Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat Chapter 202

  Chapter 202 The next best thing

  Fang Lang thought that the current machine tool industry of the Germans would definitely be subject to certain restrictions, but he still wanted to come to Germany to see what level the current machine tool industry has reached.

  The most important thing is the machine tool processing industry, which actually needs professional skilled workers, just like the eighth-level fitters in China.

  His goal is actually these excellent skilled workers. As for machine tools and the like, he doesn't particularly care about them. After all, the current machine tools are far from reaching the advanced level of later generations.

   There are no high-end equipment such as unattainable five-axis CNC machine tools.

  Since the machine tool industry is restricted, it is a big deal not to consider a joint venture!

   Directly poach some excellent technical workers and excellent mechanical designers with rich experience to return to Brazil to establish their own machine tool production enterprises.

   As for the machine tools and equipment, I will go to Switzerland to have a look at that time, if not, I will go to Italy to have a look.

   Of course, Fang Lang's order is chosen according to the strength ranking of the machine tool industry in later generations. The actual situation now is that the technical strength of these countries should not be particularly different.

   "Oh! It doesn't matter, I am relatively new to the machine tool industry, so I want to visit and study in a powerful industrial country in Europe.

   I don't know, is there any problem if I visit your machine tool factory? "

   "You may need to explain this to Colonel Chatham, and then you can enter the factory accompanied by their personnel. However, if you need to recruit relevant skilled workers for the machine tool factory, I am very happy to help."

   This situation is obviously different from what Fang Lang originally thought. I didn't expect to apply to the occupying army when visiting the machine tool factory. This is really very strict management. I don't know if all the occupying forces have the same standard.

   Fortunately, I didn't ask to visit the Mauser factory. It is estimated that the control is stricter.

  Fang Lang can also understand that Mayor Jonas offered to help Fang Lang recruit skilled workers. After all, as I said just now, many machine tools have been disassembled and shipped away, so many machine tool workers will definitely lose their jobs.

   At this time, Fang Lang was able to come forward to recruit some workers, which undoubtedly gave them a way to survive.

   "Then thank Mayor Jonas, but I still want to explain to you that I only want the best skilled workers and the best mechanical engineering designers.

  If they are willing to come with me, I can promise to bring their family to live in Brazil.

   As for the number of people, let's recruit according to the standard of 50 people for each job type!

  Experienced and excellent mechanical designers also recruit about 50 people.

   How long will it take to complete the recruitment! "

  Although this will lead to the loss of a large number of industrial talents, Mayor Jonas is very distressed. However, he also understood that if they were not sent out, perhaps these people and their families risked starving to death in Germany.

   "No problem, you give me a week, and I will definitely recruit the best people for you."

   "You just said that all the machine tools in the factory have been disassembled and installed, right? I don't know if they have been dismantled or shipped away yet!"

  Fang Lang remembered his operation of acquiring an artillery factory in Japan. I wonder if he can repeat it in Germany?

   "I am not very clear about the specific situation. You may need to go to the factory to check and ask the factory personnel to find out."

  Obviously, the mayors of these places, Jonas, are also restricted and cannot intervene directly. Since this is the case, it is useless to continue looking for Jonas.

   It's better to just let him go back and recruit skilled workers for yourself.

   "Well, I will leave it to you to recruit workers. After recruiting people, you should contact Adjutant Qi, and we will arrange planes to send people back to Brazil in batches."

   Soon, the two of them settled the matter of recruiting skilled workers from the machine tool factory for Fang Lang while having breakfast.

  After sending Mayor Jonas away, Fang Lang returned to the room, and Qi Qingshan came to report:

   "Boss, that Paul bought a ticket back to Stuttgart yesterday. He is expected to return to Stuttgart this evening."

   "Oh! Find out what he did in Switzerland?"

  Since he is going back to Germany, it is obvious that the things in Switzerland are over.

   "Our people can't be sure what he did, but he didn't move around in Switzerland. Apart from staying in the hotel, he also went to the bank once and the telegraph office twice."

  Hearing Qi Qingshan's report, Fang Lang shook his head. In a foreign country, he could only simply stare at where the other party went, and there was no way to investigate what he did.

   This can't be blamed on the people under him, after all, they are not agents of the intelligence department, and there is no way to find out what the other party is doing.

   It was already in Fang Lang's expectation that the other party went to the bank. As for going to the telegraph office, he must contact the outside world, but he has no way of knowing who he contacted.

   Besides, it is impossible to know whether other people living in the hotel have contacted the outside world by phone.

   However, Fang Lang can also confirm one thing, that is, in addition to these rebels in Stuttgart now, this Paul must have other accomplices.

   What Fang Lang didn't understand very much was, shouldn't the fewer people know about this kind of thing, the better?

  What is the purpose of his contacting around like this?

   The more he thought about Fang Lang, the more he couldn't understand it.

   "I see, let our people pay attention to safety, especially pay attention to whether there is a tail behind you! Don't wait to be attacked from behind silently."

  Fang Lang was worried, whether Paul would start to clean up his tail and let himself get away.

   Don't catch Paul's tail by then, and lose two fighters himself, Fang Lang will be at a big loss.

   "Boss, what do you mean he has accomplices?"

  Qi Qingshan found himself asking an idiot question after asking the exit, and quickly said:

   "I see, boss. Also, we have done what you ordered to remind the rebels."

   "Oh! Don't let them think of us!"

  He doesn't care how his subordinates remind the other party, as long as the goal is achieved.

  It's like Mr. Deng said, whether it's a black cat or a white cat, it's a good cat if it catches mice.

   "Don't worry, we pretended to be Germans who sympathized with the rebels and wrote a note and let a child send it in.

  Our people found that they dispersed and evacuated immediately after receiving the note, and there were no French people under surveillance nearby. "

   Fang Lang smiled and said:

   "The French's sense of smell should not be so sensitive. We will continue to pay attention to them, and if we find that other people are eyeing them, we must report in time."

   "Okay, boss."

  After discussing these matters with Qi Qingshan, Fang Lang picked up the phone directly in the hotel room and called Colonel Chatham.

   "Mr. Colonel, I am Fang Lang, I hope I didn't disturb you!"

   "Haha. Don't bother, don't bother. Fang, you just came back and you want to find me for something good?"

  Hearing Colonel Chatham's cheerful laughter on the phone, it is obvious that the personnel who have been transported out in recent days have given his wine estate a chance.

   Even the depressed mood of being attacked began to improve.

   "Haha. Colonel Chatham, you are really right. I wonder if it is convenient to say it on the phone?"

  The other party encountered an attack once, Fang Lang really didn't dare to ask the other party to meet easily, he couldn't guarantee that there were no other rebels staring at the other party.

   If another attack happened because of meeting him, Colonel Chatham probably wouldn't be able to doubt himself.

   "Don't worry, no one will monitor our line. If it's something particularly important, you can also come to my office to talk."

  Fang Lang thought about it for a while and finally felt that it is better to say some things in person, and it is really inconvenient to say some things on the phone.

   "This time I'm back in Brazil, I brought you a box of Cuban cigars, I'd better bring them over to meet and chat with you! I wonder when is it convenient for you?"

   "Fang, you are my friend, it is convenient for me to see you anytime."

   "Alright then, I'll be right over."

   This time Fang Lang wants to see if he has the opportunity to repeat the operation in the Japanese artillery factory, so it is better to communicate in person.

   "Gyeongsan, pack up and arrange a car to go with me to the headquarters of the occupying army."

   After giving an order to Qi Qingshan who had been standing by his side, Fang Lang casually picked up a box of cigars he usually smoked, and went straight out to the headquarters of the French occupation forces in Stuttgart.

  The current headquarters of the French Occupation Army obviously has more guards than the original one, and the inspection is much stricter.

   Obviously, the attack on the commander at the gate of the house last time left a deep impression on these proud Frenchmen.

   Upon entering the building, Colonel Chatham's adjutant was already waiting in the lobby.

  Under the guidance of Mr. Adjutant, Fang Lang and Qi Qingshan walked into Colonel Chatham's office.

  As soon as the door of the office was pushed open, Colonel Chatham came directly to give Fang Lang a big hug.

   "Fang, nice to see you again! Come and sit down."

   This level of enthusiasm made Fang Lang very uncomfortable for a while.

   I don't know if this old boy is so enthusiastic because he knows that he will make him rich again this time.

   "Haha. I am also very happy to meet you, Colonel Chatham. I have already met you in Brazil. The first batch of talents sent there by special plane, thank you very much for your help."

   As he spoke, he handed over the cigar box.

   Chatham glanced at the sign on the cigar box and said:

   "Hey! Is this the brand Roosevelt likes?"

  Fang Lang really didn't care about this question, he could only shrug helplessly and didn't answer.

   Colonel Chatham directly opened the cigar box, glanced at it and said:

   "Yes, it is indeed it! Thank you for your gift, I like it very much. Tell me, do you have any good news to tell me this time?"

   Fang Lang smiled, and didn't say anything about the recruitment of technicians in the machine tool industry. After all, these things don't need to be too specific, as long as he pays per head.

  Don't tell the other party too clearly what kind of talent you are.

   "Mr. Colonel, I came here today mainly to ask you one thing. I heard that a lot of equipment in the Stuttgart machine tool factory has been disassembled and packaged and shipped back to France, right?"

   Colonel Chatham had no intention of concealing Fang Lang about this kind of thing, and said directly:

   "That's right, according to the content of the "Potsdam Proclamation", we want to restrict the industrial development of Germany. The government requires us to dismantle the heavy industry in the territory, and a lot of equipment has been transported away.

   Let me see, there should be a convoy coming here today to take away a batch of equipment, why? Are you interested in these devices? "
