Chapter 765 Onboard! Seven

Now there is $110,000 in Citibank's account.

Qian Xiaobao felt that he could finally take a breath, but the matter was far from over.

There are still a lot of messy things when transporting machinery and equipment from Shanghai, and there are many places to spend money.

The two biggest expenses are purchasing land and building factories. These two expenses have not been settled yet.

"I'm going back to Shanghai soon. After I get the telegram I sent in Shanghai, you immediately contact a steamship with a displacement of about 2,000 tons to transport equipment to Shanghai." Qian Xiaobao said.

"A two thousand-ton ship will have to be transported several times before it can be transported. It is better to send two five thousand-ton ships to transport equipment at one time, and it will be transported in one time." Second Lieutenant Abe said.

"As I said, if someone asks you the same thing, you will say that disassembly and organize the equipment takes time, so you can only transport so much at a time." Qian Xiaobao said.

Lin Zhengjiang was also very busy during this period. He took Qian Xiaobao's great benefits so he ran very hard. After giving the middleman a big yellow croaker, Lin Zhengjiang finally met Mr. Kong, who had a huge influence in the national government.

Although Mr. Kong has now stepped down as Vice President of the Executive Yuan and Minister of Finance, his influence is still huge. Don’t look at what Mr. Kong has to do with the old man!

After serving twenty large yellow croakers, Lin Zhengjiang could finally go back with peace of mind and wait for news. More than ten days later, the Ministry of Economic Affairs finally agreed to sell the machinery and equipment of the Shanghai Fukawa Chisel Mill to Japan Takashima Textile Co., Ltd. for US$100,000.

Masahiro Okamoto made a list for President Takashima, which was filled with expenses required to dismantle the equipment.

"I need four tons of hemp rope and twenty thousand kilograms of hay?" Qian Xiaobao asked in surprise.

"In order to transport these machines and equipment back to Japan intact, you must use hay bags to carefully tie them out of some equipment with hemp ropes." Masahiro Okamoto replied.

Looking at the densely written lists, Qian Xiaobao didn't say anything for a long time.

Everything written here is money.

No matter what you do, it is very simple to think about, but when you really do it, you have a lot of things. Many things look small, but they are all indispensable.

Qian Xiaobao left 10,000 US dollars to Second Lieutenant Abe for contacting freight, and the Shanghai dismantling equipment to the dock to load ship can only use his own money. Strictly speaking, it was the money of Kobayashi Kaoru and Xiaohong.

After reading the list listed by Masahiro Okamoto, Qian Xiaobao found that his current money was far from enough.

But those big gold bars cannot be taken out now because there is no way to take action.

"Mr. Okamoto, prepare for dismantling 2,000 tons of equipment first. The Japanese telegram said that only one ship with a displacement of 2,000 tons could be found in a while. It is said that all large-tonnage ships were requisitioned by the Mi army, and even the 2,000 tons of equipment might not be able to be installed." Qian Xiaobao said.

"Hi!" Okamoto Masahiro nodded.

"You and the people you recruit must be kept aware of, and no screw can be missing!" Qian Xiaobao instructed.

While drinking tea with Lin Zhengjiang in the teahouse, Lin Zhengjiang smiled and said to Qian Xiaobao: "Brother, you are hiding so deeply. It turns out that you are the President Takashima!"

"Brother, how can I be qualified to be this president? These are some big men in Japan who heard that I have something to do here, and it is not convenient for them to show up, so I am the president of this puppet. They are the ones who really eat meat, and I just take a sip of soup!" Qian Xiaobao explained.

Lin Zhengjiang nodded suddenly: "I understand! I understand!"

He has seen too many such things in the national government, and Qian Xiaobao will fully understand it at one point.

"Oh, Japan has started construction again, and the government is still busy fighting a civil war. I really don't know when the war will end." Lin Zhengjiang sighed.

It seems that Lin Zhengjiang still has a trace of conscience, so he can say such words.

The ship that transported the equipment finally arrived at the Huangpu Wharf. The tied equipment was mainly a flower treading machine, and they were transported to the wharf to start loading.

Kobayashi Huon also rushed to the dock to watch with Xiaohong's company.

It was already January and the weather was cold, but the dock workers who loaded the ship were all shirtless and carrying wooden bars to the ship with equipment.

"This time you go back with me, look at how big your belly is?" Qian Xiaobao said to Xiaolin Xun.

It’s been more than eight months since Kobayashi Kaoru, and the baby should be born in more than one month.

But Kobayashi still shook her head firmly. If she returned to Japan this time, it would be impossible for her to come back for a while. It seems that Qian Xiaobao will have to travel between Japan and Shanghai for a long time.

Kobayashi Huon will never give Qian Xiaobao the opportunity to get along with Xiaohong alone.

"Don't worry, leave. I've gotten used to sleeping in the same bed with her over the past few months. If she leaves suddenly, I will not be able to sleep at night. What are you afraid of if I take care of her?" Xiaohong said.

This time Qian Xiaobao spent almost all the savings of the two women. Every drop of sweat from the dock workers made the sound of money.

After the cargo ship set sail, Qian Xiaobao immediately sent a telegram to Lieutenant Abe to ask him to go to Tokyo to wait for him, and he hurriedly boarded the passenger ship back to Tokyo the next day.

When Qian Xiaobao got off the boat and saw the Second Lieutenant Abe and Chief Cao Kawakami who were greeting him, the first thing he said was: "Have I arranged the matter?"

"I have called Count Komatsu and President Yasuda to inform them that the equipment has started to be transported. Count Komatsu has contacted the Sumitomo Consortium and Mitsui people. If you go to find them, you will meet you soon." Second Lieutenant Abe replied.

Qian Xiaobao looked at Kawakami Cao.

"I have contacted the reporter of Asahi Shimbun and the Daily News in private, but their asking price is very high, costing 500 US dollars!" Kawakami Sao Chang said.

Kawakami Sora is now the director of a police station in Shibuya, Tokyo. So Qian Xiaobao handed over this matter to him.

Qian Xiaobao turned around and asked Lieutenant Abe: "How much does it cost?"

"Not less than two thousand dollars." Second Lieutenant Abe replied.

"Give them!" Qian Xiaobao said.

Two days later, hundreds of words of news reports that Takashima Textile Co., Ltd. transported a large number of equipment from China to build a large textile enterprise in Osaka were reported in the Asahi Shimbun and the Daily News.

Qian Xiaobao held the newspaper and said to Second Lieutenant Abe: "Tomorrow we will go to Sumitomo to visit their president!"

"Actually, the people from Dongyang Textile have contacted me. If our equipment is shipped back, it is really the batch of Swiss equipment purchased by Fukuo Shining Mill in 4 years, they are willing to invest $1.2 million to acquire it." Second Lieutenant Abe said.

In other words, if Qian Xiaobao sells the equipment, he can immediately make a net profit of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
