Looking at the whole of China, the most suitable coal-iron joint ventures is the Northeast, namely Benxi, Anshan, Fushun and other places. It has rich coal-iron resources, high taste, and great development value. It is this place that nurtured the foundation of China's heavy industry in later generations. Zhang Tinglan naturally would not have known that he had long focused on this place.

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

The Japanese have already shown crazy ambitions for coal and iron resources. Zhang Tinglan knew this clearly. As a rapidly industrialized country, the demand for steel is quite amazing. However, the Japanese archipelago cannot provide it, so the Japanese will naturally turn their attention to the Northeast.

However, Zhang Tinglan has always hoped to establish a heavy industrial system that belongs to Fengtian. Without steel as a support, there would be no modern army. Therefore, it is Zhang Tinglan's goal that has always been to incorporate the resources belonging to Fengtian into his own pocket. Both sides are very particular about this issue.

When Zhang Tinglan proposed to ask for shares of the coal and iron company, not only Kihachiro Okura, but even Mita couldn't sit still. They stared at the boss. Lao Zhang, a warlord, didn't want guns, cannons, or even money, but stared at the steel company. This made Mita feel frightened. Is Zhang Zuolin's eyes so vicious?

"Zhang Sang, the distribution of shares of the coal and iron company was negotiated with the former Qing Dynasty and cannot be changed. Moreover, this is not something that Mr. Okura can decide, and the Japanese government will never agree."

"Mr. Mita, why did you forget what you said so quickly? Don't you have no objection to how to solve it? Is the shares of Benxi Lake Coal and Iron Company 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 need to supply Japan's military needs. Currently, both China and Japan each occupy 50% of the shares, which is the empire's biggest concession. Don't be foolish!"

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

Zhang Tinglan is right. Fengtian does not have the ability to consume a lot of steel for the time being. He still wants to sell it to the Japanese. But it does not mean that there will be no future. As long as you hold the controlling rights in your hands, you can dominate the business strategy in the future. Of course, Zhang Tinglan will not say this.

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

"As long as it involves Japanese interests, you are so domineering. Then, wouldn't it be a declaring war when you send killers and assassinate the Chinese chief officials?"

"Assassination has nothing to do with the Japanese government!"

"It's okay. Is Shunnosuke an active Japanese officer? How many of the murderers are in the army? If the Japanese side doesn't mind, let's make an announcement to see what the international view is, and will you think the Japanese government is innocent!"

Faced with Zhang Tinglan's stern questioning, Moda's momentum became weaker. Although he said that it had nothing to do with the Japanese government, he actually did not have the tacit approval of the military. People like Ida Shunnosuke did not dare to do so. After all, they represented the will of the Japanese official.

When Zhang Tinglan saw that Mita's momentum was weakened, he continued: "Mr. Mita, if the Japanese official insists on intervening in our transaction with Okura, then Fengtian can only announce the truth of the matter. If you can maintain restraint, I can guarantee that this is just a change in equity and will never affect the interests of Japan. On the contrary, we can also expand the scale of the steel plant and carry out deeper cooperation with you. Both sides will benefit and win-win. Where to go depends on the wisdom of you Japanese."

Hutian's face turned pale, he stared at Zhang Tinglan tightly, 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 Hu Tian, ​​and he was not worried. As the saying goes, a dog that bites people will not show his teeth. Hu Tian is so fierce now that he is definitely not ready for war. He is just scaring people. Since he talks about scary people, Zhang Tinglan will not be polite.

"Mr. Hutian, the little Fengtian will definitely not be able to defeat your dignified Japanese Empire. We will not hit the stone with eggs. If you attack, we can only escape." Speaking of this, Zhang Tinglan showed a sneer on his face: "Hundreds of thousands, millions of refugees will go north and flow to the Russian Far East. At that time, the Russian Far East will definitely be in chaos, and even Russia will be in chaos. The entire Eastern Front battlefield will be in chaos. I think as a member of the Allies, the Japanese will not want to see this day!"

Everyone here never expected that Zhang Tinglan would come up with such an incredible idea. The Japanese beat us, and Fengtian was not thinking about confronting us, but instead gave up and disturbed Russia.

It looks crazy, but these words are indeed very deterrent. Without the restraint of the Eastern Front, Germany may be able to sweep Britain and France quickly. The world situation will undergo drastic changes, and the Japanese will indeed not be able to bear this consequence, and Britain and France will not take this risk.

Shi Tian was so angry that he trembled. He pointed at Zhang Tinglan with his hand and squeezed out a sentence from his teeth, "You are playing a rogue!"

"When facing murderers, we are justified in any way!"

Motian was speechless and sat on the Taishi chair, but his mind was spinning wildly. Whether to hand over the controlling rights was indeed too difficult to decide. Coal and iron are the lifeblood of Japan. Without sufficient steel, how could Japan build guns and cannons and how to build huge battleships?

But if he refused, Zhang Zuolin released the evidence in his hand, and the Japanese government would immediately face an unprecedented crisis, with unpredictable consequences. This was really too difficult to choose. Lost field closed his eyes in pain and said nothing.

Zhang Tinglan turned her eyes to Kihachiro Okura again and sneered: "Mr. Okura, you have been doing business for many years and you won't know. The most important thing for a businessman is credibility. If someone knows that you are specializing in buying murderous people behind you, who will cooperate with you, how can you gain a foothold in the business world?"

Okura Kihachiro's mind has long been confused. As a chaebol who is rich enough to rival a country, Okura's ideas are different from those of the Lost Field. If Zhang Zuolin announced the evidence of the crime, no matter how the Japanese government responded, one thing is certain, that is, Okura will definitely be ruined and even be doomed.

After all, Kawashima Naruto acts as a scapegoat, and his weight is too light, and he most likely cannot escape. So what is placed in front of Okura is not the question of agreeing or not, but the choice of cutting off his flesh or losing his head.

After thinking through this, Kihachiro Okura gritted his teeth and said, "The shares of Benxi Lake Coal and Iron Company can be negotiated, but they must not be given to you 20%. Moreover, you must sign a sales agreement to ensure that the products are provided to Japanese military use first."

As soon as Okura said this, Zhang Tinglan showed a smile on her face. Finally, she broke through a gap and built a steel factory from scratch. Not only did it have huge investment, but it also required a suitable location and talent training. She has done it all in a few years. It is no longer time to do it now.

If we can take this opportunity to get the controlling power and use the equity to make steady progress and allow Benxi Lake Coal and Iron Company to use it for me, it will undoubtedly be the best shortcut. Especially this factory has also poured into the efforts of the Japanese and used the factories built by the Japanese to turn their heads to beat the Japanese. There will be no such comfortable thing in the world.

"The sales agreement can be signed, but the term must be limited, not exceeding five years. The price must also refer to the market price. As for the shares, it can be reduced to 18%.

Okura shook his head like a rattle. He currently controls 50% of his shares and gives up 18%, which is equivalent to one-third. How could he agree?

"Fifteen percent, this is the final bottom line, otherwise our transaction will not be able to continue."

Okura Kihachiro was also in a dilemma for a moment, and suddenly Mita spoke: "One or two percentage points have been discussed, one or two dozen will not work at all, you can't take advantage of the situation."

"Okay, as Mr. Hutian said, we only need one percent of the shares and we have completed the transaction!"

Shi Tian was stunned. He had never seen such a contract before. He just clenched his fingers and said that 15% was the bottom limit, but in a blink of an eye it became one percent, which caught everyone off guard.

In fact, in Zhang Tinglan's opinion, not to mention one percent, it is OK to be 0.1 percent, because this means absolute controlling power. Originally, both sides were evenly matched, and the Japanese controlled the management and also controlled sales, which was equivalent to turning the factory into their own. However, once this percentage point equity changes, the Fengtian government will be the well-deserved owner of the factory. How to develop in the future is not the Japanese.

From this perspective, Zhang Tinglan only wants an opportunity. As for the benefits, he really doesn't see them. When it was jointly established by China and Japan, one percent of the shares were only 20,000, and now it is only 50,000. For this little money, it seems that it is not worth fighting for like this.

But the meaning behind this is 500,000 oceans, or even 5 million, so Zhang Tinglan is still very satisfied. Mita and Kihachiro Okura looked extremely ugly at this time. Mita still denied it, but he could not 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. We also hope that Japan can provide some loans. I think it is tentatively set to be 5 million. Of course, we will not use this money indiscriminately. They are all used to purchase Japanese machines and introduce Japanese technicians. I wonder what you two think?"
