Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 377 Artillery Factory

  Actually, this has something to do with everyone's perspective. In Ji Wanchang's eyes, Fang Lang's advice to him is to help the Malaya Chinese community, and everyone should remember his contribution.

   It is best to vigorously promote and establish Fang Lang's image. In the future, Fang Lang will help them make more suggestions.

   In the eyes of Fang Lang, Fang Xinshui and others, everyone is Chinese. If you want to fight for an independent new country for the Chinese in Malaya, we will do it with all hands.

   It is only natural to make suggestions for you.

   But now your enemy is the British. Although the opponent has fallen, but the influence is still there. If you let the opponent know that your Brazilian general is helping the anti-British forces to make suggestions, you may put pressure on the Brazilian government.

   Let Fang Lang's position in Brazil be affected.

  So, neither Fang Lang nor Fang Xinshui wanted the British to discover their existence.

  Although Ji Wanchang didn't understand why Fang Xinshui didn't want people to know Mr. Fang's existence, but now that he had something to ask for, he could only pinch his nose and let the other party threaten him.

   "Hall Master Fang, please rest assured! Since you think we should keep Mr. Fang's existence a secret, I will strictly enforce it.

  However, our business still needs the guidance of Mr. Fang. If we encounter problems that cannot be solved, I hope you can help me contact Mr. Fang and answer them for us.

   Ji Mou will definitely have a good report when the time comes. "

   Naturally, Xinshui would not refuse this party, and without thinking too much, he nodded and agreed to the other party's request.

  At the same time, Fang Lang had already returned to the Overseas Chinese Village. He went out to practice martial arts early this morning, and went to Hongyitang to talk about things in the afternoon. Fang Lang didn't have time to accompany his girlfriend.

  So, after talking about the business, I hurried back to the village to accompany my girlfriend.

   "My God! My dear, is our hospital this big?"

   Before dark, Fang Lang took Lilith and Vivian to the construction site of the hospital to see the construction of the hospital.

  After seeing the plan of the hospital, Lilith couldn't believe her eyes. She thought that what Fang Lang wanted to build was just a small hospital.

   But who knows, Fang Lang basically referred to those famous large-scale third-level hospitals in later generations for construction.

  Therefore, both the construction area and the scale of the hospital were far beyond Lilith's expectations.

  Hearing Lilith's exclamation, Fang Lang smiled and said:

   "Haha, my dear, what is the point of this, what I want to build is not an ordinary small hospital, but a large research-oriented general hospital.

  Seeing a doctor is only his basic function. I hope to make him a medical institution integrating teaching and research.

  In the future, many medical laboratories will be set up here for doctors, experts and professors from all over the world to conduct medical experiments.

   And these will be handed over to you to manage. "

  When Lilith heard this, she felt tremendous pressure, and stammered:

   "Ah! Keke, I'm still just a student! I'm still learning even the most basic medical knowledge!"

  Fang Lang heard the words, smiled and said:

   "Don't worry! You are not told to start managing now, aren't you learning?

   Besides, managing a hospital does not require you to have a high medical level.

   In addition to studying, you can ask Olivia Berg for some management knowledge. He is a top student who graduated from a related major. We must learn to fully extract his surplus value. "

   Lilith heard the words, gave Fang Lang an angry look and said:

   "What are you talking about!"

   Vivian on the side heard the words even more, and smiled as if I had caught her:

   "Yeah! Honey! I'm going to tell Olivia that you want to **** her up."

   Hearing these words in Fang Lang's ears, it felt as if something was wrong. For a while, he didn't know how to answer the conversation.

   Lilith slapped her sister directly, signaling her not to talk nonsense.

   Turned his head to Fang Lang and said:

   "Honey, do you think Olivia will be bored in Rio de Janeiro alone, should we arrange someone to pick her up!"

  Fang Lang glanced at Lilith helplessly, thinking that his father was already very dissatisfied with bringing two girlfriends home this time.

  If Olivia Berg is taken over again, if the family asks, no one will believe that he said that he is an assistant of Universal Company.

   Maybe he thought it was his third girlfriend. Although he didn't dislike making Olivia the third child, now Olivia's uncle is the vice president of his media company.

  Would it be bad if he found out, so he said indifferently:

   "She came to see his uncle, how could she be bored?"

   Lilith glanced at Fang Lang with a half-smile and said:

   "Do you think she really came to see his uncle?"

  Fang Lang heard the words, looked at Lilith suspiciously and asked:

"if not?"

  The girl Vivienne was already at the side, and said without any scruples:

   "Honey, you are really hypocritical, I don't believe you have no idea about Sister Olivia!

   Otherwise, you will let such a beautiful sister be your personal secretary.

snort! hypocritical! "

   Fang Lang's face was full of embarrassment when he said this, and Lilith on the side also looked at Fang Lang with a smile on his face this time, wanting to see how he was going to answer.

   Fang Lang just looked at Lilith for help, when he saw Lilith's expression of looking forward to the show.

   can only shrug helplessly and say:

   "Okay! I admit that Olivia is beautiful, but I promise I only love you guys!

   Besides, does this have anything to do with whether she came to see her uncle? "

  Vivian hugged Fang Lang's right arm indifferently, and said jokingly:

  "Honey, the elders say that a man's mouth is full of roses, but it's not credible at all!

  You say you love us, but I believe it! But you said that you only love us, I don't believe it so much!

hey-hey"

  Lilith also said aside:

   "Okay! My dear, you are really not honest at all. Regardless of whether Olivia came to see her uncle or not, since you are in Brazil, do you want to do your best as a landlord?"

  Hearing this, Fang Lang thought about it seriously for a while, and then said to Lilith with a serious face:

   "Hmm! What Lilith said makes sense. Hospitality is our Chinese tradition.

  A friend traveled thousands of miles to my hometown, and it is really necessary for me to entertain her warmly.

  Then I will ask someone to buy him a plane ticket to Sao Paulo tomorrow morning. "

  Lilith rolled her eyes at Fang Lang angrily, and Vivian, who was holding Fang Lang's arm, pinched Fang Lang's arm with her hand, and said angrily:

   "Hmph! What a hypocritical man!"

  Fang Lang looked ahead as if he didn't realize it, and continued to discuss with Lilith about the hospital's future construction plan and development blueprint.

  Vivian and Lilith did not continue to entangle, but looked at their own man who was berating Fang Qiu with admiration.

   This time Fang Lang is on vacation, it is naturally impossible to really take a complete vacation.

   Fang Lang, who rarely had time to return to St. Paul, arrived at the artillery factory accompanied by Qi Qingshan and other guards early the next morning.

  The location of the factory is very remote, nearly three hours' drive from the city.

  By the time Fang Lang and others arrived at the factory, the chief engineer of the artillery factory, Girard Bull, had already been waiting at the gate of the artillery factory early.

   The first time they saw Fang Lang coming, they greeted him without hesitation. The two complained while shaking hands:

   "Boss, you finally came to see us.

  I thought my work made you very dissatisfied! So you don't want to see our artillery factory! "

   Fang Lang heard the words, while shaking hands with the other party, he patted the other party's arm with his left hand and said:

   "How is it possible, although I don't have time to visit you in the factory, but I have heard a lot about you.

   No, I just heard that your 155mm howitzer has been finalized, so I took advantage of my vacation to come over to have a look.

  I heard that our model is nearly 100 kg lighter than his prototype, the US-made M1A1 model? "

   Speaking of his own products, Girard Bourna said proudly:

   "Yes, boss!

  We have replaced some parts of the artillery that do not require the use of steel materials, and have chosen lighter aluminum alloys.

  Although the weight of the artillery has been reduced, the performance has not been affected in any way.

  The military representatives stationed at the site are very satisfied with the artillery produced by us, and have submitted a report to the Ministry of National Defense.

   Just wait until the acceptance by the Ministry of National Defense is completed, and then you can start to slowly supply the military. "

  Fang Lang nodded when he heard the words, and the two walked into the artillery production workshop accompanied by a large group of people.

  Giral Bull walked in front and kept introducing to Fang Lang, the production process of the artillery, and the processing equipment.

  Although some equipment looks second-hand, it is clear that it has no effect on using it.

   Among them, there are also many brand new processing equipment.

  Fang Lang in his previous life had only heard of electroslag remelting, but this time he saw the real thing in the factory.

  According to Girard Bull, this is the most advanced processing equipment he obtained from the United States by using his own relationship.

  After visiting the entire manufacturing process of the factory, Fang Lang finally understood why the artillery produced by the artillery factory can reach the performance level of the original version.

  It turns out that in addition to the equipment Fang Lang shipped from Japan, the factory purchased a lot of more advanced equipment from the United States.

   Most of the workers in the factory are American workers. No wonder the products can reach the current level of performance, which is no different from production in the United States!

   This is not what Fang Lang wants, so, after visiting the shooting limit experiment of the artillery.

  Backing to Girard Bull's office, Fang Lang said directly:

   "Girard, I am very satisfied with the fact that you were able to make the artillery factory have real artillery production capacity so quickly, and made improvements and innovations.

  But I noticed that many positions in the factory are filled with skilled workers hired from the United States, which will greatly increase our management costs.

  I believe that the cost of the artillery we produce now must be more than that produced in the United States, right? "

  Giral Bull, who thought he would continue to be praised, did not expect that the first question the boss asked in the office was the cost issue that he was least willing to mention.

  However, this is indeed an unavoidable fact, so I can only bite the bullet and say to Fang Lang:

   "Yes, our production cost is 15% higher than that of American factories.

  Among them, labor cost accounts for 5%, and the other 10% is because we use new materials to reduce weight.

  In addition, we are only doing trial production in small batches for experimentation and acceptance, so the cost is high. "

   Fang Lang heard it, and thought, "That's right!"

  He knew that this required a process, and it was impossible to complete it in one step, so he smiled and said:

   "It doesn't matter, I can understand that the first thing we have to solve now is whether there is a problem. In the case of innovation, the cost is higher, which is acceptable.

  However, you have to understand that the target customers of our factory are not only the Brazilian army. You must know that the Brazilian army alone cannot support our such a large artillery factory.

  If we want to survive, our products must go international and compete with products from European and American countries. If the cost is higher than theirs, it will not be conducive to our sales.

  Technical workers in the United States are very easy to use, but the cost is too high.

  So, I hope you can find a way to train us more cheap local skilled workers.

  Used to reduce our production costs. do you understand me? "
