Chapter 908 The Battle of Salt Industry IV
"Director, I'll go back to the office first. If you make a decision, please notify me." Director Xu saw the boss's hesitation, and knew that the matter was very complicated and hurriedly escaped.
"Is this inappropriate? Is it inappropriate to do this? I borrow 1,000 tons of salt from Chang'an Trade Bank every month and 1,000 tons of salt from Changlu Salt Field every month. You should know that salt in central China costs more than two yuan per catty, and one ton is four thousand yuan. This is not a small amount of money."
"I got the news that the funds of the direct-affiliated station and the intelligence department below were greatly reduced. It was not the time when he was rich and generous in the past, Chunfeng's financial situation was also very difficult. The headquarters not only did not understand, but instead kept asking for it, which would hurt his enthusiasm." Boss Dai said.
His tone was not very firm, because he had no choice now, and a penny stumped the hero. Even if he was the big boss of the Military Intelligence Bureau, he was defeated by this kind of thing.
The facts are right in front of you. If it is not difficult for direct affiliates or Chen Mingxiang, then the one who suffers is the headquarters of the bureau is himself. Do you still need to hesitate to make this choice?
"Chunfeng has so many relationships in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and has so many departments in his hands. If you keep it in two to three months, you will not lose it. The special coupon will be of good quality in at most two months. We are not going to give it to him. Even if we don't give it to him, he can't say anything else. As a strategic agent of the Military Affairs Bureau and the webmaster of the A-type station, he should bear pressure on the bureau headquarters." Pan Qiwu said.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Chen Mingxiang was able to become the webmaster of Type A Station. This was a special arrangement in a special period. In Pan Qiwu's mind, he was equivalent to gaining a qualification. Being a webmaster of Type A Station, this paved the way for the future, and sooner or later he could still achieve such a position.
If the situation of the Military Control Commission would be reshuffled after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Chen Mingxiang's qualifications would still be much worse. Pan Qiwu meant to deepen the impression of the students in Boss Dai and be able to arrange a fat and shortage.
The direct-affiliated station has now experienced a sharp drop in revenue, and its financial situation is definitely not as rich as before, but Pan Qiwu knew in his heart that even so, it would definitely not be as expensive as it was to reduce funds.
These are all illusions made by Chen Mingxiang. He bribed the bureau headquarters for one million US dollars during the Chinese New Year. He must not be so nervous.
It’s not that the teacher cares about the little property of the students, but that investing in Boss Dai at this time will bring the greatest rewards in the future.
"You can talk about this matter with Chunfeng. Just follow the three-month period, 5. You must urge the provincial stations that implement the special coupon plan to quickly purchase supplies and transport them back to the national unified area for money. Although Chunfeng does not have interest, he can borrow too much money and he can be startled when he accumulates it." Boss Dai said.
He had no intention of placing a debt. Once the special coupon plan worked, the secret printing factory of the Military Intelligence Bureau would turn wildly, and this amount of money was not worth mentioning at all.
With the order of the headquarters of the Shanghai Gendarmerie, Guangling and Jinling, Suxi, Chang, and Zhenjiang, the military police forces in various places launched a large-scale operation, seizing the assets of more than 20 salt merchants, and not only arrested the people in prison, but also confiscated the salt they had hoarded.
The military police issued an announcement stipulating that the price of coarse salt in cities in various places should be adjusted to one pound per kilogram, and the decimal price of coarse salt in rural areas should be adjusted to one pound per kilogram. Exceeding this price is subject to disrupting market order.
Where is the military police? It is hell on earth. The families of the salt merchants were immediately panicked and found Li Hongfei and criticized him!
This is your bad idea. If you can't solve this problem and rescue people as soon as possible, everyone will point their finger at you and don't think about stumble in this industry in the future!
"Minister, this must be the trick of Chen Mingxiang. He is using the power of the military police to clean up the industry. You can't sit idly by. If this continues, all shareholders of the Central China Salt Industry Company will be arrested and Yuhua Salt Industry Company will be paralyzed, which will have a great negative impact on our Jinling government!" Li Hongfei was anxious and ran to Zhou Jihai's office.
"Didn't you say that Chen Mingxiang's fleet is not transporting well and the supply of salt merchants in various places is insufficient? Why did the gendarmerie find more than 10,000 tons of salt from these people? I need your explanation! Don't tell me, you don't know anything!"
"Originally, Lianghuai Salt Field was transported to Japan for a large amount of raw salt, and the sales share in central China was relatively small. People were extremely nervous about using salt, and the prices were also rising again and again. But while you enjoyed the huge profits in salt sales, they hoarded salt to raise prices, deliberately created conflicts, caused social unrest, and also caused excuses for the Japanese army."
"Because of this, Huazhong Salt Industry Co., Ltd. conveyed information to the Ministry of Finance through the Consulate General in Shanghai and the Japanese Embassy. The negotiations have not yet ended, and such a problem arose. They are worried that if the right to sell salt is handed over, the salt market will fall into chaos due to the lack of constraints."
"Salt tax is the pillar of the government's fiscal revenue and an important channel to alleviate the pressure on revenue and expenditure. Chairman Wang attaches great importance to it. Now, taking advantage of the implementation of the new policy of the Japanese government and finally got to this point, you have dragged the government down. Can you bear this responsibility?"
"Director Chen Mingxiang's salt jurisdiction has a monthly quota of 10,000 tons. Now, the same amount of salt has been found, which means that the market has reduced sales for one month. People have not bought salt for a month. This nature is extremely bad!" Zhou Nihai said coldly.
Regardless of whether the salt confiscated by these salt merchants were the goods they had previously stored or the goods they had just stored recently, it was precisely because of their behavior that the prices of shortages in the market have soared, which has violated the ban of the Salt Services Department of the Jinling Government and the requirements of Huazhong Salt Industry Co., Ltd.
"Minister, I admit that this incident was a secret move, but the original intention of my shareholders and I was not to cause a salt shortage in central China, but to completely subdue the sales rights in these areas to the control of Central China Salt Company, which is conducive to the overall planning and unified operation and also to the smooth operation of government orders."
"You also know that salt merchants are an ancient industry in China. Qualifications and inheritance are very important. They cannot be entered with just a little money. Director Chen not only supports new salt merchants and old salt merchants in various places to compete for the market, but also smuggled large amounts of salt from Changlu Salt Field in North China to central China and implemented cross-regional sales. This is also a taboo in the industry."
"The reason why these shareholders of Central China Salt Industry Company do this is to clear out hidden dangers in the industry and avoid competing with each other in the future, causing great market chaos. However, I didn't expect that Director Chen's style of doing things was too ruthless and directly used the power of the Japanese military police to intervene in the market." Li Hongfei said.
