"Okay, since you think our gang is of great use, Lang'er, I won't disband it yet." As he said this, he didn't forget to look at his old man, which meant that he wanted to see if you still wanted to say that I was fooling around. , okay now! Your grandson says my gang is very important.
"Uncle, I don't know, what's the name of your gang, and do you have any gang rules?" Fang Lang was also curious about his uncle's gang.
"Our gang is called the Xinshui Gang! There are more than 20 people. I have the final say on any gang rules and everything." Fang Xinshui's answer left Fang Lang speechless.
"Since my uncle is a gangster, I wonder if he has ever heard of Hongmen."
"I've never heard of it! What is Hongmen?"
"The origin of Hongmen is an anti-Qing and restoration organization in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. After so many years of development, it is now a huge organization with tens of thousands of members around the world, and it played an important role in the establishment of the Republic of China in the late Qing and early Ming dynasties. role."
"so smart."
"Of course, Hongmen gangs have strict rules and there are many gangs, and the gang I want is a gang organization similar to Hongmen. It must have rules and goals. Once you join a gang, you cannot leave. If you make a mistake, you must Only by being punished can such gangs have fighting power. And our organization can also hide behind the gangs and become a real secret organization."
"I understand what you mean. Then tell me specifically what to do. I will make it clear to my brothers when I get back. If you continue to work with us, we will stay. If you don't want to, let us go. He leaves." Fang Xinshui was very straightforward.
In this way, Fang Lang introduced the history of Hongmen and the initiation ceremony of Hongmen to Fang Xinshui. He also told him the ten prohibitions of Hongmen, the punishment methods of Hongmen, etc. Everything Fang Lang had heard about was explained one by one. Fang Xinshui made it clear and told him many traitors and influential events in Hongmen's history, hoping that he could learn from them. After all, gangsters are a very important part of Fang Lang's plan. Fang Lang even introduced him to some situations and rules of the Italian Mafia after talking about Hongmen.
Fang Xinshui was mesmerized after listening to it, benefited a lot, and felt very motivated. The old man, father, brother and others beside him were dumbfounded. They never expected that a gangster could have so many skills and opinions. They were even more amazed when they heard that the Italian Mafia had its own specially trained lawyers.
In this way, the conversation did not end until mother informed everyone to have dinner. Originally, Mr. Fang was going to invite a few elderly people to come over and chat while eating, but there were so many people that came. Fang Lang's mother alone could not pack food for so many people, so Fang Lang later asked everyone After everyone dispersed, he didn't stay for everyone to eat.
But while eating, another guest came to the house, it was Fang Lang's uncle Yang Zong. Because Yang Zong lived in downtown Sao Paulo, he didn't have to rush over at that time. Fang Lang was also very happy when he saw Yang Zong coming, because Yang Zong was an important part of his plan to come back this time.
A few people chatted about daily life while eating. After the meal, everyone was sitting in the living room chatting. Fang Lang said directly: "Uncle, I wonder how the business of the cigarette factory at home is going now!"
"Alas! Everyone knows that the business of this cigarette factory has always been stagnant. The sales volume is not high and the sales cannot be sold. It is a headache!" As soon as he mentioned the cigarette factory, my uncle started to sigh.
"Uncle, how much is the daily output of your current cigarette factory? Is there a lot of inventory?"
"How dare we let go of production! We can't even digest the inventory and we don't dare to produce too much! The more we produce, the more serious the losses will be. There is still a full warehouse! The inventory alone will be All my liquidity is tied up.”
"I don't smoke, so I would like to ask, is there any difference in taste between our cigarettes and American cigarettes? Why are American cigarettes more expensive than ours in terms of sales?"
"If you want to talk about the difference, there is still a little difference. Generally speaking, the taste is not as mellow as their cigarettes. But the difference is not particularly big."
After hearing his uncle's words, Fang Lang knew in his mind that with the current cigarette making process, many of the following technologies should not have been applied yet.
"Uncle, do you add ingredients and flavors to your tobacco during the manufacturing process?"
"What do you mean by adding seasonings and flavors? There really isn't any of this!" After hearing what his nephew said, Yang Zong was full of questions. What seasonings and flavors should be added to cigarettes?
As soon as Fang Lang heard his uncle's answer, he knew why Yankee's cigarettes smelled better than those made by his uncle. Apparently American cigarettes are beginning to learn to add ingredients! Fang Lang still remembered the manufacturing process of modern cigarettes he saw while watching videos on the boat, and he couldn't help but feel happy. It seemed that there was an opportunity to make the cigarette factory bigger and stronger.
"Let's do this! Uncle, I will go to your factory tomorrow morning to see your inventory and production process. Then I will invest in you to expand the scale of the cigarette factory and make our cigarette factory bigger and stronger."
"I'm talking about prodigal! Don't mess around! The current cigarette factory is useless. I can't harm you. Don't mess around! When the time comes, the money you earn will be wasted. Your mother must not kill her. Got me."
"Haha... Don't worry, uncle, you have handed over all your inventory to me. I will directly arrange a ship to transport it to you. I have a way to sell it. I also have a way to make our cigarettes unique. When the time comes, Our cigarettes will definitely be sold all over the world. Then uncle, don’t regret letting me invest and hold shares.” Fang Lang laughed loudly when he heard Yang Zong’s words.
Yang Zong was overjoyed when he heard that Fang Lang could transport all his inventory. He stood up in excitement and overturned the stools behind him.
"Lang'er, are you serious? If you can take away all my inventory, I will give the factory to you directly. What else do you need to invest?"
Everyone in the family looked at Fang Lang in surprise, never expecting that Fang Lang would say that he would eat up all of his uncle's inventory and invest in expanding his cigarette factory.
"Uncle, I can't take advantage of you. When the time comes, you can ask your company's financial officer to calculate your company's assets and see how much they are worth. I'll see how much money I can invest."
"What's the point? I've been looking for a buyer. Some time ago, a buyer offered me US$10,000 and didn't want my inventory. What I want is the entire package price of US$50,000. If Lang'er you really If you can digest all my inventory, I will give the factory to you, no joke." Yang Zong looked serious.
"Does the factory only have 40,000 US dollars in inventory? The quantity may not be enough! I don't know if there are other cigarette factories nearby. I now have four 5,000-ton cargo ships. Such a small amount of inventory is not enough for me to transport. !”
Fang Lang's words immediately shocked the whole family. Father Fang Xinshan was the first to speak: "Lang'er, do you mean that you have signed transportation contracts with four ships?"
Fang Lang understood the meaning of his father's words and did not hide it. He said directly: "I established a Global Trading Co., Ltd. in the United States. The company purchased three ships in Italy, plus a transport ship under my own command. Now They are all in Rio. I plan to wait two days and ask the company's transport ship to arrive at Saunders Port, load all the cigarettes, and transport them to Italy. At the current wholesale price of Brazilian cigarettes, if I buy such a large quantity, I should It’s about ten cents a pack, so my profit will be fifty times. This time I’m going to purchase goods worth 400,000 U.S. dollars, and I’ve already prepared all the funds. I can’t do it without the goods.”
"Son, where did you get so much money?" Fang Lang's mother said anxiously from the side.
"Of course your son earned it! If we don't have so much money, how can we launch our plan? I'm already ready. At the end of the war! At least the company's fleet will be expanded to more than fifty ships, each ship If the ship transports 500 people, my fleet can transport 25,000 people at a time. At the current speed of the fleet, it can only make one round trip every two months. We can increase the number of Chinese in Brazil in one year. Overtaking the Japanese, we can allow our Chinese population to occupy a place in a continent in three or four years. Then we will use this continent as a base and begin to radiate to the entire Brazil. By then, we Chinese will slowly have enough influence."
What Fang Lang said made the family members unbelievable. They didn't expect that Fang Lang would earn so much money so quickly.
