Chapter 542: Business Adjustments
On February 26, the 26th year of the Republic of China, Huishan Wharf in Shanghai.
Today is the sixteenth day of the first month of the lunar calendar, Han Lin said goodbye to the two families one by one at the pier, and then watched the boat slowly leave the dock. Both of them are not bad for money, this time they chartered a boat, except that the crew are all family, and this way is also safer and more comfortable.
Lu Manyin, who was reluctant to be parents, made a decision during the Chinese New Year to send her family to Hong Kong City, and then return to Shanghai, although the journey was quite tiring, considering her mood, of course Han Lin could only agree.
He sent four agents, two men and two women, and also went to the port city to protect her, including Wu Kuiyuan and Tang Minsheng, masters of action.
Phukkaisen Road Korean House.
There are already commandos who have formed a guard group and have been on duty at home for a long time, but when Han Lin returned home, his heart was still empty, and Lu Manyin went back and forth to Hong Kong City, which would take almost thirty-four or five days.
Of course, the mood is only temporary, Han Lin called Yue Yingfeng, who didn't leave since he came back from the New Year, to his home, the construction project in the mountain city is almost in the final stage, and Gao Ruian can completely deal with it.
Not long after, Yue Yingfeng drove to the Han house.
"Sit down, pour your own tea, there is smoke and fire on the coffee table." Han Lin said.
"The director specially called me to my home, there must be some important task to order, you say, I'll do it myself." Yue Yingfeng said with a smile.
"Starting from next month, the location where we hoard strategic materials such as pig bristles and tung oil will not be in Shanghai, you will go on a business trip to Chuncheng, the capital of Yunnan Province, to buy and build a warehouse, set up a branch, and the follow-up materials will all be stored in Chuncheng, and when the time is right, they will be exported from Myanmar to overseas." Han Lin said.
Guangyuan Trading Company mainly did the hoarding of bristles and tung oil in the early stage, selling and buying at the same time, with the import trade of the United States and Germany is getting bigger and bigger, and now the amount of hoarding has reached an astonishing point, leasing a number of warehouses and freight yards for storage, just waiting for this thing to appreciate.
With the advent of the war, the transportation line in Shanghai is about to be cut off, and Han Lin is temporarily unable to recover, and needs to wait until Kage Satsuaki arrives in Shanghai, so he must adjust the company's reserve location.
"Director, the traffic environment there is very complicated, there is no main road, and it is very difficult to transport, there must be something to say about this plan, right?" Yue Yingfeng asked in surprise.
"The war is about to break out, I am not optimistic about the outcome of this large-scale war, in the future, except for the concession area, all of Shanghai will be blockaded by the Japanese army, and it is very difficult for goods to enter and exit.
"If you want to continue trading, you have to go to the sea from Yunnan Province to the port of Yangon in Myanmar, and you don't have to worry about road traffic, because the Jinling government had to build this road after the outbreak of the war and the sea transportation line was cut off. I've been told that the government is already planning this. Han Lin said.
According to the historical process, the construction of the Yunnan-Burma Highway is planned to start until the end of next year, but since he knows about it, he can take advantage of this opportunity to prepare for transportation in advance, which is also the advantage of the traverser.
"If we take this transportation route, these strategic materials can be easily seized, and we have no power in Spring City, and it is not easy to solve problems if they go wrong." Yue Yingfeng said.
The military cooperation between the Jinling government and Germany, the other party's roll call requires pig bristles and tung oil, as well as tungsten ore, which shows that these strategic materials will continue to appreciate with the outbreak of war. The trade between Han Lin and German merchants, the purchase price given by the other party is also rising, Germany is engaged in armaments, and the demand for pig bristles and tung oil is very large.
The special agencies of the Jinling government buy from the hands of the common people, and the prices are very low, while the procurement personnel of the Guangyuan Trading Company give very high prices, and in the absence of the implementation of material control, the Guangyuan Trading Company has obtained a large number of goods, which is bound to attract the attention of the special agencies of the Jinling government.
If the other party forcibly buys the goods of Guangyuan Trading Company at a low price, Han Lin will lose a lot, which also means that the office will lose a lot, this is the future fund of the office, and the guarantee of the lives of all the brothers, it is normal for him to worry.
"Don't worry, I will let Perez come forward to negotiate, just say that these goods are the goods of American businessmen, no one dares to check, the value of the United States to the Jinling government in the future, will rise to the point of heavy dependence, such as Yunnan-Guizhou region and Sichuan Province, which are relatively safe provinces, the southwest, will be the last reliance of the War of Resistance against Japan, and it is also our rear."
"After the outbreak of the war, I plan to reduce the company's import and export trade, and in the next two years, I can only rely on the demand and smuggling in the concession area, and it is not too late to do it when I open up the joints. There is one more thing, when you come back, set up a branch in Chang'an, make up for the smuggling route to the Sichuan Province, Shanghai first to the head of Anhui Province, from Henan Province through to Chang'an, this is a very important smuggling line in the future. ”
"It sounds cruel to say that it is smuggling in my own land, but the reality is so, I also have to think about the brothers in the future office, not only the problem of financial subsidies, but the families of more than 1,000 people are waiting for dinner in the mountain city! War will definitely cause inflation, and as prices skyrocket, we will spend more and more every month, and who knows how many years the war will last? Han Lin said.
Of course, Yue Yingfeng didn't know that the smuggling line he secretly set up, in addition to transporting it to Sichuan Province, also had a very important purpose, even the main purpose, which was to secretly transport materials to Yanzhou.
Commissary point of contact.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Guo Zhenghong sat at the small low table at the door, seemingly receiving guests.
Standing outside the door and smoking, the person who was actually observing the surrounding environment was Shen Qingfeng, the person in charge of the underground party organization in Shanghai, and the person sitting opposite Guo Zhenghong in the room looked less than forty years old, wearing a Mao suit, looking very elegant, like an intellectual.
"Chief, this is the whole situation of Comrade Huang Yu's contact with us many times, starting from Hangzhou to Jinling, and finally to Shanghai, since the establishment of this contact point, his contact has been basically fixed, but so far, we still can't investigate his specific identity, so we report to the higher organization, hoping to verify his situation." Guo Zhenghong said.
This is a head from the Yanzhou base area, who is in charge of intelligence work, and has just arrived in Shanghai to make preliminary preparations for cooperation between the underground party and the Jinling government. He heard that the comrades who had been evacuated from Shanghai had made a special report on Comrade Huang Yu's affairs, and he specially came to the contact point to listen to Guo Zhenghong's report.
Considering the necessity of contacting Comrade Huang Yu, Guo Zhenghong could not leave the contact point.
