"Kun Ono, you are my best friend in the Japanese Navy. I have helped me a lot in recent years. Since this matter is related to your future, I will do my best to help you. I will give you 4,000 pieces of cotton cloth and I can hand it over to you tonight." Chen Mingxiang said.

"It's so great. I'll notify the finance department to send you the payment. I will take someone to the warehouse to receive it in the evening. Chen Jun, thank you for your help!" Ono Nakasa stood up excitedly.

The cotton cloth and yarn market in the Shanghai market has always been controlled by the Army, and he also knew that Chen Mingxiang did not have much inventory, and even the textile factory in Suzhou was half dead. It was quite difficult to get so many goods at a time.

"Ono-kun, my guard wants to strengthen its firepower. I heard that the Marine Corps has a 100-type submachine gun developed by the Empire. Can you get me a few? I also have to add some measures to my own safety. I have no place to do guns, so I have to ask you for help." Chen Mingxiang asked.

The Hundred-Type Submachine Gun was produced by Japan in the 39th year of the Republic of China. It looks similar to the German P-18 submachine gun, using eight-mm bullets, and is common to the Southern Fourteen Pistol.

The magazine has a capacity of thirty and fifty rounds, equipped with bayonets and bipods. Its current length is 102.5 cm, and its effective range is 120 meters. The output is not very large.

This kind of submachine gun is basically being tested by the Army. The troops participating in the test are also equipped with a small number of Marines on the South Pacific battlefield, which are not standard weapons.

"The Hundred-Type Submachine Guns do not have large-scale equipment for the Marines in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Fortunately, your guards are not large. I can think of a way to give you a few. When capturing the concession, the Marines confiscated a batch of weapons, but there were nothing good. There were a lot of Browning pistols and revolvers. Our Marines didn't need these weapons, so we chose a batch of better ones for you." Nakasa Ono thought for a while and said.

He didn't tell any lies. There were indeed not many submachine guns, only a few hundred. Faced with a large number of Marines, they could not meet the standard configuration, and even left in the warehouse without anyone to use it.

According to the Japanese thinking, why do you need to use a few bullets to complete the problem that can be solved by a bullet? It is a pure waste of resources. Therefore, the positioning of the Hundred-Type Submachine Gun is a small light machine gun.

This transaction did not pay the goods through Eryu's agency, so there was no need to pay dividends to Eryu and Shifu. So Chen Mingxiang gave Ono Nakasa 450 US dollars per piece of cloth as a thank you, but the other party only charged two hundred US dollars each.

There are different needs at each stage. Ono Nakasa is most concerned about his military rank at this time. Money is secondary. No soldier does not want to be a general, so he is the same. If Nakasa and the general are too far, the colonel has hope.

Wang Jingwei, who attended the Six-Nation Conference, returned to Jinling on the evening of the 7th and then held an emergency meeting on the morning of the 8th. In response to the current situation in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, a so-called "Cotton Cloth and Cotton Yarn Investigation Measures" was formulated, stipulating that all cotton cloth sold without permission shall not be broken into pieces and sold privately. Violators will confiscate the goods and will be punished.

"Director Chen, the market in the Shanghai Stock Exchange is clean, but there are many cotton black markets in many places. A large number of cotton merchants have turned their targets to the underground. Some registered goods have also inconsistent quantities. I hope the police station can crack down on such matters and cannot continue to let them go." Nie Lusheng came to the police station again.

After receiving the official documents from the Jinling government, Chen Mingxiang ordered the police station to dispatch all the stalls in the cloth shops to evacuate them, so that the market clearly could not see the goods.

But cotton merchants could not sit idly by and watch themselves suffer losses, so they joined forces to build a cotton black market and continued to sell cotton cloth to the outside world. The offices for buying cotton gauze had to come to Chen Mingxiang to discuss that Huatong Trading Company was a public acquisition.

"Director Nie, the police station is not a servant of your Shanggong Association. If you call me, you will go away. We only do things according to the government's official documents. Anyway, the task has not been completed, so you don't have to worry anymore. Be careful to anger your colleagues and cause trouble for yourself."

"As far as I know, your business committee will buy cotton gauze offices and have searched for a large amount of cotton cotton yarn. The main yarn mills, textile factories, cotton shops, and warehouses in Shanghai have been cleared by you. There are only a few unregistered goods, and it will be boring to dig three feet into the ground." Chen Mingxiang looked indifferent.

"Director Chen, of course we are unwilling to pursue the so-called forced acquisition method, everyone knows the depth of the water, but this phenomenon was published in the Japanese newspapers. The Industrial Department of the Jinling Government today asked the Commercial Bureau to severely crack down on the cotton cloth black market, and we have no choice!"

"They actually don't object to the cloth sales association. They are all in the same industry. But since the Japanese want to investigate, they have to deal with it. Everyone means that they can at least get a job." Nie Lusheng said with a wry smile.

Chen Mingxiang immediately understood that these people from the Commercial Commission also felt the pressure and were unwilling to break up with their peers. This time, the cotton black market was checked, and he was also dealing with errands and acting. Even the governing institutions had the same attitude. It is conceivable how much the Wang puppet government has.

"It's not impossible. As long as the Commercial Commission provides funds, the police station will be able to speak. In this way, you first print a batch of publicity materials. I want the police stations in various regions to post it and carry out a crackdown activity. The daily subsidy is not absent. You have to give money to eat a meal and buy a box of cigarettes, right?" Chen Mingxiang said.

"We can give the funds to the police station, but the city's more than 16,000 police officers can't afford to pay according to their heads. In this way, we can print the publicity materials and notices. There are fourteen branches in the old public concession and five branches in the old French concession. A one-time allocation of 1.9 million yuan in deposit coupons will be carried out for ten days. Isn't this outrageous?" Nie Lusheng said.

In theory, such a subsidy is a bit outrageous and has not followed the certificate procedures. The police station has an obligation to assist the work of the commerce unification committee. It should be to apply to the municipal government and the municipal government will ask the police station to perform tasks. This is the normal process.

Doing this now means that the Commercial Bureau will give each branch a 10,000 yuan deposit coupon per day, and summarizing the funds for 190,000 yuan deposit coupon per day.

Of course, although the number sounds amazing, the total number of these dozen police branches is nearly 8,000. Just a subsidy of ten yuan per person per day will cost 80,000 yuan, which is really not very high.
