Lieutenant Colonel Ragham listened to Fang Lang's suggestion that the soldiers could be arranged to accompany the ship, and his doubts were put down.

"You're right, if you can negotiate, then arrange personnel to escort the ship!"

The two walked into the restaurant as they spoke, and not long after they sat down. Fang Lang saw that Mr. Cockburn had also come to the door of the restaurant, and hurriedly got up and waved. When Mr. Lieutenant Colonel saw Fang Lang get up, he knew that the guest had arrived, so he could only reluctantly pull his butt up from the seat.

Looking at the visitor, I saw a middle-aged white man in a suit with meticulous hair combed, a calm and calm bookish anger.

Fang Lang stepped forward to shake hands and greet the two of them and introduced them, and after the three of them sat down separately, the staff of the restaurant began to serve the dishes that had already been ordered in order. Foreigners are not very accustomed to talking about business at the dinner table, so at first they were talking about Italian scenery and so on.

Soon after the meal, Lieutenant Colonel Ragham couldn't wait to speak: "Mr. Cockburn, I heard from Fang that you have three ships in your hands that have no transport tasks, right?" ”

"There were three ships, but it can't be said that there was no transportation mission, it was the American head office that asked us to sail the ship to New York to help transport some military supplies, but we were not very willing to go to the United States empty, so we did not make the trip immediately. But since Mr. Fang has found me, we can take over the business of helping your army transport supplies back to Brazil, but the price may be relatively high, I hope Mr. Graham can understand. Mr. Cockburn said lightly.

Originally, Ragham heard Cockburn say that the United States needed a ship here to transport military supplies, and he thought it was no fun, but later he heard that he could pick it up, mainly because of the price. What can be the problem with this, the freight is borne by the Brazilian government, but the materials transported back are their own and the army commander's, this kind of operation that harms the public and private interests is not too simple, so Lieutenant Colonel Ragham said easily: "Mr. Coburn, please rest assured, the problem of money is not a problem, I will not counteroffer if you make an offer." ”

Listening to Lieutenant Colonel Graham's arrogant answer, Fang Lang thought that this chief died from a local tyrant from Saudi Arabia! Mr. Cockburn was also stunned, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Lieutenant Colonel Graham, we now have three cargo ships with a deadweight of 5,500 tons, and if you are sure to use charter ships, our one-way offer to Brazil is 30,000 US dollars per ship." ”

Although Lieutenant Colonel Graham said that he was not short of money, he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the freight of 30,000 US dollars a trip, glanced at Fang Lang, made a look, and wanted Fang Lang to help say good things. It's a pity that Fang Lang acted as if he was an outsider from the beginning of their business talks, looking around the restaurant, looking for dazzling beauties, and completely regarded Graham's eyes as eye cramps.

Graham saw Fang Lang's performance, and he was also very helpless, the cowhide was blown out by himself again, and now he can't get off the stage. His eyes rolled and he said: "Mr. Coburn, your price is reasonable, and I don't want to accept it, but we don't know if we can discuss it, your fuel and daily necessities for your return trip are all provided by our Brazilian Navy, and I don't know if the price can be slightly discounted." ”

Mr. Cockburn thought for a moment, "If that's the case, we can accept a minimum of twenty-eight thousand five hundred dollars per ship." But let's be clear first, we are not responsible for the safety of the cargo, and no insurance company is willing to cover the cargo by sea. The main thing is that the German submarines are too much to guard against, and the risks we need to take are very huge, and the ship may be destroyed and killed at any time. I hope you understand. ”

"I understand that this is a special time, and I agree to the price. If the loss of goods is caused by war, we are not responsible for your company, but if it is for other reasons, you will be liable. In addition, because our cargo is the logistics of the army, we need to arrange escorts on each ship, and we hope that you can provide convenience. Lieutenant Colonel Graham also made his request at the right time.

Such a request was of course undesirable for Cockburn, and it would be safer to have the military to provide protection on board. Therefore, he did not hesitate to say: "Of course, it is a normal procedure for the cargo owner to arrange personnel to supervise the safety of the cargo on board, and we must actively cooperate." ”

In this way, the two quickly reached a preliminary intention, and as for the specific details of cooperation, they agreed to arrange a special person to discuss in detail with the global trading company tomorrow. In the end, the two ended the meeting in a relaxed and happy atmosphere.

Fang Lang very much wanted to go home with Mr. Coburn to see Miss Lilith, but unfortunately he was not free before the Brazilian Navy reported, and there were still his own soldiers to manage in the barracks, so he could only follow Lieutenant Colonel Graham's jeep back to the barracks.

Fang Lang, who returned to the barracks, did not know that Mr. Cockburn, who had returned home at this time, was interrogating his family about his first day of work behind his back.

"Honey, how does it feel on the first day of work today, is my son-in-law's company large?" Mrs. Cockburn looked at her husband with an eager expression.

When Coburn heard his wife's name for Fang Lang, his head was suddenly covered with black lines, while Lilith next to him instantly blushed his cheeks. It made the sister on the side giggle.

Looking at the expectant eyes of the family, Cockburn had to tell what he saw and heard in the company today, and heard that Fang Lang was commensurate with the uncle and nephew of the American Navy, and directly received three 5,000-ton freighters from the US military at one time, which made Mrs. Cockburn's eyes shine golden.

I also heard that the ship that had just arrived was about to have business to the door, and when the freight of a trip was even higher and scary, I praised it again and again, and turned to Lilith and said: "I said Lilith, do you have any idea about Fang Lang!" I can tell you that I have a crush on this son-in-law. If you can't take it, I'll arrange for your sister to go out!" ”

If Fang Lang was here, he would definitely hold his mother-in-law's hand and call him his mother-in-law, not for Lilith, but mainly because he really didn't want to change his mother-in-law.

It's a pity that the father and daughter at the scene were directly rectified, and looked at the woman in front of them dumbfounded. Lilith's face turned even redder: "Mom, what are you talking about!" ”

The younger sister Vivian next to her is still a little girl who has just turned sixteen years old, Tingting Yuli, who has already fallen, and is very outstanding in appearance like her sister, but unlike her sister's black hair that inherited her father, she has the same golden hair as her mother, and her appearance is very similar to the Italian anchor Dirita Leotta in later generations, but her skin is whiter.

As a sixteen-year-old girl, Vivien was of course able to understand her mother's meaning, and she had a very good relationship with her sister, and then she answered: "Mother, how can you say that! I'm not going to rob my sister's man. We're good sisters, and if my sister can't take it, I'll take it with my sister, and the two of us will definitely be able to take it. ”

Listening to Wei Wei'an's words, Mr. Cockburn almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood. And Mrs. Coburn began to nod thoughtfully: "What Wei Wei'an said is also reasonable, the war has drastically reduced the male population in Italy, and there may be many women who will not be able to marry in the future, although my daughters are very beautiful, but I can't just find a man to marry." Vivian, your idea is very constructive, I agree. If your sister can't take it alone, I support your plan, and I don't believe that there is still that man who can resist the temptation of the sister flower. ”

At this time, Lilith was already numb, how could she do this, she didn't seem to be able to take down Shang Lang now, and her mother had already arranged a backup plan, but when she remembered the love words she said to herself and the eyes she looked at when Fang Lang sent her home last night, she couldn't help but feel a sweet feeling in her heart again.

I don't know if Lilith really likes Fang Lang, or if she is affected by what her mother and sister said, and she has begun to regard Fang Lang as her boyfriend.

"I don't want to pay attention to you anymore!" Lilith shyly ran back to the room, and her sister Wei'an quickly got up and whispered to her sister.

Mrs. Cockburn continued to ponder the feasibility of the plan on the sofa, and from her expression she could see that she must have thought of something good, and her face was full of smiles.

Poor Mr. Coburn was dazed in the wind, and remembered Socrates' three questions of soul, who I am, where I came from, and where I am going.
