Chapter 814: Ghosts and Snake Gods

Secus wanted to change Li Zitao's idea of ​​supporting the Far East, and pay more attention to the European war and market, which was also taking place and continued to spread.

Li Zitao felt a little embarrassed, rubbed his chin with his hands and said: "Sekus, it is Washington's decision to support the Far East against Japan, besides, it is my hometown.

It's not doing me or Mobil any good, so why should I? "

"You'll have the friendship of the Samuel family and the Shell board...at the same time, we're ready to formally invite Mobil to join the Shell board."

Secus deliberately paused to emphasize the word 'Mobil', looking at Li Zitao with a flash of vigilance in his eyes.

It was unanimously approved by the Shell board of directors to let Mobil join the Shell board of directors instead of Li Zitao or his blue and white chamber of commerce.

He is like a greedy leech. Li's holdings has grown to today's scale. How many bank founders have been kicked out? I'm afraid even he himself has forgotten?

"Sekus, you have given me a difficult problem!" Li Zitao showed bitterness.

"Charlie, you should also think more about your friends, this is your home." Saikus stood up and pointed to the surrounding artworks in high spirits: "Look here, these are the most real , practical."

"I will seriously consider it, thank you." Li Zitao said with a long smile.

…………

Two days later, at the Mobil shareholder meeting, the supply contract related to Shell was brought up again, and the Samuel family did not only do his work alone.

"Europe is closely related to the Americas. We have just reached a secondary supply contract with Shell. If we suddenly go back at this time, it will affect Mobil's reputation."

"Reputation? What reputation does Mobil need? We control more than half of the world's oil supply, providing energy for many countries, thousands of factories and enterprises, and the travel of millions of people...Want a trophy?"

"Mobil is a huge multinational conglomerate, we need to consider all aspects of impact... If we break the contract without reason, what will other companies and institutions think?

They will feel that their "fate" is in the hands of others, which is difficult for anyone to accept. "

"We can take this opportunity to ask for... a seat on the board, put our people in it, more voting rights."

Everyone had a heated discussion, and the people who supported the observance of the contract and the development of the Far East market seemed similar.

But when arguing, their attention was actually on the first two people.

Li Zitao's equity represents Rush and Rockefeller's equity represents Elan Sticknard.

"Ahem, gentlemen." Out of respect for Elan, Rush smiled at him and spoke first: "Actually, Shell is willing to sell some of its shares and interests in exchange for Mobil's support.

However, the support for the Far East is jointly decided by Washington and Congress. This is related to the future development of the United States and its interests in the Far East, as well as our interests. "

"That's right, thankfully~~" Elan said with a smile: "Just last night, we have reached a friendly agreement with Japan."

After glancing at everyone's curious faces, Elan continued: "The oil reserve transfer center in Osaka will be handed over to Mobil for operation from the near future.

The port in Osaka Bay will be leased to us at a price of 51,300 per year for ten years, on the condition that the share of oil supplied to Japan increases by 20,000 barrels per month. "

Seeing everyone watching each other, there was no intention to speak. Rush continued: "With the transit center in Osaka, the oil reserves in the Persian Gulf will be diverted from here to Pearl and Vladivostok, which will be more conducive to the development of the entire Far East."

"Supplying oil to both warring and hostile countries at the same time...will they agree?" someone asked incredulously.

"Of course, it was part of the agreement that Japan would get more energy to fight the war, since the Germans had betrayed them anyway.

"

Rush spread his hands and said jokingly, if the little man hadn't sold Little Japan with one hand, and forced Japan to give up expanding the Nomenkan campaign.

The tough hawks in the Japanese base camp yelled frantically, 'Revenge, shame. '

Some people rushed to the gate of the Emperor’s Mansion, with a white cloth tied on their head, grabbed a samurai sword and stabbed themselves in the stomach, shouting, ‘Long live the Emperor, the Empire of Japan will surely win! '

Nima, the emperor peed his pants because of your scare!

…………

Although there is a prerequisite for the little man to turn his face first, the process for Mobil to obtain the right to operate the transit center in Osaka was not as easy as imagined.

Representatives of the two sides held 9 emergency talks within two days, and conducted detailed discussions and constraints on details such as how to transfer work and the direction of operation after the transfer.

It was Li Zitao who came forward in person, coercing and luring, positioning Mobil's main target market in the Soviet Union, and the cooperation of the Mitsui Zaibatsu.

This is a purely commercial cooperation, although both parties are well aware of what is going on.

Regarding the supply of oil to the Far East, Japan has established strict audit terms and regulations.

Not only that, but when the oil enters the Pearl, it must be inspected and dispatched by the puppet Wang government.

The famous "No. 76 Devil's Cave" is responsible for receiving it at No. 76, Mingzhu Jisifeier Road.

Since Mingzhu was captured by the Japanese, the puppet Wang government was established in accordance with the requirements and support of the Japanese, and the actions of various intelligence agencies and assassination organizations became more and more unscrupulous.

The Pearl at the present stage can be said to be a mixed bag, with ghosts and monsters from all walks of life appearing one after another, especially the No. 76 intelligence agency of the puppet Wang government.

Torturing and killing anti-Japanese activists, blackmailing businessmen and patriots, and making things difficult for ordinary people, extortion and kidnapping are commonplace.

Mingzhu was originally the largest rice consumption and distribution center in the country. With the occupation of the Japanese army, rice grains began to be controlled.

At this time, the price of rice and grain rose from fourteen yuan per load to forty-five yuan. The soaring price made the people miserable.

Moreover, half of the rice eaten by Mingzhu people is shipped from Changshu and Taicang. This kind of rice is not easy to store for a long time. Only Siamese rice shipped from overseas can be stored for a long time.

Siamese rice is also the so-called Thai fragrant rice. This kind of rice can last for a long time after being baked by a machine, and it has been looted in the market.

The hungry and cold poor had no choice but to take risks and robbed rice stores and grain trucks in groups, thus forming a unique landscape of "sweeping rice".

The looted rice grains scattered on the ground became the target of many families who could not afford food. They bent over with brooms and carefully searched for the fallen rice grains on the road. These rice grains found were their dinner today.

Severe winter is even more of a nightmare for the citizens of Mingzhu. Every morning when they wake up, someone around them will turn into a stiff corpse and leave forever.

And in the streets and alleys, there were also people who rushed to 'contain' the dead bodies early.

They looked for people who had frozen to death, and stripped the corpses of everything that could be used, from patched clothes, torn shoes, torn straw mats or bowls.

No matter how broken or dirty they are, they will be taken away without hesitation. In the end, only naked corpses and garbage are left.
