Chapter 1053 The situation suddenly rises five
On November 2, 11th year of the Republic of China, Lieutenant General Yokoyama, commander of the 11th Army of the Japanese dispatched army, commanded the 3rd Division, the 13th Division, the 39th Division, the 68th Division and the 116th Division. They began the Wuling Battle according to the scheduled plan. The operational goals of the Japanese divisions provided by the Military Affairs Bureau to the Sixth War Zone Command were accurately verified.
On November 4, Wang Jingwei, the head of the Wang puppet government, took Zhou Nihai and other important personnel to arrive in Tokyo, Japan on a special plane to attend the Six-Nation Conference held by Japanese Cabinet Prime Minister Hideki Tojo.
At this time, a lively scene appeared in the Shanghai market. All the cloth shops and cotton shops carried the cloth outside the door and set up long stalls. The people in the Shanghai market rushed to buy cotton cloth, buying a few feet of money for less money and buying a few feet of money for more money.
In order to quickly dump the goods in hand and not be forcibly purchased by the Japanese and puppets, the bosses of the cotton cloth store also gritted their teeth and gave low prices. Doing so can at least get cash. It used to be more than ten yuan per foot, but now it is five yuan and six yuan per foot. This price is much stronger than the purchase price.
A piece of cloth is calculated based on more than 33 meters, which is about 100 feet. The purchase price of Japanese and puppets is 375 yuan per piece of cloth, and each foot of cloth is equal to three yuan and seventy-five cents, which is too deceptive.
"Director Chen, you are the deputy secretary-general of the Chamber of Commerce and the deputy director of the police station of the municipal government. He was commissioned by the Consulate General in Shanghai and the municipal government to assist in the forced acquisition of cotton cotton yarn. Now merchants are taking this method to fight against each other. I hope you can stop it in time and not let the situation worsen!" Nie Lusheng, director of the Chamber of Commerce and Commerce and Gauze Office, came to the police station office and said.
This office was established to force the acquisition of cotton cotton yarn. Nie Lusheng is also the owner of a famous spinning mill in Shanghai. He has a deep qualification. Now he saw his peers getting loopholes and disrupting the work of the office. He was worried that he would be blamed by the Japanese, so he ran to Chen Mingxiang.
"Director Nie, my police station is only responsible for implementing the government orders that have been issued. I can't do whatever I want. I received the official document and when will I take measures against the cotton merchants? Everyone bows their heads and doesn't look up. You can't push me into the fire pit!" Chen Mingxiang said with a cigarette in his mouth.
"You don't know the efficiency of the people in the Jinling government. Chairman Wang went to Japan for a meeting, and Minister Zhou Nihai also followed him. There was no one who presided over the meeting. Chairman Wang took him back and held the meeting. In a blink of an eye, it took a week. There were 259 cloth shops in the city, and thousands of pieces of cloth were required a day. The number of cotton cloth reported was only more than 27,000, and in a blink of an eye, the fraction was gone!" Nie Lusheng was anxious.
"The sky fell and there was a tall one. Why are you anxious? This is a mistake in Jinling. What does it have to do with us? If there is any problem, I can't find you. Go back to the office to have a big tea. When will I download the documents and come to me again!" Chen Mingxiang said calmly.
Nie Lusheng did not dare to bother about this anymore. He knew that Huatong Trading Company was also secretly purchasing cotton cloth, and it was a high price. In fact, Chen Mingxiang did not deliberately conceal his intentions, just to take the opportunity to hoard cotton cloth, not afraid of people knowing it.
Faced with this openly destroying the forced acquisition, neither the municipal government nor the Consulate General in Shanghai pretended not to see it, and the Commercial Commission naturally did not dare to care about Chen Mingxiang's affairs.
"Director Chen, I have another small thing to come to you this time. A friend of mine entrusted me to sell a batch of cotton cloth and cotton yarn to Huatong Trading Company in private, each with a quantity of one thousand pieces."
"He asked for a price not high. Twenty cotton yarns cost 15,000 yuan each, and the faucet muslins cost 12,000 yuan each. I hope to meet you. I don't know what you mean?" Nie Lusheng said.
"You have to meet me for such a small amount of goods. There is no need to do this. Let him contact the people from Huatong Trading Company directly, deliver the goods to the warehouse for inspection, and then go to the finance department to get the money directly. Your friend's goods are probably not goods from normal channels, right?" Chen Mingxiang said.
Huatong Trading Company opens its doors to acquire, not afraid of you asking for money, but fear of you losing goods, and has always maintained a good reputation. In this case, this person has to interview himself, and there must be a reason.
But Chen Mingxiang's current status is not something that anyone can see just by wanting it. Two thousand pieces of goods were valued by him when Huatong Trading Company was just open. Now, an ordinary salesperson can handle it. There is no problem with the goods, and there is absolutely no problem with the money.
In fact, Chen Mingxiang just smelled it with his nose and knew that this batch of goods must be from the Shanghai suburbs' intelligence station. It was slowly purchased through the relationship between the Qinggang. The headquarters of the bureau had already generated electricity and told about this.
Pan Qiwu was also worried that he had no view of the overall situation and pointed out this matter specifically. As long as it was shipped to the Kuomintang-controlled area, the direct stations would provide assistance. Cotton cloth and cotton yarn were the most in short supply. The Military Affairs Bureau could not abandon this huge profit. Special coupons and smuggling were the two main sources of funds.
If you want to be a qualified webmaster of Type A, you must clearly distinguish the interests. He helps with goods, and he also has good returns and can also make a good impression. Boss Dai gave him so many privileges and is willing to cultivate him. He must show off his broad mind. Anyway, there is no loss.
"You are right. These goods were hoarded by my friend in private. He meant that he had to go to the National Territory. If it flowed to another place, once the Japanese found out, the subsequent things would be very troublesome." Nie Lusheng said.
It was obvious that his friend also knew that the quantity of this order of goods was too small and he might not be able to see Chen Mingxiang, so he told him about his request in advance.
This reason cannot be miscalculated. Chen Mingxiang’s transactions are wholesale rather than retail. No matter how many goods suddenly pour in in the city in the occupied area, it may immediately attract attention.
Chen Mingxiang is not worried about the Japanese holding them accountable, but the problem is that the party who sells them is worried! Maybe there will be something else involved because of this matter!
"I'll disappear. Tell him that the goods are normally stored in the warehouse and the full amount. Huatong Trading Company's goods have always been to the Kuomintang-controlled area. The prices there are high and I get the most benefits. Only fools will digest the goods elsewhere." Chen Mingxiang said.
He didn't want to have any involvement with the people at the Shanghai Suburban Intelligence Station, so he dared to reach his own territory. He really thought that the enemies were all bullish?
This is not because the Shanghai suburb intelligence station is out of trouble, but because of its own safety, it is just about the goods involved, and no one can do anything to him. If it is involved in the Military Control Commission, it may have a negative impact on its "image".
