Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 386 Arms Transaction

   Just when Fang Lang successfully manufactured the Z-4 ​​electronic computer for his company's laboratory, it was not easy, and he began to think about how to lay out the upcoming European revival plan.

   Ji Wanchang, who was far away in the United States, also met the arms supplier Fang Lang introduced to him.

  The other party was a fat white man who seemed to weigh more than two hundred catties. His face was covered with beards and a big protruding belly. Just by looking at him, one would think that this guy was not a good person.

   There are a few strong men who look like younger brothers behind him. Just one glance at Ji Wanchang feels that this guy is more of an underworld than an arms dealer.

  However, since it was introduced by Fang Lang, and he has already come to the United States, he must bite the bullet and keep in touch.

   "Mr. Simmons, nice to meet you!"

  Facing the fat white man in front of him who didn't look easy to provoke, Ji Wanchang tried his best not to appear so harmless.

  After all, I came here to buy and sell, not to cause trouble, so there is no need to conflict with the other party.

  But Simmons looked at the thin middle-aged Chinese man in front of him with some surprise. He is a distributor of Shata Company on the east coast, and in fact, he is not much different from the salesperson under Shata Company.

   At the beginning, he was a salesman of the Shata Company. In order to make money, Simmons thought of many ways. As a person born in the bottom of the poor, he did not have a deep political or foreign background.

  In Shata Company, there are many salesmen like him. In order to complete their performance, most of them go to those less developed countries and go directly to the governments of various countries to sell weapons and equipment.

  At first, he also followed the same routine to promote in some Asian and African countries.

But he soon discovered that these governments were either the colonies of certain countries, or they were puppets supported by certain big countries. If they wanted to purchase arms, they had to buy them from those big countries, and they would never buy from a private person like him. Buy on hand.

  Even if he is an American company.

   Therefore, he quickly began to change his thinking, looking for some guerrillas and anti-government armed forces that opposed the government, and even those armed forces in Asian and African countries that were seeking independence.

   Selling his weapons and equipment to them, this road is obviously possible, so his performance soon began to improve by leaps and bounds.

   Has a lot of reputation in many places.

   But the same, because his behavior caused dissatisfaction among many traditional European colonial countries, especially when he contacted King Idris of Libya and sold a large amount of weapons and equipment to him.

  Give the opponent the courage to say no to the British and French colonists. Now Libya is in a period of political turmoil, and King Idris is seeking independence.

   This put Simmons in the eyes of the British and French governments. Regarding this point, neither the US government nor the Shata company could stand up and endorse Simmons.

   Therefore, Simmons had to pay extra attention to his personal safety. The younger brothers who are now with him are actually bodyguards he hired.

   Fortunately, because of his outstanding performance, Shata Company did not treat him badly.

  Allowed him to independently open a foreign trade company, be his own boss, and become one of the largest distributors of Shata Company.

   Of course, this is also a means for the Shata company to avoid political risks.

   After all, after Shata Company sold the arms to Simmons, it has nothing to do with Shata Company to whoever Simmons sells to.

   This kind of operation is too common.

   And Simmons will not refuse such a request. After all, by setting up his own company, he can get goods from Shata Company at a lower price and earn higher profits after selling them.

  The reason why Simmons looked at Ji Wanchang in surprise was mainly because Ji Wanchang called his home directly to ask him to buy arms.

   You must know that Simmons is very aware that the business he is doing is very offensive. Now he is a registered figure in the British and French governments. Maybe a killer will come to him that day.

   Therefore, he is very careful about his own safety, and there are very few people who can know where his family lives.

   And his arms business is always negotiated in the company. Even if someone needs to contact him, they will send a telegram to his company or call his company.

  But Ji Wanchang got his home phone number from nowhere, which shocked Simmons.

  So, he was very afraid of Ji Wanchang.

  At first, he was afraid that the other side would buy arms for him, whether it was a trap set by the enemy for him.

  After many trials, it was finally determined that Ji Wanchang was indeed here to purchase arms, not for his own life.

   Therefore, of course, when meeting Ji Wanchang for the first time, he would be very surprised.

  After seeing Ji Wanchang's attitude, he also heaved a long sigh of relief, laughed loudly, stepped forward and held Ji Wanchang's hand, and gave him a big hug and said:

   "Haha. You must be Boss Ji, welcome to New York."

   As he spoke, he led the other party to the reception area of ​​the office.

  The place where the two met this time was Simmons' company in New York. This is also the office that Simmons leased in the bustling downtown area of ​​New York for security reasons.

   After all, this kind of place is full of policemen, even if someone wants to attack him, he has to consider whether it will cause bad consequences.

  For mysterious customers like Ji Wanchang, Simmons had to be even more careful.

  The two sat behind the reception area, and the younger brothers stood behind them. No matter how you look at it, this is a typical underworld negotiation.

   Fortunately, Ji Wanchang was originally the head of the Hongmen, so he was used to this kind of situation, so there was nothing wrong with him.

  Now, after being instructed by Fang Lang, he no longer thinks about obtaining the support of the U.S. government by purchasing arms from the United States. Just treat this as a simple arms procurement business.

  The other party acted like a gangster, and he didn't mind, as long as the other party didn't cheat, and could really provide the ammunition he wanted.

  So, he straight to the point took out the list of weapons that Fang Lang had arranged for him from his arms, put it on the table and pushed it in front of Simmons:

   "Mr. Simmons, here is the list of goods I want. Please help me to see if I can provide it."

   Originally, Simmons was surprised when he saw the other party put his hand into his arms, but he was relieved when he saw that the other party took out only a list.

  After listening to the other party's question, he was not polite. He picked up the other party's list from the table and looked at it.

   Just glanced at it, and his eyes lit up.

   This is not a small business!

  Although he was very curious about the origin of the other party, it was obviously not a simple role for the other party to be able to easily find his home phone number.

   Therefore, he didn't dare to inquire about the other party's details, but the other party casually threw out such a large purchase list, which still made his eyes shine.

  Hearing the other party ask if he could provide it, he felt a little strange again. After all, anyone who is knowledgeable knows that Shata Company stands behind him, not to mention the light weapons in this list that Ji Wanchang took out.

  As long as you can afford it, he can provide even large equipment such as tanks, airplanes, and warships.

   "Haha. Boss Ji, I'm joking.

  As far as the equipment in your list is concerned, it means nothing to us. If necessary, I can take you to the warehouse to pick up the goods right now. "

  Ji Wanchang couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard this. It seems that the suppliers provided by Mr. Fang are really very capable.

  Originally, looking at the other party as a gang member like himself, I thought that the other party could only sell small arms in a small way. But now the other party's confident performance really made him feel relieved.

  However, after talking with Fang Lang, Ji Wanchang became a lot more cautious. He now has a concern about how to transport so many weapons and equipment to Malaya.

   You must know that the British are not blind and deaf. It is not easy not to attract their attention if such a large amount of weapons and equipment wants to land in Malaya.

  So, he pondered for a while and said:

   "Mr. Simmons, I don't know how to calculate the cost of sending this shipment to the place we designated?"

  In the arms business, one has to be responsible for transportation, which is very troublesome for Ji Wanchang, but not a problem for Simmons at all.

  As long as you can afford it, it’s okay to ask him to deliver it to the gate of the White House now.

   Seeing Ji Wanchang's attitude, Simmons was completely relieved. The other party should not have come to kill him. After all, the attitude shown by the other party was indeed to find customers who wanted to purchase arms from him.

   Moreover, it is still a very high-quality customer, because the other party seems to be conducting this kind of transaction for the first time.

   Now I just don't know how the other party's economic strength is.

  Hearing Ji Wanchang ask about the price, Simmons beckoned to a younger brother behind him, signaling him to come over and calculate the price of the product carefully.

   smiled and said to Ji Wanchang:

   "Boss Ji, please wait a moment, let's calculate the price of the goods first. Please also tell me where the destination of your goods is, so that I can tell you the overall price."

  Seeing the other party asking about his specific destination, Ji Wanchang hesitated. After all, once he told his destination, the other party must know what his purpose is.

   But relying on himself, he was not sure that such a large batch of goods would be transported to his destination quietly without being discovered by the British.

  Simons knows what the other party is worried about when he sees the other party's expression.

   Now he felt more relieved, looked at the other party's appearance, he smiled and said:

   "Boss Ji, please rest assured!

  Although I don't know who you know me through, I have to say that your energy is very strong.

  I don't want to offend a person with such a powerful energy, and I don't intend to pry into your details.

   But since it is a business, whether you like it or not, I will have a rough guess about your destination.

  So, you don't have to worry about me divulging my clients' information. Keeping my clients' confidentiality is the basic principle of my Simmons business.

  Besides, even if you don't tell me, I can still have a rough guess. After all, your skin color and appearance can explain many things, can't they? "

   What Simmons said was very honest.

  When Ji Wanchang heard it, he also knew that what the other party said was very reasonable. After all, his Chinese appearance was really conspicuous, and there was no point in trying to cover it up.

   Moreover, the other party is the arms seller introduced by Fang Lang, and he also has a basic trust in the other party.

  So, after pondering for a while, he slowly opened his mouth and said:

   "You're right, I judged the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!

  I believe you can also tell that I am an Asian, and the destination of my goods is Malaya. I wonder if Mr. Simmons can help me deliver the goods directly to the location I specify in Malaya. "

  Simmons' eyes lit up when he heard this, Malaya is the market he is trying to open up! Unexpectedly, before he passed by, someone from somewhere had already come to the door on his own initiative.

   This is really a big surprise. As for Malaya being a colony of the British, it has nothing to do with Simmons. The British will not take care of his business and will not give him money to earn.

   Besides, he didn't know how many arms he sold to the hostile forces of Britain and France in Africa.

   Are you still afraid of selling more in Southeast Asia?

  Actually, this is why Fang Lang introduced Simmons to Ji Wanchang.

  Because, as long as this guy has money to earn, he doesn't care who the buyer of the arms is, and who he is going to fight with.

   "Haha. Mr. Ji is refreshing.

  Door-to-door delivery is originally one of our company's services, as long as you can afford it, let alone deliver it to Malaya, even if it is delivered to the gate of Buckingham Palace for the British, there is no problem.

   I don't know, do you have any requirements on the delivery time? "

  Ji Wanchang secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the other party's words. It seems that the other party's strength really cannot be underestimated!

   But that's fine too, since the other party can tell you about the delivery without any scruples, they must have the ability.

  When he heard the other party asking if there was any requirement for the delivery time, Ji Wanchang was taken aback again. What does it mean? Is it because the distance is too far and the delivery time is relatively long, or the delivery time is different, and the shipping cost is different?

  Is it possible for the other party to transport directly by air?

   Looking up at the other party in surprise, he still bit the bullet and said:

   "Of course, the sooner the better!"

  Simmons heard the words, nodded with a smile and said:

   "No problem, it happens that Malaya is very close to the Philippines, and the quantity of goods you want is not much, I can find a way to transfer the goods from the Philippines for you.

   When the time comes, you give me a specific address, and I'll send someone to deliver it directly to your door! "

  At this time, the younger brother who was in charge of calculating the amount came to Simmons with a folder, and handed the folder to Simmons. Simmons took it, opened it and looked at it, and his eyes lit up.

   This is really a big deal!

   After thinking for a while, Simmons said directly:

   "Boss Ji, this is our first time doing business, and I don't make much money from you. Including the shipping fee, the total is 100,000 US dollars. What do you think?"

  Ji Wanchang was shocked when he heard this. The price really exceeded his expectations. Originally, he planned to purchase equipment for 2,000 people, but after communicating with Fang Lang, the equipment in this list was enough to arm 3,000 people.

  And he only brought 100 kilograms of gold. In Brazil, Xinshui took him to the bank to change it into US dollars, which was a full 123,500 US dollars.

  At first, he was worried that the amount of equipment had increased, and now there was also the shipping fee, which would cost about 150,000 U.S. dollars.

   Unexpectedly, the other party calculated for a while, and the shipping cost was only one hundred thousand dollars. The $120,000 that I brought was still left over.

   It seems that there is enough money to recruit American veterans.

   It seems that the arms dealer that Fang Lang introduced to him is really a high-quality arms dealer!

   What's even more powerful is that the other party even casually said that they want to transfer goods from the Philippines.

   Where in the Philippines are there so many arms!

  As long as someone with a bit of a brain can quickly figure out where the other party is planning to allocate arms for him.
