Chapter 145: Just a kerosene business
Lin Ziran has been waiting for news from Sanyang Town, and he wants to wait for the news that they will divide the winners and losers.
However, in the evening of the same day, he received a report from the scouts, saying that the two warring sides in Sanyang Town had suspended their offensive, and both sides had begun to build defensive lines, and it seemed that they would not be able to tell the winner for a while.
Because the two sides fought too fiercely in the previous few days, both sides were already a little exhausted, and even ran out of ammunition, so that they couldn't fight even if they wanted to continue the fierce fighting.
What they do with each other is none of Lin Ziran's business, but they have been occupying Sanyang Town, causing their kerosene business to stagnate, which makes Lin Ziran unhappy.
Lao Tzu is tens of thousands of minutes in minutes, how can I have time to slowly rub shoulders with you!
Originally, I was expecting them to finish the battle as soon as possible, regardless of who won, as soon as the battle is over, they will leave, and then go to the county town or something, after all, the current situation in Luo'an County, the county town is the main battlefield, I heard that Jian Minggang personally led tens of thousands of troops in the area of the county town and fought with the descendants led by Cheng Lingfeng personally.
After thinking about it, Lin Ziran called Wu Guanlin in: "Pass the order, reorganize the army, tomorrow we will go to Sanyang Town, except for the necessary remaining troops, the others will go out with Lao Tzu!" ”
At this time, Luo Mazi said worriedly: "If we send troops now, will it cause trouble?" ”
Lin Ziran turned around, and then said, "Then tell me, where is the kerosene refined every day?" Are you running out of spare oil drums? Even Zhou Lidu, on behalf of Hongxiang Commercial Bank and Nanzhou Bank, wrote to me to make a decision as soon as possible, knowing that we have a cooperation agreement with them, and kerosene must not stop! ”
"Stopping for a day now is a loss of tens of thousands, and we can't afford this loss!"
"Lao Tzu doesn't care how they fight, but this kerosene business must be restored immediately!"
The kerosene business does not have to pass through the urban area of Sanyo Town, and it is completely possible to load kerosene in the small wharf of the kerosene warehouse in the suburbs.
The only trouble is that the warring sides have now blockaded the area, and ordinary people can't enter it.
So what Lin Ziran has to do is: "Lao Tzu will bring a large army over, come to an armed neutral, they will fight them, we will do our business, if anyone dares to make trouble, Lao Tzu will beat him." ”
It's okay if the kerosene business stops for a day or two, but it's more uncomfortable for four or five days, and if it takes ten days and a half a month, Tsingshan Petroleum Company will have to take the initiative to stop production.
Because they won't have enough drums to store the kerosene they can refine.
Moreover, stopping the kerosene business for a long time is also a huge blow to the kerosene sales channels that have been established with great difficulty, such as Nanzhou Bank and Hongxiang Commercial Bank, their sales channels are very large, and when there is kerosene sales, they naturally make money every day.
But without kerosene, these huge sales channels are losing countless amounts of money every day!
Zhou Li's pressure is also very high, otherwise he would not have sent a letter to Lin Ziran to find a way to restore the kerosene transportation channel.
What's more, now Lin Ziran's supplementary brigade is all supported by oil companies, once the income of the oil company is not good, Lin Ziran has no other way to support this army.
In the past, the main purpose of trying to seize Sanyo Town was to maintain the safety of the kerosene transportation channel.
If you bring a large army over, it is also to maintain the safety of the kerosene trade.
Wu Guanlin's actions were very fast, and early the next morning, he arranged for the troops to accompany Lin Ziran on the expedition.
This time, in order to demonstrate deterrence, let Jian Liangzhi and Cheng Hongbin fight honestly, and don't bother themselves to do business, Lin Ziran except for leaving a company and the third infantry battalion that has not yet recruited all the recruits to stay in the oil field area, and the other 1,800 troops were all taken away.
Before leaving, he sent people to Sanyang Town in advance and sent letters to Jian Liangzhi and Cheng Hongbin, saying that he sent troops just to escort the caravan, so that they don't think about it, you continue to fight, don't care about me.
In addition, the letter also hinted that you can't affect my business if you fight, if you want to fight and go to other places to fight, there are a lot of good places next door that can be used as battlefields, why do you have to get along with me Lin Ziran, toss in Sanyang Town, and if you continue to toss like this, don't blame me Lin Ziran for being polite.
After receiving Lin Ziran's letter, Jian Liangzhi almost couldn't believe that the content of the letter he saw was true.
In this letter, Lin Ziran said that he would escort the caravan with an army of 1,800.
Dispatch of 1,800 troops just to escort kerosene caravans?
He, Lin Ziran, is this joking with himself, right?
Also, although this letter did not say it explicitly, the meaning was very clear, that is, he and Cheng Hongbin had been fighting in Sanyang Town for many days, which had seriously affected his kerosene business, and he wanted to let himself and Cheng Hongbin finish the fight as soon as possible or get out of the way, otherwise he Lin Ziran would have to intervene directly.
"For the sake of the kerosene business, he Lin Ziran actually plans to meddle in the battle between me and Cheng Hongbin?"
"Is he joking with me?"
"It's just a kerosene business, even if you make money, you can make a few bucks, is it worth it?"
I spent a lot of money trying to win over this Lin Ziran before, but Lin Ziran didn't react at all, and a few days ago he said that he would run, and there was no room left.
But now, he's ready to meddle in the kerosene business?
At this time, Yan Qiyue, the town guard of Sanyang Town, who was called over by him on the side, heard Jian Liangzhi's words, his face changed slightly, and he secretly mocked in his heart: Ignorant child, do you know how much money you have to lose if the kerosene business stops for a day, at least tens of thousands, and this is only a direct loss, and there are indirect losses.
Hongxiang Commercial Bank, Nanzhou Bank and dozens of channel providers, the big guys are losing money every day, a lot of money!
However, although he ridiculed and despised him, Yan Qiyue was not from the Jian family, he was not even an official person, his real backer was Hongxiang Commercial Bank, and being the town guard was just to escort the kerosene business.
The reason why he appeared here was purely because of Jian Liangzhi's invitation, and then he was given a face.
So he didn't hear it!
And his partner, or colleague Zhou Li, was also sitting in Cheng Hongbin's military tent at this time.
Cheng Hongbin naturally knew that Zhou Li was an ordnance merchant on the surface, but in fact he had great energy, not to mention Hongxiang Commercial Bank, but also Nanzhou Bank.
And Cheng Hongbin also knew that Zhou Li and Lin Ziran had been friends for a long time, and had a deep cooperation with Lin Ziran in the kerosene business, so after receiving Lin Ziran's letter, which was a little out of tune and only talked about business, Cheng Hongbin invited Zhou Li over.
Like Jian Liangzhi, he couldn't understand why Lin Ziran was talking about business with all the fanfare, and he thought there was a conspiracy here.
But I'm not sure.
That's why I invited Zhou Li over, asked Zhou Li's opinion, and saw what Lin Ziran wanted to do.
Zhou Li took the letter and looked at it slightly, then put it down, looking unfazed.
