Episode 8: Bargaining with Taharaji
Xu Yushan pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "Of course I invited you, look at the dishes on this table, how good, they are all famous foods?" ”
Han Xing frowned and said, "Why do I think I invited you?" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Of course, Xu Yushan was also unconvinced.
"Look at it," Han Xing said, "Shiji roast mutton, Zuoying mung bean balls, and golden cicadas are not my dishes." The valuable dishes are mine, what do you have? ”
"I don't like to hear you say this," Xu Yushan also came seriously, "Aren't these old pickles, wowotou, and white porridge all mine." Besides, Shiji roasted mutton, Zuoying mung bean balls, how did the golden cicada become yours, and it was mine when you entered the door, why did it become yours. There are also these tables, chairs and benches, as well as this hospitality, and this bottle of Lao Baigan, you really take me, the commander, not a cadre. What is this called, this is called eating and drinking Sun and not thanking Sun, what a white-eyed wolf......"
Han Xing finally caught Xu Yushan's words, and said with a smile: "I just eat Sun and drink Sun and don't thank Sun, what's the matter!" ”
Everyone listened to the fight between the two, just laughing, some didn't even laugh, just lowered their heads and ate and drank, after eating, what else is there, how can they have the leisure to listen to their nonsense.
After eating and resting for a while, the three cars immediately drove to the large oil field of Wall.
Liaocheng District 6 and Wall's company set up an oil field area, and the so-called sign is to pull two wires. At that time, people were honest, and when they saw two wires, they knew that this was a company run by the government and foreigners, so they stopped.
Before entering the oil field, the people in the car saw a tall drilling rig and a petrochemical plant. This lifted the spirits of the people in the car.
These experts and engineers know what oil is, oil is black gold, and it is an important strategic material. Whoever masters oil has one of the most important resources for war.
As for the safety of the oil field, there are 32 detachments in charge, and there are a few people in gray military uniforms standing guard at the gate with Hanyangzao.
The doorman had already received a notice that someone at the level of the boss was coming, so as soon as he saw the car coming, he quickly opened the simple wooden door and released the person after asking a few words.
The machine on the derrick roared, which was the engine driving the drill pipe to carry out the drilling operation. Every time a pipe is replaced, it is one step closer to the oil, and once the pipe is connected to the oil, the black gold flows out like gold water.
These oil workers included both American masters and Chinese apprentices, which was the prototype of China's first batch of oil workers. It is these apprentices who will become masters in the future, and the masters will lead new apprentices, batches of oil workers.
Some of the drilling rigs had long since been removed and replaced with iron pipes, from which black crude oil flowed out day and night, into the deep oil reservoirs in Fangfang.
The contrast between the black oil and the yellow earth made everyone's hearts warm, and they were really excited and enthusiastic. Some people couldn't help but shout: "We also have oil in China!" "Long live the oil!" "We don't have to just count on imports anymore." "Little Japan, let's die-"
This is the autumn of 1938, 21 years earlier than the Daqing Oil Battle and the 1959 Songji 3 Well oil, which is the need of history and the need of the war.
Black oil does not mean usable gasoline, diesel, engine oil and various types of useful minerals. Not far from here, the petrochemical plant is also roaring, criss-crossing oil pipelines, crude oil enters from this end, after continuous distillation, differentiation, distillation, differentiation, and then from the pipe at the other end of the flow out of gasoline, diesel, engine oil and various types of oil products.
Needless to say, these experts and engineers have already gotten out of the car, and they are all watching with interest the equipment they are interested in and the various machines that cannot be seen from the doorway. Although he is not engaged in petroleum, he is mechanically connected, and he thinks of his own machinery and equipment and weapons processing equipment from these petroleum equipment, and constantly enriches his own design ideas.
Han Xing didn't have the time to watch these various opportunities that had little to do with him, so he called Chen Ping and Lei Qing to meet Wall. Why did he bring Chen Ping and Lei Qing, Han Xing knew in his heart that bringing Chen Ping was the same as talking on the phone with Zhang Weihan, as long as he went back, Zhang Weihan would know everything.
Before he could enter Wall's office, he heard what Wall seemed to be arguing with someone. Han Xing waved his hand at Chen Ping and Lei Qing, telling them not to speak for a while, and then pricked up his ears to listen to what was going on in the room.
Wall in the room was obviously a little angry, and shouted loudly: "I said Mr. Taharaji, don't be so domineering, okay!" Our company has just come up with oil, and we have just come up with some products, and you have to sell them all to you. You said this, you can't do it, you really can't do it. ”
Tian Yuanji also said angrily: "We will give you the best price, what else are you reluctant to do?" Anyway, whoever sells it is also sold, so why do you look down on us Japanese like this? ”
"It's not a question of money or not," Wall said aloud, "oil is a strategic substance, and that needs to be approved by the higher-ups." I haven't told my boss yet, how can I assert myself? ”
"Tell you the truth," Tahara said, threatening in a bare voice, "if you don't sell us the oil." Hum! I said that your factory can't open tomorrow, then it can't open tomorrow. ”
Wall didn't eat this either, and said unceremoniously to Tahara Er: "Mr. Tahara Er, don't forget, this is also a U Guokai company." If you want to use force, it is an act of war against our country U. ”
Hearing this, Tian Yuanji was also shocked, and his words were indeed a little presumptuous. This was 1938, and Japan was far from ready for the war of country U, and if force was used, then Japan's highest decision-making body would not agree to it.
Han Xing was angry at Tian Yuan Er's domineering, and Chen Ping couldn't stand it anymore, so he took Lei Qing and stepped into the door, shouting loudly: "Who did I think it was, it turned out to be the Japanese Tian Yuan Er." Why do we Chinese sell oil to you Japanese, we ourselves are not enough! I just don't give it to you, I just don't give it to you, I'm angry with you! ”
Lei Qing also helped and said: "I just don't give it to you, I just don't give it to you, I'm angry with you!" ”
Wall was talking to Tahara about oil when he suddenly saw two female generals breaking into the room, and they spoke so bluntly, and they couldn't help but be surprised. As soon as he looked up, he saw that it was Han Xing following behind, and knew that it was brought by Han Xing, so he hurriedly said to Tian Yuanji: "Our boss is here, if you have anything to say, you can tell our boss!" ”
Although Han Xing is annoyed enough with Tian Yuanji, he still has to pay attention to etiquette on the surface, after all, is China a country of etiquette, and Han Xing's current identity is not the same, and the deputy commander must have the level of a deputy commander.
Han Xing smiled at Tahara Er and said, "Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Tahara Er, a Japanese businessman, hello!" Our oil has just been extracted, and it costs a lot, but it's expensive. ”
When he was still the director of the industrial bureau of Hanxing, Tianyuan Erji knew Hanxing, and he had a long deal with Hanxing for penicillin. Through guò intelligence, Tian Yuan Er also knew that Han Xing was now the deputy commander of the guerrilla corps in Liaocheng, that is, the second-in-command of Liaocheng.
Finally met a person who could be discussed, Tian Yuanji was of course very happy in his heart, and quickly stretched out his hand and said, "Thank you very much Commander Han, Director Han for your support to us." I'm the president of the Liaocheng Japanese Chamber of Commerce, Tahara Er, and you've known each other for a long time. ”
Han Xing shook his hand and said, "We can only sell some crude oil, and in two years, crude oil can be officially sold!" ”
Han Xing's words, almost didn't make Tian Yuaner's nose crooked, and thought that Han Xing was a cheerful person, but he didn't expect that he only sold crude oil, and besides, it was two years later, and he was panting for breath. If it were two years later, I'm afraid the war would have been over long ago, so what else would I do with all this crude oil?
But Tahara was only angry in his heart, and he didn't dare to be angry with Han Xing on the surface, so he had to say: "We, the Japanese Chamber of Commerce, want gasoline, diesel, and engine oil produced by chemical plants. Please give me a convenience. ”
Han Xing said seriously: "Oh, you said that we haven't produced these products yet. Where did you get any gasoline, diesel, and engine oil? ”
Tahara still insisted: "We have known for a long time that these products have been produced." Your company has already started selling. ”
Han Xing scolded in his heart: Tian Yuanji is a Japanese spy leader in Liaocheng, of course these things can't be hidden from him. But Han Xing still pretended to be stupid and asked Wall, "Is that so, Mr. Wall?" How did I not know? ”
Mr. Wall made a gesture of helplessness.
said that cross talk has to be cooperated by two people, one teasing, the other teasing, if Wall's praise is unqualified, this cross talk will not be able to act.
But Chen Ping's words are more direct: "If we have gasoline and diesel, why should we sell them to you?" Just don't sell, just don't sell. ”
Lei Qing also helped: "It's just not for sale, it's just not for sale." ”
Tahara was going to threaten again, that is, to say, if you don't sell it to us, it's okay, then our Japanese army will use force. But he thought that these words were not good for Han Xing, so when the words came to his lips, he temporarily changed his words and said: "If you don't sell them to us, I'm afraid it's not good!" ”
Han Xing is also thinking carefully about this issue. If Japan wants to brazenly use force, he will absolutely not dare to do so, because he has not yet declared war on country U. But if you want to say that he is sabotage, it is really impossible to prevent it, and it is impossible for such a large petrochemical plant not to be mixed with a traitor. Rather than the company being destroyed and unable to open, it is better to be flexible and share some interests, which is the same as penicillin.
So, Han Xing said: "Our petroleum products have just come out, the quality is substandard, and the price is also very expensive, can you afford it?" ”
"No. 70 gasoline, how much does it cost a ton?" Tahara asked.
"3,000 oceans!" Han Xing said.
Tian Yuanji was taken aback and said: "The average price in the world is only 1,200 oceans, and the highest is 1,500 oceans, but you want 3,000 oceans, I'm afraid Director Han has no sincerity in doing business." ”
Chen Ping quietly pulled Han Xing and glanced at Han Xing vigorously, which meant that he resolutely could not sell oil to Tian Yuaner.
Lei Qing's expression was even more direct, and he simply pursed his lips.
