Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat Chapter 511

  Chapter 511 Gem Trade Road

  The news that Brother Eddie's anti-government forces were wiped out by the army led by the general of the navy within three days naturally reached the ears of General Nero Mora of the Air Force Department.

   Among them, what shocked him the most was naturally that Fang Lang pulled out forty bombers at one time to carry out carpet bombing on the enemy. As well as the use of transport aircraft to quickly mobilize troops in the area.

   This made him more eager to hope that his air force could form a combat capability as soon as possible, and that the formation of transport planes and bombers under his command could be formed as soon as possible.

   Upon learning of the bombing operation, the news that Fang Lang had seconded a group of students from the aviation school made him look forward to the students of the aviation school.

   He was not surprised that Fang Lang could achieve such a result. After all, when Lieutenant General Crook suddenly took the initiative to ask for a fight at the Ministry of National Defense meeting, he had already noticed something was wrong.

  Of course, the enemy that the army hadn't solved for half a year was solved by Fang Lang within three days, which still shocked him deeply.

   At the same time, this battle further strengthened his idea of ​​​​establishing an airborne force that belongs exclusively to the Air Force.

  The folks naturally got the news quickly, and the Brazil Times even gave a huge page to announce the victory of the war to the world. TV stations also made detailed reports.

   But in this report, the media company under the Fangyuan Group did not overly publicize the time comparison between the navy and the army, but just told everyone that it was the navy's Rio de Janeiro aircraft carrier battle group that achieved this great victory.

  The purpose is naturally to minimize the confrontation between the navy and the army, and avoid bringing new enemies to your boss.

   While the outside world was amazed by Fang Lang's achievements, Fang Lang himself was inspecting the town of Bittenkot, which was originally occupied by the rebels, although the main force stationed in the town at this time was the army.

  But Fang Lang, as the new frontline commander, naturally has the right to inspect these towns that were once occupied by the rebels.

  Because of being ruled by the rebels and recruiting troops here, many residents in the town are very wary of the government troops, not because they choose to stand on the same side as the rebels.

  But because their family members inevitably became part of the rebels, whether they were voluntary or coerced. Moreover, most of them died in this government operation.

  This caused the townspeople to inevitably have some hostility towards the government army.

  The Brazilian government army is not the home army of later generations, and has no willingness and responsibility to help local people resume production.

  So, the town of Bittencourt, which has experienced the war, is actually very dilapidated, and there are still a large number of bullet holes hit by shells and bullets on the houses, which have not been filled.

   There are also traces of burnt wooden houses, which have not been erased.

   It was not army officials who accompanied Fang Lang to inspect, but Fang Xinshui, the head of Hongyitang, Hongmen, Fang Lang's uncle.

   "Lang'er, why did you ask me to come to this place to investigate?

  There is not much population here! "

  Hearing the words, Fang Lang smiled and said:

   "Uncle is right, there are not many people here, but there are abundant resources here!

  Look at the dense virgin jungle here, these tall trees for thousands of years, these are real resources. "

   "Oh! Do you want our company to come here for lumber business?

   But there are a lot of forestry resources downstream, why go deep into the Amazon River and come to this humble town? "

  Fang Lang heard what his uncle said, and didn't give an answer immediately, but smiled and said:

   "Uncle, don't worry, I'm here for inspection this time. Since this place has been knocked down by us, of course we have to exert enough influence here!"

   As he spoke, he patted the door of the Willys Jeep and pointed to the dilapidated buildings around him:

  “Look at the dilapidated environment around. Most of the families here have family members who joined the rebels, and now the rebels have been wiped out by us. This has caused some estrangement between the local residents and the Brazilian government.

  If these barriers cannot be eliminated well, the residents of these two places may breed a new rebel team.

   This is what I don't want to see. "

   After Fang Xinshui heard Fang Lang's words, he frowned and said in a puzzled way:

   "Even if a new rebel team appears, it shouldn't have much impact on you! Maybe it can provide you with some new opportunities for meritorious deeds!"

   Fang Lang smiled and pointed to the Yapra River not far away:

   "Do you know where this river goes all the way up?"

   "Of course I know, it's Colombia over there."

   "Then do you know any specialties in Colombia?"

   This question obviously asked Fang Xinshui's knowledge blind spot. He glanced at his nephew sitting next to him in some puzzlement, shrugged helplessly and said:

   "I really don't know these things, but I probably understand what you mean. You want us to build a hall here and find a way to get some Colombian specialties, right?"

   Seeing his uncle react so quickly, he had to look at him with admiration. It seems that after such a long period of training, his uncle has grown very fast!

   smiled and nodded:

   "Uncle is right, Colombia is the most important emerald producing area in the world, and the mines in these producing areas are mainly concentrated in the central Andes in Colombia.

  As for the exact location of the gemstone mine, I don't know, but I know that the local mining companies, except for a few formal European and American companies, are mostly illegal mining by local people.

  Illegal mining is within the scope of the local government's crackdown, so these local gems can only be taken away at a relatively low price.

   And after these gemstones are polished, they will become expensive luxury goods sought after by European high society ladies.

  The profit gap in the middle can make people crazy. do you know what i mean? "

  Fang Xinshui looked at his nephew in shock when he heard the words, swallowed hard, and said:

   "I see, you want us, Hong Yitang, to intervene in this business as a gang?"

  Feeling his uncle's gaze, Fang Lang just smiled and nodded:

   "If it wasn't for dealing with this rebel team, I wouldn't know that there is such a big source of money hidden here."

   As he spoke, he took out an emerald gem the size of a pigeon egg from his pocket, and threw it to the uncle beside him.

  Because Willis Jeep was walking on the muddy streets of the town, the body was shaking constantly, so Fang Xinshui, who didn't notice Fang Lang's movements, almost missed the gem.

   Fortunately, his reach was not bad, and he responded in a timely manner, and he was able to catch the gem when it was about to hit the ground.

  Take the gemstone in your hand and play with it, and after carefully examining it in the sun for a while, he said in amazement:

   "This is such a beautiful little baby! I seem to remember visiting a jewelry store with your aunt in St. Paul once, and a gem that was less than a quarter of this little guy was listed for $10,000.

   I don't know how much he is worth in the mining area. "

   Fang Lang smiled and didn't speak, but stretched out a palm and shook it at his uncle.

  Fang Xinshui looked at Fang Lang in disbelief and said:

   "It's not only five hundred dollars!"

   "No, the rough stone purchase price is fifty dollars."

   "Fuck, I've done this business. When I get back, I'll start organizing people, come here to establish a stronghold, and then find a way to get into Columbia to check the situation."

  Knowing that this gem has such a high profit, Fang Xinshui said without hesitation.

   Seeing this, Fang Lang smiled slightly, shook his head and said:

   "Don't worry, if you want to build a stronghold here, there is another very important prerequisite, that is, we must have a sufficient mass base.

  Now the residents around here are not of the same mind as us. If they don't jump out and wreak havoc, I will burn my incense.

   More importantly, I don't want you to personally participate in raw ore sales, but to open a gem trading center here, recruit enough gem processing workers, and make this place a gem distribution center.

  And your Hong Yitang controls this channel by controlling the gem distribution center.

  As for the specific hard work such as gem trafficking, let others do it! "

  Fang Xinshui was playing with the emerald pigeon egg gemstone in his hand, while thinking about Fang Lang's words. Obviously, the other party didn't want to get himself into too deep, but just wanted to master the shipping channels of the gemstones.

  However, he didn't understand, if they couldn't master the raw material procurement channels of gems, why would they attract others to come here to trade gems!

   If others don't come, their gem distribution center may become a joke by then.

   Just when he was about to express his doubts, Fang Lang seemed to have expected it and said:

   "You don't have to worry about them not coming here to trade. According to the information I have learned, there are already many people here engaged in related transportation business.

  The first thing we have to do next is to immigrate here, turn this place into our territory, and build hotels and hostels here to provide them with catering services.

   Then collect information, find these gem smugglers, gather them up, and let them trade in our designated place according to our rules.

   If someone doesn't want to play according to our rules, I will arrange professionals to attack them in a targeted manner.

   This is a game where those who follow the rules prosper and those who oppose them perish. Only those who abide by the rules of the game can survive. "

  Fang Lang's words once again refreshed Fang Xinshui's cognition, is this the way to play with a powerful machine?

   "You mean to let the police take action directly?"

   "Of course, it is the duty of the police to combat illegal smuggling and other crimes, isn't it?"

  Looking at Fang Lang's natural expression, Fang Xinshui swallowed his saliva, not knowing how to comment for a while.

   "What if they just don't take our route?"

  Fang Lang looked at his uncle who was a little dumbfounded, and smiled slightly:

  “Actually, this is a simple matter of cost selection. The purpose of our gem distribution center is to purchase relatively cheap rough stones from them.

   Not trying to steal their gems.

  If they bring the gemstones to our distribution center to sell, although the sales price is lower than what they sell directly, it is absolutely safe.

  And if they want to avoid our gem distribution center, they will risk the chicken flying eggs.

   But when the risks and benefits are not proportional, smart people will make wise choices. "

  Fang Xinshui still did not understand and said:

   "But in this way, won't our profits be maximized?"

  Fang Lang smiled and took out a cigar, handed it to the uncle beside him, and said:

  “Don't focus on the interests of a single gemstone, what we want is the interests of the entire market, and what we want is scale.

   At that time, all the emeralds smuggled from Colombia into Brazil will come to us for trading, and we will get a profit from each gem. Think about it, how big a business this will be.

   More importantly, do you know how many people this business can support? "

  At this moment, Fang Xinshui finally understood what Fang Lang was thinking. After thinking about it carefully, he had to nod again in admiration.
