Chapter 827: Another Giant Net
"No, no, no, boss, I know exactly how capable I am. You've given me too much."
Lin Tianbao said seriously: "Minglan said that if a family like ours suddenly had too much money, it would attract other people's attention, which is not a good thing for us."
Chen Yang looked at Lin Tianbao's sincere eyes, and suddenly something happened in his mind: "Okay, if you really don't want so much money, I have a good idea."
"I will give you 2% dividends, and the other 3% will be put into the Huafu Fund. This fund was jointly established by me and some British nobles."
"You should interact with them more in the future, it will help you in the future."
Lin Tianbao was stunned for a moment: "Dealing with the British?"
Chen Yang patted Lin Tianbao on the shoulder and said, "Dabao, people should always leave a way out for themselves."
Lin Tianbao nodded, not quite understanding...
After seeing Lin Tianbao off, Chen Yang played with the check left by Lin Tianbao on the table, looking a little dazed.
If it weren’t for what Lin Tianbao said today, Chen Yang might not have thought about arranging a retreat for Lin Tianbao in the future.
Subconsciously, Chen Yang believed that as long as he was given enough money, he should have no problem protecting himself no matter what happened in the future.
Lin Tianbao's action today couldn't help but make Chen Yang feel a little sad, wondering if he was too selfish.
When the Japanese surrender, he can just leave, but what about these brothers, including Lin Tianbao, Gao Tianjiu, Ma Yongzhen, Fang Shijie, and even Song Jiayu?
If they stay in the country, it will be a dead end...
Suddenly, Chen Yang's eyes lit up. Isn't weaving webs what he is best at?
Now I am only weaving a big network in China, but if I take a bigger step and weave a huge network in the whole Southeast Asia, it is not impossible.
If Malaysia gets a few Datuks, Myanmar gets a few leaders, Laos, Vietnam, Brunei, Singapore, and even the Philippines, plus Japan, Hong Kong Island and other places, it is entirely possible to create a giant network that others cannot imagine.
With his own capabilities and the current resources of the Japanese, he can dominate the entire Southeast Asia.
Moreover, now is the best time. The Japanese are preparing to move south, and Shell owes me a large sum of compensation. It seems that I have both the right time and the right place.
All is ready except for the opportunity.
As for how this east wind came...
Before Chen Yang could finish his thoughts, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Come in." Chen Yang said in a deep voice.
He Yuehua pushed open the door and said, "Minister, Mr. Archimonde is here."
Wow, it turns out that whatever you think comes true.
I was just wondering where the east wind would come from, and now it’s here…
"Please ask him to come in and make a cup of coffee for Mr. Archimonde." Chen Yang's mood instantly improved.
He Yuehua bowed slightly and hurried out to pass on the message.
Not long after, the sound of crisp leather shoes was heard. Archimonde, still dressed like a gentleman, slowly pushed open the office door and walked in under the guidance of He Yuehua.
"Mr. Archimonde, I'm so happy to meet you. I hope you have good news for me today." Chen Yang stood up and greeted him with a smile.
"Of course. This should be good news for Mr. Chen." Archimonde responded gently.
Chen Yang bowed slightly and said, "That's good. Please sit down."
After He Yuehua placed two cups of coffee in front of the two people, she bowed and walked out.
Chen Yang picked up the coffee and took a sip, saying, "Has Shell headquarters agreed to my terms?"
Archimonde hesitated for a moment and said, "Minister Chen, your request is too high. It is difficult for us to agree to all of it."
"However, at my request, the headquarters also compromised."
"Now, the headquarters has given the final reply that in addition to returning the funds you used to purchase the oil, we can give you 110 million US dollars in compensation."
Chen Yang's face darkened: "What else?"
Archimonde said slowly: "According to your request, we can transfer two oil fields in Myanmar to you."
"The two oil fields in Nanyang that are being jointly developed with the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce can also be transferred to you, but there is a requirement that you must pay the corresponding price for all the equipment."
"You should have no problem with that, right?"
"We calculated that after deducting depreciation for all the equipment, you will pay us $34 million."
Chen Yang mocked, "Mr. Archimonde, you Shell Company are really good at calculating."
"There are four oil fields, and two of them are developed in cooperation. All the equipment combined cost less than 30 million US dollars. And you told me you want to charge me 34 million US dollars for a pile of junk."
"Do you really think those things are inlaid with gold?"
Archimonde remained calm and smiled, "Minister Chen, I know you also have two oil fields in Myanmar, one large and one small, but you have to understand that once the oil field equipment is dismantled, many things will become unusable."
"Besides, shouldn't the labor and transportation costs be charged to you?"
"We have already lost a lot of money and can't afford to post more."
Chen Yang pondered for a moment and said slowly: "What about the rubber plantation and oil?"
Archimonde said in a gentle voice, "These two problems are not serious. You can always send someone to take over the rubber plantation in Malaysia. However, I would like to remind you that the rubber plantation requires a large number of manpower to maintain it. The price of rubber in the international market is volatile right now."
"If you insist on taking it away, I'm afraid you'll have to pay for the labor costs."
Chen Yang waved his hand, "That's my business, don't worry about it."
Archimonde shrugged and said, "Well, then I wish you good luck."
"By the way, I have to apologize for the oil issue. The headquarters replied that since the North African oil fields have not been able to produce normally recently, they need to draw some of the military supply to give to you."
"In order not to affect the normal military operations of the Imperial Army, they promised to deliver 20 million worth of oil to Japan by the end of October."
Chen Yang was stunned. End of October?
If I remember correctly, the Japanese officially decided to launch a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in mid-November.
So, is this just an amazing historical coincidence? Or has the gears of fate never changed?
Archimonde looked at Chen Yang's silent expression and thought that the other party was not satisfied with these conditions, and his expression couldn't help but become a little nervous.
Frankly speaking, this was the limit of what he could do. The response from headquarters was that no other conditions could be added under any circumstances.
Chen Yang's bite almost cost them their lives.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Yang's voice slowly rang out, "Okay, I guess this is your bottom line. I can accept these conditions..."
I didn’t expect that I could write two chapters. Now I’m beginning to admire myself.
Some people in the comment area questioned whether the author was really sick. I was surprised. I am not Xiao Huijun. There is no reason to joke about my own body. Attached is a copy of yesterday's test report. Whether it is true or not, you can tell at a glance...
