Wang Zhen ordered 200 briquette machines, although only a part of them were produced at this time, but the five briquette factories in Shanghai also have dozens of briquette machines, and under the condition that the coal is fully guaranteed, if the coal is started within 24 hours, it can produce at least 20,000 quinquettes a day.

There are 600,000 quintals in Shanghai alone in a month, plus 300,000 quintals in Jincheng, which can fully meet the fuel needs of Shanghai, and there is no need to sell coal to alleviate the predicament.

But Chen Mingxiang did not do this, although the briquette factory in Shanghai is also 24 hours a day, and it seems to be busy, but more than half of the workers have nothing to do, and the monthly output is only 200,000 quintals at most, which is in line with his plan to provide 500,000 quintals of briquettes every month.

How could this be the case?

It's very simple, the briquette factory has fewer machines!

The new briquette machine is not used in the warehouse, and the original briquette machine only starts one-third of the quantity, and the rest is declared to be repaired.

With her IQ, she couldn't understand Chen Mingxiang's purpose in doing this at all.

"Mingxiang, your actions are a little wrong, the monthly output of all our briquette factories can fully meet the needs of the market, why do you still throw out the killer idea of selling coal directly? What kind of medicine is sold in your gourd? Ji Ji asked.

"The price of a ton of coal is 600 yuan, a pound is equal to three cents, and a load of briquettes costs 25 yuan, which is equal to a pound of two cents and five cents, but you don't forget that a pound of coal can make a pound and a half of briquettes, and this proportion is cheap for ordinary people."

"Even if I sell coal according to 601 tons, these tens of thousands of tons of coal can make tens of millions, this difference doesn't matter to me at all, I will have a disturbed conscience if I take it, I can't help but succumb to the environment, but I can do something as I can, and it should be."

"The people of Shanghai are hard enough, the monthly salary of workers is only more than 60 yuan, but they have to spend half of it to buy briquettes, you know, the unemployment rate in Shanghai is very high, what about those families who have no income?"

"To put it mildly, these things I am doing now are going to be poked in the backbone by the villagers and elders, and if I don't accumulate some virtue, how can I go to see my ancestors and ancestors when I go underground in the future?" Chen Mingxiang said.

This is his ultimate goal, and it is also because the briquette has no technical content, so he wants to make the people make some money, if the briquette factory can achieve its goal, how can he sell coal?

Everyone's focus is on briquettes, and no one pays attention to the added value generated by coal, so Chen Mingxiang has at least two months to sell coal in the bright light.

"It turns out that you have played all the tricks of the city government and the Japanese military agencies in Shanghai, and no one has understood your move!" Ji Ji's face was full of admiration.

Chen Mingxiang continued to ask for resources from the Japanese puppet under the banner of solving the coal shortage problem, and the municipal government and Xingya Institute gave subsidies, gave the right to purchase and transport coal, gave the right to sell briquettes, and the Ministry of Industry of the Public Concession also had coal subsidies.

In this way, Chen Mingxiang also shouted that the production capacity was insufficient, and he only supplied 500,000 quinquets per month, and he could calculate it to this point, he really has him!

"If my methods are seen through casually, then how can I mix up? It's November soon, and I have to go outside the Kansai for a trip, and it's time to settle accounts with the Kwantung Army Command. Chen Mingxiang said.

"I haven't been outside the border yet, why don't I go with you?" Ji Ji hugged his arm and said with a smile.

"That's not good, it's easy to have an accident with you, you haven't divorced yet, Pan Sanxing has been carrying the black pot for so many years, so I can save some face." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

"I'm not afraid of what you'll do to me!" Ji Ji said.

"I'm afraid of what you'll do to me, hahaha!" Chen Mingxiang smiled and left.

He really didn't dare to take Ji Ji on a business trip, the charm of this Gone with the Wind is not blown, and her personality is very unique, it is estimated that he is likely to be eaten by Ji Ji outside the Guan!

The three textile mills worked day and night to exceed their tasks, and by now 18,000 pieces of faucet muslin had been produced, and 8,000 pieces were in stock, which is 26,000 pieces.

Chen Mingxiang planned to transfer 4,000 pieces of cotton cloth from the logistics materials provided to the Japanese army by the Yufeng Yarn Factory through the connections of the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy, and to complete the replenishment of the Japanese army by the end of November, and to complete the transaction of the Kwantung Army Headquarters first.

After all, this was the first time to do business, and in order to let the other side see his strength and sincerity, he attached great importance to the exchange of materials between the two sides; on the one hand, the production of cotton cloth in the national control area needed a large amount of cotton yarn, and on the other hand, the military control bureau needed to obtain a large amount of funds from smuggled materials.

"The matter of cotton cloth is a trivial matter, I will tell the headquarters of the 13th Army, you are borrowing it temporarily, the reason is for the exchange of materials for the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, and no one will stop it."

"His Majesty the Emperor's Imperial Council has decided that on November 1, the Koyain will be officially abolished, and the newly established Greater East Asia Province will take over the assets and affairs of the liaison departments with the consulates general of each region as the main body, and this handover will last about a month."

"Chen Jun, I have to return to Japan to report on my work at the beginning of December, I will be a military post in the future, and I have no authority to help you anymore, if there is anything you need me to do, please feel free to bring it up, and I will try my best to do it for you before I leave." Taiji Ota said with a smile.

At this time, he also knew his arrangement, originally thought that he would return to China to serve as a vacant post for a period of time, and then transfer to the reserve, but unexpectedly, the Military Command Department arranged for him to serve as the commander of the Third Southern Fleet, which means that his days in the army will continue to continue.

"Your Excellency General, thank you for providing me with so many resources and assistance during the period of liaison minister in Central China, and I will strive to end the dispute over the pricing of the coal market in Shanghai in early December and give you a generous gift when you return to China."

"In addition, before you leave, I will send you the share of the last cotton cloth and cotton yarn, as well as the share of the last two months, which is equivalent to 400,000 US dollars, as soon as possible." Chen Mingxiang said.

Last time, the military department issued a material exchange task to the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy, and Taiji Ota provided a subsidy of 50 million legal currency for the cotton cloth and cotton yarn in it, which was converted into US dollars, and it was not less than 1 million.

The coal subsidy is $600,000 a month, and in October and November, that's $1.2 million, and Taiji Ota gets $400,000, which is really reasonable.

But these 400,000 US dollars are converted into yen, which is nearly 2 million, and according to Japanese prices, two generations can live a very rich life, and Taiji Ota will not have to think about money for the rest of his life.
