After Chen Mingxiang and Ding Mocun finished their meal at Zhou Nihai's house, they sat down for a few minutes before saying goodbye, while Li Hongfei stayed. Chen Mingxiang didn't care about this.

Even the Wang Puppet Government is a puppet supported by the Japanese. Just as he said, the Central China Salt Industry Company is also a puppet that followed the Japanese's instructions and poses no threat to itself. He has the ability to deal with Li Hongfei. If he is not honest, he will try the steamed buns of the military police!

Besides, Zhou Nihai made huge profits from Chen Mingxiang in one year, and even Chen Mingxiang was responsible for the expenses of the Shanghai lover. He would not overly favor Li Hongfei, and favoritism was useless.

"Minister, Chen Mingxiang extracts 8,000 tons of salt from Lianghuai Salt Field every month. According to our salt tax collection method, he can at least lose more than 8 million yuan himself, which is a lot of money!"

"I don't object to the reduction of part of the exemption. In the future, the company will ask him to come forward for many things, but we can't all of them, right? He has made enough money!" Li Hongfei complained.

According to the salt tax collection regulations formulated by the Salt Services Administration of the Ministry of Finance, a 38-90-cent Chinese deposit coupon is required for each 100 kilograms of salt. In addition, a 2-4-yuan deposit coupon is required for the market price, a 2-4-yuan bank coupon fee, a 3-yuan bank coupon fee of 3-yuan bank coupon fee is required for the 3-yuan deposit coupon fee, a total of 4-70-yuan bank coupon is equivalent to 26-100 yuan.

In other words, the salt merchant has to pay 65 yuan for every load of salt purchase, and wholesale of a pound of salt can now double the profit.

The cost of a ton of salt is 1,300 yuan in cash coupons, and 8,000 tons of salt is 1,040 million yuan in cash coupons, but Chen Mingxiang only paid ten yuan per pound, and a ton of 200 yuan, which is only 1.6 million yuan in cash coupons. This huge loss made Li Hongfei feel so distressed.

He became the chairman of China Central Salt Industry Company to impose salt taxes on the Ministry of Finance of the Jinling Government. If he could not achieve any results, it would seem too useless and his personal abilities would be questioned.

From this we can also know how much profit Chen Mingxiang has made in the salt industry. Now Haiyuan Salt Company is performing functions on behalf of Huazhong Salt Company. If you don’t pay a penny, it means you make more than 10 million yuan a month!

"Your way of calculating accounts is wrong. Chen Mingxiang's Haiyuan Salt Company is not his own. It involves all forces, including the Consulate General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Shanghai, the military police, the Mei agency, and the local Japanese garrison. In addition, the municipal government also scored a point. Why do you think he can be in the Shanghai Stock Exchange?"

"As far as I know, he has a maximum dividend of 30% of the monthly salt sales, which has reached its peak. The rest must be taken out as dividends. The salt industry is huge profits because people have to eat salt. Don't worry that no one will buy it. The more such an industry is, the more people will be concerned about it."

"Don't continue to worry about this issue. You have something right. Can you start negotiations as soon as possible? Chen Mingxiang's help is very important. Take advantage of this rescue of the salt merchants and give him a generous gift. You offended him very much. This guy has always been known for being cautious. The sooner the conflict is resolved, the better." Zhou Nihai said.

After Li Hongfei came out of the Zhou family's door, he couldn't help but look back, then spit out phlegm on the ground to vent his dissatisfaction.

During the period from the time when the military police arrested the salt merchants, he has sent money and things here a lot, and the value is millions. However, when it really comes to the critical moment when he needs him, Zhou Nihai refused to work hard and pushed the matter to himself in an understatement.

The salt merchants are indeed rich, but it is not caused by the strong wind. Each salt merchant loses two or three million yuan for more than 10,000 tons of salt alone. In addition, this incident is inevitable.

Li Hongfei was very helpless. He agreed to cooperate with Japanese businessmen of North China Salt Industry Co., Ltd. to deal with Chen Mingxiang together, which was indeed for the interests of the old salt merchants, and planned to use this to kick off the power of Haiyuan Salt Industry Co., Ltd. and strengthen the monopoly and control of the salt industry in central China.

But unexpectedly, those Japanese merchants actually had diarrhea. Until now, there has been no movement in North China. Chen Mingxiang's freighter still transported the second batch of salt to various places on time. This means that Japanese merchants in North China soaked him, and the soaking was so cool!

"Mingxiang, you are back. Boss Dai almost sent a telegram a day to ask about the movements of the Japanese army, and directly asked you to find the first round of attack targets of the 11th Army."

"Secretary Pan also sent me two reports, saying that the Sixth War Zone Command was also forced by the Japanese army's movements. He made an exception to generate electricity to the bureau headquarters twice, and even alarmed the commissioner, asking the Military Affairs Bureau to get this information at any cost." Wang Zhen said with a smile.

The military situation was so hot that he would give the Sixth War Zone Command one day earlier to deploy. Chen Mingxiang could not stay in Jinling for too long. The key was that he had not set up his own radio station here, so he returned to the Shanghai Stock Exchange the next day.

It seems that Yokoyama, commander of the 11th Army, used his deception tactics very cleverly, and even the Sixth War Zone Command was stunned. I still don’t know how to deal with it.

"You should generate electricity to the headquarters. According to the information I have received, the combat plan of the 11th Army Command of the Japanese Army is to first attack and attack Anxiang and Nan County in the first round of attacks, and to open a passage for the future attack on Wuling. Then, the 10th Army in Songzi and Public Security, and the Jiang Defense Army launched an encirclement and suppression war, with the main purpose of annihilation of the troops in the Sixth War Zone."

"Given that the 11th Army Command has too high a level of confidentiality for the plan and it is really impossible to find out the detailed contents, the specific combat time is roughly in early May. If there is any new news, we will report to the bureau headquarters."

"In addition, I have had a tentative contact with Ding Mo Village. The other party hopes to abandon the darkness and turn to the light and serve the Military Bureau. The headquarters of the bureau can send someone to contact him secretly to strengthen the intelligence power in the Wang Puppet Government." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

It seems that Boss Dai’s life is not easy. Although the Military Intelligence Bureau is now proud, it has cooperated with the US Navy and established a special technical cooperation institute, which seems to be very popular.

But from the continuous inquiry of information, we can know that Boss Dai still cares about his relationship with Chen Cheng and wants to use this method to bring further distance between each other, reduce the hostile forces in the Shancheng government, and safeguard his vested interests. In the past, there were rarely such a hurry.

But Chen Mingxiang believes that the problem is not how much confidential information has been obtained, but the nature of the Military Intelligence Bureau itself, with the power to enforce the law and possess an astonishing number of troops, which are destined to not be accepted by major forces.

Military tycoons prefer to see that the Military Control Commission is a pure intelligence agency rather than a spy department that supervises all parties. This contradiction will not erupt during the War of Resistance Against Japan, but after victory, this situation will immediately disappear.
