Looking at the whole of China, the most suitable area for coal and iron joint ventures is the Northeast, that is, Benxi, Anshan, Fushun and other places. Coal and iron resources are abundant, and the taste is extremely high, and the development value is great.That is to say, here is the foundation of China's heavy industry for future generations. Zhang Tinglan naturally knows that he has set his sights on this place for a long time.

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

The Japanese have shown crazy ambitions for coal and iron resources. Zhang Tinglan knows this clearly. As a country that is rapidly industrializing, 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 Fengtian's own heavy industry system. Without steel as a support, there would be no modern army. Therefore, it has been Zhang Tinglan's goal to incorporate Fengtian's resources into his own pocket. It can be said that the tip of the needle is right.

When Zhang Tinglan proposed to ask for the shares of the Coal and Iron Company, not only Kihachiro Okura, but even Shitian couldn't sit still, and they stared wide-eyed.Lao Zhang, a warlord, doesn't want guns, guns, or even money, but stares at the steel company. This has to make Shi Tian feel terrified. Zhang Zuolin's eyes are so vicious!

"Zhang Sang, the distribution of shares in the Coal and Iron Company was agreed between us and Qianqing, and it cannot be changed. Moreover, Mr. Okura cannot decide this. The Japanese government will never agree."

"Mr. Shitian, why did you forget what you said so quickly? Don't you have no opinion on how to solve it! May I ask whether the shares of Benxi Lake Coal and Iron Company are in the hands of the Japanese government or Okura? "

"Of course it is in the hands of Mr. Okura, but the products of Benxi Lake Coal and Iron Company are to supply Japan's military needs. At present, China and Japan each hold 50.00% of the shares, which is already the biggest concession of the empire. Don't wishful thinking!"

Zhang Tinglan sneered: "What you are talking about is the product supply issue, which has nothing to do with the company's equity. Even if Fengtian has the controlling power, we still have to sell it to the Japanese."

What Zhang Tinglan said is correct, Fengtian does not yet have the ability to consume a large amount of steel.Still have to sell to the Japanese.But it doesn't mean there will be no future. As long as you hold the controlling stake in your hands, you can lead the business strategy in the future. Of course, Zhang Tinglan will not say such words.

"No matter what, the Benxi Lake Coal and Iron Company involves Japan's national interests. It has exceeded the scope of our agreement. Please change the terms."

"As long as Japan's interests are involved, you are so domineering. Then you send killers to assassinate the Chinese officials, isn't it an act of declaring war?"

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

"Well, it's irrelevant. Is Date Junnosuke an active military officer in Japan? How many of the murderers are serving in the army? If Japan doesn't mind. Let's announce it and see what the international community thinks. The Japanese government is innocent!"

Faced with Zhang Tinglan's stern questioning, Shi Tian's momentum also weakened.Although he said that he had nothing to do with the Japanese government, in fact he did not have the acquiescence of the military, and Junnosuke Date did not dare to act so recklessly. After all, they represented the official will of Japan.

Zhang Tinglan saw that Shitian's momentum had weakened, and continued: "Mr. Shitian, if the Japanese government insists on intervening in the transaction between us and Okura, then Fengtian can only announce the truth of the matter. If you can exercise restraint, I can guarantee that this will not happen." It's just a change in equity, and it will definitely not affect the interests of Japan. On the contrary, we can expand the scale of the steel plant and carry out more in-depth cooperation with you.

Shitian's face was livid, he stared at Zhang Tinglan, and said viciously: "You are threatening the Japanese government, are you not afraid of our revenge? The Japanese imperial army can kill Fengtian at any time and crush you all!"

Zhang Tinglan looked at Shitian, and he was not worried. As the saying goes, a dog that bites does not show its teeth. Now that Shitian is yelling so fiercely, he must not be ready for war. It is just to scare people. Since it is scary , Zhang Tinglan will not be polite.

"Mr. Shitian, the little Fengtian will definitely not be able to defeat your majestic Japanese Empire, and we will not hit a stone with an egg. We can only run away when you come over." At this point, 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 be in chaos, and even Russia will be in chaos. The entire Eastern Front will be in chaos. I think that as a member of the Allied Powers, the Japanese will not Would love to see this day!"

Everyone here never imagined that Zhang Tinglan would come up with such an unbelievable idea. When the Japanese attacked us, Fengtian didn't want to fight, but broke the cans and smashed them to disturb Russia.

It seems crazy, but these words are indeed very deterrent. Without the containment of the Eastern Front, maybe Germany can quickly sweep Britain and France, and the world structure will change drastically by then, and the Japanese really cannot bear the consequences. And Britain and France will not take this risk.

Shi Tian was trembling with anger, pointed at Zhang Tinglan, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "You are playing a rascal! "

"Facing the murderer, whatever method we use is justified!"

Shitian was at a loss for words, and sat on the grand teacher's chair blankly, but his mind was spinning crazily. Whether or not he should hand over the controlling stake is indeed too difficult to decide. Coal and iron are the lifeblood of Japan. Without sufficient steel, how does Japan make guns and cannons, and how does it build huge battleships.

But if he refused, Zhang Zuolin released the evidence in his hands, and the Japanese government would soon face an unprecedented crisis with unpredictable consequences. It was really too difficult to make a choice. Shitian closed his eyes in pain, and said nothing.

Zhang Tinglan's eyes fell on Okura Kihachiro again, and said with a sneer: "Mr. Okura, you have been in business for many years, and you must understand that the most important thing for a businessman is reputation. How can you gain a foothold in the business world when you say that someone will cooperate with you?"

Okura Kihachiro's mind has long been confused. As a wealthy chaebol, Okura's thinking is not the same as that of losing land. If Zhang Zuolin publishes the criminal evidence, no matter how the Japanese government responds, one thing is certain. That is to say, Da Cang must be ruined, and even doomed.

After all, the weight of Naniwa Kawashima acting as a scapegoat is too light, and he probably won't be able to escape, so what is placed in front of Okura is not a question of agreeing or disagreeing, but a choice between cutting his flesh or losing his head.

After thinking about this, Okura Kihachiro gritted his teeth and said, "The shares of Benxi Lake Coal and Iron Company can be negotiated, but you must not give 20.00% to you, and you must sign a sales agreement to ensure that the products are given priority to the Japanese military."

As soon as Da Cang said this, a smile appeared on Zhang Tinglan's face, and finally broke through a gap, building a steel plant from scratch, not only requires a huge investment, but also requires a suitable site selection, and talent training. There is no time for a few years, it is impossible to do it at all, and now is the time to wait.

If I can take advantage of this opportunity to obtain the controlling power and use the equity to make steady progress so that Benxi Lake Coal and Iron Company can be used by me, it is undoubtedly the best shortcut, especially this factory has also poured the Japanese's hard work into it. The factory established by the Japanese turns around and beats the Japanese. There is nothing so comfortable in this world.

"The sales agreement can be signed, but the term must be limited, no more than five years, and the price should also refer to the market price. As for the shares, it can be reduced to 18.00%."

Da Cang shook his head like a rattle. He currently controls 50.00% of the shares, and he gave up 18.00%, which is equivalent to one-third. How could he agree.

"15.00%, this is the final limit, otherwise our deal cannot be negotiated."

Okura Kihachiro was caught in a dilemma for a while, and suddenly Shitian said: "One or two percentage points are negotiable, but ten or twenty percentage points are not at all. You don't want to take advantage of it."

"Okay, as Mr. Shitian said, we only need [-]% of the shares, and we're done!"

Shi Tian was stunned. He had never seen such a negotiation before. Just now he insisted that 15.00% was the bottom line. How could it become [-]% in a blink of an eye? This caught everyone off guard.

In fact, in Zhang Tinglan's view, not to mention one percent, even zero tenths of a percent are fine, because it means absolute controlling power. Originally, the two sides were evenly matched. The Japanese control the management and control the sales, which is equivalent to turning the factory into a factory. It became their own, but once the [-]% shareholding changed, the Fengtian government would be the well-deserved master of the factory, and how it would develop in the future was not up to the Japanese to decide.

From this point of view, what Zhang Tinglan wants is just an opportunity. As for the benefits, I really don’t see it in my eyes. According to the Sino-Japanese joint venture, [-]% of the shares are only [-] oceans. But [-] oceans, for this little money, it seems that it is not worth fighting for.

But the meaning behind this is 50 oceans, and even 500 million cannot be exchanged, so Zhang Tinglan is still very satisfied.Both Shida and Okura Kihachiro looked extremely ugly at this time, Shida still wanted to deny it, but he couldn't find a reason. In addition, he was not very clear about the meaning of this one percent, so he was a little surprised.

On the contrary, Zhang Tinglan continued to laugh and said: "We have made such a big concession, and we hope that Japan can provide some loans. I think it is tentatively set at 500 million. Of course, we will not use the money indiscriminately. All of it will be used to purchase Japanese goods. Machines, imported Japanese technicians, what do you two think?" (To be continued...)
