Chapter 579: Introducing John to Business
John Clark picked up the wine glass indifferently, took the initiative to touch the wine glass in Fang Lang's hand, and said with a smile:
"It's a secret!"
After speaking, he didn't forget to raise his eyebrows at Fang Lang, with a smug expression on his face.
Seeing this, Fang Lang stretched out his leg and kicked his ass hard, gritting his teeth and saying:
"I don't care, now that I'm on your territory, if you don't make good arrangements for me, you can wait for your father to come to Japan to accompany you!"
John Clark is the first friend Fang Lang met after crossing over, the two were friends on the battlefield, and the two were recuperating in the hospital together for a long time, so they knew each other very well.
However, because the two have been separated in the past two years, and their status has changed dramatically, there are few moments of fighting together.
But at the moment when Fang Lang raised his legs, John Clark was still keenly aware of Fang Lang's movements, and he wanted to dodge as soon as he turned around, but unfortunately he lived as comfortable as the emperor in Japan, coupled with the lack of training when he left the front line, his reaction was not as good as before, and he couldn't avoid Fang Lang's Foshan shadowless feet at all.
His ass was kicked hard, although his buttocks were a little painful, but he was not angry, but came to Fang Lang's side with a smile and said:
"Good! He dared to kick me and threaten me, and then I wrote to Lilith that you asked me to arrange a Japanese girl for you, and if you didn't, you would beat me. ”
When the two were injured in the hospital, Lilith was the nurse in charge of the bed for the two, so John Clark was also very familiar with Lilith, and he and Fang Lang launched a pursuit offensive against Lilith. It's a pity that in the end, Fang Lang won the favor of the beauty.
"Yes! You wrote to Lilith that I arranged for your father to come to Japan, and it was very fair, and I agreed! ”
Fang Lang looked like he was about to die, and when he saw John Clark's eyelids jumping, he couldn't help but drum in his heart, could it be that this guy had already cleaned up Lilith?
After weighing the pros and cons, John decisively gave up the struggle, and just now he looked complacent, and immediately became a flattering villain.
"Don't! Brother, I'm kidding, how could I be this kind of villain who makes small reports! Isn't it a Japanese girl? Arrangement, immediate arrangement, guaranteed to be all young and beautiful sexy babes who have just come out to work. ”
Seeing this guy turn his face faster than a book, Fang Lang couldn't help laughing.
"Haha. That's pretty much it! Do you think I'm a bastard like you? I'm going to write to Lilith, and do you know that I've been told by your father to take a good look at what you're doing in Japan.
The reason for you to arrange a Japanese girl is to get a good understanding of your life in Japan, and I came here with a critical eye, do you understand? Be sure to criticize your decadent life in Japan. ”
John looked at Fang Lang with a smug look that I was doing an errand on an errand, and the unforgiving expression made him hate itchy, but the situation is stronger than people, although the other party can command his father! He had to continue to smile and lean towards Fang Lang with a flattering face:
"Yes...... Be...... If these Japanese do not criticize harshly, they just don't know how good we are. ”
After speaking, he didn't forget to pick up the wine glass and come to Fang Lang's side and gently clink glasses with Fang Lang, and the eyebrows on his face were also gently stirring.
Fang Lang laughed when he saw this, as if he had regained the time when the two of them were recuperating together in the hospital a few years ago. Stretched out his hand and grabbed John's shoulder, not caring at all about the strange stares of the officers around him, dragged the other party to a more secluded corner, and saw that no one around could hear the conversation between the two, so he lowered his voice and said:
"Don't say that my brother doesn't take care of you, tell me honestly, what is your right to speak in your logistics department?"
John Clark saw that Fang Lang had a smiling expression, but his eyes were very serious, and he understood that the other party was talking to him, so he also quietly observed the surroundings with his peripheral vision, and after making sure that no one was nearby, he also said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"What? Do you want to get something back from us? What do you like, though, if it's not a lot, I should be able to help you figure it out. ”
When Fang Lang heard this, the smile on his face became even brighter, he didn't expect that after listening to his words, John would think that he was going to exchange some good things from their US fleet. You must know that getting things out of the army is a matter of losing your head. But what moved him quite a lot was that the other party did not hesitate and directly expressed his willingness to take a huge risk to help him find a way.
"As far as your naval base is concerned, it is worth me to come to you, you must know that I am the majority shareholder of Shata Company, and I have a close relationship with the officials of your US General Logistics Department. What do I can't get my eye on your U.S. military?
I mean, as an officer of the Naval Logistics Service of the American Occupation Forces in Japan, do you have the right to procure logistics for your naval base. ”
"Of course I have the right to purchase logistics! How? Has your company done business in Japan? If you want to sell something to the U.S. Navy, just tell me, and I'll make it for you. ”
After John Clark heard Fang Lang's words, he patted his chest with a relaxed face and took a big bag.
Seeing this, Fang Lang smiled slightly, it seems that this old guy is a good mixer in the US occupation navy in Japan, and he still has a certain amount of real power in his hands, no wonder this guy's body has obviously gained a lot.
As officers in the logistics department of the U.S. Navy base, reselling supplies from the base and purchasing supplies from outside is their main job in itself, and it is also the source of their power and wealth. After confirming that the other party, the colonel, had this real right, Fang Lang patted the other party's shoulder and said:
"If I have something to enter your U.S. military supply system, I don't need to find your head, just how much demand you can have for this naval base.
After you get into the head of the general logistics of the US occupation forces in Japan, I will come to you about the same. ”
Fang Lang's attitude made John a little confused for a while, and looked at the good brother beside him with a puzzled expression:
"Since you don't need me, why are you asking me all this! Amuse me! ”
Hearing this, Fang Lang did not answer the other party's question immediately, but smiled mysteriously:
"Are you familiar with the head of the general logistics of your American occupation forces in Japan?"
"Oh! Of course it's familiar! You want me to introduce you to him, don't you? No problem, I'll take you to him tomorrow. ”
John didn't ask Fang Lang what he wanted to do, but without hesitation, he said that he would introduce the person in charge of general logistics he knew to him, which made the smile on Fang Lang's face even stronger.
"No need, you can know it, you are the only one in your Clark family who is still working in the army, although your father is now the executive president of the Whip of God military contracting company, but your family still has some shortcomings in the business field.
I have received some information that the United States may have to send a large army to intervene in the situation on the peninsula, and when the time comes, the demand for supplies will be very strong.
Since you are familiar with the person in charge of the general logistics of the occupation forces stationed in Japan, I suggest that your family can buy a few factories in Japan, produce some materials that are not very important, but are in high demand, and enter the list of suppliers of the US occupation forces through bidding, so that they can guarantee that they will be able to make a fortune when the time comes. ”
Fang Lang's words made John Clark stunned, as a colonel officer of the US military stationed in Japan, of course he had a certain understanding of the situation on the peninsula that was close at hand.
There was indeed a lot of tension between the Soviet-backed forces in the north and the American-backed forces in the south, and since the beginning of 1949, the two sides have been in constant conflict, with almost daily firefights, but neither of them is very large.
Therefore, he never imagined that the United States might one day intervene in a conflict on the peninsula, knowing that the peninsula borders the Soviet Union, and although the United States has always been in a state of confrontation with the Soviet Union, the main point of contention is the dominance of Europe.
Now that he suddenly heard Fang Lang tell himself that the United States might intervene in the struggle on the peninsula, he felt that it was both an accident and a little taken for granted.
"Is the message accurate?"
After pondering for a while, John Clark's expression slowly began to become serious, and his tone was seriously confirmed.
Fang Lang did not answer this question directly, but just smiled noncommittally:
"Naturally, I have my sources, and I choose to tell you because we are good brothers, and I think there is a great opportunity to make a fortune. It's up to you whether you can grasp it or not.
If you were to verify this news, I would never admit that I had spoken to you about such a topic. Do you understand what I mean? ”
John looked at Fang Lang with a casual face, and his mind began to spin rapidly, he still knew a certain amount about his brother, especially after coming out of the hospital together, this guy's legendary experience sometimes made him have to be amazed.
Without wasting too much time, John's fingers holding the wine glass pinched the glass in his hand vigorously, gritted his teeth and said:
"I believe in you! But why buy a factory in Japan? We buy directly from the United States, can't we just ship it over? ”
Seeing that the other party simply accepted his suggestion, Fang Lang smiled silently, patted the other party's arm and said:
"Are you stupid in the army, you kid is stupid, produced locally in Japan and purchased from the United States and shipped back for sale, the cost is lower over there, can't you figure it out?
You may be able to sell the first batch of goods from the United States, but someone else has found an opportunity to organize production in Japan, do you think you can still sell your second batch of goods with the current cheap labor costs in Japan? ”
John slapped his forehead in realization.
"I see, what do you think I should do? Why would you advise me to produce less important and in-demand goods?
The profits of these things are not very high! ”
Fang Lang glanced at the other party angrily before saying:
"The profits are big, and the important products are the meals on the plate of the powerful military-industrial complexes, and you still want to grab food from them, are you tired of it?"
Now John finally understood something, and looked at Fang Lang with a surprised face:
"Is this information of yours coming from these powerful military-industrial complexes?"
Fang Lang didn't expect this guy's brain circuit to be so clear, he didn't seem to care about what to sell when he was discussing what to sell, but instead cared about the source of his intelligence, obviously, he was still a little skeptical of what he said.
His own intelligence does not come from these military-industrial complexes, but from his own knowledge of the history of later generations. However, since the other party made up his own brain and attributed the source of information to these people, he would not deny it, but just smiled incomprehensibly.
"You don't care where my information comes from, just say if you're interested in joining!"
Seeing that Fang Lang did not deny his problem, John Clark felt that he already knew the truth of the matter. If ordinary people don't know what kind of industry Fang Lang has, but he John Clark is too clear, you must know that Fang Lang's global trade purchased a lot of equipment from the United States through his mother's relationship.
In addition, his father Joseph Clark, the former rear admiral of the U.S. Navy, is now working for Fang Lang, so he has his own understanding of what kind of strength Fang Lang has now.
Although he didn't know the specific situation of Fang Lang's family, he had also heard a little about the relationship between him and the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family.
Fang Lang's attitude at this time made him have his own judgment on the source of Fang Lang's news, which was really normal.
"Does that need to be said? Of course join us! Well, so be it! I immediately sent a telegram to my sister asking him to fly to Japan to take charge of the acquisition of the factory.
But what exactly does this deal with? ”
A soldier who has not been through business suddenly wants to enter the army's procurement system, and he really doesn't know where to start for a while.
"Don't look at me, as a colonel in the logistics department of the U.S. Navy, the army needs to purchase those materials externally, which are suitable for local production, don't you know yourself?"
Fang Lang saw John's gaze looking at him again, and hurriedly waved his hand to signal the other party not to ask him, he was already taking a huge risk by providing the other party with information that could make a fortune.
It would be a bit too much to teach the other party what products to produce, and if the other party really completely followed his own advice, it would be easy to say that he would make money during the war.
But what if with the end of the war, if the products are unsalable, and the factories are closed? Won't it be a great enmity when the time comes?
Therefore, Fang Lang will never do this kind of thing.
John saw Fang Lang's resolute look, he also understood the other party's attitude, and couldn't help but start to use his brain.
As a colonel officer of the Navy's logistics department, he is of course very clear about the logistics support system of the US army, which can be said to be all-encompassing, and any coffee, Coca-Cola, tobacco, alcohol, and condoms can be included in the army's procurement system.
And the consumption of these products is still very huge, but these things now have their own fixed suppliers, and it is obviously impossible to easily squeeze each other's share, at most it is to tear a hole and supply a small amount.
But many of these products are not suitable for production in Japan! Thinking about it, John's eyes suddenly lit up, and he slapped his thigh and said:
"I thought about what I was going to do, and it was the absolute lowest cost, it was in huge demand, and it could only be purchased in Japan."
