Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 185 Trading

  President Dutra looked at Fang Lang with an aggrieved face in front of him, a mouthful of old blood was suffocating in his throat, and he was almost suffocated to death.

   This is to remind myself that Fang Lang was not rewarded?

  I expanded your First Fleet with 2,000 Marines.

  But thinking about adding two thousand people to him, it seems to be a reward for his support for his superiority.

  His family was persuaded by himself to invest in the construction of a military industrial group last time, and also distributed part of the shares to other families and countries.

  Thinking of this, President Dutra said with a little embarrassment:

   "Fang, I understand, your selfless help to me.

  However, how can I not give back to my friends who have helped me?

  This time you once again gave me such a huge political achievement, it is impossible for me not to give your family the reward it deserves, right? "

   This is clearly an exchange of interests!

   Fang Lang hesitated when he heard President Dutra's statement.

  Because, he doesn't know what kind of return the other party will give him, or he himself doesn't know what kind of return he should get from them.

  If you don't want any benefits for yourself, it is definitely impossible.

  In this way, everyone will treat themselves as fools in the future, only knowing to take benefits from themselves, but not giving back to themselves.

   This is absolutely unacceptable to Fang Lang.

  Looking at President Dutra with a look of embarrassment, he said:

   "I understand, Mr. President, if this is the case, I am willing to give up some interests belonging to our family for your reputation.

  However, if your friends want to participate, they have to talk to me themselves, and I will only cooperate with them if they show enough sincerity. "

  Hearing Fang Lang's words, President Dutra was overjoyed. Of course, he couldn't participate too much in this kind of thing.

  However, he was very moved by Fang Lang's voluntary relinquishment of some of the benefits he had obtained in support of his actions.

   directly stated:

   "Fang, I am very grateful for your dedication.

  I have nothing to compensate you for your loss.

   But don't worry! From now on, Nice Grain Import and Export Company will not be able to pose any threat to your grain and oil import and export business.

  My friends and I will stand firmly by your side. "

  Actually, Fang Lang didn't make too many plans for the grain and oil processing enterprises he acquired.

  It is just that the grain and oil processed by its own factory will be exported directly to Europe and the United States, so as to get a ride on the Marshall Plan and make a small fortune.

  However, today he heard the president mention the American Bunge Company to him, which made him have to re-examine the value of his grain and oil company.

  Brazil was originally the largest grain exporter in the world. Now that I have the opportunity to expand the grain and oil company and compete with Bunge for the position of the top four grain merchants, I have no reason to just make a fuss!

   What's more, once I can really become the largest grain processing and import and export enterprise in Brazil.

   Then all farmers in Brazil will have to feed themselves, what a huge political influence this will be!

   It turned out that the grain and oil processing company that he had never paid attention to had such huge development potential, which made Fang Lang have to face up to this company.

  However, now of course I can't just let go, let President Dutra think that I can get rid of myself in this way.

   Besides, Mr. President just said that he would not let Nice Company threaten his grain and oil import and export business, not to help him defeat the opponent.

   Even just stating that he will be with his friends, on their side.

   I want you guys to stand with me? What's the use of standing with me when the other party threatens you?

   Or just help me win the Nice Company a little bit more.

  "Mr. President, I actually don't want to have conflicts with the Nice Grain Import and Export Company. If possible, I hope to sit down and have a good talk with the shareholders of the Nice Company."

   "Oh my god! Fang, you don't want to recruit those peasants into the group, do you!

  Trust me, they are definitely not good business partners. "

  President Dutra obviously misunderstood Fang Lang's meaning. If Nice Company is really planning to target Fang Lang's grain and oil company, then Fang Lang is also going to talk to the other party first.

   If it is really impossible to negotiate, Fang Lang is about to go to war with them.

  But President Dutra’s misunderstanding can only show that he really cares about the introduction of the automobile industry this time.

   In this case, Fang Lang actually took the absolute initiative.

   Just when Fang Lang was thinking about how to continue to express that he didn't care much about grain import and export companies,

  President Dutra said again:

   "Fang, do you want to rush to make a decision, maybe my friends will have a better solution."

  Fang Lang didn't understand what President Dutra meant, but now he hasn't figured out what benefits he should exchange.

  So, this matter needs to be considered slowly before a decision can be made.

  By the way, you can also let this news slowly ferment in the Brazilian capital market for a few days to see if there will be any wonderful effects.

   "Okay! Mr. President, then I will go back and wait for your good news."

   After finishing talking with Mr. President.

  Fang Lang was not in a hurry to go home, but made an appointment for dinner with General Leta of the General Logistics Department.

   After all, the future largest purchaser of his arms group is the one in front of him.

  He cannot be easily offended.

   "Fang, what do you mean, this time you found a firearms designer in Germany and are planning to return to China to build a small arms manufacturing factory?"

   "Yes, General Leta, but the scale of this factory will not be particularly large.

   Hope to get the support of General Leta. "

   "Why don't you manage them together in the artillery factory? Isn't it easier?"

   Fang Lang is not going to merge his light weapons factory and artillery factory together. After all, the artillery factory is not his own industry.

  The artillery factory was opened at the request of the president, and its political significance is greater than its commercial significance.

   This is Fang Lang's means to deepen his connection with the military, and it cannot bring Fang Lang much economic benefit.

   After all, the artillery produced by the Brazilian army is the biggest consumer. Even if it can be sold to foreign countries, it needs to go through large-scale military purchases between governments.

   There is no way to make a lot of money with such a narrow sales channel.

   Light weapons are completely different, because in addition to being able to equip the army, they can also be sold to the civilian market in countries where guns are not allowed.

  For example, the civilian market of a large gun-consuming country like the United States is a very large market.

  As long as the firearms can pass the review of the U.S. government, if they are distinctive, high-quality and cheap, it will be easy to open the U.S. market.

  Not to mention the profit, the operating rate of the factory alone does not know how many blocks away the artillery factory is.

  So, Fang Lang said directly to General Leta:

   "Your Excellency, our artillery factory, I have obtained a complete artillery craft authorization from the United States.

   So production can start straight away.

  But my light weapons factory did not discuss any technical authorization, which requires us to start from scratch,

   It is still unknown whether the results of research and use can be obtained.

  If I merge him into the artillery factory, it may cause dissatisfaction among other shareholders.

  Because the initial research investment may be huge. "

  It's a pity that although General Leta doesn't have much contact with Fang Lang, he is a person who knows Fang Lang very well. He doesn't believe that Fang Lang will make such a profitless investment.

  His first reaction was that the prospect of this business should be very good, otherwise Fang Lang wouldn't say so.

  "Since research requires a lot of capital investment, the risk is also high. Shouldn't you be looking for a partner to share the investment risk?

  If you are worried about high risks, I can help you find several suitable investment partners. how? "

   How does Fang Lang answer these words? What you said is so reasonable, I don't even know how to refute you!

   "Oh! If Your Excellency the General wants to share the risk with me, I welcome it very much."

  As a result, General Leta began to hold back, and waved his hands again and again:

   "Fang, my identity is definitely not suitable for direct business. If you need it, I can introduce you to some suitable investors."

  In fact, officials or soldiers are not completely forbidden to do business in Brazil, as long as you don’t get caught using your position to seek benefits for your company.

  Besides, it won't be a big problem if someone reports it.

  Of course, given the climate of corruption in Brazil, this regulation is basically useless.

  Doesn’t the big domestic companies and big capitals have a close relationship with government officials?

  Even the president is often impeached because of economic problems, and you expect the officials below to abide by this rule.

  Fang Lang shook his head and said:

   "Your Excellency, what does this matter!

  You can’t do business directly, you can use the name of your family!

   If you are worried about using the name of your family members, you can directly use a fake identity to participate, and I will approve your investment as a major shareholder! isn't it?

  But first let me say that your investment must be real money.

  We really need to invest a lot of money in the research and development of this project. "

   Think about it, if General Leta can really invest in this project, Fang Lang will not lose money.

  After all, Fang Lang no longer has to worry about the sales of light weapons produced by the company.

  And there is another very important point, if General Leta really adopts Fang Lang's method and participates in the investment of this project.

   It means that the relationship between Fang Lang and General Leta will enter a new stage.

   This is what Fang Lang is happy to see.

  After listening to Fang Lang's words, General Leta was taken aback. At this time, shouldn't you take the initiative to offer 20% of the shares to yourself?

   Even have to spend real money to invest.

   This made General Leta a little embarrassed.

  However, thinking about it made him feel relieved, after all, Fang Lang's status was not comparable to that of ordinary businessmen who asked him.

  The other person's identity is the active captain of the Brazilian Navy, the real power in the Brazilian army.

  Although Fang Lang conveyed benefits to himself by buying paintings last time, everyone knew that it was Fang Lang's compensation for his failure to purchase aircraft through the General Logistics Department.

  The procurement of equipment for the Brazilian army is not something that General Letta can settle with one word, and Fang Lang doesn't need to beg General Letta too much.

  With Fang Lang's status in the Brazilian army, it will not be too difficult to sell weapons produced by his factory in Brazil to the Brazilian army.

  Of course, with the participation of General Letta, Fang Lang's active promotion can be turned into the military's active purchase.

   This is an essential difference.
