Chapter 522 Perfect Layout
"We?" Fujiwara Nao was slightly stunned and said, "I have no interest in business, and oil fields are not business."
"This is an extremely important resource for the empire. No one can joke about it, not even me."
Chen Yang said with a smile: "Mr. Fujiwara, the oil field is certainly not a business, nor a joke, but I have an idea."
"You are very familiar with the local situation, so you will naturally be aware of the current predicament of the Black Dragon Society."
"It can be said that since the expiration of the Japan-US trade agreement in September last year, all local industries have suffered an unprecedented impact, and the Black Dragon Society's transportation industry is no exception."
"My aunt has decided to join hands with Yamamoto Yoshi to promote the transformation of the Black Dragon Society's business from a single transportation industry to a diversified one."
"In the future, the main business of the Black Dragon Society will no longer be transportation, but will focus on warehousing and retail."
"But this goal is not easy to achieve. The most fundamental reason is that the Black Dragon Society needs industry to support its transformation."
Fujiwara Nao suddenly realized, "You want the Black Dragon Society to open an oil refinery?"
"I know that my wife has obtained a position as a director of the Black Dragon Society for you. However, you only have one vote, and such a proposal will not pass the board of directors."
"Besides, you are a Chinese. The Empire will not be confident in giving the oil field development rights to a Chinese."
"Chen Yang, you know I don't mean to belittle you, but I hope you understand that this is the truth."
"Mr. Fujiwara, I didn't say that I wanted the agency rights for oil field development," Chen Yang shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I want Okita-kun to do this."
"Are you going to let Jingsi do these?" Fujiwara Nao looked at Chen Yang with some surprise.
"This kid doesn't understand the twists and turns inside, you pull him in..."
Chen Yang smiled and said, "We don't need him to understand, as long as he is there, that's enough."
Fujiwara Naoio frowned and reacted instantly.
"I understand, Chen Yang, your target is the Mitsui Zaibatsu?"
Sure enough, Chen Yang couldn't help but applaud Fujiwara Nao. This father-in-law had a good brain and guessed Chen Yang's plan at once.
That’s right, Chen Yang’s target is the Mitsui Zaibatsu, and he wants to snatch the cooperation agreement of the Mitsui Zaibatsu from Yamamoto Yoshi.
Yamamoto Yoshi and Li Xianshu have the same goal, they want to promote reforms and change the current structure of the Black Dragon Society.
The most critical one among these is the Mitsui Zaibatsu.
The Black Dragon Society has already exchanged four ports for 136 retail outlets owned by Mitsui & Co., but this is just the beginning of its layout.
If both parties need to cooperate in depth, they need to exchange interests.
Next, the Black Dragon Society will take advantage of the warehousing capabilities of major ports and cooperate with the Mitsui Zaibatsu to transport materials to various locations.
This matter has always been led by Yamamoto Yoshi, so the Manchurian Railway has always tended to support Yamamoto Yoshisaburo.
If he wanted to break this situation, he would have to seek greater benefits and urge the top management of the Mitsui Zaibatsu to abandon Yamamoto Yoshi and cooperate with him instead.
The oil field is a very good cooperation project.
As long as we get the agency rights of the three oil fields, the Mitsui Zaibatsu will naturally come to us for cooperation.
Moreover, they are in the process of acquiring the Imperial Bank. If this case is successful, the Mitsui Zaibatsu will firmly surpass the other zaibatsu.
Being able to establish a relationship with the Mitsui Zaibatsu at this time would not only benefit the Fujiwara family, but also the Black Dragon Society.
The most important thing is that the position of Keiji Okita as the agent is neither too far nor too close, just right.
Fujiwara Nao himself feels deeply guilty towards this mother and son, and he will definitely spare no effort to help Okita Keiji.
If this matter could be negotiated, Yamamoto Yoshisaburo would have no way to compete with Chen Yang.
Did Yamamoto Yoshisaburo really think that just a little bit of supplies could make Chen Yang so flustered and overwhelmed? It seemed that he underestimated Chen Yang's vision.
This is a situation that benefits many parties, and Chen Yang is sure that Fujiwara Nao will not refuse.
Sure enough, after taking a sip of tea, Fujiwara Nao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll think about this when I get back."
"Don't think about it," Chen Yang said with a smile, "I have asked Mr. Guangben and Mr. Sato to send a telegram to the local area."
“You just need to take the lead.”
"As for the location and equipment of the oil refinery, you don't need to worry. The United States is already working on the arrangements. I believe all the equipment will be installed before April and put into production quickly."
"According to the data I have obtained, if the contract with the Americans is not negotiated, the Empire's oil reserves will only be enough for three months of consumption at most."
"There will be an oil shortage by the end of April, which will slow down Mr. Mine's plans."
Fujiwara Nao looked at Chen Yang with some surprise.
Chen Yang smiled and said, "Mr. Fujiwara, you don't have to look at me like that. You and the president have made the same choice. The president also hopes that the navy can achieve sufficient results, so that the major ports can regain their glory, and the Black Dragon Society's transportation business will be more stable."
"What I am doing now is just to connect everyone together and take care of each other. Therefore, the oil field development rights are what we need, not what I need."
Fujiwara Nao smiled helplessly and said, "So, you have also found a target for cooperation with the Mitsui Zaibatsu?"
Chen Yang sighed and said, "The other party has not yet officially responded, but if we can get the agency rights for the development of those oil fields, he will definitely agree."
"Very good, not too hurried, but cautious, brave and resourceful." Fujiwara Nao put down his teacup and said, "I'll do this. I'll talk to Jingji tomorrow and ask him to come back to Japan with me."
"You wait here for my good news."
"By the way, Hanako is not young anymore, you should not slack off on what you should do."
"Yuta already has two children, and she, as an aunt, still has no reaction at all."
"Ah." Chen Yang opened his mouth subconsciously, but no words came out.
I mean, shouldn't this kind of thing just happen naturally?
The next day, Shanghai Stock Exchange, Material Transportation Center.
Near noon, the Chinese Expeditionary Force's Logistics Department called and said that the Japanese Chamber of Commerce's supplies had been counted and successfully put into storage.
Citibank then delivered the borrowed yen to the logistics department.
Two-thirds of the material collection task assigned by General Nishio has been completed, and there is still a part of the materials that Chen Yang needs to collect as soon as possible.
Chen Yang agreed readily and promised solemnly that the three-day deadline would not be exceeded even for a single day.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yang called Li Qun and asked him to prepare some people and send them to Meihua Tower as soon as possible.
To deal with the Japanese Chamber of Commerce, you can use the tiger's skin and act as a big banner.
If you want to deal with the Manchuria Railway Investigation Bureau, you have to be serious about it.
Otherwise, people won't be afraid of you at all.
After receiving the call, Li Qun did not dare to ask any more questions. He immediately asked Wan Tianmu and Li Zuping to select twenty good players and rush to Meihua Tower as soon as possible.
