Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat
Chapter 12 Buying a Boat
"Are you serious about buying another ship for transportation? The current shipping route is very dangerous. German submarines are everywhere. If there is no fleet escort, they will be easily sunk." Commodore Jackson heard Fang Lang thinking.
I was very surprised when I came up with the idea of buying my own transport ship.
"My plan is to move my transport ship with the escort fleet, which will be safer. I don't know if Uncle Jackson has any suitable ships that he can sell to me." Fang Lang knew that it was not impossible to buy ships outside, but
The price of buying captured ships from Commodore Jackson is definitely cheaper than buying them directly on the market.
"Now we do have a few transport ships captured from the enemy, but the tonnage is not as large as the Liberty Ship, and the maximum load capacity is only 5,000 tons. If you are sure you want to buy it, I will ask the following to buy it.
You can check it out and choose a suitable ship for you. But the price of the ship is not cheap! Each one costs at least 50,000 US dollars." Brigadier General Jackson naturally had no idea about Fang Lang buying a transport ship owned by the US military.
No, some transport ships are idle now because the US military crews are nervous.
The U.S. military did not dare to use Italian crews. First, it was afraid that spies would sneak into the fleet to convey fleet information to the Germans. Second, the Italians were resistant to fleets participating in military purposes.
"Uncle Jackson is so kind. Can you buy one for fifty thousand dollars? Then I want three ships first. I will pay fifty-five thousand dollars for each ship, of which fifty thousand, I will pay to the U.S. Navy Department.
I will let my Global Trading Import and Export Co., Ltd. in the United States pay the other five thousand to Mrs. Jackson's private account in the form of consulting fees." Although a second-hand cargo ship worth $50,000 is not particularly cheap, it can be purchased through
Fang Lang would not give up such a good opportunity by purchasing a freighter to further deepen his relationship with Commodore Jackson.
Brigadier General Jackson obviously didn't expect that Fang Lang would make such a showy move, and he obviously didn't know how to respond for a while. After a while, he took a deep look at Fang Lang and said, "If you buy three ships, you will indeed
Help us relieve a lot of our burden, so be it! I take the decision to lower the price to US$45,000 for a five-thousand-ton vessel."
"Thank you, Uncle Jackson, for taking care of my nephew. In this case, I will pay the U.S. Navy Department $45,000 for each ship, and Mrs. Jackson's consulting fee is $10,000. I don't know if Uncle Jackson thinks it is appropriate.
!" When Fang Lang heard Brigadier General Jackson's answer, he obviously agreed with his idea. This is too simple. As long as Brigadier General Jackson accepts the consultation fee, many things in the future will be easy to solve.
Already.
"The consulting fee of 10,000 US dollars per ship is too high. Let's pay 5,000 US dollars! It won't make you suffer too much. It's not easy for young people just starting business. I will arrange for the Navy to select the latest and best three ships.
It will be delivered to you, and your ship will be fully inspected and handed over to you after it is filled with fuel." Commodore Jackson is obviously a good partner who can do things for money, and he is extremely considerate. Anyway, he doesn't need these things.
He pays, and the U.S. government will foot the bill.
"Thank you so much Uncle Jackson. I wonder if my nephew can have a warehouse of his own in the Navy Warehouse. My nephew has some goods that need to be stored, but he is worried that it will be unsafe if placed outside, so he wants to rent a room in the Navy Warehouse.
Warehouse to store goods."
This kind of trivial matter was nothing to Brigadier General Jackson, and he directly arranged it for Fang Lang: "I will notify our naval logistics later to allocate an additional warehouse to your Brazilian Expeditionary Force, but this warehouse will not notify you of Brazil."
Expeditionary Force, you personally sign for it on behalf of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force Navy, do you understand?"
"Uncle Jackson, I also hope that you can continue to help my nephew pay attention to some high-quality ships. You can rest assured that my nephew will pay according to the current price for each ship. In addition, I wonder if my uncle can provide five passes to facilitate our travel.
Vehicles go in and out of military camps and carry goods." Fang Lang's demand for ships is naturally the more the better. After the end of World War II, there will be a rapid economic recovery, and the United States will soon start the Marshall Plan in Europe to help Europe rebuild its economic order.
At this time, having a large fleet would make Fang Lang a fortune. In this way, Fang Lang quickly reached a strategic partnership with Commodore Jackson. After leaving the office, Fang Lang went directly to the logistics warehouse.
District, received a warehouse that nominally belonged to the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, but actually belonged to itself. The warehouse area is more than a thousand square meters, and the height of the warehouse is more than ten meters.
When Fang Lang and the crew of the Charles Jos moved all the goods into the warehouse, they could not fill a quarter of the warehouse. When Bojan Gambino and others drove five trucks and followed
When Fang Lang drove into the military restricted area, the shock in his heart was unintentional and he did not dare to have any bad thoughts.
After completing the transaction, the Gambino family directly deposited one million U.S. dollars into Fang Lang's account at Bank of America. Bank of America's predecessor was the Bank of Italy in 1904, and in 1929 it merged with the Bank of America in California.
After the merger, it was renamed Bank of America. Therefore, it is very convenient to carry out deposit and withdrawal services in the United States and Italy.
The remaining US$375,000 was delivered in cash to Fang Lang. When Fang Lang placed more than US$150,000 in front of the crew of the Charles Joyce, the impact on the crew was
It was unprecedented, especially since there were several captains from other ships invited by Captain Cross.
The atmosphere reached a climax when Fang Lang returned three times the income to the crew based on the crew list and the amount of investment each one made.
"Brothers, thank you for your support in this business. We have achieved a complete victory. Because I have completed the assessment of being on the ship, I will not be able to live and die on the same boat as you in the future. But I will not forget the friendship with you.
Friendship, I will never forget everyone's help to me, so I decided to share this channel of making money with everyone. I don't know if you want it or not." After Fang Lang divided the profits, he started an exciting speech. Of course
, the purpose is to allow the crew to continue to provide themselves with a steady supply of cigarettes.
"I want it, I want it..." Everyone shouted in unison, their voices almost breaking through the deck.
Fang Lang quickly pressed down his hands to signal everyone to keep a low profile.
After everyone's voices quietened down, he said: "I know everyone is very excited and want to make a fortune, but I still want to make it clear to everyone. First of all, we are transporting the goods to Italy for sale through private entrainment, so
Everyone should keep a low profile and not attract the attention of the military police and the big bosses of the Admiralty. Secondly, because this kind of goods is carried at your own risk, just like this time, you all pay for it in global trade.
After receiving the delivery voucher, the Italian branch of the Import and Export Co., Ltd. went to the New York Terminal Office of the headquarters of New York Global Trade Import and Export Co., Ltd. to pick up the goods. The amount of goods to be picked up is determined according to everyone's own economic strength and transportation strength.
After storing all the goods in Italy, Global Trading Company will inspect the warehouse in the dock storage area, and then you can directly receive payment three times the purchase price. Do you all understand?"
"Understood! But we don't know where these two companies are! Our time is very tight, but we don't have much time to search everywhere for the addresses of these two companies!" Someone soon spoke.
"This time! I will help you deliver the bill of lading from the Italian branch to the dock later. As for the dock office in New York, it is also easy to find. You can see it more than a hundred meters after leaving the dock. Of course, if you
If you don’t want to look for more than 100 meters, then you should just watch your brothers get rich! Money has no fate with you."
Everyone laughed.
Now Fang Lang only needs to register a branch in Italy and recruit good personnel to establish a cigarette import and export channel from the United States to Italy.
When the fleet grows later, the company will take off rapidly.
