The fifty-eighth chapter vertical and horizontal (6)
It is hard to say that Wang Chao's cold and hard tone suddenly dropped the ambient temperature below the freezing point, and the harmonious atmosphere on the negotiating table became tense. Fortunately, Meng Shenji was so cunning that he knew that turning against each other was a loss. Later, Wu Han smoothed the scene next to him and broke the discordant notes. Meng Shenji did not go into it in depth, so the negotiations continued.
Everyone understands that the simplest way of cooperation is to communicate with each other. Since the war cannot be started for the time being, under the serious threat of monsters, they are not afraid of their opponents breaking the contract. They quickly finalized two documents for the ceasefire and barter trade. This time, the barter trade method was essentially in line with the trend of this era. In the early stage, the Torrent Company, which played a professional search for professional households, plundered a lot of precious metal jewelry, gems, antiques and other luxury goods from the arrested survivors. However, in this era of shortage of economy, only survival necessities such as food, weapons and medicines are indisputable hard currency.
In addition, even the real money and silver that humans once regarded as symbols of wealth, at this moment, are just useless toys. No one will be so stupid that they accept others' use of waste that cannot be eaten or used to exchange for the treasures that rely on for life. When it is really at the critical moment of life and death, no one lacks this mind.
Similar to those who think that they are the only ones who are smart and others are all idiots, it is best to hit the wall with your head until your mind is clear.
After a fierce debate, the three big bosses blushed and finally decided to sign the document with a trade agreement. Wu Han, who was basically a foiling position in this negotiation, curled his lips and signed his name indifferently. In the past, he saw those leaders signing this agreement and that treaty seriously on TV news, as if they were so sacred and solemn. Today, I personally experienced it and found that it was no different from the vegetable market. It was nothing more than bargaining!
"Okay, let's define the boundaries so as not to cause unnecessary conflicts in the future, so that it can also prevent monsters from attacking in partitions."
After the major discussion was completed, Meng Shenji made another small suggestion. So Wang Chao and Wu Han also came over together. The three of them shared the African continent on a large-scale map of Northeast China, just like the Western powers in the 19th century, dividing them in pieces on this map, indicating their own territory.
In this wilderness era, everything is scarce, but the real estate of land is not short of at all. The population cannot keep up with the number of wild animals. Why do you occupy so much land? Because of this, after negotiations with extremely high efficiency, the dividing line was determined.
A black straight line that runs north and south divides the two provinces in the south of the northeast into two. The Hongliu Company occupies most of the country in the west, and the narrower side to the east is the land belonging to the Taohuayuan. In addition, a straight line extending east and east will separate the black and Jilin provinces horizontally, which is the dividing line between the mine protection team and the other two sides. Wu Han himself is not very interested in the territory. If the valley in the core area of the Taohuayuan can be developed, the arable land area is enough to support tens of thousands of people, and the wind power station is even priceless. Who would be more concerned about the rubble when pearls and jade are in front of it? Even if most of East Asia is drawn out, Wu Han will not agree to leave his current territory and run out to open up some wasteland.
Everyone's ideas are similar. They roughly acknowledge each other's sphere of influence. The territorial division process was unexpected and did not cause any controversy. On the one hand, the reason is that the land is of little value in the current situation, and in addition, this demarcation is just a recognition of the fait accompli, so naturally there is no need to waste any more words.
When signing the boundary demarcation agreement, Meng Shenji signed the agreement in the name of the head of Hongliu Company, and Wang Chao readily wrote the title of captain of the mine protection team. Only Wu Han scratched his head awkwardly for a long time and didn't know how to start writing. In the end, he had no choice but to omit his position and signed his name on the agreement.
Although Wu Han's approach seems a bit eye-catching, the fundamental reason is very simple. First of all, Wu Han has never publicly promoted the banner of his power. Unlike the Mining Protection Team and Hongliu Company, each with a relatively complete organizational structure, Peach Blossom Land, including other settlements of all sizes, are all leaders in Wu Han's personal name. In essence, someone is no different from the chiefs of the primitive society and the subsequent separatist warlords, and is a standard dictator and a one-man ruler.
Fortunately, the embarrassment this time did not happen often, and a little embarrassment did not make Wu Han think of regularizing the organization of Peach Blossom Land after he went back. Since the problem was solved successfully, he was too lazy to worry about this leisure.
In a while, Wu Han thought of another big thing. After pondering for a while, he turned his attention to Meng Shenji. This tripartite meeting under the banner of ease of relationships with the truce negotiations, Wu Han felt that there was something to do here, so he couldn't help but start thinking about it. So he smiled at Meng Shenji and said:
"General Meng, let's discuss and sell me a truck!"
When Hongliu Company was preparing to go on a mission, it was inexplicably brought to this prehistoric world after the nuclear war. The mercenaries were carrying a warehouse full of military supplies and ready-made transportation. All the motor vehicles in Taohuayuan were washed away by the flood, and the large-scale underground parking lot was filled with mud. Moreover, the tricycle transformed by Wu Han was so simple that it was heartbreaking. After defeating the mercenaries and entering the base east, Wu Han had seized several cars. Unfortunately, he didn't have time to be happy for a few minutes. Under Situ Bo's order, an anti-tank missile that detonated the ammunition depot made Wu Han turn into water again.
When Meng Shenji heard Wu Han’s transaction request, he smiled very cunningly and said:
"Well, selling a car is not a problem, but do you have oil?"
Indeed, no matter where the heavy trucks are produced, they are famous for their oil tigers. In this special period, it is not easy to get a car that is still usable. With the premise of cutting off the supply of oil, it is even more difficult to serve these big guys who devour oil.
Since Wu Han was determined to get the truck from Meng Shenji, he naturally had to show some sincerity, so he smiled seemingly honestly and said:
"Hahaha, there's still a little bit of diesel."
No one in this world is an idiot, but there are so many smart people. Those who always like to treat others as idiots and act smart, it is best to check if they have any water in their heads. Hearing Wu Han's reply, Meng Shenji smiled at first without saying anything, and then under Wu Han's repeated urging, he said slowly:
"Why not do this! How about Master Wu's intention when changing to a truck with two tons of diesel?"
Wu Han did not expect Meng Shenji to agree so happily. Although the price of exchanging goods for goods is really not low, it can still be obtained based on the family's assets of Peach Blossom Land, but it seems that it is not worthwhile to reveal his own details for this! When he thought of this, Wu Han immediately looked straight and said in a deep voice:
"General Meng, it's not a good habit of opening a lion's mouth!"
"It's okay, you can't buy it if you think it's expensive, I'm not in a hurry."
Meng Shenji looked at Wu Han with a kind look, obviously touching the other party's pulse, knowing that he could afford the price and wait for the price.
The nuclear winter and the flood did not help the oil storage tank hidden deep in the mountain belly. There was a lot of oil in the Peach Blossom Land, and two tons of diesel were stored. Wu Han was cruel and could afford it. After deliberately raising his appetite for a long time, Wu Han estimated that Meng Shenji would not take the opportunity to raise the price again, so he said:
"Okay, you can pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. You have to satisfy me. You can't get an old car to fool people!"
"Hahahaha, just don't worry, our Torrent Company has always been a golden sign with outstanding reputation and integrity."
The business was completed, Meng Shenji smiled happily. He turned around and compared Wang Chao with another gesture, saying:
"Captain Wang, when will the oil field you have produced oil?"
Unlike Taohuayuan and Hongliu Company, almost half of the backbone forces under Wang Chao fell to the position of fighting with the mercenaries. The grudge between him and Meng Shenji was really overwhelmed by the waters of all rivers and lakes. Although the ceasefire provided a chance to breathe for the mine protection team that was unable to persist, Wang Chao did not give Meng Shenji a good look. At this moment, when he heard Meng Shenji's question, Wang Chao immediately replied:
"Oh! The flood has washed the oil field smoothly. Some time ago, I was just dealing with President Meng. I could only take the matter there slowly. I had to ask when the oil could be produced? Hehehehe, only God knows."
Hongliu Company has a large number of motor vehicles, which certainly allows them to mobilize troops to reinforce the front line easily, and battlefield mobility and logistics supply have also become one of the main advantages, but everything is mixed. As a result, Hongliu Company has also developed an urgent need and dependence on the extremely scarce oil materials of this era, at least far more intense than the other two forces. The mining protection team has always regarded Hongliu Company as its mortal enemy, and Wang Chao will not do such stupid things as investing in the enemy. Even if the oil fields in the north are expected to partially resume production, he is expected to sell strategic materials such as gasoline and diesel to Hongliu Company calmly, and let's talk about it until the Year of the Monkey!
Meng Shenji hit a hard nail in front of Wang Chao. He just smiled. Later, Meng Shenji rubbed his chin and pulled Wu Han in a friendly manner. No matter whether the friendly attitude he made could be accepted by Wu Han, as long as Wang Chao next to him clearly sees the friendly and friendly scene between the two sides, it will probably be worth the fare for Meng Shenji to perform hard.
