Chapter 818 Asking for a high price, pay back on the spot

"Of course I have no objection." Archimonde's expression was sincere, as if he would admit his mistakes.

"However, there are still more than two months before the contract expires. The headquarters sent me here to try their best."

Chen Yang was a little confused and asked, "Strive for it? What do you want to strive for?"

Archimonde took a big sip of brandy and said, "Headquarters believes that when this contract was signed, Madison did not fully consider the various layouts of the headquarters."

“So, this contract is problematic.”

"Of course, Minister Chen, please don't misunderstand. We don't want to deny this contract."

"The headquarters wants to cancel this contract and sign a new one with the same conditions. We will still collect 100 million yuan of oil resources for you."

"However, the time period will be divided into two years. We will provide you with crude oil worth US$5 million every month after the contract is signed."

"It will continue until the contract expires, which means you only need to deliver 100 million, and we will provide you with oil worth 120 million US dollars."

After two years, the daylily has become cold...

Chen Yang chuckled and said, "Two years? Mr. Archimonde, do you think I will have so much time to give you?"

"Besides, if I didn't need the oil urgently, I wouldn't have transferred the entire transaction amount to your account at once before I even saw the goods."

"I paid out real money. I cannot accept the way you handled it."

Archimonde seemed to have expected Chen Yang's reaction. He sighed and said, "In this case, we have a second plan."

"The headquarters will return the money you paid for the oil, and give you 30 million U.S. dollars in compensation, as well as 50 million dollars worth of oil."

"The money will be deposited into your account within a week after you sign the contract to waive liability."

"As for the 50 million tons of oil, we will deliver it to Japan in three batches within six months."

"Oh, the 300 million US dollars in compensation turned into 80 million in one hand?" Chen Yang joked: "Mr. Archimonde, do I look like an idiot to you?"

Archimonde remained calm and said, "Minister Chen, don't worry. This is the solution given by the headquarters."

"Whether you accept it or not is up to you. Of course, if I were in your shoes, I wouldn't accept such a solution either."

"However, you should know that my purpose in coming to China is to solve problems, not to create them."

"If you are not satisfied with this solution, we can discuss something else."

“For example, what are your demands?”

Chen Yang smiled and said, "Mr. Archimonde may not be very clear. I am actually also from the intelligence field."

"In addition to being the Minister of the Joint Transportation Department, I am also the Deputy Director of the Jinling Special Commission."

"Since I knew Mr. Madison couldn't fulfill the contract properly, I did a little homework."

"Now that the Netherlands has been occupied by the Germans, it is indeed a bit unrealistic to ask you to pay 300 million in compensation."

"I asked the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in the UK to calculate Shell's current assets and come up with the best solution."

As he spoke, Chen Yang took out a report written in English from his briefcase and handed it to Archimonde, saying, "This is the plan I asked someone to make. Please take a look."

Archimonde took the plan from Chen Yang's hand and just glanced at it; his face suddenly changed.

After a while, Archimonde sneered and said, "Minister Chen, your appetite is too big."

"One hundred and seventy million US dollars in compensation, two oil fields in Indonesia, two oil fields in Myanmar, one oil field in Southeast Asia, and three rubber plantations in Malaysia."

"What you want is worth more than three hundred million."

Chen Yang shook his head and said, "Mr. Archimonde, the income from these oil fields and rubber plantations does seem to be very rich, but the situation is different now."

"All countries in the world are competing for resources. Do you think Shell can still hold on to these resources if a war breaks out in Southeast Asia?"

“Moreover, as far as I know, the three rubber plantations in Malaysia were also developed in cooperation with local Malaysian officials.”

"They are the ones who will benefit the most. I purchased your shares at a price of 10 million US dollars."

"Minister Chen, I really don't know how to describe your ambition." Archimonde threw the report on the table and said, "Shell headquarters will not accept such conditions as yours."

“Even if the headquarters is willing to bear the compensation of 170 million, they will still have to pay five more oil fields and three more rubber plantations.”

"Minister Chen, you are planning to take away most of the results of Shell's efforts in Asia over the years."

"Not to mention the people from the head office, no Shell shareholder would sign this."

Chen Yang took a sip of brandy and smiled, "Mr. Archimonde, don't worry. There is a saying in China that goes, 'If you ask for a high price, you should pay it back on the spot.'"

"I am not satisfied with the conditions you offer, and you dare not agree to the conditions I offer."

"None of these are issues, and we can strike a balance in our agreement that everyone finds acceptable."

"When doing business, isn't it all about giving and taking? No one sets a price."

Archimonde's expression eased slightly, he picked up the report again and examined it, then said slowly, "Minister Chen's words make sense."

"Shell would not joke with its reputation."

"I'll keep your report for now and let the board of directors study it later."

"There is a Chinese saying that even if the deal fails, the friendship remains."

"We have finished talking about the serious matters. It's time to go out and relax."

Relax? Chen Yang laughed, put down his glass, and followed Archimonde out of the side hall.

Shanghai, VIP room on the seventh floor of Chinachem Hotel.

Mogayev walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a white bath towel. The slightly reddish skin on his body showed that the water temperature in his shower was obviously higher than normal.

"Mr. Moggev, are you satisfied with our arrangement?" Rogers spoke to the other party in fluent English.

"Mr. Rogers, to be honest, I was born a soldier, so I don't have very high demands for material things." Mogayev said as he wiped his wet hair with a towel. "What I'm concerned about now is whether you can get so many drugs before the contract expires."

"As far as I know, the prices of medicines in Shanghai are still rising."

"It has now reached $140 per bottle."

"And there are less than 400 boxes of goods in your warehouse. This is not even half of it."

"I doubt whether you can get a thousand boxes together."

After a pause, Mogeyev opened his mouth, showing his sharp white teeth, and grinned, "Let me be frank. If you can't do it, your compensation will be a lot of money."
