"Wang Sang, we have a long-term friendship and are also the best friends. Please leave it to you!" Kimura Yasuo lowered his head vigorously as he spoke, all the arrogance in the past was restrained, and he was completely humble and respectful.
Seeing them like this, Zhang Tinglan felt a chill in his heart unconsciously. Not only him, but also Wang Yongjiang's eyes also had something called shock. They were arrogant at first and respectful at the other. These Japanese were completely different from each other.
In Kimura and Shimoda, they have seen the horror of the Yamato nation. This nation seems to have no sense of shame. As long as they want to achieve their goals, they can easily change their faces and use any means.
In the past, they were arrogant and condescending, and did not take Fengtian seriously at all. Of course, they did have this capital. After all, the Japanese have become one of the great powers. This is a recognized thing. But they have truly reached the point where they have demands.
When dealing with others, he can put down everything and be completely respectful and humble, just like the face-changing in Sichuan Opera.
The Japanese seem to have two faces. This is not a person, but a group of snakes! Poisonous snakes that can bite you at any time! When he smiles at you, he may have put a knife into your chest. For such a terrifying person,
Opponents must not be polite in any way.
Wang Yongjiang waved his hand gently and said with a smile: "Mr. Kimura, we are good business partners. If you have any questions, just tell us!"
Wang Yongjiang said that he was a business partner and rejected all Kimura's talk about friendship. We only talk about business, not friendship!
Kimura was not angry, but said calmly: "Wang Sang, Nissin and Santai need to purchase a batch of soybeans, and I hope Wang Sang can help."
"If you want to buy soybeans, go to the trading center. Zhuo Yan is also here. If you have any requirements, you can talk directly!" Wang Yongjiang continued to act stupid.
Kimura had no choice but to puncture the window paper and said: "Nissin invested in a batch of Russian bonds. Now there is a situation in Russia, and Nissin is also somewhat short of funds. We want to get a batch of soybeans first and then pay.
"
Wang Yongjiang glanced at Zhang Tinglan, which meant that it was your turn to step forward. Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Mr. Kimura, Russia is not in a small situation now, but the majority party has launched a revolution. I believe you also know some of the political ideas of the majority party.
Once they take control of Russia, let alone bonds. Even factory loans from various countries will not be recognized by them. With all due respect, the bonds in your hands are just a pile of waste paper!"
"Mr. Zhang, the majority party is just a group of thugs. They will not succeed. I can tell you that the great powers, including the imperial government, are already preparing to take intervention measures against Russia. The rebellion of the majority party is only temporary and will definitely happen.
Completely suppressed."
"Mr. Kimura, what you said may make sense, but it is completely different from my judgment. My request is still the same. If you want to buy soybeans, you have only two options, either with cash or with your company's stocks.
Apart from these two things, I don’t accept anything else.”
At this time, Shimoda Yi on the side suddenly spoke: "Zhang Sang, buy the soybeans on credit to us. The price is negotiable. We can increase it by a dime per load. In addition, we can also provide you with some business dividends. You will definitely not suffer any loss."
Zhang Tinglan smiled and shook his head: "You two, don't waste your time. If I were a businessman, I might accept your suggestion, but don't forget that we are government officials. We buy and sell soybeans not for
We are making money to protect the interests of the people in the three northeastern provinces. The funds for the acquisition are the hard work of taxpayers. No one can joke with this money. I am very sorry, and we absolutely cannot take risks with you."
Zhang Tinglan's words were so righteous that they silenced all their words. Kimura and Shimoda's expressions became even more ugly, but there was nothing they could do. Who could ask for help now?
Kimura thought for a while and then said: "Zhang Sang, we can give up 20% of the shares to mortgage 200 million kilograms of soybeans. What do you think?"
"Mr. Kimura, 200 million kilograms of soybeans is two million quintals, and requires eight million in capital. If you get 20% of the shares, it would be fine before this crisis. But now that the crisis has occurred, you
The stock price has also shrunk severely. It is said that the market price has dropped by two-thirds, and it will soon develop in the direction of garbage. I think you have to give up at least 60% of the shares before we can help you.
Survive the crisis, otherwise it will never work!"
Zhang Tinglan offered his price. After hearing this, Kimura and Shimoda stared at Zhang Tinglan as if they were looking at a monster. This guy is simply a devil who eats people without spitting out their bones. How can he ask for 60% with just one mouthful? If
If you agree, doesn't it mean that the oil pressing factory has changed its owner? This is simply unreasonable!
Kimura shook his head like a rattle: "This is absolutely not possible. The oil pressing plant is related to the interests of the imperial government. It will never be handed over to you, so don't have wishful thinking."
"Since the oil mill is so important, I believe the Japanese government will do its best to rescue you. I'm waiting for your good news."
After Zhang Tinglan finished speaking, he picked up the tea cup and tasted it by himself, assuming a posture of seeing off guests. Kimura and Shimoda wanted to say more, but they didn't want to listen at all. They also
I had to get up and say goodbye.
"I have to say, you are so ruthless. You are like a lion. You want 60% of the shares in one go. According to the character of the Japanese, they will never agree."
"Mr. Minyuan, believe it or not, Americans charge higher prices than us. They are the real masters!"
What Zhang Tinglan said was absolutely correct. After Kimura and Shimoda left the provincial government, they found Consul General Akajiri Masasuke, hoping that he could help find a way to overcome the current difficulties.
But at this time, the American businessmen who had negotiated for the purchase of soybean oil came to visit. Compared to Zhang Tinglan, the Americans were more direct and arrogant. They directly asked Kimura about the bond and asked them to explain whether they were still able to complete it.
contract.
According to the original agreement, Japan's two major oil mills must provide 30 million kilograms of soybean oil to the Americans. If the contract cannot be completed on time, the Japanese will pay 40% of the Americans' liquidated damages, totaling 6 million.
Yuan, no doubt. This is also an astronomical figure.
Normally Nissin and Santai can afford it, but now they really don't have the ability. Russian bonds have already caused them heavy losses. If they pay so much liquidated damages to the Americans, the two oil mills will have no choice but to close down.
.
If faced with the Chinese, Japan would still dare to cheat, but if faced with the Americans, they would not dare to be so arrogant if given a hundred courages. The Americans hold in their hands the oil and other resources that Japan needs. Moreover, they also have Japanese raw silk, etc.
If the United States, the most important consumer market for agricultural products, is offended, Japan's economy will be difficult to maintain.
The Japanese could only assure the United States over and over again that they would be able to complete the mission on time. However, the Americans scorned this.
"The capital chain of Nissin and Santai has been broken. According to our estimation, if you cannot get financial assistance, you will have no way to fulfill the contract. Here I give you two choices. Either find a way to collect liquidated damages. Or
Give 80% of the shares of the oil pressing plant to the United States, and we will cooperate with each other and the United States will provide sufficient funds to ensure that you can continue to operate!"
The Americans finally said arrogantly: "I only give you ten days. If you can't do it, you just wait for sanctions!"
Kimura and Shimoda's hearts were filled with bitterness at this time. Upstream, Fengtian was restraining them, and downstream, the Americans were also plotting against them. They were attacking from both ends. This was the real danger.
After seeing off the American representatives, Kimura immediately said to Masasuke Akajiri: "Mr. Consul General, please help us find a solution as soon as possible. We are in urgent need of funds for maintenance, and the imperial government will provide help. Isn't that right?"
Kimura looked at Akajiri Shosuke with hope, but this consul general was also one of the top two. It was not just Nissin and Santai that were affected by the disaster. The Bank of Korea and Shokin Bank were also facing runs, and Manchuria Railway also suffered losses.
All the most important Japanese companies in Fengtian were involved. There were too many people falling into the water, and the lifebuoys in hand were limited. It was not up to Akajiri Shosuke to decide who should be saved and who should not be saved.
Seeing that Akajiri was in trouble, Shimoda Yoshi's eyes were already red: "Mr. Consul General, the Americans are very tough. We can only find a breakthrough from Fengtian, or get enough money to buy soybeans, or the Empire
The government used force to make the Chinese people surrender and honestly bought soybeans for us on credit. If it cannot do these two things, in ten days, the oil extraction industry that the empire has controlled for more than ten years will completely collapse."
The Japanese were in unprecedented trouble and were racking their brains to think of a solution. At this time, an American ocean-going freighter was sailing towards Huludao in the wind and waves.
The freighter carried a large number of machines and more than thirty returnees from overseas. After two years of studying in the United States, Bayuzao finally returned to China.
This journey was not easy. Although Zhang Tinglan gave Bayuzao a large amount of funding, Bayuzao did not dare to spend a penny of this huge sum of money. He knew very well that Zhang Tinglan did not hesitate to spend a lot of money, but in fact he regarded him as a
In order to achieve the hope of manufacturing aircraft and developing the air force, and Bayama also has this ambition, he must make good use of every penny to recruit the few Chinese talents in American society, and at the same time try to purchase some key technical equipment. According to Bayama's plan
The plan is that as soon as he returns to China, he will build the Chinese's own aircraft as soon as possible.
It was not smooth at first. We did find some talents studying in the United States, but most of these people were from the south. They were more willing to join the Democratic Party after graduation. They had no impression of the distant Fengtian. Moreover, among American society,
In China, Chinese people are discriminated against. Even though Bayama is a top talent favored by American aircraft companies, he is still subject to many restrictions when he wants to purchase what he needs.
Just when Bayuzao was extremely anxious, a turning point finally appeared. Fengjun defeated the Russians and took back control of the Middle East Road. This is a big event in Chinese society, and it is also a big deal among overseas Chinese.
A major event, finally an army dared to challenge the great powers and won a victory. This made those students studying abroad finally begin to take Fengjun seriously.
In addition, because Zhang Tinglan and Kerry reached an agreement to jointly build an oil pressing plant, the Cleveland consortium was willing to provide some help. In addition, Zhang Tinglan took over Kang Youwei's overseas network. These three favorable conditions were added together, and suddenly
Let Bayuzao's work go much smoother.
A large number of international students agreed to develop in Fengtian, and some machines that could not be purchased originally could be purchased. Bayuzao was very excited. He teamed up with several partners to build a brand new aircraft, and its performance was no better than that of the mainstream aircraft in the world today.
Poor fighter.
They also built ten aircraft in a row and purchased fifty more engines in the United States. For this purpose, Zhang Tinglan specially arranged a cargo ship of more than 3,000 tons to carry these students and aircraft equipment back to China.
From a distance, Bayuzao saw a large number of people gathered above the port, including many soldiers. He and his other companions instantly had red eyes.
