Chapter 118 The Broker

All the inspections were completed, Fisher was still there, and the assistants left one by one, leaving him alone in the laboratory. After a long time, he stood up and walked outside, holding half of the metal tungsten left.

"Mr. Fisher, how are you?" Hubby waited a little anxiously, looked at Fisher with a solemn look and asked in a hurry.

Fisher looked at Habi carefully and asked, "Habi, please forgive me for asking, where did you get these metals!"

Hubby nodded and said, "These tungsten are commodities from our chamber of commerce."

Fisher raised his eyebrows. He had never thought of such an answer. He was stunned for a while before asking: "It's a commodity, does that mean that there is a lot of this thing!"

Hubby nodded and said honestly: "It's a lot, about five or six cubic meters."

Five or six cubic meters, the professor was shocked suddenly, as if an electric current suddenly passed and jumped violently. This was not ordinary steel. Five or six cubic meters of steel were only twenty or thirty tons, very pure tungsten sand, five or six cubic meters were hundreds of tons. This number was even a famous professor in the smelting department. Even when such a powerful chamber of commerce emerged from Germany, he realized that he could not sprinkle so much without such great confidence.

"So Mr. Habi, do you have a buyer?" Fisher said with a hint of excitement in his heart.

"Not yet!" Hubby replied.

"I'll introduce you to a buyer."

"This is great, just..." Hubby hesitated and said, "I have a condition."

Fisher was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the Habi in front of him was not a rich man or a Jew who knew nothing about industry. He was very outstanding in business and had always had the metaphor of vampires, but in technology, they were not weak. The Jews who value learning were important, but the entire German technology community was an important force in the circle of Habi. He should know the importance of tungsten. This kind of material is considered strategic metal and he has no worries about selling it.

Fisher measured that on the one hand, he was the deputy director of the Department of Metallurgy of the University of Berlin. His current subject is responsible for the research of a batch of heavy artillery barrels, tungsten alloys. It is an important technology of Krupp. It not only reduces the entire barrel volume a lot, but also has excellent performance in all aspects such as the quality of the entire gun, range, and wear performance. Once it is used above the heavy artillery, the performance indicators of heavy artillery are far higher than before.

The military industry has always only required performance, not price. Facing an alloy with extremely high performance indicators, even if it is a high price, both enterprises and researchers have devoted themselves to it without hesitation. Unfortunately, even though Fisher is a major metallurgical expert in Germany, the amount of tungsten alloys provided to him is still limited every semester, which has forced his research to stagnate.

Tungsten has excellent performance. The output of tungsten is not much higher. Germany has started importing tungsten from China more than ten years ago. During this period, due to the emergence of tungsten alloys, the import volume has been increased. A large number of black stones traveled across the ocean and turned into tungsten powder in the smelting workshop. There are too many steps required and the funds consumed. Because of the imperfect extraction, a lot of tungsten was wasted. For every ton of tungsten purification, the electricity, energy, labor, and even wealth consumed is enough to make tungsten become a sky-high price. Tungsten is also a rare precious metal with a purified value of about ten thousand times that of ore powder, and it is priceless.

Fisher knew that Habi's request would be more difficult, but his desire suppressed this idea. As long as he completed the task of matching, he thought that if the other party who got a hundred tons of tungsten would leak a ton and a half tons for him. This represents a hundred times, or even a thousand times, tungsten alloy. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Tell me, see if I can do it!"

Since he mentioned it, Habi simply asked straight to the point: "Professor Fisher must have heard of why I came here."

Why, Fisher hesitated for a while and focused on academics, but heard that Hubby was spending money in various universities. After thinking about it carefully, he thought about some rumors about Hubby, and tried to ask: "Is it for school?"

"Yes, you also know that my company is in China. This batch of tungsten and many other products are all thanks to our partners in China. This time they came here, they only made such a request and arranged a group of international students in Germany!"

"How many people?" Fisher really didn't ask about this carefully. He only knew that he spent 250,000 yuan at Hamburg University and inserted five students, including two in the Metallurgy Department. As his deputy director, it was fine to arrange three or five students, so he asked casually.

"250, but now, 50 have already got a place!"

"There are 200 left?" Fisher's words seemed to stammer, his eyes were a little dull. He knew that Habi was arranged to arrange some international students. If there were three or five international students, with his ability, it would be OK, but the number was a bit large, 200, and it must be an engineering school. Germany's scientific view is very rigorous and has not reached a certain level. He would not want to go to school. If he wanted to solve a few, he could still suppress 200. Even if he had great skills, he would not be able to do it, and even their principal would not be able to do it.

Seeing Fisher's expression, Hubby was shocked. It seemed that he thought things too simple. To solve the problem of students going to school, relying solely on a department chair or even the principal of the school could not solve it. Unless he had the capital to bribe one or several universities, the money was astronomical. The income of tungsten, including those handicrafts, needed to support 250 students to go to school, and also needed to purchase a large number of machines in Germany. It would be easy to say that a few million was more than tens of millions, which was extremely difficult.

Hubby didn't sit for Fisher anymore and said goodbye. Fisher looked at the tungsten powder in his hand and his expression changed. Finally, he sighed and his back looked a little hunched.

Dragging his tired body, I returned to the hotel where I stayed. There were still some trivial things at home. It was not easy to move. My wife was cleaning up at home. After a while, she would come over to the United States with him. When I returned to China in the United States, it was equivalent to traveling through the entire earth in a few months. Before the era of power, it was something that I could not imagine. But now, as long as I sailed continuously, it would be two or three months. If the sea was turned by land, it would be less time. Traveling around the earth for 80 days was a long time ago. In this era, the command would be faster.

When he opened the hotel door, Hubi found someone waiting for him, which seemed familiar from afar. When he saw Hubi pushing the door in, he came up enthusiastically and said, "Hi, Habi!"

Only then did Hubby notice this person. He knew John, the old man, was also a Jew. He was quite famous in the Hamburg circle. He started as an ordinary broker and later became the leader of this industry. He controlled hundreds of brokers of all kinds, and even Butters first followed him.

In the past, Hubby knew him only a few times. At that time, Old John's status was not right. Hubby, an inconspicuous little businessman, looked at him twice, but he didn't expect that he would be waiting for him here.

"John, how are you lately? I'm so happy to see you." Hubby enthusiastically gave Old John a hug.

"Habby, I heard that you went to China, how is the piano sold?" As a business broker, Old John's message was very good. You can say it without hesitation. Habby bought a piano and went to the Far East, and almost made a lot of jokes in the circle. Some of them were more real, and even went to the Far East specifically to inquire about what happened to Habby, and they all felt that maybe Habby wouldn't be able to come back.

However, in recent times, the most widely circulated in the circle is that Habi not only came back, but also brought back a large ship of Chinese goods beyond everyone's imagination, with very good quality. While shocking everyone, he also coveted this batch of goods. Old John is also one of them. After a few days of observation, Old John decided to take the initiative and waited for Habi's return in the hotel.

"Don't mention it, the piano has been thrown in the Far East. I'm bringing the company's goods back this time."

Old John did not mention these goods on piano matters. "I know, I heard that October issue is really a huge ocean freighter. How about it? How is the things released? Can you give me some?"

"Of course!" Hubby was not pretentious either. He knew John's strength and took out a list, which recorded almost all the goods except those sold, and asked John to choose.

Old John was very satisfied and outlined it casually on the stock list. Soon, he selected 3 million goods, most of which were silk and tea, and a small part of porcelain. As for the official kiln porcelain and Shu brocade, Habi did not put it in the product catalog for the time being.

3 million is definitely a big number in Germany at present. From this, we can also see the energy of Old John. The network he touched almost includes brokers of all sizes. With such a person in the world, he is already well connected with other big companies.

Both sides were satisfied. Old John was about to say goodbye, but Harby suddenly remembered that he had not solved the problem that he had found Professor Fisher before. He heard that Old John had a very wild path and had a very close relationship with many military-industrial groups. After hesitating, he asked: "Old John, there is another business. I wonder if you are interested in doing it?"
