"Wang Sang, we have a long-term friendship and the most haode friend, please!" Saying that, Yasuo Kimura lowered his head hard, and all the rampant in the past was reined in, full of humility and respect.

Seeing them like this, Zhang Tinglan's heart unconsciously swelled with a trace of coldness, not only him, but even Wang Yongjiang had something called shock in his eyes.

In Kimura and Shimoda, they have already glimpsed the horror of the Yamato nation, and in this nation, it seems that they don't feel shameful, as long as they want to achieve their goals, they can easily conjure up different faces and do whatever it takes.

In the past, they were all arrogant and condescending, and they didn't pay attention to Fengtian at all. Of course, they do have this capital, after all, the Japanese have become a great power, and this is a recognized thing. But when they really come to ask for others, they can let go of everything, and they are full of respect and humility, just like the changing face of Sichuan Opera.

The Japanese seem to have two faces, and this is not a human, but a group of snakes! A poisonous snake that can bite at any time! When he smiles at you, he may have sent a knife into your chest, and there must be no politeness to such a terrible opponent.

Wang Yongjiang waved his hand lightly and said with a smile: "Mr. Kimura, we are good business partners, if there is anything, you can just say it!" ”

Wang Yongjiang said that he was a business partner, and he pushed back all the words of Kimura's friendship, let's 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 and buy them. It just so happens that the humble words are also here, if there are any requirements, you can talk directly! Wang Yongjiang continued to pretend to be stupid.

Kimura had no choice but to poke through the window paper and said: "Nissin has invested in a batch of Russian bonds, and now there is a little situation in Russia, and Nissin is also a little short of funds, we want to get a batch of soybeans first, and then pay." ”

Wang Yongjiang glanced at Zhang Tinglan, which means that it is time for you to come forward, Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Mr. Kimura." It's not a small situation in Russia right now, but the majority party has set off a revolution, and you must 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, they will not recognize them. IMHO. The bonds you have in your hands are a pile of waste paper! ”

"Zhang Jun, the majority party is just a group of thugs, they will not succeed, I can tell you that the powers, including the imperial government, are ready to intervene in Russia. The majority party riots are only temporary and will be completely suppressed. ”

"Mr. Kimura, what you said may have a point, but it is completely different from my judgment. My request is the same, if you want to buy soybeans, you have only two options, either cash or your company's stock, and I will not accept anything else. ”

At this time, Shimoda Yi on the side suddenly spoke: "Zhang Sang, buy soybeans on credit to us, the price is negotiable, you can increase each quintal by a dime, and we can also provide some business dividends to you, you will definitely not suffer." ”

Zhang Tinglan smiled and shook his head: "Two, don't bother, if I were a businessman, I might accept your suggestion, but don't forget, our identity is government officials, we buy and sell soybeans, not to make money, we are to protect the interests of the people in the three eastern provinces." The funds for the acquisition are the blood and sweat of taxpayers, and no one can joke with this money, I am very sorry, we must not risk it with you. ”

Zhang Tinglan's words were righteous and strict, and all their words were sealed, and Kimura and Shimoda's faces were even more ugly, but they couldn't do anything, who called them asking for help now!

Kimura thought for a moment, and then said: "Zhang Sang, we can give up 20% of the shares to mortgage 200 million catties of soybeans, what do you think?" ”

"Mr. Kimura, 200 million catties of soybeans is 2 million quintals, you need 8 million funds, you get 20 percent of the shares, if before this crisis, it's completely fine. But now there is a crisis, your stock is also seriously shrinking, it is said that the market price has fallen by two-thirds, and soon it will develop in the direction of garbage, I think you have to take out at least 60% of the shares, we can help you through the crisis, otherwise absolutely not! ”

Zhang Tinglan offered his own price, and after Kimura and Shimoda heard it, they stared at Zhang Tinglan as if they were looking at a monster, this guy is simply a devil who eats people and doesn't spit out bones, how can he ask for sixty percent in one mouth! If it agreed, wouldn't it mean that the oil mill had changed its owner, which is simply unreasonable!

Kimura shook his head like a rattle: "This is absolutely not good, the oil mill is related to the interests of the imperial government, and it will never be handed over to you, so don't be delusional." ”

"Since the oil mill is so important, I believe that the Japanese government will do its best to help you, and I am waiting for your good news."

After Zhang Tinglan finished speaking, he picked up the teacup, tasted it by himself, and put out a pair of jiashi to send off guests, Kimura and Shimoda wanted to say something more, this was what people didn't listen to at all, and they had to get up and say goodbye.

"To put it mildly, you are ruthless enough, it's like a lion opening his mouth widely, and he asked for 60 percent of the shares at once, according to the character of the Japanese, they will never agree."

"Mr. Min Yuan, believe it or not, the Americans will ask for a higher price than us, they are the real masters!"

What Zhang Tinglan said was not bad at all, Kimura and Shimoda left the provincial government, and found the consul general Akajiri Massuke, hoping that he could help him find a way to tide over the difficulties in front of them.

But at this time, the American businessman who had negotiated the purchase of soybean oil came to the door, and compared with Zhang Tinglan, the American was more direct and arrogant, and directly asked Kimura about the bond, asking them to explain whether they were still able to complete the contract.

According to the original agreement, Japan's two major oil mills were to provide 30 million kilograms of soybean oil to the Americans, and if they failed to complete the contract on time, the Japanese would have to pay the Americans 40 percent of the liquidated damages, totaling 6 million yuan. This is also an astronomical amount.

Normally, Nissin and Santai can bear it, but at the moment they really don't have the ability, the Russian bonds have already caused them heavy losses, if they compensate the Americans for so many liquidated damages, the two oil mills can only close their doors.

If Japan dares to play tricks in the face of the Chinese, but in the face of the Americans, give them a hundred guts, they do not dare to be so rampant, and the Americans have oil and other resources in their hands that Japan needs. Moreover, it is the most important consumer market for Japan's raw silk and other agricultural products, and if it offends the United States, it will be difficult for Japan's economy to sustain.

The Japanese could only reassure the American side again and again that they would be able to complete the task on time. But the Americans scoffed at it.

"The capital chain of Nissin and Santai has been broken, according to our estimates. If you don't get financial assistance, you can't fulfill your contract. Here I give you two options. Or find a way to get enough liquidated damages. Either 80 percent of the oil mill will be handed over to the United States, and we will cooperate with the United States to provide sufficient funds to ensure that you can continue to operate! ”

The American Zuihou arrogantly said: "I will only give you ten days, if you can't do it, you just wait for sanctions!" ”

Kimura and Shimoda's hearts were filled with bitter water at this time. In the upper reaches, there are Mukden restraining them, and in the lower reaches, the Americans are also fighting their ideas, and they are fighting at both ends, and this is the real danger.

After sending off the American representatives. Kimura immediately said to Akajiri Massuke: "Mr. Consul General, please help us find a way quickly, we urgently need funds to maintain, and the Imperial Government will help, right?" ”

Kimura looked at Akajiri Massuke with hope, but this consul general was also the first two big, and it was not only Nissin and Santai who suffered, but the Bank of Korea and the Jeongjin Bank were also facing a run, and the Manchurian Railway was also damaged.

Japan's most important enterprises in Mukden are all involved, there are too many people who have fallen into the water, and the lifebuoy in his hands is limited, and who to save and who not to save is not something that Akajiri Massuke can decide.

Seeing that Akajiri Shosuke was embarrassed, Shimoda Yoshi's eyes were already red: "Mr. Consul General, the Americans have a very tough attitude, we can only find a breakthrough from Mukden, or get enough money to buy soybeans, or the imperial government will use force to make the people of Shina submit and honestly buy soybeans on credit." If neither of these things can be done, 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, trying to think of a solution, and at this time, an American ocean-going freighter was riding the wind and waves and sailing to Huludao.

Carrying a large number of machines on the freighter and more than 30 returnees, Ba Yuzao finally returned to China after two years of studying in the United States.

This road is not easy, although Zhang Tinglan gave Ba Yuzao a lot of funding, but in the face of this huge amount of money, Ba Yuzao did not dare to spend a lot, he knew very well that Zhang Tinglan did not hesitate to spend a lot of money, in fact, he regarded him as the hope of manufacturing aircraft and developing the Air Force, and Ba Yuzao also has this ambition, so he must make good use of every penny to recruit a small number of Chinese talents in American society, and at the same time try to purchase some key jishu equipment, according to Ba Yuzao's Jihua, as long as he returns to China, He built the Chinese's own plane as soon as possible.

At first, it was not smooth, and I did find some talents to study in the United States, but most of these people were from the south, and they preferred to defect to the Kuomintang after graduation, and they did not have any impression of the distant Mukden. Moreover, in American society, Chinese people are discriminated against, even if Ba Yuzao is the top talent favored by American aircraft companies, but they want to purchase what they need, and they are also subject to many restrictions.

Just when Ba Yuzao was extremely anxious, the turning point finally appeared, the Feng army defeated the Russians and took back control of the Middle East Road, this is a big thing in Chinese society, among overseas Chinese, this is also a great big thing, finally an army dared to challenge the great powers, and won the victory, which made those students studying abroad finally begin to face the Feng army.

In addition, because Zhang Tinglan and Kerry reached an agreement to jointly build an oil mill, the Cleveland consortium was willing to provide some help. In addition, Zhang Tinglan took over Kang Youwei's overseas network, and the combination of these three favorable conditions made Ba Yuzao's work much smoother.

A large number of international students agreed to develop in Fengtian, and some machines that could not be purchased could also be bought, Ba Yuzao was very excited, and he and several partners joined forces to create a brand new aircraft, and the performance was no worse than the mainstream fighters on Shijie now.

They also built 10 planes in a row and purchased another 50 engines in the United States, for which Zhang Tinglan specially arranged a freighter of more than 3,000 tons to carry these students and aircraft equipment back to China.

From a distance, Ba Yuzao saw that a large number of people had gathered above the port, and there were even many soldiers, and his and other companions' eyes instantly turned red.

"Motherland, we are back!" (To be continued......)
