Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 258 New gameplay

   Of course Fang Lang understood his father's concerns, and he even knew more about the power of the trade union than his father.

  However, after he learned about the hard work of the workers during this period, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

  Workers in this period are really not treated like human beings! Workers in most parts of the world are still on a twelve-hour day, with only one day off per month.

   Fang Lang didn't pay attention to this issue before, so he didn't know much about this situation.

  But after learning about this situation from Mr. Tim Cotton's speech today, I couldn't help but click my tongue secretly.

  This kind of high-intensity labor, where are the workers! This is using people as slaves.

   Everyone doesn’t even have time to rest, which is actually not conducive to improving work efficiency in the long run.

   Fang Lang did not object to the ten-hour work system proposed by the Labor Party trade union, which is why Fang Lang took the initiative to express his gratitude to Mr. Tim Cotton.

   Even Fang Lang wants to adjust the one-day rest time per month to two days per month.

   It's not that Fang Lang has a dark heart and doesn't want to give workers more rest time. It's a common phenomenon in this era. If Fang Lang directly informs the factory to implement an eight-hour working system in the future, he will have two days off a week.

  The bosses of other factories will hate Fang Lang to death, and Fangyuan Group will become the target of public criticism, and capitalists all over the world will follow them.

  Perhaps the development of Fangyuan Group will be directly and seriously affected.

   "Don't worry! How to deal with the trade union, I already have a general idea in my heart, and it shouldn't be difficult to solve."

  Fang Xinshan saw Fang Lang's indifferent expression, so he didn't continue to ask.

  Based on his understanding of his son, the other party will definitely be able to understand the problems he can think of.

  So, just stop disturbing Fang Lang's meditation.

   Soon, the vehicle arrived at the door of the hotel that he had agreed with Mayor Scalia. After greeting his father, Fang Lang got off the car and walked into the hotel.

  Fang Xinshan did not participate in this dinner party. The company's business was very busy, and he was in a hurry to go back to the company to deal with it.

  As soon as he entered the restaurant, Fang Lang saw his cousin Yang Gan walking towards him.

  Fang Lang smiled and greeted the other party.

  Under the guidance of Yang Gan, he entered a private room with a very nice environment.

  The area of ​​the private room is not large. There is a long table in the middle and three stools on each side.

   There is a large window on the wall facing the box door, and two people are sitting on the sofa under the window, drinking coffee and chatting.

  The two saw Fang Lang coming in, and quickly got up to greet him.

Fang Lang and Mayor Scalia had met as early as when Fang Lang went home to visit relatives for the first time, but at the beginning, Fang Lang expressed himself through the introduction of the police chief Sebastio Hodges. Wanting to build a cigarette factory in Sao Paulo, the two parties got in touch.

  At the beginning, Fang Lang was just a small role in front of Mayor Scalia. If he wanted to know Mr. Mayor, he had to pass the introduction of Director Sebastio Hodges.

  Now the status between the two parties has changed. When Mayor Scalia heard that Fang Lang was returning to his hometown to visit his relatives, he rushed to ask for a meeting.

   This is certainly related to Fang Lang's status as a naval colonel, but more importantly is the influence of Fang Lang's family business Fangyuan Group.

  In Western capitalist society, if government officials want to secure their positions, they must find powerful supporters in the business world. Only when they find powerful supporters can they have the opportunity to obtain sufficient campaign funds.

   "Colonel Fang, welcome home."

  Mayor Scalia walked to the door of the box very proactively and enthusiastically, and stretched out his hands.

  Fang Lang also stretched out his right hand, and said with a smile:

   "Mr. Mayor Scalia, nice to see you again."

   After speaking, the two gave a big hug.

   After greeting, Mayor Scalia pointed to the middle-aged man beside him and said:

   "Colonel Fang, this is our Sao Paulo city council speaker, Mr. Carol Dorje, and also the party chairman of our National League in Sao Paulo."

  Fang Lang didn't expect that this was the speaker of the city council. Normally, the two should be on an equal footing in Sao Paulo.

   That is the two biggest giants in Sao Paulo.

   Before Fang Lang could speak, Mr. Duoji had already stretched out his right hand and said:

   "Mr. Fang, nice to meet you!"

  The other party did not follow Mayor Scalia to call himself a colonel, but instead called himself a gentleman. Obviously, this is a private gathering and has nothing to do with your government positions.

  After Fang Lang returned to Sao Paulo, he always wore a suit instead of a military uniform, just to let everyone ignore his military status.

  Including his guards, all of them wore uniform black suits, more like bodyguards than facing guards.

   Fang Lang smiled and grabbed the other's right hand, holding them tightly.

   "Mr. Dorji, I am also very glad to meet you."

Mayor Scalia smiled when he heard the names of the two. The reason why he called Fang Lang a colonel was actually to congratulate Fang Lang. After all, when the two met for the first time, Fang Lang's military rank was only one. Little Lieutenant.

   Being able to be promoted to a colonel with real power in such a short period of time, of course Mayor Scalia would like to congratulate Fang Langbiao.

  In fact, the relationship between government officials and the military in Brazil is still relatively distant.

  Because soldiers are not allowed to join political parties. Of course, after you retire, it doesn’t matter how you want to join.

   After exchanging pleasantries, the three entered the table and sat down.

  Since several people have lunch together, it is impossible to start talking about business directly. Therefore, everyone in front of them is talking about their respective anecdotes.

   It wasn't until after lunch that Mayor Scalia took the initiative to change the topic to business.

   "Mr. Fang, thank you for your family's investment in Sao Paulo, which has provided enough jobs for us in Sao Paulo.

   Today I have an appointment with Mr. Speaker, mainly to know your opinion on our National League? "

  Fang Lang didn't expect that the other party would bring up such a big topic, how could he answer it?

   "Mr. Scalia, you know that I am a soldier and cannot participate in politics.

  So, I dare not have any opinion on the National League. "

   Luo Er Duoji understood that Fang Lang had obviously misunderstood Scalia's meaning, and quickly said:

   "This is Mr. Fang. As far as we know, Fangyuan Group became the major shareholder of Nice Company through a share swap during the process of introducing the automobile industry system from Germany.

  We all know that the Nice company is actually the backstage funder of the Social Democratic Party.

   Now that Fangyuan Group has become the majority shareholder of Nice Company, does this mean that Fangyuan Group will fully support the development of the Social Democratic Party in the future? "

  Luol Duoji's words finally made Fang Lang understand the main purpose of the other party's meeting with him today.

   This is worrying that the Fangyuan Group, which is now in full swing, has completely fallen to its political opponent, the Social Democratic Party.

  Fang Lang smiled at the two of them and said:

   "You two are worrying too much. Fangyuan Group is a commercial company, not a political family. We will not choose sides. We will support whoever can protect the interests of our Fangyuan Group.

   For now, Sao Paulo is the base camp of the National League, but we have made a large investment here.

  Even, my cousin, Mr. Yang Qian, also joined the Kuomintang, so you two don’t have to worry about our Fangyuan Group’s position at all? "

  Hearing Fang Lang's statement, the two looked at each other, with satisfied smiles in their eyes, and they seemed obviously relieved.

  Mayor Scalia first laughed and said:

   "Fang, I just said that we are friends, and you will definitely not support my work.

  However, although your Fangyuan Group has invested a lot in Sao Paulo, you rarely contact our local National League members.

  This worries our party chairman very much. "

   As he spoke, he also indicated with his eyes that he was talking about Speaker Luo Erduoji.

  Hearing Scalia's words, Fang Lang understood what the other party meant. This is Mr. Luo Erduoji, the chairman of the National League Party, who was worried about whether the Fangyuan Group would completely fall to the Social Democratic Party.

  Luol Duoji didn't mind Scalia's behavior of selling himself, so he smiled and said to the other party:

   "Mr. Fang, thank you for answering my confusion.

   Please rest assured that our National League will resolutely safeguard the interests of the Fangyuan Group in Sao Paulo.

  If the Fangyuan Group has any proposals for the construction of Sao Paulo, you can contact me, and I will definitely actively promote it. "

   This is considered a direct statement. These foreigners are really not reserved at all.

  But Fang Lang likes people who talk straight, because he has never been in officialdom or office in two lifetimes, and he can't understand some things.

  Fang Lang thought for a while, and said directly:

   "You two also know that my hometown is very chaotic now because of the war.

  In addition to the lack of human resources in Brazil, our Fangyuan Group is immigrating from our hometown to Brazil.

  Because of the large number of immigrants, there may be some unharmonious voices.

   I want Parliament to push a bill that supports our immigration practices.

   and facilitate the acquisition of legal status in Brazil by new immigrants. "

  Luol Duoji pondered for a while and said:

   "Mr. Fang, I think your proposal is very meaningful. Population has always been an obstacle restricting Brazil from becoming a big country.

   I personally agree with this proposal of yours.

  I think our members of the National League also have their own hands.

  Your idea, we will form a document as soon as possible, and after internal discussion, it will be handed over to you for review.

   If you think it is feasible, we will directly submit it to the National Legislative Assembly for discussion.

   Please believe that our National League will do our best to support our friends. "

  Fang Lang didn't expect that the speaker in front of him would act so vigorously. One of his proposals, the other party immediately expressed that he would directly submit it to the National Legislative Assembly for discussion.

   Once passed, it will become the law of Brazil.

  Then the interests of the Chinese in Brazil will be directly recognized by law.

  This is really awesome.

   Fang Lang knew for the first time that politics was played like this.

   Regarding the statement of Speaker Luo Er Duoji, of course Fang Lang has to express something.

   "I really like Mr. Duoji's behavior style. Please rest assured that Mr. Fangyuan Group never treats friends badly.

  Today, I will ask the chairman of Fangyuan Group to issue orders to each of its subsidiaries, and each subsidiary will establish a friendly and trustworthy partnership with the local National League organization. "

  Although Fang Lang did not express that he would fully support the National League, Speaker Luo Er Duoji has gained a lot today.

  He understands that this kind of friendly and mutual trust partnership has no practical significance.

  However, he believes that once the bill on Chinese immigration mentioned by Fang Lang just now satisfies Fang Lang, the relationship between this partner will take a big step forward.

   As for whether this bill will be passed, he is not worried at all. After all, with the participation of the National League and the influence of the Fangyuan Group on the Social Democratic Party.

  If this bill is not passed, it will be hell.

   In Fang Lang's mind, he also wanted to pass this bill to test whether the Fangyuan Group's influence in the Social Democratic Party is really as huge as everyone said.

  If there is such a big influence, many of Fang Lang's plans can be accelerated.
