Changlu Salt Farm is smuggled every month, almost 10,000 tons a month, the monthly standard of Lianghuai Salt Farm is 10,000 tons, the number of 20,000 tons of salt, even if one ton earns 1,000 yuan, it is also 20 million coupons, Chen Mingxiang is really not short of money.

But except for Wang Zhen, no one knows the transportation volume of Changlu Salt Farm, plus the cost of labor and ships, it is obviously 20 million in the storage coupons, in the eyes of the outside world, it can fall about 2 million, and you have to give gifts to pull the relationship, and you must fall less than 1 million.

This million Chinese reserve bonds also have to deal with the expenses of the entire directly subordinate station and the daily interpersonal relationships, which are stretched to the limit.

"Bureau, we have received a secret message from the Intelligence Department 1 and the Intelligence Department 2 of the directly subordinate station, and the headquarters of the directly subordinate station has issued an order, requiring all intelligence departments to reduce their expenditures and reduce their efforts to buy puppet troops before the end of the year."

"Chen Mingxiang, the owner of Huatong Trading Company, closed the second and third factories of the three textile factories in Suzhou, and a large number of workers returned to Shanghai, and the rest were concentrated in the first factory." Someone said.

This is a girl wearing a light blue cheongsam, with a little light makeup, and the personnel working in the bureau headquarters wear very few military uniforms, men must wear Mao suits, women must wear light blue cheongsam, and the boss has a rule that female employees are not allowed to wear heavy makeup.

Dai Li is indeed very suspicious, he secretly took advantage of the opportunity to send personnel to the intelligence department of the direct station, and sprinkled his eyes and ears into the intelligence department, and reported important news at any time, and this girl was responsible for the messages exchanged between the two sides.

"You call Director Xu from the manager's office, and then notify Director Mao and Secretary Pan." Dai Li said.

Hearing the news, he frowned, Chen Mingxiang's three textile factories produced a large amount of cotton yarn and cotton cloth for the Military Command Bureau, and they were also the main scarce materials used to exchange materials, but he didn't expect the situation to be so bad that Chen Mingxiang even closed two factories.

The boss called, and the three important people of the Military Command Bureau hurriedly came to the boss's office.

"Bureau, what are your orders?" Mao Renfeng spoke first.

"You all sit down, I just received the news that Huatong Trading Company has closed the second and third Suzhou textile factories, probably because of the shortage of cotton, there is no way to continue to work." Dai Li said.

The three people present gasped, even Chen Mingxiang's relationship couldn't withstand the pressure of insufficient cotton, and the situation seemed to be tense.

Without the cotton cloth and cotton yarn of the Huatong Trading Company, the channels for the exchange of materials and the acquisition of funds by the bureau headquarters were lost by more than half in an instant, and the cotton gauze in the national control area was simply like a banknote, which belonged to absolute hard currency, comparable to rare metals such as gold.

"Bureau, I received a report from Lianfeng Company that although Chang'an Trading Bank has resumed salt trading with Yanzhou, the quantity has been greatly reduced, and there are barely 1,000 tons of salt in March and April, and salt merchants in Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces are complaining and asking us to increase supply." Director Xu said.

"The payment for this thousand tons of salt, your manager has deducted it again, right?" Dai Li asked.

"Bureau, we also have no choice, the conference has just ended, and there are a lot of people from all over the country who come to write off the expenses, and we can't make ends meet, so we have no choice but to embezzle the money first."

"Moreover, from now on, the bureau headquarters will send goods worth 30 million yuan to the Shanghai market every month, and the funds of the purchasing points in various places are extremely tight, and I have already made three reports, asking the bureau to apply for funds from the Quartermaster Department as soon as possible.

"I think that Huatong Trading Company has also made a lot of money in recent years with the help of the relationship of the Military Command Bureau, and as long as the salt sales of the Chang'an Trading Company can be doubled as long as it remains at 1,000 tons per month, it will be better, and our Military Command Bureau can continue to borrow this money temporarily." Director Xu was not embarrassed at all.

The manager's office is ostensibly responsible for receiving money from the Quartermaster Service, allocating the money to the departments of the bureau headquarters and the provincial stations below, and then writing off the use of funds.

However, in fact, the manager's office, which is responsible for all kinds of smuggling transactions of the Military Control Bureau, especially the smuggling transactions with the Huatong Trading Company, has only become a situation in which it has been unable to enter and exit since March.

"You don't know the inside story of the 30 million goods sent every month, but let me tell you, I have applied for a huge amount of money from the commission, and I don't need to move the department's own funds. Qi Wu, has the implementation plan of the special coupon been implemented? Dai Li asked.

According to Chen Mingxiang's plan, the bureau headquarters will come up with 300 million yuan within at least five months as funds to crack down on Li Shiqun.

Fortunately, Shangfeng is also very optimistic about this plan, at least he can exchange 30,000 tons of rice for the army of the Shancheng government, so he is very happy to approve it, and Shangfeng's confidence in Chunfeng's work ability is no less than that of Dai Li.

It's just that in this way, the Military Command Bureau itself will be uncomfortable, and so many people are waiting for funds to eat and carry out their work, and it is absolutely impossible to do it without money.

"It has already begun, the first batch starts from Zhejiang Province and Jiangsu Province, the number is 20 million special coupons, and the Zhejiang Provincial Station and the Jiangsu Provincial Station of the Military Command Bureau are responsible for the implementation. Mao Renfeng said.

That is to say, far water cannot quench the thirst of the near, and it is not impossible to use special coupons to alleviate the expenses of the Military Command Bureau, but it requires a process, and this method cannot be effective at once.

Things are back to square one, and the only input that the Military Command Bureau can support is the payment for the sale of salt, but the direct station itself is financially tight, and if the bureau headquarters deducts the payment, it will be a bit too much.

Dai Li also found it difficult to open his mouth and said to Chen Mingxiang, in his heart, this student has done the best and his performance is impeccable, there are so many people in the Military Command Bureau, and when something happens, Chen Mingxiang will be pressured, what about the rest of the people? Just waiting to enjoy Chen Mingxiang's hard work?

In addition to the salt from Chang'an Trading Company, I heard that Chen Mingxiang was smuggling salt from the Changlu Salt Field in Jincheng recently, and the Su Provincial Station reported that the salt was unloaded from Zhenjiang Port and Hangzhou and Yongcheng Ports in eastern Zhejiang."

"We negotiated with him to let Chen Mingxiang allocate 1,000 tons of salt to the Military Control Bureau every month, which can be regarded as a temporary loan from us, and when the funds for the special coupon plan are in place, we will return to him with interest." Pan Qiwu said.

Since the boss has encountered difficulties, of course the subordinates must come forward, and would rather make Chen Mingxiang uncomfortable than make the boss uncomfortable, which is also the duty of the secretary.

The more times like this, the more subordinates who can share their worries and solve problems for the Military Unification Bureau, the more they will be appreciated by the boss, and Chen Mingxiang naturally needs such an opportunity, which is his responsibility as a teacher.
