    Although Hitler was shaking with anger, it was of no use.  Because he is just a homeless man who paints people's portraits on the street. Compared with those Jews, what is he?  If someone pulls out a hair, it will be thicker than his waist.  Therefore, Hitler could only scold him, but he still had to live a hard life.  Yuri Orlov is a "damned Jew" within the scope of Hitler's denouncement.  But at this time, no one dared to say such things in front of him, not even people from the German government.  Because Yuri Orlov has something much more important in his hands than what Hitler calls grain, he can even contemptuously call the current Jewish or non-Jewish businessmen who are hoarding grain.  "Small business".  ????????????????????????????????????????????????"Small business" can also make money, so Yuri Orlov?  ?  ?  ?  Novels participate in this transaction as well.  But this is not his main business. His main business is to sell some extremely important things that are very lacking for Germany, such as rubber and rare metals.  "Mr. Orlov, Mr. Fritz has sent an invitation, inviting you to attend the cocktail party he is holding at the Royal Viking Hotel on Queen Street at 7:30 the day after tomorrow." Yuri Orlov's butler handed over an invitation.  The note was handed to him.  Yuri Orlov took the invitation, glanced at it and put it aside.  He knew this Fritz. This man was the owner of a trading company in Hamburg, but Yuri Orlov knew that behind him, there was a background of German military-industrial enterprises and the Junkers officer corps.  "Sir, the person who sent the letter is still waiting for a reply." The butler reminded.  "Ah, then tell him that I will keep the appointment on time." Yuri Orlov said. ?¡­ ?Two days later¡­ Fritz¡¯s butler Luze is now standing at the door of the Wangjia Viking Hotel to greet guests.  In late autumn, the temperature in Stockholm has dropped below freezing, which is quite cold.  But it is not a problem for people who come in and out of the Royal Viking Hotel, because they all have very warm fur clothes, and they will never freeze like the little match girl on a cold night.  The guests gradually arrived, including some Swedish iron ore owners and some Norwegian businessmen. In short, those invited by Fritz were all wealthy people.  After the war began, the Nordic countries, including Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, all remained neutral.  However, this neutral attitude is still quite different.  For example, Denmark and Norway are directly facing the navy of the British Empire. Therefore, their neutrality is quite neutral. Basically they will not be neutral while colluding with Germany. However, Sweden is different.  The coastline is all on the Baltic Sea. The navy that the Germans spent a lot of money to build is not enough to challenge the British sea power and compete for the control of the Atlantic Ocean. It has even been firmly blocked by the British in the Baltic Sea. But at least in the Baltic Sea  , they still have undisputed control of the sea.  Therefore, although Sweden is neutral, it is obviously more inclined to Germany.  During the course of the war, Sweden exported large amounts of vital iron ore to Germany every year.  At this time, a Volkswagen Lincoln sedan drove over slowly.  Stopped in front of the hotel.  A waiter hurried forward and opened the door with a white-gloved hand. Yuri Orlov slowly walked out of the car with a beautiful woman.  "Mr. Orlov, welcome. Mr. Fritz is waiting for you inside." Lutze quickly stepped forward to say hello to Yuri Orlov.  Yuri Orlov did not speak, but nodded slightly, like a housekeeper, so there was no need to pay any attention to it.  Under Luze¡¯s guidance, Yuri Orlov walked into the hotel, and soon met Fritz, who was also bringing a beautiful girl.  He was chatting with some Swedes there.  "Ah, Yuri, I haven't seen you for a while." As soon as he saw Yuri Orlov, Fritz immediately raised the wine glass in his hand to greet him.  Then he turned his head, said a few words to the Swedish businessmen next to him, and strode towards Yuri Orlov.  "How are you, how are you lately?" Yuri Orlov also asked.  "Not very good." Fritz said, "I heard that you have a large amount of rubber, some sugar, nickel and molybdenum?" "Yes, yes. But, Fritz, you know, now you have to get these  It¡¯s not easy to transport things, the risks are too high and the cost is high,¡± Yuri Orlov replied.  After hearing this, Fritz couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He knew that the rubber in the Jew's hands was not bought from foreign countries after the war started. These rubbers were hoarded in Sweden before the war broke out.  of.  This shrewd JewThe guy may have seen that the war was about to break out, so he rented a lot of warehouses in Sweden and hoarded a large amount of important supplies.  That includes a lot of rubber.  Even Fritz didn¡¯t understand the power behind the Jewish businessman.  Before renting so many warehouses and buying so many supplies at once, although this Jew was considered a good businessman, he would never be able to do such a big deal with his small business.  Yuri Orlov originally had a small bank in Weimar. Before the bubble burst in Alaska, he made a lot of money. After the bubble burst, although he also suffered some losses, he still escaped unscathed and saved money through decisiveness.  made most of the profits.  But even so, his total assets would not exceed one million Reichsmarks.  Even if all this money is invested in this project, it will not be enough.  Behind him, there is American capital, or to be more precise, McDonald's figure.  All of Yuri Orlov's rubber comes from the Panama Canal Company's rubber plantations in Panama and Colombia, his sugar comes from the North American Fruit Company's plantations in Cuba, his nickel comes from the mines in Cuba, and his molybdenum comes from  North American Mines, and crucially, his money, came from MacDonald Ventures.  So, this guy is actually an important spokesperson for McDonald.  The MacDonald Consortium accurately predicted that the war was about to break out, so they used this guy to hoard a large amount of supplies in Sweden that were bound to increase sharply once the war started, so that they could take advantage of it after the war started.  Of course, the MacDonald Consortium does not want to offend the British, because the British are their major patrons, so it is very normal to find a spokesperson to do such things.  Fritz estimated that the Jew's business as a spokesperson for Macdonald may have quadrupled his assets to four million Reichsmarks, and that was the Reichsmarks before the war began.  ¡°What a lucky guy,¡± Fritz thought to himself. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that I didn¡¯t have the chance to recognize Macdonald¡¯s people and become their spokesperson. Otherwisethese Jews are so abominable and deserve to be damned.  "So Fritz soon came to the same conclusion as Hitler. Although the starting point was different, it could be regarded as a kind of reaching the same goal through different paths.  "Haha, Yuri, I finally got a bottle of fine French wine. Do you want us to taste it together?" Fritz asked.  "Ah, thank you very much. Since the war started, this thing has been rare." Yuri Orlov knew that Fritz wanted to talk to him alone, so he replied.  "That's great," said Fritz.  "Mr. Onov, you haven't introduced me to the beautiful lady next to you yet." The woman next to Fritz asked.  "Ah, Miss Vivian, this is my friend Miss Elizabeth." Yuri Orlov introduced.  Evidently he recognized Fritz's female companion.  "What a beautiful girl." Miss Vivian said, while holding Elizabeth's hand familiarly, "Miss Elizabeth, these men have a lot of boring things to talk about. They are all like this, boring.  Great. Why don't we sit down over there for a cup of tea and let them talk about their meaningless business?" Elizabeth nodded meekly and followed Vivian to the side.  Went.  "Yuri, let's go over there and talk in detail." Fritz said.   "No, no, no" Fritz shook his head like a rattle, "Yuri, the price you gave is really too high. At this price, we might as well" "You  That's right, my friend. If it were in peacetime, this price would be a bit outrageous, but now is the time of war. Nowadays, the success rate of smuggling ships through the Denmark Strait is only a little bit, you won't.  I don¡¯t know, if one out of every ten ships can survive, it¡¯s already Jesus¡¯ appearance. So, if you want to rely on smuggling or something, even if you don¡¯t take into account the cost of ship losses, the price will be ten times higher than in normal times.  Times are also very common, and if you consider that for every ten tons you buy, nine tons will be sent to your enemy along with the ship, and you will also lose experienced sailors, then the rubber you get is even more ridiculously expensive.  "It's much more outrageous than the price I gave you now, isn't it? So the price I gave you is already a very, very conscientious price." "But Yuri, we are already good friends."  The word "good friend" is very important. Although everyone knows that in business, there are only benefits and no good friends. "Can't you give good friends some discounts?" Obviously, Yuri understood it immediately.  After listening to Fritz's words, he gently took a sip of the blood-red wine in the glass and said, "Okay, Fritz."???C, you are my good friend, and you know that I will not let my good friends suffer.  But I still have partners, and I can¡¯t dissatisfy them with the accounts, don¡¯t you think?  I wonder if this is possible. The contract price should be based on the figures I proposed. As for the actual price?  I also have a bearer certificate of deposit of one million US dollars from a Swiss bank, which can be returned to you as a profit from me.  (Yuri emphasized the word you very strongly) What do you think?  " Fritz thought for a while, then reached out and picked up the bottle of wine, and poured half a glass for himself and Yuri Orlov. Then he raised the glass to Yuri Orlov and said: "  Happy working with you, Yuri!  ¡± ¡°It¡¯s a pleasure working with you Fritz!  "Yuri Orlov also smiled and raised his glass.
