Chapter 311 Cutting meat and raising tigers to block the way
The gate of Ma Bufang's camp was closed, and the sound of wind and sand calling and the sound of hilarious banquets were all blocked. Only Ma Bufang and Zhang Haiming were silently facing each other. Zhang Haiming, who was sitting opposite Ma Bufang, was a little nervous. It was the first time that Zhang Haiming, who was used to interacting with merchants, had dealt with a soldier like Ma Bufang, who was full of silence and murder. He couldn't help but feel a little unsure. His hands, which were on his thighs, were filled with nervous sweats.
After tilting his head and looking at Zhang Haiming for a long time, Ma Bufang finally stopped the nervous and even like a judgment movement of his fingers hitting the table. He sat upright and looked at Zhang Haiming, and whispered in a serious state: "Don't Mr. Zhang want to discuss sales issues with my teacher? Since that's the case, don't waste my teacher's time."
Zhang Haiming swallowed, moistening his throat, which was dry due to tension, and before he could speak, he smiled and said, "Master Ma is precious for time. Since that's the case, I'll just say it."
Regarding the sales of Yumen Oilfield, Yang Wei originally ordered several domestic factories, which was strongly supported by Sun Jianchu and others. In their opinion, the smooth mining of Yumen Oilfield indicates the country's strength. Because with its own oilfield, it can ensure that the oil demand for factory development will no longer be filled with the insatiable pockets of the great powers at high prices, so that the country will no longer be restricted in the development of many industries.
However, the premise of achieving this is that oil prices must be lower than the imported oil price. To put it bluntly, it supports domestic factory oil consumption in terms of price and reserves. If you want to make a profit from it, you will naturally lose your original purpose. Quenching the Blood Mountains 311
After hearing this decision, Zhang Haiming immediately panicked. If there was no profit, wouldn’t it be all in vain for the rest of his time here? This was obviously contrary to Zhang Haiming’s original purpose.
However, after a period of observation, Zhang Haiming found that not only Sun Jianchu and others had this idea, but even Yang Wei agreed to support the construction of domestic factories by lowering oil prices. After confirming that there was no breakthrough from Yang Wei, Zhang Haiming immediately changed direction and started from Ma Bufang.
Through getting along for a while, Zhang Haiming found that the word "money" that Ma Bufang often talks about. Although this person is indeed an investor in the Yumen Oilfield development project, the person who talks about money every day must attach great importance to money. It can be said that Ma Bufang is the only person in the Yumen Oilfield mining work that can be impressed with money.
After calming down and rectifying his ideas, Zhang Haiming curled his smile and told Ma Bufang all the plans of Yang Wei. Then he said with a bitter face: "Captain Yang is probably being fed by the Sun Jianchu and the others. Supporting national construction sounds very impressive, but you can't support it empty-handedly? They are only responsible for scientific research and surveys, and they don't spend money on their brains. Of course, they don't have to speak when they stand, but who has considered it for Commander Ma!"
As early as when Zhang Haiming said that Yang Wei planned to use Yumen Petroleum to support the construction of domestic factories, Ma Bufang immediately felt a little confused. He was an investor, and Yang Wei had never discussed this kind of thing with him and planned to make a decision. After all, Ma Bufang did not have the lofty ambitions like Yang Wei. Supporting the construction of national factories can be said to be inseparable from him. Secondly, Ma Bufang had another small calculation in his heart.
What does it mean to support the construction of a national factory? For Yang Wei, Sun Jianchu and others, it may mean lofty and ambitious goals such as the country's prosperity and strength, but for Ma Bufang, the country's prosperity and strength mean that his position as the king of the Northwest is unstable.
From Chiang Kai-shek's defeat of the vassals, Ma Bufang could see his future destiny. Now he was just relying on the high mountains and far away emperors, so he could act so recklessly. But if the Central Plains became stronger, he would sooner or later, just like Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan and others, sooner or later, face the gun that he had polished for him with his own hands.
On the other hand, the reason why Ma Bufang was willing to develop the Yumen Oilfield with Yang Wei was because he was attracted by Yang Wei's invincible armored division. If the domestic industrial industry was really developed as Yang Wei wanted, wouldn't the armored division become an ordinary thing? This move is like cutting flesh and raising a tiger and raising a tiger.
Thinking of this, Ma Bufang frowned and his face became gloomy immediately. Providing oil to domestic factories at a low price is not only a problem that hinders his own money, but also a matter of his future destiny, which makes Ma Bufang feel heavy.
Zhang Haiming looked at Ma Bufang's ugly face, but he was happy in his heart. He immediately followed the flow and said, "Zhang has an excellent sales path here. Not to mention the mountains of gold and silver, at least it can make Commander Ma make a fortune, and..."
Having said this, Zhang Haiming showed a meaningful smile, squinted his eyes to Ma Bufang's curious gaze, and whispered mysteriously: "It can still be beneficial for Master Ma to earn money that cannot be exchanged for."
Looking at Zhang Haiming's mysterious and serious expression, Ma Bufang felt his blood vessels squirting out. He looked at Zhang Haiming in confusion, and frowned anxiously and said, "What is the method? Don't keep it in hiding again!"
Zhang Haiming waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, Commander Ma, please listen to me and tell me in detail."
After saying that, Zhang Haiming told Ma Bufang about his affairs in Shanghai. Since returning from studying abroad, Zhang Haiming has been hiding in the business district of Shanghai. People who are interested in interests can naturally recognize friends who can provide benefits for themselves. This is like the laws of nature, and has remained unchanged in the dark. Zhang Haiming also benefited from his own characteristics of admiring foreign countries and pursuing fame and profit, and met many foreign businessmen in a rich and wealth-loving place in Shanghai.
It is simple for Zhang Haiming to sell some oil to his "affeial" friends.
Zhang Haiming patiently explained to Ma Bufang, who knows nothing about doing business, "Teacher Ma, the businessmen and friends in China have a certain amount of oil demand in various industries, but the oil they use is basically coming across the ocean, but now there is enough oil they use in China, so who would have to work hard to go far?"
Ma Bufang followed Zhang Haiming slowly and nodded. It seemed that this was true. However, Ma Bufang wondered: "If their own country had oil exports, why should we use our oil?"
Hearing this, Zhang Haiming immediately rubbed his fingers and whispered: "Of course it's because of the money. If we provide them with oil, the price is naturally cheap for them to purchase oil, but it is definitely higher than the sale price of Chief Yang. Simply put, what we want to make is the freight price of their purchase of oil from abroad. As long as it is kept in the middle of this price, it is naturally a mutually beneficial and good deal."
Freight? Although Ma Bufang is not sure what the price of imported and exported oil is, the freight costs for crossing the ocean are absolutely indispensable. Even if it is a pedantic elm head like Ma Bufang, it can be figured out, and it will definitely be a big sum. Quenching the Blood Mountains and Rivers 311
Looking at Zhang Haiming who was despised in front of him, Ma Bufang suddenly felt that he had picked up a good baby. He immediately couldn't stop laughing, patted Zhang Haiming on the shoulder and said, "Yes, Mr. Zhang has made great contributions and will definitely be rewarded with you."
