"Governor Guo, I have drawn up a new plan. Just competing with the Japanese on prices will turn into a money-burning game. Although we are not afraid of Japan, it is not necessary. We have to give full play to our advantages. Here In this plan, we will add purchase points, set up a special transport fleet, go to the farmers' fields, and take the soybeans away directly. The farmers don't have to go all the way to the county seat, but sit on the kang to collect the money. We will buy them uniformly. Unified transportation and reasonable storage can save a lot of costs, and ordinary people can get more benefits!"

Guo Zongxi glanced at the plan, nodded with a smile and said: "This method is good. We already have farms and the government at the bottom. Let them coordinate, and our acquisition work will be much easier. This is a good way to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses. !"

Guo Zongxi immediately went to make arrangements, and Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Miss Qiao is really talented. I want to hire her as a special economic advisor. I wonder if she is willing?"

As soon as Zhang Tinglan said this, Qiao Lanyun's face turned red slightly. She is not an idiot. At first, Zhou Xinyao was hired by Zhang Tinglan as a health consultant, and then became his wife. Now that she has become an economic consultant, what will happen next? How to let it go, she didn't know what to do!

Qiao Lanyun's face was full of shyness, she was silent for a while, and nodded slightly, she agreed to the proposal, and her heart was already full of turmoil.

The Fengtian government quickly adjusted its acquisition strategy, and the comprador businessmen who had finally improved were facing a huge challenge, and Liu Wenxin was completely passive.

"Master, why don't we also hire people, rent a fleet, and go to the countryside to buy soybeans, so we can't just sit idly by?"

"It's easy to say, but all of these need money. Where can I get so much money!"

"Master, now we can only use our own funds besides continuing to ask Mr. Jiao Wu for help. Master, take out all your savings. We must survive this hurdle." )

Chapter 389 Agricultural Products Trading Center

Liu Wenxin thought about it carefully, but he could only grit his teeth and nod: "I bet all my wealth and life on the Japanese. I don't believe that the little Fengtian government can win against the Japanese. As long as the Japanese can win, we will win." I won't lose!"

After making up his mind, Liu Wenxin hastily took out all his deposits. Over the years, he has worked for the Japanese, plus his own property, and has accumulated 3 to [-] yuan. Now he has taken it out without hesitation. , rented manpower, formed a convoy, and went to the countryside to grab soybeans.

But things are far from as simple as he imagined. The Fengtian government dared to play this way because Zhang Tinglan had accumulated huge resources in the past two years. First of all, he had a huge horse convoy. As a result of development, the commercial development of the three eastern provinces is getting faster and faster, and there is also a huge trade with Russia. Coupled with the existence of the North Market, it absorbs materials from all over the world, so there is a huge demand for transportation. Fengtian has several A large car dealership.

Some are under the name of Fengtian Welfare Company, which mainly serve the army, and some are under the name of the industrial group. In addition, there are professional transportation teams controlled by several major department stores in the North Market. These transportation teams almost all listen to Zhang Tinglan As long as there is an order, no matter how tight the capacity is, you can concentrate enough power.

Moreover, these transport convoys have their own special management and operation system, which is very efficient. In addition, setting up a large number of acquisition points requires a large number of accounting experts and the cooperation of the local government. These are the unique advantages of the Fengjun, comprador businessmen Although they have a large number and relatively strong financial resources, they have limited resources after all, and they cannot compete with the Fengtian government at all.

In addition, these comprador merchants are not monolithic, they are all cunning people.Looking at the contest between the Fengtian government and the Japanese this time, it can be described as a fight between gods and mortals.Some shrewd ones don’t work hard, and their main task is to cry to Nissin and Santai for more financial help from the Japanese.

Of course, there are also loyal ones, such as Liu Wenxin, who took out all his family property and spent three times the usual price to form a transport team and bring a special accountant.He ran to the countryside and bought soybeans door to door.

His hard work was not in vain, and he finally purchased more than 300 million catties of soybeans, which was more than half less than in previous years.But it was considered a good result, but at this time all the cash in Liu Wenxin's hands was thrown out.And also owed a lot of foreign debt.

The harvested soybeans should also be stored in warehouses.It costs money every day, so Liu Wenxin found Jiao Wuye impatiently.

"Fifth Lord, I have collected more than 300 million catties of soybeans. You can see if you should pay the money and send it to the Japanese as soon as possible. Aren't they waiting to use it?"

Jiao Wu looked at him.With a wry smile, he said, "Old Liu, you are really capable, but I want to remind you that the Japanese don't have enough cash now. So you can either keep these soybeans for yourself, or you can only accept bond mortgages."

Hearing this, Liu Wenxin was immediately dumbfounded. He has worked so hard these days, running around in the countryside, how many pairs of shoes have been worn out, and there is still a big gash at the corner of his mouth. Cash settlement, isn't this playing silly boy!

In the past, this guy didn't feel uncomfortable when he sent white notes to farmers. On the contrary, he was extremely proud, but now, when the Japanese wanted to send him white notes, Liu Wenxin was dumbfounded.

"Fifth Master, don't make such a joke. The villain puts his wealth and life on it. How can the Japanese do this? Are they unreasonable?"

"Old Liu, you are also an elm head. If the Japanese are reasonable, they should fish on the four islands. How could they go to the three eastern provinces to call the wind and rain? To be honest with you, it's not just you, we are all treated like this , I asked the Japanese for funds, and they gave me a lot of bonds, saying that the income from these things will be very high in the future, which is more cost-effective than giving us cash.”

Jiao Wu took out some bonds, put them in front of Liu Wenxin, pointed to these things and said, "Even if the bonds can really be used as money, but the common people don't recognize this thing, they still force us to take money out of our pockets. In exchange for these bonds, I finally turned all my savings into a pile of paper, and I don't know what to do, my heart has been on fire for the past two days!"

Liu Wenxin thought about it carefully, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Fifth Lord, I believe the Japanese are reputable and will not cheat us for a small amount of money. Tell me, what is going on with these bonds?"

"The Nissin Oil Factory and Santai Oil Factory entrusted the Bank of Korea to help issue it. It is said that although the Japanese do not have cash, they also have a batch of bonds. They use the bonds as collateral, and then the Bank of Korea helps issue new bonds. It is said that the income of this thing is very high, and it is more cost-effective than storing in a bank, as for the specifics, I am not sure."

Liu Wenxin's golden eyes kept turning, and he secretly made up his mind: "Fifth Master, I believe in the Japanese. Maybe these bonds are a good opportunity to make a fortune. I want it!"

"Humble words, this is a telegram sent by Governor Wang Yongjiang. The Nissin Oil Factory and Santai Oil Factory used Russian government bonds as collateral to ask the Bank of Korea to help issue a set of soybean bonds. It is said that many of these bonds have fallen. It was in the hands of those comprador merchants." Qiao Lanyun smiled and introduced the situation to Zhang Tinglan. After Zhang Tinglan heard the news, she was overjoyed. He hurriedly took the telegram and read it carefully.

Although the Nissin Oil Factory and Santai Oil Factory are hens that lay golden eggs, they don't have too much liquidity in hand, especially during World War I. The rapid development of Japanese industry required a lot of investment. Oil companies have invested a lot of money in the country.

Just at the beginning of the year, the February Revolution broke out in Russia. The ruble and Russian bonds all plummeted, and many people were selling them. However, at this time, the Japanese, who always like to play tricks, discovered that this was a business opportunity.

Russia is so huge, and the Japanese once defeated Russia, but Russia has slowed down. Now Russian bonds have plummeted, but as long as Russia stabilizes, they will definitely rise. If you buy the bottom at this time, you may make a lot of money. .

And at this time, they also got a piece of information, that is, a report on mineral resources in the Far East, which contained a large amount of gold, iron ore, copper, and even oil.For the resource-hungry Japanese, seeing these things simply makes them lose their minds.

At this time, the Russian government also launched a bond, which used some of Russia's mineral resources as collateral. The Japanese decided to buy a large amount after thinking about it.

This decision of the Japanese also has its own calculations. If Russia can win the First World War, there is no doubt that these bonds will become hot treasures.Even if Russia failed, the Germans would not be able to reach the Far East. Instead, the Japanese could take advantage of these precious resources.As for the possible change of the government, the Japanese don’t care, just like China has changed from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, and the debt relationship still has to be borne. bond.

Moreover, as Kerensky came to power, the Russian provisional government began to show signs of stability, and launched an attack on Germany. At this time, Russian bonds skyrocketed again and were widely sought after. Not only Japanese investors, but also Even a group of European and American investors began to value these bonds. This incident made the Japanese very proud and thought they had taken advantage of it.

Nissin Oil Factory and Santai Oil Factory, as big financiers, also bought tens of millions of bonds. Now that they don’t have enough cash, they can only take out these precious Russian bonds and hand them over to North Korea as collateral. Banks are also Japanese colonial institutions, and they also need to cooperate with each other. The Bank of Korea helped them issue a batch of soybean bonds to collect money and compete with the Fengtian government for financial resources.

However, the so-called soybean bonds did not sell well, and the Japanese could only forcibly allocate the bonds to those comprador merchants.After Zhang Tinglan saw Wang Yongjiang's telegram, he connected the events before and after, and he immediately figured out what was going on.

At this time, Zhang Tinglan was almost overjoyed. The Russian bond itself was a trap set up by Zhang Tinglan and Fred to attract the Japanese and Daosheng Bank. Zhang Tinglan knew very well that Russia would turn red. , and the majority party regime will never assume the debts of Tsarist Russia. On the contrary, they will take it for themselves without hesitation, and the wishful thinking of the Japanese will definitely come to nothing.

In fact, in the original history, after the February Revolution, Russian rubles and bonds were sought after, and many Chinese businessmen bought them. Their thinking was also very simple, even if Tsarist Russia is so huge, it will not collapse if it loses a little.The consequences can be imagined. After the majority party came to power, many investors went bankrupt.

However, in this time and space, Feng Jun took back the Middle East Road, which made many Chinese see clearly the nature of Russia's weakness, so not many people took action, but it was because of Zhang Tinglan's report on Far East resources and Fred's release. All kinds of false news caused the Japanese to eat a lot of bonds without hesitation.

As a result, these bonds have now linked the Nissin Oil Plant and the Bank of Korea. Zhang Tinglan even has the urge to laugh up to the sky. Soon the October Revolution in Russia will break out, and the bonds will become a bond at that time. With the pile of waste paper, the Japanese oil extraction industry and financial industry will be devastated.

Originally, Zhang Tinglan and the Japanese rushed to buy soybeans just to get back some profits, and had no intention of killing them all. But the situation is completely different now, and Zhang Tinglan already has an idea of ​​killing them all.

"Miss Qiao, let's go to Fengtian as soon as possible. According to the plan, we will set up an agricultural product trading center. I want to wrestle with the Japanese!"

3 Chapter ninety

The purchase of soybeans is still going on, but the situation is very unfavorable to the Japanese. They can't come up with enough cash, so they can only use bonds to make up the money. After all, there are not many filial guys like Liu Wenxin, and other big and small compradors are weighing gains and losses.

The Fengtian government's organization is more rigorous, and the arrangement of manpower capacity is more appropriate, so the cost can be controlled to a very low range.Comprador merchants are different. They have to bear huge shipping costs, hire specialized personnel, and raise prices high enough to be attractive.

These guys calculated that each load of soybeans costs about three and five yuan just to receive them, plus transportation and storage, and finally delivered to the Japanese, at least four yuan or more, which is already higher than The purchase price of the Japanese in previous years has increased.

Moreover, there are different levels of compradors, and they have to be skinned layer by layer. Most of the bottom-level compradors calculated carefully and found that they not only failed to make money, but also lost money.Now they are all stupid, no one is the filial sons and grandsons of the Japanese, how can they give them money, especially the Japanese use some bonds to top up, their hearts are also beating drums, ups and downs, there is no accurate score .

Therefore, some guys simply don’t let the Japanese do it. They are going to transfer the soybeans in their hands to the Fengtian government. The Fengtian government will never let go of these guys who are helping the Japanese. It is no problem for the Fengtian government to buy them , but the price must be lowered, and each load is three cents lower than that of ordinary people.

The cost of their purchase was basically around 8000 yuan, but they could only sell it for 10,000 yuan. They paid a full [-] cents for each dan, or [-] yuan for [-] dan.According to the quantity they bought, each person would have to pay at least [-] to [-], or even [-]+.This has already claimed more than half of the family property of these people, but they will not sell it to the Fengtian government.Then it can only be sold to the Japanese, and of course it can be kept in the hands, but it is more troublesome, because it needs a lot of money just to store it.

After thinking about it and weighing it over and over again, the Japanese paper chips are not as attractive as the real money from the Fengtian government.This group of people can only reluctantly sell their meat to the Fengtian government. They still have a little cash left, so they don't want to throw all their capital into it.

These guys also understood, so they should hurry up and think about other ways out.This bowl of rice for the Japanese is not good. The Fengtian government will not kill all these small fish and shrimps, but give them a chance to reform.

After 30 days of busy work, the soybean purchase is coming to an end.According to estimates, almost [-]% of the soybeans fell into the control of Feng Jun.The total exceeds [-] billion catties.Such a large amount of soybeans is an astronomical sum and must be used well.

Zhang Tinglan also returned to Fengtian in a hurry. As soon as he got off the train, he found Wang Yongjiang. The Governor Wang was also very proud recently, and he was watching the battle for soybeans.Fengtian won the first opportunity, and Wang Yongjiang couldn't be unhappy.

"Zhuoyan, I calculated it and deducted the domestic market. The soybeans to be exported exceeded 23 billion catties. In previous years, they were all sold to the Japanese. They could produce [-] million kilograms of soybean oil, all of which were exported to Europe and the United States. The Japanese made money from it." Take huge profits, but now these soybeans have fallen into our hands, what should we do next, we really have to plan carefully, and we can’t let the Japanese take away all the benefits.”

"Mr. Minyuan, we have obtained so many soybeans, and the Japanese oil mills are seriously short of supplies. I guess they will put pressure on the Fengtian government and ask us to sell soybeans to them."

"It's natural, Zhuoyan. You said we don't sell to them at all, seeing the Japanese oil mills come to an end, or raise the price and make more money from the Japanese?" Wang Yongjiang said: "According to Our previous plan was to control soybeans, and then further control the pricing power, squeeze the profit margins of the Japanese bit by bit, and take this industry back from the Japanese, do you have any new ideas now?"

"Of course." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Mr. Minyuan, the Japanese oil factories are more fragile than imagined, and their funds are seriously insufficient, and they are already in such distress that they have to use bonds to deal with those comprador merchants. At this time, We are still being polite to them, isn’t it God who does not take what they want and who will be blamed instead? I am going to use this opportunity to destroy the Japanese oil extraction industry in one fell swoop and take tens of millions of annual profits into my own hands. "
