Chapter 259: The Speechless Fangyuan Group
What Fang Lang didn't know was that he was having lunch with Mayor Scalia and Mr. Carol Dorjee, Mr. Speaker.
Mr. Tim Cotton, whom he met in the morning at the aircraft factory, was reporting to the head of the Labour Party in São Paulo about what he had encountered today.
"You just said that the boss you met was a young man in his twenties."
Originally, this was just a routine daily work report, but Tim Cotton didn't take it to heart, and just informed his superiors of the content and results of today's work.
I didn't expect my superiors to be very interested in which young boss I had met.
"Yes, Mr. Chairman.
And, it seems, the Germans respect each other very much and call him the boss.
When he introduced himself to me, he also said that his name was Fang Lang, and he should be the eldest son of the Fang family who served as a colonel in the navy."
"Wait, let's see if it's this one?"
As he spoke, the person in charge took out a photo from the drawer in front of him and put it on the table, motioning for Tim Cotton to look at it.
In the photo, it was Fang Lang in uniform.
"That's right, it's him."
"Then you can't be wrong, he is Fang Lang, the commander of the First Fleet of the Brazilian Navy."
"This man is very strange, and instead of being angry, he thanked me when I was in the factory to encourage workers to join our union against his company."
"Oh! You explain the situation to me carefully."
Tim Cotton explained the situation to his immediate boss in detail.
The person in charge also felt a little inexplicable after listening to Tim Cotton's words.
However, he did not make any comment, but nodded to indicate that he had understood.
"Go down! By the way, forget the photos I showed you today, you just came to report on the progress of your work at the aircraft factory today, understand?"
Tim Cotton didn't take it to heart, after all, what he reported was normal work, and there was nothing unseemly and no need to keep it secret.
But what Tim Cotton didn't know was that after he left his superior's office, his boss picked up the phone on the desk and called.
"Sir, the target is here in São Paulo this morning."
"Yes, my man confirmed the photo, it's him."
"I can't confirm my current location, but since the other party has returned to São Paulo, he will definitely go home."
"Yes, understood."
When he hung up the phone, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Then he got up and left his office, picked up his Ford car in the parking lot, and left the office directly.
After finishing lunch, Fang Lang did not go home directly, but drove directly to the office building of Fangyuan Group's headquarters in the downtown area of São Paulo.
With Fangyuan Group's current status in São Paulo, the environment of the office building will naturally not be bad.
This five-storey office building in the heart of the city is one of the few high-rise buildings in downtown São Paulo.
My father's office is located on the fifth floor, in the large office on the far left.
Fang Lang came to his father's office for the first time, and the whole office looked very simple, without any luxurious elements.
What attracted Fang Lang's attention the most was a pair of large characters hanging on the wall on the right, "Great Ambition", which were written vigorously and powerfully, and at first glance they came from the hands of famous artists.
Underneath the big characters is a reception area, where several unfamiliar faces are reporting to their father.
Everyone was stunned when they saw Fang Lang coming in, Fang Xinshan saw that it was his son, and he didn't introduce it to everyone, but just said to Fang Lang:
"You sit back first, I'll talk to you about something after I'm done."
Fang Lang nodded with a smile and continued to look at the layout of the office. I found that there was nothing other than this painting that caught my eye.
Some of them are bored and pull out a random book from the bookshelf behind their desks
I watched it.
I didn't expect it to be a copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which made Fang Lang a little surprised.
Because I am in Brazil, I have not seen this kind of Chinese book for a long time.
sat directly on the boss's chair behind the desk, put his legs on the desk, and began to read this Republic of China version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Several people who were reporting to Fang Xinshan saw Fang Lang's performance, and they all muttered in their hearts, who could this master be?
can be so casual in the chairman's office.
Finally waiting for the work report of several people to finish, Fang Xinshan looked at Fang Lang, who was leaning back on the chair and reading with relish, and smiled.
If this was the original, Fang Lang put his legs on his table so unscrupulously, Fang Xinshan would have kicked it over a long time ago.
But now the relationship between father and son is very different from before.
The son's excellence has long exceeded his father's expectations, so he has become a lot more tolerant of his son.
Seeing that his son was looking seriously, Fang Xinshan coughed lightly and said:
"Put your legs down, sit or not, what kind of body will you become."
Fang Lang looked up and saw that the people in the office had left, not only did he take his feet off the desk and said:
"Dad! The management of your company is too haphazard.
I came in directly through the company gate, and asked for directions all the way to your office, but no one asked me what I was doing! There are no appointments.
There wasn't even a security guard at the gate.
Aren't you afraid that someone will break in and steal some documents from the company?
As far as I know, there are two gangs of no small size in São Paulo, and with the current size of our Fangyuan Group, what will we do when we are targeted."
When Fang Xinshan heard Fang Lang's words, he said with some disdain:
"It's okay, everyone is like that."
Fang Lang didn't expect his father to be so casual, his face turned pale, and he said with a serious expression:
"I can't control what other people do, but our Fangyuan Group is a regular international company, and we must be formalized.
The first step is to set up our own security department, set up gates for all departments of the company, and all personnel must be registered in and out.
I would use my connections in the military to set up a legitimate security company with gun licenses.
The first employees of the company, I will recruit from veterans who have had real combat experience.
I've heard that there are also many veterans of the war among the laborers who came from my hometown, so I'll see if I can pick a few good ones to follow you as bodyguards.
I didn't notice that you drive to and from work by yourself, so it's too dangerous."
Fang Xinshan looked at his son helplessly, he really felt that these were unnecessary, but this was his son who cared about him, and he couldn't refuse.
I can only helplessly spread my hands and say:
"Alright, alright, you can do it yourself!
Anyway, the company is yours, and you can toss as much as you want, but bodyguards are really unnecessary.
I drive to and from work every day, and no one can do anything to me, and if it's really dangerous, I'll just drive into it."
Fang Lang disagreed with Fang Xinshan's idea very much, even in his hometown in later generations, such a big boss had to be equipped with a driver and bodyguard.
And his father dared not to be worthy of bodyguards in Brazil, and the company was not worthy of security guards.
The company has been able to operate normally for so long, and no one has come to the door to find trouble, Fang Lang feels a little unscientific.
"You make you say that the company is mine, and I can toss it as much as I want, then listen to me.
Tomorrow, the company's security department will be set up, and I will be responsible for recruiting specific personnel.
The second thing is to set up a secretariat that will be responsible for assisting you, handling the company's business, arranging your itinerary, and at least not allowing people to enter your office casually.
There must be a secretary at the door, so that it looks like a regular large enterprise
。
When you go back and give me a chart of the company's organizational structure, I want to take a closer look at whether it is suitable and what loopholes exist."
Fang Lang knew in his heart that in fact, he couldn't blame his father for this, after all, everyone was only from a farmer's background, and they had never seen what a real big company was like.
Today, Fang Lang felt that something was wrong after walking into the door of the company, a company of Nuoda didn't even have a front desk, and no one cared about what he was doing after entering the door.
Along the way, I asked the chairman where he was in the office, and everyone told him casually that he didn't have any sense of vigilance at all.
Where is this what a regular company should look like, it is clearly a vegetable market!
There was no accident in such a situation, Fang Lang felt that it was a miracle.
"What kind of secretary do you want, I can do my work by myself, isn't it a waste of money to hire a secretary?"
Fang Xinshan still felt that it was completely unnecessary, and shook his head to refuse.
But Fang Lang wouldn't give him a chance, so he directly picked up the phone on the desk and dialed out.
"Qingshan, I remember that among the laborers we rescued in Natal, there was a northeasterner named Xin Shiliang, who was the director of the office of the Fengtian City Hall, right?"
"Immediately arrange for someone to find him and ask him to come to the headquarters of the Fangyuan Group in São Paulo to set up a secretariat for my father to assist my father in his work."
Seeing that Fang Lang had hung up the phone, Fang Xinshan knew that he was powerless to stop it, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
Fang Lang was also afraid that when he was not there, his father would not listen to him and change his decision without authorization.
Said solemnly to his father:
"Dad! I am not only making these arrangements to ease the burden on you, but also to make our business a truly international company.
If we want to succeed, we must formalize it, form a complete system in everything we do, and we can't just pat our heads and decide what to do.
You can make the company's organizational chart as soon as possible, and take advantage of the time I have at home today, let's sum it up together and regularize the company as soon as possible.
Don't go down to the person in charge of the branch below, swallow up all the company's assets, and we can't find out, thinking that the company's poor management has caused losses."
Hearing his son's last words, Fang Xinshan finally became serious, he just hadn't been in contact with a regular company.
But he is not stupid, and he knows that the possibility that his son said is not impossible.
If this situation really occurs because of his own reasons, then he will probably regret dying, and if his son's hard-earned property is destroyed in his own hands, then he will want to die.
"Okay! I listen to you, you have seen more of the world than I have, and you know more than I do, and I will do as you say."
When Fang Lang saw his father, he finally changed his attitude, and he was relieved.
The original intention of establishing Fangyuan Group was only to build a shipyard and steel plant in Brazil as a joint venture with Global Shipbuilding.
I did not expect that Fangyuan Group would develop so rapidly in a short period of time, and in a short period of time, it has become a giant group company in many fields including tobacco, media, construction engineering, real estate development, labor agency, migration agency, pharmaceutical, military industry, aircraft manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, shipbuilding, steel, bauxite mining, textile, salt industry, cement, airport aviation and other fields.
It is also a giant company that has the ability to control Brazilian agriculture, such as Nice.
At the same time, it has a well-funded bank in the financial sector and an asset management company established as a joint venture with Global Trading.
It's not that he doesn't know, but he is shocked, and Fang Lang has to admire that he can toss.
