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.
