Chapter 649 Big Customer
By September, the Red Party's major raiding campaign was still going on, and the results were constantly expanding.
The heads of the intelligence agencies in Shanghai couldn't sleep well at night after reading the daily reports on where the Red Party had attacked and what results they had achieved.
Chen Yang slept peacefully, this is the advantage of not being involved in intelligence work.
However, just because he sleeps peacefully doesn't mean his subordinates can sleep peacefully too.
Since the Great Raid, Gao Tianjiu has hardly had a good night's sleep.
Almost half of the weapons in the hands of the Red Party were provided by Xiaotongqiao.
If the Japanese go crazy and can't deal with the Reds, and turn to them, it would be like a fire in the city gate, and the fish in the pond will be affected...
However, when he told Chen Yang about his worries, Chen Yang sneered.
Gao Tianjiu had never worked in a Japanese organization and didn't know the ins and outs of the place, but how could Chen Yang not know that?
Commander Tada is just like Yoshisaburo Yamamoto in the past, proud, smart, conceited, insolent, and as stubborn as a donkey.
His superiors are very troubled by him.
When he was in North China, he questioned the strength of the Kwantung Army more than once regardless of the occasion. He even said that the failure to conquer the Far East was entirely a mistake in the imperial high-level command. He said that if you find a pig and tie a gun to it, it can rush into Moscow.
The public security and anti-counterrevolutionary plan he designed was submitted directly to the headquarters without anyone's permission.
When the domestic army department inquired about this, Commander Ishihara and other imperial high-ranking officials looked puzzled, as they had no idea at all.
Moreover, there is more than that, because the cage policy he designed brought results to the anti-counterrevolutionary work in North China.
He has questioned the capabilities of these imperial high-ranking officials more than once in high-level meetings, claiming that they do not understand grid management at all, which has made many people lose face.
Therefore, when he was targeted by the Red Party, not many troops were willing to send troops to help him.
This also led to the Red Party's increasing success.
Early September, Shanghai, Meihua Building, Joint Transport Department.
Because the large-scale sabotage campaigns launched by the Red Party were aimed at railways and highways.
The business of the transportation department where Chen Yang works has also been affected to a certain extent.
However, the affected areas are mostly in Central and North China.
Among them, there was almost no good place on the Zhengtai Road, Tongpu Road and Pingjin Line, which also led to the fact that supplies from the north could basically not move.
However, all this has little to do with the Chinese expeditionary force in the south.
The supplies from the south should be transported as they should be.
In order not to affect transportation, the transportation units in the north, led by the South Manchuria Railway, made several suggestions to restore the routes before the Guanzi class.
However, this proposal was quickly rejected by the joint transportation department where Chen Yang worked.
This situation is very funny. They asked to restore the previous route, and the first thing they needed was the consent of the joint transportation department.
As long as Chen Yang says no, there is no room for negotiation.
President Omura of the Manchurian Railway had already sent his request to divide the line to the mainland, but he was rejected the next day.
The local reaction was the same: if the route was to be divided up, the consent of the Joint Transport Department must first be obtained.
After all, the current Chinese garrison has become accustomed to the high-speed supply provided by the joint transportation department.
If you continue to cause trouble or division at this time, you will only be shooting yourself in the foot.
Knock, knock, knock. In the office, Chen Yang, who was studying the supply route, heard a knock on the door and raised his head and said, "Come in."
"Minister, Mr. Ye from the Zhejiang Merchants Association wants to see you." He Yuehua walked into the office and said respectfully.
"Oh, please invite him in, and make a cup of Longjing tea for Boss Ye. He can't get used to other teas."
Ye Zhengxian is the idol of Chen Yang's dead father Chen Zhongxian. Even if Chen Yang is not interested in knowing his idol's preferences, he can't stand his dead father's nagging.
He Yuehua bowed slightly and hurried downstairs to pass on the message.
After a while, a middle-aged man wearing a silk gown and gold-rimmed glasses appeared at the door of the office.
"Boss Ye, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look so radiant. It seems you have made a lot of money recently."
Ye Zhengxian clasped his fists and said, "My small business is all thanks to Minister Chen's support."
"Otherwise, we have no right to be on equal footing with those people in Shanghai Market and Shanxi Merchants Guild."
"Boss Ye, you are too kind," Chen Yang said with a smile, "We are mutually beneficial. Without the support of Boss Ye's Zhejiang Merchants Bank, Xiaotongqiao's business would not be so stable."
"By the way, what brings you here today?"
Ye Zhengxian hesitated for a moment and said, "I have a customer who is very powerful and wants to do business with us."
"He doesn't want money. He wants to buy a hundred boxes of penicillin from you."
Chen Yang was slightly stunned. One hundred boxes of penicillin were not a small number. Even for the Sunshine Trading Company that Lin Tianbao was in charge of, these one hundred boxes would cost more than one million US dollars.
If it is Japanese penicillin from Xiaotongqiao, the price will be even higher.
Such big customers are rare.
"What does he want to exchange for?" Chen Yang asked calmly.
"Supplies, all kinds of scarce supplies." Ye Zhengxian said: "Tung oil, pig bristles, tungsten ore, antimony ore, nickel ore, tin ore."
“These are the ones you have been collecting vigorously.”
Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, looked Ye Zhengxian up and down and said, "Boss Ye is really good at this, he can even get in touch with Shancheng."
Ye Zhengxian seemed a little flustered for a moment, but soon calmed down.
In fact, once these things were spoken out, with Chen Yang's knowledge, he could easily guess who was behind them.
Where else in the whole of China can produce millions of dollars worth of ore and these materials at once?
Apart from the logistics department in the mountain city, no one else has this ability.
It is said that the prince had just taken over the Independent Commission Against Corruption in mid-July, and at this time, someone dared to sell logistical supplies openly.
He didn't build the Independent Commission Against Corruption in vain.
Ye Zhengxian said sternly: "Minister Chen, isn't it the rule of your Xiaotong Bridge not to ask the source of the goods? Where did the customer get the goods from? Don't pursue it any further."
Chen Yang smiled and said, "Of course. In fact, I have long thought that since the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway was closed, the goods from Shancheng would not be able to be shipped out."
"These materials will definitely appear on the market, but we have been waiting for more than a month and there is still no news."
"It seems that your big client is also waiting to see the market situation."
"It doesn't matter. Let's talk business. If he really wants 100 boxes of penicillin, then let him send the list of goods over first and let Lao Jiu evaluate the price."
