Chapter 6: The Mafia
After hearing the analysis of the Italians, Fang Lang finally understood the reason why there was such a huge price difference, and it seemed that he had to take advantage of the big capitalists to start to enter this market on a large scale, and hurry up to complete the capital accumulation.
"Dude, will I come here next time with the goods to find you? I know that the next time I come over, I will have the goods in my hands, and I don't have to worry about whether I can sell them or not, but since you reminded me of this way of making money, I will not leave you to make a fortune on my own. Unless you're harming my interests. Do you understand? Fang Lang didn't know if this Italian would have already gone to the battlefield when he came over next time, although he didn't have to sell cigarettes to him, but since he pointed out this way of wealth to himself, it was not Fang Lang's style to leave him behind, so it was better to ask clearly.
"Brother, you're interesting. That's right, I may move with the army the next time you come over, but it doesn't matter, I'll take you to get to know my uncle now, and the next time you come to Italy, you can go directly to my uncle. Trust me, no matter how much you bring with you, we'll be able to eat it. After that, he began to pack his stall.
Fang Lang couldn't help but admire the Italian style of doing things in a hurry, looked at the watch in his hand, although he found a big business of reselling cigarettes, but Fang Lang didn't want to give up this watch, it was better to give a high price directly and generously, so that the other party could make a little money first, and he wouldn't feel that he was indebted when he talked about the cigarette business later, one yard to one yard, so he said: "Dude, I bought this watch!" You make an offer, I don't counteroffer. ”
"Haha..... Brother, I'll take you to my uncle first, and if our business can be negotiated, then this watch will be a gift for me to make a new friend. "Italians are clearly more interested in the cigarette business now, so they don't care about the value of this little watch, if you can use this watch, you can hand over a channel that can provide cigarettes for a long time, it is definitely worth the money.
"It's my honor to be able to visit your uncle, my name is Fang Lang, I don't know what to call the brother." Seeing that the other party was unwilling to dwell too much on the matter of the watch, Fang Lang didn't say much. Since it has been decided that he wants to meet his uncle and maintain long-term cooperation, Fang Lang still decided to tell the other party his real name.
"Carlo Gambino, you can call me Carlo, I'm sure we'll soon be brothers, I don't know if I can call you Fang." Fang Lang very much wanted to tell Carlo that the name of the Chinese should be called Lang, but thinking that if it was called Lang, it would seem to be very frivolous, so forget it.
"Of course, Carlo, I'm sure we'll be good brothers soon. I don't know what gift I would give to visit your uncle. Fang Lang knew that Italians like to exchange gifts when they meet, and since they are going to visit an elder, then basic politeness Fang Lang must have.
"Fang, it seems that you know Italians very well, my uncle likes wine, let's bring a bottle of wine." Italians never mind the value of gifts, they often depend on preferences and needs, and Carlo's uncle obviously has no shortage of gifts, so Carlo suggested directly.
Soon Fang Lang followed Carlo to his uncle's apartment, and it was a young man in a suit who opened the door, and when he saw Carlo coming, he warmly shook Carlo's hand and gave him a hug, and touched his cheeks.
"Haha..... Carlo, my good brother, how can I have time to come to the house today. ”
"Hey! Nino, long time no see, today is mainly to bring a friend over to introduce to his uncle. After speaking, Fang Lang behind him said:
"This is the brother Fang Lang I know today, you can call him Fang, we want to introduce a big business to my uncle, I don't know if he is not there."
Nino looked at Fang Lang, saw him holding a bottle of wine in his hand, and enthusiastically stretched out his right hand and said, "Fang, hello, I'm Nino Gambino, Carlo's cousin, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
Fang Lang also stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Nino: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Nino." The first time I visited my home, I brought a little gift, I hope you like it. As he spoke, he handed over the wine in his hand.
"Haha..... Fang, I like your gift very much, and I'm sure my father will like it too, please come in. With that, Fang Lang was welcomed into the room, and the Italians liked to open the gift in front of them and express their gratitude, they felt that it was a sign of respect for the guests. This kind of etiquette is also what Fang Lang learned in modern society, and he didn't expect to have the opportunity to use it today.
Soon everyone entered the room and greeted the family one by one, and finally only Uncle Carlo's father and son and Fang Lang were left to sit in the living room with the four of Carlo.
"Fang, I don't know how many cigarettes you can provide." Bojan Gambino gets straight to the point.
"Mr. Gambino, I have limited funds now, so the amount of money that may be traded for the first time will not be very large, that is, about $10,000 of goods. But in two months, I'll be able to deliver millions of dollars. I don't know if you can eat it. Fang Lang is very confident that after he returns from the United States, he will become the captain of a Brazilian Navy transport ship, and the number of cigarettes he brings back from a trip to Brazil will definitely be quite amazing.
When several people heard Fang Lang's answer, they were all surprised, they didn't expect him to be able to provide such a large amount of goods, and several people knew that cigarettes were very profitable, but they were surprised that Fang Lang could transport such a large number of cigarettes.
Fang Lang didn't want to explain his identity too much, but just gave a few people a confident smile. But such a large amount clearly exceeds their share of what they can eat.
"Mr. Fang, please rest assured, we can eat it ourselves in the first two times, if there is really such a large amount in the back, please rest assured, Mr. will use the strength of our entire family, and we will definitely not let our partners down." Bojan Gambino assured Fang Lang categorically.
"Mr. Gambino, I don't know who your family is?" From the moment Fang Lang entered the room, he found that the style of several people was obviously not like a serious businessman, but with a strong gangster temperament, but according to Fang Lang's understanding that the Italian mafia during World War II was cleaned up by Mussolini very badly, which made Fang Lang not very sure, so he tentatively said.
Looking at Fang Lang's expression, several people knew what Fang Lang was thinking, because everyone on the earth knew that in addition to the army that likes to surrender, Italy's most well-known specialty is the mafia.
Several people's eyes were focused on the old man, Bojan Gambino, obviously Nino and Carlo were asking if they wanted to reveal it to Fang Lang, but Fang Lang was waiting for his answer.
I saw the old man look directly into Fang Lang's eyes and nodded lightly, "We will become real brothers, won't we?" ”
Fang Lang knew that the current mafia might still be the target of the Italian government, so when he saw the old man nodding instead of admitting it, he understood what he meant. Fang Lang doesn't mind what the other party's identity is, the identity of the mafia is nothing to fear, his identity is a soldier, I believe they don't dare to do anything excessive to him, as for the future, he can also support a Chinese gangster! Thinking of this, Fang Lang didn't say much, stood up and stretched out his right hand and said:
"Of course I'm sure we'll be very close brothers, and it's an honor to know you, Mr. Gambino."
The old man was also very happy to hear Fang Lang's answer, stood up, reached out to hold Fang Lang's hand, came to a hug, and gave a veneer salute and laughed: "Haha..... We're already the closest brothers, aren't we? ”
Carlo and Nino, watching the two hug each other, their tense bodies finally relaxed. also stood up and shook hands with Fang Lang again.
