When he received a call from his subordinate, Shen Wenkang, director of the Customs Department, Shi Zhiyi was looking through the records of the Symposium on Japanese anti-dumping organized by the China Federation of manufacturers some time ago by the industrial and commercial administration.


    At this time, the meeting minutes on his desk are carefully divided into several categories, no impact, slight impact, serious impact and no impact.


    Hardware industry, enamel industry, stationery industry, glass industry, thread roller industry, cloth dyeing industry and mosquito repellent incense industry were classified into the industry Symposium reports seriously affected by Japanese goods dumping. At this time, he carefully read each of them and marked them on some key data.


    As an overseas colonial official, Shi Zhiyi has a very accurate understanding and positioning of himself. In this regard, he is much better than many older British colonial officials. Many older British colonial officials often become slack because they are far away from the British mainland and can''t get promoted. However, Shi Zhiyi always takes a certain position and begins to take this new job seriously.


    For example, as the deputy director and temporary director of the administration of industry and commerce, he must have a detailed understanding of the current environment and situation of Hong Kong''s industry and commerce, and point out the direction for future development.


    The United States is not necessarily trying to contain Hong Kong by supporting Japan to engage in large-scale global free dumping. After sorting out these trivial data in front of him, Shi Zhiyi put down his pen and thought of it with a headache.


    At present, the stationery industry and hardware industry are the most severely subject to Japanese dumping in Hong Kong. Taking several pencil factories in Hong Kong as an example, last year, they produced more than 400000 cases of pencils and exported 320000 cases. The rest were sold in the local market in Hong Kong. The main sales places were London, British territory and the Middle East, with a total sales of 200000 cases, Australia and Africa, In Europe, India, Indonesia, Egypt and other sub regions, 120000 cases were sold. However, this year, Japanese goods dumping, which quickly recovered with the support of the United States and stood out in Asia, has had a huge impact on the industry and Commerce of Hong Kong, the British Far East colony. This year, the stationery industry in Hong Kong, except London, other British colonies and the Middle East, is still maintaining its original sales volume, Australia and Africa, The sales places of Hong Kong''s stationery industry, such as Europe, India, Indonesia and Egypt, have been invaded by Japanese goods, and the CIF price is even lower than the ex factory price in Hong Kong, which easily pushed Hong Kong stationery out of these areas. However, Hong Kong does not have enough strength to fight a price war with Japan, because the rising price of raw materials of Hong Kong stationery has no basis to fight a price war with Japanese goods and seize the market.


    The figure given by the stationery industry is that the external sales volume of Hong Kong''s stationery industry this year is probably less than half that of last year.


    This is only the most obvious case. With the promulgation of the embargo, there are no quick cases of crisis, but many other industries, such as battery industry, cable industry, etc., the biggest reason why these industries can suppress Japanese and American products in Southeast Asia is that raw materials are supplied from Chinese mainland, but now the embargo order is promulgated. The price of raw materials means that it will rise rapidly. If the price of high-quality and cheap Hong Kong goods is raised, can they compete with American goods and Japanese goods for the Southeast Asian market?


    Damn embargo! Damn Yankee! Damn Japanese!


    Shi Zhiyi breathed out depressed and scolded in his heart.


    Just then, Shen Wenkang, the director of the Customs Department, called. After Shi Zhiyi got through, Shen Wenkang''s voice with some doubts came over the phone:


    "Mr. deputy director, as you said before, let me cooperate with their Likang company, which is carrying away the seized drugs in the customs warehouse with great fanfare, and also transporting new drugs to it at the same time. In short, they should be doing the thing of shoddy goods as good ones."


    "How much are they going to transport?" Shi Zhiyi was stunned and asked.


    In fact, just when he arrived at the office in the morning, he received a phone call from the Hong Kong Governor''s office informing him that the British troops assisting the customs in guarding the warehouse have been ordered to evacuate. The Hong Kong Governor and the chief secretary''s office hope to see that the industrial and commercial administration and the Customs Department can quickly and seriously complete the investigation on the drug problem in Hong Kong in the next two days.


    Fast and serious, Shi Zhiyi certainly understood the meaning behind these two words. The Hong Kong governor should have been bought and settled by the Zhang family, so he needs to look at the bribes and ask the customs to complete the investigation as soon as possible and return the drugs to various companies, but at the same time, it should be completed seriously, that is, something must be found out, You can''t make a big investigation and get nothing.


    "According to the Secretary''s performance, he shouldn''t be so stupid." Shi Zhiyi held the telephone receiver and muttered to himself thinking about the performance of song TIANYAO and Likang.


    Shen Wenkang on the phone didn''t hear clearly: "what did you just say?"


    "Nothing. Let them do it. They have two days. If they can''t decide about it, they carry away the seized goods in the customs warehouse without permission, which is the best target for customs investigation and handling." Shi Zhiyi said to Shen Wenkang: "You just need to keep the list of drugs in the customs warehouse. If Likang trading company can''t give a reasonable explanation at that time, how they move out, how they move back, and also bear all the responsibility for the whole thing. Let the customs officers and marine police keep an eye on the whereabouts of those drugs. It''s no problem for Likang to move those drugs to their own warehouse, but They are not allowed to transport the drugs before the dust of the whole matter is settled. If they have the move of loading drugs on the ship, and Shi Zhiyi continues to look through the information at hand without fluctuation after hanging up the phone. He has given song TIANYAO an opportunity. As a person in charge of Hong Kong industry and commerce, it is very rare for him to give a company a chance. This is because Secretary song helped his wife On the basis of his reputation, song TIANYAO is not interested in a Likang trading company. If the other party can''t grasp this opportunity or make a fool of himself, song TIANYAO should not blame him when he finally cleans up the situation and raises his knife to cut at Likang. He can only blame his weak ability.


    "In fact, the secretary is still very young, and it''s normal to have some deficiencies in ability." when opening the report in his hand, Shi Zhiyi remembered the young figure who talked with song TIANYAO in St. John''s Cathedral, and sighed:


    "I''m afraid Mr. governor is the happiest person. He has enjoyed a rich meal before the whole thing is over."
