Paul glanced at Leo with a cold look without leaving a trace, and Leo felt his whole body tremble.
Thinking of the cruelty of his superior, his face turned serious and he dared not say any more nonsense.
After thinking for a while, he said:
"I remember there was a hidden hunter's cabin in the forest on the outskirts of the city, but that was when I was in junior high school. I don't know if it still exists now."
"Let's go tonight and take a look. If it's suitable, we'll go there. We can't stay in this place anymore."
Paul decided to abandon this place without hesitation.
He couldn't help but bet whether Fang Lang and his men would inform the French occupation forces of their situation.
It's not because he's timid, but because he has more important things to do.
In fact, he really wanted to investigate the identities of Fang Lang and others.
...
...
Find an opportunity to retaliate against them.
However, the prerequisite is to ensure that you complete the most important things first.
When Leo heard Paul's order, he didn't dare to say anything more and nodded quickly.
That night, the two left Leo's home under the moonlight and walked into the forest.
What they didn't notice was that there were two figures behind them, appearing and disappearing in the distance.
Fang Lang, who had just returned to the hotel, received a report from his adjutant Qi Qingshan.
I have already booked a table at the hotel restaurant and made an appointment with the Mayor of Stuttgart.
The mayor of Stuttgart, Mr. Jonas, is a handsome old man with white hair. He doesn't talk much and he is very neat.
It is understood that he is a politician born into an old-fashioned Rongke aristocratic family.
Because he disagreed with the Nazi's political ideology, he was imprisoned in a concentration camp for more than three years as a political prisoner.
After being rescued by the Allies after the Germans were defeated, he was elected mayor of Stuart.
Maybe he had seen too many deaths and deaths and suffered too much torture in the concentration camp, so his body looked very thin.
Fang Lang looked at the mayor sitting opposite him and for a moment he didn't know how to start talking.
In the past, Fang Lang habitually used money offensives to break through the enemy's defenses and make the enemy his friend.
However, looking at the old man sitting opposite him who was dressing himself meticulously, Fang Lang felt that his money offensive might not have much effect.
This is Fang Lang's intuition.
Just when Fang Lang was still hesitating about how to persuade the old man opposite to help him.
Old Mr. Jonas, who seemed to be a man of few words, spoke first.
"Mr. Fang, may I know how you will arrange for my compatriots?"
As he asked this question, a hint of vigilance flashed in Mr. Jonas's eyes.
It made Fang Lang feel like a bad guy who was going to kidnap the other person's child.
Shaking his head, Fang Lang said calmly:
"Mr. Mayor Jonas, please don't misunderstand me. Although I am a Brazilian soldier, I am here as a businessman.
I don't know if you know about Brazil, but we are an agricultural country with a very weak industrial base.
My impression is that our relations with Germany were very close until the war began.
There are also many German people living in Brazil.
I came here this time because I saw the shortcomings of our country in Brazil and I want to make up for them.
Maybe you think we are taking advantage of others' misfortune.
But please believe me, I am not a robber who comes to plunder wealth, but a businessman who comes to seek cooperation. "
Mr. Jonas in front of him had been listening to Fang Lang quietly, with no change in his expression.
During this long speech, Fang Lang stopped several times to listen to Mr. Jonas's feedback.
Unfortunately, the other party didn't say anything.
Fang Lang had no way of judging what the other person was thinking.
After a long while, Mr. Jonas finally spoke:
"I've been to Brazil, the people there are very welcoming and I like the barbecue there."
Hearing this, Fang Lang felt relieved.
It seems that Mr. Jonas is not really a dull person.
Maybe it was just some sequelae of being imprisoned in a concentration camp.
"Haha... you're right. If you like, I can invite you to go to Brazil this time and taste our barbecue again."
In order to reassure the old man, Fang Lang didn't mind letting the old man go with him to see everyone's working environment.
However, I don't think the other party will go over.
But this is an attitude that puts the other person at ease.
In fact, Fang Lang didn't need to care about the old man's thoughts at all. He could retrieve the personnel files of various companies through the identity of Colonel Chatham of the French occupation army.
Just pick the people you need according to the list and pack them up to take away.
I believe the Germans would not dare to resist.
But consider that sometimes a forced melon is not sweet.
Moreover, even though some people in some factories hold important positions, it does not mean that they are the ones who really do the job.
Of course, Fang Lang can also directly recruit employees for the various positions he needs in Stuttgart, and then set up a new company after returning to Brazil.
This method is the simplest and most direct.
However, this method cannot quickly achieve the effect that Fang Lang wants.
The ideal situation in Fang Lang’s mind is to let these factories in Germany take the initiative to form a joint venture and bring in their full set of technologies.
Go to Brazil to open a new factory.
Of course, this idea came to me only after I met old Mr. Jonas in front of me.
At first, Fang Lang's intention was very simple. He wanted to recruit some employees from the automotive industry to work at his Aston Martin factory in Brazil.
But after a tour of Stuttgart, especially when he saw the factories of the Mercedes-Benz and Porsche brands.
And a not very eye-catching factory called Bosch, Fang Lang began to have new ideas in his mind.
"There's no need to go to Brazil together, I'm too old to travel far.
And my fellow men need me.
I remember that Colonel Chatham wanted me to cooperate with you to recruit qualified technical workers. Why do you want to seek cooperation with me now? "
Fang Lang was delighted when he heard Jonas ask about the cooperation, and said calmly:
"Mr. Jonas, due to the war, most of the factories in Stuttgart are now shut down.
Moreover, no one knows how long this situation will last, right?
The reason I asked you to come here is that I have a new idea and I want to discuss it with you to see if it is feasible. "
"New ideas? Please tell me, Mr. Fang."
Jonas knew that what Fang Lang said was true, and as a German, this was also the most anxious thing for him right now.
The young man in front of him actually said that he had an idea to reverse the current situation, which made him feel a little bit excited.
“If I remember correctly, after World War I, Germany moved many of its businesses to other countries around it because of restrictions.
Also, a lot of technical research has been done in these countries.
That’s why Germany now has such a strong industrial strength, right? "
Mr. Jonas understood what Fang Lang meant before he even finished speaking. Wasn't he trying to replicate the experience after World War I?
They had this idea a long time ago, but unfortunately the Allies had already been fooled once, so how could they allow such a thing to happen again?
Jonas shook his head.
"Thank you for your honesty, Mr. Fang. I'll tell you the truth! We've tried your idea once before, but it didn't work.
Our allies are now imposing very strict restrictions on us, and many of our companies are already on their monitoring lists.
There's no way we'll be allowed to do it again.
Besides, I am tired of war and I don't want my country to be plunged into war again.
So, I’m sorry, Mr. Fang.”
I didn't expect Jonas to be an anti-war person. I don't know whether it is true or not.
Fang Lang looked Jonas up and down carefully, and judging from his expression, Fang Lang believed what he said.
But he still smiled and said:
“Mr. Mayor Jonas, I think you misunderstood.
What I want to save is not your country's military industry. Although I am a soldier, I also hate war.
I have told you before that what I want is to build a complete industrial system for Brazil.
I acquired a bankrupt car manufacturing plant in the UK. After getting involved in car manufacturing, I realized that if you want to manufacture a car, it is not enough to just build a car manufacturing plant.
Only a complete industrial system can provide perfect supporting parts for my automobile manufacturer.
I can choose to import the complete industrial system directly from the UK, but the investment required is too huge.
That's why I came to Germany, I think we need each other now, right? "
At this time, Jonas had already grasped Fang Lang's idea.
However, this is exactly what they think, but unfortunately the Allies will not allow it.
"Mr. Fang, I understand what you mean, and personally, I agree with your idea very much.
And we are also very willing to work hard to realize your ideas.
However, you have to understand that the biggest problem now is not with us, but with the Allied governments.
Our behavior will not be allowed.”
I didn't expect that old man Jonas would be so rigid and inflexible.
Fang Lang could only explain it a little more clearly.
"Why do we need the consent of the Allied government? I am here in Stuttgart to recruit skilled workers for my factory!
This is normal business practice, and we in Brazil are also a member of the alliance!
I had obtained authorization from Colonel Chatham of the French occupation army to recruit my staff in Germany.
As for how these employees came, or how I want to use them after returning to Brazil, isn’t it up to me to decide? "
The old man blinked and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
Slowly a smile began to appear on his face.
“Fang, I understand what you mean.
Can you tell me what you would like to get?"
“Of course it’s technology! I hope that your companies that want to be reborn in Brazil can share all their technologies with me.
And you have to build a complete industrial system for me in Brazil.
The minimum requirement is that all auto parts be made in Brazil.”
Fang Lang's words made old man Jonas's face look a little ugly.
Isn't this just asking for too much?
If that's the case, why should I give you a discount?
If we cooperate in this way, many countries will be willing to come forward and cooperate with us.
"Fang, isn't your request too much?
The efforts of both parties are not proportional at all, and I have no way of convincing entrepreneurs of such cooperation.”
Seeing Jonas's dissatisfied expression, Fang Lang smiled and said:
“Mr. Jonas, you have to understand Germany’s current situation.
Do you think that if I don't cooperate with you, I won't be able to get these technologies?"
