Chapter 85: Goodbye Father-in-law

For a discussion that took place for more than six hours, both sides were very satisfied. And both sides have an extra gain.

Due to the late hour, Fang Lang and the others did not rush back to Genoa overnight, but spent the night in Piacenza. Early the next morning, I drove all the way back to Genoa.

After Fang Lang returned to Genoa to arrange the work of the army, he went directly to the office of Global Trade in Genoa.

Although the work has always been communicated by telegram, Fang Lang now wants the steel mills and shipyards in Genoa to support the new steel mills and shipyards in Brazil.

Therefore, Fang Lang had to get to know his steel mill and shipyard in Genoa for himself.

It just so happened that his father-in-law was also in Genoa, and it was not appropriate for Fang Lang not to meet his father-in-law.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and after Coburn personally poured a cup of coffee for Fang Lang, he couldn't wait to speak;

"Boss, you're finally back, and if you don't come back, I'll be looking for you."

Fang Lang was stunned, what happened to Lilith? That's not right! I haven't hit a home run yet!

"What's wrong?"

"In accordance with your instructions, the company has been buying transport ships from the US military. However, now that the war is over and the shipping routes are safe, everyone has started to rush to buy transport ships, which has caused the price of transport ships to skyrocket.

We are very sorry that the purchase plan you set for us was not completed on time, and I wonder if we will also increase the purchase price. ”

Cockburn said cautiously, slightly apologetically.

Hearing that it was just that the plan was not completed, and he was afraid that he would blame him, Fang Lang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This is a big deal, if you can't buy it, you can rent it! Anyway, these ships have not been brilliant for a few years, and it is convenient to buy less and sell them.

smiled indifferently:

"I thought something had happened to Lilith! What does this little thing matter, how many ships do we have now! ”

Fang Lang's words made Mr. Cockburn directly embarrassed, obviously making him a little embarrassed to discuss his daughter and his affairs with his boss.

can only say with a strange expression:

"Lilith and Vivien are very nice, but they both miss you a little, and if you don't have time to go to Naples, I can call them over."

I didn't expect Mr. Cockburn to answer like this, didn't he make it clear that he didn't object to taking the sister flower directly! What a blessing! The old man didn't object, so what else was there to say.

Fang Lang's expression began to uncontrollably want to laugh, laugh, laugh, then laugh.

"Really? That's great, and I miss them, but I don't really have time to go to Naples right now. ”

For Fang Lang's answer, Mr. Cockburn really hated itchy, and he couldn't wait to pour the coffee in front of him directly from the top of Fang Lang's head.

Can it be more shameless! This can't be called a scumbag! It's just a beast, but I can't change it, who called the three women in the family have already reached an agreement! can only directly change the topic:

"Now we have 56 freighters, all of which are heading to the United States and Brazil. However, the war has only just ended. Therefore, the supplies have not yet arrived so quickly, and the earliest supplies are expected to arrive in four days. ”

Seeing that his father-in-law's face was a little dark, Fang Lang decisively sorted out his mood and started working seriously, otherwise even he himself would not be able to help but want to beat himself.

"Since everyone is competing for freighters, let's not get involved anymore. Once the routes are safe, we can outsource our transportation tasks directly to the transport company.

Global Trading is a trading company, and we operate separately from Global Transportation, and we have independent accounting. Didn't the U.S. arrange for someone to come and take over the shipping company? ”

When it comes to the company, Mr. Cockburn is still very serious.

"I've taken over, I'm handing over with Global Steel and Global Shipbuilding these days, if you're a few days late, I should be back in Naples."

Apparently, several new companies, formed during their studies in the United States, have already started running according to plan. Then the program for the creation of steel mills and shipyards in Brazil can begin.

"Oh! Then meet with them tonight, there is some work to be arranged for them. When will the two factories be able to resume production? ”

When it comes to the resumption of production at the factory, Mr. Cockburn can't help but be glad.

"It probably depends on the integration! Luckily, we bought Genoa outright when it was just being recovered. As soon as the Germans surrendered, someone came to raid the factory, but luckily we identified ourselves as an American branch in Italy.

It was not confiscated. Another shipyard was seized by the occupying forces because it was an Italian company and had built warships for the Italian Navy.

Recently, we have recruited quite a few talents from the employees of their factories, alas! It seems that although the war is over, it may take a long time to restore normal life! ”

Unexpectedly, there is a shipyard that has built warships for the Italian Navy, isn't this exactly what you need? Don't feel that the combat effectiveness of the Italian army is not good, and that the Italian equipment is not good either.

No matter what others say, it is also a world power, and its equipment manufacturing capacity is still quite good. If you want to think of some high-end car brands such as Lali, you will know.

"You say this shipyard built warships for the Italian Navy? Do we have any designers for their company? ”

Speaking of the current situation of Italian workers, Mr. Cockburn couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if it weren't for Lilith knowing Fang Lang, maybe his family would be struggling with food and clothing now!

Thinking of this, the resentment against Fang Lang's son-in-law is much smaller, after all, this is also the benefactor who rescued their family from the sea of suffering!

"There must be! Prices are soaring and supplies are in short supply in Italy. Because of the war, everyone basically made military equipment for the army. As a result, many factories are now being raided, liquidated, or shut down.

The original workers are all unemployed. Only when an enterprise with an American-funded background like ours can still operate normally, and we recruit some workers, so that everyone will not go hungry.

However, the shortage of various raw materials is severe. For example, the steel mill has been shut down because there is no iron ore. ”

Isn't it a joke that work was stopped because of raw materials? Brazil is now a supplier of raw materials to the United States! What kind of raw materials are not.

Isn't this the thirsty man who met the water seller? Fang Lang said indifferently:

"Brazil has one of the world's largest iron ore reserves, so you ask Global Trade Brazil to buy iron ore directly from Vale, Brazil, and get the factory up and running.

Soon, the United States will pass a plan to aid Europe. The demand for infrastructure materials such as steel and cement will flourish, and we must seize the opportunity to develop rapidly. ”

"Aid to Europe?"

Fang Lang immediately realized that he was quick to speak for a while, and almost revealed history, so he quickly changed the topic and said:

"Yes, but not so fast. Now Italy should be the most valuable goods such as grain and oil, and we need to make good use of our status as a multinational company.

Keep the telegraph open and keep the scarce goods flowing between countries at any time. By the way, has the demand for cigarettes and the like slowed down now? ”

Fang Lang is still very concerned about his main business, with the end of the war. The mental stress on the soldiers was not as great as it was during the war, although the demand for cigarettes remained.

However, people will not continue to spend high prices on cigarettes. Therefore, when Fang Lang was about to end the war, he directly notified Global Trade to start reducing the purchase of cigarettes.

Change the direction of business and start to deal with the necessities of people's lives, such as grain, oil, spices, coffee, etc.

"Cigarette sales have dropped significantly, but the good luck cigarettes that have recently been shipped from Brazil have a lot of flavor and are very distinctive. Although there is no way to continue to maintain the original high price.

However, the Gambino family still hopes that this channel will not stop. However, I suspect that when the government officially returns to normal, we may have to obtain a monopoly license for the sale of alcohol and tobacco. ”

After all, Mr. Coburn was born in a regular business, so there are still some scruples about cooperating with the Gambino family, perhaps because the Mussolini government's crackdown on the mafia has left him with lingering palpitations.

He is afraid that when the good import and export trade will be characterized by the government as tobacco smuggling, he will be in trouble. It is still necessary to obtain government authorization to reassure him.

And Fang Lang doesn't care, it's a big deal to let my uncle's new water gang cooperate directly with the Gambino family, as long as the cigarettes in my factory can be sold and there is money to be made, I don't bother to care about how to sell them.

Therefore, Fang Lang said casually:

"Hmmm! These things are fine for you to think of yourself. ”
