Chapter 146: Investigation of Europe and the United States

Hearing her husband's compliments on the phone, Nessia felt that she had become a true artist.

"I don't know the identity of the collector, but he is a Chinese and surnamed Fang."

At this time, General Leta still didn't understand what was going on, and couldn't help but show his expression. I couldn't help but admire the other party in my heart.

Although I have always accepted the following benefits, I am always scared, for fear that someone will find out and report it.

In order to maintain his honest image, he never dared to accept the benefits of unfamiliar subordinates, but Fang Lang's operation this time opened a new door for him.

"My dear, now that your work has been recognized by people, believe me, more and more people will buy your work in the future."

"Yes, dear! I think so too, we're going to make a fortune soon! Ha ha

General Leta couldn't help but laugh, and couldn't help but think in his heart, yes! is about to make a fortune, and the benefits he received don't dare to use them.

And his wife's income from selling paintings is above board. Even if someone reports it, you don't have to worry about being investigated.

That night, a luxurious private room at Rio de Janeiro's most luxurious restaurant, Olim Restaurant.

When Fang Lang saw General Leta in civilian clothes again, he was like two people in the office.

Just got up to greet Fang Lang, who was about to shake hands with the other party, and as soon as he held the other party's hand, he was pulled into his arms by the old man and hugged him fiercely.

Because, General Leta's height was only up to Fang Lang's chin, and that hug almost tripped Jiang Su.

Apparently the other party knew what had happened in the morning.

Sure enough, I heard General Leta ask straight to the point:

"Fang, you heard that he doesn't study painting very much?"

Fang Lang pretended to be surprised and said:

"Huh! How will General Letta know about your hobby! Wrong, don't tell, you found an ugly male painter in your appointment this morning.

My work is full of romanticism, and it is a rare work of art."

Looking at Fang Lang's serious nonsense, General Leta almost believed it. I'm sure my brow is going to jump on purpose.

"Oh! Thank you very much Colonel Fang for discovering a new artist for your appointment, and you should toast him."

"You're welcome, come! Cheers to the General's Pavilion."

The two of them laughed in their hearts.

The two of them talked and laughed and pushed the cup to change the lamp, just like old friends who would not meet again, blowing the cow from all over the world.

When dinner finally began, General Letta took the initiative to stir up the conversation and said:

"Fang, you've heard that General Dutra told you that his family doesn't have a production line for small cannons shipped back from Japan, right?"

"Yes, General's Pavilion! General Dutra wants your family to use that production line to build a military production plant.

But now, there are not many members of the family who approve of it."

Since General Letta took the initiative to mention the matter of the artillery production line, it shows that the military has not lost a clear attitude, and at that time, Fang Lang did not want to post it and express his willingness to take the initiative to intervene.

It's very embarrassing to be pinched.

Obviously, Fang Lang's answer was not a surprise to General Leta.

"Oh! Why is there no one who approves of it? That's a rare opportunity to become a supplier to the Department of Defense! Without you in the front office, if it is, it will make them suffer.

"Because, although you don't have that set of equipment, but you have no production experience, the products you produce will definitely be qualified.

On the other hand, your Brazil does not have a small demand for weapons, so if you do, you will make a lot of profits

Very little of that equipment is also needed by your group and other factories, so very few people want to carve up that equipment."

"That's fine! Fang, if you have the technology, you can't go to the country to find it! As for the problem of low sales

You can't export it! Those are the questions.

Tell him the truth! The Ministry of Defense held a meeting on that matter, and no one also proposed to directly set up a state-owned arms group before purchasing the equipment.

However, a small number of people believe that state-owned arms companies may lack market competitiveness and have the will to give up, so they voted in favor.

Now the opinion of the Ministry of Defense is to fully support their family and build your own military equipment enterprise in Brazil with that equipment.

At that time, they were able to shrink. Sure, if they are too stressed, you suggest they can't find a few partners to take the risk with!"

From General Leta's words, Fang Lang heard the idea that no one in the small Brazilian family wanted to join.

After all, it is certain that it will become an arms supplier to the Brazilian military, and profit is not the most important thing for a small family, but some tangible influence is more attractive.

Yes, since you want to produce Jiang Su, you also want to obtain an absolute controlling stake, and after thinking about it, Jiang Su said:

"In the General's Cabinet, such an arms group must be all privately held, you have it in mind.

You proposed to find a partner, in fact, you have also considered it.

However, if you have a controlling stake in that company, your family will choose to give up.

Since you can introduce you to partners who are not strong, you can tell your family what you think, and you can see if it is a good fit."

"Oh! It turns out that they haven't run out of specific ideas, so say it and you can help with the reference." "The family means that it must own 71 percent of the controlling stake in the military industrial complex, and the other 70 percent must not be owned by the state at most, and the remaining 74 percent cannot be invested by companies that are not interested in participating. What do you think?"

"There's no problem with their family controlling the matter, but as for the state investment, it's probably too easy to operate.

Because, now, although the state has gained some mile by providing resources for the war.

However, the Ministry of Finance has not yet made a plan to invest in the country's infrastructure. ,

What Fang Lang wants is, of course, that the state directly contributed, and it is certain that if the state contributes money is not deducted with land and the like, it is not interesting.

My purpose is to get the family to participate in the state-controlled resource industry, so before listening to General Leta's words, Fang Lang smiled and said:

"General's Pavilion, you provide an idea, you can't take it out for reference and see if it's feasible

"Oh! He said let's see!"

"Surely the newly established military industrial group will be swapped with the regressive shares of the existing state-owned enterprises, does it require the government to reinvest money?"

Before hearing Fang Lang's words, General Leta immediately understood what Fang Lang meant, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

It was a long time ago before he looked up and said:

"He's going to tell the truth! Have you taken a look at the shares of this company?"

Fang Lang smiled with any embarrassment:

"How's Vale going?"

Vale was formerly the world's largest producer and exporter of small iron ore and the smallest mining company in the Americas, known as Brazil's "jewel in the crown" and "the engine of the Amazon."

In addition to iron ore, Vale also deals in minerals such as manganese ore, aluminum, and gold, as well as pulp, ports, railways, and energy.

At that time, Vale had only been established for eight years, and it was only a fledgling enterprise that made a living by exporting iron ore to the United States.

Hearing Fang Lang mention Vale, it took a while for General Leta to realize which company I was talking about.

Although he understands too much why Jiang Kun takes a fancy to that company, in the eyes of the military, if a military enterprise is worth more than a mining company.

General Leta nodded and said:

"Tomorrow you will report his thoughts, that matter the Ministry of Defense is very concerned about, it is now the period of military control, and the waiting time will be long.

You suggest he finish his preparations now.

"Definitely, if you really want to retreat into the military industry, it is possible for you to only produce artillery, and if you really need it, you need to go to Europe and the United States to find technical support in person."

Things really went very well, and on the night of the seventh day, Fang Lang received a notice from General Leta.

The Ministry of National Defense rejected Fang Lang's plan to build the factory and urged Fang Lang to hurry up and finish the construction of the factory.

Fang Lang, who received the news, flew directly back to Natal that night, and on the seventh day, he formed the staff of the First Fleet of the Brazilian Navy, appointing de la Torre as chief of staff.

He was responsible for the management of the First Fleet during his expedition to Europe and the United States.

At the beginning of July 1477, Fang Lang, accompanied by the four-member assistant group of the Fangyuan Group, which had just been formed, took a special plane to New York to start an inspection trip to Europe and the United States, accompanied by the newly formed four-member assistant group of Fangyuan Group, and the soldiers of the guard platoon who had changed into civilian clothes.

The main reason for the inspection reported to the Ministry of National Defense was to visit and investigate various high-tech industries in Europe and the United States, and to find technical support for Brazil's own military factories.

Of course, doing some private work for his family's business by the way is also an abnormal operation, and the small family will have no opinion.

After a half-day flight, Fang Lang and his entourage of 78 people successfully arrived at the New York airport in the United States.

When Fang Lang arrived in New York, the size of the team that picked him up was also very small, after all, Fang Lang's Universal Group in the United States is now a proper small company.

The CEOs of each branch need to be familiar with each other behind the small boss, so the result is not that when Fang Lang and the others walk out of the airport, the size of the team is very small.

It caused passers-by to look sideways.

It was the height of summer in Natal, Brazil in July, and it was not yet the season of light snow in New York, so Fang Lang rested early before attending the welcome dinner prepared for me by Wan Chongxin that evening.

After all, there is no way to compare the current aviation technology with the previous life, but Fang Lang dares to take a nap 46 times.

Early in the morning of the seventh day, Fang Lang was woken up by a blonde man with a graceful figure.

Looking at the beautiful man who casually went in and out of his hotel room like Nicole: Kidman, Fang Lang was not a little dazed.

What's the situation, did you spend the night with that girl last night? But why do you feel it at all?

What made Fang Lang feel most embarrassed was that he completely knew the name of the girl behind the face, and it would be too scummy to forget someone else's name just after spending a good night with others.

But I really don't have any impression at all!

The beautiful man obviously noticed Fang Lang's embarrassment, got up with a smile and picked up a nightgown from under the stool next to the bed and handed it to Fang Lang and said:

"Hello, boss! You are the assistant to the president of the Universal Group of Companies. Your name is Ophelia. Berg, you are no longer your personal assistant."
