Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 155 Japan's Soybean Trade

Yoshio Mitsui's face was livid, and he didn't know what Noma said.

Damn Russians, this group of despicable losers, how dare they take action against the firms of the Great Japanese Empire? Are they really not afraid of the imperial army recovering North Manchuria?Mitsui Yoshio kept cursing in his heart.

But then he let out a heavy sigh. Incompetent rage is the current situation. The employees of the Qing Dynasty were threatened, and Mitsui Trading Co. had no choice. After all, Bingcheng was under the rule of the Russians.

As for the resistance, hey, there are more than a dozen Japanese employees in Mitsui Corporation, should you use these people to resist?Benzi is the most self-aware nation. When you are strong, I will show weakness, and when you are weak, I will come up to bite you.

"Noma, go ahead and call everyone in." Yoshio Mitsui said to the employee standing in front of him.When everyone is together, "Everyone, I, Yoshio Mitsui, please everyone. Our situation will still be very difficult in the future, but I hope that everyone will help each other and tide over the difficulties together."

As a branch manager, Yoshio Mitsui still has his own wrists, he should bow his head and cheer up.

At Mitsui Trading Co., Ltd., the manager is doing ideological work for the employees. The next step is to send his own people to buy soybeans around the ice city. After all, the Japanese employees sent to the ice city all have a Chinese language foundation and can communicate easily. Still no problem.

Such a situation continued to be staged in Mitsui, Heju, and Nakagawa, the three Japanese firms that first settled in Bingcheng.

……

Russian Chamber of Commerce
Alexei was organizing the members of the chamber of commerce to discuss the next move, and Zhu Chuanwen was also on the list.

The strong strength of Hanyao Commercial Bank has once again opened the eyes of these Russian businessmen. The whole 50 rubles of funds have taken the lead in the first wave of soybean purchases, and it has also given these Russian businessmen time to urge the bank , finally raised enough funds, and the next step is to start taking action.

Of course, the Russians are not good birds. For example, Alexei, in the ice city, the roots are deep enough, and the Russian police are his handwriting.

"President, I heard that the Qing employees of the three Japanese firms Mitsui, Waju, and Nakagawa have all resigned?" A Russian businessman laughed like a rogue, and flattered Alexei fiercely.

"Okay, are the funds in place?" Alexei asked, obviously this is not the first time he has done this, and he doesn't want to mention it.Mystery is the most common means used by superiors.

"It's in place, President!" The Russian businessmen reported their progress one by one.

Compared with the support of the state, Zhu Chuanwen is a small business. There is not only one businessman with a keen sense of smell in Russia. This time, the soybean hegemony has the shadow of the Russian Finance Minister behind him.

The soybean production of the whole Black Province alone is about 3 tons, one-third of which will be used for export, one-third will be used for self-use, and one-third will be turned into derivative products.The export trade of soybeans in the Kanto region can be said to have run through the entire modern history. As the three regions with the highest soybean production in the Qing Dynasty, the three provinces of the Kanto region exported about 11 tons of finished soybeans every year, not to mention derivative products such as soybean oil and soybean cake.

And Japan has been the main consumer of Kanto’s soybean trade and exports since Sino-Japanese War. Every year, about 9% of Kanto’s soybeans are sold to Japan, and 1% are sold to Europe and Southeast Asia.

Why does Japan love soybeans?
There are two points, one is the problem of eating habits, natto, miso soup, and tofu are inseparable from soybeans, and the other is the problem of land fertility. The Japanese prefer rice, but there are few lands and many people. Since the Meiji Restoration Afterwards, this emerging country prospered all of a sudden. Based on the preciousness of European fertilizers, bean cake fertilization gradually became the main method of fertilization in China.

"President, although we can curb the soybean purchases of the three Japanese firms in Bingcheng, we can't do anything about Fengtian and Liao Province." Zhu Chuanwen asked a question.

"Mr. Zhu, do you know how much the soybean shortage in Japan is this year?" Alexei said with confidence.

The annual consumption of finished soybeans in Japan is about 20 tons. Although the domestic soybean harvest is bumper this year, North Korea, which has just arrived, has a short harvest. After all, this is also the trick of the Russians.

So even if there are soybeans in the two provinces of Kanto, there is still a gap of about 5 tons in Japan. The Russians are very greedy. The soybeans in Russia and the soybeans in North Manchuria are all in their pockets.

So it can only be said that what Zhu Chuanwen said is not accurate. The soybeans in western Liaoning may have been sold to the Japanese, and the soybeans in eastern Liaoning are still in the hands of the Russians.

"Then I'm fine. I can't do anything about the subsequent soybean purchases!" Zhu Chuanwen said to everyone in the Russian Chamber of Commerce.

The rapid retreat, the fat that the Russians have been eyeing for a long time, is now a piece of fat that Zhu Chuanwen has taken, which is still a blessing from God. This year's weather is good and there is plenty of rain. The harvest of soybeans was about a week earlier. More than It caught the Japanese by surprise, which made the Russians unprepared.

Therefore, all the soybeans in the early stage, although the Russians are also harvesting, are all small troubles.

In fact, the big grain merchants from all the prefectures and departments came directly to Hanyao Commercial Bank. The two parties also recognized their respective strengths in this transaction. One side has grain and the other side has money.

Zhu Chuanwen also asked Gu Ansheng to pass on the news that wheat will be harvested in the future, so everyone can communicate in advance.

Amid the greetings from everyone, Zhu Chuanwen walked out of the gate of the Russian Chamber of Commerce. As soon as he went out, the two guards waiting at the gate drove the newly purchased European-style carriage to pick up Zhu Chuanwen.

"In the final analysis, I know why Lord Andre favors this Qing countryman." Alexei said with emotion to everyone.

Who would not like a person from the Qing Dynasty who knows how to choose?

"In the future, we will maintain a cooperative relationship with Hanyao Commercial Bank." Alexey said to everyone, and then discussed the next plan to deal with the Japanese.

……

Hanyao Flour Mill Building

Gu Ansheng was waiting downstairs for Zhu Chuanwen, and several grain merchants came to him, but they had run out of money, so it was up to Zhu Chuanwen to decide what to do.

The carriage clanged to the door, put down Zhu Chuanwen, and drove to the porcelain house.

"Boss, I have a little soybean business here." Gu Ansheng walked up and said.

"The purchase of soybeans should stop. In the future, the Russians and the Japanese will compete. We are small, so we won't get involved. Then introduce these businessmen to the Russian Chamber of Commerce. Remind them, It's better to sell to the Russians than to the Japanese." Zhu Chuanwen explained and walked towards his office.
