Chapter 140: The dark horse that emerged from the signing ceremony
"To sign or not to sign? Don't waste my time if you don't sign it. ”
Chongqing.
A conference room of a high-end hotel.
Qin Wei stared at the few people on the other side of the long table, looking like he might jump up and kill at any moment. But his "tiger power" is really limited, and the other party didn't even look at him, just browsed the documents he just took out by himself, and from time to time put his head together and muttered for a while.
"Unprofessional is unprofessional, I really don't know how you came up with the idea of doing business...... It's been a few days since the contract was drafted and handed over to you, and this time it's just the official version, so don't tell me you haven't even consulted a lawyer. Seeing that the other party ignored him, Qin Wei complained again.
"Of course I've consulted a lawyer, but I'm just afraid that you'll be playing tricks on this so-called formal contract." Kong Lingkan raised his head from the contract document and also stared at Qin Wei with an unkind expression.
"Am I playing tricks? I've always had a good reputation, unlike some people, whose reputation is rotten, and I'm embarrassed to come out to meet people. Qin Wei sneered.
"It's useless for you to tell me this. I don't believe you anyway. ”
Kong Lingkan's chest rose and fell, but he could feel a hand suddenly stretched out behind him, and he still barely suppressed the anger in his heart...... Seeing him like this, Kong Lingwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help glaring at Qin Wei angrily.
"What do you see? Dude, I like women, I don't like men. Qin Wei glared back.
"Mr. Qin, you don't like the Kong family, everyone knows this, so you don't have to talk about it all day long."
Kong Lingyi pulled her sister and glared at Qin Wei fiercely.
This time, the second generation of the Kong family almost poured out, except for Kong Lingjie, who was going to school, did not arrive, Kong Lingyi, Kong Lingkan, and Kong Lingwei all arrived. And except for the three of them. The Englishman Jensen was also present, and only Colley, who was in the position of British consul, did not show up to avoid suspicion.
But these people are just a small thing.
The fact that Qin Wei wanted to cooperate with the Kong family to develop Indonesian oil had already spread among the high-level leaders in Chongqing after the two sides initialed the cooperation intention and officially decided to start negotiations. In this regard, from Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling to Zheng Jiemin and Ke Shufang's two in-laws, there is almost nothing they don't care about. There is no way to do it, the benefits are too great. And in order to be able to get a piece of the pie, many people have contacted both parties through relationships. The Kong family is not bad, Kong Xiangxi seems to enjoy this life that has returned to the limelight, and frequently communicates with some people. It means that everyone works together to make a fortune. For a while, it attracted a lot of people, and the majesty of the Executive Yuan seemed to have recovered a lot.
But Qin Wei is different.
This guy hid in the White Mansion in Geyue Mountain and did not come forward, although during the period, Dai Li, Zheng Jiemin's generation occasionally went to "visit", He Yingqin and Bai Zhengxi and others also had secret talks with him several times, and I don't know what Lu Dao talked about. Anyway, he couldn't convince Qin Wei. However, this does not mean that Qin Wei is just a person, on the contrary. Behind him gathered a large number of people. It's like this "signing ceremony". Behind him sat Ye Yuanlong, Fu Sinian, Duan Xipeng, three old acquaintances, and Chen Jiageng, who had just returned from Nanyang and looked uncertain. Even Li Siguang, who was engaged in geological exploration work at the ferry, which was later Panzhihua, actually took the time to rush back. And in addition to these that can be related, there is also a row sitting in the back, among which the two beards are the most eye-catching. The first one was Yu Youren, the president of the Supervision Yuan of the National Government who was mistaken by Qin Wei for Zhang Daqian, and alongside him was Zhang Daqian himself, who had just arrived in Chongqing......
……
"With such a big formation, do you think the Kong family will notice anything?"
Mao Wanli didn't dare to enter the signing site at all, he hid outside the venue, and looked inside through the window from time to time. But apart from hearing Qin Wei constantly mocking Kong Lingkan, he didn't see anything.
"Did you notice anything?"
"Me? What do I perceive? Hearing Zhou Tian's rhetorical question, Mao Wanli looked at the familiar little secretary inexplicably, "This has nothing to do with me." ”
"It's nothing to do with you and me, but you and I are so close to Chief Qin that we don't even notice what he wants to do, how can the Kong family be aware of it?" Zhou Tian asked rhetorically again.
"Provide oil field locations, and ensure oil production, and ensure that reserves can reach more than 100 million barrels...... Such a loss-making agreement can be agreed, what is Chief Qin doing? Mao Wanli frowned again.
"He doesn't have any money." Zhou Tian glanced inside again, "It takes so much money to dig an oil well, and in such a large area, even if you know that there is oil under the road, maybe you can't touch it...... And he has recently expanded the scale of the feed mill and opened several branches in the southwestern provinces; Farms also need to be built; And those who did any experiments in the university also pointed to him...... This pile, piece by piece, which ones are not money? ”
"Then you should take the oil field into your own hands. Why do you still want to sell? Mao Wanli asked.
"How do I know about the Dao? Didn't you ask Chief Qin? What did he say? Zhou Tian asked rhetorically.
He said...... Forget it, let's stop talking. Angry. ”
Mao Wanli thought about what Qin Wei had said at that time, and couldn't help but shake his head. At the same time, in an unknown room of the hotel, a conversation is also going on.
"Ling Wei always feels that this matter is unreliable, she has always been very smart, in case ......"
"She's really smart. But she still likes to do things by temperament, and if she likes it, she can do whatever she wants; If you don't like it, you won't do it if it's good...... I've never taken out so much money at once in my life. 10 million pounds, if you lose, your family will be basically empty, and all your decades of hard work will be in vain. But if we win, we will win completely. Think about it? With a huge oil field in hand, can Zhongzheng still beckon me as it does now? Kong Xiangxi sat on the sofa, a little nervous, but more of a longing.
"There is no shortage of oil in Zhongzheng. Libya has made so much money at once, I heard Meiling say that Qin Wei gave the exact news of ten big oil fields at once. Compared to them, even if we can earn it this time, it will only be our own. ”
"Where is Libya? Where is Indonesia? Kong Xiangxi's fat face hung a confident smile. His oil fields are all at the doorstep of others, which can be sold, but cannot be extracted; But our oil fields are different, although it also depends on the eyes of the British and the Dutch, but after all, it is relying on China, the distance is close, and neither the British nor the Dutch can be too reckless. …… China is an oil-poor country, and in the future, I am afraid that all of China's oil will be supplied by me, hehe. Even Zhongzheng didn't dare to give me a casual look, not only that, but he also had to support me, because he also needed oil. ”
"I've always been weird. Since this Qin Wei looks down on our Kong family so much, why did he agree to sell the oil field to us later? He is not afraid of us. Song Ailing said again.
"What's so strange about that?" Kong Xiangxi smiled. "He is indeed not afraid of our Kong family. But who in the whole of China is qualified to develop a large oil field? Who has the financial resources to run these? Who can resist the cunning and robbery of those foreigners and these dignitaries in China? It's just me. Kong-Xiang-Xi! He didn't want to work with me, but he had to. If you look at the contract he drafted earlier, it was written that the oil field must be put into production within two years, and after it is put into production, it must also provide a certain amount of oil to the country at cost price every year...... These, except for me. Who in the whole of China can do it? To put it bluntly, this kid has no choice. ”
"But I always felt that there was something strange about it. Ling Wei has a lot of contact with that kid, and he has always said that he is not such a person who can sacrifice for the overall situation......"
"Okay, you two mothers and daughters just like to worry about poverty. I don't want to think about it. It's all come to this point, what's the use of worrying? Do you regret it? Ju Zheng and Yu Youren are here, where will my old face be placed when the time comes? ”
"Okay, okay, I won't say it, okay?" Seeing that Kong Xiangxi was a little impatient, Song Ailing had to stop talking. In fact, she also knew very well that her husband was extremely nervous at this time. The reasons just now are not so much to explain to her, but to themselves, after all, it is 10 million pounds, a total of more than 30 million dollars, and it took a lifetime of good and bad work to save such a little wealth, and this time almost all of it was invested.
"May God bless us and make our Kong family successfully turn over."
……
"Mr. Qin, in this article, if Party B fails to fulfill the terms stipulated in the contract to provide oil to China at cost price, it must compensate three times the amount, and if it fails to complete the terms for two consecutive years, the oil field will automatically fall under your name...... What do you mean by that? In the conference room, after some deliberation, Jensen suddenly pointed to one of the contracts and asked Qin Wei.
"This is to safeguard the interests of the country. After all, I can't just send a big oil field out of the country for nothing, in addition to personal benefits, national interests must also be taken into account. Qin Wei looked at him lightly, "The reason why such a strict clause was set is so that you can fulfill the quota given to us every year to the letter." Of course, there is also a little bit of selfishness on my part. I have always believed that the Japanese would not be satisfied with just invading China, especially now that they are in a quagmire in China, but they are not getting much of the resources they need. So, sooner or later, they will go south, and if that day does, you will definitely not be able to fulfill this clause by then. In this case, don't I just get the oil field back without spending a penny? How good is that? You say, don't you?
"The Japanese dare to go south?" Kong Lingkan couldn't help laughing, "With their little ability, it's enough to find trouble in our China, and they still want to find Britain, France and the United States?" Unless their brains are rusty. ”
"I don't know if the Japanese have rusty brains, but I do know that if you sign this contract, you have to take this risk." Qin Wei smiled evilly, "And even if you refuse to sign the contract, I won't lose." Because in this way, the money that you paid me in bits and pieces before will be wasted...... A million pounds, tsk, only you Kong family can be so generous. ”
"Don't scare me, since Young Master Ben is already sitting here, he won't look back. Do you want to go back to the oil field? Next life. ”
"You signed?"
"I'll sign ......" Kong Lingkan glanced at several senior executives of the Seven Star Company around him, such as Chen, Xu Kan and others, and when he saw a few people nodding at him, his expression immediately perked: "Sign now!" ”
"Then please." Qin Wei took out a fountain pen, "Good luck, Master Kong!" ”
"Hmph, I'm lucky, you'll be ......"
"Please wait a minute."
Kong Lingkan slapped Qin Wei's fountain pen away with one hand, took out a gold pen from his body, and was about to sign the contract in triplicate in front of him, but his hand was suddenly grabbed. When he turned his head, he saw a white man following Jensen. This person he also knew, and in order to avoid possible problems in the contract, he hired a British lawyer specially for T Jensen.
"What are you doing, Joseph?" Jensen also looked at the lawyer he hired in surprise, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"There's nothing wrong with that, Baron," Joseph looked at his employer with a smile, "but before you sign, I want to say a few words to this Mr. Qin." ”
"Me?" Qin Wei pointed at himself, a little surprised: "What do you want to say?" Q: Will I sing "God Save the King"? ”
"Mr. Qin is really a person with a great sense of humor, but that's not what I'm going to ask." Joseph smiled and stood up straight: "First of all, please allow me to introduce myself again, I am the authorized representative of Royal Dutch Shell, and I am here to discuss with you about the Indonesian oil field...... Of course, out of good faith, we can assure you that we at Royal Shell are willing to increase the original price by 30% regardless of the purchase price of Mr. Kong Lingkan! (To be continued......)
