Chapter 951 Wrong, this is better than robbing
Archimonde looked at Chen Yang very seriously and said, "Minister Chen, you Chinese have a saying that it is better to die in glory than to live in disgrace."
"Of course, we don't want to do this unless it's absolutely necessary. After all, it's not good for anyone."
Chen Yang tapped the table lightly with his fingers, staring at Archimonde. After hesitating for a long time, he said, "It's too little. I hope the price will be doubled, one million tons of oil."
"In addition to oil, you will also provide 200,000 tons of food, as well as rubber and aluminum ore."
"I can convince the Imperial Army Department to offer a price of 10 million US dollars..."
"Ten million US dollars to buy one million tons of oil, rubber, grain, aluminum ore..." Archimonde's expression remained unchanged, but his tone was a little angry: "Minister Chen, you might as well go and rob."
Chen Yang laughed: "You are wrong, Mr. Archimonde, it is better than robbing."
"In essence, we are all the same. You are developing oil in Indonesia, which is also robbery."
"You can't just allow you to rob and not allow me to rob."
Archimonde was choked by Chen Yang and was speechless.
"Minister Chen, your appetite is too big. I don't think the board will agree to your terms."
"Really?" Chen Yang shifted his gaze from Archimonde to the white young man beside him.
"You also think this condition is unacceptable, Mr. William?"
The young man next to Archimonde originally looked at the two people's verbal battle with an indifferent expression, and had no intention of intervening at all.
But Chen Yang's sudden words made his face change instantly.
"Minister Chen, do you know me?"
Chen Yang said with a smile: "Mr. William, although the Shanghai intelligence agency is not under my management, I can more or less know when some important figures come."
"Of course, the intelligence agencies in Shanghai are not very clear about your background. The only information I have is that Mr. William is a lawyer and your mother is a sister of Queen Wilhelmina."
"After Germany occupied the Netherlands, Queen Wilhelmina fled to Britain to seek political asylum."
"You are probably here to see me on behalf of the Dutch royal family."
"Minister Chen is indeed very powerful." Marquis William chuckled and said, "You guessed it right. I came to China this time just to find you."
Chen Yang said in a gentle voice: "What do you want to talk to me about, Mr. William?"
Marquis William glanced at Archimonde and said to Chen Yang: "This time the Japanese army captured several Dutch when they attacked the Minas Oil Field."
"Of course, the identities of these people are not very important to Minister Chen."
"However, they are still very important to us. I have received an order from the Queen and hope you can help."
"By the way, you may not know my identity yet."
Marquis William stood up, took out a business card and handed it to Chen Yang.
Chen Yang took the business card with both hands, looking a little surprised.
The business card of this Marquis William clearly states that he is the representative attorney of Mobil Oil's European business department.
So, he was the one who negotiated cooperation with Shell on behalf of the Rockefeller family.
"You want me to save someone?" Chen Yang chuckled and said, "Mr. William, I am from the Joint Transportation Department."
"Just transport supplies. If you want to save people, you may have gone to the wrong government office."
Marquis William said seriously: "Minister Chen, you don't have to be modest. If there is anyone who can rescue people from the Japanese, that person must be you.'
"I know you won't do anything easily, so if you can help us get the person out this time, I will try to meet your request."
Chen Yang thought for a while and said, "I can't answer you for sure now. Who do you want to save?"
Marquis William had already prepared the list and handed it over with both hands.
Chen Yang glanced at the names above and had no impression of any of them.
"Leave the things here with me first. I'll notify you when there's any news." Chen Yang put the list aside casually, and then he opened the stack of contracts and read them carefully.
About ten minutes later, Chen Yang picked up the pen and signed his name on the last page of the contract.
"Mr. Archimonde, there is no problem with the contract. A director from Huafu Fund will contact you later."
"Minister Chen, I have another small matter to trouble you with." Marquis William said in a gentle voice: "Mr. Sanders, do you know?"
Chen Yang was stunned. Sanders, the Jew? He should be in the Shanghai Prison now.
This guy swallowed up 20 million US dollars in loans from several banks in Shanghai, causing several bank bosses to almost jump off the roof of the Chinachem Hotel. Does this William want to save him?
"I remember. What happened to him?"
Marquis William said, "I was also entrusted by someone. Mr. Millers and Mr. Sanders are good friends."
"Mr. Millers was very anxious after news of what happened in the Shanghai Stock Exchange reached Europe."
"He knew I was coming to Shanghai, so he asked me to think of a way to bring Mr. Sanders back to Europe this time."
Chen Yang spread his hands and said, "Mr. William, as far as I know, Mr. Sanders has caused quite a bit of trouble this time."
"Several major banks in Shanghai have lost tens of millions of dollars. If the money cannot be recovered, Sanders will not be able to leave."
Archimonde interrupted and said, "Minister Chen, you also said that this is the loss of Shanghai Bank and it has nothing to do with you."
"We have prepared a reward of five million US dollars. It is up to you to decide how to divide it. Do you think it is okay?"
Five million US dollars, these people are willing to spend it.
Although inflation in the Shanghai Stock Exchange is severe nowadays, there is not much you can do with five million US dollars.
Not to mention five million, even fifty thousand U.S. dollars would be more than enough to save a person.
Ten US dollars can be exchanged for thirty-five oceans, and fifty thousand US dollars can buy hundreds of desperate warriors to attack the Shanghai Prison.
These people spent five million US dollars at once, so it is obviously not as simple as wanting a rescue.
They wanted Chen Yang to step in and settle the matter so that Sanders could return to Europe in glory.
As for the methods of balancing accounts, they are basically the same.
Which bank is without bad debts? Whether now or in the future, there will always be banks that will package and sell bad debts.
As long as the bank determines that the 20 million US dollars cannot be recovered, it will naturally be sold in packages at a price of 10% to 20% off or even lower later.
They also knew that even if these banks in Shanghai believed that the money could still be recovered, Chen Yang had a way to turn it into a bad debt.
Of course, this is a deal that happens under the table and cannot be discussed openly.
"It seems that you two are indeed very sincere." Chen Yang smiled and said, "Then I won't beat around the bush. Mr. Archimonde, deposit the money into the account of Huafu Fund. As long as you see the money, you will see the person."
William and Archimonde looked at each other, and both showed a hint of joy on their faces: "Minister Chen, it's a deal..."
