Chapter 182: Homecoming

When Deco got home, it was the middle of the night, but Carlos Sr., Julio, Deco, and even Deco's wife, Elise, and Julio's wife, Bessie, were all waiting in the living room. This had never happened before, and of course Quentin and Gomez and all the kids had gone to bed, after all, it was late.

"Father!" Deco gave his father a salute as soon as he entered the door, and he hadn't seen him for more than two months, and the old man in front of Deco seemed to be older.

You don't get old because you're worried about yourself, do you? Deco quickly put aside this unrealistic fantasy, and it was the old man's eldest son Figo who was worth worrying about, or Julio, the eldest son who inherited the family property. As for his second son, he doesn't rely on both sides, and he doesn't please up and down. Since he was sensible, his father did not have much affection for him other than indifference and majesty.

"It's back!" The old man nodded.

But Fei Ge couldn't hide his words, and said directly: "Second brother, how is the Northeast?" ”

The boss Julio is obviously more able to treat people, first took Deco's luggage, and then his wife Bessie brought a cup of coffee, and after Deco's breathing was even, Julio said: "Can the journey be smooth?" ”

"Not bad, if not a long journey. Of course, because there was good wine on board, I was drunk and dreamed of death all the way, so it was not too difficult. ”

Figo laughed, for the first time he felt that his second brother was quite humorous, and suddenly he was stunned, and then he realized that the second brother was different from before.

Deco then opened his backpack and pulled out a cardboard box.

"Here are some of the photos I took in Northeast China, and as for some tropical styles, they were taken when I passed through five provinces in Northeast Southeast Asia, which are still in the initial state, and of course they are still stronger than ours."

The few people who took the stack of photos were immediately surprised. First of all, because these photos are in color, in fact, because the fixing of the prosperity of the Northeast deeply shocked all the people present.

"Is that the case in the Northeast?" Figo couldn't believe it, having been to his native Portugal, he thought that the land of East Asia was nothing more than an uncivilized wilderness.

"I've been to almost all the big cities like that, and of course, they all have their own characteristics. I haven't been to Shengjing, Anshan, Dalian, Jinzhou, Yingkou, and the northern provinces and cities of Fengtian, but it's not too much to think about. ”

"I didn't expect the penetration rate of electric lights to be so high!" Julio sighed slightly. In Mozambique, only Maputo has such a scene, and other cities cannot do it for the time being.

"The Northeast is far more advanced than that, this is the tram they are developing, which is used to solve the problem of public transportation in big cities. There are also a variety of appliances, including a washing machine with electricity to wash clothes. ”

"I'd rather have my maid do my laundry." At this point, the elder Carlos appeared a little stubborn. He may be open-minded enough to accept the rule of the Northeast aside, but that doesn't mean he's willing to change his lifestyle. Although there is no return now, many things have changed.

Deco smiled and didn't speak, in fact, he didn't have much to talk about with his father, to put it mildly, it was not speculative for more than half a sentence, and it sounded somewhat sad when it fell on the father-son relationship.

"What about that ally of yours?"

Deco was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood that old Carlos was talking about Rui Costa.

"Rui has a job in the Northeast, so he won't be coming back for a while."

"It's also a bastard with no family concept, and he went back to Mozambique and didn't even go home." Carlos Sr. clearly didn't like Rui.

"When his family expelled him, no one seemed to be complaining about him. Now that he has been expelled, what is it to go back? "Deco is very protective of his best friend, even going so far as to defy his father.

There were many rumors in the big family about the things of that year, and Rui Costa's two dragons and phoenixes were just a bag for others. But who cared back then? This is why Rui is too lazy to have any entanglement with his family, otherwise with his current status in the Northeast Intelligence Bureau, the people who framed him in Mozambique back then would have to go through a bloody storm.

Old Carlos snorted and returned to his seat on crutches. Deco was a little surprised, the old man would have turned around and walked out of the room at such a time.

"Second brother, tell me what you have seen and heard in the Northeast."

Fascinated by the impact in the photographs, Figo's eyes lit up with excitement. When the old Carlos on the side saw it, he wanted to open his mouth to scold, but when the words came to his mouth, his lips only moved, but he didn't really make a sound.

Deco's words were very plain, telling his journey to the Northeast in a fifteen-ten, but to the ears of others present, it was more like a magical story in a science fiction book.

"Second brother, you said you met the chairman of Dashang Group?"

Looking at everyone's surprised gazes, Deco was a little happy. At this time, Dashang was no longer so unknown in Mozambique, on the contrary, most of the Mozambicans who had contact with the Northeast left a deep impression on Dashang Group. And the main achievement is ...... Let's put it this way, it was the natives of Eswatini who attacked the caravan of the big merchants from Dewaziland to Maputo, and the result was an all-out attack by the Northeast Insurance team. Although no one knows the exact process and casualties, it is an indisputable fact that the whole of Eswatini was eventually occupied. The original masterminds, the members of the Eswatini royal family who coveted the rough diamonds shipped from the Transvaal, were controversial on this point, but now the controversy is no longer important. Because these people have become dead, and most of their property has gone to the financial funds of the Mozambican government, a small part of which is compensated to the caravans of the big business groups. As for the commoners of Eswatini, they were allocated land and became serious farmers who did not pay taxes.

The whole process of events was very short, from the attack of the large caravan to the overthrow of the entire Eswatini royal family and the occupation of the territory, it took only three days. Among them, there are reasons why Eswatini is too small, and there are also reasons why the Northeast Insurance Team is strong, but this has deeply shocked several surrounding countries. Neither the British nor the Boers wanted to be too opposed to the Northeast in the current situation. The British were politically unstable at home, while the Boers had no strength to contend with the Northeast. Besides, the Northeast still maintains a close relationship with these two companies, and the most important thing is that the Northeast is very open, not to mention the balance of interests, at least it does not make people suffer. Of course, if you don't have the ability to do business on your own, that's another matter. In a sense, the business environment in the Northeast is better than in the UK, which sounds ironic.

"Listening to you say that, the Northeast is really prosperous. But what will we do with our lives under their rule? They took ownership of the land and subleased it to civilians in the black tribes. Although we were given a stake in the factory as compensation, where is the factory now? Why should we believe that they are not empty words? To put it mildly, as a colony, whether we Portuguese, or the Spaniards who succeeded us, or even those British, who are not constantly plundering the land of the colony, before they were black slaves, now they are gold and ivory, who cares about the life and death of the natives of the colony? Julio raised his own questions, and his statement is now the common way in which European powers treat their colonies. The difference is nothing more than whether the means are fierce or not, and the ferocious is not ferocious.

Deco nodded, and then said after a while: "What the eldest brother said may be true, and I don't know much about other places in the Northeast, but when it comes to Mozambique, or even the whole of Southeast Africa, I dare to pack a ticket, the Northeast will definitely want to invest in Mozambique, and factories will definitely be established." ”

Julio and Figo glanced at each other, usually the relationship between brothers is not very harmonious, but they still know each other's temperament very well. Deco is not a man of rhetoric, he is a man of few words, and there are few people who can talk about it, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have talent. Today's scene can only show that he is very excited now, and as for the reason for his excitement, it seems that Dashang has promised great benefits.

When Deco told the story of his meeting with Wang Yi, the family was speechless for a long time. No one expected that Deco would become the spokesman for the interests of big businessmen in Mozambique and Africa, and if he could grasp this position well, the benefits would be huge, and I am afraid that the Carlos family would become one of the richest families in the world.

"Are you serious? Big business is really willing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars a year on construction in Mozambique. ”

This kind of thing is completely contrary to common sense, and it is no wonder that old Carlos, Julio, and Figo feel inexplicably puzzled by the fact that they only heard of those who took money from the colonies, but heard of those who invested money in the past.

Deco did not say everything about the meeting with Wang Yi, including the real ambition of Northeast China to Southeast Africa, and in a sense, Wang Yi's ambition. It's too big, and Deco has to be careful. As for telling the big businessmen about their promises to Mozambique in front of their families, it is not in the way. If you can't even say this, don't dare to publicize it, then it will be difficult for big businessmen to move an inch in Mozambique. After all, it's no good, who wants to mess with you.

The investment plan of big business in Africa is too contrarian, even if Deco came up with the entire investment report, it still makes Carlos Sr. hard to believe. However, Julio and Figo were clearly not on their father's side anymore, and their eyes burst out with a heat almost like the sun, staring at Deco as if they were looking at the Lord in the prayer room...... Maybe not so religious.

The three brothers immediately started talking, and the old Carlos had to watch from the sidelines, but he also felt that this was very good, and the Carlos family was finally about to usher in the opportunity to soar. In the heart of old Carlos, the big business group is not as worthless as he said.
