"I advise Mr. Director that if he has a suspicious target, he should not alarm the other party yet. Try casting a long line to catch a big fish, and you might get an unexpected catch! Fang Lang saw that Director Hodges already had a target that he suspected, so he was about to arrest someone, and hurriedly reminded softly.

As soon as Director Hodges heard this, Fang Lang's words immediately felt reasonable, and he was no longer in a hurry to go back and arrest the spy, if more spies could be discovered through this spy, I believe that Mr. Mayor would not have any objections.

"Fang, what you said makes sense, you have helped me a lot this time. Yesterday Blackwell said to me that it was my dereliction of duty that your compatriots were targeted and humiliated by the Japanese in São Paulo, and that I failed to do anything as police chief. You can rest assured that from today the Japanese will become persona non grata in São Paulo, and I will ask all the police to place them under residential surveillance so that they will not be able to move around São Paulo. ”

This is the main purpose of Director Hodges's visit this time, and I hope that Fang Lang can apologize for failing to stand up and deal with it in time when the São Paulo Police Department was bullied by the Chinese community in the past.

Fang Lang understood that if it weren't for Colonel Titch's explanation of Captain Blackwell this time and taking care of his own safety, what happened last night would not have happened, let alone Mr. Director's visit today.

After all, Brazil will have a 21-year period of dictatorship in Brazil, and only when the military has power can we ensure that the interests of Chinese compatriots in Brazil will not be infringed upon.

"Haha.... Director Hodges, what are you talking about, we are friends, friends should understand each other, let him pass the original matter! But I hope that in the future we can always be friends, be good friends, how? Fang Lang got up and had a cordial handshake with Director Hodges.

"Okay, good friend, Fang, we are good friends from now on, if there is anything you need my help with, I hope you are not polite, I will spare no effort to help you achieve it."

"Haha..... Hodges, my friend, if I need help, I'm not welcome! But don't worry, we Chinese will never let our friends help in vain! The two of them laughed tacitly.

At noon, Fang Lang stayed at the home of Director Hodges and Captain Blackwell, had a hearty lunch with Fang Lang's family, and introduced his family to two friends one by one.

Especially Fang Lang's uncle Fang Xinshui, who originally knew Director Hodges, but the original relationship was not very close, but after Fang Lang's introduction, Director Hodges directly said that if Fang Xinshui had anything to do in the future, he would go directly to the police station to find him, or call him, there was nothing he couldn't do, but he didn't directly say that he would be Fang Xinshui's umbrella in the future.

After the guests left, the family members were curious about why Fang Lang knew so many big people. For ordinary Chinese families, the garrison chief and the São Paulo police chief can indeed be regarded as very big shots.

Fang Lang smiled and said that he would be a bigger man in the future. provoked his family members and rolled their eyes at him.

In the afternoon, Fang Lang walked around the village, relaxed his mood, and at the same time thought about tonight's things in his heart, he thought about it for a long time, now he can only recruit everyone to do things for him, and he can't directly expose his goals, after all, if you want to establish a secret organization, you have to come secretly, and you have to examine the beliefs, abilities, and loyalty of each member before you can send him an invitation.

Therefore, when many young people in the village arrived at Fang Lang's house in the evening, Fang Lang said that he wanted to recruit some crew members of Global Trade Co., Ltd. to train his own captains, and when the time came, he would run the route from Brazil to the motherland, hoping to report to him if he was interested.

provoked many villagers to be dissatisfied, and thought that it was a major matter related to the interests of all Chinese to discuss, but the result was to come to recruit crews, and many people turned around and left with a scolding, but Fang Lang didn't care, and even faintly glad in his heart, fortunately, he didn't directly say that he wanted to set up a Chinese organization, otherwise it is estimated that with the situation of these people, they will soon be called out again, so what secrets will this organization have.

However, Fang Lang still recruited more than 20 people, and three of them were still Fang Lang's hair. The reason why Fang Lang was able to recruit so many people is not that it is difficult to find jobs in Brazil, Brazil is in a period of rapid economic development during this period, and there is a lack of human resources, so many of the people who came here this time actually have jobs. But to be honest, the welfare of Brazilian workers during this period was very poor, not to mention the working hours of more than 12 hours, the wages were pitifully low, and the average production worker was paid less than 20 US dollars a month.

That's why Brazil's President Vargas founded the Labor Party in March, hoping to expand his political influence by creating the Labor Party and improving the treatment of workers. Unfortunately, as a more authoritarian head of government, it is obviously naïve to let go of his own power and hope to use his influence to reverse the political ecology of Brazil.

However, the current president is still far away from Fang Lang, and what he can do is to give his compatriots a salary of fifty dollars a month plus a high salary with additional subsidies for going to sea, to attract everyone to join his company. Although he will not tell everyone that this is his own company, there will definitely be many people who will know who the real boss behind this company is in the future.

After telling everyone to go home and get ready to board the ship at the port of Santos a week later, they let everyone go home. Grandpa didn't understand why Fang Lang didn't organize everyone to set up a Chinese organization as he said. But he didn't ask, he knew that his eldest grandson was now a very assertive person. You are already old, and you have to believe in the young man's own ability.

Early the next morning, Fang Lang sent a telegram informing the three cargo ships in Rio de Janeiro to set sail for the port of Santos, and sent a telegram to the Italian and American branches to find out about the company's current situation.

Mr. Coens, who was having a headache by the Gambino family, sent a long telegram directly as soon as he received Fang Lang's news, and in general, the cigarette market was very hot. Mr. Bojan Gambino wants to expand the supply, saying that with the fierce fighting, the supply of cigarettes is beginning to outstrip supply. At the same time, Mr. Cohens also expressed concern that the company has only one downstream distributor, Gambino.

Fang Lang didn't expect that in such a short period of time, the Gambino family would actually withdraw more than three million dollars worth of cigarettes from global trade, and it seemed that the speed of transporting cigarettes would be accelerated.

As for the question of adding new downstream distributors that Mr. Coens was considering, Fang Lang replied directly, asking Mr. Coens to find downstream distributors for other commodities in Italy. The cigarettes were still run by the Gambino family, which was a pre-negotiated plan. At the same time, Kerns was also required to develop downstream distributors of cigarettes in France and Germany. He said he would soon have $20 million worth of cigarettes shipped from Brazil. Worry that too many quantities will have an impact on the price of cigarettes.

Corns also made a list of commodities that are now scarce in Italy, mainly for people's livelihood, mainly grains, oils, sugar, and seasonings. But the profits of these goods are significantly less than those of cigarettes.

However, agriculture is the backbone of Brazil's industry, and these products are also urgently needed by European countries after the end of the war, so they must be arranged in advance, and they must have a strong transportation capacity and the ability to process these goods.

So in the next few days, Fang Lang began a crazy investment and acquisition activities, through Director Hodges met the mayor of Scalia, and learned that Fang Lang was going to invest tens of millions of dollars in São Paulo on behalf of the United States Global Trade, the entire city government began to help Fang Lang carry out acquisition activities, and a total of three cigarette factories, two sugar factories, a grain and oil processing factory, and a newspaper for Fang Lang.

Because they are all small factories, after the acquisition, Fang Lang directly expressed the hope that the city government can sell a piece of land to allow Fang Lang to build a larger factory area, purchase more advanced equipment from the United States to build more advanced factories, and centralize management at that time.

Overjoyed, the city government began to re-urbanize the city without saying a word, converting a 10,000-hectare plot of land in downtown São Paulo, near the port of Santos, into industrial land and starting to resettle the inhabitants of the land.

In order to thank the municipal government for its support, Fang Xinshui set up a real estate development company at the behest of Fang Lang to build resettlement communities for all the relocated households, but the land in the resettlement community should be used to resettle the relocated residents, and the development company should be allowed to develop real estate projects on its own. The city government readily agreed, and the land size of the original resettlement area was tripled.
