The journey of borrowing money was full of surprises and bitterness, but for Fang Xu, it was not a particularly boring journey, because he once again made contact with many friends he hadn't seen for a long time.

Fang Xu has no friends in China, but he has a lot of friends abroad.

This time, I came with Wang Keke to meet the person in charge of the Ethan family, and I also talked about the old days with many old friends during the trip, and also borrowed money.

There are two brothers in charge of the Ethan family, one of whom is Wang Keke's father, Walsh. Ethan, this family belongs to the British Lao Mei, the ancestors made a fortune from arms, and the family business also has its own mercenaries and some not very clean industries, but these do not affect their status in the old American state.

Walsh has a little British blood, and naturally has a little gentleman's blood, when he came, Fang Xu listened to Wang Keke's introduction, and on the other hand, he also asked Alan to check this person and see what he liked, after all, the first visit, the gift is not expensive, you always have to understand some of this person's preferences, in order to prescribe the right medicine, right?

Speaking of this person, it is also a little interesting, although he is the head of a family, and this family is more prestigious, but Walsh is very low-key, so low-key that many people think that the Ethan family has only one person in charge, that is Walsh's younger brother.

Low-key to a Cheng dù, in his thinking, it is best to only read the newspaper three times in his life, the first time is when he was born. The second time was when they got married. The third time is when you die.

As for how to understand it, it depends on the individual.

However, Walsh was very happy about Fang Xu's arrival, not only because Fang Xu had courtesies and gifts, but also because Fang Xu had saved Wang Keke's life before, and Fang Xu was Chinese, Walsh's former wife was Chinese, although he later divorced, but it was because of Walsh, he was sorry for his ex-wife, but in his concept, Chinese people are good, kind, hard-working, and smart.

Coupled with the development of China in recent years, Walsh has always paid attention to it, mainly he pays attention to his ex-wife, and his daughter is also in China, he also knows a lot of things, he actually likes that place very much, so when Fang Xu arrived, Walsh received him very ceremoniously.

Of course, in addition to these superficial reasons, in fact, after Walsh received Wang Keke's news a few days ago, he checked Fang Xu's background, and Fang Xu's identity also surprised him, and at the same time, he had to receive it ceremoniously.

"From your spoken language, I thought you were a local resident."

As soon as they met and introduced each other, Ethan was surprised by Fang Xu's accent, if it wasn't for meeting, just on the phone, Walsh couldn't even tell which country the other party was from, his spoken language was very authentic.

"I've lived here for three years." Fang Xu responded with a smile.

"Three years? That's pretty remarkable. "To be able to speak the language of a country so authentically in three years is definitely a linguistic genius.

Walsh received her very warmly, Wang Keke has been silent, just accompanied, she knows the Chinese nation very well, she has the right to see her parents, although she knows that Fang Xu does not have this idea, but as she herself said, Fang Xu can refuse, but she also has the right to choose and love, no one can stop it, to put it bluntly, it is four words, entertain yourself.

After lunch, the two avoided Wang Keke and talked about serious things in the study.

"I heard my daughter mention it before, saying that you want to do something and are short of money?" Walsh. Ethan looked at Fang Xu intently, "It's just that I'm very strange, forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, why did you choose to find me?" Instead of looking for your other friends, like some families in your country, and the Braun family? ”

The Braun family, strictly speaking, is not much smaller than the Ethan family, and even has more influence than Ethan in some regions, and the relationship with Fang Xu is the best on the surface, because Fang Xu once served as the head of the family doctor team in the Braun family for a period of time, and he was also the youngest person in charge of the Braun family's medical team in history, when Fang Xu was only twenty-two years old.

"Looks like you've looked into me."

"I'm sorry." Walsh shook his head, a little apologetic, although among the wealthy, investigators are a common phenomenon, but this kind of thing is a little unsightly, especially when facing the parties.

Fang Xu shook his head slowly, he didn't feel anything, because sometimes he also investigates people first, and many times only by knowing a person's background can he get along and cooperate with him better.

"Actually, you don't need to say sorry to me, because if it were me, I would have gotten to know each other first, and as for why I didn't go to Braun, of course, there were some personal reasons for me, I came over this time, and I didn't even say hello to my old friends of the Braun family. What is the specific reason, please forgive me for not telling you. ”

Fang Xu didn't say anything, and Walsh didn't want to ask, so after nodding, he asked, "How are you going to cooperate?" ”

"Two options." Fang Xu picked up his briefcase, he has been carrying it with him for a while now, and there are a lot of printed materials in it.

He found two copies of the proposal and handed them to Walsh. Ethan also said: "Although I do not deny that your country has accounted for 30% of the global market share in arms exports in recent years, it seems like a lot. But in the past few years, you have occupied more than 50 percent, that is to say, in recent years, more and more countries have become arms exporters, and at the same time, they are constantly eroding the market that originally belonged to you, and to tell the truth, the competitiveness of your country's weapons is not as strong as before, the core technology is being chased by others, and the newly developed things have no characteristics that people must buy, and now 30% of the market share is still supported by some old faces. It is also partly due to the fact that the contracts for long-term orders have not expired, and it is conceivable that in the next five to ten years, your arms export market share will gradually decrease, and eventually you may lose this market. ”

Fang Xu's words are not clear to many people, but Walsh. Ethan knew that what Fang Xu said was right, after World War II, Lao Mei was the world's largest arms supplier, and Lao Mei also made a lot of money in terms of arms trading.

But that's all the old calendar, now the arms exporting countries are more and more, the market is so big, the share will naturally be smaller and smaller, now the order to buy weapons is more and more difficult to sign, many companies in order to compete, but also have to first the characteristics of weapons and some internal core that did not need to be made public before, this is not the most depressing, the most depressing thing is that now the sellers are bargaining more and more, some small countries based on agriculture are looking for you to buy some weapons and ammunition, and you also need to buy agricultural products in their countries, If you don't place an order for agricultural products, they don't place an order for weapons.

Now there are so many countries that sell weapons, you don't sell me, and a lot of people are shouting and rushing to trade with me. Anyway, you can't sell the most core things to me, those that are not core, other countries also have them, and they are cheap, and the main thing is that I buy other people's weapons, and people buy my agricultural products, a win-win situation.

It's not easy for the United States to export weapons.
