"Bei Zeping followed me to Yunhua Restaurant, stayed for a while and then left? Don't worry about him for a while, Kitazawa Ping is much smarter than Kojima Nariko, and he knows that stalking will cause trouble for himself, in the territory of Shanghai, my eyes are wider than his, and some people are ventilating and reporting. ”

"Guojun, there is one thing I have to tell you in advance, I have to use more than half of the gold you have stolen from the Japanese. The Military Command Bureau is now in great financial difficulties, and needs salt from the Yanzhou base area as a temporary source of income, but it will not give me payment, and this time I plan to propose 2,000 gold bars as the capital of the Chang'an Trading Bank. Chen Mingxiang said.

Kitazawa Ping is an expert in intelligence, knows how to calculate the stakes, and follows himself in the Shanghai market for a long time, and sooner or later he will show his feet, so he simply does not use this method.

Chen Mingxiang knows very well in his heart that whenever he encounters a big fish like himself, the other party will never give up, which also indicates that he will take other means.

"Sir, this batch of gold is given to you by our brother, as long as you need it, we don't say a word, I will take out two thousand gold bars tonight." Zhou Guojun did not hesitate at all.

"All of them are packed and transported to the warehouse of the headquarters of Huatong Trading Company, and a special person will be sent to watch, half of them are ready to be sent to Shaanxi Province by car, and I will wait for the notice of the location, and the other 1,000 may be sent to the dock warehouse in Zhenjiang for storage, but before that, you have to help me do something."

"The Japanese army seized the four major silver buildings such as Fang Jiuxia and Lao Fengxiang in Shanghai, you find the master of gold and silver utensils, and re-melt all the gold bars and cast them again, and the Jianghai customs mark on them must be completely eliminated, otherwise there will still be trouble."

"The remaining more than 1,200 gold bars, after the recasting, will be transported to the Marat villa for storage, and in the future, the special bonds will pour into the financial market, and the depreciation rate of the reserve bonds will be faster, maybe these gold is the capital of our life." Chen Mingxiang said.

At this time, the shareholders of the North China Salt Industry Co., Ltd. almost blew up their lungs, and originally planned to unite with the Central China Salt Company to squeeze Chen Mingxiang out of the salt market, but they did not expect that the gendarmerie in Central China intervened, arrested a large group of salt merchants, and made the matter worse.

How dare the salt merchants fight with the gendarmerie, money is important or life is important, this account can be calculated clearly, and what is even more troublesome is that the action in Central China has not yet ended, and the operation in North China has begun.

"This is an official letter jointly sent by the North China Front Command and the Consulate General in Beiping, ordering all salt merchants and cooperatives to sell salt at a uniform price, and not to adjust the price without permission, nor to reduce the ration quantity to cause a salt shortage."

"I have received information from Tokyo that the major companies have joined forces to appeal to the Cabinet and the Ministry of War, but they have been rejected, which also shows that the Imperial Government and the Ministry of War have acquiesced in this matter." said the president of North China Salt Industry Co., Ltd.

Most of Japan's zaibatsu headquarters were in Tokyo, and representatives of their descendants were sent to various locations, and after receiving the request of the branches, the leaders of the zaibatsu quickly united and submitted a petition to the cabinet and the military department.

It is required to revoke the sales rights and salt fields of the Shanghai Haiyuan Salt Company in the Changlu Salt Farm, and restore the situation that was previously controlled exclusively by the North China Salt Industry Co., Ltd., which is conducive to the concentration of resources, the delivery of more raw salt to the empire, and the stability of the salt market in North China.

To put it bluntly, this is a hidden threat, and the chaebols cannot sit idly by and watch local Chinese enterprises, even if there is a shadow of the garrison behind them, to take a piece of the pie from the monopoly industry.

However, before that, the Consulate General in Shanghai and the Consulate General in Beiping had jointly submitted a statement to the Cabinet and the Ministry of Military Affairs that alleviating the salt shortage in central China was only a secondary task, and the most important thing was to use the Haiyuan Salt Company to warn the chaebols.

The North China Salt Industry Co., Ltd. relied on its control of the Changlu Salt Farm to reap a lot of benefits, but the military department did not benefit much, and the price of the orders undertaken by the chaebol behind it did not decrease.

What is even more excessive is that the "military salt" requisitioned by the Japanese army in North China from the Changlu Salt Farm has often been delayed, and this is a strategy to sabotage the war by war.

Originally, the so-called new policy was introduced for the purpose of knocking down on the chaebols, and after receiving the reports from the two consulates-general, if the cabinet and the military department were biased towards the chaebols, it would be hell!

"That's not all, North China sent the gendarmerie headquarters to the gendarmerie in various places to talk to the salt merchants and the leaders of the local cooperatives, and told them that they were not to blame for the past, and if they found out that there was a phenomenon of withholding salt or selling salt at a high price after the conversation, they would be squatted in the prison of the gendarmerie team, and in such a situation, who would dare to cooperate with us?" Said a representative of Mitsui.

"See, the gendarmerie headquarters has come forward, which means that Haiyuan Salt Company is just a tool used to suppress us, we are competing with Chen Mingxiang, just to find an excuse for others, maybe they want us to make things bigger!"

"The headquarters has sent me a telegram that we must make concessions to the garrison when necessary, and we can't get entangled in such trivial matters, if they implement military management of the Changlu salt farm, then our losses will be great, and hundreds of thousands of tons of raw salt transported back to China every year are one of the bases of industrial raw materials for major enterprises." This was stated by the representative of Mitsubishi.

Since the headquarters could not withstand the pressure, the representatives stationed in North China would not take the risk and carry the garrison to the death, the key is that they all knew the importance of the Changlu Salt Field to the empire, and Chen Mingxiang could not set off any big waves.

The frenzied plundering of raw salt by the Japanese invaders and chaebols is not only for the sake of the living needs of the Japanese people, but more importantly, raw salt is an indispensable industrial raw material, which has an irreplaceable role in Japan's military production, and is also necessary for the manufacture of weapons to complete orders and obtain wealth.

Therefore, the more than 10,000 tons of salt that Chen Mingxiang transported from the Changlu Salt Field every month were not so difficult to accept compared with the orders and resources obtained by the military department.

This is also a matter of timing, if the Japanese government changes its strategy, even if the garrison wants to suppress the zaibatsu's monopoly on resources, it is almost impossible.

Because the Japanese army does not have its own military-industrial system, it is possible to fight a war, but it is impossible to convert the seized resources into war materials, and it must be done with the help of the zaibatsu.

"The North China Military Police Headquarters sent a telegram directly to my radio station on the 76th today, saying that the salt problem in the Changlu Salt Farm has been successfully resolved, and it is still proceeding according to the original steps."

"The output of the Changlu Salt Farm every month plus the amount of smuggled salt, more than 10,000 tons, it is very easy to give 1,000 tons to the bureau headquarters, you can send electricity to Boss Dai, no matter how difficult our direct station is, we must find ways to resolutely complete the instructions of the bureau headquarters." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
