Dominate the Country

"This whole ship is loaded with cloth, cotton yarn and cotton. When we get to Japan, we will unload the goods and get the money. The shopping there is going on till the last moment, and Mitsubishi will definitely not escape this time..."

Lao Lu led his team to conduct interviews on the dock. The interviewees included merchants, foremen, crew members, laborers, and customs inspectors in sight, everyone at any location.

"Don't underestimate Japan. It started last month. Ships of cloth and cotton have been shipped there, and they can be taken as soon as they arrive."

"The people there are crazy about price wars. Do you know the price of cloth over there? You can buy one for less than two yuan, almost one and a half yuan. If the Japanese didn't allow the cloth to be exported, I even want to buy cloth from Japan and sell it back to China.”

"Do you know how expensive cotton is over there? Five times, five times more expensive than in China..."

Therefore, many Chinese cotton merchants shipped all the remaining cotton in their hands to Japan, which forced the Japanese to bleed.

There are countless merchants in Japan who are stocking up on large quantities of goods. They are taking advantage of the current huge price drop to stock up on cloth, and wait until the price of cloth returns to normal levels in the future before selling and making a lot of money.

"Close the Internet cafes and close the Internet quickly. Take advantage of the year to finish Japan." This will clear all obstacles for Commercial Bank to enter Japan.

In the palace, Chen Ming, who was wearing a single coat, threw away the second booklet given by Bao Zhidao and said to Chen Cong.

"I obey the order." Chen Cong said with a smile while cupping his fists. His eyes were on the right side of Chen Minglong's case. The memorial above was the second attached memorial from the North Koreans. "You take advantage of this." Please take this memo back as well.”

Chen Ming followed Chen Cong's gaze and looked to his left hand, the smile on his lips became even brighter. This second memorial was even more disgusting than the first one. Chen Ming didn't even know that when the next memorial was handed over, North Korea What a flatterer the stick will be.

"I obey the decree."

Chen Cong stepped forward to take over North Korea's internal memorandum, which must be kept in the cabinet files for record. What makes him even more happy is that at this rate, when North Korea's third memorial is presented in the spring of next year, he, Chen Cong, has just sat on the throne of the chief minister of the second cabinet, and he will have a big success at the beginning.

"Your Majesty, the time is approaching the twelfth lunar month, and the list of the next cabinet..."

Chen Cong chatted with Chen Ming for a while, and then asked an important point. This is a top priority that attracts the attention of countless people across China. What kind of cabinet system does this emperor want to play? Cabinet ministers are elected every five years. Unless there are any accidents or major mistakes, the emperor promises that he will not change cabinets casually like Emperor Chongzhen did. So the question becomes, who will be in the next cabinet?

Except for Chen Cong, Liu Dezhao and a few other "old people" who are already well-known to everyone, who are going to come out and who are going to go in?

Emperor, you can't turn into a school teacher. You have to hold a parent-teacher meeting during the Chinese New Year and publish the 'examination report card', right?

That would be very sad for most people. After all, in this officialdom, the higher you go, the fewer the positions, and the proud people are always in the minority.

"This? I already have a rough idea in my mind. It will be announced in a few days."

Chen Ming did an entire year of "extra" review work for this list. Now he really knows the ins and outs of many of his ministers. You can simply count the family resumes of the ministers in the imperial court and local affairs with your eyes closed. Although his brain does not seem to have been kissed by the time travel master, if anyone can read each piece of information until he vomits, he will definitely be able to reach Chen Ming's current level.

However, even if the eyes of the whole country are fixed on the cabinet, the revamped Ta Kung Pao has also opened up a glorious avenue of its own with Japanese news.

Even the emperor himself gave instructions to be wary of unfair business competition, promote a fair and reasonable social and economic order, and strictly abide by the law. This scene in Japan must be taken as a sign.

"Zhongyuan Daily" immediately made a lengthy systematic analysis and report on this. From Japan's political economy to the social power structure, the irreconcilable conflict of interests between local and central governments is the biggest obstacle to the orderly development of Japan's economy, and it is also the biggest obstacle to the orderly development of Japan's economy. The biggest reason why the laws regulating the market economic order cannot be adopted in Japan. Then there is a series of extensions...

For a time, Japan's overall image in China was taken to a new level.

The public's evaluation of North Korea seems to be slightly higher than that of Japan. Although North Korea's military is decadent and fragile, and it has been beaten to tears in several wars, North Korea's stable people's livelihood politics are undoubtedly more appetizing to Chinese society. Comparing Japan's shogunate, local daimyo, bushido, and Honganji Temple back then - it is obviously not to the Chinese's liking that a monk can also be a warlord.

In the past, Chinese public opinion had a high regard for Japan because of its high force value. But now seeing how "chaotic" Japanese society is, and then thinking about the strict laws and regulations in China, haha, a feeling of civilized people looking at barbarians arises spontaneously. Of course, there is definitely a role of national security here, but no matter what, the barbarism in Japan's business competition has turned into the barbarism of Japan's entire image. Compared to North Korea, a weak and civilized people, even if the barbarian's force value is high, it is still far lower than North Korea.

When time entered the last month of the fifth year of Chengtian, countless aristocratic rich people were repeating the kind of extravagant life as usual, while the lowest-level working people, who were thousands of times more numerous, were still struggling for survival.

A sensational news suddenly reached Japan. Mitsubishi Textile's biggest crisis - the source of cotton was solved.

Sato Ryoichi, who had disappeared in Japan for several months, actually signed a transaction contract with a Chinese cotton tycoon in Shanghai. The other party supplied Mitsubishi's raw materials all year round at the Chinese market price plus appropriate freight, which was considered a normal price.

This was like a bolt from the blue, causing a sensation throughout Japan. Countless people were asking: Is this true or false?

In order to save Mitsubishi's last chance of survival, the Tokugawa Shogunate wanted to go down bare-chested, but their pressure was firmly received by the Chinese envoys to Japan. When the Chinese envoys to Japan came to stand with the pro-China faction, the whole of Japan suddenly realized that the Tokugawa Shogunate was just a coward.

Since the war broke out in August and September, it is already December, three months. Mitsubishi's situation is getting worse every day. People no longer pin their hopes on Mitsubishi. After all, life must go on. Sanno Pingbei, a once-powerful figure in Japan, is destined to fall with the New Year's bell.

But just when everyone was in despair, across the sea, Japan's western neighbor suddenly extended a warm helping hand to Sanno Pingbei.

Mitsubishi Textile's revival is no longer a dream.

This change is too big.

This is simply unimaginable for countless Japanese, because since the beginning of October, Japanese newspapers have been repeatedly screening the news that Mitsubishi Textile is about to go bankrupt. In these newspapers, Sanno Pingbei, the boss of Mitsubishi Textile, has not been discredited. Japanese national culture guarantees this - real opponents must be respected, Sanno Pingbei is obviously such a figure, and the pro-China faction will not discredit his image for no reason. These newspapers instead portrayed Sanno Pingbei as a tragic hero, a Sanada Nobuyuki-style person. Although he is a typical example of overestimating one's own abilities, he is also a synonym for courage and perseverance, just like Don Quixote in Western literature who rushed towards the windmill.

How could this typical example of a stranger hero suddenly turn defeat into victory?

"This news is probably fake..."

After receiving this news, many people were so hesitant. In fact, in the hearts of many Japanese, if Sanye Pingbei, who fought to the last moment and fell down, committed suicide when Mitsubishi completely fell, he would become a perfect Japanese tragic hero and a typical "god" in Japanese culture.

At this moment, it is conceivable how many people are unwilling to believe this fact. Even many rightists, these people had prepared to abandon the big money and the living idol in October and November, and instead made up their minds to shape Sanye Pingbei into a permanent spiritual monument. This can also become the spiritual pillar of the rightists! But this sudden news disrupted everything!

The rumors alone seemed insufficient to convince people. Mitsubishi Textiles then announced that the fifth phase of the project was underway and additional investment was being made. It was expected that the total investment would increase from 1 million yen to 1.5 million yen.

At the same time, Sanno Pingbei also planned to invest 200,000 yen to build the largest cotton planting base in Japan in Ise, Iga, and Shima [Mie Prefecture] to ensure the source of raw materials for textile factories and avoid the situation of bidding for raw materials in the future.

This statement could not be more credible. No matter how unwilling the Japanese were to believe it, they could not lie in the face of facts. The first to respond to this news was the Securities Exchange. The Mitsui family quickly lifted the trading restrictions on Mitsubishi shares, and the stock price rushed to 5 yen per share on the first day of relisting. The impact of this news on the Japanese was unimaginable.

Then, a series of subsequent news also came out - Shanghai Commercial Bank gave Mitsubishi great support, otherwise how could Sanno Pingbei give Shanghai Commercial Bank 25% of Mitsubishi shares at once?

There is really no such thing as a free lunch in the world.

Chinese banks are unreliable. At critical moments, they will only add insult to injury and take advantage of the situation.

The Japanese certainly don't know the tricks that the Commercial Bank really played, but the Japanese are not stupid either. Of course, they know how Sanye Pingbei gave up one-quarter of Mitsubishi shares. This is really a classic case of taking advantage of the situation. The Commercial Bank was so bold that it sent Mitsubishi to the guillotine. The guillotine was about to fall, and then it came to the rescue.

How much money did the Commercial Bank give Mitsubishi? One million yen, two million yen, or more?

No one knows, although the whole of Japan is extremely curious. Although on the fifth day after the news came, the Sumitomo family announced that their recent successful strangulation war was over. Because Tang Feipeng, the person behind the Sumitomo family, suddenly stopped everything and ran back to China to settle the matter like a fire on his butt.

The whole Japanese society was silent, and everyone was moved by the powerful force shown by the Commercial Bank. Tang Feipeng, the god of the Japanese business world, could not withstand the huge pressure of the Commercial Bank.

At this moment, Chen Ming in the Nanjing Palace was looking through the third memorial about Japan sent by Bao Zhidao: "This is really making a lot of money..."
