota asked.
Entering the reserve is basically the same as retirement, but if he fulfills the instructions of the military department, the treatment is absolutely different, and more importantly, during his tenure as the head of the liaison department, he also has some small private actions, and if he is found out, the consequences will be very serious.
With the protection of the military department, it is different, no one can do anything to him, he can take the wealth he has looted in China and enjoy his old age comfortably at home.
"Businessmen pursue profits, in the face of absolute interests, businessmen dare to trample on all laws, in addition to the subsidy of fiat currency for textiles, I also need a hard currency."
"The amount of this transaction is too large, there are not so many materials available for trading in a short period of time on the market in Shanghai, and Japanese businessmen will not give too much cotton yarn and faucet muslin, and our Huatong Trading Company must come up with some cash."
"I hope that the Liaison Department will be able to pay a sum of dollars and gold, which accounts for half of the amount of cash payments, and the rest can be paid in fiat currency, and I am ninety percent sure that I will complete the target you have set." Chen Mingxiang said.
Huatong Trading Company's cash flow, because of the relocation of the textile factory, is obviously not enough for this task, and the Central China Liaison Department of Xingya Institute needs to pay in advance.
"I think it's worth it to really get so many strategic materials, this is not something that money can measure, I immediately asked the Xingya Academy for instructions to facilitate this matter as soon as possible, you can put this reason into words now and write an application to me." Taiji Ota said.
In fact, this report was dictated by him and written by Chen Mingxiang, and every word was carefully scrutinized to achieve the best results.
The two sides really talked happily, and Taiji Ota also had dinner at Marat Villa before returning with a "satisfactory application", this time it was a win-win situation.
"These Japanese keep saying that they are loyal to the emperor and serve the empire, and they are all bushido spirits when they open their mouths and close their mouths, but in such things as making money, they are no different from the traitors of Wang's puppet government." Wang Zhen said disdainfully.
"In the past, when he was in the military, it was estimated that he must have been like this, but after he became an administrative affairs officer, his way of thinking will change, and you expect a general who is going to be transferred to the reserve to serve the country, isn't it ironic?"
"Taiji Ota's biggest wish now is to make a sum of money for the elderly, and complete the handover smoothly, how many people can you see who can escape the temptation of gold dollars?"
"This is a good thing, I have obtained 50 percent profit growth for the Military Command Bureau, of which 20% is hard currency such as gold and dollars, Boss Dai will definitely be satisfied, you hurry up and send my intention to the bureau headquarters, stocking is the key." Chen Mingxiang said.
Wang Zhen understood what he meant, he would not leave a penny of the fiat currency subsidy and half of the payment, but the hard currency of the other half of the payment could only be given to the bureau headquarters of 20%, and the remaining 30% should be converted into legal tender, and at the same time, 30% of the hard currency was left in the direct station.
It's not that Chen Mingxiang is greedy, but that he has other uses, smuggling and trading is not so easy to do, and all aspects of the relationship must be dealt with.
Taiji Ota, who approved this fee and allocated the funds, must get a share of it, and the military police headquarters in Shanghai will also have to deal with such a large amount of purchases.
The gendarmerie stationed in Shanghai alone is not enough, all the gendarmerie of the transportation line must be assigned a little, and this huge network, no amount of silver is enough!
"You have also seen the message of the spring breeze, he not only solved the funding problem for the bureau headquarters, but more importantly, brought in a large amount of dollars and gold, I thought about it, this hard currency will stay in the bureau headquarters, and it cannot be used until the critical time, and the price of gold and dollars is rising every day, and it is really a loss as a fund at this time." Boss Dai said with a smile.
"This is taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese military is seriously depleted and urgently needs to replenish it, so much foreign exchange and gold have been produced, and the Japanese government's financial resources are similar to those of the Military Control Bureau, and they are all stretched, and they are reluctant to use foreign exchange if it is not for such a thing."
"I'm going to send a telegram to all the departments and count all the materials in the warehouse, and it is estimated that it will be more than enough to cope with this task."
"But in order to match the strategy of the spring breeze, I plan to send it to the Shanghai market according to the ratio of three, three or four, and the price should rise in the future." Mao Renfeng said.
"The Japanese are holding the fiat currency from the Shanghai Stock Exchange for the Central Reserve Bonds, and then come to the National Control Area to trade materials, thinking about this matter makes me feel aggrieved, but fortunately, this is temporary, and when the counterfeit Central Reserve Bills of the Military Control Bureau are printed, our situation will be much better." Boss Dai said.
