Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 110 Sumitomo's Copper Blowing House

  In the dark night, a convoy of more than 30 trucks parked in the devastated downtown area of ​​Osaka, in an old factory that seemed a bit out of place with the surrounding buildings.

  Compared to the large factories in Japan, this factory is so small that it can barely be called a workshop.

  So why this dilapidated factory, which obviously no longer engages in any production tasks, can still be completely preserved during Japan's rapid expansion!

  If you ask any Japanese passer-by on the street, you will get an answer.

  This is the ancestral business of the Sumitomo Foundation of Japan, "Sumitomo Copper Blowing Works", and the first copper smelting plant of the Sumitomo Foundation is here.

  Starting from this copper smelting factory, Sumitomo started to enter the metal smelting industry, and soon became the leading metal smelting enterprise in Japan.

   Then developed into the later Sumitomo Zaibatsu.

   Needless to say, this convoy is the Brazilian expeditionary force led by Fang Lang. As for why Fang Lang came to such a small ancient factory ruins?

  This has to talk about the shrewdness of these Japanese chaebols.

  Everyone in the later generations is studying the Japanese chaebol. Why can they become such a behemoth again after being split up and reorganized by the Americans, and the factory was destroyed so badly?

  Everyone has a consensus that the Japanese chaebols had hidden all their wealth before they knew that Japan was going to lose the war.

  The Americans dug three feet and couldn't find it.

   Fang Lang also confirmed this matter from Colonel Malik.

  The U.S. military did seize the assets of the consortium immediately, but found nothing.

  However, Fang Lang passed by Osaka once in later generations to experience the customs service of Osaka Custom Street, no, he made a mistake and started again, when experiencing the scenery of Osaka Scenic Street.

  I heard a story from a few Japanese drinkers sitting next to me who were drinking alone and getting drunk.

  As soon as Fang Lang came to Osaka, he quietly came to the site of the "Sumitomo Copper Blowing Works", the ancestral business of the Japanese Sumitomo Foundation, to confirm the authenticity of the news.

  Next, Fang Lang issued an order that baffled all the soldiers of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force.

   They were asked to clear all the people within 200 meters of the two streets.

  So, today is obviously the time for Fang Lang to grab the fruits of victory.

  I saw Fang Lang flashlight, and walked into the dilapidated factory ruins that didn't even lock the door.

  He came directly to a huge metal smelting furnace standing against the wall, opened a rusty iron door about two meters high and one meter wide, and walked directly into the smelting furnace.

  It looked like there were some old **** inside. Fang Lang scraped through the **** on the ground, found a cover and lifted it up directly.

  A dark hole in the ground leaked out, and the light of the flashlight shone down, revealing that it was a basement larger than the building area above.

   Walking down the basement, Fang Lang saw a neat row of copper rods stacked on the left hand side, yes copper rods. It is a copper rod made of pure copper for our common industrial use.

   On the right hand side, there are densely packed bronze vessels, and the number definitely exceeds 2,000.

   Qi Qingshan and the others who came in after Fang Lang were stunned. They didn't know the value of these bronzes, but they were shocked by the huge number.

  All kinds of shapes are different, and the objects full of copper rust are obviously more eye-catching than industrial copper materials.

  Fang Lang didn't talk nonsense, he just waved his big hand and said:

   "Move for me, move everything here, leave nothing behind."

"Yes, sir!"

  Then the soldiers of the Second Company of the Expeditionary Army began to work as porters.

  Fang Lang was on the sidelines throughout the whole process and carefully directed everyone to pack and pack.

  Put all the bronze utensils into the wooden box that had been prepared earlier, stuffed with straw, cotton wadding and the like to prevent collisions.

  If there are Chinese historians present, they will be stunned, because there are at least 500 Chinese bronzes and bronze mirrors in it.

  There are Kui Shengu from the Shang Dynasty, tiger-eating man-cannons from the Shang Dynasty, sacrifice head square statues from the late Shang Dynasty, Chime Bells from the Warring States Period, Jingji Shiyou from the mid-Western Zhou Dynasty, and Chiwen Fangding Ding from the Spring and Autumn Period, etc. All of them are national treasures of China.

  In modern society, all these cultural relics are collected in the Sumitomo family’s Izumiya Museum, and Chinese people can only watch them from a distance through glass cabinets.

   Although most of the fighters don't understand what these things are. However, since the chief attaches so much importance to it, everyone must take it seriously.

  Through the counting and statistics of the packing, it was finally confirmed that the number of bronze wares reached more than 3,200 pieces. Everyone had a clear division of labor, some were packing, some were carrying, and some were responsible for transportation.

   Finally, the transportation was completed at dawn.

  However, Fang Lang didn't stop, as if inadvertently said:

   "Don't leave the copper material to the Japanese, take it all away."

  The price of copper during this period was as high as 3,514 US dollars per ton, and the copper bars here are at least hundreds of tons, and they are worth 300,000 to 400,000 US dollars.

   This is not a small sum.

  Of course, if it's just for these copper materials, it's definitely not worth Fang Lang's effort to clear the two streets.

  According to what Fang Lang heard, these are not copper materials, but copper clad with gold.

   This is also the capital for Sumitomo’s rapid rise after the war and its rapid return to pre-war strength.

  The Sumitomo family is very smart. They store all the wealth of the family in the underground of this dilapidated ancestral property that has a history of hundreds of years.

  Everyone thinks that the Sumitomo family deliberately preserved this place to commemorate the family's first copper smelting factory.

   Even only two old men were arranged to guard here, which is basically equivalent to being undefended.

  And all Japanese know that this is the ancestral property of the Sumitomo family, and the commemorative significance is greater than the actual significance.

  All members of the Sumitomo family almost selectively forget this place, and will not mention it easily.

  This place is also not in the list of Sumitomo’s production factories. The U.S. military searched according to the company structure of Sumitomo, and there is no such factory.

  Because he is indeed no longer a factory.

   It was this humble dilapidated factory building that preserved the wealth of the Sumitomo family and provided sufficient financial support for the rapid rise of the Sumitomo family after the war.

  Unfortunately, now because of the direct intervention of Butterfly Fang Lang from later generations, all the wealth hidden by Sumitomo's family has been quietly and directly transferred.

  Actually, Sumitomo’s family had doubts about Fang Lang’s abnormal behavior, and found Colonel Malik to complain about the rampant behavior of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force.

  However, they obviously forgot their identity as a defeated country, and the defeated country has no room for bargaining.

  As a big Japanese chaebol, the U.S. government is trying every means to pursue your war crimes, and has included the current owner of the Sumitomo chaebol in the list of war criminals.

  How can you embarrass your allies for you!

  So, their complaints did not achieve the effect they wanted, but the soldiers of the Brazilian Expeditionary Army intensified.

  This allowed them to pay attention to their ancestors from a distance, and they were directly driven out of the observable range.

  Maybe this is the so-called shooting yourself in the foot!

   Seeing that the sky is already bright, although, I am not afraid that Sumitomo's house will find out.

  But there is definitely no way to hide it from the US patrol.

  And if the U.S. military discovers his behavior of eating alone, it will obviously cause Colonel Malik to have a grudge against himself.

   This is not what Fang Lang wants to see.

  So, after three considerations, Fang Lang decided to take the initiative to explain to Colonel Malik that at worst he would share the copper price with him.

  Fang Lang, who hadn't slept all night, drove directly to the US military base, and saw the refreshed Colonel Malik.

   Clearly, Colonel Malik was safe and happy.

   No longer have to worry about these equipment falling into your hands, or being found by the boss to hide Japanese assets.

  Sleeping with one hundred thousand dollars on his pillow, he really slept soundly.

  Looking at Fang Lang, whose face was full of oil, and whose spirit was obviously a little excited, he couldn't help saying strangely:

   "Fang, what's the matter, you, didn't you sleep all night? Why, worry about this batch of equipment!"

   As he spoke, he stepped forward to pat Fang Lang on the arm and said:

   "Don't worry! All the equipment will be installed on your ship before the boss's personnel arrive. You don't have to worry that the news about this factory won't spread."

   Fang Lang noticed that when Colonel Malik said this, the cold light in his eyes flashed away.

  He couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart, thinking that this old boy was going to kill him.

   But it's wrong to think about it. After all, Fang Lang and him are considered accomplices. If they really want to be investigated, they are both guilty of the same crime.

   And Fang Lang didn't feel any hostility from him.

   Then it means that the target he wants to silence is not himself, so who could it be?

   Without thinking too much, Fang Lang immediately understood his plan, and it was obvious that the workers in this factory might be in danger.

  Although this would be cruel, Fang Lang showed no mercy at all.

   This is a **** artillery factory, and the artillery produced does not know how much harm it has caused to the people of the hometown and the world, so Fang Lang can't wait to help applaud.

  However, Fang Lang came here today not because of this incident, so he said directly:

   "Marik, why should I worry about what you are doing, I have seen the situation, and the shipment should be finished early this morning.

  After the cargo is on board, our ship will depart directly. When Mr. Meng arrives tomorrow morning, no trace will be left. "

  Marik also showed a satisfied smile, and said with a pun:

   "Yeah! Nothing will stay."

   "I came here today because I have some good news to share with you. My people just discovered a batch of Japanese copper rods.

  You have just provided a batch of equipment for making cannonballs, and equipment for making cannonballs will appear immediately.

   This is really the icing on the cake! Although these copper materials have not yet found a buyer, I inquired about the current copper price and estimated that the value of this batch of goods is at least 200,000.

   Dude, we're going to get rich again. "
