The purchase of soybeans continues, but the situation is very unfavorable to the Japanese, they can't come up with enough cash, so they can only use bonds to make up the amount, after all, there are not many filial guys like Liu Wenxin, and other large and small comprador businessmen are weighing the pros and cons.

The Mukden government is more tightly organized, and the arrangement of manpower and transportation capacity is more appropriate, so the cost can be kept very low. Comprador merchants, on the other hand, have to pay huge freight costs, hire specialized personnel, and raise prices high enough to be attractive.

These guys calculated that each load of soybeans just received in their hands would cost about three and a half yuan, plus transportation and storage, and the zuihou would be delivered to the Japanese at least four yuan or more, which was already higher than the purchase price of the Japanese in previous years.

Moreover, compradors also exist in various levels, and they have to be peeled layer by layer, and most of the low-level compradors carefully calculated and found that not only could not make money, but also lost money. Now they are all stupid, no one is a filial son and grandson of the Japanese, how can they give them money, especially the Japanese take some bonds to make up the number, their hearts are also beating drums, seven up and eight down, there is no accurate score.

Therefore, some guys simply don't do it for the Japanese, they are ready to transfer the soybeans in their hands to the Mukden government, for these guys who act as helpers for the Japanese, the Mukden government will definitely not let go easily, if you want the Mukden government to buy it, there is no problem, but the price must be lower, and each quintal is lower than the ordinary people.

The cost of their acquisition was basically about three yuan and a half, and as a result, they could only sell for two yuan and seven, and they lost eight dimes for each load, and 10,000 yuan was 8,000 yuan. According to the amount they bought, each person would have to pay at least thirty or fifty thousand, or even hundreds of thousands. This has already demanded more than half of the family property of these people, but it will not be sold to the Mukden government. Then it can only be sold to the Japanese, and of course it can be kept in their hands, but the trouble is even greater, and it will cost a lot of money just to store it.

After thinking about it and weighing it repeatedly, the paper pieces of the Japanese were not as attractive as the real money of the Mukden government. These people can only endure the pain of cutting their flesh and sell it to the Fengtian government, and they can still have a little cash left, so that they will not throw all the capital into it.

These guys also understand, so let's quickly figure out another way out. This bowl of rice of the Japanese is not delicious, and for these small fish and shrimp, the Mukden government will not kill them all, but still give them a chance to mend their ways.

After more than 20 busy days, soybean purchases are nearing completion. According to estimates, more than 80% of the soybeans fell into the control of the Feng army. The total is more than three billion catties. This amount of soybeans is an astronomical amount of money and must be put to good use.

Zhang Tinglan also returned to Fengtian in a hurry, and as soon as he got off the train, he found Wang Yongjiang, the governor of Wang Province, who has also been proud of the spring breeze recently, watching this battle for soybeans. Fengtian won the opportunity, and Wang Yongjiang could not be unhappy.

"To put it mildly, I calculated it, deducting the supply to the domestic market. More than 2.3 billion catties of soybeans to be exported have to be sold to the Japanese in previous years, which can produce 1800 million kilograms of soybean oil, all of which are exported to Europe and the United States, and the Japanese make huge profits from them, but now these soybeans have fallen into our hands, what to do next, we really have to plan well, and we can't let the Japanese take away all the benefits. ”

"Mr. Min Yuan, we have obtained so many soybeans, and the supply of oil mills in the Japanese is already seriously insufficient, and I estimate that most of them will put pressure on the Mukden government to sell soybeans to them."

"This is natural, humble words, do you say that we will not sell to them at all, and see that the Japanese oil mill is finished, or will we raise the price and make more money from the Japanese?" Wang Yongjiang said: "According to our previous jihua, we want to control soybeans, and then further grasp the pricing power, squeeze the profit margins of the Japanese little by little, and snatch this industry back from the hands of the Japanese. ”

"Of course." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Mr. Min Yuan, the Japanese oil mills are even more fragile than imagined, their funds are seriously insufficient, and they are already embarrassed enough to use bonds to deal with those comprador businessmen. I am ready to take advantage of this opportunity to crush the Japanese oil industry in one fell swoop and take tens of millions of profits every year into my own hands. ”

"To put it mildly, everything is about steady and steady, if you are not completely sure, let's not act rashly, after all, the oil industry is the lifeblood of the Japanese, and they will not give up easily."

Of course, Zhang Tinglan knew in his heart that he was originally planning to take back the entire industry in three or five years, but now there is a God-given opportunity, the Japanese have a large number of Russian bonds in their hands, this is their dead end, and in less than a month, the October Revolution will occur in Russia, and the bonds will immediately turn into waste paper, and all Japanese banks and oil mills will face the situation of capital rupture.

When Zhang Tinglan knew this, he had already made up his mind to advance Jihua and take advantage of this opportunity to kill the Japanese oil industry.

"Mr. Min Yuan, not long ago the Russians were defeated in Europe again, do you know the news?"

was talking about the Japanese, but Zhang Tinglan suddenly mentioned the Russians, and the jump was a bit big, but Wang Yongjiang still nodded subconsciously: "Speaking of which, thanks to Germany's defeat of Russia, if it weren't for the fact that the pressure on our border would definitely increase a lot." ”

"Mr. Min Yuan, the problem is here, the Russian people have long been tired of the war, and because of this, they overthrew the Tsar, but the new Provisional Government did not end the war as desired, but suffered another defeat, the Russian people will definitely not agree, now Russian society is a powder keg, about to explode, it is likely not to survive this winter."

Wang Yongjiang was so keen, hearing this, he gradually understood what Zhang Tinglan meant, so he said with a smile: "Are you saying that a revolution will break out in Russia, and then their bonds will completely become waste paper, and Nissin Oil Mill and Santai Oil Mill have a large number of bonds in their hands, and their capital chain will be broken, and our opportunity will come?" ”

"That's right, so I'm going to unite with the Americans and work out a plan to bury the Japanese completely."

"Will the plan be released?"

"First of all, let the Americans order a large amount of soybean oil from the Japanese, so that the Japanese will ask us to buy soybeans to meet the production needs, and we can sell some to the Japanese appropriately, but we have to trade in cash. As long as a month or two later, after the Japanese capital chain is broken, they have no money to buy our soybeans, they will face the possibility of double default, neither can provide enough soybean oil to the Americans, but also cannot pay for soybeans. ”

Zhang Tinglan outlined the whole jihua, Wang Yongjiang listened to it, and discussed it carefully with Zhang Tinglan, and found that there was no loophole, the only problem of the whole jihua was the Russians, if the Russians did not have problems, all jihua would be useless, but at a glance at Zhang Shenguo's confident appearance, referring to his past records, Wang Yongjiang still chose to believe him.

"To put it mildly, if you dare to conclude that there will be problems in Russia, then we have too much to do, not just to take back the oil industry." Wang Yongjiang said: "Russia is our biggest neighbor, if something goes wrong, there will inevitably be a large influx of refugees into the three eastern provinces, how should we deal with it, and in addition, there are millions of overseas Chinese in the Russian Far East, how should we deal with it, we need to come up with a plan." ”

"Mr. Min Yuan is right, in fact, the most important thing to do is to expand the army again, at least three to four divisions, to deal with possible chaos."

As soon as he heard that the army was going to be expanded by three or four divisions, Wang Yongjiang gasped: "Humble words, you are not dealing with the chaos, but you want to fish in troubled waters, right?" ”

Wang Yongjiang broke his mind, Zhang Tinglan did not deny it, and said with a smile: "Mr. Min Yuan, I have said more than once that Mukden lacks strategic depth, if Russia is in chaos, it is best to take the opportunity to take back the Outer Northeast, if not, we must also take Outer Mongolia in our hands, so that we have a vast hinterland and room for maneuver, otherwise we will be trapped in the three eastern provinces, and the development potential is really limited." ”

"Well, it makes sense, but we must not be reckless, we must take into account the bearing capacity of the three eastern provinces, now that the economy has just improved, a lot of money is invested in the military, and the gains outweigh the losses!"

After discussing with Wang Yongjiang, Zhang Tinglan immediately set out to do two things, the first is to set up an agricultural product trading center in the three eastern provinces, the location was selected in the North Market, and in the future, the bulk of agricultural product transactions will be carried out in this center, and this center is also responsible for providing the most authoritative price information and providing comprehensive services to merchants around the country, which is also a measure to grasp the pricing power of agricultural products.

Then Zhang Tinglan found Kerry, this guy has been busy recently, the oil mill has been established, the first batch of soybeans has been delivered to the factory, and the soybean oil has flowed out, waiting to be sold to the Guannai.

"Boss, do you have any orders for me?"

"I can't talk about orders, I want you to help me contact a big seller in the United States and place a large order for a Japanese oil mill, zuihou tens of millions of kilograms!"

"Boss, this is not a small amount, we don't seem to be obliged to help the Japanese, right?"

"Do you think I'll help the Japanese?" Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "I now have more than 80% of the soybean supply, and as long as someone orders a large amount from Japan, they will bow to us and buy soybeans at a high price." ”

"Boss, you are really wise!" Kerry suddenly realized: "Boss, I have a suggestion, you'd better control the shipment again, so that the Japanese can't complete the production contract, when we formulate the contract, stipulate high liquidated damages, so that the Japanese will definitely lose a lot, it's better to let these damn little people get out of the oil industry!"
