The meal in the old restaurant, in the end, Han Lin settled the account, the treatment of the two field agencies was really a little nervous, Boss Dai was worried that the treatment was too high, and the people below did not work, so he deliberately set the salary and funds low.

Such a meal is not worth mentioning at all for the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou Special Service Office, but it is a large expense for the Shanghai Special Economic Zone, and he rushed to pay the bill without missing this amount of money.

After separating from the people in the Shanghai Special Economic Zone, Han Lin drove back to the club, while Yue Yingfeng, the manager of Guangyuan Trading Company, had been waiting at the gate for a long time.

"Boss, your stay here is too simple, in fact, you can go to the hotel to stay, anyway, you can't stay in Shanghai for a few days." Yue Yingfeng said.

Items such as bedding and pillows, toiletries and teacups were brought by Han Lin himself from Jinling, and there was an old wooden bed in the room, and there was old furniture everywhere, which looked very messy.

"There's no need, I'm just sleeping here, it's enough to have a futon, a profession like ours, it's normal to sleep in the wilderness, it's not good for me to be pampered, let's talk about it, how is the situation of the company during this time?" Han Lin said with a smile.

"The business personnel we recruited have arrived at the destination according to the predetermined plan, the bristle family is divided into three groups, respectively, in the three provinces of Hunan and Jiangxi to purchase pig bristles, and the tung oil department is also divided into three groups, one group in Hunan and Jiangxi, one group in Yunnan and Guizhou, one group in Sichuan Province and Hubei Province, and the acquisition has begun."

"According to the telegram they sent, whether it is pig bristles or tung oil, the supply is very sufficient, the price is not high, but the price of export is also low, we subtract the cost of acquisition and transportation, the salaries and expenses of personnel, the profit is simply disappointing, it is better to sell the goods you import from the United States and Germany!" Yue Yingfeng said.

There was no outbreak of full-scale war, pig bristles and tung oil can be circulated freely, and the prelude to World War II has just begun, and there is no full-scale outbreak, the European battlefield is only tense at the moment, and the fat and oily United States is still a long time away from entering the war, and it is normal for prices to be low.

"I know in my heart, you don't have to worry about making a loss-making deal, German merchants will buy our goods at a higher price than the market, tung oil production is large, this can be sold all, as for the bristles, I can't sell them all, due to the shortage of funds in the development stage, for the first time, it will start to decrease every year at seventy."

"There are some things you don't know, and I can't say, remember one thing, now is the best time to buy bristles, taking advantage of the low price, we have to find ways to hoard a large number of pigs, not only in Shanghai, but also in Yunnan in the future."

"I'm not looking at the present, but in a few years' time, which will be the financial support of our entire office. In a few years, it was really difficult for us, and the small profits from the transaction had to support the expenses in addition to continuing to buy goods, but I think it was well worth it. Han Lin said.

There are some things he really can't say, as a traverser, he indifferently knows that four years later, the United States began to intervene in the war of World War II, buying bristles from China, and when the Pacific War broke out and the United States officially entered the war, the bristles would become sky-high.

But how can he say that to others?

"Boss, the acquisition funds we prepared in the early stage are too small, so many business personnel are buying materials outside, and they have to pay high freight, and the company's financial books will soon bottom out, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Yue Yingfeng said.

"This is your job, the goods from the nearest province in Shanghai, must give priority to the payment, ensure the transportation costs, send to the Shanghai market in the shortest possible time, quickly trade with German businessmen and then exchange for working capital, and then pay for the goods in distant provinces, repeat this kind of work, the funds will not bottom out, do you think it is so simple to be a manager?"

"I also admit that there is not much money prepared for the purchase of bristles and tung oil in the early stage, and I mainly placed an order worth millions of dollars for a company in the United States, and it takes three and a half months to go back and forth, and considering the delay of long-distance transportation, I should be mentally prepared for at least four months."

"You can let the business people first familiarize themselves with the local situation, find the most economical transportation road, book the source of tung oil and bristles, and wait for the ocean freighters to ship the United States to Shanghai, and they will sell the goods from the United States to return the funds, and then buy tung oil and bristles."

"Doing business is also a science, shopping malls are like battlefields, there are still a lot of things you have to learn, I can't make you too anxious, wait for me to return to Jinling, send you a loan of 10,000 US dollars, enough to cope with the personnel expenses and daily expenses during this time, and then tell me if it is not enough." Han Lin said.

The start-up capital of Guangyuan Trading Company was mainly from the last silver transaction, and he placed an order for Perez for one million dollars, and he still had 300,000 US dollars left in his hand, equivalent to almost more than 900,000 oceans, all of which were used to support the acquisition of tung oil and bristles.

It sounds like a lot of money, but it can't stand consumption, the price of a load of bristles is hundreds of oceans, doing business, more than 900,000 start-up capital is really not enough, and the company still has daily expenses!

The U.S. intelligence department gave him $10,000 in a single intelligence transaction because of the Japanese government's withdrawal from the "Washington Naval Treaty" and the "London Naval Treaty." Han Lin never spent it, and he had many channels to get the money, so he couldn't use the money at all.

Han Lin began to receive a monthly salary and activity funds from the US intelligence department very early, and this time he came to Shanghai, the monthly activity funds increased by $2,000, adding up to $3,300, and he belonged to the high-income group with a monthly income of more than 10,000 yuan during the Republic of China, and there was no problem in maintaining a luxurious life.

He got on the line with the German intelligence service and the Japanese intelligence service, and according to the rules of the game for intelligence work, both sides also had to give him money to spend, and the difference was only a matter of how much!

Intelligence transactions cannot be measured by the logic of ordinary thinking, and it is an insult to intelligence that he, an international intelligence provider, gives him little money.

Moreover, since the time of the Field Service Group to the present, the gains from a few Japanese espionage cases alone, the daily expenses and activity expenses of the office are more than enough. In the warehouse of the Han family's residence in Jinling, there is a large amount of wealth from Jin Minggui, and this is not counting the money that Kobayashi Hirosuke brought to the office!

Therefore, Han Lin temporarily borrowed his remuneration from Guangyuan Trading Company, and in the future, this money will also be deducted from the company's profits.

"You are really a model for all the agents of our Second Division, and you actually took the money from your family to eliminate difficulties for the work of the Second Division, and your subordinates sincerely feel admiration! You can rest assured that this 10,000 US dollars is almost equal to 30,000 oceans, which is enough to support the company's expenses for several months. Once the funds on the company's account flow smoothly, I will return the money to you immediately. Yue Yingfeng said seriously.
