The reason why Chen Mingxiang wanted to buy silk reeling factories and silk weaving factories in Suzhou and Hangzhou was not simply to make money, but also to protect the local mulberry farmers, silkworm farmers and part of the silk weaving industry.

For Japan, the silk weaving industry is the main source of financial revenue, and it occupies a considerable weight, and the oppression and looting of the occupied areas of China are naturally heavier.

First of all, the Central China Silk Co., Ltd. took over and controlled 129 silkworm seed farms in Jiangsu and Zhejiang and dumped Japanese silkworm seeds, but the varieties provided by Japan were all eliminated varieties, and silkworm farmers suffered great losses and their output continued to decline.

Before the Anti-Japanese War, the purchase price of 100 catties of silkworm cocoons was 400 yuan in legal currency, but the purchase price given by the Japanese at present was only 80 yuan in legal currency, and 80 percent of it was cut off.

In this way, only one-third of the purchase price paid is in cash, and the rest is issued a promissory note, which is cashed out after the cocoons are reeled into raw silk and sold.

A large number of silk reeling factories and silk weaving factories in Suzhou and Hangzhou went bankrupt, silkworm farmers and mulberry farmers went bankrupt in large numbers, and the silk weaving industry in China was fatally devastated.

Chen Mingxiang knew he didn't have the power to change all this, but he thought he could do what he could, on the one hand, buy bankrupt factories to give those skilled workers a bite to eat, and on the other hand, lend money to mulberry farmers and silkworm farmers to restore the ability to produce raw materials.

Before the Anti-Japanese War, there were 2,300 electric looms and 3,000 handmade looms in Suzhou, but now only 500 electric looms and 1,000 handmade looms are registered.

Chen Mingxiang's silk reeling factory and textile factory account for one-third of the existing registered machinery in Suzhou, which also provoked the eyes of Huazhong Silk Co., Ltd., which kept suing him for his black state.

If he wants to resist the huge pressure from the Japanese chaebol, he needs the strong support of the Japanese military, so he not only has to give red envelopes to these powerful Japanese officers, but also has to take out a part of the income as dividends, so as to get the protection of the Qingxiang Committee.

His factory doesn't pay any fees, that is, water, electricity, materials, and labor, which is called cost expenses, and the rest is all profit.

The selling price of 5,000 pieces of fiat currency per piece of silk is cut 60% for the cost of silk weaving mills and silk reeling factories, and according to the net profit of 2,000 fiat dollars, the production of 2,000 horses in a month is 4 million fiat currency.

Chen Mingxiang promised to give Li Shiqun and Qingqi Zhongzuo four components of red before, and the sales were in his hands, and when he made accounts, he could achieve a maximum of two million legal currency.

Four dividends are 800,000 fiat currency, and 200,000 fiat dollars for the gendarmerie are equivalent to half of the profits on the books, and these greedy and shameless guys should be satisfied.

"No wonder we are so good at the gendarmerie system of the Great Japanese Empire, Chen Jun is really generous, and I am very satisfied with this remuneration." Kenfumi Shigedo said with a smile.

Of the 200,000 fiat currency, he was able to put 150,000 fiat currency into his pocket, and the rest was distributed to the gendarmes and gendarmes as a subsidy. At present, the territory for the implementation of the clean-up is very small, and the number of Japanese military police is only 80, and the number of military police is more than 200 people, and 50,000 yuan is enough.

"This is just for the gendarmerie on the surface, I alone give His Excellency Dazuo 100,000 yuan of fiat currency per month as a relationship fee to help me maintain the normal operation of the factory, Huazhong Silk Co., Ltd. often finds me trouble, and there are some things that Your Excellency needs to come forward to solve."

"In addition, the telephone between Suzhou and Shanghai is often unreachable, and the telephone line is easily sabotaged by the guerrillas, so I need Dazuo to give me a radio station and put it in my office to facilitate contact with Shanghai." Chen Mingxiang said.

"No problem, this is a small matter, Chen Jun is a member of the military police of the Imperial Japanese Army, Huazhong Silk Co., Ltd. dares to trouble you, I will naturally coordinate it, the radio can be given to you, but you are responsible for arranging it yourself." Shigeto Kenfumi thought for a while and said.

Even if this private deal is reached, there is the favoritism of the gendarmerie, and the bullshit Huazhong Silk Co., Ltd. can only hide far away, and the Japanese are also afraid of the gendarmerie.

Next, Chen Mingxiang spent a few more days to walk around the urban area of Suzhou, and bought a garden house with a yard as an office, which was also the residence of the famous family in Suzhou, where the transportation is convenient, the area is very large, the environment is beautiful, and the layout of the Jiangnan garden style.

The office is not listed for the time being, because whether it is a transaction with the Qingxiang Committee or a silk fabric transaction, it belongs to his own industry, and he cannot hang the brand of Huatong Trading Company, and he needs to register a new company, and the office personnel will be recruited from the Shanghai market and then sent over.

Now he has to use Shigeto Kenwen's hand to deal with the suppression from Japanese businessmen, and when the interpersonal network between Suzhou and Hangzhou is smoothed out, and he finds a better backer in Japan, Chen Mingxiang plans to let the Operations Section kill this Shigeto Kenfumi.

Of course, for the safety of the local people, they can only do it secretly, and they have to create the illusion of accidental death, otherwise, the crazy Japanese military police will definitely dare to carry out large-scale retaliation.

"I now have the protection of the Qingxiang Committee and the Japanese military police, you can give me the freedom to do it, select a group of mulberry farmers and silkworm farmers in the surrounding areas, sign a recovery agreement for silkworm cocoons, provide them with living and production funds, and deduct them from the payment."

"Build me two silkworm farms for my own use, don't use silkworm seeds provided by the Japanese, they are garbage stuff that no one wants, the yield is small and the quality is poor."

"When you go to the countryside to collect silkworm cocoons, bring a few more young men who can fight, if the people of Huazhong Silk Co., Ltd. dare to play crookedly and unreasonably, beat them first, and then dare to find the factory, you will find the heavy vine organ of the Qingxiang Committee."

"Follow me to do things, don't make trouble and don't be afraid, although I am soft-spoken, but there is no problem in keeping you, and after the office is established, important things will contact me through the radio." Chen Mingxiang said.

Before leaving Suzhou, he went to his textile factory and silk reeling factory to inspect the two factories are the hot spots in the silk weaving industry in Suzhou City, first of all, the salary is high, and secondly, no one dares to bully, and there is an endless stream of people who want to come here to work.

In addition to the production of raw materials silkworm cocoons are a little insufficient, affecting the output, other aspects are running well, Chen Mingxiang convened the middle management personnel of the factory and held a simple meeting.

He has now paid protection money to Qingqi Zhongsa and Li Shi**, and paid protection money to Shigeto Kenwen, and he is very confident, at this time, money can be channeled, and the Japanese can also be bought, as long as it is not involved in the underground party and the mountain city government, no one can move him.

The key is that Chen Mingxiang has a bold guess about the mystery that has always been, and he is in a hurry to go back to verify this judgment, anyway, the distance between Shanghai and Suzhou is not far, just come two more times.
