When Itomatsu learned who Mike Carlisle was, his mind exploded.

I really can't blame the Japanese for being small-minded, the southern Africans have enough resources, the Japanese work hard, rely on the money earned by women to build a ***** circle, can't buy the ore of southern Africa, can only go to the United States to pick up the rags, I didn't expect that now the southern Africans have to grab even this bit of rags.

This is simply not giving a way to live.

It's like two neighbors, one eats big fish and meat every day, and the other eats bran vegetables every day, and finally bought some meat for the New Year and wanted to eat dumplings, but was snatched away by the neighbor's dog.

It's no wonder that this Nima mentality doesn't blow up.

Ito Song still has a few acquaintances in the United States, and he has a lot of energy, and Ito Song finds Spike Dalton, a senior manager at Mobil Oil Company in New Jersey, hoping to understand Mike Carlisle's true purpose through Spike Dalton.

"Those Britons in southern Africa are bastards, they are unscrupulous, they are incorruptible, as long as there is profit, they are like crocodiles that smell blood." There was extensive competition between Mobil Oil and Adan in southern Africa, and Spike Dalton had no good opinion of southern Africans.

In 1870, Rockefeller founded Exxon-Mobil Oil, and by 1882, Exxon-Mobil had become the first trust in American history.

In 1892, the court ruled that the Mobil Oil Trust was an unlawful monopoly, and Rockefeller was forced to transfer the property to the branches, but the original board of directors remained centralized.

In the United States, Mobil Oil used to be in a monopoly position, but this situation has changed greatly because of Adan Company, and Mobil Oil's current business is strongly impacted by Adan Company.

When Washington Automobile used the Adan Petroleum Company as a gimmick, it claimed that as long as you buy Washington Cars, you can enjoy a 10% discount forever in Adan Company.

"So we have to react and we can't let southern Africa run rampant, they're destroying our market." Itomatsu gritted his teeth, Japan needs not only American steel, but also American oil, and without American support, Japanese industry will be uncompetitive.

"It's not as simple as you say, although the southern Africans are arrogant, they have not broken the bottom line, and it is difficult to curb the ambitions of the southern Africans through normal means." Spike Dalton hasn't lost his mind yet, and Mike Carlisle wants to buy steel, which is essentially normal business practice, and no one is qualified to blame.

It's no wonder that the Japanese are too stingy, in fact, there is no need to be so angry, Itomatsu can offer a higher price than Mike Carlisle, so Mike Carlisle will naturally back down.

"The Southern Africans have no intention of buying scrap ships at all, they are deliberately undermining the good cooperation that has always been between us and the shipping association, and if we allow this to happen, then our trust in each other will be ruined, which will be a disaster for both of us." Itomatsu has seen through Mike Carlisle's purpose, this guy is really British, and what he is best at is stirring up.

"Ito, to be honest, we all know this, but we have no position to accuse." Spike Dalton means that whoever offers the highest price will sell it to whomever he wants.

Itomatsu was silent, he actually wanted to be ruthless, but unfortunately he didn't have enough confidence.

If it were Mike Carlisle, he could have said that if the shipping association dared to cooperate with other people, then there would never be any possibility of cooperation between them.

Japan still needs a tattered blood transfusion from the United States, so Itomatsu would never dare to say this.

"I suggest you go directly to Mr. Carlyle, there is no conflict of interest between Washington Motors and you, and the bell must be tied to the bell." Spike Dalton tactfully persuades that he doesn't want to offend Mike Carlisle either.

Mobil Oil also hopes to cooperate with Washington Motors in the future, and there is no need for Washington Motors to pay the price, as long as Washington Motors adds a sentence in the advertisement: as long as you buy Washington Motors, then you can also enjoy preferential discounts at Mobil Oil's gas stations.

Itomatsu smiled wryly, he had just been to the Washington car and wanted to meet Mike Carlisle.

It's a pity that Mike Carlisle is out on vacation, and Mike Carlisle's secretary doesn't know when Mike Carlisle will return.

It may be that Mike Carlisle is avoiding, maybe Mike Carlisle will be in the office when Itomatsu goes.

"If you'd like, I can put you in touch—" Spike Dalton tossed an olive branch.

"Then please—" Itomatsu was a little more relaxed, as long as he could meet Mike Carlisle, then things would turn around.

Compared with Itomatsu, the senior manager of Mobil Oil in New Jersey is indeed more face-saving.

The next day, Itomatsu met Mike Carlisle at the high-end restaurant at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

"Hello, Mr. Carlyle—" Itomatsu is very polite, as the Japanese always do, on the surface it seems to be polite, but in fact the inside is dark and the appearance is not the same as the male thief and the female prostitute.

"Hello, Mr. Ito, I heard Spike say that you are in the steel business, are you interested in buying steel from southern Africa?" Mike Carlyle's words made Itomatsu overjoyed, if he could buy steel from southern Africa, who would want those rags from the Americans-

"Really? That's great, thank you very much—" Itomatsu thanked him repeatedly, his expression so exaggerated that Spike Dalton couldn't stand it.

However, Mike Carlyle's next words immediately made Spike Dalton laugh: "Don't rush to thank you yet, the quality of our steel in southern Africa is very good, so the price is a bit high-"

Nima –

Itomatsu almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

It is not that southern Africa does not sell steel to the Japanese, but the price is too high for the Japanese to afford, so they can only go to the United States to collect rags.

Mike Carlisle said this as if he didn't say it, if Japan can afford it, will it still use Mike Carlisle to help?

Mike Carlisle looked at Itomatsu with a constipated face with a smile, his heart was very happy, and the feeling of flirting with people was still very good.

"Mr. Carlyle, I heard that you Washington Motors want to get involved in the steel industry, what's the matter, don't you have enough steel?" Ito Matsu calms down and is not angry, whoever is angry is a puppy.

"No, no, no, not at all, you know, the Kingdom of Mozambique and West Africa bought the hulls of four battleships from France, which are being remodeled in southern Africa, and we want to try it too." Mike Carlisle found a reason casually, it was indeed a casual one, and his perfunctory attitude could simply overflow the screen.

"Try what?" Itomatsu's head was instantaneous, and he couldn't think of any connection between the two.

France's four "Normandy" class battleships have been completed to more than 50 percent, and they are worth renovating.

Those scrapped ships in the United States are outdated and backward in power, and they are basically on the verge of being scrapped, so Japan is interested in buying them back and recasting them, even if they spend a little more money.

The reason why the United States often uses abandoned warships as target ships is because if they are dismantled and recycled, the cost may be more expensive than the steel obtained after recycling, so the United States simply uses scrapped ships as target ships.

Japan does not have so many resources to waste, and must live carefully to keep up with the pace of defense modernization.

Southern Africa has no less resources than the United States, and the navy often uses scrap ships as target ships for training, and Japan also wants to buy scrap ships from southern Africa, but unfortunately the Ministry of Defense of Southern Africa does not look down on the little money of the Japanese, and would rather sink the scrap ships as target ships than sell them to Japan.

"Try to convert those abandoned merchant ships into aircraft carriers - you don't know, the first aircraft carrier in the United States was converted from coal carriers." As soon as Mike Carlyle opened his mouth, the first aircraft carrier of the United States, the USS Langley, was indeed converted from a coal carrier.

"Retrofitting an aircraft carrier with a coal carrier?" Itomatsu is incredulous that Britain's first aircraft carrier seems to have been built in southern Africa.

So, Southern Africa is now going to try to convert merchant ships into aircraft carriers?

Doesn't sound realistic.

"Yes, to transform an aircraft carrier with a coal carrier, a cruise ship into a hospital ship, a freighter into a supply ship—" Mike Carlisle said seriously.

"We still have some tankers that are about to be phased out, do you want them?" Spike Dalton is fun, this is also a waste use.

"Yes, drag it back to southern Africa and fill it with wine, and then drive it back and sell it to you—" Mike Carlisle vicious, oil-flavored wine, anticipating it?

Itomatsu finally realizes that Mike Carlisle and Spike Dalton are making fun of him.

"Seriously, Mike, Washington Motors can also cooperate with our Mobil Oil, what kind of conditions Adan gives you, we Mobil Oil will give you what kind of conditions." Spike Dalton wasn't kidding, he didn't come to Mike Carlisle for Itomatsu.

"Yes, but we have to sign an exclusive contract, and Mobil must ensure that it cannot give similar conditions to other auto companies." Mike Carlisle also turned to Mobil Oil, not to mention the aggressiveness of Adan Company, in fact, Mobil Oil's dominant position in the American market is still unshakable.

Mobil Oil was the first trust in the United States, and there is no doubt about its strength.

"Yes, but in this way, we're going to offend Ford to death—" Spike Dalton smiled wryly, and there was always a gain and a loss, and the blame was that Ford was too arrogant to keep up with Washington's pace.

Deserve!

Itomatsu didn't speak, and watched Mike Carlisle and Spike Dalton reach a cooperation intention in just a few words, and he was in a trance for a while.

This Nimayang devil really can't be trusted.
