The so-called temperature in Shanghai in November is okay, the citizens in accordance with the municipal government's call to save coal, Chen Mingxiang with the output of 500,000 quinques, there is no coal shortage, the market seems to be very stable.

In fact, many families are secretly storing briquettes, preferring to cook one less meal a day and eat cold, but also to save briquettes, twenty-five yuan a load, who knows how long this price can last?

Therefore, Chen Mingxiang's Yuchang Coal Company is not in a hurry at all, and still starts construction according to the original plan, but secretly it is ready to sell coal, anyway, tens of thousands of tons of coal have been transported to the coal yard, and they can sell it whenever they want.

"Even if you still have a little conscience, you know that you will bring me a gift from outside the customs, these sable furs are very soft, the coat color is consistent and the gloss is good, I really like it, I will send it to the leather clothing store later, thank you, I will cook myself tonight, how about we have a candlelight dinner?" Ji Ji said with a smile.

She was really very happy, not only this pack of twenty expensive sable skins, as long as Chen Mingxiang had such a mind, the gift was not the most important.

Looking at the eyes of this Gone with the Wind, the intoxicating style for a moment, Chen Mingxiang also felt a little moved, but unfortunately, he had other things, he couldn't enjoy the hospitality of the great beauty, and it was extremely rare to go to the kitchen, and her residence had a special cook to cook.

"Forget it tonight, let's change the time, I'm going to Chen Gongbo's lover's house for dinner, it's all a habit, but whenever I go out, some people are waiting for me to give gifts." Chen Mingxiang said.

"Chen Gongbo's lover? Is it Mo Guokang or the twins? Ji Ji asked curiously.

"It's the two sisters He Zhuoxian and He Bingxian, who always go to Mo Guokang, and Chen Gongbo himself feels eccentric." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

"I heard that his two sisters have been pried into the corner by you, do you men think that having a pair of twin sisters feels more exciting and you are very successful?" Ji Ji said sourly.

She was originally a backup dancer, and she can be regarded as a flower in the dust, no matter what she says or does, she does not have the reserve of an ordinary woman.

"How can I say it, my personal relationship with them is okay, they are friends of the opposite sex who can speak, they are smarter, they know what they can and can't do, and their words and deeds are very measured, which is much stronger than Mo Guokang, and there is no such thing as prying corners."

"You have to talk about the sense of excitement, I don't deny it, this is also an innate inferiority, I am not a saint, it is inevitable that I will be affected, but in terms of attraction, you are much stronger than them."

"Yuchang Coal Company continues to follow my plan, this month and December are the target of 500,000 quinquettes, and by the end of December, it will start selling coal to the outside world, and I estimate that some people will soon be unable to hold on." Chen Mingxiang said.

Yuchang Coal Company's funds were withdrawn quickly, how much they produced and how much they sold, and hydropower was equivalent to not asking for money, but those United Coal Numbers were miserable, and all their briquettes were saved and not sold, and they were completely using capital to confront Chen Mingxiang.

However, there is no sign of the panic caused by the lack of briquette production in the Shanghai market, and it seems that the citizens are accustomed to buying briquettes from the briquette shop of Yuchang Coal Company, which has caused them panic, and the liquidity has been crushed to death.

In order to keep the coal quota, they have to continue to transport coal from North China, because of the problem of ships, the coal was actually not transported to Shanghai, but the money had to be paid in advance, and there was military expenses of the Japanese army!

"The briquette factory is basically not managed, and the fixed number of machines also brings a fixed output, and the people of the company and I mainly focus on opening briquette shops, and after analyzing the population and residential areas of the public concession, the French concession and the southern city, the site selection of 50 briquette shops has been completed."

"All the shops are in the streets and intersections with convenient transportation and densely populated residences, and the Public Concession Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and the French Concession Public Board of Directors have provided us with a lot of help, and the shops are basically rent-free."

"After negotiations between me and the Board of Directors, they promised that as long as the current situation can be maintained, the Board of Directors is willing to pay our company an additional five yuan per load of briquettes every month." Ji Ji said proudly.

"It's beautiful, it looks like I'm hiring you as a manager, my vision is fine, there are 20 briquette shops in the French Concession, and 200,000 quintals are sold in January, which is a subsidy of 1 million, and there is a subsidy from the Ministry of Industry and Bureau of the Public Concession, but we are operating late, and it is estimated that it is a good day for half a year." Chen Mingxiang is very satisfied.

There is no difficulty in selling briquettes alone, this is the current shortage of materials in Shanghai, and it is a necessity of life, so it is not easy to sell, and it is possible to take advantage of this opportunity to get resources from the hands of the administrative agencies, which is the level of being a manager.

"The wind is now in our favor, is it the time to show our strength and take advantage of the opportunity to make money, is it too late? What does this mean? Ji Ji asked with a frown.

"There are some upper-level news that you don't know, to be honest, the whole Jinling government knows no more than ten people, let me tell you, next year all the concessions in Shanghai will be canceled, and they will become special districts under the Shanghai Special Municipal Government, and the Ministry of Industry and the Public Board of Directors will no longer exist, where do we want subsidies?" Chen Mingxiang said.

This decision was only made at the Imperial Conference of the Japanese invaders on 8 November, and only a very small number of high-level officials in Wang's puppet government, such as Wang Jingwei, Zhou Gaohai, and Chen Gongbo, knew about it.

"Great, the concessions of various countries have indeed played a great role in promoting the economic prosperity of Shanghai, this is a fact that cannot be denied, but in the final analysis, the concessions are the products of the Western powers' invasion of Chinese territory, it is a real shame, compared with this kind of major event, it doesn't matter if we make less money, when can we handle the handover?" Ji Ji said in surprise.

"Don't be too anxious first, I estimate that if the Jinling government wants to formally take back the administrative power of the French Concession, it will take half a year, and the French have a vested interest in the Shanghai market, and they are certainly unwilling to hand over power, so the negotiation process is bound to be slow, so you have to be a little patient." Chen Mingxiang said.

It is a formal retraction, and the meaning of these words is very clear, whether it is Japan or France at this time, it is impossible to give up all rights willingly, and it is inevitable to put forward all kinds of demands, such as the treatment and privileges of overseas Chinese, the right to speak in the concession, and so on.

In order to accomplish this "glorious achievement", the Wang puppet government is bound to make concessions, and France is better to do it, but the Japanese aggressor's request is not to discuss with you, but to give direct orders.

Therefore, as long as the Japanese invaders are not driven out and the country is still under the occupation of foreign enemies, the puppet government will never be able to do practical things, even if it has the heart, it does not have the ability and guts.
