"Do you mean that you said that you bought another ship to run the transportation? The current route was very dangerous, and the German submarines were so elusive that they could easily be sunk without a fleet escort. Commodore Jackson was surprised when he heard Fang Lang's idea of buying a transport ship himself.

"My plan is to move my transport ship with the convoy so that it will be safer. I don't know if Uncle Jackson has a suitable ship to sell me right now. Fang Lang knew that it was not impossible to buy ships outside, but the price of buying captured ships from Commodore Jackson was definitely cheaper than buying them directly on the market.

"We do have a few transport ships captured from the enemy, but they are not as large in tonnage as the free wheels, and the maximum load is only 5,000 tons. If you are sure that you want to buy it, I will let you check it out below and choose the right ship for you. But the price of the ship is not cheap! At least $50,000 a ship. Commodore Jackson naturally had nothing to do with Fang Lang's purchase of the transport ships in the hands of the US military, and now due to the nervousness of the US military crew, some transport ships are idle.

The U.S. military did not dare to use Italian crews, first, for fear that spies would infiltrate the fleet and want the Germans to convey the fleet's information, and second, the Italians were resistant to fleets participating in military purposes.

"Uncle Jackson is so nice, can you buy one for $50,000? Then I will pay fifty-five thousand dollars for each ship, of which fifty-ten thousand will be paid to the U.S. Department of the Navy, and the other five thousand will be paid to Mrs. Jackson's private account in the form of consulting fees from the United States Global Trade Import and Export Co., Ltd. Although a second-hand freighter of $50,000 is not particularly cheap, it can further deepen the relationship with Commodore Jackson by purchasing a freighter, and Fang Lang will not give up such a good opportunity.

Brigadier General Jackson obviously didn't expect that Fang Lang would have such a commotion, and obviously didn't know how to respond for a while. After a long time, he took a deep look at Fang Lang and said, "If you buy three, it will indeed help us reduce a lot of burden, so be it!" I decided to lower the price to $45,000 for a 5,000-ton ship. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Jackson, for taking care of my little nephew, and since that is the case, I will pay the U.S. Department of the Navy forty-five thousand dollars for each ship, and Mrs. Jackson ten thousand dollars for her consultancy. I don't know if Uncle Jackson thinks it's appropriate! As soon as Fang Lang heard Brigadier General Jackson's answer, he obviously approved of his idea, which was much simpler, as long as Brigadier General Jackson collected the consultation fee this time. Well, there are many things that will be solved in the future.

"The consulting fee of $10,000 is too high, so let's follow five thousand! You can't let you suffer too much, it's not easy for young people to start a business. I will arrange for the Navy to select three of the newest and greatest ships to be delivered to you, and will carry out a full overhaul of your ship, fill it up and hand it over to you. "Brigadier General Jackson is obviously a good partner who will do things when he gets paid, and he is very caring. Anyway, he doesn't have to pay for these things, and the U.S. government will pay for them.

"Thank you so much Uncle Jackson, I don't know if my nephew can have a warehouse of his own in the Navy Warehouse, my little nephew has some goods that need to be stored, but I am worried that it will not be safe to put them outside, so I want to rent a warehouse in the Navy Warehouse to store the goods."

This kind of trivial matter is simply not a matter for Brigadier General Jackson, and he directly arranged for Fang Lang: "Wait a minute, I will inform our naval logistics to allocate an additional warehouse to your Brazilian Expeditionary Force, but this warehouse will not notify you of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, and you will personally sign for it on behalf of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force Navy, understand?" ”

"Uncle Jackson, I hope you will continue to keep an eye out for some good ships, and you can rest assured that each one will be paid at the current price. In addition, I don't know if my uncle can provide five passes to facilitate our vehicles to enter and leave the barracks and carry goods. After the end of World War II, the rapid economic recovery will be imminent, and the United States will soon begin to launch the Marshall Plan for Europe to help Europe rebuild its economic order.

At this time, having a large fleet in hand would make Fang Lang rich. In this way, Fang Lang quickly reached a strategic partnership with Brigadier General Jackson, and after leaving the office, Fang Lang went directly to the logistics storage area and received a warehouse that nominally belonged to the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, but actually belonged to himself, with an area of more than 1,000 square meters, plus the height of the warehouse was more than ten meters.

When Fang Lang and the crew of the Charles Jos moved all the goods into the warehouse, they failed to fill a quarter of the warehouse. When Bojan Gambino and others drove five trucks and followed Fang Lang into the military restricted area, the shock in their hearts was even more unintentional, and they did not dare to have any bad thoughts.

After completing the transaction, the Gambino family directly deposited $1 million into Fang Lang's account at Bank of America. The predecessor of Bank of America was the Bank of Italy in 1904, and it was renamed Bank of America in 1929 after merging with Bank of America in California. Therefore, it is very convenient to carry out deposit and withdrawal business in the United States and Italy.

The remaining $375,000 was delivered to Fang Lang in cash. When Fang Lang put more than 150,000 US dollars in front of the crew of the Charles Joss, the impact on the crew was unprecedented, especially the captains of several other ships who were invited by Captain Cross.

When Fang Lang returned three times the income to the crew members according to the list of crew members and the amount of investment one by one, the atmosphere reached a climax.

"Brothers, thanks to your support for this business, we have achieved a complete victory, because I have finished the assessment with the ship, so I can't be born and die in the same boat with you in the future. But I will not forget the friendship with everyone, nor will I forget the help they have helped me, so I decided to share this channel of wealth with you. I don't know if you want it. After Fang Lang finished sharing the profits, he began to make an exciting speech, of course, the purpose was to let the crew continue to give themselves a steady stream of cigarettes.

"Want, want......" everyone shouted in unison, and the sound was about to break through the deck.

Fang Lang hurriedly pressed down with both hands, signaling everyone to keep a low profile.

After everyone's voices were lowered, he said, "I know everyone is very excited and wants to get rich, but I still have to make it clear to everyone." First of all, we are transporting the goods to Italy for sale by means of private entrainment, so we should keep a low profile and not attract the attention of the gendarmes and the Admiralty bosses. Second, because this kind of goods, you need to bear your own risk, just like this time, by all of you to pay for the goods, in the Italian branch of Global Trade Import and Export Co., Ltd. to get the delivery certificate, to the New York World Trade Import and Export Co., Ltd. headquarters of the New York terminal office to pick up the goods, the amount of goods to be picked up according to your own economic strength and transportation strength to decide, after shipping to Italy, all the goods will be stored to, after the global trade company in the warehouse inspection of the wharf storage area, You can directly get three times the price of the goods. Do you all understand? ”

"Understood! But we don't know where these two companies are! We were short on time, and we didn't have much time to look around for the addresses of these two companies! Soon someone spoke.

"This time! I will help you to deliver the bill of lading of the Italian branch to the dock later, and as for the dock office in New York, it is also easy to find, and you can see it more than 100 meters after coming out of the dock. Of course, if you don't want to look for more than 100 meters, then you can only say that you still watch your brothers get rich! Money has nothing to do with you. ”

The crowd laughed.

Now Fang Lang only needs to register a branch in Italy and recruit good personnel, even if he has built a cigarette import and export channel from the United States to Italy.

When its own fleet grows later, the company will take off quickly.
