Chapter 567: Grey Industry 2
Girard did not expect such a reversal, as a practitioner in the related industry, he is of course very familiar with the profits of the arms market, and now he has the opportunity to engage in the trade of related products with the support of the general, which is of course a rare opportunity for him.
He didn't care what Fang Lang said about selling the products to the customers designated by the other party, although Fang Lang said that he would only let him make a small fortune, but he knew very well in his heart that what he needed was a ticket to enter this industry, as long as he entered this industry, he would have the opportunity to make his career go further through his own efforts.
However, this time he also learned to be obedient, and did not directly express his inner thoughts and excitement, but forcibly suppressed his inner excitement and carefully thought about the meaning of Fang Lang's words. After a long while, he hesitated a little and tentatively said:
"When you say sell to a designated person, do you mean that all the goods can only be sold to the person you designate, or at some point, at a relatively low price, some goods of better quality will be sold to the customers you say."
Fang Lang glanced at this Girard with some surprise, he didn't expect this guy to ask this question, it seems to be quite politically minded!
"Since we want you to make money, of course, it is only necessary to borrow your name at certain times, but most of the time you are free, we will provide you with enough supplies, and arrange professional manpower to help you build a complete team.
But let me make it clear to you first that 90 percent of the profits from the business must be handed over to the fleet logistics department, and you must not let anyone know that this business has anything to do with our fleet. Once we discover the risk of leakage, you will bear all the consequences. Do you understand? ”
When Girard heard this, he looked up at Fang Lang in disbelief, and stammered a little:
"Leave it to the fleet logistics? Isn't that supposed to be handed over to you? ”
He never thought that after a long time, this business was not the private business of the general in front of him, but the business of the entire fleet, so that outsiders would not know who the boss behind it was, he had already predicted it, and even once he leaked his secrets, he would face the situation of extinction.
After being in this business for so long, if he hadn't understood this thing, he wouldn't have to think about going further in it.
"This business is the business of all the officers and men of our fleet, and the proceeds will be used for the welfare of the officers and men, so you don't have to worry about your safety outside, if anyone dares to hurt you, you must be prepared to face our retaliation.
However, if you mix some small actions in your business and harm the interests of all our officers and men, you must also be prepared to face the anger of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers. ”
Fang Lang felt that this Girard seemed to be a little timid, he was worried that the other party would not be confident when he went out to discuss business with others, and he would be pinched by someone when the time came. So, tell him directly that this is a business related to the welfare of the whole fleet, so that he has enough courage.
Of course, he can also tell him directly that this is his personal business, but if this word gets out one day, it may become a lever for others to attack him.
After all, no one can guarantee that this guy will really never be exposed, or that he will really be able to keep a secret forever.
Although Girard didn't understand the purpose of Fang Lang's words, in fact, in his heart, he was working for Fang Lang, as for Fang Lang's statement that the profits from the business would be used to improve the welfare of the officers and soldiers of the fleet, he had no doubts, after all, this kind of business often can't last long.
He has always been a junior brother, and now he has the opportunity to become a real big arms dealer, and he will not give up such an opportunity no matter what, so he didn't think too much about it, gritted his teeth and said directly:
"Your Excellency, thank you for giving me such an opportunity, please accept my allegiance."
After speaking, he didn't get up, and knelt directly on the ground, Fang Lang didn't expect this guy to come like this, but he didn't mean to get up and help at all, this Gilard can be said to be a dark chess piece that he cast, and he didn't care how far the other party could go.
It was the height of colonial independence, and although he was the majority shareholder of Shata, Shata had a lot of business around the world. However, in a large company like Shata, the target customers are generally some large organizations, and many small organizations can easily not be ignored.
At this time, Girard went out, more or less to fill the market gap missed by Shata Company, and formed differentiated competition with the other party.
When the two poles of the world slowly take shape, the Soviet Union will definitely find a way to impose targeted restrictions on the Shata Company, and at this time, the inconspicuous private arms dealer Gerard will not be able to develop and grow. If there is an opportunity, it is not impossible to purchase some weapons and equipment from the Soviet Union for external sales!
Moreover, arms dealers are often the most sensitive people in the world, and the sudden appearance of a large number of arms orders in a peaceful area often means that some major changes are about to occur in the place, and this is real intelligence.
Fang Lang was ready to let the intelligence officers of the Investigation Department of Fangyuan Group find a way to infiltrate the high-level of the Girard Arms Company, so that they could collect all kinds of intelligence in time outside.
As for why the personnel of the Investigation Department were not directly responsible for the arms trade, it was because the Investigation Department was definitely more important and needed to be concealed than Girard.
With Gilard in front, even if someone finds out about Gilard and Fang Lang behind him, they will only think that this is Fang Lang's behavior of using power for personal gain, and they can't do anything with him.
If the enemy stabbed the matter to the Brazilian government, Fang Lang could treat this matter as a public matter, after all, the profits did not go into Fang Lang's personal pocket, but became the funds for the development of the intelligence network and the welfare of the officers and soldiers of the fleet.
Even if the Ministry of Defense and the government want to punish it, it will be a violation at most, but it is not illegal, and anyone who wants to make a fuss about this matter must be prepared to face the anger of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, as long as they are not stupid, no one should want to continue the investigation.
In this way, the intelligence officers hidden under the arms dealers will seem less important, after all, who knows if these intelligence officers are not from the Brazilian intelligence service? As long as the Brazilian Intelligence Agency does not come forward to deny it, no one can continue to pursue it.
In the end, at most, Girard will be taken out to take the blame, and when Girard is cold, another person will continue to take over the business.
Therefore, in the final analysis, Girard is simply a chess piece in front of Fang Lang, and how far he can go in the end depends on his own ability, if, in the end, he can become a world-class arms dealer, as long as he does not betray Fang Lang, Fang Lang is not prepared to do anything with him.
If he fell halfway, it would only be to blame him for his bad life.
"Very well, I accept your allegiance, and I hope you don't disappoint me."
After speaking, he turned his head to Qi Qingshan on the side and said:
"Qingshan, you take him down to make arrangements! We don't want to meddle in business matters, but our people must be responsible for the finances. ”
When Qi Qingshan heard this, he glanced at Girard, who was still kneeling on the ground, and stood up and saluted:
"Yes, boss!"
After speaking, he looked at Gilard and said:
"Mr. Girard, please come with me!"
Hearing Qi Qingshan's greeting, Girard hurriedly got up from the ground, stood behind Qi Qingshan and walked out, and when he went out, he didn't forget to turn his head and bow to Fang Lang, with a flattering look on his face, and he had a fight with the devil translator.
Qi Qingshan led Girard out of the office building, came to a Willis jeep downstairs, got into the car directly to light the light, and tilted his head at the passenger seat to signal Girard to sit down.
When Girard saw that it was Qi Qingshan watching, he seemed to hesitate, but in the end he gritted his teeth and quickly turned to the passenger seat and climbed up.
After waiting for the other party to get in the car, Qi Qingshan directly started the vehicle and drove to the munitions warehouse group next to the airport. The vehicle traveled for about seven or eight minutes and stopped in front of a huge warehouse.
Qi Qingshan didn't get out of the car, pressed the horn twice, a small door next to the warehouse opened, and two soldiers ran out quickly, seeing that it was Qi Qingshan, he stood in place and saluted a military salute, turned around and entered the warehouse, and slowly pushed the two warehouse doors open to both sides.
It is a huge warehouse with a height of almost four floors, and the door of the warehouse alone is large enough for four trucks to enter and exit side by side. As the door of the warehouse slowly opened, the scene inside gradually appeared in front of Girard's eyes. What catches the eye is the neatly stacked crates, large and small, of all sizes.
Because the lights were not turned on, Girard could only use the light after the door was opened, and saw a distance of dozens of meters near the door, and it was pitch black farther behind. But even the parts that he could see were so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
Qi Qingshan didn't get out of the car, he directly hit the steering wheel, drove the car into the warehouse, turned on the lights of the car, and pointed to the neatly stacked crates on both sides as he walked:
"These are all weapons and equipment that we captured from the European theater during the war, most of which are German-made weapons, from pistols, rifles, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, mortars, etc., as well as some of the old equipment left behind when the US troops evacuated.
And that's only at our naval bases, there are other bases with storage, and from now on you will be the largest arms dealer in all of Brazil.
If these are bought, we can also ship them directly from the US military warehouse, and you can have as many as you want, and now it depends on your own sales ability. ”
Girard looked at the warehouse full of munitions, and then listened to Qi Qingshan's words beside him, and his whole brain had fallen into a state of downtime. Thinking about the original Volks' boss in order to find the source of goods, he begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother, and then looked at the fact that such a huge warehouse was now stuffed with goods, and his heart was only deeply shocked.
Maybe the boss of Vax has never sold a tenth of the arms here in his life! Thinking about the fact that he now has so many spot in his hand, instead of feeling the slightest pressure, he only felt that the whole person was a little fluttery, and his mouth began to unconsciously mutter:
"I'm going to get rich, I'm going to get rich, I'm going to get rich!"
As he spoke, he didn't forget to pick up a towel to wipe the sweat off his face.
Qi Qingshan, who was driving, glanced at the other party with slanted eyes, the corners of his mouth showed a touch of disdain, and he secretly cursed in his heart, "Turtle!" ”
However, at the same time, I have to sigh at the good fortune of this guy, you must know that after the goods are sold, one percent of the profit is the guy in front of him, from here, the other party thinks that he has made a fortune, there is no mistake.
The Willis Jeep drove in the warehouse for nearly three minutes before returning to the warehouse door, and as the warehouse door slowly closed, the two people sitting on the Willis Jeep outside the warehouse did not drive away immediately.
"Mr. Girard, I can understand your feelings at the moment. But I have to remind you that there are many people like you, and as long as the boss needs it, people who are willing to work for the boss can, from here to Rio de Janeiro.
So I hope that the boss will give you something that you can implement conscientiously, and if there is any mistake, I will not hesitate to kill you and replace you with someone else.
If you can't control your mouth and say something you shouldn't say, I'll make you regret coming into this world, you know? ”
Qi Qingshan's tone was cold, and his eyes were not kind to staring at Gilard in the passenger seat.
Girard, who was in a state of great surprise and had not yet recovered his senses, heard Qi Qingshan's words, as if he had been poured cold from beginning to end by a basin of ice water.
He wasn't because Qi Qingshan threatened him to kill him, or made him regret it, he didn't worry about these problems at all, because he never thought of betraying Fang Lang, and naturally he wasn't afraid of being killed by Fang Lang's men.
But when Qi Qingshan told him that there were many people like him, and the boss could change him at any time, it made him feel excited, yes! There are too many people like him, not to mention the others, in the gang of the Volkswagen boss who was arrested with him, there are a lot of people who can replace him at any time.
He didn't know why he was able to stand out from so many people and get this job, but he knew very well that he was definitely not the best of these people, and if he didn't perform well, he could really be replaced at any time, which gave him a huge sense of crisis.
"Sir, please rest assured, I am very grateful to His Excellency the General for giving me such an opportunity, and I swear to you in the name of my parents that I will never do anything to be sorry for His Excellency the General.
If possible, you can prepare a poison for me, and once I am caught, I will take the initiative to take the poison as soon as possible, and I will never let people implicate His Excellency the General through me. ”
Qi Qingshan glanced at this resolute-looking black buddy with some surprise when he heard this, and he couldn't be sure for a while whether what the other party said was true or false. However, since the other party took the initiative to make this request, of course he would not refuse.
In Qi Qingshan's opinion, in fact, there is no need for Fang Lang to come forward to contact this Girard in person, after all, this will lead to the possibility of implicating Fang Lang once Girard is captured. Although Fang Lang himself didn't care, Qi Qingshan still wanted to avoid this kind of wind direction as much as possible.
The main reason why Fang Lang personally arranged these people engaged in the gray industry was because Fang Lang did not have the right people to help manage this aspect of the business.
If Qi Qingshan is responsible, of course, it is no problem, but once others find Qi Qingshan's body, there is actually no difference between finding him and himself, as Fang Lang's adjutant, whether he admits it or not, anything he does directly represents Fang Lang's position.
Therefore, he simply came forward to contact these people himself.
