Chapter 636 Zhou Cheng was also taken aback
After hearing the Chief of Staff's answer, the commander showed an expression of agreement: "Since the National Salvation Army will find it difficult to have another food crisis in the future, then we will sell them 10 million kilograms of grain now. In addition to increasing their grain reserves, it will not have any impact on the next battle situation!"
"Not only that, selling 10 million kilograms of grain to the national rescue army will also bring us great benefits."
"Do you still remember the food we plundered from the two places before Yangquan and Shouyang were captured by the National Salvation Army? The total number of 23 million kilograms was piled up in several large warehouses."
"Originally, half of these grains belonged to the troops stationed in Yangquan and Shouyang, but they were all destroyed by the National Salvation Army and the Eighth Route Army, so all these more than 20 million kilograms of grain would fall into our hands."
"The autumn harvest will be coming in a few months. The troops in the occupied areas will definitely send a large number of new grains that have just been collected. If the stored grains that have been snatched away as soon as possible, and free up the warehouse to load new grains. After the new grains are delivered to each occupied areas, we will not even have a place to store them."
"After the new grain is collected, the emergence of a large amount of new grain will not only drop in grain prices, but no one is willing to collect and store grains, and maybe those grains will rot in our hands."
"Instead of doing this, it's better to replace grain with oceans and gold now, and also free up the warehouse."
"Oceans and gold will not depreciate due to the autumn harvest. If we don't have enough food at that time, we can still buy more and cheaper new grains from the oceans that sell stored grains to harvest, why not do it?"
The chief of staff said the food was also regarded as treasures by the chief of staff.
The Japanese did not have the rules of seizing them to the public, and the food was not seized by combat troops on the battlefield, so there was no reason to hand it over to the Front Command.
Therefore, when the military headquarters received this batch of grain, the specific distribution plan was decided.
Among the food and iron farm tools sent back by the front line troops, half of them are rewarded to the front line troops performing tasks in proportion, and the other half is returned to the military headquarters and is divided into each officer according to the level and rank, which is considered a reward from the military headquarters to everyone.
According to the distribution plan formulated by the military headquarters, if all the grain and iron agricultural tools are replaced with oceans, the Chief of Staff himself can get 10,000 yuan."
Now all the food and iron tools rewarded to the front line are returned to the military headquarters. If they are converted into oceans together, the Chief of Staff can directly get 20,000 yuan, which is more than the usual ten years of military pay."
Anyone will be jealous of such a huge amount of wealth before him and does not violate any discipline. The Chief of Staff is no exception.
If these stored grains were really rotten in the hands of the garrison because of the autumn harvest, it would be like the 20,000 oceans I had obtained flew away from my eyes, and the Chief of Staff would definitely not agree.
So he nodded anxiously after hearing the commander's analysis: "Sir, wise, according to what you said just now, if the National Salvation Army really wants to buy a large amount of food from us, it is best to sell all the more than 20 million kilograms of food."
The commander pointed his head and continued, "Not only can we get a lot of benefits in this transaction, but now we can sell food to the National Savior Army to further weaken their economic strength."
"The current food price is the highest in the whole year. When we sell food at this time, even if the price is a little lower, the one who suffers will suffer will be the national rescue army."
"When they wait for the autumn harvest, they will find that if they buy more than 20 million kilograms of ocean and gold that they consumed, they will be fine if they wait until the autumn harvest, and they will get new grain."
The Chief of Staff became more and more excited: "Sell the grain in our hands at a high price. After the autumn harvest is over, we will deliberately release the blockade line and send people to the national rescue military defense zone to purchase a large amount of new grain at a price lower than the current one."
"This will not only emptiate the new grain in the defense zone of the National Rescue Military, but also make a lot of money!"
"Sir, your method is so good. I will now give the negotiator an order to find a way to sell all the more than 20 million kilograms of grain to the National Savior Army. If the price is appropriate, the farm tools and iron pots we snatched from Yangquan and Shouyang can also be sold to the National Savior Army together."
The commander immediately agreed: "Just do this, it is best to empty all the ocean and gold in the hands of the national rescue army."
"They are in the area occupied by the Imperial Army. If they want to not be eliminated by us and grow step by step, they not only need food, but also a lot of funds. Otherwise, they will not survive and they can only bow their heads to us obediently."
At the Yangquan Command of the National Salvation Army, the middle-aged man stood in front of Zhou Cheng again in just one day.
Compared to yesterday, today he is obviously much more confident and his waist is straighter.
Because the military headquarters gave him greater authorization and promised him many benefits.
As long as he can sell all the more than 20 million kilograms of grain from the military headquarters, the price should not be too low, and he can get promoted and make a fortune when he returns to the occupied area.
After receiving this good news, he had a night of dreams last night.
After completing the task successfully, he returned to Taiyuan, the Japanese not only promoted him to an official, but also transferred him to Taiyuan as an officer, but also rewarded him with a lot of money...
In order to make his dream come true, he appeared at the National Salvation Army at dawn.
In the conference room, Zhou Cheng appeared and said anxiously: "Hello, Captain Zhou. I asked the boss last night that as long as the price offered by the army, we will have as much food as the army wants. If we didn't say 10 million kilograms earlier, we can take out 20 million kilograms!"
This time it was Zhou Cheng's turn to be shocked.
When Zhou Cheng proposed to buy 10 million kilograms of grain yesterday, he did not intend to buy so much grain.
He knew that although the Japanese now wanted to win over the National Salvation Army and did not want to see any exchanges between the National Salvation Army and the Eighth Route Army, they had not yet met any requirements of the National Salvation Army, and what they wanted was food, not ordinary things.
To a certain extent, they can even be called strategic materials.
You know, the Japanese cannot respond to the Imperial Army, let alone the opponent's national rescue army.
His idea was to first propose a quantity of 10 million jin, and to bargain during negotiations between the two sides, and finally, he would be satisfied if he could buy back five or six million jin.
As a result, the Japanese responded today directly shocked himself.
The Japanese not only agreed to sell themselves 10 million kilograms of grain, but also made a promise to sell themselves more grain.
This result was completely beyond Zhou Cheng's expectations.
After staring at the other party's eyes and confirming that he was not lying, he asked again seriously: "Can you really sell us 20 million kilograms of grain?"
Seeing Zhou Cheng being scared by himself, the middle-aged man was particularly proud and felt that he had avenged a revenge of the one-point scared yesterday. His back was straighter than before, and he answered confidently: "As long as your army can afford the price, we can provide up to 23 million kilograms of food!"
"In addition, we can also sell a large number of farm tools and iron pots to Guijun, as much as we have."
"As far as I know, when the Youth Army occupied Shouyang and Yangquan, the Japanese and puppet troops not only snatched all the food and livestock from the people, but also snatched their farm tools and iron pots together."
"Although your army is creating iron pots and farm tools at all costs, it still takes a lot of time to match all the farm tools and iron pots for tens of thousands of people."
"My boss happened to have a batch of ready-made farm tools and iron pots in his hand. If Guijun wants it, we can sell it to you at a discount!"
After hearing this, Zhou Cheng understood a little!
The farm tools and iron pots in the other party's hands were stolen from Yangquan and Shouyang.
Then the 23 million kilograms of food they could sell to the National Savior Army must have been stolen from more than 100,000 victims.
The reason why I was in a hurry to sell it to the National Savior Army was 80% because the autumn harvest was coming soon.
After the autumn harvest is over, the Japanese will snatch a large amount of new grain from the occupied areas, and they will definitely not look down on the stored grain snatched from the victims.
In addition, the price of grain fell sharply at that time, and the price of stored grain was lower than that of new grain. If the Japanese did not deal with the stored grain as soon as possible, the value of stored grain would definitely drop by several percent after the autumn harvest.
The grain and agricultural tools were the private property of the Japanese and puppet troops in Shanxi garrisons. After their value was reduced, it was tantamount to the loss of the private property of the Shanxi garrisons.
The Japanese didn't want their pockets to be damaged, so they were so anxious to deal with the food and agricultural tools and cash them all.
After understanding the reasons, Zhou Cheng quickly calmed himself down and decided to do something. He first got the farm tools and iron pots in short supply in the defense zone before talking about other things. He immediately looked at the other party and asked: "We do need a lot of farm tools and iron pots. I don't know what the price of the iron pots and agricultural pots you want to sell. If it is too high, we will definitely not be able to afford it?"
The middle-aged man didn't expect Zhou Cheng to react from the confusion so quickly.
Although shocked, in order to reach this deal that concerns his wealth and prosperity, he quickly replied: "Twenty percent of iron pots and farmers have 80% new, 30 percent of iron pots and farmers have 70% new, 30 percent of iron pots and farmers have 60% new, and 20 percent of iron pots and farmers have 50% new. If your army wants to buy in large quantities, I can make the decision. All the farm tools and iron pots are not divided into old and new, and they will buy them for you at 70% of the market price!"
Zhou Cheng shook his head: "It's too expensive!"
"I believe you also know that we have organized all the blacksmiths in the defense zone to make these things day and night, and the cost is only 60% or 70% of the market price."
"Instead of spending so much money to buy a batch of 600% new farm tools and iron pots from you, it is better to make them ourselves, and the speed will be slower!"
Middle-aged people also know that their offer is a bit loud.
In order not to scare Zhou Cheng away, he was embarrassed to ask: "What price do you think of to buy these farm tools and iron pots at that price?"
"Weigh directly and buy this batch of farm tools and iron pots at the price of scrap iron." Zhou Cheng decided to give the other party a big mouthful and thought about the answer.
"No, it's too low. If this happens, we might as well treat it as scrap iron, so that we can save money from transportation." This time it was the middle-aged man's turn to disagree, and then he made a decision after seeing Zhou Cheng give in a little.
"If your army is sincere, we will deal with these farm tools and iron pots at 60% of the market price."
