Anti-Japanese War: I have a million soldiers and you call me a division commander?

Chapter 417: The top brother on the list paints a rosy picture for Chu Feng! Chu Feng: "It's a good picture, don't paint it next time!"

“You can sell it!”

Chu Feng agreed to the request of the No. 1 brother on the list without hesitation. Any hesitation for a second would be disrespectful to the No. 1 brother on the list.

"We have traded in the aircraft, so there is no change in price."

"As for tanks, our main product so far is the BT fast tank from the Bear Country. As for the price, it will be calculated according to the market price."

"As for refined oil, we also sell it."

"For all of the above, whether it's planes, tanks, or fuel, the greater your demand, the lower the price will naturally be."

"We are all fighting for the war, and we are all Chinese. Naturally, I am different from foreigners. Naturally, I want to buy more weapons and equipment from me at the price you pay for them."

At this point, Chu Feng looked at Minister Yang and said, "But these industrial equipment are a bit expensive, and we are not responsible for transportation. We will send them to Xi'an for you, and you will need to transport the rest by yourselves."

"Secondly, the industrial equipment we provide is mainly from the Bear Country. So please make a list of what production lines and equipment you need. I will give you a quote based on the cost price of purchasing from the Bear Country."

"The most I'll earn is shipping and labor fees. Secondly, I'll also connect you with technicians from the Bear Country to help you install and debug these production lines. But there's one thing: if you want the technology, you'll also need to pay for the technology licensing fee."

Hearing Chu Feng's words, Minister Yang nodded without hesitation and said, "General Chu, I know."

"As for the transportation issue, we understand that it is sufficient to deliver to Xi'an. We will arrange the personnel and vehicles for the transportation ourselves."

"We understand the technology licensing fees." Minister Yang said to Chu Feng with gratitude, "General Chu, thank you so much. We are naturally willing to trust you. I will go back and ask the government to finalize the specific purchase quantity, equipment, and production lines required."

At this point, Minister Yang seemed to have thought of something and said, "However, this transaction will involve a large amount of money. Our government is unable to come up with so much money at once, so I would like to discuss with you some method to offset and pay it."

After saying that, Minister Yang looked at Chu Feng nervously, fearing that Chu Feng would misunderstand that he was going to write an IOU.

"Ok!"

Chu Feng was not so nervous or overthinking. He pondered for a moment and said, "The supplies we require are generally mainly food, mines, and livestock."

"Considering that the government needs to purchase a large amount of weapons and equipment, which involves equipment transactions, this is another huge expense."

"Indeed, if we use traditional commodities like grain for trading, there are some shortcomings."

"The Nationalist government must also ensure the livelihood of the people in the Nationalist-controlled areas and not let them suffer from hunger."

At this point, Chu Feng looked at Minister Yang and said, "What do you think? Tell me what you think."

"Is such that!"

Seeing that Chu Feng didn't refuse and even showed an interested expression, Minister Yang's worries were put away, and he hurriedly said: "Doesn't our government want to develop the Yumen Oilfield? We have already dismantled two drilling equipment from the Yanchang Oilfield controlled by the Eighth Route Army, and oil is now being produced."

"Daily oil production has reached 10 tons, so we now have three options. The first is to mortgage the Yumen Oilfield to you. The second is to learn from the method you and the Eighth Route Army used to jointly exploit the Yanchang Oilfield and establish a joint oil company to be responsible for the exploitation."

"We use the dividends we earn to pay for the goods. The third option is to mine the oil ourselves and pay for the goods with it."

When saying this, Minister Yang stared at Chu Feng, trying to see some clues from his face and make some judgments.

It seems that the National Government represented by Minister Yang is at a disadvantage in the transaction with Chu Feng, but the National Government is not willing to be manipulated by you. They are not fools and also want to maximize their interests.

"oh?!"

After hearing about the Yumen Oilfield, Chu Feng showed a surprised expression, but after listening to these three, Chu Feng waved his hand and said, "Well, the Yumen Oilfield is a bit far from here."

"If I choose the first one, it's too far away. I'll also have to build all sorts of supporting facilities, which requires a lot of investment. The development of the Saibei border area requires a lot of money, and building an oil extraction base is a bit expensive."

"The second one is about the same as the first one. It's too far away and not worth it."

"Let's go with the third one. You can buy the mining equipment from me and use the oil you extract to pay for it."

Chu Feng knew that the government wanted to wait for a good price to maximize profits. Although he was coveting the Yumen Oilfield, Chu Feng also had his eyes on the Yanchang Oilfield and the oil base that was about to be established in the Hetao area. He was not short of oil, so he chose the third one.

One is that he can make money by selling equipment, and the other is that if he spends the government's money and extends his sphere of influence to the northwest in the future, all these will eventually be his.

Since it is his after all, Chu Feng naturally knows which is more cost-effective: paying for its construction or grabbing one for free.

“Ah?!~!!”

Chu Feng's answer caught Minister Yang off guard.

For Minister Yang and the national government, what they hope most is not that Chu Feng chooses the first or third option, but that he chooses the second option.

Because secondly, for them, they can use Chu Feng's funds to extract oil, and they can't just get something for nothing.

But the strongest way is to obtain oil and refined oil without investing any money. Although Chu Feng will take away part of the profit, the national government can accept it!

Now Chu Feng directly stated that he would not participate and only needed oil.

Wouldn't that mean they develop the oil themselves? It's true that most of the profits belong to them, but aren't they the ones who have to pay for the early and mid-term investments in oil extraction?

"General Chu, wouldn't you consider joint development between the two sides?" Minister Yang tried to struggle and asked Chu Feng.

"never mind!"

Chu Feng refused without hesitation: "There is too much construction needed in the Saibei Border Region. I can't spare much money and energy."

"Besides, it's not good for me to have too much control over our domestic oil production and oil industry."

"As the government, you must shoulder the government's responsibilities and develop our domestic petrochemical industry!"

Minister Yang is a little bit confused!

If Chu Feng didn't take the bait, their wishful thinking would fail.

Seeing Chu Feng's uninterested expression, Minister Yang wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and could only say, "Okay, General Chu, I will report your decision to the government."

"After the government makes a decision, we will sit down together to discuss the details."

Hearing Minister Yang's words, Chu Feng smiled and said, "Well, that's the best. Then I'll wait for Minister Yang's good news."

Minister Yang left with some melancholy.

After seeing Minister Yang off, Li Mingqiang just came back from outside and asked, "What are you doing here, Minister Yang?"

"Deliver the order to us, and see if you can trick me at the same time." Hearing Li Mingqiang's question, Chu Feng did not hide it and said with a smile.

"what?!!!"

Chu Feng's answer made Li Mingqiang stunned, and he began to think about the information contained in Chu Feng's words.
