Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 49 Work Report

   Fang Lang didn't care when he saw that de la Torre was eating happily. After all, Fang Lang was still very confident in the combat effectiveness of Chinese food. Regardless of de la Torre, who was eating breakfast, looked at Wan Chong and said:

   "So many breakfasts, you haven't eaten yet! Let's chat while eating!"

  Wan Chongxin is not a coy person, he got up early in the morning, bought breakfast, but did not eat it, so he picked up the breakfast on the table and started to build.

   "Well! Then I'm not welcome!"

   "How about the penicillin production equipment and production process that I asked you to ask last time?"

   Fang Lang asked while drinking porridge.

"I came here this time to explain this matter to you. I have inquired from many sources. Although the drug penicillin is not protected by patents, its preparation process and production equipment are kept secret. We have no way to buy it in the market. Production equipment."

  Wan Chongxin put down the porridge in his hand, picked up a deep-fried dough stick, shook his head before speaking.

   Fang Lang was a little surprised when he heard that he couldn't buy production equipment. Isn't the United States a free world? Why don't things without patent protection not sell production equipment!

   This is a life-saving thing, Fang Lang will not give up so easily, he took a sip of the porridge in his hand, and then slowly said:

"I understand, let's do this! In my name, send a telegram to Commodore Jackson of the U.S. Fourth Fleet, explaining that he wants to buy a penicillin production line and see what he has to say. At the same time, if I can't get it through official channels, have you found other channels?

  We have to prepare for the worst. If we can’t get it through formal channels, then we can’t find formal channels. It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat! Understand? "

  Hearing Fang Lang's words, Wan Chongxin was a little embarrassed, looked at Fang Lang hesitantly and said:

"Although I grew up in Chinatown, my mother asked me not to join gangs even if I starved to death! So, although I know where the Chinese gangs are in Chinatown, I have no intersection at all! "

   Unexpectedly, in this era, there are people like Wan Chongxin who live in Chinatown and have no contact with gangs. No wonder he was in such a miserable situation when we first met him.

   But Fang Lang thinks about it, it's better if a regular company follows the formal process, and it will be clean after checking. It's better to find a special person to take charge of the informal channels. Isn't my uncle a very suitable candidate?

"That's fine. First, you can use your own channels to help confirm who the person in charge of New York Hongmen is. I'll find another person to be in charge of this line. Remember, you only need to find out who the person in charge is. You can find them wherever you can, and you don’t need to come out and contact them yourself.”

  Della Torre on the side saw that the two were communicating in English the whole time, and didn't mean to avoid him. He didn't know what he thought of, so he stood up and said:

   "You talk, I'll go outside and have a look!"

   Fang Lang understood what he meant, obviously seeing that the topic they were talking about was a little sensitive, and worried that others would hear it, so he went outside to watch. Fang Lang was also polite, patted his arm, and nodded.

But de la Torre's idea is that he feels that Fang Lang trusts him and can let him listen in, but he can't know too much about the private affairs of the leader. It's too insignificant, so don't know too much, no matter how people ask him, he doesn't know anything.

  Seeing de la Torre's actions, Wan Chongxin couldn't help but look at him twice, and nodded with him.

  After de la Torre went out, the two began to communicate in Chinese.

   "Boss, there is no need to investigate this information. After all, I also grew up in Chinatown. Now there are many gangs in New York Chinatown. The most powerful one is the Hongmen you mentioned, but the Hongmen's main hall is in San Francisco, and the New York one is a branch.

  The head of the hall is my fellow Fujianese, his name is Fang Jinao, and he should be almost fifty years old. I don’t know where his home is, but I know that they are usually in a big restaurant in Chinatown called Sihaiyijia. If the most powerful gang forces in the United States must be them. "

   Unexpectedly, Wan Chongxin didn't mix with gangs, and he knew so much about the gang's situation, Fang Lang couldn't help but look at him twice, with an expression on his face that you wouldn't frame me.

   "Boss, don't be surprised. I have a friend who grew up with me and is now a member of the Hongmen Grand Court. That's why I know so clearly."

   "Okay! I understand. I'll arrange other people to follow up on this matter, and you don't have to worry about it anymore. Just pretend you don't know about this matter. How much money is in the company's account now!"

  Fang Lang didn't doubt Wan Chongxin's explanation. After all, as a Chinese who grew up in Chinatown, if he said that he didn't have a gangster around him, no one would believe him.

  As for why Fang Lang thought of looking for Hongmen first, the reason is very simple. One is that Hongmen is very powerful in the United States, and there are people from all walks of life. Second, Roosevelt used to be Hongmen's lawyer. With such a relationship, if you say that Hongmen has no influence in the United States, no ghost will believe it.

   "Currently, Global Trade has a capital of one million dollars in the New York headquarters. If you need it, we can transfer 18 million dollars from the Italian branch at any time."

   Fang Lang was very surprised to hear that his company had already had such a large-scale cash flow.

   "How can there be so much money? Have all the supplies we shipped back from Brazil been emptied?"

"Yes, now our company has thirteen cargo ships, and these ships have already set off from Italy. Three ships will berth in New York to load the new machinery and equipment we purchased and head to Brazil. It is expected to arrive in ten days .”

  Wan Chongxin obviously knows the company's situation better than Fang Lang.

"Since we already have so many ships in our fleet, it is necessary to set up a special shipping company. You should come forward to do this. Put all the ships under the name of this company, and the place of registration Putting it in the United States will make it easier for us to receive orders when Europe recovers. After the company is established, you can also start placing ship orders with American shipyards. Let’s see if we can quickly expand our transportation company.”

   "This may be more difficult, because the orders of American shipyards have been scheduled for four or eight years."

  Wan Chongxin is familiar with the situation of American shipyards. The transportation of aid materials has never stopped. Ships are sunk every day at sea. Therefore, the United States keeps piling up the number of ships every day.

"This is not possible. Now many places in Italy and France have been recovered by the Allies. You will send a telegram to Kerns after you go back today. I remember that Genoa, Italy, has a very developed steel and shipbuilding industry. Our global trade cannot just stay around the world." in name,

Genoa is still in the hands of the Germans. According to the current progress of the war, the Allied forces will definitely regain Genoa by the end of May. When the Allied forces have just occupied Genoa, we can directly sell it and get a high-quality one at the lowest price. shipyard.

  We must have our own shipbuilding industry, and at the same time see if we can acquire a steel factory. The demand for revived steel in Europe will be very strong.

At the same time, you are in New York to see if there is an opportunity to set up a shipbuilding and steel company. Taking advantage of the current strong support for such companies in the United States, first establish the company and use the name of these two companies to hold shares in Italian companies .

  Although we entered the market late and could not keep up with the dividends of the war, we can start to apply for patents on containers and container ships. At that time, we will directly eliminate all the current freighters.

   No, not only in Italy and the United States, you organize manpower as soon as possible, and start buying shipyards and steel factories in Britain, France, and Germany. We need to build our own container ship empire in the shortest possible time. At the same time, we will acquire terminals in these countries and build our own container terminals. At that time, we will be the largest logistics giant in the world. "
