Chapter 907 The Battle of Salt Industry III
Changlu Salt Farm stolen every month, and it is about 10,000 tons per month. The monthly standard for Lianghuai Salt Farm is 10,000 tons, and the amount of salt of 20,000 tons is 20,000 tons. Even if one ton makes 1,000 yuan, it is still 20 million yuan in cash deposit coupons. Chen Mingxiang is really not short of money.
But apart from Wang Zhen, no one knows the delivery volume of Changlu Salt Field. With the costs of labor and ships, it is obviously 20 million yuan in cash deposit coupons. In the eyes of the outside world, it can only cost about 2 million yuan, and you have to give gifts to get a relationship. You will definitely lose less than one million yuan.
This million yuan deposit coupon has to deal with the expenses of the entire direct station and the daily relationships and relationships, which is difficult to apply.
"Secretary, we have received secret messages from the Intelligence Department 1 and Intelligence Department 2 of the Direct Station. The Headquarters of the Direct Station has issued an order requiring each Intelligence Department to reduce expenses before the end of the year and reduce the purchase of the puppet army."
"Chen Mingxiang, the owner of Huatong Trading Company, closed the second and third factories in three textile factories in Suzhou. A large number of workers returned to the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and the rest were concentrated in the first factory." Someone said.
This is a girl wearing a light blue cheongsam with a little light makeup. There are very few people working in the bureau headquarters. Men should wear Zhongshan clothes and women should wear light blue cheongsams. The boss has regulations that female staff are not allowed to wear heavy makeup.
Dai Li was indeed very suspicious. He secretly took advantage of the opportunity of sending personnel to the intelligence department of the direct station to spread his ears and ears into the intelligence department. When he encountered important news, the girl was responsible for the telegrams between the two sides.
"Call Director Xu from the Management Office and notify Director Mao and Secretary Pan." Dai Li said.
Hearing this news, he frowned. Chen Mingxiang's three textile factories produced a large amount of cotton yarn and cotton cloth for the Military Control Bureau, which were also the main scarce materials used to exchange materials. Unexpectedly, the situation was so bad that Chen Mingxiang closed two factories.
The boss summoned three important figures from the Military Control Bureau and hurried to the boss's office.
"Minister, what are your instructions?" Mao Renfeng said first.
"You all sit down. I just received the news that Huatong Trading Company closed Suzhou Textile Factory 2 and Suzhou Textile Factory 3. It is probably because of the shortage of cotton and there is no way to continue to start construction." Dai Li said.
The three people present took a breath. Even Chen Mingxiang could not withstand the pressure of insufficient cotton, and the situation seemed to be tense.
Without the cotton cloth and cotton yarn of Huatong Trading Company, the channels for the bureau to exchange materials and obtain funds were instantly lost by more than half. In the Guomao District, cotton gauze was like banknotes, and it was an absolute hard currency, comparable to rare metals such as gold.
"Minister, I received a report from Lianfeng Company that although Changan Trade Bank resumed salt transactions with Yanzhou, the quantity was greatly reduced. In March and April, there were only a thousand tons of salt. Salt merchants in Sichuan and Shaanxi Province were complaining and asking us to increase supply." Director Xu said.
"Your manager has deducted the payment for this thousand tons of salt again?" Dai Li asked.
"We have no choice but to do so. The conference has just ended. Many places have come to write off the fees. We are not able to make ends meet. We have no choice but to embezzle the money first."
"And from now on, the headquarters of the bureau will send goods worth 30 million to the Shanghai Stock Exchange every month. The funds at the purchase points in various places are extremely tight. I have submitted three reports. Please ask the bureau chief to apply for funds from the Military Control Commission as soon as possible. If you delay this, it will inevitably affect the monthly fund verification and allocation."
"I think that Huatong Trading Company has made a lot of money in recent years with the help of the Military Control Bureau. As long as the salt sales of Chang'an Trading Bank are maintained at 1,000 tons per month, it would be even better if it can double it. Our Military Control Bureau temporarily borrowed this amount and can maintain it." Director Xu was not embarrassed at all.
The responsibility of the manager office is ostensibly responsible for collecting money from the Military Control Department, allocating the money to various departments of the bureau headquarters and provincial stations below, and then verifying the use of funds.
But in fact, the management office is responsible for various smuggling transactions of the Military Intelligence Bureau, especially the smuggling transactions with Huatong Trading Company, but it has only started in March, and it has only been a situation where people only leave but not enter. Without money, the management office is also a clever man who cooks without rice.
"You don't know the inside story of sending 30 million goods every month, but I tell you that I applied for a huge amount of money from the commission without having to deal with the headquarters' own funds. Qiwu, has the implementation plan for the special coupon started to be implemented?" Dai Li asked.
According to Chen Mingxiang's plan, the bureau headquarters will have to spend at least 300 million yuan within five months as funds to crack down on Li Shiqun. The Military Bureau will definitely not be able to obtain this amount of money and can only leave the special approval funds of the commission.
Fortunately, Shangfeng is optimistic about this plan, which can at least exchange 30,000 tons of rice for the Shancheng government army, so I quickly approved it. Shangfeng's ability to work in Chunfeng is no less confident than Dai Li.
But this way, the Military Intelligence Bureau itself feels uncomfortable. There are so many people waiting for funds to eat and do their work, and it is absolutely impossible to have no money.
"It has already begun. The first batch starts from Zhejiang Province and Jiangsu Province, with a total of 20 million special coupons. The Zhejiang Provincial Station and Jiangsu Provincial Station of the Military Intelligence Bureau are responsible for implementation. If you want to achieve results, it will take a process." Mao Renfeng said.
This means that distant water cannot relieve near thirst. It is not impossible to use special coupons to alleviate the funding of the Military Intelligence Bureau, but it requires a process. This method cannot be effective at the beginning.
Things have returned to the starting point. The only input that the Military Affairs Bureau can support is the payment for the salt transaction, but the direct affiliated station itself is financially in a hurry. If the bureau headquarters deducts the payment for the goods, it would be a bit too much.
Dai Li also found it difficult to open his mouth and told Chen Mingxiang that in his heart, this student did the ultimate and his performance was impeccable. There were so many people in the Military Control Bureau, and when something happened, Chen Mingxiang was putting pressure on him. What about the rest? Just wait to enjoy Chen Mingxiang's hard work?
"The bureau chief, this matter must be solved by Huatong Trading Company. In addition to the salt from Chang'an Trading Bank, I heard that Chen Mingxiang is smuggling salt from Changlu Salt Field in Tianjin recently. In addition, the Su Provincial Station reported that the salt was unloaded from Zhenjiang Port and Hangzhou Ningbo Port in eastern Zhejiang."
"We negotiated with him and asked Chen Mingxiang to allocate 1,000 tons of salt to the Military Control Bureau every month, which is considered to be a temporary loan for him. When the funds for the special voucher plan are in place, we will give him back with capital and interest." Pan Qiwu said.
Since the boss encounters difficulties, the subordinates must stand up. It would rather make Chen Mingxiang uncomfortable than make the boss uncomfortable. This is also the responsibility of being a secretary.
