Hearing Wu Ziying's words, even Chen Mingxiang couldn't help but appreciate it, what a smart girl, worthy of being highly educated and born in a merchant family, understands it completely correctly.

Sandpiper and mussels compete for the profits of fishermen, creating an environment of antagonism and competition, so that Haiyuan Salt Company becomes the arbiter, and both parties must rely on the company to obtain benefits and even survive, and achieve the maximum benefit.

"You're very smart, it's a bit condescending to be my secretary, and if there is no competition, the new salt merchants will soon move fast towards the monopoly road, which is not my intention." Chen Mingxiang nodded and said.

Whether it is a new salt merchant or an old salt merchant, they actually did not understand the fact that in the places that Haiyuan Salt Company can cover, the real monopoly is Chen Mingxiang, they are just downstream wholesalers, it is good to be able to drink soup, and they still want to eat meat?

"Boss, in our Central China region, how many beautiful girls want to be your secretary, I am very satisfied with this opportunity, and I dare not have too high expectations."

"The secretary of the police chief, the police chiefs everywhere want to give me a face, the police chief of Guangling, even want to give gifts to my family during the New Year, and even take my family's status in Guangling is rising, I have a small request." Wu Ziying said with a smile like a flower.

"Look, the fox tail is here, let's hear it." Chen Mingxiang also smiled.

"Boss, my family also sells salt in Guangling, can you sign a salt purchase license for my family, my father also wants to do salt wholesale business." Wu Ziying said.

Wholesale needs more capital than retail, but retail is definitely not as fast as wholesale to make money, wholesale is aimed at salt shops, the number is large and fast, retail is aimed at the people, more trivial cycle is long, and the status in the industry is a world of difference.

The so-called procurement license, to put it bluntly, is the qualification to become a salt merchant, with this certificate, you can wholesale salt from Haiyuan Salt Company,

"What, in a hurry to make money for yourself and save your dowry?" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

He was not disgusted with his secretary's request, Wu Ziying was not only in charge of the affairs of the police department, but also helped him contact the new salt merchant forces in Jiangnan and Jiangbei.

During the Republic of China, there was no qualification for wholesale sales of salt, as long as you have the money to do this kind of trading, anyone can join, but the problem is that whether you can buy the goods is the most critical.

"Yes, at the age of twenty-six, it is estimated that there are at least two or three children before, in the eyes of others, I am just an old girl, if I don't save some dowry for myself, what if no one marries, boss, you see that I look okay, or you can take me in!" Wu Ziying said with a smile.

This is a very scheming girl, who knows how to use this innocuous joke to close the distance with her boss, no wonder she was chosen by the salt merchants as a liaison!

"The most important thing in Shanghai is beautiful girls, if I want a woman, I can line up from this 76th to the Huangpu River, but it is rare to be as smart as you."

"Okay, I'll write you a note, take it to Haiyuan Salt Industry Company to go through the formalities, take the share of Changlu Salt Farm, how much is needed, wait for your father to coordinate with the new salt merchants, and start the operation from the next batch of salt." Chen Mingxiang said.

After teasing his secretary for a while, Chen Mingxiang, who was in a good mood, had just returned home, and when he heard Wang Zhenyi's telegram from the bureau headquarters, his mood suddenly became bad.

The headquarters of the bureau not only wants the Chang'an Trading Bank to give the bureau headquarters 1,000 tons of lake salt every month, but also wants the Haiyuan Salt Industry Company to give 1,000 tons of sea salt to the Zhejiang Provincial Station every month, which is a dead order and must be completed.

The most important thing is that it doesn't matter if the bureau headquarters needs salt, but it doesn't even give money! As for the purchase money, Chen Mingxiang had to find a way to do it himself, and the bureau headquarters would give him all of it in three months at most.

"It seems that after the celebration meeting on April 1, there was another problem with the funding of our Military Command Bureau, forcing Boss Dai to put the idea of salt income to alleviate the predicament, 2,000 tons a month does not sound like much, but including the payment for goods, this amount of money is a lot."

"I got the news that the highest price per load of salt in Guangdong Province is 1,400 yuan of legal currency, which is 14 yuan per catty, which belongs to the regional price, but even in Sichuan Province, it has reached more than 600 yuan per load, 6 yuan per catty, 12,000 yuan per ton, which is equivalent to 24 million legal currency per month." Wang Zhen said.

"What can I do? For the sake of money, even Boss Dai has started to play hooligans, and I dare to resist and disobey? As a subordinate, I only have the part of obedience, so many local stations in the Military Command Bureau, and the establishment of tens of thousands of people, just caught me and didn't let go, which is really unbalanced in my heart. ”

"The sea salt in Changlu Salt Farm is easy to handle, as for Lake Salt, I will go to the relevant personnel tonight to contact Yanzhou and continue to deliver goods to Chang'an Trading Bank, which is forcing me to contact the underground party!" It looks like I'm going to have to ask for a power of attorney to avoid someone looking for a back account in the future! Chen Mingxiang said.

This is true, he really wants to find Pan Qiwu and ask Boss Dai to sign a secret warrant granting him access to the underground party, otherwise, he is likely to become an attack in the future.

The committee of the Yamashiro government, but when he heard about the underground party, he gritted his teeth with hatred, no matter how much credit he made for the Yamashiro government, whoever got involved in the underground party was bound to be unlucky.

"Your company does not have a bank as a transit channel in the Guotong Region, and the distance between the two places is too far, so it is very inconvenient to send money, and the head of the base area also agrees to pay the payment from Shanghai, so it is also convenient to directly allocate it to the two base areas in southern and northern Jiangsu."

"Mingxiang, I have a reluctant request on behalf of the organization, the depreciation of the fiat currency is very fast, almost every once in a while, there are practical difficulties in purchasing materials from the base, the chief wants to ask you to help, the salt payment is exchanged for some hard currency, preferably gold, you can operate according to the price of the black market, for this, the leaders understand, the current Shanghai market, gold exchange is not easy." Zheng Tonghui said.

"Black market? Ten taels of gold was 20,000 yuan last year, and it has risen to 30,000 this year, the value of your one ton of lake salt is less than three thousand, and ten tons are exchanged for a gold bar, but salt is the most important financial support for the Yanzhou base, how much salt can be exchanged for? Chen Mingxiang said.

"I know what you're saying is the truth, I'm only going to exchange a hundred in the early stage, and in order to use it in a particularly urgent time, I can't do it without some reserves in my hand." Zheng Tonghui said.

Chen Mingxiang said that the 30,000 yuan of the reserve coupon is already a conscience price, in fact, there is no 35,000 yuan, don't want to exchange for one. The price of rice in Shanghai has risen too fast, and the price of rice has increased by more than 100 times compared with before the Anti-Japanese War.
