Chapter 585: Closing the Distance
On the one hand, he was looking for a market for his silk weaving factory, and 20% of the shares were shipped to Shancheng, 40% of the shares were shipped to Shanghai, 30% of the shares were sent to the Northeast, and 10% of the shares were sent to Beijing and Tianjin.
Silk such goods belong to high-consumption luxuries, but there is no shortage of rich people at any time, besides, this is not for ordinary people to wear, sellers around the country, generally to Suzhou and Hangzhou silk weaving factories order, and the largest supply is Chen Mingxiang's silk weaving factory.
Under the management of Zhou Haiwen, Chen Mingxiang's silk industry in Suzhou and Hangzhou has developed rapidly, and he has his own silkworm seed farm, which not only contracts a large number of mulberry gardens, but also signs recycling agreements with some mulberry farmers and silkworm farmers, and provides funds to help them produce silkworm seeds.
Raw silk, the most important raw material for production, has been guaranteed, and the silk reeling factory and the silk weaving factory have been operating 24 hours a day, because the treatment is relatively high, and they are not bullied, and gradually brought together the best professionals in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the color and quality have been greatly improved.
"Don't worry about dividends, Ming Xiang, in fact, you should have done this a long time ago, the space in Shanghai was made by the Japanese to only a little leftovers, it is not interesting to eat, or the outside space is larger, you have channels and I have resources, this is a strong alliance!" Li Shiqun said.
What does this mean?
Although Li Shiqun has the resources of the entire Soviet Province, it is a pity that it is okay to make small fights and do some small business secretly, and he lacks channels for large-scale smuggling.
If you want to do smuggling business during the war, it won't work without a military background, it's useless to just have money, and when the goods reach people's mouths, you won't even have soup left in one bite.
If you want to transport supplies from the occupied areas to the national control areas, there are many passes along the way, and at present, only the Military Control Bureau is the only one that can completely achieve all-you-can-eat, and the rest are local forces, and their authority is good in the local area, and it will not work if they go out of the border.
Li Shiqun's exemption from inspection is not uncommon, but when it comes to the transportation capacity of waterways, he is really not enough, Chen Mingxiang's fleet can directly send goods to the Shancheng area, whether it is a navy ship or a military police patrol boat, not only does not search, but also protects.
On land, Li Shiqun's transportation capacity is also not good, Huatong Trading Company's fleet currently has more than 100 trucks, and his Southeast Trading Company has only more than 20 trucks, and the overload capacity is 100 tons.
"What the minister said is the truth, the reason why I opened a silk weaving factory and a tea factory in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and also opened a trading house to register a new company, and in the future, I will open a textile factory in Suzhou, and a cigarette factory in Jiangcheng and Anhui Province, in order to reduce dependence on the Shanghai market, in fact, Huatong Trading Company is not very profitable now."
"Since the capture of the public concession, almost all the factories in Shanghai are under the control of the imperial army, and the supply prices given by Japanese companies are getting higher and higher, and there is really no profit to be made.
"The reason why I don't give up these small profits in Shanghai is that the key is for the relationship I have worked so hard to build, I have invested millions of dollars before and after to have today's success, without the maintenance of these relationships, my business can not be carried out."
"Minister rest assured, I have always been very reliable for making money, the office of Fenghua Company in Suzhou has begun to operate, I plan to set up a branch in Hangzhou within half a year, and then the grain, cotton, tea, silk, cotton yarn and other materials here will form a special land transportation line, and the waterway will start from Zhenjiang." Chen Mingxiang said.
This is Chen Mingxiang's truth, he really plans to set up his branch in Hangzhou, he is in Shanghai, it is too far away from Li Shiqun, and it is too far away from Wanlilang.
In addition to the Japanese Army's Mei Organ, the Army's Ministry of Army's Special Service in Shanghai, the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy, the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, as well as the Japanese Thirteenth Army Headquarters and the Japanese Navy's Fleet Command, these are all extremely important military institutions, which can provide him with a large amount of information, and they must not be discarded.
Don't look at the pity he said, in fact, the current income of Huatong Trading Company is still very considerable, and there are still millions of dollars in income a month, but it is gradually decreasing.
This time, he followed Shunroku Hata to inspect the Qingxiang area, and he talked with the group of Japanese officers of the Qingxiang Committee, and also heard some important contents, the reason why the Japanese army's demand for grain was so large also involved the domestic demand in Japan.
In other words, some of the grain plundered in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions was to be transported to Japan, and the rice-producing areas of Jiangsu Province, known as the Krabi area, could not even be touched by the Wang puppet government, and its status was quite high, and Li Shiqun's smuggling of a large amount of rice to the outside world would definitely arouse the hatred of the Japanese army.
Li Shiqun is calling for wind and rain in the Jinling government, and even giants like Zhou Gaohai and Chen Gongbo can't help him, relying on the Japanese army, which is also the capital for him to save his life, once it touches the interests of the Japanese army, it kills him, and he can't escape 100%.
"My brother has such ambitions, of course I will assist, just open your mouth for all the things in Su Province, I hope that my brother will make a fortune, and don't forget me when the time comes." Li Shiqun said.
Want benefits? Nonsense, how can Li Shiqun do things that are not beneficial?
"Minister, you know me, I always like to do things, I never do things alone, all the profits of Suzhou will give you 30%, and all the profits of Hangzhou will give you 20%, what do you think?" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
Suzhou represents Su Province, Li Shiqun as the home field, although it is a bit too much to take Sancheng, it is reasonable, but Zhejiang Province represented by Hangzhou is not within his scope, and it is estimated that he will have to deal with local relations at that time, and it is already a lot to give two percent.
"My brother is really happy to do things, so it's decided, I'll tell you below, from now on I will hoard grain, raw silk, cotton and tea for you, and the Fenghua Company office will negotiate with Jiang Tong District about business."
"Tea factories and textile factories, you hurry up and choose a location, just say that I will take it down for you without spending a penny, and you will get a part of the machine from Shanghai, and I will find a part of it for you in the local area, and strive to build the factory at the end of the year." Li Shiqun was overjoyed.
He has always been very positive about making money, of course, this also comes from his confidence in Chen Mingxiang, if someone else, others dare to say that he has to dare to believe it!
In Li Shiqun's heart, Chen Mingxiang may not be a good material to be an agent, but when it comes to trading, he is an absolute elite and quite talented.
The military police headquarters relied on the Huatong Trading Company, and he was very envious of the mouth full of oil from top to bottom, and with the transfer of Chen Mingxiang's commercial center, he soon enjoyed such a good day.
What's more, these industries are all in his territory, and Chen Mingxiang can't play any tricks. The reason for doing this is also to seek greater benefits, how can selling cotton yarn make money?
