Chapter 310: The Weasel Greets the Chicken

Looking at the indignant look of Prince Kong, Chen Qiang opened his mouth and asked, "Master Kong, what is the content of the "Interim Measures for Import and Export Trade" you are talking about? ”

"What else can there be, it's deliberately aimed at me!" Kong Dagongzi snorted coldly, and continued: "This "Interim Measures for Import and Export Trade", to put it bluntly, is to control businessmen who do import and export trade, no matter what you import or export, you must have a license, otherwise you will not be allowed to do import and export trade!" ”

Chen Qiang instantly understood that the "Interim Measures for Import and Export Trade" probably stipulates an import and export license or something. If a businessman wants to engage in import and export trade after entering and exiting, he must obtain an import and export license from the relevant state organs, otherwise it is equivalent to smuggling.

So Chen Qiang said: "I don't think it's anything, if you want to do Sino-US trade, just get a license!" Just by virtue of your identity, you are still worried about getting an import and export license? ”

"It's that simple! Do you think this license can be done if anyone wants to" Kong Dagongzi shook his head, and continued: "If this "Interim Measures for Import and Export Trade" is implemented, it will inevitably become a spoils sharing conference, TV, as the initiator, will get the most benefits, all the good things are sold by TV, and the big head must be made by TV, and others will just follow TV to drink soup!" ”

Chen Qiang nodded suddenly, this so-called "Interim Measures for Import and Export Trade" is completely different from the import and export license of later generations.

In China's modern history, there was a special class, and that was the compradors. Compradors mainly refer to those Chinese businessmen who help the West to carry out bilateral trade with China, and unlike those businessmen who do import and export trade in later generations, the modern comprador class is a community with bureaucrats and capitalists, that is, the so-called "bureaucratic comprador bourgeoisie", which is also one of the "three mountains" of old China.

In the thirties and forties, the bureaucratic comprador bourgeoisie was the actual controller of power in China, and many high-ranking officials and important officials in the government of the Republic of China were born as compradors, such as the Confucian family and the Song family, both of which were once the top compradors in China.

The "Interim Measures for Import and Export Trade" proposed by Mr. Song is actually an attempt to control the import of goods by compradors from abroad, and thus to control the import trade of the whole of China.

For example, if a comprador wants to do a car import business, but Mr. Song does not give him a permit, then the comprador will not be able to import cars, and he will import cars from foreign countries to sell, which is equivalent to smuggling.

As for those imported products that are more profitable, Mr. Song will definitely not easily give them to others, of course, he will let his own people operate and make a profit. Therefore, the import license of those important commodities will inevitably fall into the hands of the Song family first. As for other compradors, they will divide up the import licenses of other commodities, so the prince of Kong called this "Interim Measures for Import and Export Trade" a meeting to share the spoils.

In modern China, the industrial foundation is weak, and most of the industrial products need to rely on imports, while in the twenties and thirties, the prices of domestic industrial products were relatively stable. From the early days when British and French products flowed into the Chinese market in large quantities, and later into the United States and Japan, foreign industrial products also began fierce competition in order to seize the market, including price wars, such as foreign cloth and other materials, the price has been in a state of decline. However, the prices of large-scale industrial products produced by foreign countries are relatively low, and even many foreign goods are easily pressed to the ground because of their high quality and low price.

China at that time was much like modern African countries, because it had no industry of its own, so it could only sell its own mineral resources and raw materials in exchange for industrial products. But in general, the import and export trade is free, whether it is buying industrial products or selling mineral raw materials, they are all settled according to the market price, and neither the buyer nor the seller suffers a loss.

However, after the end of World War II, domestic prices soared, the people were struggling to make a living, and Nanjing's unlimited issuance of gold yuan bills caused inflation was one of the reasons, and the other reason was that those big compradors monopolized foreign trade, manipulated the market, and raised prices, thus grabbing amazing profits, and the starting point of all this was the "Interim Measures for Import and Export Trade" formulated by Mr. Song.

Historically, Mr. Song established the Fuzhong Company, with his younger brother as the general manager, and used the "Interim Measures for Import and Export Trade" to restrict ordinary industrial and commercial households from importing all kinds of important materials from abroad, but allowed the official and commercial enterprises run by bureaucratic tycoons to use their privileges to obtain import licenses and import various materials in large quantities. However, the bureaucrats' enterprises do not put the goods on the market after importing them, but hoarding them, artificially creating shortages of goods, and thus driving up prices for profit. As a result, speculation was rampant, "officials and businessmen" were rampant, the black market was rampant, prices were soaring, the market was chaotic, and public resentment was boiling.

To put it simply, a "Provisional Measures for Import and Export Trade" can justifiably monopolize China's foreign trade by bureaucratic compradors like Mr. Song. At that time, there was no industry in China at all, so monopolizing foreign trade was equivalent to monopolizing the industrial commodities of the whole of China.

Once an industry or a product is monopolized by capitalists, its price will inevitably be like Wang Feng sings: I want to fly higher!

The well-known Yangzi Company, which was also established by Kong Dagongzi, may be because the relationship between Kong Dagongzi and Mr. Song was not harmonious, so he did not get too many licenses for important commodities, so a large part of Yangzi's income came from smuggling.

According to the contents published in the "Central Daily" in 1948, during the "financial rectification" period, the goods seized by the Yangzi Company included sugar, kerosene, Western medicine, cloth, etc., while automobiles, industrial equipment, and telecommunications equipment were not within the scope of Yangzi's business, because the Yangzi Company could not obtain a license for these products, so it could only sell some cheap goods such as tobacco, alcohol, sugar, and tea. However, things such as sugar, kerosene, and cloth are all necessities of life for ordinary people, and in order to make huge profits, Yangzi Company also makes a fuss about these daily necessities to raise prices, thus making prices soar even more.

And these unlicensed products, Yangzi companies are smuggled into China for profit. At that time, when the prince of the Jiang family went to Shanghai to rectify the finance, he had seized the cosmetics warehouse of Yangzi Company, which originally did not have a cosmetics import license, and it was obvious that these cosmetics were smuggled in.

Now after Mr. Song returned to China, he really came up with the "Interim Measures for Import and Export Trade".

At the banquet a few days ago, Chen Qiang helped Mr. Kong blow it up, making Mr. Song think that Mr. Kong was very rich, so Mr. Song also had a deep fear of Mr. Kong. Mr. Song calculated an account, the money that Prince Kong made in the United States, coupled with the original family background of the Kong family, wouldn't the funds in the hands of Prince Kong exceed the Song family!

Doing international trade is originally to take advantage of the more money passes, and if you have enough money in your hand, you can even hurt others with this and directly throw money to kill your opponent. What's more, the United States is originally a capitalist society, and those American businessmen are all masters who recognize money but not people, if the prince of Kong has more money in his hands, then the Song family will inevitably be suppressed by the Kong family in Sino-US trade.

Mr. Song can't control the American traders, but he can manage the Chinese compradors. You can buy things from the Americans, but I won't give you an import license, so the goods you import can't be shipped to China to sell.

Once the "Interim Measures for Import and Export Trade" is implemented, even if Kong Dagongzi has money, Sino-US trade is still what Mr. Song said, and those important materials that make money are not given an import license, so you can only make some unprofitable things such as tobacco, alcohol, sugar and tea.

I have to say that Jiang is still old and spicy, compared to speculation, Mr. Song is indeed inferior to Mr. Kong, but compared to political means, Mr. Kong is too far worse than Mr. Song. No matter how much Prince Kong makes in the United States, Mr. Song can easily seize the initiative by using the political resources in his hands.

Chen Qiang figured this out and a smile appeared on his face.

"I'm being targeted by TV here, why are you still laughing, did you deliberately watch me laugh!" Master Kong said quite dissatisfied, and the posture was about to flip the table.

Chen Qiang waved his hand: "Master Kong, don't worry, it's not like there's no way." ”

"You have a way, tell me about it!" Master Kong hurriedly said.

"First of all, I want to confirm, can Master Kong and Mrs. Kong help with this matter?" Chen Qiang asked.

Young Master Kong shook his head: "My father's side doesn't have to count on it, TV has always looked down on my father, he thinks that his father is ambitious and talented." As for the mother, hey! Mother's personality has always been strong, and the relationship between her and TV is also very stiff, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help. ”

Although Mrs. Kong and Mr. Song are sisters and brothers, but in the struggle between the two families of Kong and Song, Mrs. Kong is of course on her husband's side, Mrs. Kong, as the eldest sister in the family, has an extremely strong personality, so it has also led to more contradictions between Mrs. Kong and Mr. Song's sister and brother.

Chen Qiang didn't ask much about the contradictions between the Kong and Song families, he just smiled slightly and said, "Then there is only one person who can help you." ”

"Who is it?" Grand Prince Kong immediately asked.

"Of course it's your aunt, Madame Jiang!" Chen Qiang replied.

"Yes, I can go to my aunt!" Master Kong said as if he had woken up from a dream.

After Chen Qiang's reminder, Prince Kong finally remembered that Mrs. Jiang.

The relationship between Prince Kong and Madame Jiang is very close, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Madame Jiang regards Mr. Kong as her own.

When Madame Chiang visited the United States, Prince Kong was Madame Chiang's secretary, and in the future, Mr. Chiang made money from the treasury in exchange for US dollars, which also relied on Madame Chiang's relationship.

When the prince of the Jiang family was rectifying the finance in Shanghai, he finally found the head of the prince Kong, and the prince immediately asked Mrs. Jiang for help, and Mrs. Jiang learned that her nephew was in trouble, so she personally came to Shanghai from Nanjing and reprimanded the prince, so the prince's plan to rectify the financial system had to end without a problem. From this point, it can also be seen that Madame Jiang blessed Prince Kong.

Mrs. Jiang has no children, so she is relatively good to several of her juniors, and it is obvious that Mrs. Jiang intends to rely on these juniors when she is old. Compared with the two sons of the Jiang family, although they both call her "mother", they are not related by blood after all, and Mrs. Jiang, who is a stepmother, does not expect others to be kind to her in the future.

Among Mrs. Jiang's descendants, Prince Kong is the eldest man, so Prince Kong is also the most favored by this aunt, and Mrs. Jiang has been deliberately supporting her eldest nephew, and there are even rumors among the people that Mrs. Jiang once recommended Prince Kong to compete with the prince of the Jiang family for the position of "Executive President".

Therefore, this time about the "Interim Measures for Import and Export Trade", if Young Master Kong really went to Madame Jiang, maybe he would really respond to his request.

Mr. Song dared to contradict his eldest sister and draw a line with his second sister, but he never dared to offend his little sister, after all, the identity and status of his brother-in-law were there, and the power in Mr. Song's hands depended on that brother-in-law.

Chen Qiang asked Mr. Kong to find Mrs. Jiang, of course, it was not to help Mr. Kong, Chen Qiang was also a weasel to give a New Year's greeting to the chicken, and he didn't have a good heart.

Originally, this incident was just a fight between the Kong and Song families, but once Madame Jiang was involved, things would become even more complicated.

In fact, in the Kong-Song dispute, Mrs. Jiang has always been very difficult to be caught in the middle, even if she is a peacemaker, she will help any party, which will cause dissatisfaction on the other side. And if Mrs. Jiang is directly involved in the conflict of interests between the Kong and Song families, then the situation will be completely different, you are a peacemaker and still want to get a piece of the pie, then who will trust you as a peacemaker? At that time, the battle between the Kong and Song families is likely to become the battle between the three families of Jiang, Kong and Song.

What Chen Qiang wants to see is this result, taking advantage of Mr. Song's "Interim Measures for Import and Export Trade" this time, and using Young Master Kong to pull Mrs. Jiang into the water. Originally, two jackals were fighting for a piece of meat, and suddenly a tiger came out, which was even more exciting. It would be even better if we could take this opportunity to make the relationship between the three families deteriorate more and more.

Prince Kong obviously didn't realize Chen Qiang's true intentions, and he thought that Chen Qiang was giving advice for himself, so he excitedly planned to go to the aunt for help.

……

Chen Qiang, the weasel, also returned to his office after greeting the chickens.

As soon as he entered the room, the secretary hurriedly walked over.

"Boss, Mr. Beckland just called and told you to go to the lab immediately." The secretary spoke.

"Did Beckland say anything?" Chen Qiang asked.

"Mr. Beckland said that a new type of tennis string has been developed!"
