In the morning, Zhang Yunhe left Azhen's house and drove to the bank to transfer another sum of money to his wife Liu Huilan's account. In fact, there was still a lot of money in Liu Huilan's bank account. He transferred some money every month just to let her not worry about life.

After returning to Jardine Matheson, Zhang Yunhe had just put down his briefcase when the phone on his desk rang.

He picked up the phone and said, "Hello?"

"Yunhe, it's me. Do you have time? Let's meet and talk?" Chen Xiangling's voice came from the phone.

Zhang Yunhe looked at his watch and said, "Where is it?"

"The leisurely teahouse on Second Road in the International Settlement!" Chen Xiangling said on the other end of the phone.

"Are you calling from a public phone?" Zhang Yunhe asked.

"Yes, what's the matter?"

Zhang Yunhe opened the Tiexue computer and searched for the phone line. Within two seconds, a three-dimensional virtual holographic image displayed Chen Xiangling's location and her current phone number. He said, "Hang up the phone and wait in the phone booth. I'll call you!"

"That, that's okay!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yunhe walked to the office door, locked it, drew the curtains, took out the Iron Blood Mask from his backpack, put it on, and used the virtual dial to dial the number of the phone booth where Chen Xiangling was.

"Hello?" Chen Xiangling's voice came.

Zhang Yunhe said, "It's me. Now there's no problem. You can tell me anything. How long will it take you to prepare the goods?"

Chen Xiangling said, "This batch of goods is quite large. We do have the goods, but it's difficult to transport them to the location you specified. It will probably take half a month!"

Zhang Yunhe said, "It doesn't matter to me, but I don't know how much the French currency will depreciate in half a month. If the depreciation is significant, we will have to recalculate the value of the goods you need. It's only 230 million now, but it may cost 250 million or 270 million by then!"

In fact, the depreciation of the legal tender this year is not large, it is relatively mild, but by next year, the depreciation of the legal tender will be cliff-like. At that time, ten yuan of legal tender can only be used as five yuan, four yuan, or even only three yuan.

The longer the war dragged on, the more serious the shortage of supplies in the country became, and the production and life of ordinary people were greatly affected.

Chen Xiangling pondered for a moment on the other end of the phone and said, "We will mobilize all our resources to ship the goods you need to your designated location as quickly as possible. Once the goods arrive, the price will be what it is at that time. We can also recalculate!"

Zhang Yunhe thought for a moment and said, "Besides the fact that minerals are strategic resources that are being scrambled for internationally, our domestic pig bristles and tung oil are also in short supply. If you can get some of them, I'll buy them too, and I'll satisfy you with the price!"

"And transporting these things is much easier than transporting ore!"

After hearing this, Chen Xiangling said happily, "You want bristles and tung oil too? That's great! We have a way to get them. I'll call you when we have them!"

"Okay, I'll wait for your call!"

Zhang Yunhe felt that there should be no problem with Chen Xiangling's business. It would not be difficult for the guerrillas and base in the rear to raise some minerals, pig bristles and tung oil.

Because of the blockade by the Japanese devils, it was difficult for the base and the guerrillas to sell these things, but Zhang Yunhe directly took care of them and solved the sales and transportation problems for them, and things became simple.

After removing the iron-blooded equipment, Zhang Yunhe sat in his office chair and smoked a cigarette, thinking about talking to General Manager Gaisik about the idea of ​​going on a business trip to Jiangzhou to expand the market.

After smoking a cigarette, Zhang Yunhe put out the cigarette, picked up the phone and called Gaisik.

"hello?"

"Mr. Gesik, I'm Zhang Yunhe. I have some work ideas I want to discuss with you!" said Zhang Yunhe.

"Oh, of course, Zhang, I have time now, you can come over!"

"OK, I'll be right there!"

Zhang Yunhe hung up the phone, got up, left the office, and went downstairs to the HSBC building.

The Jardine Matheson and HSBC buildings are not far from each other, both on the street by the river. Zhang Yunhe can reach them in less than two minutes by car.

"Mr. Gesik, Mr. Zhang is here!" The secretary knocked on the office door and reported to Gesik.

Gaisik stood up from behind his desk and extended his hand to Zhang Yunhe who came in. "Welcome, Mr. Zhang!"

Zhang Yunhe shook hands with Gesik, and they sat down as host and guest. The secretary quickly brought two cups of coffee.

The two drank coffee and talked about work.

"Mr. Zhang, I have been focusing my main energy on HSBC recently. I'll need you to pay more attention to the work at Jardine Matheson. I heard that you have adapted quickly and the work there has improved significantly. I am very grateful for this!" said Gesick.

Zhang Yunhe said, "This is my job. I came to see you today to get your advice. As the Japanese army continues to advance westward and tightens control over the occupied areas, the economic situation in the Japanese-occupied areas is declining, and our Jardine Matheson's business has also been affected!"

Gaisik nodded and agreed with Zhang Yunhe.

Zhang Yunhe continued, "The business at the foreign company has recently entered a stable phase. I plan to go to Jiangzhou to expand the market. I also want to open up the trade channels that have been interrupted by the war. What do you think?"

Gesik said happily, "Oh, Mr. Zhang, you have such a pioneering spirit and are so innovative. I certainly support your work with both hands. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Zhang Yunhe said, "Of course, this requires your support. Opening up the trade transportation routes is a very troublesome matter. I think I will need a lot of public relations fees to bribe some of the officials in charge of the cargo transportation routes and various monsters and demons!"

"As long as the transportation route is opened up, future trade will become much smoother. Even if there are occasional obstacles, they can be easily resolved with our existing network of relationships!"

"Also, our company has probably lost contact with a large number of our partners in Jiangzhou due to the war. I can try to reconnect with them during this trip. It would be even better if I had their contact information! I've asked the sales department for their information, but the person in charge said that this requires your approval!"

After hearing this, Gaisik thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll approve 5 yuan for your event. If you exceed that, you can ask me for reimbursement. But it's best not to exceed yuan, otherwise I won't be able to explain to the board of directors!"

"Also, as for the contact information of the partners we've lost contact with, that's no problem. I'll have the sales department send you a list and their contact information!"

Zhang Yunhe immediately said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Gesick!"

"By the way, how many people and goods do you plan to bring this time?" asked Gesik.

Zhang Yunhe said, "I'm going to bring five compradors with me. Each of them will be responsible for a business in a certain industry. Also, I'm planning to bring 3,000 tons of cargo this time. A 3,000-ton bulk carrier can handle it, and there won't be any problems with the shipping lanes along the way!"
