Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 433 Take what you need

  Fang Lang, who was performing impromptu in the office, glanced at General Crook's reaction inadvertently, and saw the other party's expression constantly changing, and finally his face turned red with excitement.

  Fang Lang knew that his performance was not in vain, a smile involuntarily appeared in his heart, and he involuntarily performed harder.

   With an excited face, he walked quickly to General Crook, grabbed the opponent's right hand, held it firmly, shook it vigorously, and said incoherently in his mouth:

   "Your Excellency, your vision and wisdom are truly admirable. I believe your future is boundless."

  General Crook, who was also in a state of excitement, readily accepted Fang Lang's compliment, forced himself to pretend to be calm, patted the back of Fang Lang's right hand holding his right hand, and said with a smile on his face:

   "That's right, it is to" serve one generation, develop one generation, pre-research one generation, and explore one generation. "

  In this way, our weapons and equipment will never fall behind, and our national defense strength will also steadily increase.

  Wait a minute, I want to record this sentence, and at the next national defense meeting, I will take it out and focus on it. We must turn this law into the guiding ideology of our "White Paper on National Defense Equipment Development". "

   As he said, he let go of Fang Lang's hand, walked quickly behind the desk, picked up a black notebook from the upper left corner, and opened a blank page. His right hand groped around his body for a while, but he couldn't find the pen.

  At this time, Fang Lang took out a pen from the pen holder on the desk at the right time, unscrewed the cap of the pen, and handed the pen to General Crook.

  General Crook, who was looking for a pen everywhere, snatched it unceremoniously, and wrote a line of Portuguese on the white paper. The content was exactly the "four generations".

   Seeing this scene, Fang Lang showed a knowing smile on his face.

  General Crook, on the other hand, seemed to be admiring a beautiful calligraphy work, looking at the line of text on the notebook without blinking, with indescribable satisfaction on his face.

At this time, Fang Lang naturally would not interrupt General Crook's narcissism, quietly put down the pen cap in his hand, quietly returned to the sofa in the reception area and sat down, continued to smoke his cigar, and hid Achieved merit and fame.

   But General Crook is obviously not a fool. After experiencing the sudden excitement, his brain gradually regained his senses, and he slowly tasted some flavors.

   Looking up at Fang Lang, he said dumbfoundedly:

   "Okay! I almost fell for your kid.

  Where is the law I summed up here! It's clearly the kid who forced it to me!

   Speak! What the **** do you mean, kid? "

  Fang Lang heard the words and looked at General Crook blankly.

   "What do you mean! Your Excellency General, what are you talking about?"

Seeing Fang Lang's refusal to admit it, General Crook glared at him fiercely, put the pen into the cap and put it back in its original place, glanced at the writing on the notebook again, and then walked slowly to the meeting room Sit on the sofa in the guest area.

  Picked up his own cigar in the ashtray, put it near his mouth and took a deep puff, and it took a long time to spit out the smoke with a satisfied face.

   "Okay, stop pretending, kid.

  You know very well what kind of person I am, so let’s not do this between us.

  I'm not a fool, have I ever said something like this, and haven't made up my mind yet?

   I have to say that the development law of this set of equipment that you summed up is very constructive. I think it is also a very good suggestion to include him in the "White Paper on National Defense Equipment Development".

  However, it is completely unnecessary to force this credit on my head. "

   Seeing this, Fang Lang also knew that General Crook had already reacted. There is no fool in this world who can be the Minister of the Navy.

   Shaking his head helplessly, he said:

   "Your Excellency, it doesn't matter who proposed this law of development, the important thing is whether this law can be implemented.

  You also know that the Fangyuan Group is behind me. If it is announced to the public that this law was discovered and proposed by me, what do you think everyone will think?

  Do you think that I proposed it just to allow Fangyuan Group to obtain more research and development funds from the government?

  Will this cause many people to stand up and oppose our inclusion of this law in the White Paper on National Defense Equipment Development? Will this cause unnecessary trouble to our national defense development in Brazil?

  And if you bring it up, you have absolutely no scruples about it.

   Not only can it be recognized by the majority of people, but it can also allow this development idea that is beneficial to the country to be implemented smoothly. At the same time, it can also allow you to achieve greater political achievements and have the opportunity to take up a higher position in the future.

  With your wise leadership, it is impossible for our defense industry not to develop rapidly.

  Are you right? "

  General Crook listened to Fang Lang's words, smoking a cigar non-stop, obviously thinking seriously about the meaning of Fang Lang's words, and after a long while, he slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and said:

   "So, you're trying to get more R&D funding from the government, right?"

  Fang Lang heard the words, his expression was instantly dull, and he looked at General Crook in disbelief. It took a long time to react, and he sighed helplessly with one hand on his forehead:

   "Your Excellency, what about the trust between people?

  Let’s put aside the research and development funding, just tell me, is there anything wrong with this law of development?

  If we continue to develop according to this law, can our national defense industry become stronger? "

   As a result, General Crook still didn't speak, but looked at Fang Lang seriously, as if he wanted to analyze whether what he said was true or false from his expression.

  Here, Fang Lang was really helpless, and finally he could only say frankly:

   "Yes, I do want to get more research funding from the government. But is there a problem?

  The research and development investment of the defense industry is funded by the government. Is there a problem?

  Besides, what we put forward is only a development idea, not to transfer funds directly to our Fangyuan Group.

  If there are other companies that are capable and able to take over certain projects, the government will allocate funds to them, and we will not have any objections!

  The ultimate goal of this development idea is to allow us to have a strong defense industry system. "

  Seeing Fang Lang's distraught look, he frankly expressed his inner thoughts. General Crook couldn't hold back anymore, and burst out laughing.

   While smiling, he still didn't forget to point Fang Lang with his finger and said:

   "Hahaha, I knew that you kid must want to use me as a weapon.

  Look, I guessed it now! "

   After laughing for a while, his expression gradually calmed down, and he nodded seriously and continued:

   "However, what your kid said makes sense.

  If, as you said, someone raises objections because of your identity, and this excellent development idea is buried, it would be a pity.

  However, considering the relationship between the two of us, wouldn't it be easy for me to suggest it? "

   I understand that General Crook said this just because he was embarrassed to take Fang Lang's research results as his own. As long as you give the other party another step, Fang Lang, who may be able to implement this matter, still doesn't understand what he should do.

   Hastily looked at General Crook seriously and said:

   "Your Excellency, this was originally the inspiration we had when we were discussing the process of independently designing and building destroyers. Although this idea was proposed by me.

   But you are also one of the participants in this idea! Since it is not suitable for me to propose, of course it should be proposed by you!

   More importantly, only your identity can attract the attention of the military circle if you put forward such a development idea. Only then can this idea be truly implemented.

  In the end, our country's defense industry can truly become stronger.

  As for me personally, if this idea can be implemented, our Fangyuan Group will definitely be able to benefit from it.

   It's a win-win situation for both of us, don't you think? "

General Crook, who was stared at by the earnest Fang Lang, did not answer Fang Lang's question immediately, but sat in his seat, smoking a cigar, obviously thinking seriously about what Fang Lang said. the words said.

  Fang Lang didn't urge the other party either. He understood that General Crook was now trying to convince himself that he agreed to take this idea as his own. From here, Fang Lang can be sure that there is absolutely no problem with the other party's character.

  In this way, time slipped away, and after about five or six minutes, General Crook slammed the cigar out in the ashtray, raised his head to meet Fang Lang's eyes seriously, nodded fiercely and said:

   "Okay, this time I will take advantage of the younger generation with the cheek.

  Don’t worry, I will definitely do my best to promote this guiding development idea for the defense industry in the Ministry of Defense.

  As for the construction order of the destroyer, it must also belong to your Fangyuan Group.

  At the same time, I will also propose to start my country's independent missile development plan, and strive to entrust this project to you Fangyuan Group. "

  Fang Lang understands that this is the same as Western capitalists donating campaign funds to politicians in exchange for politicians being elected and returning enough commercial benefits to themselves.

   It's just that what Fang Lang provided was not campaign funds, but a development idea for the defense industry. For a businessman, this deal is really a good deal.

  Although he is also a soldier, he doesn't want to be a high-ranking general who is far away from real power. Instead, he is now a powerful leader who holds a heavy army and has enough real power, which is more in line with his positioning.

   Neither looks too prominent, nor can it be ignored. He dare not take action against him easily. At the same time, he has enough influence on the National Defense Forces and the political arena.

  Such a positioning will make him more comfortable in both the military and political circles. In the military circles, you don't have to worry about him competing with you for the promotion channel, and you can become friends with him.

  In the political world, as long as he makes it clear that he does not want to enter politics, then he is the target that all politicians must win over. After all, the Social Democratic Party is now basically under the control of their family.

  Of course, some people may feel that he has been occupying this position, which may hinder the promotion of his subordinates.

However, Fang Lang didn't think so, because with his influence in the military, he had long thought of recommending his subordinates who were loyal to him to other positions of real power. A powerful military group at its core.

   At that time, his relationship in the military will definitely become intertwined, and his influence will become extremely powerful. Even, he is also looking for opportunities to extend his tentacles to the Air Force and Army.

   Among them, the aviation school is an important direction for him to penetrate into the Air Force.

   Seeing that his goal had been achieved today, Fang Lang also stood up with a smile on his face, and saluted General Crook with a military salute:

   "Thank you, General."

  General Crook also got up quickly when he saw this, and gave Fang Lang a military salute seriously.

   "I should thank you."

  The two shook hands tacitly, and everything was kept silent.
