Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat

Chapter 386 Arms Deal

Just when Fang Lang was overjoyed that his company's laboratory had successfully manufactured the Z-4 ​​electronic computer, he began to think about how to lay out the European revival plan that was about to be implemented.

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

The other person was a fat white man who seemed to weigh more than 200 kilograms. He had a fat face with beards and a protruding belly. Just one look at him made people think that this guy was not a good person.

Behind him were a few strong men who looked like younger brothers. Just by looking at Ji Wanchang, he felt that this guy was more interested in the underworld than an arms dealer.

However, since it was Fang Lang who introduced him, he has already come to the United States, so he must bite the bullet and get in touch.

"Mr. Simmons, nice to meet you!"

Regarding the fat white man in front of him who seemed not to be trifled with, Ji Wanchang tried his best to act as harmless as possible.

After all, I am here to do business, not to cause trouble. There is no need to conflict with the other party.

But Simmons looked at the lean middle-aged Chinese man in front of him with some surprise. He was a distributor of Shata Company on the east coast. In fact, he was not much different from the salesman of Shata Company.

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

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

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

But he soon discovered that these governments were either colonies of certain countries, or puppets supported by certain big countries. If they wanted to purchase arms, they had to buy from those big countries. They would not buy from private individuals like him.

Purchase on hand.

Not even if it is an American company.

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

Selling his weapons and equipment to them was obviously a feasible path, so his performance soon began to improve by leaps and bounds.

It has gained quite a reputation in many places.

But also, because his behavior caused dissatisfaction with many traditional European colonialist countries, especially his contact with King Idris of Libya and selling large quantities of weapons and equipment to him.

It gave the other side 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 Simons in the eyes of the British and French governments. Neither the U.S. government nor Shatta Corporation would stand up to endorse Simons.

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

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

He was allowed to open a foreign trade company independently, be his own boss, and became one of the largest distributors of Shatta Company.

Of course, this is also a means for Shatta Corporation to avoid political risks.

After all, after Shatta Company sold the arms to Simmons, it was none of Shatta Company's business to whom Simmons sold them to.

This kind of operation is really too common.

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

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

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

Therefore, he pays great attention to his own safety, and very few people know where his family lives.

And his arms business negotiations are all done in the company. Even if someone needs to contact him, they always send a telegram to his company or call his company's phone number.

But Ji Wanchang didn't know where he got his home phone number, which shocked Simmons.

Therefore, he was very afraid of Ji Wanchang.

At first, I was worried that if the other party purchased arms from me, it might be a trap set by the enemy.

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

Therefore, of course, when you see Ji Wanchang for the first time, you will be very surprised.

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

"Haha. You must be Boss Ji. Welcome to New York."

With that said, 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 was also an office that Simmons specially rented in the bustling downtown area of ​​New York for safety reasons.

After all, there are police everywhere in this kind of place. Even if someone wants to attack him, he must consider whether it will cause bad consequences.

For mysterious clients like Ji Wanchang, Simmons has to be careful.

The two of them were sitting in the reception area, with their younger brothers standing behind them. No matter how you looked at it, this was a typical underworld negotiation.

Fortunately, Ji Wanchang was originally the master of Hongmen Hall, so he was used to this kind of situation and had nothing to be uncomfortable with.

Now, after Fang Lang's guidance, he no longer thinks about obtaining support from the U.S. government by purchasing arms from the United States. He just regards this as a simple arms purchase business.

He doesn't mind if the other party behaves like a gangster, as long as the other party doesn't take advantage of others and can really provide him with the weapons he wants.

So, he went straight to the point and took out the list of weapons arranged for him by Fang Lang, put it on the table and pushed it in front of Simmons and said:

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

Simmons was initially shocked when he saw the other person put his hand into his arms, but he was relieved when he saw that what the other person pulled out was just a list.

After hearing the other party's question, he was not polite. He picked up the other party's list from the table and started reading it.

Just taking a look, his eyes lit up.

This is no small business!

Although he was very curious about the origin of the other party, the other party could easily find his home phone number, so he was obviously not a simple character.

Therefore, he did not dare to inquire about the other party's details, but his eyes lit up when the other party casually threw out such a large purchase list.

When he heard the other party asking if he could provide it, he became a little strange. After all, knowledgeable people knew that the person standing behind him was the Shata Company, not to mention the small arms in the list that Ji Wanchang brought out.

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

"Haha. Boss Ji, you are joking.

The equipment in your list is nothing to us. If necessary, I can take you to the warehouse to pick up the goods now."

Upon hearing this, Ji Wanchang couldn't help but feel relieved. It seemed that the supplier provided by Mr. Fang was really very capable.

Originally, seeing that the other party looked like a gang member like himself, he thought that the other party could only sell small weapons on a small scale. But now the other party's confident performance really made him feel relieved.

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

You must know that the British are not blind or deaf. It is not easy to land such a large amount of weapons and equipment in Malaya without attracting their attention.

So, he thought for a while and then said:

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

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

As long as you can afford the money, it's no problem to ask him to help you deliver it to the door of the White House.

Seeing Ji Wanchang's attitude, Simmons was completely relieved. The other party was probably not here to kill him. After all, the attitude shown by the other party was that he really wanted to find customers who wanted to purchase arms from him.

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

Now we just don’t know what the other party’s financial strength is.

Hearing Ji Wanchang's inquiry about the price, Simmons waved to a young man behind him, motioning for him to come over and carefully calculate the price of the goods.

He 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 the destination of your goods, so that I can tell you the overall price."

Ji Wanchang was a little hesitant when he saw the other party asking him about his specific destination. After all, once he told him his destination, the other party would definitely know what his purpose was.

But on his own, he was not sure that he could transport such a large batch of goods to his destination quietly without being discovered by the British.

Simmons could tell by the look on the other person's face what the other person was worried about.

Now he felt more at ease. Looking at the other party's appearance, he smiled and said:

"Boss Ji, please don't worry!

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

I don't want to offend a person with such a powerful energy, nor do I want to find out your details.

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

Therefore, you don’t have to worry about me leaking my clients’ information. Keeping my clients confidential is my basic rule of doing business at Simons.

And, even if you don’t tell me, I can still make a rough guess. After all, your skin color and appearance can explain a lot of things, right?"

What Simmons said can be considered very candid.

Upon hearing this, Ji Wanchang knew that what the other party said was very reasonable. After all, his Chinese appearance was so conspicuous that there was no point in trying to hide it.

Moreover, the other party was an arms seller introduced by Fang Lang, and he also had basic trust in the other party.

So, after pondering for a while, he slowly said:

"You're right, I judge a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart!

I believe you can also tell that I am 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 designated in Malaya."

Simmons' eyes lit up when he heard this. Malaya was the market he wanted to open up! Unexpectedly, before he could go there, people from there had already come to visit.

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

Besides, he sold countless arms to the hostile forces in Britain and France in Africa.

Are you still afraid of selling more in Southeast Asia?

In fact, this is also the reason why Fang Lang introduced Simmons to Ji Wanchang.

Because, as long as this guy makes money, he doesn't care who the buyer of the arms is or who he is preparing to go to war with.

"Haha. Mr. Ji is so refreshing.

Door-to-door delivery is one of our company's services. As long as you can afford the money, not to mention delivering it to Malaya, even delivering it to the door of Buckingham Palace in the UK is no problem.

I don’t know, do you have any requirements on the arrival time?”

Ji Wanchang secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the other party's words. It seemed that the other party's strength really should not be underestimated!

But this is fine. Since the other party can tell you about the delivery without any scruples, he must have the ability.

When he heard the other party asking if there was any requirement for the arrival time, Ji Wanchang was stunned again. What did he mean? Is it because the distance is too far and the delivery time is longer, or does it arrive at different times and the freight is different?

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

He looked up at the other party in surprise, but still said bravely:

"Of course the sooner the better!"

Simmons heard this, nodded with a smile and said:

"No problem. Malaya happens to be very close to the Philippines. The quantity of goods you want is not large. I can find a way to get the goods from the Philippines for you.

When the time comes, you give me a specific address and I’ll have it delivered directly to your door!”

At this time, the younger brother in charge of calculating the amount came to Simmons with a folder and handed the folder to Simmons. Simmons took it casually, opened it and his eyes lit up after taking a look.

This is really a big deal!

After thinking for a while, Simmons said directly:

"Boss Ji, this is our first time doing business. I don't make much money from you. Plus the shipping fee, the total is one hundred thousand dollars. What do you think?"

Ji Wanchang was shocked when he heard this. The price was really beyond his expectation. He originally planned to purchase equipment for two thousand people, but after communicating with Fang Lang, the equipment in this list was enough to arm three thousand people.

But he only brought 100 kilograms of gold. In Brazil, Xinshui took him to the bank to exchange it for US dollars, and exchanged it for a full 123,500 US dollars.

Originally, he was worried that the amount of equipment had increased, and now that shipping costs were added, it would cost around US$150,000.

Unexpectedly, the other party did some calculations and it only cost 100,000 U.S. dollars including shipping. There was still some left over from the 120,000 U.S. dollars brought over.

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

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

What's even more amazing is that the other party casually said that they wanted to send goods from the Philippines.

Where in the Philippines would there be so many arms?

Anyone with some brains can quickly figure out where the other party is planning to allocate arms for them.
