Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 645 Letter from Home

   Qi Qingshan, who sent John Zeng away, didn't stop, and knocked on Fang Lang's door directly.

   "Boss, this is a letter from my hometown."

Fang Lang, who was sitting by the window of the hotel room, flipping through the documents and smoking a cigar, heard the words, raised his head and nodded at Qi Qingshan, took the letter casually, looked it over carefully, and found that the letter was just in an ordinary envelope Pretending to be, there is no means of secrecy such as tamper-evident wax seals.

  Fang Lang knew in his heart that there should be no secret content inside, so he opened the envelope to check it, and asked casually:

   "Has John Zeng come?"

   "Yes, boss! I have shared the information provided by Yao Mu with him. He didn't transcribe it, but just read it carefully."

   When Qi Qingshan saw Fang Lang, he didn't mean to avoid him, so he didn't leave, but continued to report.

   "Hehe... It seems that Officer John Zeng is very confident in his memory! It doesn't matter, we will do our best."

   While talking, he opened the letter. The letter was signed by Lao Qiao. Needless to say, it must be Mr. Qiao from Xiaoxinhua in Hong Kong City.

  The content of the letter is very simple. I sincerely thank Fang Lang for the gift to the elders in the family, and said that the gift has been personally delivered to the elders.

  The elders in the family liked it very much, and told him in a joking tone that other people were very envious of these gifts, but the elders were very stingy, and they didn't even want to show them to others.

What this is talking about, Fang Lang can tell at a glance, it is nothing more than that the intelligence about the peninsula has been received by his hometown, and the materials sent over have also been received. These materials were not used by his hometown at will, but according to Fang Lang's Requirements, dedicated to the peninsula contingency reserve.

   This made Fang Lang heave a long sigh of relief. Although this letter looked ordinary, it was the main purpose of his voyage to the port city.

Now seeing the elders on the opposite side, he likes the gift from this junior very much. He is really happy in his heart. As long as his hometown really prepares in advance, then although it is still very difficult for his hometown, but with the strength of the whole country, we can The materials transported by the waves above will definitely greatly improve the difficult situation in the hometown in the early days of the peninsula war.

   At least, soldiers will no longer be allowed to wear single clothes on the battlefield. With this change alone, Fang Lang feels that he has never been in vain in his life.

  However, it is a little strange that Fang Lang conveyed the words for the Governor of Hong Kong, Ge Lianghong, but did not see a response, nor did he reply. Fang Lang had nothing to say about this. After all, this is related to the foreign policy of my hometown, and it cannot be directly decided by the Governor of Hong Kong or his words.

  In the end, it still depends on the attitude of the British government towards the hometown and the result of negotiations with the British government.

  After reading the content of the letter, Fang Lang couldn't help showing a satisfied smile.

  Seeing this, Qi Qingshan was curious about what the content of the letter was, but it was not easy to find out, so he could only continue what Fang Lang said just now:

   "Understood, Boss! Speaking of it, the fate is really wonderful. I never thought that the brave little policeman I met on Stanley Street at that time would be from my hometown."

  Fang Lang refolded the letter casually, put it in the envelope, and replied with a smile:

   "Isn't this normal? People from their hometown are not brave. Do you expect those guys who don't have any beliefs and only know how to help the British colonists to make money, to be brave?"

  Thinking about it carefully, Qi Qingshan was speechless, yes! The current Hong Kong City is the territory of the British. If the Chinese who make a living here want to get ahead, apart from following in the footsteps of the British and earning a lot of money, what lofty ideals should they have?

  Even if there is such a person, the British Hong Kong government will never allow him to grow up smoothly.

   "Sure enough, the boss is still clear-headed, pointing straight to the essence."

  Hearing the words, Fang Lang waved his hands angrily and said:

   "Go, go, go, your kid is starting to learn to flatter now."

   After finishing speaking, as if thinking of something, he threw the envelope in his hand on the table, raised his eyes and looked out of the window, looking at the opposite military port from a distance, and said with deep eyes:

   "It's been 50 years before I know it, and the Lunar New Year is coming in a month. If we don't set off to return to China, we won't be able to catch up with the Spring Festival. The old man will lose his temper."

  Hearing Fang Lang suddenly mention going home for the New Year, Qi Qingshan couldn't help but glance at the envelope that Fang Lang threw on the table, and understood that Fang Lang's purpose for coming to Hong Kong City this time should have been achieved.

   "Yeah! It's been so long since I've been out, everyone is starting to miss home!"

   Seeing Qi Qingshan's expression of emotion, Fang Lang couldn't help but smile slightly, picked up the cigar, took a deep puff, got up and patted Qi Qingshan on the shoulder and said:

   "It's fake for you to be homesick, but it's true for you to miss your wife!"

  Hearing this, Qi Qingshan touched the back of his head shyly, and giggled.

   Seeing this, Fang Lang also smiled, how many wanderers who are wandering outside don't want to go home! What's more, when the Spring Festival is approaching. In this life, his home is not in the mainland, but in Brazil, he naturally wants to go home earlier to spend the Spring Festival with his parents.

   "Don't worry! Things are already busy, and the location of the museum will be finalized with Mr. Hong Kong Governor. We can set off for Brazil."

  When Qi Qingshan heard this, he was naturally very happy, but soon he seemed to think of something, and quickly said:

   "What about the election in Brazil? If we rush back to celebrate the Spring Festival, will President Dutra block us!"

Qi Qingshan is still very clear why Fang Lang organized this fleet visit, and he also understands Fang Lang's political influence in Brazil now. He is really worried that the current president will come directly to Fang Lang and let Fang Lang know He expressed his support.

  Hearing the words, Fang Lang smiled slightly, waved his hands indifferently and said:

   "The situation in the past two months should have made Mr. Dutra realize the status quo. If he is a smart person, he won't run over unwisely to make fun of himself.

  If he really comes here, I don't even have a vote for him! Don't forget, I'm a soldier, and soldiers can't participate in politics. "

  Qi Qingshan was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked at Fang Lang a little stunned. He understood what Fang Lang meant, and if the other party didn't come to him, everyone could still retain a final bit of decency.

  If the other party is really ignorant and insists on stalking, then the last love between everyone may disappear.

In the past, Qi Qingshan might have been a little afraid that the president would turn his back on him. Even if Fang Lang was really just a simple naval general, he might not have dared to offend a president who hadn't left office. However, Fang Lang's current identity He is no longer a simple soldier.

  The influence their Fang family has in Brazil's economic field has given Fang Lang the same decisive influence in the political arena. Even, the presidential candidate this time was selected by Fang Lang, and of course he has the right to say no to the former president.

   "I see! If this Mr. President is not sensible, I will send him away directly, so that he will not affect your mood, the boss."

  Hearing the words, Fang Lang shook his head with a smile and said:

   "Don't worry! According to the intelligence from Brazil, President Dutra should have a clear understanding of the situation he is facing.

  Although he is not an excellent politician, he still understands the most basic political rules. If I leave him at a critical time, he should understand my attitude.

  Won't just run around to make fun of yourself. "

   Regarding this, Qi Qingshan had nothing to say, and said with a noncommittal face:

   "I hope so! Otherwise, he shouldn't blame me for not giving him face."

   Seeing this, Fang Lang couldn't help but patted Qi Qingshan on the shoulder with a smile and said:

   "Okay, you don't need to think about these things, let's hurry up and finish the work in Hong Kong City, so we can go home with peace of mind!

  By the way, you can call the governor's office later, make an appointment for me, and say that I want to visit Mr. Governor of Hong Kong. "

  Hearing this, Qi Qingshan quickly stood at attention and saluted:

   "Yes, boss!"

   Looking at Qi Qingshan's back as he turned and left, Fang Lang couldn't help but smile. After the other party closed the door, Fang Lang came to the hotel window and stood still. Looking at the scenery of the Hong Kong city outside the window, he was filled with emotion. Before he knew it, they had been in Hong Kong city for almost half a month.

  The affairs of the port city have basically been arranged. Although the construction plan of the private museum has not yet been finalized, he already has a goal in mind for the address.

  The so-called investigation during this period is actually more of a deception, a casual visit to the current situation of the port city during this period. He even asked people to bring a camera to take pictures in various places in the port city, trying to preserve the scene of the port city in this period.

  The reason why I invite Mr. Governor of Hong Kong to meet now is to inform the other party that if the other party wants to help bring it to the other party, he has already brought it. My trip to Hong Kong City is coming to an end.

   Soon, Qi Qingshan brought him the news that Mr. Hong Kong Governor and he agreed to have a meeting with him at the Governor's Mansion tomorrow afternoon.

This answer was a bit unexpected to Fang Lang. He thought that the other party would find a restaurant with him for dinner and receive him purely from the level of personal friendship, but he did not expect that the Governor of Hong Kong would arrange for him to go to the Governor's Mansion during working hours talks.

  This is not about personal friendship, but pure business.

There are two situations in this situation. One is that you have offended the other party, and the other party does not want to have personal contact with you; the other possibility is that the Governor of Hong Kong has some business to discuss with him, but as a visiting Brazilian naval officer, What business can the other party have to discuss with me?

   Could it be that the negotiations between the British government and his hometown are not going well, and the British want to organize exercises between the navies to increase the pressure on the other side.

   But when Reinhardt met with himself these days, he never mentioned that the British Navy had plans to conduct exercises!

   Fang Lang was also a little confused for a while.

  However, he soon thought of another possibility. Could it be that the words he helped deliver to his hometown have already played a role? If the negotiations between my hometown and the British go well, will the Governor of Hong Kong invite himself to the Governor's Mansion for talks?

   If yes, what will he talk about?

   Soon, Fang Lang thought of a possibility, and hurriedly said to Qi Qingshan:

   "Immediately ask the president of the Hong Kong City Branch of Global Morgan Bank to meet with the Financial Secretary and tell me after making an appointment. We need to hurry up and finalize the address of the museum?"

  Qi Qingshan was taken aback when he heard the words, and didn't understand for a while, why Fang Lang suddenly asked to meet the Financial Secretary, and the appointment was not in his own name. Is there anything shady about the location of this museum?

Here I have to talk about the land policy of the British Hong Kong government. Perhaps in the minds of many people, the British Hong Kong government belongs to a capitalist country, and the land system should be privately owned. If you want to buy land, you only need a private transaction, and you can go to the government to register. OK.

   But in fact, it is not the case. As a colony of the British, Hong Kong City's land is privately owned by the British royal family. The land in Hong Kong City can only be leased out, not sold directly.

Originally part of the land in the New Territories and Kowloon was leased by the British Hong Kong government, and the British royal family had no ownership of the land here. However, in order to confirm the rights, the British Hong Kong government directly and unreasonably transferred most of the land in Kowloon and the New Territories to Belonged to the British Crown.

  Only a part of farmers in the New Territories were more united and united against the robbery of the British Hong Kong government, and finally retained their ownership of the land through hard struggle. This is also the reason why only the villagers in the New Territories had Ding rights in the entire Hong Kong City.

And Fang Lang's favorite place is near Victoria Peak in Hong Kong City. Needless to say, if you want to win the land here, you must deal with the Lands Department of the Hong Kong Government, and the Lands Department of the British Hong Kong Government is An agency of the Financial Secretary.

   Fang Lang, an outsider, has no direct relationship with the people of the Lands Department. It is of course inconvenient to apply for land directly from the other party.

   Therefore, Fang Lang can only directly meet with the Financial Secretary through Global Morgan Bank, and then through the Financial Secretary to the Lands Department for approval of the land.

  Although Qi Qingshan didn't understand why Fang Lang wanted to meet with the Financial Secretary, since the chief ordered him, he must of course carry it out unconditionally, so he took the order and left without asking further questions.

  That night, when the president and financial secretary of the Hong Kong City Branch of Global Morgan Bank were having dinner at the Jialin Building of the Peninsula Hotel, they happened to meet Fang Lang who also came for dinner.

  Seeing Fang Lang, of course the president of the Hong Kong City Branch of Global Morgan Bank must try his best to curry favor.

   "Hey! Boss, what a coincidence? Are you eating here too?"

   Hearing someone calling him Fang Lang, he looked at his subordinate in surprise.

   "Carioca, what a coincidence? Are you meeting guests here?"

   Carioca is an American banker hired by Universal Group from the United States. Hearing the boss's greeting, he quickly got up and warmly stretched out his hand to the boss:

   "Yes, boss, today I happened to have dinner with Mr. McCall, the Financial Secretary of Port City. I didn't expect such a coincidence to meet you here."

  Fang Lang also reached out to shake Carioca's hand very unexpectedly, and looked at McCall and said:

   "Oh! Is this Mr. McCall, the director of the Financial Department of Hong Kong City? Hello! Nice to meet you! I'm Fang Lang!"

  Hearing this, Financial Secretary McCaul was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly reacted. After looking at the two of them strangely, he straightened his clothes, slowly got up and stretched out his hand to Fang Lang with a smile:

   "Hello, General Fang! I have known you for a long time, and it is a pleasure to meet you!"
