Chapter 1306 Leave or surrender
Chapter 1306 Leave or surrender
Du Fei stayed at Wang Yufen's place for one night and went straight to the power plant next to the industrial zone the next day.
Du Fei didn't have any objections to Teacher Wang's suggestion that Yu Xinxin and Wang Xiaodong be in a relationship.
In his eyes, Yu Xinxin was just a little girl. Although she was pretty, she was not Du Fei's type, otherwise she wouldn't have continued the blind date.
Du Fei likes plump women, simply put, those with big breasts and big butts.
Zhu Ting, Zhu Li, Qin Huairou, Qin Jingrou, and Wang Yufen are all of this type. Yu Jiajia and Shen Jianing are similar, but Yu Xinxin and Yang Dingxiang are too thin.
It's not that they are not beautiful, it's just that their style is too fresh. Du Fei still likes the fatter type who can take a bite of meat.
Sit in the car and follow the newly built asphalt road to the industrial zone.
Kuching's new industrial area is located five kilometers from the old city, with the power plant located in between.
The purpose is to take into account the electricity consumption of residents in the urban area.
But in Du Fei's opinion, it is completely unnecessary. The power generated by this power plant will not be enough to supply the industrial zone in a few years.
Sitting in the back seat, Du Fei rubbed his waist with his hands.
Even his physique was a bit too much to deal with Zhu Li and Wang Yufen for two consecutive nights.
After leaving the capital, Wang Yufen seemed to have undergone some changes, becoming more relaxed than when she was in the capital.
It felt like Wang Yufen was shackled back in the capital and couldn't stretch out as much as she wanted.
On the contrary, in Nanyang, the shackles were released, or weakened, making her repressed personality more vivid...
At this time, the convoy slowed down and had arrived at the power plant.
In front of the power plant, headed by Jia Daili, senior executives of Huaxia Electric Power Company, and the responsible persons of the local power plant all arrived.
There were more than twenty people in total, and they had been waiting for more than ten minutes.
Jia Lingli had gray hair and was dressed very formally. He stood at the door for only a few minutes and was already sweating.
Seeing Du Fei get out of the car, he immediately came forward and said, "Mr. Du, welcome. It's a great honor."
Du Fei shook hands with him: "Mr. Jia Daoli is so polite. You can see our power plant completed and generating electricity so quickly. Both myself and my colleagues in the kingdom are very grateful for your contribution to the construction of Song Dynasty."
Jia Lai was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that Song State was Sarawak.
After exchanging pleasantries and introducing a few people around them, everyone entered the power plant.
Du Fei put on his safety helmet with the others and joined in to personally introduce the current situation of the power plant.
There are three sets of units in total. The first unit has already started generating electricity, and the remaining two units will be put into use in the next six months to provide power supply to Kuching’s new industrial zone.
After the visit, Du Fei spoke highly of the power plant in Jiadaili. The management staff are very professional and the factory regulations are very complete, especially regarding the safety around the power plant.
The current Nanyang is still not so peaceful. Once someone wants to do something, the power plant is an important target.
By the end of the visit, Du Fei was ready to go to the site of the electrical appliance manufacturing factory that would be the next step as planned.
At present, the factory there is almost completed, the first batch of recruited workers have begun training, and the factory's equipment and machine tools are being purchased at an accelerated pace.
It is expected that the conditions for trial production will be reached before September.
There is a saying that the Japanese people of this era are indeed top-notch in terms of managing factories and producing products.
The manager hired by the factory is named Yasuda Buntais, who was hired from Toshiba with a high salary.
In order to get this person, Du Fei even bought out his pension at one time.
According to Toyo's employment system, Yasuda Buntais can work at Toshiba until retirement. Leaving now means taking a big risk.
If Du Fei hadn't given him so much, he wouldn't have appeared in Kuching at all.
However, at this time, Jia Daili suddenly proposed that he would invite Du Fei to have lunch.
Jia Deli's attitude was very sincere: "I'm sorry, I know this is a bit rude, but I ask Mr. Du to appreciate it."
Du Fei raised his hand and glanced at his watch. It was only after ten o'clock, and to be honest, it was a bit far away from lunch.
Jia Jiaili just said this, obviously there is something behind his words.
Du Fei thought for a while, nodded simply, and agreed to the invitation. Let's see what he wanted to say.
Leaving the production area of the power plant, next to it is the dormitory area for factory workers, which also includes the high-end residences of the management.
Jiadaili has been prepared in advance, and the cook is a private chef from the Jiadaili family.
Du Fei was surrounded by compassion, and Xiao Hei's crow team was watching around, so he didn't worry about safety.
What's more, Du Fei was traveling with more than 20 elite guards led by Wei Chenggong himself.
If something really happens, these elite guards armed to the teeth can withstand an ordinary armed force of 200 people.
The meals prepared in it are not complicated but very exquisite, somewhat similar to Huaiyang cuisine, and the taste is very light.
There were no other people waiting at the table, only Du Fei and Jia Daili.
But Du Fei was keenly aware that there was another person in the room next door.
He took out a bottle of rice wine and introduced: "The rice wine from Kuaiji Mountain has been aged for 18 years. Please taste it."
Du Fei smiled and waved his hand: "Don't take it seriously as a taster."
Although Jia Laili is a foreigner, his research on Huaguo culture is deeper than many Huaguo people.
He helped Du Fei add a glass of wine, and after the two of them drank two glasses, he got down to business: "Mr. Du, I believe you should be aware that Yin Ni, Li Jiapo, and Malay have had quite frequent contacts recently under the leadership of the Yingguo people. "
Du Fei raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that this was the reason why he came to look for him.
There was no need to hide anything, and he nodded directly: "Indeed, do you know what they are plotting?"
Jia Jiaili was very smart. This matter was his bargaining chip. Of course, he couldn't give it to Du Fei for free, but he didn't directly explain what Che Ma wanted to exchange.
That makes it a deal.
Transactions with clearly marked prices are naturally good for businessmen, but if the transaction becomes a transaction, friendship will be lost.
So Jia Laili didn't say what he wanted, but directly laid out the chips: "Mr. Du, as far as I know, the three parties are secretly discussing the co-management of the Malacca Strait, and there are Yingguo and Meiguo behind it to add fuel to the fire."
When Du Fei heard this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He vaguely remembered that there was such a thing, and it was indeed a very important event.
Due to the rapid economic development in East Asia, more and more oil will be imported from the Middle East, which will increase the importance of the Malacca Strait.
Coupled with the fact that Sulian had previously settled on the Anda Islands on the other side of the strait, the pressure on the British and American sides was even greater.
In order to take countermeasures, it is not surprising to promote trilateral co-management of the Strait, but the trilateral co-management is only superficial, and the real control here is still the United States and Britain.
However, this may not be that important to others, but it is quite important to Du Fei.
Huaguo is still an oil exporting country, and no one would have imagined how serious the country's dependence on the Malacca Strait would be in the future.
For domestic manufacturing, that is the most important lifeline.
If the three-party co-management is allowed to be achieved, Du Fei will be completely excluded from the rules just like the world before he traveled.
By then, even the finished products from Kuching Industrial Zone will be restricted from passing through Malacca.
This is absolutely not allowed!
With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Du Fei picked up the wine glass and expressed his gratitude to Jia Laili.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Jia Daili. You are not only my friend, but also a friend of the Huaguo people. Cheers~" Du Fei smiled and said what Jia Daili wanted to hear most.
"Of course~" The smile on Jia Jiali's face became even stronger: "Mr. Du, I am not only an old friend of Huaguo People, but I also hope to become a Huaguo People one day, cheers~"
Du Fei raised his glass. Regarding this statement, although Jia Jiali said it sincerely, just listen to it and don't take it seriously.
Always remember that the other person is a capitalist and he can say whatever you want to hear.
I say this now because it will bring him greater benefits.
Du Fei's acting skills are also online: "I hope that day will come soon, cheers~"
After drinking the glass of wine, Du Fei calmly said: "Mr. Jiali, today I visited the power plant of Huaxia Electric Power Company. I am very satisfied with your management and technical level. In the future, new industrial zones will need more power supply. Kuching will also develop into the largest and most prosperous city in Nanyang, which all requires electricity, and I hope the Gadari family can invest in more power plants."
Jia Deli's eyes lit up, this was exactly what he wanted.
He immediately vowed to make a contribution to the construction of the Song Kingdom.
Du Fei smiled. These verbal guarantees were useless. Both parties must show greater sincerity.
Du Feidao said: "According to the Kingdom's plan, the next step is to establish the Kingdom Power Grid and build a power supply network covering Kuching and Bandar Seri Bega. If Mr. Gadari is interested, I think we can offer [-]% of the shares..."
As soon as I added it to the list, my eyes suddenly lit up. What a concept is it to participate in the construction of a kingdom's power grid!
It is simply a profitable business with no loss at all.
In the future, as long as the Song Kingdom still exists, it will continue to provide wealth to their family.
Du Fei did not lie. The Kingdom Power Grid was indeed being prepared. [-]% of the shares belonged to the Kingdom Investment Fund, which belonged to Du Fei and Zhu Li. Lin Tiansheng also had a part of the shares.
The remaining [-]% is divided between the government and the military, so that everyone can benefit and win over people's hearts.
Although Du Fei only revealed briefly, Jia Daili was also surprised, and calmed down from the surprise, and immediately said: "Mr. Du, 5% of the shares is too much. We are very willing to participate in the construction of the kingdom's power grid, but [-]% There are really too many shares, I only need [-]%."
Du Fei looked at the gray-haired old man in front of him meaningfully and cursed "old fox" in his heart.
In fact, Du Fei didn't have any good intentions when he promised to give him [-]% of the shares. He said that the bait he threw was about the same.
The purpose is to make the Jiadili family the most prominent target.
Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng had no problem taking half of the entire 1% of the shares, but there were dozens of people who were eligible to divide the remaining [-]% of the shares. In the end, each person may not even get [-]%.
Why do you want to take away [-]% of it when you add it? You must know that the power grid and the power plant are not the same thing.The power grid itself is a public facility. It is because Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng control nearly half of the island of Kalimantan that they are qualified to build a power grid to collect electricity bills.
The reason why Du Fei did this was because he wanted to push it out and become the target of public criticism.
To put it bluntly, it means raising a flying pig there in advance.
It's nothing right now, but if something happens in the future, you can use it.
Masaharu is so nasty.
This is what Su Chuo's "Guan Lun" says.
It’s just that it’s really unusual to add it to it. I probably learned the lessons of World War II, or I learned the philosophy of flowers and fruits in the East, and I know that going too far is still not enough, and that even if you are too strong, you will regret it.
He immediately realized that he couldn't afford [-]% of the shares, so he made a prompt decision and cut off three-quarters of the shares.
It's a pity that he didn't learn it thoroughly enough, and he didn't really abandon the greed of businessmen.
Even if it dropped from 5% to [-]%, he is still the largest shareholder in the power grid besides Kingdom Investment Fund.
More than Chen Fangshi, the Prime Minister.
Although it has been greatly weakened in extent, it has not fundamentally changed the nature of being a target.
Later, after the meal was over, Jia Lai sent Du Fei out. The two looked at each other and shook hands, and Du Fei got into the car.
Lao Jiali watched the car go away before the smile on his face faded and became serious and heavy.
At this time, a young man came up from behind with the same serious expression and called "Father" in Cantonese.
Lao Jia came inside and said "hmm" and turned back to the house.
"Mig, do you remember that person just now?" Jia Zhili sat on the sofa, closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.
Although the meeting with Du Fei just now seemed to be in a harmonious atmosphere, it was actually quite tiring, especially for someone of his age.
The young man stood nearby and expressed that he remembered.
Jia Zaili said: "Don't be fooled by his appearance. When he talks to you with a smile, he has actually inserted the knife into you, but you haven't noticed it yet..."
A flash of surprise flashed in the young man's eyes, but he did not raise any objection and listened respectfully and patiently.
Jia Daili said calmly: "Did you hear what we just said?"
The young man nodded. He was next door just now. The wall in the middle was processed, and he could hear clearly what was said there.
Jia Daili asked: "Do you know why he gave us [-]% of the shares?"
The young man is the most valued son in Jia Daili, so he is naturally not a fool. He replied: "Do you want others to stare at us and make us the target of public criticism?"
Jia Daili nodded, still closing his eyes, and asked again: "Do you know why I only asked for 5%?"
This time the young man was a little hesitant. He knew that Du Fei had no good intentions when he directly offered 5% of the power grid's shares, but his father refused [-]% and agreed to [-]%, which he did not understand.
5% is also a very high ratio, and it will still make people jealous.
It's not something that families like them who don't have much roots here can get involved in.
But he could see through it, wouldn't his father know?Now that you know it, why should you accept it?
Jia waited for a moment, opened his eyes and looked at his son and said: "Mig, you are very good, but you still need to practice. There will never be a deal that satisfies everyone in the world. If you want to reach a deal, you need to make concessions. We make concessions." , the other party makes concessions until a result acceptable to both or more parties is reached.”
The young man frowned and said, "Are you saying that if we want to gain benefits here, we must pay a corresponding price? Is that what you mean?"
Jia Daoli nodded slowly: "I once told you that the power of capital is very powerful. It can manipulate people's hearts, fool the lower levels, and corrupt the upper levels... But capital also has two natural enemies, one is the mob and the other is the warlord. Of course, When we face these people who ignore the rules, the power of capital will be greatly reduced, or even... completely ineffective."
The expressions of young people are more serious. They just experienced a painful lesson more than 20 years ago.
Jia Daili continued: "Faced with these people, we have only two choices, either leave, or... give them what they want."
The young man suddenly reacted: "Like you just did?"
Jia Zaili said: "Don't he want to release us as a fort? Then we will do what he wants. This is a must. Unless we leave, don't be smart."
"I understand, father~" The young man nodded. Just now Du Fei expressed his willingness by directly offering [-]% of the shares.
If you don't accept it, you won't give it face. If you don't give face, you won't be able to survive.
Of course they can choose to go back to Xiangjiang or go somewhere else.
But there is already a power plant here, which has invested a lot of sunk costs, so they can't stop it.
Therefore, Jia Laili chose to obey, but only tried to reduce the extent as much as possible, reducing the shares from 20% to 5% to minimize the side effects.
At the same time, he is also obedient enough to allow Du Fei to show his superiority in the future.
Jia Lailai took a look at his son. He knew his son was more like his father. He could see that the young man had something to say and asked, "What? Do you still have any ideas?"
The young man pursed his lips and hesitated: "Father, why don't we leave? We can still afford to pay for a power plant while the losses are not much."
Jia Daili looked away and looked out the window: "Where are we going? Back to Xiangjiang? Isn't Du Fei unable to reach us there? Or do you want to go to Meiguo? Do you think our little family property will be lost once we go to Meiguo? , how many will be eaten? Do you think those guys on Wall Street will let us go just because they are all Youtai? "
Having said this, Jia Daoli breathed a sigh of relief: "Mig, you have to remember that our family's roots are in East Asia, in Xiangjiang. If we leave here, we will lose the connections and foundation that we have been operating for decades. That will completely Let us become prey for everyone. Now that we are cooperating with Du Fei, although there will be some risks, they are long-term and can be reversed. We have enough time to build a safety net. Children, you have to remember "Remember, there is never absolute security in the world. When the benefits of getting rid of you are far less than the benefits of keeping you, you will be safe..."
On the other side, Du Fei was in the car, leaning his head on the headrest with a playful smile.
I sighed in my heart, no wonder the Jia Daili family was able to build this family business in Xiangjiang by virtue of their status as foreigners.
Originally, Du Fei had prepared some ways to make him submit, but he didn't expect that this old guy was so sensible and had a good sense of proportion.
The car returned to Julie's villa.
Du Fei was still thinking about the news about the strait he had obtained from Jiadaili, and thinking about how to deal with it.
Compared with other things, this matter is undoubtedly of the highest importance.
So far, there are only two ways: one is to destroy the idea, and the other is to find a way to join in.
Before the car arrived at the villa, Du Fei denied the first option.
At this point, the entire incident has advanced to a certain extent, and it is no longer possible to destroy it.
Once implemented, it will definitely offend more people, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Moreover, the Yingguo people and the Meiguo people were behind this matter, so Du Fei would inevitably face huge resistance from both sides if he wanted to destroy it.
They have very real needs and must deal with SLA's expansion in the Indian Ocean.
The base of the Anda Islands deeply stimulated their fragile nerves.
In comparison, if it cannot be destroyed, it seems more feasible to join it.
But the question is how to join?
There is no English or American fruit in name now. The so-called tripartite condominium is all countries along the Strait of Malacca, and they naturally have this right geographically.
The Song State controlled by Du Fei is quite far away from the Strait, and it is not easy to get in.
Du Fei thought as he got out of the car.
When Julie learned about it, she just came out of the house with her child in her arms.
Seeing the two of them, the solemnity on Du Fei's face faded away, and he put on a smile, took the little Zhengping from Zhu Li's hand and held it high.
The little boy loved this and immediately started giggling.
The three of them did not go back to the house, but sat down at the pavilion in the courtyard.
Mosquito-repellent plants are planted in the courtyard, so there is no mosquito harassment.
Du Fei teased the child, but Zhu Li asked: "What happened? I saw you came in just now and your face didn't look good."
Du Fei and Julie had nothing to hide and told them what they had heard from Jiajili about the tripartite condominium management of the Strait.
Zhu Li frowned and said, "Is this serious? It has nothing to do with us, right? Aren't our merchant ships mainly going north?"
Du Fei shook his head and said: "It's nothing now, but what about in the future? The Middle East is the world's largest oil producing area, and oil is the blood of industry. Once the domestic industry develops, it will inevitably require a large amount of oil. By then, this strait will become a barrier guarding the east and west. throat."
Zhu Li also frowned upon hearing this. She had unconditional trust in Du Fei. She thought about it and said, "You want to get involved?"
Du Fei held the child in his arms and responded while squeezing his fleshy little feet: "This matter is basically a foregone conclusion. We can only get involved and gain some initiative, but how do we get involved..."
Zhu Li had an idea and said: "Since we don't have the conditions to intervene, let's simply create a condition."
Du Fei said in surprise: "How to create conditions?"
Julie didn't answer, but asked someone to go inside and get the map.
Du Fei was not in a hurry and continued to tease his son.
After waiting for a while, a maid brought a map of the Nanyang area.
Julie unfolded the map and spread it on the rattan outdoor coffee table in front of her. She pointed at the map and said, "Look here..."
Du Fei saw that the place she was pointing to was the Riau Islands located east of Lijiapo and west of Song Dynasty.
This place was originally under the jurisdiction of Yajiada.
But Suharto died, Yajata's authority collapsed, and the Riau Islands were basically left alone.
Du Fei reacted quickly and understood what Julie meant: "You want to take this place down?"
