Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat - Chapter 307
Chapter 307 Open and honest
After hearing what Vaux said, Staffan Capello jumped up from his seat again,
His eyes widened, and he said sternly:
“What do you mean? Look down on me?”
Vox is also a character who got mixed up with the gang boss, he still has some brains.
After staring at Staffan Capello’s expression seriously for a while, he sighed and said:
“Alas! Alright! It seems that you really can’t afford so many goods.
Let’s be honest, how much can you produce? “
Vox’s words made Staffan Capello very ugly.
He didn’t expect Vox’s appetite to be so big, the garrison in Recife only had one regiment,
Staffan Capello, the staff officer, can also be regarded as the confidant of the chief of staff of the regiment. After learning that Vox wanted to see him in the afternoon.
He guessed Vaux’s purpose.
And took the initiative to report to the chief of staff.
The chief of staff heard that there was an opportunity to earn extra money, of course he would not refuse.
Tell Staffan Capello on the spot, let him come forward to talk with Vaux, and everyone will share the profits.
Of course, 70% belong to the chief of staff.
Ke Staffan Capello did not expect Vox to have such a big appetite. If the equipment of a battalion is really sold out,
The garrison must have one-third of the people with empty hands.
There is no need to ask for instructions. Staffan Capello knows that this is impossible.
Even if the chief of staff dared to agree, he would not dare to agree. After all, he was the one who negotiated the deal, and it was really discovered.
It must be him who is responsible for taking the blame, this is a matter of losing his head.
At first, I thought that if Vox asked me, I could easily handle the other party and make a lot of money.
But the current situation made him feel a bit in a dilemma for a while.
But he is an adult after all. Now that Vaux has seen through him, he just blushed a bit.
Quickly returned to normal, coughed twice to demonstrate his embarrassment, then sat down slowly and said:
“We don’t have what you want?”
Now it’s Vaux’s turn to explode, what do you mean, just now he was acting awesome in front of him.
Ask yourself how much you want.
Now telling himself he has no stock.
Isn’t this playing tricks on him?
The gang boss who was Vox is a gangster for nothing! Are you grumpy?
He slapped the table and stood up straight away, staring at Staffan Capello with wide eyes and cursing:
“You **** kidding me!”
Staffan Capello was taken aback by the sound of Vaux slapping the table. He didn’t expect that this guy would dare to lose his temper at himself when he begged his door.
After all, he was also a soldier, and he couldn’t stand being patted on the table by a gangster at his home.
also stood up directly and stared at the other party, about to curse back.
These are the two women talking and laughing in the kitchen, and they have heard the movement in the room.
Put down their work one after another, and pushed open the door of the study.
Mrs. Vaux was also speechless when she saw her husband’s expression of wanting to eat people.
Hastily stepped forward to hold Vaux, and whispered:
“Didn’t you say you came to ask for help? Why did you quarrel with someone.
This time, my father got the chance to take advantage of his old face. If you screw up, my father will be ashamed to see others. “
After speaking, he turned to Staffan Capello to apologize again and again:
“Staffan Capello is really sorry, Vox’s temper is too bad, I caused you trouble today.
It really doesn’t work, let’s go back today.
We will come to apologize next time when we find time. “
Obviously thought that Staffan Capello was unwilling to help, so Vox lost his temper.
Capello’s wife also took Capello to comfort him softly, and repeatedly warned Staffan Capello that the opposite side was a guest.
Do not conflict with guests at home.
The intervention of the two women made the men calm down a little.
Staffan Capello has already reported the meeting today to the higher authorities. If there is no gain, he will not be able to explain it to the higher authorities.
Thinking that what he just said might have misunderstood the other party.
Looking at the two women in the room, he patted his wife’s hand and said:
“We’re fine, you guys go out first!
I’m talking to Vox. “
Vox heard what his wife said, and felt that it was inappropriate for him to lose his temper in someone else’s house.
It is not an attitude of asking for help.
Since the other party said that they would continue to chat, of course I have to see if there is still a chance.
Staffan Capello asked his family to go out, he is very clear,
These things are obviously not suitable for women to participate in.
Patted his wife’s hand and said:
“You go out first! Don’t worry, I know it well.”
The two women looked at each other, then at the two men, and after confirming that they would not fight, they exited the study and closed the door gently.
After seeing the two women going out, Staffan Capello was the first to speak:
“I mean, our garrison only has German weapons.
Your list is full of American equipment, which we cannot provide. “
Upon hearing this, Vaux patted his forehead, smiled awkwardly and politely at Staffan Capello and said:
“Oops! Sorry!
I was too impulsive to understand what you meant.
My fault, my fault. “
On this point, Vox believes that Staffan Capello is not lying, because this is indeed the reality of the Brazilian army.
Now, the troops equipped with American weapons are all the troops of the former Brazilian Expeditionary Force, which participated in the European War.
The garrison stationed in Brazil is still equipped with the original Mauser 98K that Brazil purchased from Germany before the war started.
Of course, with the end of the war, the expeditionary force also seized more German weapons from Europe.
Combined with the American equipment supported by the United States, the equipment of the Brazilian army is indeed not uniform now.
Staffan Capello saw Vox’s expression and knew that the misunderstanding had been resolved.
smiled and shook his head, pointed to the seat and said:
“Let’s sit down and talk!
Now that the words have been spoken, I no longer hide them.
You want arms, I can get them for you, but only German weapons.
To be honest, we also want American weapons, but unfortunately we don’t have them. Only the main force can equip them.
In addition, we are only a garrison regiment, and there are only a hundred guns that can be transferred from the armory.
We really can’t provide such a large quantity you want.
If I really get you so much ammunition, I will be shot when I turn around. “
Vox listened to what Staffan Capello said, and also understood what the other party meant.
This can be regarded as being open and honest, and treating each other frankly.
What the other party said is obviously the reality.
This is really troublesome, a hundred or so guns plus my own inventory is obviously not enough!
As for whether it is American or not, he can’t care so much anymore.
As long as the goods are available and delivered to the customer in time, he has completed the business. Even if the customer cannot accept the wrong goods afterwards, he can find a way to remedy it.
Since the other party has confessed the situation to him, Vox can’t hide it, and said directly:
“Brother Capello, in fact, we have already prepared all the weapons in this list.
But during the transportation, something went wrong.
Caused the cargo to be seized by the Navy.
Although a new source of goods has been found, it will take at least a week to ship to Recife.
The reason why I came here to trouble you is because I have to deliver the goods to the customer within the agreed delivery time.
Time is tight and tasks are heavy, and I am in a hurry and have no choice but to ask you.
But now you can only provide a hundred guns, which is nothing but a drop in the bucket. It can’t solve the problem at all! “
The candid attitude of both parties made everyone feel a lot more comfortable.
It turns out that each has its own difficulties, and we really need to be considerate of each other.
Staffan Capello also expressed deep sympathy for Vaux’s situation, and said a little helplessly:
“Are you soldiers, since the goods have been seized, please explain to them!
The other party should be able to understand! “
Vox is not good at telling Staffan Capello the particularity of this order,
He could only helplessly shook his head and said:
“Alas! Although we are not soldiers, sometimes there are some orders, and there can be no problems.
If we fail, we will die too. “
Both of them sighed, obviously this business might fail.
“Then there is no way, our equipment is all German weapons, and there is really no way to meet your requirements.
It seems that I can’t do this business.
I suggest you find a solution to the navy that seized the cargo.
Logically speaking, this is not their scope of responsibility! Why would they seize your goods? “
Staffan Capello is indeed a little disappointed at the moment. It seems that he should not have reported it so early, as the chief of staff reported.
Now that the business is in ruins, I might be reprimanded when I go back.
At this time, I need a cigarette to refresh myself. I picked up the cigarette on the table again, took out one, and threw it to Vaux.
He looked again at the cigarette that fell to the ground just after he lit it.
After thinking about it, there are still customers sitting opposite!
It is really not suitable to pick it up and continue to smoke, so I can only draw another one for myself and light it.
Vox was also very distressed. He took the cigarette and lit it. He took a big puff to calm his emotions, and then said slowly:
“I don’t care if it’s a German weapon or not. At worst, I will deliver the goods to others first. If others have opinions, we will explain the situation and refund some of the purchase price!”
This is better than not giving anyone a single hair when the time comes!
When I said why I was detained, I wanted to scold my mother.
It was also bad luck. The ship we were responsible for transporting directly broke into the route of the navy.
Of course they have to check.
How dare our ship be inspected! As a result, it was delivered to the door.
It’s not that I haven’t thought about looking for a way out of their navy, but I have no way out of Natal Naval Base!
Brother Capello, is there anyone in the army who knows the Natal Navy? “
As an army garrison, Staffan Capello doesn’t know anyone from the Natal Navy.
But when Vaux said that German weapons had nothing to do with it, Staffan Capello was moved in his heart.
He is the staff officer of the regiment headquarters, and he is a soldier with a brain.
After hearing Vox’s words, an idea began to form in his mind.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he felt. This might not only make money, but also promote him.
Thinking of the excitement, Staffan Capello slapped his thigh, stood up and said:
“Vox, you just said that you have found the source of the American machinery on the list, but it is too late, right?”
Looking at the excited Staffan Capello on the opposite side, Vaux didn’t react for a while.
Nodding mechanically, he said in doubt:
“Yes! What’s wrong?”
Received an affirmative answer, Staffan Capello laughed out loud, slapped his hands and shouted:
“Haha. That’s fine.”
Vox has a puzzled look on his face, it’s this time, I’m dying of anxiety, and you’re still gloating here.
I saw you telling the truth to me just now, and I thought you were a good person, and I could make friends with you.
If you can survive this test, I will find you to buy some arms in the future, and let you make a small fortune along with it.
But you are still laughing at Lao Tzu here at this time, this is driving me crazy!
