Crossing the spy war, my code name is God of Wealth

"I also feel like there's something about this person."

Dongye Daimu frowned and said, "When he was talking to you just now, his eyes seemed to be observing me."

"I wonder if he knows my identity?"

"That's impossible." Ono Mitsuo said, "You are an official of the Imperial Logistics Department and have never dealt with outsiders. How could this person know your identity?"

Higashino Oki shook his head and said, "I can't really explain it, but that's definitely the feeling he gave me."

"It is said that there are many hidden talents in China. Could this person really have the ability to see through people's hearts?"

"Hiss." Ono Mitsuo took a breath and murmured, "No way, there really is such a strange person in the world?"

"Hitsuno-kun, what should we do next?"

"They are now asking for an additional 20%, which means 180,000 French francs."

"Mr. Ono, military orders are as heavy as mountains. We don't have time to bargain with him anymore."

After a long silence, Higashino Oki said, "Promise him. This is what Minister Yoshikawa has told us to do. We must get this batch of drugs no matter what, otherwise something terrible will happen."

"But if you buy this batch of goods at such a high price, President Toyama Mitsuru will definitely be very dissatisfied. Do you want to reconsider it?"

Higashino Daiki's expression suddenly changed...

"Baka? You want to use the name of the president to pressure me?"

"I'll tell you again, whether it's the Japanese Chamber of Commerce or your useless chairman, Mitsuru Toyama, the purpose of your existence is to provide necessary assistance to the army of the Empire of Japan."

"As for what needs to be done, that's not your concern."

"If there is anything he is not satisfied with, tell him to talk to Minister Yoshikawa."

"No, no, no, Higashino-kun, that's not what I meant." Mitsuo Ono was so scared that he waved his hands repeatedly.

Minister Yoshikawa is the head of the logistics department, and Toyama Mitsuru is just the president of the Chamber of Commerce. What qualifications does he have to talk to Yoshikawa?

Higashino Oki said coldly: "Call Toyama Mitsuru right now and tell him that the price of goods has risen due to the war, and they want to increase the selling price by 20%."

"We are doing our best to mediate and hope to get the materials at the lowest price. As for the final transaction price, we are not sure yet."

"Hi." Mitsuo Ono didn't dare to say any more. He bowed and hurried to the office to make a phone call.

Higashino Daiki looked at the other person's leaving figure and sighed slightly. All the expenses of the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai were ostensibly covered by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but in fact most of the expenses were borne by the Japanese Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai.

Over the past century, Japan has reaped considerable benefits every time it invaded other countries.

Most of the domestic funds are used as combat reserves.

They invest in weapons and energy materials without regard to any cost.

The reserves and consumption of various materials such as oil, coal, iron ore, sugar and rubber have reached alarming levels.

It was precisely because of these material foundations that Japan became the number one military power in Asia, on par with the United Kingdom, the United States and other major powers, in just a few decades.

If this country can be likened to an ever-growing war machine, then 90% of the energy obtained from the invasion was used to expand and operate the machine.

However, once the speed of resource acquisition cannot keep up with the consumption brought about by expansion, various problems will quickly emerge.

For example, when dealing with the issue of Huaxia,

In order to obtain most of the resources on Chinese land as quickly as possible, the Japanese Empire formulated a detailed invasion plan early on.

With the experience of victorious battles against China over the past few decades, they confirmed that the invasion plan was perfect.

This also made most Japanese people believe that as long as the Empire launched a full-scale war, the army would use Shanghai as a fulcrum to quickly engulf the East China region.

Some even believed that the empire's army would only need three months to completely control China.

The current situation is that the Battle of Shanghai alone lasted for three months, and more than 30,000 Japanese soldiers died.

Not only that, most of the main forces of the Japanese army are now tied up in the battlefield in East China, and it is simply wishful thinking to want to control China in a short period of time.

The established combat objectives could not be achieved, and the aftermath of this battle began to slowly emerge.

The supply of materials has been delayed again and again, and now the Logistics Department is even required to raise materials on its own to meet the urgent needs.

In order to meet the material consumption on the battlefield, the Army Department could only take money from one pocket to pay for another.

A large amount of funds of the gendarmerie stationed in Shanghai were misappropriated and invested in the battlefield in East China, which also led to various problems in the gendarmerie's logistics supply.

In order to avoid trouble, Logistics Minister Masao Yoshikawa had no choice but to put pressure on the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and squeeze money from them to maintain the expenses of the gendarmerie.

Inside the president's office.

George looked at the two people who hadn't replied for a long time, and his brows unconsciously showed a layer of worry.

"Chen, your price might be too high and scare them away."

"Don't worry, George, this deal will stay." Chen Yang drank his coffee leisurely, seemingly not in a hurry at all.

"Really? So you are sure you can sell this batch of goods at a 20% higher price?" George was a little excited for no reason.

The cost price of this batch of sulfonamides is only 60,000 French francs. After deducting various expenses and transportation costs, the cost is at most 70,000.

Selling it for 150,000 is already a sky-high price. If it can be sold for 180,000, in addition to paying dividends to those behind the scenes, he can also make a small fortune.

I was originally worried about paying the deposit to the local supplier next month, but now I don’t have to worry about it anymore.

Chen Yang smiled and said, "However, you should not be too optimistic. This 20% is not easy to take. If you dare to take this money, the goods that your company brings to Shanghai in the future may be harassed by the Japanese for various reasons."

"After all, the Shanghai market is now dominated by Japanese people, and your goods are expressly prohibited by them."

"What should we do?" George's face changed, and he said quickly: "Chen, I don't want the two cents, just give them the original price, and don't let it have any impact on the business of the company."

"Why not take advantage of the money you can make?" Chen Yang said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

"George, write a check for $1,500 and give it to the translator later."

"Give money to the translator? Why?" George's voice suddenly rose eight octaves.

One thousand five hundred dollars, that's five thousand French francs. In today's Shanghai, one hundred and fifty French francs can buy a house in the Chinese area. Chen Yang actually wants to give the translator one thousand five hundred dollars. George doesn't understand what this operation is...

"George, you don't seem to understand the rules of Huaxia Trading Company."

“We call this rebate.”

As a veteran in the workplace in his previous life, Chen Yang naturally understood these unspoken rules.

After taking a sip of coffee, Chen Yang patiently explained, "In fact, whether this batch of goods is sold for 150,000 or 180,000, it's the same for them."

"The extra money neither costs them nor goes into their pockets."

"But if you are willing to show them some goodwill, I think they will be very happy to facilitate this cooperation."

"Besides, if they take your money, it means there will be another cooperation. If you can establish a relationship with the person behind the scenes, your business in the Chamber of Commerce will be much smoother in the future."

"Behind the scenes? What behind the scenes? Aren't they from the Japanese Chamber of Commerce? Why should I have anything to do with them?" Looking at George's innocent expression, Chen Yang really doubted whether this kid knew how to do business.

Japanese Chamber of Commerce, haha, why do they have to go through so much trouble to purchase so much sulfonamide?

Besides, if they wanted to make a profit from it, why would they offer such a high price?

Even a fool can see that this is purchasing supplies for the military.

"Although I don't understand why you ask me to do this, I think your judgment is correct." George thought about it, took out his checkbook and wrote a check for $1,500.

"Chen, I'll leave it to you later..."
