Chapter 536 The secretive Mr. Brom

Hearing this, Mr. Wan George Sethi, the London Police Chief, also nodded to Fang Lang and said:

"General Fang, thank you for your generosity. I hope what happened yesterday will not give you a negative impression of London. In the future, we must strengthen citizen education to avoid this situation from happening again in the future.

Since you are a friend of Reinhardt, we can also be considered friends. If you encounter any problems that cannot be solved in London, you can come to me directly and I will help you if I can."

In fact, Fang Lang knew very well in his heart that these were just superficial remarks. White supremacy is still very prevalent in this period, and there are definitely a lot of people in this room who look down on him.

But what's the point? Humans are social animals, and they cannot hide and form a unified group just because they are afraid of being discriminated against. Dignity must be fought for by one's own strength, and wait until his group has established a foothold in Europe through European aid.

The people sitting here will all rely on his breath. When the time comes, let alone discrimination, they will probably look up to him.

But this is something that will happen later. Now he is obviously not suitable to be too high-profile here, and he does not want to get too entangled in this racial issue.

Fit Henderson obviously also understood that the issue of racial discrimination was not suitable for too much discussion, so after hearing what Mr. Wan George Sethi said, he directly spoke for Fang Lang without hesitation:

"You don't have many opportunities to help, right?"

He raised the cigar in his hand and said:

"The cigars we tasted today were all provided by Fang Lang's tobacco company. Everyone has tried the quality of these cigars. If you like them, you can support them more in the future.

It just so happens that Fang Lang's family is planning to open their first cigar shop in London, and then the safety of this cigar shop will be left to you."

Now Director Wan George Sisi also became interested and looked at Fang Lang in surprise:

"It turns out that Good Luck Tobacco is the industry of General Fang's family. This brand rose very quickly during World War II! As far as I know, although this kind of cigarette is not a cigarette distributed by the Allied Forces, it is widely used within the Allied Forces.

To spread.

The market share even exceeded that of the cigarette brands distributed by the Allies. Now in Italy, Germany, and France, this kind of cigarettes occupies a very huge market.

I have to say that the taste of Good Luck cigarettes is really special. I have smoked two packs of them that others brought to me, and I like them very much. I never expected that cigars are now available.

Since this company is successful, I will give my full support in the future, and when your cigar shop opens, I will definitely order some cigars of each flavor and store them at home."

Director Wan George Sethi's words also aroused the expressions of others sitting there. After all, any man who smokes has actually heard the name of Good Luck Cigarettes more or less.

Even many people sitting here have smoked this brand of cigarettes, and you can even buy smuggled cigarettes with good luck in the UK.

After all, the way Fang Lang originally sold cigarettes was not a legal way, and now this way has not been cut off. With such a large market in the UK, it is certainly impossible for the Gambino family to turn a blind eye.

Therefore, although the formal sales channels of Good Luck cigarettes have not yet been introduced in the UK, it does not mean that Good Luck cigarettes are not available in the UK.

Good Luck Cigarettes has the advanced cigarette manufacturing concept that Fang Lang brought over. The cigarettes produced have a special taste that no other brand has. It is impossible not to be popular.

At present, Fang Lang is only opening cigar stores in the UK. When the time comes, he will naturally roll out Good Luck Cigarettes in the UK.

After everyone knew that Good Luck Cigarettes were the property of Fang Lang's family, everyone looked at Fang Lang differently. After all, anyone who is not a primitive person knows the profits of tobacco very well.

If Fang Lang was just a Brazilian rear admiral, everyone might not take it too seriously. After all, Brazil does not have much influence in the minds of the British.

But the boss of a tobacco company with a huge market share in the entire European tobacco market made everyone look at him with admiration. This is the difference between Europe and Brazil.

It is also the difference between an American general and a European capitalist.

"It is a great honor that our Good Luck Tobacco products can win your favor. Originally, I was not prepared to enter the British market so soon, but this time I gave Uncle Henderson a gift, and Uncle Henderson liked it very much.

We also invited everyone to come and taste it, and now we see that everyone likes our company's products very much. This is really our honor.

Since everyone likes it, I will ask someone to give some to everyone, and everyone will help me evaluate it to see which product suits everyone best, and it will also make it easier for our company to make this product the main product in the future."

Since the other party took the initiative to mention that he wanted to buy it himself, Fang Lang, the boss, of course had to say something. You must know that these people here are all big shots, and it does not cost much to send some products to them for tasting.

But if these big shots smoke this kind of cigar, it may become a trend in the British upper class, and their company's good-luck cigars will quickly become famous in the British upper class.

Once it becomes popular in the British upper class, the British market will naturally be quietly opened, and then there will be no need to worry about the sales of cigars.

The tasting samples he sends out now will bring him countless times in return.

Director Wan George Sethi smiled slightly when he heard this. He was very satisfied with Fang Lang's knowledge. It was not that he had no money to buy cigars, but he felt respected.

"Then I won't be polite! Don't worry!

Your cigars are really great, I like them very much, and I will definitely help you promote them among my friends."

Fit Henderson was very satisfied when he heard Fang Lang's words, smiled and said loudly:

"Everyone has heard this. Leave a business card to Fang when you leave. Fang will arrange for someone to give each of you some good luck cigars for free tasting. Everyone must help promote it!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and many people raised their wine glasses and gestured to Fang Lang:

"Thank you General Fang for your generosity, let us toast General Fang."

This proposal was recognized by everyone, and they all raised their glasses to greet Fang Lang. Fang Lang also stood up with a smile on his face and raised his glass to greet everyone.

The atmosphere was very lively for a while.

More smart people directly handed their business cards in front of Fang Lang with wine glasses, and chatted cordially with Fang Lang, making everyone familiar.

At this time, Fang Lang's tobacco promotion plan had achieved certain results, and this tasting meeting was not in vain.

As time passed, the banquet at the Henderson family slowly came to an end. Many people began to leave the Henderson manor one after another, but Mr. Suleiman Brom, a colonial nobleman who returned from India,

But he had no intention of leaving at all.

Instead, after communicating with Fit Henderson alone for a while, Fit Henderson invited Fang Lang and Suleiman Brom to a quiet office together.

When Fang Lang saw this guy in a separate office again, he felt a headache, but this time it was Fit Henderson's sake. He couldn't turn around and leave, so he could only sit next to the two of them with some resentment.

Before the two of them could speak, Fang Lang took the lead and said:

"Uncle Henderson, it's not that I don't want to help Mr. Brom. It's just that his business is obviously not as simple as he said. He is also secretive to me and not honest at all. It's impossible to do business this way."

Fit Henderson had obviously expected this. He smiled and patted Fang Lang on the arm, telling him to calm down.

"Fang, don't worry yet. Suleiman Brom has just told me about the situation you discussed, and he also told me about his difficulties. At the same time, he also showed his greatest sincerity.

Now that there are only three of us here, we can open our hearts openly and honestly, explain the issues clearly, and see if you can take this business."

After speaking, he looked at Suleiman Brom and motioned for him to speak.

Suleiman Brom also laughed dryly and said to Fang Lang:

"General Fang must feel that the benefits I have given you are too great, and he suspects there is something fishy in this business!

To be honest, this business is indeed a bit tricky. I am giving you a benefit by selling a large amount of grain and cotton at a low price. However, please rest assured that I have absolutely no ill intentions towards you and your company.

I can swear that to you in front of Mr. Henderson."

"So, your real goods are not grain and cotton at all, right?"

Now that the other party started to tell the truth with reservations, Fang Lang no longer hesitated and directly told his guess.

After hearing Fang Lang's words, Suleiman Brom and Fit Henderson looked at each other. Seeing Mr. Henderson nodding seriously to him, they nodded and said with a bitter smile:

"Yes, what we actually want to transport out is the wealth accumulated by our family over more than 100 years."

Seeing that the other party finally told the truth, Fang Lang shook his head helplessly. The other party's concerns were actually very correct. If it were him, he would definitely have the same attitude.

After all, the wealth accumulated by the family for more than a hundred years must consist of valuables such as gold.

Only with this kind of thing will the new Indian government be interested in him and try to prevent him from leaving India.

But the other party actually thought of asking his company to help transport this kind of thing. It was considered bold. Aren't you afraid that he would rob the other party directly? But after looking at Fit Henderson on the side, Fang Lang understood what was going on.

Something happened.

This was obviously the idea that Fit Henderson had after learning about his own God's Whip military contracting company.

But although the military contracting company can provide strong force guarantee for the escort, but he is so confident about the soldiers of his company, isn't he afraid that when the time comes, these soldiers will directly rob them?

If you expect that all supplies can be brought out by mixing them with cotton and grain, you are almost treating everyone as a fool.

More importantly, the price of escorting gold and escorting cotton and grain cannot be the same. If the other party wants to directly sell large quantities of grain and cotton to themselves at low prices to make up for their losses, that is obviously overthinking.

"How dare you ask me to help you transport something like this? Aren't you afraid that my people will snatch it from you?"

Fang Lang directly broke through the opponent's scruples without any scruples.

Suleiman Brom obviously didn't expect Fang Lang to say such words so directly. He looked at Fit Henderson with some anxiety, as if he wanted to ask him for help.

Fit Henderson shook his head helplessly when he saw this, and said to Suleiman Brom:

"If Fang really wanted to steal your wealth, he would never say this at all.

You should not hide anything from the other party from the beginning. Since you want to transport gold, you should let them quote the shipping fee based on the price of gold.

Instead of telling others that what you want to transport is cotton and grain.

All these actions of yours are telling the other party that you don’t trust the other party from the beginning, so how can others be willing to cooperate with you.”

Suleiman Brom, who had a rich face, looked a little unhappy when he heard this. Of course he understood that to transport gold, he had to quote the price of transporting gold, but he was reluctant to pay such a large expense from the beginning.

Therefore, with a sense of luck, he thought of using food and cotton to impress Fang Lang. After all, both of these things can be regarded as hard currency.

Now that the matter was exposed by Fang Lang, he had no choice but to confess, but deep down in his heart he was still unwilling to pay the shipping price at the price of gold.

Because the amount of gold is too large, and if according to international practice, he may have to pay 35% of the amount of gold as shipping cost. This is simply cutting his flesh.

He had already suffered heavy losses when he was forced to evacuate from India, and he was not willing to spend 35% of his family's wealth to transport all of it out.

This time when he returned home, he originally wanted to get help from the military, but now the British military is worried about the political impact and is unwilling to excessively stimulate the soon-to-be-formed Indian government.

He didn't want too many people to know about this matter, so he didn't dare to find anyone else to cooperate. This time he met Fang Lang through Henderson, and he thought he could take advantage of it.

But he didn't expect that the other party was a smart man and easily saw through his loopholes, which made him feel a little bit stuck.

After being scolded by Fit Henderson, he could only smile awkwardly at Fang Lang and said:

"Fang, I'm really sorry! I used myself to save others. Please don't blame me."

Hearing this, Fang Lang smiled, looked at this very rich fat man with interest, waved his hand and said:

"It's okay, I understand. But I'm a little curious, why don't you find a British bank in India, deposit the money in it, and come back to withdraw it directly?"

When Suleiman Brom heard this, he waved his hands quickly and said:

"No, the news about this wealth must not be known to Indians. If it is deposited in a British bank in India, the Indian government will definitely receive the news. It will be difficult to say whether this wealth will still belong to our family.

"

This answer was obviously beyond Fang Lang's expectation. Why did he feel that the source of this wealth seemed a little unfair? Although the British had been under colonial rule in India for so many years, almost all the sources of wealth were not very legitimate.

But according to the situation shown by Suleiman Brom, it seems that these wealth were not obtained through colonial rule, but even if they were obtained by robbery or unfair means, there should be no need to worry about the Indian government being able to do anything to them.

What about these colonists!

Unless this wealth does not belong to him at all, or he stole it from the hands of local people in India, he has such great strength in India and has such great wealth that can be stolen.
