"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers! Huatong Trading Company is recruiting business elites with high salaries in Shanghai, and the great news should not be missed, see it early and benefit from it! ”

When I got up in the morning for breakfast, the sound of the newsboy selling the newspaper instantly attracted a large crowd, and the people who were waiting to find a job in the whole Shanghai market were stirred by this.

Those who reacted quickly immediately went home to change their clothes and tidy up their appearance, and rushed to the Bank of China as soon as possible.

"From eight o'clock to half past eleven, the number of people who signed up has exceeded 1,000, and it is estimated that there will be at least 3,000 people when they get off work in the evening, and the forms are also filled in a thick stack, which makes me a little dizzy." When Wang Zhen came home at noon, she said that she was really tired.

"Who made you the person I believe in the most, work hard, when the Beiping branch opens, I will take you to Beiping for two days, which can be regarded as compensation for you." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

Handed over the recruitment and interview work of the Beiping branch to Wang Zhen to be responsible, so what did Chen Mingxiang do, was he hiding and being lazy?

Of course not, he can't be idle, he wears many hats in Shanghai, stays in Suzhou and Hangzhou for these days, and after coming back, he is busy completing the tasks of the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy, and he has never had time to go to work in the Yamen, resulting in a backlog of documents in those departments, which need to be signed and handled.

Like the secret service headquarters and the inspection team, it is no problem for him to make a big deal, and there are deputies in the Public Concession Bureau and Public Works Department, and it is the same whether he goes or not, and the board of directors does not have to participate.

But he has real power over the three positions of the city government, and he can't operate them like this. The Social Affairs Bureau is in charge of industry and commerce, and if he does not sign the application report, neither the factory nor the shop can be opened.

He is the number one foreign affairs agency in the Foreign Affairs Office, and all matters between the Japanese side and the city government must be reviewed by him, and his own handling opinions will be indicated, and then submitted to Chen Gongbo for approval.

He is the chief of the General Affairs Division of the Security Command, and all expenses must be approved by him, otherwise the accountant will not allocate funds and will not write them off, and he is also the director of the Liaison Office, and he must also be present to receive firearms and ammunition.

For Chen Mingxiang, every position is a valuable resource, and he tries his best to behave so as not to be criticized, in fact, some people have long been jealous that he occupies so many positions.

"Your Excellency General, I think that Qingqi Qingyin's invitation also provides new ideas for the development of the company, only by expanding the company's coverage and expanding business volume, can we break through the limitations of geography, get more resources and create more profits."

"North China has abundant resources, such as cotton, the cotton-producing areas in Central China are basically monopolized by the textile industry, our raw materials are seriously lacking, three factories are open 24 hours a day, the consumption is extremely amazing, but cotton yarn and cotton cloth are the main trading commodities between us and Jiang Tong District."

"I recently heard that the Shanghai market is actually in the midst of a coal shortage, and the price of briquettes has risen from four yuan a load in the 29th year of the Republic of China to 30 yuan a load now, which directly endangers the interests of the empire, and the city government and the Ministry of Industry, including the empire's coal control agencies, do not want to see such a situation."

"And North China is rich in coal resources, if my fleet is loaded from Jincheng to Shanghai, the cost is actually not much, this kind of thing relies on small profits and quick turnover, the volume is very huge, we still have profits to make, but also to alleviate the coal shortage in Shanghai, crack down on those illegal acts."

"The problem at the moment is that I am very unfamiliar with North China, Minister Taiji Ota of the Central China Liaison Department promised to dredge up the relationship between the North China Liaison Department for me, but this is far from enough, I hope that His Excellency the General can provide some support, and the Beiping branch will also create more profits for the headquarters." Chen Mingxiang said.

Purchasing goods is not a hassle, as long as the price is appropriate, there is no need to worry about not being able to buy enough supplies.

The problem faced by the branch is that if the goods can make a lot of money, it must belong to the category of material control, whether it is acquisition or transportation, it must be strictly restricted, to put it bluntly, it is not in place.

The North China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy, which is the management body of the material control in North China, General Taiji Ota of the Central China Liaison Department, has agreed to dredge the relationship between Shiozawa Kiyonobu, the Minister of North China Liaison Department.

The second is the inspection of the transportation process, and the most important thing is the gendarmerie, as long as this pass passes, there is no big problem.

Therefore, Chen Mingxiang came to the military police headquarters stationed in Shanghai in the afternoon and made a serious report to Major General Kinoshita Eichi about his plan to conduct business in North China.

The net profit of the smuggling of the Huatong Trading Company in Central China is 55% of the same as that of the Military Police Command, but the goods in North China can only be given 20% at most.

As the saying goes, Hades is a good ghost, although he has found a relationship at the top, but all the gates of procurement and transportation need to be checked, which greatly compresses profits.

"I support this idea of yours, especially the three textile factories in Suzhou, the raw materials after they are put into production are a big problem, and the imperial merchants are also aware of your threat, I heard that they are investing a lot of manpower to buy cotton in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but considering the needs of the war, the military cannot take the means of intervention, and the general environment is unfavorable to us."

"The coal in Shanghai is mainly from North China, and unscrupulous businessmen in the market engage in coal speculation, resulting in high coal prices.

"If you can establish a stable supply of coal and bring the price of coal down, that's a good thing, and from the perspective of the empire's long-term strategy, we don't want the prices in Shanghai to be too high, which will affect social stability and damage the interests of the empire."

"I am very happy that you can consider the actual difficulties of the empire in Shanghai, so that before you set off, you should first go to the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Institute to obtain the qualification to sell coal, and I will help you get the warehouse and briquette factory, so that it can be operated."

"The purchase of coal to stabilize prices will definitely be supported by the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy, which is also their achievement and the achievement of our military police command."

"Through the Central China Liaison Department, the purchase of coal in coal mines in North China is not a problem at all, the most critical thing is transportation, leveraging the leverage of the entire Shanghai coal price, the amount of coal needed is quite amazing, for this, you have to solve the biggest basic condition of the ship." Kinoshita Eichi said with a smile.
