Chapter 112: Wall's Entanglement
Han Xing greeted him warmly: "Dear Mr. Wall, hello! Someone you off. With that, he warmly invited Wall to sit down on the throne, and made him a new cup of fine jasmine tea.
Wall said, "You're the one who makes me angry?" β
"Why!" Han Xing looked puzzled.
"Say, are we friends?"
"Friends, of course."
"You say, are the parts I produced good, you say, I kept it a secret for you."
"Of course, the parts you produce are of good quality, and you do a good job of secrecy."
"That's strange," Wall still looked dissatisfied, "Penicillin is such a good thing, why don't you sue me, I want to be your global distributor, you are enough friends, and you are worthy of my contribution to you." β
Only then did Han Xing understand that it was for the sake of penicillin, and Wall was here to advance and retreat to grab the penicillin business. He wanted to be beautiful, and wanted to monopolize the entire foreign trade of penicillin in order to extract the maximum profit. Guessing Wall's thoughts, Han Xing's heart was not in a hurry, but said unhurriedly: "It turned out to be a small matter of penicillin, this matter needs to be discussed by the entire board of directors, and it also needs a formal bidding, and I can't be the family alone." β
Originally, Wall also wanted to open a breakthrough from Hanhang to grab the foreign sales agency of penicillin, but this time, he couldn't grab it, so he had to say: "There is a saying in China that the building near the water gets the moon first, you say, am I your building near the water?" β
Gong Ren said enthusiastically: "Of course, Mr. Wall is a good friend of mine, a good friend of the Eighth Route Army, and a good friend of the entire anti-Japanese army and people, and we will not forget you." β
Unexpectedly, Wall didn't eat Wal's compliments at all, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "I'm a businessman, it's better to have some benefits, two good words want to fool me, the mosquito nets on the army - no way!" β
Unexpectedly, Wall is still a China expert.
Han Xing thought for a while and said, "Let's have something affordable, do you understand the oil exploration equipment, do you understand the oil refinement?" β
Who is Wall, his expression paused slightly, paused for two seconds, and his eyes suddenly brightened: "Director Han, did you say that you found oil?" β
Han Xing sold a pass, waved his hand and said: "I can't talk about discovering oil, let's just talk about oil exploration equipment and oil refining first, I don't know if you are interested." β
The cunning Wall smiled: "In Chinese words, there is no three-point profit, and you can't afford to pay the big five, according to your words, you must have found oil." Iron and steel, military industry, and oil are huge strategic resources in war, and whoever masters these resources will have the initiative in the war. According to the information I have so far, your country has not yet discovered industrial oil and natural gas that can be exploited, and even if there is, the refining of oil must also have very advanced technology, which cannot be solved by your country. Only country U and a small number of countries have the technology and equipment to explore and refine oil. β
Han Xing thought to himself, you are too domineering, how to deal with you and me, so Han Xing said: "Let me tell you a little news, the oil exploration and petrochemical technology of country XX is not worse than yours, once there is oil, we will cooperate with country XX to jointly develop oil resources." β
When Wall heard this, he was anxious, and said with a red face: "Don't forget that we are old friends, is this how you treat old friends?" β
What Han Xing wanted was his vinegary feeling, and he quickly left him a step, saying: "We Chinese are the most friends, how can we never forget your old friend!" If the oil industry is to be established on China's soil, it will be in the form of a joint-stock system, and if you represent a foreign party, how many shares will you have? β
Wall was still thinking about the competition with country XX, and he didn't dare to be too arrogant at this time, so he had to say: "We are all old friends, since we are old friends, you can just watch it, right?" β
Han Xing thought for a while and said, "We are from China, and you are from China, and you will have 30% of the shares, right?" β
Wall thought for a while and said: "According to what you say, we only account for 30% of the shares when we contribute technology, capital, and equipment, which is too much of a loss!" β
"But don't forget, China is at war, and it requires a lot of oil consumption, and it can be said that the supply of products exceeds demand, which is much more convenient and direct than transporting it from a foreign country to sell it here. You're so smart, you can't settle this account! β
Besides, oil is so precious, as long as you get it in your hands first, you will have the initiative in strategic resources, and you will also have the right to speak in competition with third countries. Thinking of this, Wall agreed in his heart, but he had to say inch by inch: "At least we have to ask for 40% of the shares." β
Han Xing said: "This is just a verbal agreement we reached, it doesn't count, and specific matters have to be approved by the higher authorities and formal writing." β
Putting this matter aside, Wall was still worried about penicillin, and said: "The oil matter is still far away, don't you make a noise, I'll talk to you about penicillin, can you let me be a global agent." As a global agent, I will definitely earn you a lot of money. β
Han Xing thought to himself, if you want to be a global agent, then all the money will make you earn, what else will we earn? But Han Xing still had a smile on his face, and said with a pleasant face: "As for who to let be the global sales representative, we still have to discuss, but if you are asked to be the sales plenipotentiary representative of country U, how many of our medicines can you sell." β
Wall looked arrogant: "We have a mature sales network, a sound system, excellent sales personnel, your penicillin, I can sell all 70% of it." β
Han Xing also said politely: "Smart Mr. Wall, don't forget that there are wars and diseases everywhere now, and if I want to be the general sales agent, 100% of the penicillin will not be enough to sell if I get it." β
As soon as Wall heard this, Han Xing was not a layman, his neck twisted, his eyes rolled, and he stopped talking.
Han Xing found Fan Zhuxian and discussed this matter with Zhang Weihan, but unexpectedly, the two of them shook their heads for a while.
Zhang Weihan said: "You are betraying China's sovereignty, planes, tanks, and automobiles all need oil, and you don't know the importance of oil, so you gave 30% of the shares of oil to the U countryman, who gave you the power." β
Fan Zhuxian also shook his head vigorously and said: "Don't feel distressed when you sell Yetian, this is a treasure left by the ancestors, and you can't take it lightly and cheapen foreigners." Besides, I can't be a family member for such a big matter, so I have to report it to the central government. I think, I'm afraid that neither Chongqing nor Yan'an will agree. β
Han Xing insisted on his opinion and said: "It is precisely because it is a war period, so we must pay close attention to the exploration and extraction of oil to support the war, but do we in China have such technology at present? Another important reason is that we are a belligerent country with Japan, and after the news of Puxian has oil, Japan will soon occupy Puxian, and the oil will become Japanese. If Sino-foreign joint ventures are developed, will the Japanese still dare to occupy the Puxian oil fields, then it will cause contradictions between the two countries and drag the U country into the war. β
Zhang Weihan thought for a while and said, "If you say that, it's a different matter. β
Fan Zhuxian thought about it and said: "If the Japanese occupy the Puxian oil field, it will cause a war with country U, which is also a kind of wisdom." β
Han Xing added: "Why do we have to take 70% of the shares, this is also to firmly grasp China's sovereignty." If this Wall lion opens his mouth, then we refuse joint development, that is, rot oil in the ground, and that is also our Chinese. β
Zhang Weihan and Fan Zhuxian listened to Han Xing's words, nodded their heads, and expressed their approval.
Han Xing said: "Whether or not to give penicillin to the Japanese is also an art!" β
At this moment, suddenly there was a rumbling explosion from the side of Wanggezhuang in the arsenal, and soon, a cloud of fire and black smoke rose in the direction of Wanggezhuang, the tongue of fire was shining, the black smoke was churning, and there were faint voices of people shouting and the sound of houses collapsing, as well as the sound of low-altitude shooting of planes and the explosion of giant bombs.
This was followed by the sound of heavy machine guns and light machine guns on the ground......
"It's an air raid, this hateful little Japan--" Zhang Weihan was the first to judge that it was the Japanese planes that were coming to make trouble again, and hurriedly ran out of the house, looking up in the direction of Wang Gezhuang.
Fan Zhuxian and Han Xing also ran out after him, and saw that two Japanese planes were hovering at a low altitude, dropping bombs, and strafing, but under the blow of heavy machine gun fire on the ground, they did not dare to stay for long, and blindly finished throwing bombs, and flew to the north.
In the direction of Wanggezhuang, there was already a sea of fire, and the thick black smoke in the sea of fire was tumbling upward, noisy, expanding, and expanding bigger and bigger, polluting the blue sky. The soldiers, government personnel, workers, and local people on the ground all went into battle, some carrying buckets, some carrying burdens, as long as they could catch their breath, all of them put out the fire.
When Fan Zhuxian, Zhang Weihan, and Han Xing arrived there, they found that the scene had been full of casualties, and the scene was full of casualties, the arsenal had almost been completely blown up, half of the houses had collapsed, and there were a row of sacrificed workers lying on the ground, more than 20 of them, and the injured had been sent to the hospital for rescue.
The equipment car, milling, planing, grinding, and drilling that were finally put together in the workshop were almost all damaged......
While fighting the fire, some soldiers scolded: "*** grandma, little Japan-" "Little Japan, you have the ability to come down and fight!" What a skill in the sky! "When I see you, I can't skin you alive."
Zhang Weihan's face was solemn, and Fan Zhu didn't say a word at first. At this time, Wang Bingqi, the director of the arsenal, and some workers from the arsenal came over and surrounded Commissioner Fan and Zhang Weihan.
Wang Weapons reported: "The situation is very strict, the machining workshop was blown up, 24 people were killed and 46 people were injured in our arsenal, most of them were technical backbones, fortunately the assembly workshop has not been blown up, and some outsourcing parts are well hidden and have not been blown up." Fortunately, the guards had heavy machine guns, so that the Japanese planes did not dare to be too presumptuous. Why did the Japanese planes bomb so accurately, I suspect that there are traitors......"
Zhang Weihan said: "Yes, the traitor is so hateful, he informed the Japanese of the accurate address. We'll figure this out. β
Fan Zhuxian said to the king of weapons: "I hope you will do your best to restore the production of the fΓΉ arsenal as soon as possible." β
Wang Bingqi nodded and said: "All the personnel of our arsenal must work a hundred times harder, and the best way to avenge the sacrifice of the workers is to restore the production of the fΓΉ arsenal as soon as possible." Then Wang Bing turned his head and pointed at the workers and shouted, "Everyone, don't you say? β
The workers shouted, "Yes! "Resolutely avenge the dead workers!" "We will resume production as much as possible, and we must not let the little devil's conspiracy succeed."
Han Xing said to Fan Zhuxing and Zhang Weihan: "I'm afraid they also know the address of the pharmaceutical factory, do you know why they don't have an explosives factory?" β
Fan Zhuxian and Zhang Weihan looked into Han Xing's eyes together, seeing what Han Xing said?
Han Xing said: "This is called the sharing of interests. β
Wang Bingqi asked: "What is the meaning of sharing interests?" β
Han Xing didn't explain, guarding Wang Bing, and some words were not good to say to him too carefully, but he just said to Fan Zhuxian and Zhang Weihan: "Commissioner Fan and Director Zhang know. β
Fan Zhuxian and Zhang Weihan have already understood from Han Xing's words that because the Japanese also want to share a piece of the pie from the big cake of the pharmaceutical factory, and also share the fruits of scientific victory, will they blow up the pharmaceutical factory lightly? If they insist on not selling them a little penicillin, the dogs will jump over the wall, and maybe they will do something stupid like a pig and a dog.
The three of them stood on the spot and continued to meet in a meeting, discussing these decisions, discussing the sale of penicillin to the Japanese, and for humanitarian reasons, giving him 10% of the agency, and Wall, 25% of the agency.
In order to deal with the Japanese spies, the three of them discussed again and decided to set up an intelligence agency in the six districts, merge the intelligence team of the Industrial Bureau with the intelligence agency, and tentatively name it "Fox." Before there was a suitable leader to choose from, Zhang Weihan would be the captain and Pan Xiao'an would be the acting captain. In order to defend important organs and deal with the Japanese special forces, it was decided to "Tiger Roar" special forces, and Han Xing recommended a general, that is, Yin Zhaoli, the commander of the first battalion and one company of the 32nd detachment.
On the issue of dealing with the Puxian oilfield, it was decided to temporarily set a contract with Wall in the name of the Sixth District of Shandong, with 30% of the shares of the Sixth District of Walr accounting for 70% of the shares, and the U national Huaer immediately started to explore, and not to report to Chongqing and Yan'an for the time being.
In fact, at this point, the three of them reached a tacit understanding, if this matter is reported to Chongqing, with Jiang as a person, will he look at this big golden doll and let the six districts monopolize it? That doesn't necessarily mean how much trouble there is. If it is reported to Yan'an, it is not easy to do, and you can't throw this hot potato to the leader, isn't this a problem for the leader? Just tell the leader, don't make a formal report yet.
At this time, Chairman Chiang of Chongqing came to order, and now the national army is concentrating more than 1.1 million main forces, with Wuhan as the center, from the Dabie Mountains in Hubei in the north to Poyang Lake in Jiangxi in the south, and the main force of the Japanese army of more than 300,000 to launch the battle to defend Wuhan, and order the armed forces of Shandong Province to quickly support the Wuhan General Battle.
Yan'an also came with instructions, asking the party armed forces to cooperate with Fan Zhuxian to support this all-China military and civilian battle.
At this time, how many armed forces were there in Shandong, Han Fuyu's 100,000 main army had already been transferred away by Lao Jiang, and most of Shandong was also occupied by the Japanese army, and the slightly larger base area was only left with the 60,000 armed forces of Fan Zhuxian in the sixth district.
What should the Sixth District do? Is it to deal with official affairs, or to dispatch elite soldiers and strong generals to support the Wuhan Battle with all sincerity? Fan Zhuxian gathered all the officers above the battalion level and held a military meeting to listen to everyone's opinions first.
