Chapter 165 Help 2
"Alliance leader, there is actually one more thing. Yanzhou hopes you can help buy some mechanical equipment.
They are not picky about anything, and it would be even better if they could have oil extraction and refining equipment. ” Cui Wenying said in a low voice.
Hou Xiaoge was stunned when he heard this. Yanzhou Petroleum is so famous! In the future, anyone from Qin Province will know the famous Kepai.
Yanzhou's oil production is extremely high, and it is still being mined on a large scale even in later generations.
However, in this era, oil extraction in Yanzhou can only be described as a child's peeing, it is too little!
Some time ago, there were voices in Changan that wanted to impose sanctions on Yanzhou because Yanzhou's daily oil production suddenly reached 2,000 barrels per month.
When Hou Xiaoge heard about this output, he wanted to laugh. Two thousand barrels a month was not as good as the output of a few minutes in later generations.
However, Xiao also admires the difficulties faced by the Chinese ancestors of that era. It can only be described as a miracle that they were able to build a great country under such difficult circumstances.
“Master Cui, it’s easy to buy machinery, but the government certainly won’t allow it to be sold. There is no such thing as a wall that’s impenetrable.
Once we sell machinery and equipment to Yanzhou, we will immediately become a thorn in the eyes of the government." Hou Xiaoge shook his head helplessly.
In fact, Hou Xiaoge also had a plan, which was to secretly support the Red Army and transport it over secretly by himself. However, at that time there were many people from the Kuomintang on the Red Army side, and it would be easy for the news to leak out.
"Alliance leader, how about this? You contact America, preferably a foreigner.
I am contacting both the Guohong parties. After the factory is invested in Yanzhou, the oil produced in Yanzhou can only be sold by our Yanhuang League.
As for the government, we will give up some of the profits, and then we will sell the oil at a fair price to make a profit. They are in urgent need of oil now, so they should agree. "Cui Wenying said her plan.
Hou Xiaoge took a deep look at the Information Hall Master. This guy was trying to dance on the edge of a knife!
But he likes it.
Hou Xiaoge still agreed with Cui Wenying's plan. After the oil refinery goes into production, it doesn't matter which side of the Guo or Hong will benefit more.
The biggest beneficiary is the country. With fuel, they can fight the Japanese more effectively. Hou Xiaoge strongly supports this point.
"Master Cui, please tell the Guohong and Guohong parties that the oil refinery invested by the Yanhuang League is not for making money but for the war of resistance.
As long as they support us, we will give up the ownership of the oil refinery and give it to them after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War." Hou Xiaoge raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile.
The war of resistance still lasts for several years! By that time, Xiaoge's investment will have been recovered, and the purpose of supporting the war of resistance will have been achieved. It doesn't matter if a small oil factory is abandoned.
"Leader, are you playing such a big game? I heard that investing in an oil mining and refining plant costs tens of millions, aren't you afraid of going bankrupt?" Cui Wenying was stunned.
"I returned to China to fight the war, and I would do anything to fight the war.
Besides, after the oil refinery is put into operation, the right to sell the oil will be in our hands.
So you have to negotiate the fuel benefits carefully, and it would be best if you can recover your investment within one or two years." Hou Xiaoge sat up straight and said seriously.
"Got it, leader. I will contact Guohong right away. After your machine comes back, we will have formal negotiations." Cui Wenying left Hou Xiaoge's office excitedly.
Watching Cui Wenying leave, Hou Xiaoge shook his head helplessly.
Sometimes he really doesn't want to make trouble in China. After all, it is his own country. It is easy for a person like him with a golden finger to make historical deviations if he makes trouble in China.
If it was a good thing, it would be fine, but he is afraid that something serious would happen, because then he would be a sinner of the nation.
After leaving the Yanhuang Alliance, Hou Xiaoge returned home.
Yesterday, when uncle Hou Yangmin brought Erda's family back, except for the villagers who were shocked, all the other families were very happy.
Looking at Erda's missing leg, Hou Xiaoge still remembered when he had just traveled through time and he and his brother went out to get food, and Erda's anxious look and breathless expression.
Especially the second aunt, when she saw the villagers living and working in peace and contentment in Qin Province, she regretted so much that she almost fainted from tears.
This was not the most fatal thing. After seeing the situation of Hou Xiaoge, her uncle and her aunt's families, Second Aunt almost collapsed.
Hou Xiaoge's three families all had several cave dwellings, and there were several piles of firewood in the yard. The kang was burning red in the winter, and there were a dustpan of steamed bread and pancakes in the kitchen.
In the eyes of Second Aunt Li Cuihua, his family originally had some of the same conditions as the other families, but now they were almost starving to death, and this would break anyone's defenses.
After a welcoming ceremony, Second Aunt and her family temporarily stayed at Hou Xiaoge's house, after all, Hou Xiaoge's family had many cave dwellings.
It is a disaster year now. If it were other families in the village, there would definitely be conflicts if this continued, but Hou Xiaoge's family is well off, so there is nothing to worry about.
However, this cannot continue in the long run. Before Erda's family came, Hou Xiaoge's family had meat every other day and their living conditions were very good.
But we can’t do this after Erda’s family came! At first, there was an excuse that eating and drinking well was to help Erda’s family replenish their bodies, but later, eating and drinking well every day would easily offend people over time.
This is just like a beggar going to the landlord's house to beg for food. He gives the food for several months, and then suddenly one day the landlord goes out on a business trip and doesn't give him any food. When the landlord returns home, the beggar will say that the landlord owes him food.
So Hou Xiaoge contacted his uncle and aunt, and the three families worked together and decided that each family would sponsor some money to the Erda family to help the Erda family get established as soon as possible.
Even though my uncle and aunt's family are living a prosperous life now, they don't have much money. Each family donated six dollars.
The money that Hou Yangmin used to go to Central Plains was given by Hou Xiaoge, and he returned it after he came back.
Hou Xiaoge's cheap mother is now a wealthy woman. She keeps all the profits from the family's meat sales. She usually only buys small things for them, and the bulk items such as food are bought by Hou Xiaoge.
So, considering that Erda and Second Aunt had taken care of the two brothers in the past, they directly sponsored twenty dollars.
In fact, the money came from my cheap mother, who was so generous that I wanted to give six yuan at that time, but I only gave it to her after Hou Xiaoge asked for it.
After receiving the huge sum of thirty-two oceans, Erda and his family immediately bought land and dug a kiln.
The villagers were bored in winter, so Brother Hou hired twenty people for a huge sum of ten cents a day, plus a meal.
Although the weather in winter is not very good, it is impossible for it to snow every day. Moreover, the frozen soil is only a few dozen centimeters. If you dig slowly on the first day, you will be much faster later.
So it took twenty people only ten days to dig two six-meter-deep caves.
The expenses during this period were not small. In addition to the twenty dollars that Erda took, Hou Xiaoge's family also spent more than 400 kilograms of bran and sweet potatoes and more than 400 kilograms of wood and wheat.
Needless to say, bran and sweet potatoes were provided to the workers for food. In winter, people only had one meal if they didn't work, and they had to stay at home to survive.
Although they had two meals while working, the villagers were not rich and only had enough to eat. So the host did not provide food, and the hired workers could not dig, wasting money.
