16. Sell it to the Germans in a different package, and the navy is coming
Russell burst out laughing.
"Hahaha, yes, but the liquidated damages were brought to you."
With a wave of his hand, Oriatu placed the cash box on the table and opened it, revealing 200,000 lira and 150,000 worth of gold.
"Is there so much liquidated damages?"
Schneider was a little dazzled when he saw so much money.
Who doesn't love money?
During the war years, there was a proverb that when a cannon sounded, it was ten thousand taels of gold.
This means that whenever there is a war, the officers and soldiers will take advantage of the turmoil to loot property wantonly.
Russell took a wad of bills from the cash box and threw it on the table.
"These are liquidated damages."
Schneider looked up at him, "Are you entertaining me?" ”
"Don't get me wrong, these are all yours, but the rest is the dividends this time, what are you fighting for? It's not that I want my family to be fed and clothed, and the money can be fully satisfied. ”
Schneider took a deep breath and said, "So many are once?" ”
"Yes."
"What percentage?"
"Fifty percent!"
"No, it's not good, I want sixty percent!"
Russell grimaced, "Mr. Schneider, don't be too greedy. We came across the ocean to Tunisia, we went through a lot of hardships, and there are warships on the sea, and you have to leave a copy for them. ”
Schneider gritted his teeth and thought about it, and finally nodded: "Okay!" As long as it's your goods, I promise that there will be no accidents in the city after we go ashore. ”
"Deal!"
Schneider was very happy and the breakfast was very comfortable.
"Mr. Schneider, I wonder if there is a shortage of alcohol in the barracks? I promise that it is not of inferior quality, and the food is all hardcover, only in this way is worthy of the status of the German army. ”
Schneider asked, "You're really a businessman, and you don't leave business everywhere, so what price?" ”
"You know, boutique food is very expensive, a piece of inferior ham has been fried on the black market in Sicily for a hundred and fifty, in Tunisia for seven hundred, the price of fine ham..."
Schneider shook his head: "Ham that has not rotted and spoiled is too expensive." ”
"No, I want to say that the price I gave to the German army was a friendly price, and you can buy a piece of fine ham for only seven hundred!"
"Seven hundred?"
"Yes."
Schneider thought for a moment and said, "When will it be delivered?" ”
"You know this fine ham is very difficult to buy, about a week later."
"Very good, as much as you want. As long as you make sure that the food is not rotten and spoiled, I am willing to pay 700 yuan for it. ”
Schneider pondered it, purchased from Russell at a unit price of 700, and reported it according to the market price of 750.
With so many soldiers in the barracks, even if he eats ham two days a week, Schneider can make a lot of money.
Russell stood up and smiled and shook his hand.
"Deal, Oriyatu will come to you next time."
"No problem, this is my pass, with this you can go to the barracks to find me."
Schneider thought that Russell wanted to have a good relationship with the German army by providing high-quality food to the German army, so he had no defense.
Besides, the German soldiers have long been tired of eating canned food, and it is not bad to change the taste for them, and in the end, they can still gain the praise and respect of the soldiers, and they can also leave a fortune.
It's just that the dividends at the dock port will be less distributed to the soldiers, after all, they all have ham to eat.
Get out the door.
Oriaher opened the car door and Russell got into the car.
"Godfather, we don't have a channel to buy high-quality food, and the cost of high-quality food is very expensive, a piece of ham costs two hundred."
Russell turned his head and asked, "What is the purchase price of normal ham?" ”
"Eighty to ninety."
"You just need to find 20 workers and ask them to put new packaging, label the food, and send it to Tunisia for 700 yuan!"
If you don't change the packaging and ship it to Tunisia to sell to the Chamber of Commerce, it's about five hundred and fifty. Now it's just a new package, and you can earn an extra hundred and fifteen, so why not.
How much do workers get paid? A worker can change a hundred packages for 30 lira a day, and then he can earn 1,000 and a half more!
Suddenly, Oriyatu showed a surprised expression, as if he was a little intimidated by this way of doing business, but he quickly nodded in acceptance.
Encos, who was driving in front of him, immediately understood that he was a businessman after all, and he was familiar with this way of doing business. During the Roman Empire, when many nobles paid tribute to the emperor, they would make the decorative bottles of tribute beautiful and fancy, so that they would look unique.
As soon as the emperor was happy, he would give him an item or honor that was worth more than a tribute.
The car was parked at the pier port.
Oriatu opened the car door and escorted Russell out of the car.
"Oncos."
"Yes, Godfather."
"In the future, you will get one percent of the net profit of each product."
Ankos was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bent down in gratitude: "Thank you for your generosity, godfather, I am willing to give my life for you." ”
"Life doesn't have to be done, live well, do things well."
"Yes."
Don't think that one percent is less, in fact, the profit this time is 1.4 million, and after deducting the expenses to be left for the naval fleet, there is still 1.2 million left.
Then Encos will get twelve thousand.
The money was the profit he made from two months of doing business on his own!
The tobacco was being loaded, and Oriyatu saw two of his men standing on the deck waiting, so he waved at him.
The two ran over.
"The Godfather."
Russell nodded, and Oriyatu asked, "Is there any news of the naval fleet?" ”
"Found it, the other party is the commander of two frigates, the rank is major, and the name is Pochi. He welcomed us and said he would wait on the route tonight. ”
Russell didn't expect that the person he contacted was actually a major and the commander of two destroyers.
Now the ranks and real power in Italy are too chaotic, and at the front there are often things that happen with a captain commanding two companies.
Half past seven in the evening.
Two fishing boats with a draft of 50 tons set sail, laden with tobacco.
Sixty of his men stood on the deck in high spirits, guns in hand, staring intently at the sea.
They knew that the Godfather would meet with the Navy Commander tonight.
For the officers and soldiers, these people who have been promoted from the bottom have a natural fear, because Mussolini chased the mafia a few years ago and killed them too hard and fiercely, which really scared them.
But fear doesn't mean you don't dare to do it!
Nine twelve.
Oriyatu walked into the cabin and reported, "Godfather, the fleet has been discovered. ”
"Is the cash drawer ready?"
"Yes, half lira, half gold, as you ask."
Bribery is a science, and if you give all the money, the other party will definitely not want it, because the lira is constantly depreciating. If you give it all to gold, Russell also feels unbalanced, gold is hard currency in troubled times, and antiques become worthless.
Get out of the cabin.
Russell saw two destroyers floating on the sea, with lights on each other's decks.
"Godfather, the other party said that we can only pass two people, and the big boat can't get close, and the small boat should row over."
Russell frowned and said, "Tell them that we don't have a boat, and let them send someone to pick it up." ”
"Godfather, then we're in danger."
Russell turned his head and said, "You know, if the other side wants to, it only takes two shells to sink our ship." ”
Oriatu nodded, and went to tell the signalman to turn the lamp.
The Italian Navy during World War II was called the 'fig leaf', why? It's not because the Italian Navy is so numerous, no matter how funny the army is, it can't hide the facts.
The Navy at this time had 7 battleships, 19 cruisers, 123 destroyers, 67 torpedo ships, 115 submarines!
Not to mention the combat effectiveness, this loss alone is enough to give the British Mediterranean fleet a headache when they see them.
"Godfather, the other party said to send a boat to pick it up."
Russell nodded and instructed: "Let the brothers relax, this is not a war." ”
"Okay."
It didn't take long for two soldiers to arrive in kayaks.
In the dark, Russell didn't look at their faces and went straight to the kayak.
The soldier didn't speak, just lowered his head and drove the boat, but Russell still saw that he was tired.
Isn't it funny that one of the soldiers had the rank of major on his collar?
