Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 817 A War Without Smoke VII
Don't panic if you have food in your hand.

By the beginning of October, more than 6000 million catties of grain had been transported from the northeast to the pass.

The major cities also quietly hoarded millions of pieces of cotton cloth and millions of tons of coal.

Yulong Spinning Mill is a medium-sized textile mill in Shanghai.Qiao Yuren, the owner of the spinning mill, was in his 30s. After his father Qiao Donghai died in the year of victory in the Anti-Japanese War, he took over the management of the spinning mill.

Originally, all the family members were worried that Qiao Yuren was too young and lacked experience, but the following years opened their eyes.

"If you want to make money, you need money to make money!"

This is a sentence that Qiao Yuren often talks about.

In fact he did the same.

In just a few years after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the French currency experienced a rapid depreciation, followed by the depreciation of the gold coupons.Ordinary people are miserable, but they create opportunities for speculators to buy short and sell short and hoard.

Qiao Yuren did not focus on textiles, but learned from speculators to hoard materials at low prices and then sell them at high prices to make a lot of money.

The money he earned in the four years he took over the spinning mill exceeded the profit of Yulong Spinning Mill in ten years in normal times!

This made Qiao Yuren burst with confidence.

If it wasn't for his family members and a few old courtiers left behind by his father to stop him, he really wanted to sell the spinning mill and concentrate on doing this kind of speculative business that can easily make a lot of money.

Now the cotton mill's warehouse is full of cotton cloth, Qiao Yuren asked the people below to sell a little bit every once in a while, and hoarded the rest in the warehouse.He had ordered that every room available in the factory be set aside for the stockpiling of cotton cloth.In the yard of the factory there is also a large coal pile of more than [-] tons of coal, which Qiao Yuren snapped up at a high price.

In order to do this, Qiao Yuren spent almost all the money at home and in the spinning mill.In addition to borrowing tens of millions from the government bank, he also borrowed tens of millions of RMB from the bank at an interest rate of [-]% per day.

The interest rate of this money is revolving, and the daily interest alone can scare people to death.

But now that the price of materials is one day, the bank will not ask him for money at all.Why are there so many materials in Yulong Spinning Mill?The value-added of those materials due to the soaring prices every day is more than the interest of the donkey rolling!

Qiao Yuren now only does three things every day, that is, to send someone out in the morning to find out how much the listed prices of materials have increased today, and then to inspect the piles of coal and cotton cloth in the spinning mill to figure out how much these materials have increased in value.

The third and most important thing is that Qiao Yuren racks his brains every day to find ways to find more money to buy supplies.

In order to stabilize prices, the government often sells materials at low prices, but these materials are quickly bought up by speculators like Qiao Yuren.It will not have the effect of stabilizing prices at all, but will make speculators more and more arrogant.

During this period of time, the quantity and frequency of the government's sale of materials was less than that of the previous period.

Qiao Yuren and other speculators were very depressed.

On November 20th, the manager of the spinning mill walked quickly into Qiao Yuren's office.

"Boss, the state-owned company has started to sell supplies again, but the price has increased by [-]% compared to last time. Do we want to buy it?" the manager asked.

"A [-]% increase? What is this? At worst, we'll raise [-]% when it's sold!" Qiao Yuren replied indifferently.

The next day, the state-run company still sold materials, but the price was [-]% higher than the previous day.

"Delay the wages of the mill workers for a few days, and use the money to buy supplies!" Qiao Yuren said decisively.

Delaying the wages of cotton mill workers was a common thing in the past, and Qiao Yuren didn't take embezzlement of workers' wages as a serious matter.

On the third day, the state-run company was still selling. "The courageous ones will die, and the timid ones will starve to death. One must be courageous!" Qiao Yuren said through gritted teeth.

He ran to the bank on Jinling East Road to borrow money.But now that the daily interest rate is 1000%, Qiao Yuren finally borrowed [-] million at [-]% daily interest!

By November 24th, the prices of materials sold by state-owned companies had reached the same level as the black market prices.At this moment, Qiao Yuren was like a person with a bloated stomach, sitting there could only stare blankly.

However, there are still some speculators with deep pockets entering the market to snap up supplies.

But this time, the materials of the state-owned company continued to flow like a flood!
Moreover, the price gradually decreased. After ten days, the average price of materials was only [-]% of the original peak!
"Boss, Director Zhang of the Labor Bureau of the Military Control Commission wants to see you." The manager walked in and said.

Qiao Yuren wanted to hide, but he didn't dare.

"Come in, please!" Qiao Yuren said boldly.

Zhang Lixing in military uniform walked into Qiao Yuren's office accompanied by two worker representatives.

"Please sit down, please sit down!" Qiao Yuren said with a forced smile.

These words were not only addressed to Zhang Lixing, but also to the two worker representatives.

Whether it was during the Republic of China period or the Japanese occupation period, workers did not have the courage to speak face-to-face with their bosses.Now they have someone backing them up, and those who backed unscrupulous businessmen like Qiao Yuren have been beaten away by the Red Party.

Zhang Lixing sat down and said solemnly: "Boss Qiao, the workers in your spinning mill have reported to the government that you have been in arrears with wages for almost a week! I hope you will pay all the workers in the spinning mill by tomorrow at the latest!"

"Report to the government, I'm really in trouble now, can you give me a few more days?" Qiao Yuren begged.

If it is useful to kneel and kowtow now, he will give Zhang Lixing a few kowtows without hesitation!
"You should be very rich. When I came in, I saw a coal mountain piled up in the yard. Why do you still say you have no money? It seems that Boss Qiao is very dishonest!" Zhang Lixing said sharply.

Qiao Yuren turned to face the two worker representatives and said in a low voice, "How about I convert the salary into coal at today's market price and distribute it to the workers?"

"We need coal, but we workers still have to buy food and vegetables to feed our families. Are we allowed to sell coal on the street? We don't agree to that!" a worker representative said decisively.

"Let's do this," Zhang Lixing said.

"You immediately ask the people below to dispose of the coal and other hoarded materials, and pay the wages of the workers in the spinning mill." Zhang Lixing continued.

Qiao Yuren was dizzy after hearing these words.

But he nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes! I'll let the people below do it right away!"

When Zhang Lixing and two worker representatives walked to the door, they suddenly turned around and said: "Boss Qiao, I want to remind you that the end of the month is coming soon, and it's time to pay taxes. According to the regulations of the Military Control Commission, one day late payment of taxes will be fined [-]%." Third, don't forget!"

If it was in the past, Qiao Yuren had many ways to solve these problems.

He can spend money to find someone in the government of the Republic of China to clear things up. Money can turn ghosts around.

Workers who dare not to work will be fired immediately!
If he dared to make trouble, he would call the police and those from the gang to suppress it.

But now these tricks are useless, because now it is the world of the Red Party!
