In this way, he only needs to spend one piece to solve the telegram, and as for the processing fee of 20 yuan more for each piece of cloth and the first master, I think his future father-in-law can also understand him.

Just as Shao Nian was thinking about the follow-up, the telegram recorder on the opposite side asked him a few last questions: "Mr. name, contact address." ”

This is to prevent the telegraph office from contacting the sender if it finds any doubts during the transmission process.

After all these things were done, the recorder stuffed back the coins handed over by Shao Nianshi along with the payment slip, pointed to the charging window next to him with the eyes of a hillbilly and said, "Go, take the payment slip and pay the money over there." ”

After speaking, the recorder got up from his seat, took the list sent by Shao Nianshi, pushed open the door behind him, and walked to the exclusive newspaper room of the post office.

Leaving Lao Mao Shao Nian to sniff and obediently queue up at the window on the side to pay.

If you want to say that this matter really doesn't depend on him, who let the application for the telephone of the printing and dyeing factory just be approved.

The location of the Qingcheng Telephone Office was originally part of the postal business.

Now they work in the backyard of the main business hall where the telegraph is sent.

In addition to the opening cost of four oceans per month, the printing and dyeing factory also has to bear the comprehensive telephone charges for answering and outgoing calls.

But even then, it would take a week for their turn to be successfully pressed.

After all, there are only two groups of door-to-door installation teams, and this kind of thing that only pure skilled workers can do, not everyone can come to help with the service.

The emerging business of telephone, with its popularity, has gradually become popular in Qingcheng.

There are already more than 120 telephones applied for in the business hall, and the installation time can be scheduled until May or June.

If it weren't for Chen Jiefu's people to find some connections in the city hall, if the phones in their factory were installed according to the normal process, I am afraid they would have been ranked last.

Shao Nianshi thought about it while paying the fee, and when he handed the payment slip back to the window and confirmed that the telegram had been sent, he settled down and turned around and left the place where he would often deal with in the future.

Shao Nianshi, who left the post office, was not in a hurry to return to the factory, he staggered to the chamber of commerce of his first family in Qingcheng, and after some time, he walked out of it.

Not long after Shao Nian left the Chujia Chamber of Commerce, he saw three or four fifteen or sixteen-year-old men running out of it.

Two of them ran towards the Jiaoao Daily office as if they had the same goal.

The remaining one took the ox cart of the big cart shop at the south gate of Qingcheng to report in the direction of the southern suburbs.

As for Shao Nianshi, who arranged the stalking, he walked to the location of the Bohai Hotel alone.

In the Chujia Chamber of Commerce just now, Shao Nianshi used his identity to inquire with the person in charge here about the merchants who came and went.

The accommodation of those big merchants who came from the three eastern provinces and the three northwestern provinces to hoard cloth was immediately inquired about by Shao Nianshi.

In the case that Qingcheng has a preliminary grasp of the basic market, Shao Nianshi feels that it is necessary to talk about future cooperation with those foreign big customers.

For these second-class cloth merchants, what prompted them to come as far as Qingcheng to eat large quantities of fabric?

It's nothing more than two words: interests.

The underdevelopment of light industry in the inland provinces, coupled with the high prices brought about by the topography and internal problems, contributed to the emergence of such merchants.

They hoarded cloth from Qingdao at a price of 150 pieces, all the way to the west, all the way to the north, and some of the connections did not even need to return to their own cities, which could dump their hoarded fabrics along the way.

There is only one fundamental reason, and you only need to look at the price of cloth in these two places to understand.

In the three western provinces, the price of a piece of cloth is 233 yuan, but the price of a piece of cloth in the three eastern provinces is even more exaggerated, and the price of a piece of cloth can be sold at a high price of 280 yuan.

Why is that?

The three eastern provinces with Zhang Dashuai should be more stable and prices more peaceful, right?

In fact, it depends on what it is.

After Zhang Dashuai's pro-Japanese policy came and Lushun and Jinzhou were handed over to the Japanese for development and cooperation, the textile industry of the three eastern provinces was hit and annexed like never before.

The Japanese side used a series of means such as low-price dumping, armed intimidation, high-price mergers and acquisitions, and death threats to complete the merger and monopoly of the textile industry in the three eastern provinces.

In just three years, none of the textile factories in the three eastern provinces are owned by Chinese.

They either merged with Japanese businessmen or had Japanese shares, but most of them were factories built by the Japanese side with their own investment.

In fact, there is nothing difficult to accept that the factory and the fabric are completely monopolized by the Japanese side, after all, they still belong to different chambers of commerce and associations.

However, after the Japanese completed the unification of the textile industry in the three eastern provinces, these trading companies, which had been fighting separately, completed the unification of prices under the interference of the Japanese military.

Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, these three provinces are very abruptly a cloth price release and monitoring association.

New fabrics are released on a quarterly basis, and must be priced at the prices set by the association.

The primary color cloth, knitted yarn, various floral cloths and high-grade silk of the three provinces are all sold at one price.

From the ex-factory price of the textile mill to the retail price of the cloth shop and tailor shop in each city, all the sales methods are uniformly priced.

In addition, in the three eastern provinces, if it is discovered that some people do not regard the interests of the state and reduce the sales price without authorization, then their industries and families in Japan will be severely attacked by the Japanese military government.

As soon as this official policy was implemented, the common people of the entire three eastern provinces could only buy cloth at a high price of a few dimes higher than that of the three other provinces.

For those fellows who may not even have been out of the province, they can only knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs.

And who are the people who dare to hoard and dump cloth in the three eastern provinces?

I don't believe it personally.

When Shao Nianshi attracted the hotel manager to introduce him through the huge benefits of the permanent VIP room in the Bohai Hotel for ten years, Shao Nianshi finally saw how calm he was, and he was also surprised by the person opposite, and he didn't know how to speak.

Who would have thought that this big merchant who hoarded cloth was very surprised, he was particularly familiar with Shao Nianshi to the sofa opposite him, and said to the waiter who came and went with a tray beside him: "Come, give my young friend a stimulating Bloody Mary, this wine is called the most exciting taste of the cocktail, I think it must be suitable for you young people." ”

But Shao Nian's focus could not be placed on the wine.

Because after learning about the current situation of the cloth market in the three eastern provinces, he was even more shocked after seeing this person.

Without him, this person he had dealt with in Jeseong, and at that time, the first master was the introducer, and the two had a simple contact.

But at that time, that person was wearing a military uniform under Zhang Dashuai.

Look at the rank on the shoulder, but the rank of a lieutenant colonel and staff officer.

How did Uncle Chu introduce him at that time?

Deputy staff officer of the logistics department of Zhang Dashuai's headquarters.

It's only been a year since they last met, why is it that in less than half a year, this person has become the largest cloth hoarder in the three eastern provinces?

Therefore, before the wine came up, Shao Nianshi leaned in front of the other party: "Staff Officer Zhang, who are you?"

Adhering to the fact that he is also an acquaintance, this Zhang Dashuai's own family raised his eyebrows with a smile: "Zhang Dashuai's third adjutant, the head of the logistics and procurement department is my cousin." ”

Okay, needless to say, it's all understood.

The Japanese did these things under Zhang Dashuai's nose, and it turned out that this marshal who only focused on military affairs was clear.

Now that they are in close cooperation with Japan, what will Zhang Dashuai, who needs to buy arms from the Japanese, do about the behavior of the Japanese to accumulate money on his territory?

Turn a blind eye and do you think you don't know?

According to Zhang Dashuai's character, he must not be able to sleep because he was taken advantage of!

Therefore, on the basis of not turning his face with the Japanese, he came up with such a bad idea.

While digging into the corners of the Japanese walls, by the way, they are collecting money for their affiliated troops.

Now, I understand that Zhang Dashuai is the only one who dares to play like this in the three eastern provinces.

Now that he knew about it, the young businessman smiled with a smile of ambition.

"Staff Officer Zhang, no, you can't reveal your identity," Shao Nianshi took the initiative to move his butt to the other party's place: "I'll still call Staff Officer Zhang Boss Zhang." ”

"I happen to have a great bargain here, I originally wanted to find a reliable collaborator, but now I met Boss Zhang, so I really met the most suitable person. ”

"I have 200 pieces of German cloth that are of a higher quality than Japanese fabric, but the price is ten pieces cheaper than the price of Japanese fabric. ”

"If Boss Zhang can eat all the goods, then I can give Boss Zhang this number. Speaking of this, Shao Nian stretched out two hands, one hand compared to one, and one hand to three, which means that one hundred and three can be taken off to the other party.

In order to increase the attractiveness of this batch of fabrics, Shao Nianshi followed at the end: "When writing out the list of library vouchers, I will write to Boss Zhang how about the ex-factory prices of most of our textile factories in Qingcheng?"

"This morning, the wholesale price of the cloth market is 155, you returned to the Northeast, you saw the list to report to the accountant, right?"

After saying this, Shao Nian and Staff Officer Zhang looked at each other, and the two of them didn't even need to say a word to understand that this 25 yuan empty profit was directly counted on Staff Officer Zhang's personal account.

5,000 yuan inside and out, did not lose the public at all, and made a windfall in his private pocket.

If you don't agree, you're a real fool.

At this time, it happened that the waiter put a cocktail with a triangular goblet in front of the two, which caused the staff officer Zhang to smile, pushed the glass to Shao Nian, and accepted the business.

"Well, it's only 200 pieces, do you know what my brother's mission is this time?"

When Staff Officer Zhang compared a number of 1, Shao Nianshi's pupils directly dilated.

He immediately turned his mind and asked Staff Officer Zhang: "Boss Zhang, are you going to stay in Qingcheng for a while more on this trip?"

"I heard that the Pingkangli brothel on Huangdao Road has a top Oiran coming. ”

"It is said that he is a top student of Northeastern University, and he has drifted here because of the disaster at home. ”

"Boss Zhang is also a fellow villager in the Northeast, but he has to rescue this weak and helpless girl from the fire pit. ”

"Why don't I pull a thread for Boss Zhang, you stay in Qingcheng for a few more days, talk more than that poor woman, you have to be enlightened before you can bring her back to her hometown, right?"

"Oh?" said Counselor Zhang.

The most kind man, the most righteous and courageous, to save the weak women from the dire situation, is what he is most willing to do.

Hearing this, Staff Officer Zhang smiled happily: "Then this poor girl has to be convinced." ”

"After all, I also came here with a mission. ”

"In this way, I can stay in Qingcheng for another five days, and once the five days pass, no matter if you can give me a thousand or two hundred, I will go back to the northeast. ”

Seeing that Staff Officer Zhang gave the bottom, Shao Nianshi was not hypocritical, he slapped his hand on the glass coffee table and returned: "Okay, it's decided." ”

"Ming'er, I'll go to Boss Zhang's room to find you, and I'll take you directly to the beautiful girl's place to have a look. ”

"As for the rest, you wait for my news, whether it's more or less, aren't we all partners!"

Hearing that Shao Nianshi was so good at doing things, the staff officer Zhang shook the glass in his hand at Shao Nianshi, Shao Nianshi picked up the cocktail that the other party invited him to drink in a timely manner, and after gently colliding with Staff Officer Zhang, he poured this glass of happy cooperation into his throat in one gulp.

Thanks to Shao Nian's drinking amount, when he walked out of the Bohai Hotel, his face was only slightly red.

When he was walking alone on the street, wondering if it was a little inappropriate to go to the business where the first family was located to disturb the housekeeper, a greeting sounded in a dark alley behind him.

"Boss Shao!"

Shao Nianshi turned around suddenly, and saw that it was the little radish head he was going to come out of the Chamber of Commerce to help run errands.

Shao Nian was extremely surprised by the behavior of these children still standing on the street at this time, and he didn't care about why these three people were squatting here, so he only looked around the street first.
