Chapter 180: Strategic Success
Professional things have to be handed over to professional people to do, in just one week, the cigarette factory has produced a finished product, which still needs to wait for cartons and cigarette boxes, or the speed is fast.
According to Chen Mingxiang's plan, in the first month, 30,000 packs of special cigarettes for the military police, 30,000 packs of special cigarettes for the navy, and 25,000 packs of special internal cigarettes will be produced.
At this time, cigarettes are divided into two types: flexible packaging and tin box packaging, Zhang Wenyan separately classified the internal special cigarettes, and turned them into ordinary packaging, intermediate packaging and high-end packaging, ordinary packaging for the lieutenant level, intermediate packaging for the adjutant level, and the high-end packaging is a round iron cylinder of fifty pieces, and the grade has gone up all of a sudden.
"The quality of the special cigarettes is really good, what Chen Sang said is not a lie, it is indeed made of high-quality tobacco, according to the number of various gendarmerie squads and gendarmerie squads, seize the time to send it down, as the welfare of the gendarmerie headquarters, tell Chen Sang, I thank him for his contribution, and we must maintain the quantity and quality of cigarettes." Saburo Miura was very satisfied.
He is not short of money, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't like free good things, and the round iron cylinder on the table contains fifty special cigarettes, which taste very good by himself and are not low in terms of hospitality.
"Since it is Chen Sang's good intentions, I accept it on behalf of the Marine Corps Command, the Navy is not as stingy as the Army, and it will not let its friends suffer, so it will settle the bill according to six cents per box of cigarettes, and give you double the profit."
"30,000 packs is a bit less, you can send 100,000 packs of cigarettes a month, which is barely enough to meet the needs of the Marines." Major General Matsuzhi said with a smile.
Chen Mingxiang was able to order cigarettes for the Marine Corps, which in itself was a matter of attitude, and all the lieutenants, adjutants, and generals were supplied free of charge.
The cost of a pack of cigarettes is two cents and five cents, but Major General Songzhi gave six cents, a box earned three cents and five cents, and 30,000 packs is more than 10,000 legal currency, which is also an income.
Saburo Miura regarded these cigarettes as a benefit for the commander of the military police, and Rear Admiral Matsuzhi also thought so, so the special cigarettes provided by the Navy became a special benefit of the Marine Corps Command, which also helped to increase his prestige.
"This Chen Mingxiang is really flexible in thinking, he is different from others in doing things, and he can even come up with the production of special cigarettes for the imperial army, which is nothing more than wanting to protect his cigarette production and sales, with good intentions!" Qingqi Zhongsa said with a smile.
For an important intelligence agency like the Mei organ, Chen Mingxiang naturally also gave away cigarettes, and dozens of people couldn't smoke much anyway, and all of them provided cigarettes at the official level.
"It's not surprising, as long as there are enough interests, businessmen can do anything you dare not think of, and within a controllable range, I appreciate this practice, which is much better than those who secretly smuggle cigarettes to the Chiang Tong District."
"A small cigarette factory with only three cigarette machines will not be able to achieve a big climate, nor will it affect the layout of the economic sector, and the military police command and the Marine Corps command are fascinated by this high treatment, and we don't need to express our opinions." Kagesa flipped over and over with his cigarette pipe and looked at it.
The bamboo leaf green tea that Ying Zuo drinks every day is personally sent by Chen Mingxiang, and it is available every month, and he is even a little reluctant to drink Japanese tea.
Chen Mingxiang is playing a psychological tactic, the Japanese tobacco factory in Huaxia, the cigarettes made from local tobacco leaves are not bad, but unfortunately, their thinking is rigid, that is, they do not know how to provide welfare for the army.
Don't underestimate the two words on the cigarette box, this is a symbol of status, it is estimated that the Japanese military police and people are the psychology of the marines, and the sense of satisfaction is quite strong.
Ying Zuo understands very well that Chen Mingxiang's production and smuggling of cigarettes in an open and honest manner, even if the Mei organ opposes it, it is useless, similar to the smuggling of cigarettes, which happens every day in Shanghai, otherwise where would the cigarettes made by so many cigarette factories go?
Although he was the supreme person in charge of the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters to monitor Wang's puppet government, he could not manage the military police headquarters, let alone the Marine Corps headquarters.
He said that Miura Saburo and Matsuzhi were just farting and had no effect at all, so ah, why bother to be this villain?
No matter how you say it, Ying Zuo is also a dignified army major general, there is no small money in his eyes, and the profits of cigarettes need to be supported by production, and a small cigarette factory is really not worth mentioning.
But everyone forgets that the cigarette factory can also develop, the cigarette machine can be bought again if there are fewer cigarettes, and there are no workers to find again, as long as the supply of tobacco is timely, there is no fear of no output.
"Bureau, Chunfeng sent a secret telegram, he has opened up cigarette sales channels, and he has leased a small cigarette factory in the concession, in addition to supplying cigarettes to the Japanese military police and marines, he can provide 70 boxes of finished cigarettes to the bureau headquarters every month."
Chunfeng asked the head of the industry to increase the supply of tobacco leaves, at least six tons of dry tobacco leaves per month, and he sent a special car to transport it. When it comes to the cost issue, he needs five cents per pack of cigarettes, and it is recommended that we sell them to seven cents and eight cents, and the quality is quite passable. Pan Qiwu said.
"His mind is just spinning fast, this method is good, in addition to being able to get closer to the Japanese, he can also smuggle cigarettes in a bright way, telling him that I want 200 boxes a month, and at least 300 boxes in October, no matter what method he uses."
"Tell Dai Xingbing that 20 tons of tobacco must be supplied to Huatong Trading Company every month, which is the bottom line, if it weren't for the jealousy of our Military Command Bureau, and the industrial strength of the Guotong Zone, I would like Chunfeng to open a cigarette factory in Xuchang." Dai Li said.
"Chunfeng asked, the radio station directly under the headquarters of the French Concession Bureau was cracked by the secret service headquarters, and the two agents in charge defected after being arrested, do you need his attention." Pan Qiwu said.
"There's no need for this, you reply to him, the headquarters of the bureau already knows, he doesn't have to worry about this problem, protecting himself for a long time is the only requirement."
"Without clear instructions from the bureau headquarters, he is not allowed to intervene in any work involving the military command, which will bring him danger, and he will report directly to the bureau headquarters if he has clues." Dai Li said.
The radio station directly under the headquarters of the French Concession Bureau was indeed cracked by the secret service headquarters, and two agents were also arrested and mutinied.
But what Chen Mingxiang didn't know was that these two agents of the Military Command Bureau were just talking to the secret service headquarters and secretly reported the matter to the bureau headquarters.
According to Dai Li's instructions, they have actually been delivering news to the bureau headquarters, but all this has nothing to do with Chen Mingxiang's mission.
