"Since you have obtained the license from Huazhong Salt Industry Co., Ltd. and have the right to sell salt in the central China region, why should you wait until January to operate?"

"Although the bilateral agreement is accepted in January, it will take until April when all the matters are completed and the work will be officially started!"

"Brother, I don't think it's all about money. The current situation is that ordinary people can't buy salt with money. This will have a serious impact on the image of the Jinling government. Salt is a necessity for daily life." Zhou Nihai said with a smile.

He was still illusioned about Japan and was trying hard to maintain the rule of the Wang puppet government because most people have not seen any signs that Japan will eventually fail.

In addition to roles like Chen Mingxiang, it is rare for insiders in the Wang Puppet Government to see the war situation in the South Pacific. Japan must strictly block such a situation.

"Minister, I am also worried that it will make the Japanese unhappy when they start too early. I feel that I am a little too anxious and have not maintained the face of the Japanese Empire. After all, I have not completed the procedures to hand over the assets. I can't wait for this time?" Chen Mingxiang said.

"What handover is just a nice name. Don't you know how Japanese do things? Huazhong Salt Industry Co., Ltd. just gave us an empty stand, but asked us to pay a huge purchase amount and also had to bear the pension of Japanese personnel. The company has nothing but some real estate!"

"If someone else wants to consider it, what are you worried about if you come forward? For the sake of your brother and sister, the entire public concession has been turned upside down. The military police and the Marine Corps are launching a large-scale operation, police and agents are responsible for assisting, and martial law is being implemented throughout the region. Who has the ability and trust you have?"

"Besides, brother, you have always been kind to others in the Shanghai Stock Exchange and actively participated in charitable activities organized by the municipal government. You have a very good reputation. Yuchang Coal Company lowered the coal price, giving citizens personal benefits, allowing you to a higher level, and then doing the salt business well will be extremely merit." Zhou Nihai didn't think this was a matter.

Chen Mingxiang's wife Wang Zhen was kidnapped. This is the big news in the Shanghai Stock Exchange of the year, second only to the Japanese army's capture of the public concession. The sensational scene is still talked about by people. After this incident, Chen Mingxiang's image of not being provoked has been firmly established.

The Shanghai Stock Exchange has a relatively good view of Chen Mingxiang. This person's words and deeds are not arrogant and domineering. He really has nothing to do with him.

In people's impression, Chen Mingxiang is definitely not a traitor who everyone can punish him. He cannot meet his status and qualifications. He can barely be considered an economic traitor because he is engaged in business with the Japanese and works in the Wang Puppet Government.

But this is the case with the general environment. There are more than 100,000 government employees of the Wang Puppet Government. There are countless such people, and more people are doing business with the Japanese army in the occupied areas.

All walks of life are currently under the control of the Japanese, and everyone has to make money and survive. There is no way to do so. Therefore, the criteria for judgment depends on actual actions.

Chen Mingxiang is low-key in his work and has an undestroyed kindness. In his textile factories, tobacco factories, silk weaving factories, silk reel factories and other industries, more than 30,000 people follow him to make a living. Not to mention anything else, his textile factories support more than 10,000 families and tens of thousands of people, most of which are from the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

Chen Mingxiang gave workers high wages and benefits, which is also famous. The police basically avoided his property, and the military police also had to give face. During the war, so that so many people could support their families. What is this not kindness?

In Zhou Nihai, Chen Mingxiang also has a good reputation for face and good reputation. He has been improving his status in the past two years. In addition to using his relationships and industries to win over the hearts of the people, he has also donated money, coffins and food to the victims many times. He believes that this is a very clever method and has a bit of long-term speculation.

To put it simply, even if Japan collapses and the Jinling government is over, Chen Mingxiang will not be punished too severely based on what the Shanghai Stock Exchange does. He and the Military Intelligence Bureau are of cooperation. In other words, he is now on three boats.

It is admirable that people of the same age can achieve this kind of plan and vision when they are young and in their early thirties. Look at how many people of the same age can do this?

"Since the minister said that, I will start to operate when I come back from outside the customs and send ships to Lianghuai Salt Field as soon as possible to transport salt. The salt price in the Shanghai Stock Exchange is one piece of coarse salt per piece, but in other places, we calculate it according to the six cents per kilogram. The oil and water in the Shanghai Stock Exchange have been squeezed dry by the Japanese, and it is not included."

"I have to deduct one cent of transportation costs per kilogram of coarse salt. The Japanese side has two cents, which is half of it. The remaining 30 cents will be lost. I, the Ministry of Finance and the local government will each share one cent. Each month is two million yuan. I estimate that by the end of the year, I will definitely double it. One yuan and two cents are less, so that each company can get four million!" Chen Mingxiang said.

This conversation will inevitably determine the layout of the Wang puppet government after receiving many powers, especially the reshuffle of interests. Chen Mingxiang first showed off his killer weapon, which is the most critical.

It is easy to understand that the Ministry of Finance’s one cent refers to Zhou Nihai, and the local one cent refers to Li Shiqun and the salt merchant.

One pound is one cent, one pound is ten yuan, one ton of two hundred yuan, and ten thousand tons is of course two million, but there is also moisture in it.

The coarse salt in Shanghai was 1.6 yuan, and the cities in Suzhou, Xi, Chang and Zhenjiang were about to reach one yuan. Chen Mingxiang had to leave the remaining 40 cents by himself.

He operates everything, and others just take ready-made ones, and no one can say anything else. If Chen Mingxiang doesn't make money, they won't be able to make anything. If they change to operate, the Japanese will definitely not agree.

Although he is not afraid of being overwhelmed, he cannot do anything at all. He can continue to succeed today because he never eats alone. There are many forces involved in dividend distribution, so there is an indestructible barrier.

"I think your allocation ratio is reasonable. As for salt tax, the Ministry of Finance plans to collect 35 yuan per levy, which is also considering the rise in salt prices. In this way, before April next year, we will not talk about the salt tax. We will discuss the specific situation after Huazhong Salt Industry Co., Ltd. is taken over."

"I remember you have a tobacco factory in Qiaocheng, Anhui Province. In the middle of next month, the 14th and 15th, the 17th Division and our 15th and 36th Divisions will carry out a major mobilization of the underground party bases in the Lianghuai and Huaihai areas."

"Your transportation team should be careful not to be accidentally injured by military operations. During the war, those people can do anything." Zhou Nihai thought for a while and said.
