Fang Lang was relieved, but Suleiman Brom was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. As time passed, Suleiman Brom felt more and more stressed.
In the past two days, he also tried to find other support, but the final result was not ideal. First of all, he did not dare to reveal the news that he had a large amount of gold that needed to be transported out of India.
But they also wanted to find a team with enough military force to go nearly 500 kilometers into India and escort a large batch of materials to the port of Mumbai. It cannot be said that there were no companies that had the strength to take on this business, but smart people could easily find the abnormality here.
Suleiman Brom was also very cautious and did not give others the opportunity to find out his true intentions, so naturally, no agreement could be reached.
Three days later, Suleiman Brom had to bite the bullet and go to Fang Lang's home in London again. After another friendly negotiation, they agreed to follow the second plan, that is, to ship the gold to Morgan Bank, and Fang Lang would charge 34% of the freight.
After the two sides reached an agreement, Fang Lang ordered a battalion of soldiers from the Whip of God who had been assembled and on standby in Greece to take all their equipment and board a transport ship that had been on standby in Greece and set off directly to Mumbai, India.
Fang Lang himself continued to stay in the UK under the pretext of investigation, accompanying Audrey Hepburn and promoting the development of Good Luck Tobacco Company in London.
It was not until the night two days later that Yang Kun found Fang Lang with a tired face and said:
"Brother, it's done."
...
...
Fang Lang handed the other party a cup of tea with a smile on his face and said:
"Don't be in a hurry, drink and talk."
Yang Kun was obviously exhausted. After hearing Fang Lang's words, he grabbed the water cup on the table, raised his head and drank it in one gulp. He wiped the tea that overflowed from the corner of his mouth, burped with satisfaction, and then lowered his voice and said:
"I found a bankrupt businessman who lost his job in the war in the job market. His name is Mariano Bryan. He has three children to support. His wife lost a leg in the German bombing. His family is bankrupt. He is willing to do anything as long as he is paid.
I registered a Brian Trading Company in London in his name and appointed him as the general manager of the company. Now the office and other facilities are fully equipped and the company is ready to operate at any time. "
Hearing this, Fang Lang nodded with satisfaction. He doesn’t know your true identity, right?
“I don’t know. I told him that I was an investor from Portugal, and if he could lead the company to achieve sufficient results, I could make him a partner in the future.
He was very grateful to have a job and did not have any doubts about my operation.”
Looking at Yang Kun's pure white appearance, Fang Lang believed that the other party would not doubt the relationship between this company and the Chinese!
He smiled and patted Yang Kun on the shoulder and said:
"Then let him continue to recruit people and make this company run normally. After the company is running, let him go to India, Australia and Hong Kong to open branches.
I have had several similar shell trading companies registered in Italy and France. It is not yet time for these companies to come into play.
But soon there will be a batch of cheap cotton and grain ready to be sold in Mumbai, India. You should arrange for Mariano Bryan to go to Mumbai as soon as possible to open a branch.
When the grain and cotton arrive in Bombay, let him find a way to consume the goods and then ship them to Hong Kong."
Yang Kun was not clear about Fang Lang's plan. He didn't understand why he had to find some companies that had no connection with his family and go to Hong Kong to do business. He looked at Fang Lang with a puzzled look.
"I still don't quite understand what this means. Why do we have to sell goods to Hong Kong through the identities of these outsiders? Our immigration service company already has a huge influence in Hong Kong, and the sales of penicillin are also very ideal.
We can definitely set up our own branch in Hong Kong!"
Fang Lang didn't know how to answer Yang Kun's question for a moment. After all, no one was a prophet like him, and it was impossible for them to know that the Peninsula War would break out three years later.
It was impossible for him to imagine that the US-led coalition would impose a blockade on his hometown, and even Hong Kong became a blockaded place. This time he finally had a chance to come to the UK, and he must take the opportunity to make arrangements here in advance.
So that when things actually happen in the future, we will not be caught off guard. We can set up some shell companies now and then smuggle the materials needed in our hometown into Hong Kong directly in the name of these companies, and then use the power of the Hongmen in Hong Kong to smuggle these scarce materials into our hometown.
Even if the Americans want to sanction these companies, it will not have any impact on Fang Lang. Anyway, these companies have no relationship with his Global Group and Brazil's Fangyuan Group.
With a few more companies like this, Fang Lang would be able to make the American blockade a joke. After all, these companies are European and American companies, and the smuggling is also done by Europeans and Americans themselves, and has nothing to do with anyone else.
The reason why Fang Lang started planning so early was to make these companies have a certain level of strength as soon as possible. At least by the time the war breaks out, two ships must be available so that the goods will not be unable to be transported smoothly into Hong Kong due to lack of transportation.
In response to Yang Kun's question, Fang Lang just smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said:
"All of this is being planned ahead of time. When the time is right, you will naturally understand why. In short, you must remember not to let anyone discover your true identity.
I will let the group's investigation department take over the operation of these companies. After you finish handling the initial matters, you don't have to worry about it anymore. Do you understand?"
When Yang Kun heard that these companies were going to be handed over to the Investigation Department of Fangyuan Group for operation, he vaguely understood what was going on.
He didn't ask any more questions and nodded.
"Then I'll see if I can set up two more companies while I still have time in the UK."
Hearing this, Fang Lang smiled and patted his shoulder with satisfaction. He had to say that his cousin was also a smart man.
Fang Lang planned to stay in the UK for a week. Now the time has long come, but because the fleet is still drifting on the sea, he is not in a hurry to set off.
However, the soldiers of the Navy Special Tactics Research Team who were transferred from Brazil by him have already flown to India in batches to carry out their mission.
This mission is not an ordinary direct combat mission, but rather has some meaning of infiltration and subversive action.
After communicating with Vivian, Fang Lang took Audrey Hepburn to Paris, France the next day and let Audrey Hepburn visit Fang Lang's second wife Vivian.
Of course, Fang Lang also fulfilled his promise to Vivian and went to France to accompany her on a short self-driving tour.
Vivian was very generous about Fang Lang suddenly bringing back a new girl, which made Fang Lang feel relieved.
Time passed by unknowingly, and there was a rare brief calm in the Indian Ocean in August. A mixed cargo ship was sailing slowly in the Indian Ocean.
On the observation tower of the cargo ship, several crew members were searching the sky with telescopes. After an unknown amount of time, one of the crew members suddenly pointed his finger at the distant sky and shouted.
"Here they come, here they come, five planes from the northwest!"
Following the crew's shouts, several crew members quickly ran out of the cabin, walked out of the bridge, raised their telescopes and looked up at the sky.
Five small black dots were seen passing through the clouds and slowly approaching the ship.
The captain-looking bearded white man quickly turned his head towards the cabin and said:
"Call on the radio right now and confirm if it's the boss and his friends?"
The communicator in the bridge quickly turned on the radio and started calling.
"Deep Blue One calling the King, please reply!"
After a few slightly noisy electrical sounds, a voice came from the radio.
"King, please speak, Deep Blue One."
"Five aircraft appeared in the sky about ten nautical miles above Deep Blue One 295 direction. Please confirm whether it is the King's Formation?"
The ship's communicator began to ask questions very professionally. At that time, the aircraft positioning method was not advanced, and this kind of radio communication was a relatively common method.
"King, received. This is confirmed to be the King's formation. My fleet has determined the position of Deep Blue One and is now approaching. Please prepare to welcome Deep Blue One."
"Deep Blue One received! Deep Blue One is ready to welcome, the King's formation can land at any time."
After saying that, he hung up the radio and shouted loudly to the outside of the bridge:
"Captain, we have confirmed that the enemy is the King's Fleet and is preparing to land. Order our ship to be ready to welcome them."
The bearded white captain was overjoyed when he heard this, and shouted to the crew around him:
"Everyone get ready, the boss is here, lower the boat, we're going to take the boss home."
Then there was a cheer from the boat.
The crew began to work actively. Two transport boats on both sides of the ship were hoisted down from the side of the ship.
The plane in the distant sky began to slowly lower its altitude and slowly flew past the ship. The crew could clearly see the Brazilian Navy logo on the plane.
This made all the crew members extremely excited. They leaned against the side of the ship and waved vigorously in the direction of the plane. The pilot of the plane also saw the situation on the ship clearly.
After both sides confirmed each other's identities within visual range, the five seaplanes began to land slowly and orderly on the calm sea.
After the plane came to a complete stop, the two transport boats lowered from the ships quickly approached and picked up the passengers on the seaplane.
To be honest, this flight was a bit risky. The Indian Ocean was already in its storm season in August, and it was somewhat difficult to meet a transport ship on the sea by seaplane.
But precisely because of this, Fang Lang's whereabouts became more covert.
Everyone who got off the ship was in casual clothes, but the equipment they were wearing was very advanced. Under the protection of a group of guard company soldiers, Fang Lang took a transport boat to the bottom of the transport ship and climbed onto the ship using the rope ladder on the side of the ship.
After boarding the ship, Fang Lang immediately saw the bearded white captain who was waiting by the side of the ship. When the captain saw Fang Lang, he quickly stepped forward and saluted:
“Hello, Boss!”
Fang Lang returned the military salute with a smile on his face, then stepped forward, stretched out his hand and shook the other person's hand and said:
"Captain Amar Snyder, long time no see. I didn't expect to have the opportunity to ride on your ship this time."
Captain Amar Snyder is one of the earliest Italian captains who started his career with Fang Lang. He has worked diligently in Global Shipping in recent years and has grown along with the company. He has trained no less than ten new captains.
His family has also immigrated to Brazil with Fang Lang and he is one of the captains Fang Lang can trust.
This time, time was tight and the mission was heavy, so Fang Lang could only randomly choose his company's transport ship that was closest to the Indian route. It just so happened that the ship led by this captain was the closest cargo ship to India.
After learning the captain's identity, Fang Lang chose to follow the freighter to India without hesitation. Of course, he was just taking a ride on the ship and sneaking into India secretly.
The ship was fully loaded with cargo and was not suitable for transporting spoils of war. The ship responsible for transporting spoils of war would take two days to arrive at the agreed location.
"It is our honor to transport the boss. Please come this way. We have prepared a place for you and your soldiers to rest."
To be honest, ocean voyages are a very boring and tedious thing. All the crew members on the ship feel very excited to be able to join new members during the voyage.
What's more, the person coming on board this time is the big boss of the company, so of course all the crew members on board want to perform well, so as early as a week ago, when they heard that the boss was going to board the ship halfway, everyone had already started to clean up the ship.
It would be a lie for Fang Lang to say he wasn't tired after the long flight. He did not refuse Captain Amar Snyder's suggestion and chose to accept it with pleasure.
"I hope it does not cause any inconvenience to you and your crew!"
Captain Amar Snyder laughed when he heard Fang Lang's words:
"Of course not. The crew members were so happy when they heard that the boss was coming on board! Everyone was very serious about keeping the ship clean and they were working with a lot more energy."
Hearing this, Fang Lang laughed, not caring whether what the other party said was true or not.
He patted the other person's arm calmly and said:
"This time we boarded the ship as a secret operation. It's okay for everyone to be happy, but please don't tell anyone.
If the news gets out, I won’t forgive you.”
Although Fang Lang's tone was not harsh, Amar Snyder knew the seriousness of the matter. His expression quickly became serious, and he nodded seriously at Fang Lang and said:
"Boss, rest assured. I have already made it clear to all the crew members. If that brat lets this matter slip, I will sink him into the sea.
Although the crew members look careless, they are all people who know the rules. It is not easy to find a job nowadays, and the salary of ocean-going crew members in global shipping is not low.
Everyone cherishes this job and no one dares to joke about it."
Fang Lang smiled and nodded when he heard this. In fact, he was not afraid that these people would let the cat out of the bag. After all, they didn't know the purpose of his trip.
Even if they tell others, no one will know what they did.
What really needs to be kept secret is the members of the fleet that came to pick them up. The reason why Fang Lang had to wait for so many days before coming here was to wait for the transport ship that came to pick them up.
This transport ship was transferred from Guangzhou to an immigration company. Most of the crew members on board were from the Chinese village in Brazil. Fang Lang was very confident about their loyalty.
Fang Lang, accompanied by Captain Amar Snyder, walked towards the ship's cabin and asked:
"At our current speed, when will we be able to reach India?"
