Paul glanced at Leo with a cold look, and Leo felt his whole body tremble.
Thinking of the cruelty of his commander, his face straightened and he did not dare to say any nonsense.
After thinking for a while he said:
"I remember there was a secluded hunting lodge in the forest on the outskirts, but that was a memory from when I was in junior high school. I don't know if it's still there now."
"Let's go check it out tonight. If it's suitable, we'll go somewhere. We can't stay in this place."
Paul decided to abandon the location without hesitation.
He had to bet on whether Fang Lang and the others would report their situation to the French occupying forces.
It's not because he is timid, but because he has more important things to do.
In his heart, he really wanted to investigate the identities of Fang Lang and others.
Look for opportunities to take revenge on them.
However, the premise is to ensure that you complete the most important things first.
When Leo heard Paul's order, he didn't dare to say anything and nodded quickly to accept the order.
That night, the two left Leo's hometown under the moonlight and walked into the forest.
What they didn't notice was that there were two figures flickering in and out of sight behind the two of them.
Fang Lang had just returned to the hotel when he received a report from his adjutant Qi Qingshan.
We have already made a reservation at the hotel restaurant and made an appointment with the mayor of Stuttgart.
Mr. Jonas, the mayor of Stuttgart, is a handsome old man with white hair. He doesn't talk much and manages things very neatly.
It is understood that he is a politician born in an old-fashioned Junker noble family.
Because he did not agree with the Communist Party's political philosophy, he was detained in a concentration camp as a political prisoner for more than three years.
After the Germans were defeated and rescued by the Allied forces, he was elected mayor of Stuart.
Maybe he was used to seeing too much life and death and suffered too much torture in the concentration camp, so his body looked very thin.
Fang Lang looked at the mayor sitting opposite, and for a moment he didn't know how to speak.
In the past, Fang Lang had habitually used money to break down his enemies' defenses and make them friends.
However, looking at the meticulous old man sitting opposite him who was taking care of himself, Fang Lang felt that his money offensive might not have much effect.
This was Fang Lang's intuition.
Just when Fang Lang was still hesitating on how to persuade the old man opposite him to help him.
Mr. Jonas, who seemed to have few words, spoke first.
"Mr. Fang, may I know how you will arrange for my compatriots?"
When he asked this question, Mr. Jonas's eyes flashed with caution.
It made Fang Lang feel like a bad guy who wanted to kidnap and sell the other person's child.
Fang Lang shook his head and said calmly:
"Mr. Mayor Jonas, don't get me wrong. Although I am a Brazilian soldier, I am here as a businessman.
I don't know if you know Brazil, but we are an agricultural country with a very weak industrial base.
It is my impression that our relations with Germany had been very close before the war began.
There are also many Germans living in Brazil.
I came here this time because I saw the shortcomings of our Brazil and wanted to make up for them.
Maybe it seems to you that we are taking advantage of others.
But please believe that I am not a robber who comes to plunder wealth, but a businessman who comes to seek cooperation. "
Mr. Jonas in front of him had been listening quietly to Fang Lang's words, with no change in the expression on his face.
In the process of speaking such a long paragraph, Fang Lang stopped several times to listen to Mr. Jonas's feedback on himself.
It's a pity that the other party never said anything.
Fang Lang couldn't tell what was going on in the other person's mind.
After a long while, Mr. Jonas finally said:
"I've been to Brazil and the people there are very welcoming. I like it.
Where's the barbecue. "
Hearing this, Fang Lang breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Mr. Jonas is not really a boring gourd.
Maybe it was just the aftereffects of being incarcerated in a concentration camp.
"Haha. You are right. If you like it, I can invite you to go to Brazil this time and try our barbecue again."
In order to reassure the old man, Fang Lang didn't mind letting the old man go with him to see everyone's working environment.
However, it is estimated that the other party will not pass.
But this is an attitude that reassures the other person.
In fact, Fang Lang could completely ignore what the old man thought and use the identity of Colonel Chatham of the French occupation force to retrieve the personnel files of various companies.
Just drag the people you need from the list and pack them away.
I believe that the Germans would not dare to resist.
But considering that sometimes the melons that are forced are not sweet.
Moreover, in fact, although some people in some factories hold this important position, it does not mean that they really do the work.
Of course, Fang Lang can also directly recruit the employees he needs for various positions in Stuttgart through recruitment, and then re-establish a company after returning to Brazil.
This method is the simplest and most direct.
However, this method cannot quickly achieve the effect Fang Lang wants.
The most ideal situation in Fang Lang's mind is for these factories in Germany to take the initiative to bring their own full set of technologies in the form of a joint venture.
Go to Brazil to open a new factory.
Of course, this idea only came to me after meeting the old Mr. Jonas in front of me.
At first, Fang Lang's intention was very simple. He wanted to recruit some employees from the automobile industry to work at his Aston Martin factory in Brazil.
But after walking around in Stuttgart, especially when he saw the factories of Mercedes-Benz and Porsche.
After meeting a factory called Bosch, which was not very eye-catching, Fang Lang began to have new ideas in his mind.
"There's no need to go to Brazil together. I'm too old to travel far.
And my fellow citizens need me too.
I remember what Colonel Chatham meant was for me to cooperate with you in recruiting qualified technical workers? Why are you telling me now that you want to seek cooperation? "
Hearing Jonas take the initiative to ask about cooperation, Fang Lang felt happy and said calmly:
"Mr. Jonas, due to the war, all factories in Stuttgart are basically shut down now.
Moreover, no one knows how long this state will last, right?
The reason I asked you to come over is that I have a new idea that I would like to communicate with you and see if it is feasible. "
"New ideas? Mr. Fang, please tell me."
Jonas knew that what Fang Lang said was true, and as a German, this was what he was most anxious about right now.
The young man in front of him actually said that he had an idea to reverse the situation, which made him vaguely look forward to it.
"If I remember correctly, after World War I, Germany moved many companies to other surrounding countries because of restrictions.
Moreover, a lot of technical research has been completed in these countries.
That’s why Germany now has such strong industrial strength, right? "
Without Fang Lang finishing his words, Mr. Jonas already understood what Fang Lang meant. Isn't this just trying to replicate the experience after World War I?
They had already had this idea, but unfortunately the Allies had already been fooled once. How could they allow this to happen again?
Jonas shook his head and said:
"Thank you for your candor, Mr. Fang, let me tell you the truth! We have already tried your idea once, but unfortunately it didn't work.
The current Allied Powers have very strict restrictions on us, and many of our companies have
Already on their monitoring list.
There's no way we're allowed to do it again.
Moreover, I am tired of war, and I don’t want my country to fall into war again.
So, I'm sorry, Mr. Fang. "
I didn’t expect Jonas to be an anti-war faction, and I didn’t know if it was true or not.
Fang Lang looked Jonas up and down carefully, and judging from his expression, Fang Lang believed what he said.
But he still smiled and said:
"Mr. Mayor Jonas, I think you misunderstood.
What I want to save is not your country's military industry. Although I am a soldier, I also hate war.
I have told you before that what I want is to establish a complete industrial system for Brazil.
In the UK, I acquired a bankrupt car manufacturing factory. After being exposed to car manufacturing, I realized that if you want to manufacture cars, you can't just build a car manufacturing factory.
Only a complete industrial system can provide complete supporting parts for my automobile manufacturing plant.
I can choose to directly introduce a complete industrial system from the UK, but the investment required is too huge.
This is the reason why I came to Germany. I think we need each other now, don’t we? "
At this time, Jonas had already somewhat grasped Fang Lang's ideas.
However, this is the same as their idea, but unfortunately the Allies will not allow it.
"Mr. Fang, I understand what you mean. Personally, I very much agree with your idea.
And we are very willing to work hard to realize your ideas.
However, you have to understand that the biggest problem now is not with us, but with the Allied governments.
This behavior from us will not be allowed. "
I didn't expect that Jonas, an old man, would have such a rigid mind and no idea of flexibility.
Fang Lang could only speak more clearly.
"Why do we need the consent of the Allied governments? Now I am coming to Stuttgart to recruit skilled workers for my factory!
This is normal business behavior, and Brazil is also a member of the Allied Powers!
I have obtained authorization from Colonel Chatham of the French occupation force to recruit my staff in Germany.
As for where these employees came from, or how I want to use these employees after returning to Brazil, isn’t it just my decision? "
The old man blinked, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
Slowly a smile began to appear on his face.
"Fang, I understand what you mean.
Can you tell me what you want to get? "
"Of course it's technology! I hope that your companies that want to be reborn in Brazil can share all their technologies with me.
And you have to build a complete industrial system for me in Brazil.
The minimum requirement is that all auto parts be localized in Brazil. "
Fang Lang's words made old man Jonas look a little ugly.
Isn't this the lion's big mouth?
If so, why should I give you an advantage?
If we cooperate like this, many countries will be willing to jump out and cooperate with us.
"Fang, is your request too much?
The contributions of both parties are simply not proportional. There is no way I can convince entrepreneurs about such a cooperation. "
Seeing Jonas' dissatisfied expression, Fang Lang smiled and said:
"Mr. Jonas, you need to understand the current situation in Germany.
Do you think that if I don’t cooperate with you, I won’t be able to obtain these technologies? "
