Chapter 6 The Mafia
After hearing the Italians' analysis, Fang Lang finally understood why such a huge price difference occurred. It seems that he had to take advantage of the big capitalists to start entering this market on a large scale and speed up the capital accumulation.
"Brother, will I come here to come here with the goods next time I come here and I don't have to worry about whether I can sell them. But since you reminded me of this way of wealth, I will not leave you behind to make a fortune by yourself unless you harm my interests. Do you understand?" Fang Lang didn't know if the Italian would have already gone to the battlefield next time he came here. Although it was not necessary to sell the cigarettes to him, since he pointed out this way of wealth for himself, it was not Fang Lang's style of leaving him aside, so it would be better to ask clearly.
"Brother, you're good enough. You're right. I might be transferred with the troops next time you come here, but it doesn't matter. I'll take you to meet my uncle now. Next time you come to Italy, just go directly to my uncle. Believe me, no matter how much goods you bring, we will definitely be able to eat it." After that, I started packing my own stall.
Fang Lang couldn't help but admire the Italian's hot style of doing things. He looked at the watch in his hand. Although he found a big business of reselling cigarettes, Fang Lang didn't want to give up this watch. It would be better to just be generous and give a high price so that the other party could make a little profit first. When talking about the cigarette business, he would not feel that he was in debt. One code was converted into one code, so he said, "Brother, I bought this watch! You offer a price, I won't bargain."
"Haha...Brother, I will take you to know my uncle first. If our business can be negotiated, then this watch will be a gift for me to make new friends." Italians are obviously more interested in the cigarette business now, so they don't care about the value of this small watch. If you can use this watch and hand in a channel that can provide cigarettes for a long time, it will definitely be worth the money.
"It is my honor to be able to visit your uncle. My name is Fang Lang. I don't know what the man calls me." Seeing that the other party was unwilling to get too entangled with the watch, Fang Lang didn't say much. Since he had already decided to meet his uncle and maintain long-term cooperation, Fang Lang decided to tell the other party about his real name.
"Carlo Gambino, you can call me Carlo. I believe everyone will become brothers soon. I don't know if you can call you Fang." Fang Lang really wanted to tell Carlo that the Chinese name should be Lang, but if you think it would be very frivolous, so let it go.
"Of course, Carlo, I believe we will become good brothers soon. I don't know what gift I will give to visit your uncle." Fang Lang knew that Italians like to give each other gifts when they met. Since they were visiting an elder, then Fang Lang must have basic politeness.
"Fang, it seems that you understand Italians very much. My uncle likes wine, so we just need to bring a bottle of wine." Italians never mind the value of gifts, but often depends on preferences and needs. Carlo's uncle obviously does not lack gifts, so Carlo directly suggested.
Soon Fang Lang followed Carlo to his uncle's apartment. The door opened was a young man in a suit. When Carlo arrived, he enthusiastically held Carlo's hand and hugged him, and touched his cheeks.
"Haha...Carlo, why did my good brother come to visit home today?"
"Hey! Nino, long time no see, today is mainly to bring a friend over to introduce him to my uncle." After saying that, Fang Lang, who was behind him, introduced:
"This is the brother Fang Lang I know today. You can call him Fang. We want to introduce a big business to our uncle, but I don't know if he is here."
Nino looked at Fang Lang, and saw him holding a bottle of wine in his hand, and enthusiastically stretched out his right hand and said, "Hello Fang, I am Nino Gambino, Carlo's cousin, I'm very happy to know you."
Fang Lang also stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Nino: "I'm glad to meet you, Nino. I visited my home for the first time and brought a little gift. I hope you like it." He said that, and handed over the wine in his hand.
"Haha... Fang, I like your gift very much. I believe my father will also like it very much. Please come in quickly." As he said that, Fang Lang welcomed into the room. Italians like to open the gifts in person and expressed their gratitude. They felt that this was respect for the guests. This kind of etiquette was also learned by Fang Lang in modern society, and he didn't expect that there would be a chance to use it today.
Soon everyone entered the room and greeted the family one by one. In the end, only Uncle Carlo and his son, Fang Lang and Carlo were left to sit in the living room together. After listening to Carlo's introduction, Carlo's uncle Boyan Gambino was obviously very concerned about the business.
"Fang, I don't know how many cigarettes you can provide." Boyan Gambino said straight into the topic.
"Mr. Gambino, I have limited funds now, so the amount of transactions may not be large for the first time, which is about 10,000 US dollars. But in two months I can provide goods worth millions of dollars. I don't know if you can eat them." Fang Lang was very confident that he would become the captain of the Brazilian naval transport ship after he returned from the United States. At that time, the amount of cigarettes brought back by Brazil will definitely be quite amazing.
When the few people heard Fang Lang's answer, they were all shocked. They didn't expect that he could provide such a large quantity of goods. They all knew that cigarettes had a huge profit, but the other people were surprised that Fang Lang could transport such a large quantity of cigarettes.
Fang Lang didn't want to explain his identity too much, but just gave a few people a confident smile. But such a large number obviously exceeded their share of being able to eat.
"Mr. Fang, please rest assured. We can eat the first two times ourselves. If there is really such a large number in the back, please rest assured. We will use the power of our entire family and will never disappoint our partners." Boyan Gambino assured Fang Lang with firm determination.
"Mr. Gambino, I don't know what your family is?" Fang Lang found that from the beginning of entering the room, he found that the style of several people was obviously not like serious businessmen, but had a strong gangster temperament. However, according to Fang Lang, he understood that the Italian mafia during World War II was very cleaned up by Mussolini, which made Fang Lang not sure, so he tentatively said.
Looking at Fang Lang's expression, several people knew what Fang Lang was thinking, because everyone on earth knew that in addition to the army that likes to surrender, the most well-known specialty in Italy is the Mafia.
The eyes of several people were focused on the old man, Boyan Gambino. It was obvious that Nino and Carlo were asking whether to disclose it to Fang Lang, but Fang Lang was waiting for his reply.
The old man looked directly at Fang Lang's eyes and nodded gently, "We will become real brothers, aren't we?"
Fang Lang knew that the current mafia might still be the target of the Italian government, so when he saw the old man nodding instead of admitting, he understood what he meant. Fang Lang didn't mind what the other party was. The mafia's identity was nothing scary. His identity was a soldier. I believe they dare not do anything excessive to him. As for how he could support a Chinese gangster in the future! Thinking of this, Fang Lang didn't say much, stood up and stretched out his right hand and said:
"Of course I believe we will be very close brothers and it is an honor to know you, Mr. Gambino."
The old man was also very happy to hear Fang Lang's answer. He stood up, reached out and held Fang Lang's hand, gave a hug, and gave a veneer. He laughed and said, "Haha...we are already the closest brothers, aren't we?"
Carlo and Nino watched them hug each other, their tense bodies finally relaxed. They also stood up and shook hands with Fang Lang again.
