Chapter 807: Money and Oil, I Must See One
Most of Shell's oil was supplied to the British Navy.
Without the oil fields in North Africa, if Madison wants to raise $100 million in oil, he will have to turn his attention to the British mainland.
How can this be?
Britain has the most powerful navy, which is a monster that devours oil. Without oil, the Royal Navy would become a joke.
Someone once said this.
If the Soviet Union lost its navy, it would be like wearing pants without underwear. Although there would be some air leakage, it could be tolerated.
If the United States loses its Pacific Fleet, it would be like an adult without his right hand. Although he will not die, his weak points will be visible at a glance.
But if the British lost their Royal Navy, it would be like being paralyzed from the eyebrows down.
Without its navy, Britain would have only one outcome: to be annexed by other countries.
Therefore, even if Madison had great courage, he would not dare to touch the domestic oil, as that would be fatal.
Chen Yang didn't care about these problems. He gave money and the other party received the money, so he had to give oil of the same value.
He has no control over whether the oil was stolen or robbed.
The only thing he could do was that the oil was gone, and he had to recover the $300 million in compensation.
Knock, knock, knock on the door. Chen Yang said in a gentle voice, "Come in."
He Yuehua pushed open the door of the office and said to Chen Yang: "Minister, Sir Carl from the British Consulate is outside. He wants to see you and has something important to discuss with you."
"You're here to ask for mercy on behalf of Madison." Chen Yang muttered to himself.
"Please ask him to come in and make him a cup of coffee."
"Yes, Minister." He Yuehua bowed slightly and turned to go out to pass on the message.
After a while, the sound of footsteps was heard, and then Chen Yang saw Sir Carl's ingratiating smile.
"Mr. Carl, you are a rare guest," Chen Yang gave the other party enough face. When he saw Sir Carl coming in, he immediately stood up to greet him.
"Minister Chen, this place is pretty nice," Karl exclaimed sincerely as he looked at the various facilities in the office.
Most Chinese people prefer low-key luxury.
Compared with others, Chen Yang's office is just a little bigger, but what really shocked Carl was the display cabinet full of collections.
These things are obviously full of historical heritage. If you say they are just some ordinary handicrafts, Carl would never believe it.
After all, he is the consul of the British Empire, so he has some vision.
"Mr. Carl, you didn't travel across most of Shanghai to come to me just to see this, did you?" Chen Yang said in a casual tone.
Sir Carl smiled and said, "Minister Chen, let's not try again at this time. You obviously know what I'm here for."
Chen Yang did not deny it. He extended his hand to invite the other party to sit down, laughed, and said, "Mr. Karl, as far as I know, your relationship with Mr. Madison is not very good."
"Why would you come to me for someone you don't like?"
Sir Carl took a sip of the coffee on the table and said slowly: "Minister Chen, when we are in a position like this, how can we do things based on our personal likes and dislikes?"
"To tell you the truth, Shell headquarters already knows about Madison's situation."
"The headquarters of the contract he signed with you were very shocked when they learned the number."
"What are you shocked about?" Chen Yang smiled and said, "They weren't shocked when they took the money, so why would they be shocked when they have to pay back the money?"
"Chinese people often say that in business, there are times when you get to eat meat, but there are also times when you get beaten."
"It's Mr. Madison's fault that he was too greedy. He could have cooperated with others to take over the order, but he was too arrogant and thought that there would be no problem with Shell's resources."
"It's war time now, and everyone's eyes are on resources. It's normal for accidents to happen. Haha."
Sir Carl fell silent after hearing this. After a while, he hesitated and said, "Minister Chen, Shell wants you to give us a little more time?"
Chen Yang laughed: "Sir Carl, do you think this is a problem that can be solved by giving it more time?"
"Shell's oil fields in North Africa have been destroyed. Most of the oil in Asia needs to be supplied to the domestic navy. I'll give him some time. This won't be difficult."
"But how long will it take him? One month, two months, or a year or two?"
"Do you think they can scrape together that oil if they're given time?"
Carl was speechless. Although Chen Yang's tone was full of ridicule when he said this, he had to admit that Chen Yang was right.
Madison’s problem cannot be solved by delaying for ten days or half a month.
Unless the supply of North African oil can be restored in a short period of time, but this is more difficult than negotiating with Chen Yang.
The Germans would not speak to them calmly.
"Okay." Sir Carl had obviously given up the idea of persuading Chen Yang. He shrugged and said, "I have done what I should do anyway. The rest is out of my control."
Chen Yang smiled and said, "Sir Carl, please go back and tell Madison."
"There are still more than two months until the contract expires."
"If Madison can't provide the oil during this period, then let him collect the compensation as soon as possible."
"I have to see the difference between money and oil."
Sir Carl frowned slightly and said, "I'm afraid Madison can't come up with so much oil, let alone so much money."
Chen Yang smiled faintly and said, "That's my business."
"Sir Carl, you should know that no one in Shanghai can owe me, Chen Yang, a debt..."

Shanghai Stock Exchange, Special High Section.
Several days have passed since the last time he copied manuscripts. During these days, Matsushima Hisao and several colleagues from the Special High Section's technical department have been studying the issue of who the traitor is.
The insider was able to hide in the upper echelons for such a long time without being discovered. He not only had extremely strong psychological qualities, but also acted very cautiously.
Otherwise, there would be no way that not a single clue would be left out.
Hisao Matsushima and his colleagues in the technical department continued to analyze who the traitor might be through handwriting and photos secretly taken by the technical department.
After repeated arguments and various evidence support, Matsushima Hisao and others eliminated four of the nine suspected persons.
Of course, what they are doing now is not to find the suspect, on the contrary, they want to eliminate those who are not suspicious from the list.
At this point, the only people on the list were Colonel Nobuo Takeda of the Special Affairs Division, Lieutenant Colonel Toshihide Ando, Colonel Konankichi of the Information Division, Deputy Director Kenichi Yamagishi of the Chinese Affairs Division, and Director Isao Nakanishi...
