If the 300,000 quintals are put into the market, plus the 200,000 quintals made by themselves, the price of briquettes in the entire Shanghai market will definitely be washed away, not to mention 30 yuan per quintal, even 20 yuan per quintal.

"I want to give you this batch of goods to operate, but no, just like you said, Mitsui, Mitsubishi and other imperial chaebols behind them have come forward, although it is no problem to seize it, but it is not okay to use it to impact the price of coal, and they also prevent us from coming to this hand."

"It's not just me, but General Taiji Ota of Koyain has also been pressured by the chaebol, and the nature of a businessman is like this, with money in his eyes, and he doesn't care about the long-term interests of the empire in Shanghai." Kinoshita Eichi said with a wry smile, his expression very helpless.

The behind-the-scenes controller of the Shanghai coal market is not the big Shanghai gas company, but also the Japanese chaebol at the top, and the higher the price of briquettes in the Shanghai market, the greater their profits.

Although due to the strength of the government and the military department, the chaebol did not dare to resist the intervention of the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy, but it was easy to say that it was easy to make some changes, after all, everyone was the invader of the empire in China, one was military aggression, the other was economic aggression, and the ultimate benefit was the empire.

The Japanese chaebol proposed that the military police headquarters could seize these hoarded briquettes, and these briquette factories could also be seized, but 300,000 quintals of briquettes must not be put on the market!

That would cause the price of briquettes in Shanghai to get out of control, and the Japanese coal merchants would suffer huge losses, and the military had the responsibility and obligation to protect the interests of the imperial merchants.

In fact, if the chaebol had known about Chen Mingxiang's methods, they might have taken countermeasures a long time ago, but the methods adopted by the North China Liaison Department were very hidden, and Shiozawa Kiyonobu directly gave instructions to the so-called North China Development Co., Ltd. to transport how many tons of coal to Jincheng Port without giving any reason, which was an order from the Xingya Yuan and the cabinet.

"Do you mean that the imperial merchants still want to control the price of briquettes and sit back and watch the social order chaos in Shanghai?" Chen Mingxiang said "puzzled".

"It's what you think, I'm ashamed of it, you are trying to lower the price of coal in Shanghai and protect the interests of the empire, but as a businessman of the empire, the coal companies are trying their best to raise the price, what a great irony!" Kinoshita Eichi said.

"It doesn't matter, at most it will take a little longer, I dare to say, at most three months, the price will definitely stabilize at the end of the year, the maximum is not more than 30 yuan per quintal, I hope it is 28 yuan per quintal, when the purchasing power is lower than the price floating, sooner or later there will be big trouble." Chen Mingxiang said.

In fact, what Shanghai lacks most is grain, which is the first element of survival, but the food for four million people, according to the current ration standard, rice and broken rice are two liters and three catties a week, twelve catties a month, that is, 48 million catties, 24,000 tons, he is really powerless.

In the Jiangbei region of Anhui Province, the Japanese army had to collect 50,000 tons of rice in five months, and in the 28th year of the Republic of China, Zhejiang Province was robbed of 100,000 tons of rice by the Japanese army in a year.

Coal is not so sensitive to the demand for food, which is the fundamental reason why Chen Mingxiang was able to get support.

"Let me tell you something, the Xingya Yuan passed a resolution stipulating that the military bills in Central China and South China will officially stop circulating on April 1 next year, and all of them must use the Central Reserve Notes, and the scope of application also includes North China, as long as you know it yourself, this may cause a series of changes." Tanaka said.

Coming out of Yunhua Restaurant, Tanaka Dazuo took the initiative to send Chen Mingxiang back to the Mara Villa in his own car, and on the way, told Chen Mingxiang the news.

What is the problem with the suspension of military tickets?

Chen Mingxiang is also half an expert now, and he immediately realized the hidden meaning of this news.

First of all, this represents the unification of currencies in Central and South China, that is, the territory of Wang's puppet government, and the reason for such a move is also a support for Wang's puppet government, or the direction of the Japanese government's strategy to change.

Secondly, this represents the footsteps of the Japanese army to loot Chinese resources, and began to change from the front of the stage to the backstage, and the Central Reserve Notes are nominally the currency of the Central Reserve Bank of Wang's puppet government, not issued by the Japanese, which is also maintaining the "authority" of Wang's puppet government!

In addition, the value of military stamps was entirely based on the armed forces of the Japanese army, and the common people and merchants in all the occupied areas did not agree with it, and the use of central reserve coupons that could be printed at any time was more convenient for plundering materials.

Why did Daisa Tanaka say this news?

The scope of application of the China Reserve Bonds includes North China, which will facilitate the exchange of the Union Bank Bonds and the China Reserve Bonds, and the China Reserve Bonds will also circulate in North China, which has greatly facilitated Chen Mingxiang's business.

Chen Mingxiang didn't think about how to make use of this matter, but this is absolutely bad news for the occupied areas, and it can't be worse, the Japanese army wants to pass on the risk to the Wang puppet government, and the issuance of the Central Reserve Bonds will definitely skyrocket, and the day when the Central Reserve Bonds will depreciate sharply is coming!

"After receiving a telegram from the military police headquarters stationed in Shanghai, the freighter transporting the machines had already set off yesterday afternoon, and I finally managed to gather 30 briquette machines, and considering the future situation, I don't know what to do, so I directly ordered 200 units, which is equivalent to saving a machinery factory and a motor factory."

"I loaded dozens of boxes of broken tea, 5,000 catties of cane sugar, 10,000 pieces of soap and 5,000 pieces of towels for the briquette factory in Jincheng, as well as two boxes of red wine, two boxes of cigarettes and a box of Japanese tea for the Japanese military police.

"I mobilized the people of Huatong Trading Company to lease ten shops in densely populated places in Shanghai, which our family uses to sell briquettes, and they are rationed according to 10,000 quintals per month, accounting for half of the total share, and the rest is used as welfare to deal with all aspects of related households." Wang Zhen said with a smile.

As she spoke, she made tea for Chen Mingxiang, and the joy in her eyes was undisguised, how to say it, it was like a little wife, seeing her husband returning from going out, this is probably what happened.

"If I didn't have you as a good helper, my work would definitely not be so easy, the cooperation between the two of us is seamless, I may not be used to the days without you." Chen Mingxiang also smiled.

This girl not only knows what she should do, but also knows how to do it, as long as she gives her a rough request, the work will always be done very beautifully, this is the ability!

When he returned to Shanghai, he also had to deal with these things, the production of briquettes does not mean success, the formation of channels to sell to the people, and the goal of pulling the price down, needless to say, Wang Zhen took the initiative to build bridges and pave the way to the front, how could he not be satisfied?
