Throughout China, the most suitable area for coal and iron joint ventures is the Northeast, that is, Benxi, Anshan, Fushun and other places, which are rich in coal and iron resources, and have extremely high taste and great development value. That is, this is the foundation of China's heavy industry in later generations, Zhang Tinglan naturally will not know that he has long set his sights here.

However, his action was too late, during the Russo-Japanese War, the Benxi Lake Coal and Iron Company had been established, and illegal exploration work was also carried out in the Anshan area, and the Japanese also made a request to Lao Zhang through Yu Chonghan not long ago, hoping to develop the iron ore resources of Anshan, and to establish the Anshan Iron and Steel Institute, which is the predecessor of the Showa Steel Institute.

The Japanese have shown crazy ambitions for coal and iron resources, Zhang Tinglan clearly knows this, as a rapidly industrializing country, the demand for steel is quite amazing, but the Japanese archipelago has no way to provide it, the Japanese will naturally look to the northeast.

However, Zhang Tinglan has always hoped to establish a heavy industry system that belongs to Fengtian himself, without steel as support, there will be no modern army, so the resources belonging to Fengtian are included in his own bag, which is Zhang Tinglan's goal all along, and the two sides can be said to be on the tip of the needle on this issue.

When Zhang Tinglan asked for shares in the coal and iron company, not only Kihachiro Okura, but even Otian couldn't sit still, and they stared at the boss. Lao Zhang, a warlord, doesn't want guns, cannons, or even money, but stares at the steel company, which has to make Lost Tian feel frightened, Zhang Zuolin's eyes are so vicious!

"Zhang San, the distribution of shares of the coal and iron company is something that we discussed with the former Qing Dynasty and cannot be changed, and this is not something that Mr. Okura can decide, and the Japanese government will definitely not agree to it."

"Mr. Oda, why did you forget what you said so quickly. Don't you have no problem with how to solve it! Is the stake in the Benxihu Coal and Iron Company in the hands of the Japanese government or in the hands of Okura? ”

"Naturally, it is in the hands of Mr. Okura, but the products of the Benxihu Coal and Iron Company must supply Japan's military needs, and at present, China and Japan each occupy 50% of the shares, which is already the biggest concession of the empire, you should not be delusional!"

Zhang Tinglan sneered: "What you are talking about is the problem of product supply, and it has nothing to do with the company's equity, even if we have the controlling power in Fengtian, we will still sell it to the Japanese." ”

Zhang Tinglan is right, for the time being, Mukden does not have the ability to consume a large amount of steel. It still has to be sold to the Japanese. But it doesn't mean that there will be no future, as long as you hold the controlling stake in your hands, you can dominate the business strategy in the future, of course, Zhang Tinglan will not say this kind of thing.

"In any case, the Benxihu Coal and Iron Company has Japan's national interests involved. It is beyond the scope of what we have agreed on, so please change the conditions. ”

"As long as Japanese interests are involved. You're so domineering. Isn't it a declaration of war for you to send killers to assassinate China's feudal officials? ”

"The assassination has nothing to do with the Japanese government!"

"It's okay, whether Junnosuke Date is an active officer in Japan or not, how many of the murderers are serving in the army, if the Japanese side doesn't mind. Let's announce it and see what the international community thinks about whether the Japanese government is innocent! ”

In the face of Zhang Tinglan's sharp questioning, the momentum of the lost field also weakened. Although he said that he had nothing to do with the Japanese government, in fact, he did not have the tacit approval of the military, and Date Shunnosuke and these people did not dare to act so recklessly, in the final analysis, they represented the will of the Japanese government.

Zhang Tinglan saw that Oda's momentum had weakened, and continued: "Mr. Oda, if the Japanese official insists on intervening in our deal with Okura, then Mukden can only announce the truth of the matter. If you can exercise restraint, I can guarantee that this is just a change in equity, and it will definitely not affect the interests of the Japanese side, on the contrary, we can also expand the scale of the steel plant and carry out more in-depth cooperation with you, and the two sides will be mutually beneficial and win-win, and it depends on the wisdom of you Japanese. ”

Lost Tian's face was pale, staring at Zhang Tinglan deadly, and said viciously: "You are blackmailing the Japanese government, aren't you afraid of our retaliation, the Japanese Imperial Army can kill Mukden at any time and crush you all!" ”

Zhang Tinglan looked at the lost field, he was not worried in his heart, as the saying goes, a dog that bites does not show its teeth, and now that the lost field is yelling so fiercely, he must not be ready for war, it is just to scare people, since it is said to be scary, Zhang Tinglan will not be polite.

"Mr. Losta, the little Mukden will definitely not be able to defeat your dignified Japanese Empire, and we will not hit the stone with an egg, if you come over, we can only escape." Speaking of this, Zhang Tinglan showed a sneer on his face: "Hundreds of thousands, millions of refugees will go north and flock to the Russian Far East, at that time, the Russian Far East will definitely be in chaos, and even Russia will be in chaos, and the entire Eastern Front battlefield will be in chaos, I think as a member of the Entente, the Japanese will not want to see this day!" ”

Everyone here never imagined that Zhang Tinglan would come up with such an unbelievable idea, the Japanese beat us, and Mukden did not think about confrontation, but broke the jar and broke it to disturb Russia.

It looks crazy, but these words are indeed very deterrent, without the containment of the Eastern Front, maybe Germany will be able to quickly sweep Britain and France, and then the Shijie pattern will undergo drastic changes, and the Japanese really can't afford this kind of consequences, and Britain and France will not take this risk.

Lost Tian was so angry that he trembled, pointed at Zhang Tinglan with his hand, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "You are playing a scoundrel!" ”

"In the face of murderers, whatever means we use are justified!"

Otian was speechless and sat on the Taishi chair, but his mind was spinning wildly, whether he should hand over the controlling stake, this question is indeed too difficult to decide, coal and iron are the lifeblood of Japan, without sufficient steel, how can Japan build guns and cannons, how to build huge battleships.

But if he didn't agree, Zhang Zuolin released the evidence in his hand, and the Japanese government would soon face an unprecedented crisis, and the consequences would be unpredictable.

Zhang Tinglan set his eyes on Kihachiro Okura again, and sneered: "Mr. Okura, you have been in business for many years, you won't be unaware, the most important thing for a businessman is reputation, if someone knows that you are behind the murder, what people do you say will cooperate with you, how can you gain a foothold in the business world?" ”

Okura Kihachiro's brain has long been messed up, as a rich and rival country's chaebol, Okura's thoughts are not the same as the loss of land, if Zhang Zuolin publishes the evidence of the crime, no matter how the Japanese government responds, one thing is certain, that is, Okura will be ruined, and even doomed.

After all, a Kawashima Naniwa acts as a scapegoat, and the weight is too light, and he probably can't escape, so what is in front of Okura is not the question of agreeing or disagreeing, but the choice of cutting meat or losing his head.

After thinking about these things clearly, Kihachiro Okura gritted his teeth and said: "The shares of the Benxihu Coal and Iron Company can be discussed, but they must not be given to you by 20 percent, and you must sign a sales agreement to ensure that the products are given priority to the Japanese military." ”

As soon as Okura said this, Zhang Tinglan showed a smile on his face, and finally broke through a gap, building a steel plant from scratch, not only with a huge investment, but also with a suitable site selection, but also talent training.

If I can take advantage of this opportunity to get the controlling power, and use the equity to make steady progress, so that the Benxi Lake Coal and Iron Company can be used by me, there is no doubt that it is the most haode shortcut, especially this factory has also poured the efforts of the Japanese, and the factory established by the Japanese has turned around and beaten the Japanese, and there is no such comfortable thing in this world.

"The sales agreement can be signed, but the term must be limited, not more than five years, and the price must also refer to the market price, as for the shares, it can be reduced to 18 percent."

Okura shook his head like a rattle, he currently controls 50% of the shares, and giving up 18% is equivalent to one-third, how can he agree.

"Fifteen percent, this is the bottom limit of zuihou, otherwise our deal will not be able to be discussed."

Kihachiro Okura was also in a dilemma for a while, and suddenly Okuda spoke: "One or two percent is negotiable, but one or twenty is not good at all, you don't want to take advantage of the fire to rob." ”

"Okay, according to what Mr. Okita said, we only need one percent of the shares, and we have a deal!"

Lost Tian was stunned for a moment, he had never seen such a condition, just now he was biting hard, saying that fifteen percent is the bottom limit, how can it become one percent in a blink of an eye, which caught everyone off guard.

In fact, in Zhang Tinglan's view, let alone one percent, even 0.1 percent is okay, because it means absolute controlling power, the original two sides are evenly matched, the Japanese control the management, but also control the sales, which is equivalent to turning the factory into their own, but once this percentage point of equity changes, the Fengtian government is the well-deserved owner of the factory, how to develop in the future, it is not a matter for the Japanese to have the final say.

From this point of view, what Zhang Tinglan wants is just a head start, as for how many benefits, I really don't look at it, according to the Sino-Japanese joint venture, one percent of the shares are only 20,000 oceans, and now the maximum is only 50,000 oceans, for this money, it seems that it is not worth fighting so much.

But the meaning behind this is that 500,000 oceans, or even 5 million can't be exchanged, so Zhang Tinglan is still very satisfied. Okita and Okura Kihachiro's faces were extremely ugly at this time, Okita still had the heart to deny it, but he couldn't find a reason, and he didn't know the meaning of one percent, so he was a little stunned.

On the contrary, Zhang Tinglan continued to laugh and said: "We have made such a big concession, and I hope that the Japanese side can provide some loans, I think the tentative five million, of course, we will not use this money indiscriminately, all of them are used to purchase Japanese machines and introduce Japanese technicians, I don't know what the two of you think?"
