Qiaocheng Tobacco Factory is the second cigarette factory opened by Chen Mingxiang, the scale is much larger than the cigarette factory in Shanghai, directly from Xuchang in Henan Province to purchase tobacco leaves, the output of cigarettes is considerable, is one of the most important pillar industries of Chen Mingxiang at present.

Half of the cigarettes produced every month are transported to the national control area for sale, which is called smuggling, which is operated through the Military Control Bureau, and the other half is digested in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui regions, and the trading houses in various places contact the Huatong Trading Company to deliver the goods, and they must be paid first and then delivered.

Although the price of Chen Mingxiang's cigarettes is not low, they are sought after by smokers, especially those in the upper class, who are proud of the special cigarettes provided by the smoking factory.

Qiaocheng Tobacco Factory is one of the few places for Chen Mingxiang's self-cultivation, and there is no one licking his face to share the benefits, the gendarmerie has special cigarettes, the Marine Corps has special cigarettes, and the Japanese army enjoys cigarette "condolences" every festival.

"Brother, it seems that the Japanese are indeed in a predicament at the moment, there is no previous arrogance and arrogance, the Pacific War they launched is actually a bad move, and now the United States is participating in the war, this is the strongest capitalist country, and its industrial strength and economic strength are not comparable to Japan."

"My own life is not good, and the war resources are also stretched, so I thought of giving the Jinling government some benefits, hoping to tie the entire occupied area to their chariot, you don't care, you have always been in contact with the Shancheng government, and I also took a bad move." Ding Mocun seemed to be a little depressed and said.

Coming out of Zhou Gaohai's house, the two came to Chen Mingxiang's house in the Yihe Road Mansion District, and continued to drink and chat, and it could be heard that Ding Mocun was already a little disappointed in the situation.

There must be someone who can find out the truth from some changes, the Japanese adjusted their strategy, and Ding Mocun, who was a person in the bureau, felt very deeply, he was a senior official of the Survey and Statistics Bureau in the same position as Dai Li, and he was also the head of the secret service, and his ability to control the situation was far stronger than that of Li Shiqun, a small spy.

When he first joined the Jinling government as a traitor, he was also in the limelight for a while, and was valued by the Japanese and Wang Jingwei, stepping on the blood and corpses of the anti-war soldiers, and became a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Jinling government and the director of the secret service headquarters, and directly entered the high-level.

To tell the truth, although most of the things were done by Li Shiqun, Wu Sibao and others, he was also the culprit behind the killing, which played a role in fueling the fire, and his heart was no less vicious than Li Shiqun, this is a fact that no one can deny.

But now, as the minister of both the Ministry of Social Affairs and the Ministry of Communications, he has no real power in his hands, and there is no sign of being reused, and the situation has changed again, and he also has a little regret in his heart.

If he does not leave the Central Bureau of Statistics, although it is not his turn to be the deputy director, but when the Central Bureau of Command is comprehensively suppressed by the Military Bureau, he is likely to get an important position, such as the head of the personnel section, the director of the economic investigation department, or the chief official of the feudal territory in a certain region, which is much better than the current situation.

"Brother Mocun, I am good at business, no matter which side of the force I will not offend, the ancestor also said that it is a cunning rabbit three holes, walking on multiple legs and stepping on a few boats is never a bad thing, no matter what the situation, I will win and not lose, this is the rules of the game in troubled times."

"Let's take a look and talk about it, the Japanese are not so easy to collapse, the situation in the future is very unpredictable, you and I are friends, I will not shirk when it is time to help, a road to the black is indeed not the way to operate." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

Ding Mocun said this, it may be a temptation, or it may be that he wants to use the interests of him and the Military Command Bureau to find a way back for himself, and after one mutiny, the second mutiny is logical.

But Chen Mingxiang still has to accept the move, and it is also a great achievement to plot against Ding Mocun, and it can be regarded as a reward for burning a cold stove, and it is definitely a heavy stroke in the merit book of the Military Command Bureau.

As for whether Ding Mo Village will be whitewashed because of his recommendation, Chen Mingxiang is not worried, Ding Mo Village's reputation in the occupied area, especially in Shanghai, is too stinky, and there is too much blood on his hands, and the Shancheng government has also listed him as one of the big traitors who are severely punished, even if he rebels again, there will be no good end.

Of course, even if this guy is tempted, he is not afraid, who doesn't know that he has been smuggling with the Military Command Bureau for three years, this is a semi-open secret!

Therefore, he gave Ding Mocun a reassurance, if the situation deteriorates further and the Japanese and Wang puppet government continue to decline, he will definitely help match the bridge.

However, the current value of Ding Mocun's use of the Military Command Bureau is low, he has no real power in his hands, his status is at the bottom, and he cannot facilitate the actions of the Military Command Bureau, and the symbolic significance is greater than the actual significance.

"Thank you, brother, I want to step on a few boats, but I know my ability, without your help, I'm afraid that I will fall into the water and drown if I step on it, not just anyone has your ability." Ding Mocun said with a wry smile.

He knows his own business, he is now a typical person who is not heavy in power, and he can't say that he has no power at all, but the corresponding interests are really three walnuts and two dates, and the few are very pitiful, he has no capital to step on a few boats, and so far, neither the Central Command nor the Military Commander has contacted him privately.

Although he came to Jinling, Chen Mingxiang, who is the chief of police, didn't even go to the office, it was just an empty shelf with a vain name, he planned to give out some benefits during the New Year and win people's hearts, so there was no need to show up at this time.

He got up early and had breakfast on the street before driving to the Jinling government's treasury, which was originally home to the Shancheng government's treasury, and today his purpose was to determine the Haiyuan Salt Company's sphere of influence.

"Brother Mingxiang came just in time, I came to introduce you to the two persons in charge of the salt affairs of the Ministry of Finance, just finished talking about your matter, the document will be typed out soon, let's sit down and have a cup of tea and chat." Zhou Gaohai said with a smile.

There are two other people in the office, and after listening to the introduction, Chen Mingxiang learned that one is Ruan Yulin, the director of the salt administration, who is responsible for formulating the overall plan, and the other is Liu Qian'an, the general director of the General Administration of Salt Affairs, who is responsible for implementing various policies, and these are all bigwigs in charge of salt affairs.

"Director Chen, the minister attaches great importance to you, and actually assigned the salt sales in the two special cities, Suxichang and the first-tier areas of Zhenjiang to your Haiyuan Salt Company, which is the richest city in our Jinling government." Ruan Yulin said with a smile.

At this moment, there was a knock on the office door, and a middle-aged man came, but his face did not seem to look very good.
