Chapter 950 Chen Er’s Envy (Thanks to [Shi Fan Fan Ha] leader for the reward, 6,000 words)
Time flies like water, four days passed in a blink of an eye.
Today is the day of the second transaction between Oil City and Southland.
Xiao Jun has already loaded all the oil to be taken back to the Da Zhangshu base, and is just waiting to take away the sugar and salt after the transaction with Southern Paradise.
Ju Tianrui and Xiao Jun were standing on the wall at the same time. Not far away from them, He Bing and others were still installing the mobile knife.
It is not that simple to install these mobile gate knives. Nowadays, dozens of people are busy doing this every day.
"Should we let them temporarily stop installing the mobile gate blades and wait until the transaction with Southern Paradise is completed?" Xiao Jun hesitated, but finally decided to speak out.
Ju Tianrui shook his head and said:
"Mr. Li attaches great importance to this matter. He requires that the mobile gate knife be installed as soon as possible. Our transaction will take at least two or three hours. They can see it anyway, so there is no need to stop."
"Well, okay." Xiao Jun nodded and glanced down at his watch.
The time they agreed with Nanfang Paradise was 12 noon, and there was still half an hour left. According to his understanding of Chen Er, he should arrive early.
After glancing at his watch, he raised his head, picked up the telescope on his chest and looked in the direction of Southern Paradise.
as expected.
A huge convoy was heading towards them. Most of the convoys were oil tankers, and there were also a few large trucks.
"They are coming." Xiao Jun put down the telescope and said to Ju Tianrui.
"Okay, did you go out to talk last time?" Ju Tianrui asked.
"No, it was their captain Chen Er who came in personally to chat."
"Into our oil city?"
"Yes, I asked him to set up a simple shed next to the gate, and we chatted in the shed. Mr. Li was there at the time, but he didn't talk much. He mainly asked me to chat with him."
Ju Tianrui nodded and said to Xiao Jun: "I told you yesterday what the bottom line of Mr. Li's trading in Tangyyan is. You have experience in dealing with him. Why don't you discuss it with him later?
?If it exceeds our bottom line, then don’t trade this category of materials with him.
In addition, Mr. Li said that the transaction limit this time is 80 tons and cannot be exceeded."
Ju Tianrui used to be Xiao Jun's immediate boss, but Xiao Jun came to the Da Zhangshu base earlier than Ju Tianrui. Later, after personnel transfer and distribution, there was basically no distinction between them.
However, when Xiao Jun and Ju Tianrui were together, Xiao Jun still respected Ju Tianrui's opinion.
After hearing what Ju Tianrui said, Xiao Jun nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk to him later, and I can also introduce you to him."
"Fortunately."
soon.
Southern Paradise Chen Er and his convoy arrived at the place one kilometer away again, and Chen Er drove there alone.
But this time, he brought another person with him, and this was Ma Dong's daughter.
As one of the founders of Southern Paradise, Ma Dong died in the war, but his daughter is still alive.
The tiger father has no dog daughter. In the Southern Paradise, Ma Yingxue is the only female team leader.
She inherited her father's team. Since her father's death, people like Mr. Tiger and Madman have taken good care of her.
Ma Dong had the best relationship with Master Hu, and Master Hu even recognized Ma Yingxue as his goddaughter.
Therefore, Ma Yingxue has always been quite loyal to Lord Hu.
This time she came with him, but it was Master Hu who suggested it. Although Master Hu trusted Chen Er, regarding the cooperation with Oil City, Master Hu still considered sending one more person to check and balance each other and avoid some accidents.
Chen Er didn't have any objections. It happened that he was alone every time he went there. Bringing a woman with him could also reduce Oil City's vigilance against them.
More importantly, Ma Yingxue has an identity as the goddaughter of Mr. Hu, the leader of Southern Paradise. Going there together can also show that Southern Paradise attaches great importance to the oil city.
On the way to the gate of Oil City, Chen Er explained to Ma Yingxue again and again, and at the same time synchronized the information he learned about Oil City with Ma Yingxue.
Squeaky--
The door to the Oil City was opened, and Chen Er and Ma Yingxue got out of the car.
Xiao Jun inside the gate was not too surprised when he saw that Chen Er was not alone. He was just a little surprised by the height of this woman.
That Ma Yingxue was tall and tall, walking side by side with Chen Er, she could be on the same level as him.
Chen Er's height is already quite high, nearly 1.8 meters tall, but this Ma Yingxue is as tall as Chen Er.
Seeing them walking in, Dongtai and Zuo Ruxue stepped forward and searched them.
During the search, Ma Yingxue saw Zuo Ruxue, who was also a woman, and looked at Zuo Ruxue with curiosity. At the same time, Zuo Ruxue was also secretly observing Ma Yingxue.
After the body search was completed, Xiao Jun said with a smile on his face: "Chen Er, who is this person next to you?"
Chen Er also smiled and introduced: "This is the goddaughter of our Southern Paradise Tiger Lord. This time she came with me to trade."
Lord Tiger’s goddaughter?
Xiao Jun and Ju Tianrui next to him looked at each other. Is this what he meant by Mr. Hu, the leader of Southern Paradise?
However, the two also felt that Southern Paradise valued the importance of having the goddaughter of the leader of Southern Paradise come over.
"Chen Er, this is Captain Ju. He will take over my job from now on. If you come here to trade later, he will be the one to receive you." Xiao Jun simply looked at Ma Yingxue and then spoke to Chen Er.
Er said.
When Chen Er heard this, he was a little confused. He didn't know why Xiao Jun was doing well in Oil City and suddenly left.
But he didn't ask. It would be better to do more than to do less, as long as it can ensure a smooth transaction.
So he said to Ju Tianrui: "Hello, hello, Captain Ju, please take good care of me in the future."
As they were talking, they walked towards the shed next to them.
The two groups sat on opposite sides, and Zuo Ruxue brought them two bottles of water.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xiao Jun glanced at Ju Tianrui, who nodded towards him.
This scene happened to be seen by Chen Er, who murmured in his heart, is this Captain Ju even higher than Xiao Jun?
With doubts in his heart, he heard Xiao Jun say:
"To make a long story short, Chen Er, I don't know what Mr. Hu from your base said about the exchange of salt and sugar we told you last time?"
coming!
Chen Er thought to himself.
After thinking for a while, Chen Er put his hands on the table and said:
"Master Hu said it can be traded, but our production of these two materials is not large, so the quantities that can be traded are not large."
Ju Tianrui next to him asked: "Did you bring it this time?"
Ju Tianrui's style is a bit like Li Yu's, he is always simple and direct and never makes any detours.
Before the end of the world, there may have been some worldliness, but in this end of the world, who cares about you? If you want to stand on the stage, you must let others see your strength.
If you have enough strength, no matter how you speak, others will not have much opinion.
Chen Er coughed and said: "Of course we brought it, we brought thirty tons. In addition, we also brought ten tons of medicine."
Xiao Jun and Ju Tianrui looked at each other. They both knew that this time, if they follow the eighty-ton oil limit stated by Mr. Li,
It is impossible to trade all the supplies brought by people like Southern Paradise.
The previous ratio of oil to medicine was one to six. They brought ten tons of medicine, but here there are sixty tons, leaving only twenty tons of oil. Even if it is a one-to-one exchange, they cannot exchange Southern Paradise this time.
The supplies brought have been traded.
Xiao Jun coughed dryly and said with some embarrassment:
"Captain Chen, there is something I forgot to tell you last time. The oil produced in our oil city is also limited, so Mr. Li stipulated that each transaction can only be up to 80 tons."
"Eighty tons?" Chen Er frowned when he heard this.
According to his plan, he would bring back at least 150 tons of oil this time.
After all, these two commodities, salt and sugar, are also hard currencies in the apocalypse.
Although it is not like medicines, where one ton of medicines can be exchanged for six tons of oil, it can be exchanged for at least four or five tons of oil.
"You..., we have all brought it." Chen Er said with a confused look on his face.
Ju Tianrui waved his hand and said:
"We have already agreed on the exchange ratio of medicines and oil before. Let's discuss the exchange ratio of salt and sugar for oil first."
Chen Er heard this and asked tentatively: "What ratio do you think is more appropriate?"
Ju Tianrui looked at Xiao Jun.
Xiao Jun took over and said: "Last time our President Li was here, you were also present. What he said at that time was that one ton of oil can be exchanged for one ton of salt and sugar. What do you think?"
Cough cough cough.
Chen Er was drinking water and choked on the water when he heard Xiao Jun's words.
With a wry smile on his face, he said: "I thought you were joking last time? One ton of oil can be exchanged for one ton of salt and sugar, no, no, no, we can't afford this exchange method, it's too expensive."
Xiao Jun naturally knows that this exchange ratio is unlikely, but isn't that what bargaining is? First put forward an impossible condition, and then any condition discussed next will be better than that condition.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Jun asked.
"We also really want to cooperate with your base. How about we follow the exchange ratio of medicines and oil?" Chen Er said.
At the same time, he carefully watched the expressions of the two people.
Ju Tianrui's face was expressionless, he leaned back and listened quietly.
Xiao Jun, who was opposite, had a troubled look on his face and said:
"The condition you mentioned is a joke. We cannot accept such a condition."
Quiet.
silence.
The atmosphere suddenly became subtle.
The exchange ratio is one to one in Oil City, and the exchange ratio is one to six in Southern Paradise.
The difference is huge, and it is obvious that the expectations of both parties did not meet the standards.
Ju Tianrui picked up his watch and looked at it, breaking the awkward silence,
She said to Zuo Ruxue: "Is that horseman still repairing the oil well?"
Hearing this, Zuo Ruxue instantly understood the purpose of Ju Tianrui's words.
At the negotiation table, there are generally two situations.
One is that both parties have great needs for each other. In this case, it is easy to talk. After all, both parties need each other.
The second type is that one party is necessary and the other party is not necessary. The party that must have it will be more passive and try to compress its bottom line.
The cooperation with Southern Paradise was originally brought up by them, that is, whether it is Oil City or Da Zhangshu Base, cooperation with Southern Paradise is not necessary.
They have absolute initiative.
It just so happens that there is too much oil produced in the Oil City, and the current Da Zhangshu base cannot digest it. If some of it is stored, there will still be too much.
Now that Southern Paradise has come to trade, it can be exchanged for some things it needs.
However, these items exchanged do not mean that the Da Zhangshu Base is in urgent need. They are only used as war preparation materials. It is best to stock up on more.
However, Southern Paradise does not know their situation.
The limit trading that Xiao Jun just mentioned is to make Southern Paradise understand one thing. Although we are willing to trade with you, it does not mean that you can trade as much as you want. Our output is also limited.
This is used to increase the preciousness of oil and gain leverage in negotiations.
At this time, the oil well maintenance that Ju Tianrui talked about also wanted to achieve this goal.
So Zuo Ruxue said: "The horseman is still repairing it over there! It will probably take a few days to repair it."
"Let him hurry up." Ju Tianrui said.
"good."
Xiao Jun next to him understood it and continued:
"Captain Chen, our oil well production is limited, and it needs maintenance recently. During the maintenance, oil cannot be produced. This has been for several days."
Chen Er heard what Xiao Jun said and asked nervously: "Can we continue production after the repair?"
"Yes, but our production is indeed limited, otherwise Mr. Li wouldn't have said that each transaction limit is 80 tons, right?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "As long as it can be restored, that's good. How about that? I'll take a step back for the exchange ratio, how about one to five?" Chen Er gritted his teeth and said.
Xiao Jun coughed and said:
"It's still too much."
Chen Er frowned and asked, "One-to-one ratio is definitely impossible. How about you give me an exchange ratio? I'll see if I can accept it."
When the two parties discuss these things, it is a game.
You retreat and I advance, I retreat and you advance, and then the two of them approach at the same time. When the distance is about the same as the psychological expectations of both parties, it can basically be achieved.
"How about one to two?" Xiao Jun said after being silent for a while.
"Um...this..." Chen Er looked embarrassed. This didn't even reach the lowest bottom line given to him by Master Hu.
If we really negotiate with a one to two exchange ratio, even if the negotiation is successful, we will be criticized by Mr. Hu when we go back.
So Chen Er said in embarrassment: "I can't explain it. One to five, this is really the sincerity of our Southern Paradise.
You know, these salts and candies can be... very precious in the last days."
Chen Er talked a lot about the functions of salt and sugar, and how difficult it was for them to produce them.
But after he said so much, Xiao Jun still did not back down.
Negotiations reached a deadlock again.
Seeing this situation, Ju Tianrui checked his body again and asked Zuo Ruxue: "Go and bring in the refined gasoline and diesel and show them to them."
Chen Er, who had been observing Ju Tianrui, heard what he said, and his eyes lit up. You must know that what they are trading has always been oil. After they get the oil, they have to refine it in the Southern Paradise.
But they use the stupidest method to refine it, small workshop style.
The refining rate can only reach 20%.
That is to say, one ton of oil can only refine 0.2 tons of gasoline and diesel.
But if you think about it, you know that the Oil City has the equipment, equipment, and talents, so there must be a professional refinery, and it is very likely that the oil refining rate can reach more than 60%.
This is much better than the hard work they spent half a day on and only achieved less than 20%.
soon.
Zuo Ruxue came in with two cups of gasoline and diesel in measuring cups.
Ju Tianrui made a gesture and asked her to show this to Chen Er and the others.
"This is the gasoline and diesel we refine. To be honest, the quality is pretty good. Take a look," Ju Tianrui said.
Ma Yingxue and Chen Er lowered their heads and smelled it. The light brown stuff was diesel and the transparent yellow stuff was gasoline.
Chen Er looked thoughtful, thinking of the difficulties they had in refining oil in Southern Paradise, so he asked: "I wonder if I can exchange this directly for gasoline or diesel?"
Ju Tianrui said: "Okay, one to two ratio."
Chen Er's brain was spinning wildly. If it were to be exchanged for oil, they could use one ton of salt and sugar to exchange for five tons of oil. With a 20% refining rate, there would only be one ton after refining.
One ton of salt and sugar = one ton of gasoline; diesel = five tons of oil.
But now one ton of salt and sugar can be directly exchanged for two tons of gasoline or diesel.
Doubled.
Even a fool can figure it out, and this is of great benefit to them.
As for other common kerosene, lubricating oil, etc., although they are also extracted from crude oil, their technology is not up to standard and basically cannot extract much.
It’s too much waste! It’s better to trade the refined products directly with Oil City.
Thinking of this, Chen Er said: "If you exchange it with refined gasoline or diesel, one to two, that's fine!"
Xiao Jun and the others were also very happy when they heard Chen Er agreed.
After all, just because Southern Paradise's refining technology is not good, it doesn't mean that they are not good at it. Their oil refining rate is three times that of Southern Paradise.
Its refining level can reach 0.215 tons of gasoline and 0.394 tons of diesel for every ton of oil, and the oil yield can reach 63%.
And it does not include other kerosene, lubricants, etc.
The cost is nothing more than time and manpower.
Time is the most important thing for many people in the apocalypse.
Both parties are very happy.
Chen Er simply took the opportunity to propose exchanging the medicines for gasoline and diesel.
It turns out that one ton of medicine is equivalent to six tons of oil.
Chen Er and his colleagues can refine 1.2 tons of gasoline and diesel from six tons of oil.
Therefore, Chen Er proposed an exchange ratio of one to three.
Six tons of oil here in Oil City can refine 3.6 tons of gasoline and diesel.
It does not include other kerosene and lubricating oils.
If it's one to three, it's actually a profit.
At least it's better for Oil City than the previous method.
At this point, the two parties reached an agreement.
One ton of medicine can be exchanged for three tons of gasoline/diesel, and one ton of salt and sugar can be exchanged for two tons of gasoline/diesel.
They brought 30 tons of salt and sugar, plus 10 tons of medicine, which can be exchanged for 90 tons of firewood/gasoline.
"It's over ten tons, so I'll report it to our President Li, and you wait here." Xiao Jun said.
"Okay, it's okay. You can go ahead. By the way, is Mr. Li also in Oil City? I really want to meet him." Chen Er said with a smile.
"Haha, I'm not here now." Xiao Jun replied.
Chen Er smiled and nodded, and said with some regret, "That's a pity."
But something stirred up in his heart, and Mr. Li was able to contact him despite his absence.
What does this mean? It means that they have a communication tool that can communicate over long distances.
Chen Er and others also have walkie-talkies, but the communication range of the walkie-talkies is only a dozen kilometers.
When Chen Er came here for the first time, he came with Feng Wei. They had seen more than ten kilometers of Fangyuan in Petroleum City, but they had not seen any other bases.
Coupled with the fact that Mr. Li was seen riding a helicopter last time, it can be basically concluded that Oil City is not close to the Da Zhangshu Base of the headquarters they mentioned.
Long distance communication.
Chen Er swallowed his saliva and was extremely envious.
If they go out on a mission, it is basically difficult to contact the base. If they don't go back this time, Master Hu will have no idea what is going on with them.
I’m so envious!
What kind of communication tool will it be?
Chen Er secretly guessed, and at the same time looked at Ju Tianrui and the others with a hint of envy in their eyes.
soon.
Xiao Jun hurried in.
With a smile on his face, Guo Zi said to Chen Er: "Our boss agreed. After all, we finally agreed. Old Chen, Mr. Li said that we can trade hundreds of tons next time."
"However, the next transaction will have to wait until a month later."
"A month is fine." Chen Er cupped his fists in thanks and nodded.
Seeing that it was basically agreed upon, Ju Tianrui said, "Okay, let's start the transaction. Do you want ninety tons of gasoline or diesel?"
Before the end of the world, generally speaking, gasoline was more expensive, and the purity of gasoline was higher than that of diesel, so the refining cost was naturally higher. The prices of the two were about the same, but with the same capacity, diesel could run farther than gasoline.
But in the last days, it depends on everyone’s needs.
Chen Er said: "Then forty tons of gasoline and fifty tons of diesel. Thank you."
"Okay." Ju Tianrui nodded.
Then they sent out Chen Er and Ma Yingxue.
Outside the gate, in the car, Chen Er said to Ma Yingxue with deep eyes:
"This oil city is much more powerful than us..."
"Why do you say that?" Ma Yingxue asked.
"..."
.......
In oil city.
Xiao Jun and Ju Tianrui laughed. This time, they achieved the best result that Li Yu expected in this transaction.
This is a great benefit to the Oil City and the Da Zhangshu Base.
