Although most of the grain that the speculators had been hoarding for a long time was forcibly purchased by the puppet city government and the Japanese side, at the same time, they also received large sums of money.

When the rice in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui provinces matures, this group of people will definitely buy frantically to make up for their losses at high prices, which invisibly also provided great help to Chen Mingxiang's plan to eradicate Li Shiqun.

There is another reason that cannot be said why the Japanese are trying to obtain this condition for speculators: The grain that the Japanese have stolen at a low price or even looted in the occupied areas is used to make military rations, and although the grain prices of the speculators are black, these grains are not sold to the Japanese, but to the citizens of Shanghai at a high price.

When the situation fell into crisis again in the future, and there was really no way, Chen Mingxiang planned to instigate the city government and the Japanese side to engage them again, and the speculators had also become emergency warehouses.

"Mingxiang, although I am used to seeing large cargo transactions around you, hundreds of millions of yuan is not nothing, but the profits of this grain transaction are so high, I have encountered it for the first time, and I actually made a net profit of six million US dollars at one time, and we can fall half of it no matter how bad it is, right?"

"The market price of grain is 1,000 yuan per stone of rice, and if you rise to 2,000 yuan in middle storage coupons, aren't you afraid that those Japanese will come to you to settle accounts after they know the truth?" Wang Zhen said with a smile.

The two of them stood on the steps at the door of Marat's villa, watching a large group of grain merchants leave their homes in their respective cars, and she couldn't help but ask.

Since Chen Mingxiang and the representatives of the grain merchants have finished communicating the main contents, and both sides have agreed to each other's conditions, the banquet that night is naturally a joy for the guests and hosts. Naturally, the twelve grain merchants who were released from the prison of the gendarmerie headquarters did not return to the prison, but went home directly after drinking.

Starting tomorrow, they will successively transport the grain stored to the Shanghai Grain Bureau, and then distribute it to the citizens as soon as possible to alleviate the grain shortage, and also transport 30,000 tons of rice to Chen Mingxiang's warehouse.

Chen Mingxiang had a bumper harvest in this incident, and the grain merchants did not intend to hand over the dollars and gold from the Gendarmerie Headquarters, the Marine Corps Headquarters, and the Consulate General in Shanghai, but directly replaced them with his own dividends.

Chen Mingxiang did not make a penny of the 36,000 tons of grain purchased by the city government's rice ration, the price was too low, and the biggest gain was the 30,000 tons of white rice purchased for the Japanese Navy's Huaxia fleet.

Kodama is procured according to 2,000 pieces of central storage bonds per stone, one ton is 40,000 pieces of central storage bonds, and 30,000 tons is 1200000000000000 yuan of central storage bonds.

Even if it is the rate of 100 central reserve bonds to one dollar, this central reserve bond is converted to 12 million US dollars, but the Kodama agency gave 15 million US dollars.

Chen Mingxiang gave the grain merchants natural dollars, in the current war period, but all businessmen who have a little ability like to save some hard currency, which is much stronger than the China Reserve Bonds, he used six million US dollars to get things done, which is equivalent to 1,000 yuan of China Reserve Bills per stone of rice.

But the grain merchants agreed to cooperate, and the market price of white rice began to speculate to 2,000 yuan per stone of Chinese storage bonds. Because the price is not the most important thing, but the market simply has no supply.

According to this calculation, there are still 9 million US dollars left in the remaining payment, and Chen Mingxiang first left 6 million US dollars, which is the payment he deserves, and then took out 3 million US dollars to divide it.

Kodama and Shifu are one million dollars, and Makita Kakuzaburo and the Marine Corps commander are one million dollars, and they are responsible for settling inquiries within the navy.

The Consulate General in Shanghai and other offices are responsible for withstanding the pressure from the upper echelons with a share of $1 million, and if it is known that the Chinese Fleet Command has purchased 30,000 tons of rice when there is a grain shortage in Shanghai, it will be a minor trouble.

"What am I afraid of? It was the Japanese Navy's Fleet Command that proposed to purchase food, and I didn't give it to the Kuomintang or the underground party, so the Japanese wouldn't even have to sanction their own navy, right? Besides, without my coordination, the Japanese Navy could get 30,000 tons of rice from speculators? ”

"These millions are where my value lies, they justifiably rely on me to make money, it can be said that pie can fall from the sky while sitting in the office, and it is too expensive to buy food, is there any reason for heaven?"

"This time, I will leave four million US dollars, take one million US dollars to the gendarmerie, dredge up the relationship, give 500,000 US dollars to the garrison headquarters, and 500,000 US dollars to the related accounts of the Mei organ, and there will be no future troubles in this matter, and there will be no disadvantage with money!" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

He wanted to give all the 30,000 tons of rice to the people of Shanghai, but he really couldn't do it!

These speculators can sell rice to the Japanese navy, but they will never agree to sell it to the people of Shanghai at such a price, and if Chen Mingxiang really does this, he will inevitably be counterattacked, and the key is that he has no suitable excuse, and although the opportunity is good, he cannot take advantage of it.

"Mingxiang, you want the grain merchants to smuggle the military rations ordered by the navy to the warehouse for storage in the middle of the night, and also claim that they want to raise the price to 2,000 yuan per stone, how do I feel that you want to cheat people? Let me think, are you going to teach Kitazawa a lesson? Wang Zhen asked.

She heard all the conversations at the banquet, and Chen Mingxiang asked these speculators to transport 30,000 tons of white rice to their designated warehouses at night and keep them strictly secret from the outside world.

In recent years, the Japanese navy has been able to spend several million dollars to buy grain, and it must have something to do with the army, and the navy and the army do not deal with each other; this is something that the businessmen in Shanghai know about.

"In the case of an extreme shortage of food, if Kitazawa Ping finds out that I have hoarded a large amount of food, he will naturally provoke an incident, and he knows that the relationship between the major organs of our garrison is very strong, and it is useless to sue me to the Consulate General in Shanghai or the garrison headquarters, let alone the headquarters of the gendarmerie."

"If you want to use the food shortage in Shanghai to punish me, you must come forward with the head of the agency, Kaneshiro Shibayama, and the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army will investigate, but in this way, he will offend more people, and the big pit is not easy to dig at present, so let's make a small pit to play a game first." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

"But have you thought about it, Kitazawa Ping is an old spy of the Japanese intelligence agency, he will definitely not come forward to fight you directly, he must arrange other channels, and the effect of this pit will be greatly reduced." Wang Zhen said.
