Chapter 688: Dividends
Compared with the dividends of millions of dollars per month of Huatong Trading Company, the profit of the briquette industry is really too inconspicuous, not only Kinoshita Rongshi is a little disappointed, but the four section chiefs here are also a little cold, Chen Mingxiang went to North China this time, and the results are a little unsatisfactory!
But they can't complain, coal is really a doorway, coal mines are in North China, not in Central China, a ton costs hundreds of yuan, the briquette factory has water and electricity costs, labor costs and construction costs, plus the use of long-distance freight on cargo ships, it is really not very profitable, it is a long-term stable income.
Look, Chen Mingxiang has already fed this group of Japanese military policemen, and he doesn't even care about the dividend of 400,000 yuan now, but fortunately, he has other serial backers.
"Anyway, I still want to thank Chen Jun for bringing us a monthly income of 400,000 yuan for our military police headquarters, I have a treat at noon today, let's go to Yunhua Restaurant for a meal, there is a place supported by Chen Jun, I heard that Japanese food is also good." Kinoshita Eichi said.
"Your Excellency General, don't worry, I also finalized the sale of salt with the Jincheng Gendarmerie, the cost of buying a ton of coarse salt from the Changlu Salt Factory is 38 yuan, the salt tax is 300 yuan, and each ton transported to Central China can be sold for 3,200 yuan."
"Excluding freight, one ton is about 2,500 yuan, and my quota is 2,000 tons per month, which is equivalent to a profit of 5 million yuan. Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
The five high-ranking military police officers present suddenly came to their senses, and this is somewhat interesting, the sum of coal and salt is 1.4 million, which is equal to half of the dividends that Huatong Trading Company gives to the military police headquarters every month.
With the relocation of Chen Mingxiang's textile factory to Suzhou, the output of cotton yarn and cotton cloth was equal to zero, and the amount of smuggling from the Huatong Trading Company and the Guotong District also fell sharply.
At present, the military police headquarters only has more than 1 million yuan in dividends every month, and if this money is added, it can basically restore the previous amount, and it cannot but make people feel happy.
"I'll just say, with Chen Jun's ability, he will definitely make a big difference in North China, I'm right!" Tanaka Osa said with a smile.
"Chen Jun has indeed done a very good job, he actually thought of the salt resources in North China, the price of salt in Central China is rising, do you have any other harvest in North China?" Kinoshita Eichi also asked with interest, he is the biggest beneficiary.
"It depends on how strong the rebound in North China is, and then there is the problem involving Huatong Trading Company, I plan to transport cotton from North China to Suzhou and turn it into cotton yarn and cotton cloth for exchange, so as to ensure that the previous profits will not be reduced, and some of them can be increased."
"But in Central China and North China, the Jinling Government and the North China Political Affairs Committee, including the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army and the North China Dispatch Army Command, the relationship between everyone is a little delicate, and I dare not say whether this can be done." Chen Mingxiang said.
The biggest gain is to get two pieces of information, but this matter, it's inconvenient to tell you, it's just right to go to Yunhua Restaurant for dinner, and I am looking for Zheng Tonghui in the province.
"What is the delicate relationship, Chen Jun, what you said is too polite, it is nothing more than that they are protecting their own territory, and they don't want their own interests to fall into the hands of outsiders!"
"After the Central China Dispatch Army and the South China Front Army were abolished, the North China Front Army became a dominant force, occupying several provinces in North China, supporting the North China Political Affairs Committee, and always fighting with our Jinling government in Central China!" Police Division Chief Tsukamoto said with a sneer.
Although the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army is the highest command organ of the Japanese army in China, except for the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army, in fact, in addition to the military command, the management of subordinate units is relatively loose.
The North China Front Army in North China, the 11th and 13th Armies in Central China, and the 21st Army in South China all had conflicting interests with each other.
But for the commander-in-chief of the dispatch army, it is not easy to express his position casually, these are all troops under their own jurisdiction, if they can't be treated equally, the commander-in-chief will definitely be roasted on the fire, which general has no relationship and no background behind him?
"These things are not something we can manage, but fortunately, the gendarmerie system is very united, and we get along very well with the North China Military Police Headquarters, and Commander Otozaburo Yano has given strong support to Chen Jun's business activities in North China."
"The water in the General Staff Headquarters of the Imperial Army is very deep, and a little whirlpool can be planted into a lieutenant general, do you think that when Lieutenant General Abe Norihide was killed in battle, and Lieutenant General Kuwamu Chongming was dismissed, it was a simple matter of seeing death and not saving him? Pay attention to what you say in the future, it doesn't matter if you talk about it in front of Chen Jun, but you must not talk about it in public. Kinoshita Eichi said.
At the end of the 28th year of the Republic of China, the brigade commander of the Second Independent Mixed Brigade of the North China Front Army in Mongolia, Lieutenant General Abe Norihide, who was known as the flower of famous generals, was shelled by the anti-Japanese forces of the underground party and died.
But the problem is that his death led to Lieutenant General Kuwaki Chongming, the commander of the 110th Division of the Japanese Army, who was removed from his post from the base camp and transferred to the reserve, on the charge of dereliction of duty and ineffective rescue, but is this the truth?
Kinoshita Eichi got the news that Abe Norihide and Kuwaki Takaaki were typical examples of the young Zhuang faction and the traditional faction in the Japanese Army, and they had deep contradictions in peacetime.
There is a famous saying in China, called that the words of a person who are dying are good, and the song of a bird is also mourning, but Abe Guixiu left his last words to complain to the military department when he died, saying that Sangmu Chongming was slow to act when he saw death and did not save him, and the military department in order to cover the reputation of the army, so he let Sangmu Chongming carry this black pot and remove him from his post and turn him into a reserve.
"Lao Zheng, you carefully remember these two of my top secret information, the 12th Army of the Japanese North China Front stationed in Quancheng, Lu Province has received news that the 111th Division of the Sulu Theater of the Shancheng Government has infighting, and may be preparing to surrender to the base area, for this reason, the 12th Army has mobilized the 5th and 6th independent mixed brigades, and will launch a large-scale sweep of the Sulu Theater in the middle of this month."
"In September, the 27th Division directly under the North China Front Army stationed in Jincheng was to carry out a sweep in the eastern Hebei region, and the 32nd Division of the 12th Army Headquarters carried out a sweep in the Luxi area, and the 53rd Brigade of the 59th Division and a part of the 4th Cavalry Brigade were responsible for cooperating."
"This sweep is similar to the May Day Sweep, the tactics adopted by the Japanese army are to encircle the battalion step by step, which lasts for a long time, and the situation is also extremely cruel. Chen Mingxiang said in a low voice.
