Chapter Seventy-Six: An Invitation to a Family Dinner

Fang Lang didn't expect to receive Reinhardt's feedback so soon, and couldn't help but be happy about his decision, but Fang Lang didn't want Reinhardt to pay off the favor so quickly, of course, he also considered that if you want to get a true friendship, you should compare your hearts to your heart, so although Fang Lang liked this gift very much, he had to hesitate and said:

"Reinhardt, is that good? Will it have any bad effect on you or your family? After all, this was supposed to be your trophy, which you gave to our Brazilian Navy. ”

Hearing Fang Lang's worry, Reinhardt was also stunned, and took a deep look at Fang Lang and said:

"Fang, you are really a good friend, even in the face of such temptations, you are still thinking about me. But, rest assured, we are friends and at the same time allies, and the Germans ordered their submarine forces to surrender to the British Empire, and the Americans would not have received them?

Therefore, you don't have to worry about it at all, even if everyone finds out that you have captured a U-boat afterwards, who will dare to open your mouth to go back? I'm sure your Brazilian government won't agree either!

Even if the Brazilian government agrees, will your navy be willing? So you don't have to worry about that at all. Besides, as long as you don't publicize this matter, it won't attract the attention of others. ”

Seeing Reinhardt's attitude, Fang Lang knew that they had already thought it through, so he didn't say pretentiously:

"Since that's the case, then you're welcome, when are we leaving!"

"Well! Wait, my Harry is still being repaired, but it should be done tomorrow afternoon. Then we can go. There is another thing that came here today, that is, my mother wants to invite you to the house for a family dinner, and I wonder if you will be able to enjoy it. ”

Looking at Reinhardt's expectant expression, Fang Lang laughed and said:

"Really? It was such an honor. However, I am not familiar with this area, I don't know if there are any suitable shops nearby, so I immediately went to find a suitable gift, when is the family banquet scheduled? ”

Fang Lang's cheerfulness made Reinhardt very happy, he didn't expect Fang Lang to agree to his family banquet without hesitation, to be honest, this was the first time Reinhardt invited a non-aristocrat to a dinner at home, and he was very worried that British etiquette would make Fang Lang uncomfortable.

In fact, Reinhardt was completely overwhelmed, Fang Lang had even experienced the fact that the Brazilian hostess invited him to take a bath together, what else could Fang Lang not accept!

"Fang, this time it's mainly my mother who wants to thank you for my things, so you don't have to prepare a special gift. You can enjoy the attendance, which is the best gift.

My father and grandfather are both in London, so this is not a common tea party or banquet, but a simple family dinner, and I hope you won't feel lazy. ”

As soon as he heard Reinhardt's words, Fang Lang also let out a sigh of relief, thinking, it's not the best set of your British nobles, otherwise, I really can't get used to it.

"Hey! Reinhardt has nothing to do with it, he came to England, as a friend, it is only right to visit your house, we are friends, don't pay too much attention to these. I remembered that I had a bottle of whiskey purchased in the USA on my boat, which was very nice and when we were leaving. ”

For Fang Lang's refreshment, Reinhardt was obviously not very comfortable, and hurriedly said:

"If it's convenient for you, we can go right now, and my mother prepared the best steak and fried fish that was guaranteed to be very tasty."

Hearing Reinhardt praise his mother for preparing British food, Fang Lang couldn't help pouting in his heart, as a food desert, who gave you the courage to make you feel that British food can conquer the discerning taste buds of Chinese.

However, as a friend, Fang Lang will definitely not show it, after all, others invite you warmly, and you can't pick and choose the food carefully prepared by others. This is the most basic courtesy.

"Then you wait, I'll go change my clothes, grab the gifts, and we'll go."

Reinhardt's home in Plymouth is obviously just a country holiday house, the house doesn't look very old, it doesn't have that sense of history, but the whole house is made of stone, and it is clear that there is a lot of investment.

When Fang Lang came to the door in Reinhardt's car, a very delicately dressed woman was already standing at the door of the house waiting.

Under the introduction of Reinhardt, Fang Lang sent the whiskey he brought, and as the two entered the interior, they didn't expect that the country house looked very ordinary outside, but the interior was very luxuriously decorated, which made Fang Lang can't help but sigh, the British aristocracy is different.

Maybe the topic we are going to talk about today is more private, so there are no outsiders present at home. However, Fang Lang could see that the usual villa should be taken care of by servants.

After greeting each other, Fang Lang came directly to a long dining table under the guidance of the two, the layout on the table was very exquisite, whether it was tableware or plating, Fang Lang could see the owner's intentions.

Fang Lang is also not polite, after all, the British are not Chinese, but there is no need to pay attention to humility. I don't know if I'm tired of eating the food on the ship for a long time, Fang Lang actually felt that the legendary unpalatable British food was not unpalatable.

A few people will talk about the weather in the United Kingdom, and the economic environment in the United Kingdom will be talked about at the same time. Chatting and chatting, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Reinhardt's mother, Mrs. Henderson, actually talked about the Fang Lang family's business.

"Mrs. Henderson, in fact, our family is mainly engaged in some shipping-related business now. Some time ago, I just established several companies in the United States and want to expand my business, mainly in shipbuilding, logistics, and supporting terminals. ”

"Oh! Is Mr. Fang's family also going into shipbuilding? It's a strong property for our family, and we may be able to help if needed. ”

Hearing Mrs. Henderson's words, Fang Lang couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately understood what she meant, this was to express his gratitude. However, what Fang Lang wants to intervene in is not a traditional cargo ship, but will directly eliminate the old technology and open up a new road.

However, thinking about the background of Reinhardt's family, Fang Lang felt that maybe he could directly find a partner in the UK, as for the strength of the partner, he was not worried, everyone was talking business.

If the Reinhardt family has the strength, then it's a big deal to give you a little more shares. If the strength is not good, then I'm sorry. I can only let you follow behind and drink some soup.

"Mrs. Henderson, our family's shipbuilding industry could be a huge shock to traditional shipbuilding, if you will, I can introduce your company to our company and together we will set up a brand new shipbuilding business in the UK. Well, I assure you, this shipbuilding enterprise will soon become, the largest shipbuilding enterprise in the UK, without one. ”

Fang Lang's confident speech made Mrs. Henderson frown, and she began to feel that Fang Lang was a Brazilian, if it wasn't for you saving my son, I wouldn't be here to listen to these arrogant speeches.

Reinhardt also looked at Fang Lang with a surprised expression, in his limited contact with Fang Lang, he didn't expect Fang Lang to have such a side.

The expressions of the two of them, Fang Lang was naturally in full view. Fang Lang didn't care about it, but since he did have plans to open up a market in a traditional European and American power like the United Kingdom, it was naturally a good thing to further bundle the interests of both parties through this shipyard.

Therefore, Fang Lang directly elaborated to the two of them in detail about the ideas of the containers designed by the shipbuilding company he established in the United States.

After listening to Fang Lang's explanation, Mrs. Henderson and Reinhardt's faces changed greatly, and they looked at Fang Lang with a shocked expression:

"Mr. Fang, is what you said true? If you say that once this is realized, then all the current freighters will be directly eliminated, oh my! God, this is incredible. ”

"Hey! If you are really going to build a container ship in the UK, I hope that the family business will have the opportunity to participate. ”

Fang Lang smiled slightly:

"As a friend, of course, I can't deceive you, but the specific cooperation plan still needs to be discussed with the company by yourself, and I don't want to get too involved in this kind of thing. But I'll introduce you to them, so that at least you've got a head start. ”

Mrs. Henderson smiled helplessly:

"Mr. Fang, originally to thank you for everything you have done for Reinhardt, I also wanted to help your company. I couldn't have imagined that I would hear such amazing news from you in the end, thank you so much.

Tomorrow, I will ask the people of the company to take the initiative to contact you Global Shipbuilding, and you can rest assured that we will definitely show the greatest sincerity to promote this cooperation. ”
