Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 86 Fangyuan Group

   After Fang Lang finished chatting with his father-in-law in Genoa, he met with the heads of Global Steel and Global Shipbuilding in Genoa. Accompanied by several people, he visited his own steel factory and shipyard.

  Looking at the blast furnace of the steel factory and the slipway of the shipyard, Fang Lang couldn't help feeling agitated. This can be regarded as poaching the corner of capitalism!

  I can't help but feel a little proud. After I integrate the advanced technology and talents of various factories in Britain, America, Germany and Italy, I will definitely be able to establish my own steel and shipbuilding industry in Brazil.

  With the addition of containers, container ships, port machinery, and terminals, will there be a chance to become a shipping king! I feel very excited just thinking about it.

   and several people arranged to recruit manpower, after the task of building a new shipyard and steel factory in Brazil. A few more people were invited to have a big meal, because the father-in-law was present. Some one-stop programs were forced to cancel.

  Fang Lang, who returned to the fleet, directly contacted his father in Brazil, asking his father to set up a Fangyuan Group in the name of the family, and contacted the mayor of Sao Paulo.

  Fangyuan Group intends to jointly establish a steel factory and a shipyard in Brazil with U.S. Universal Steel Corporation and Universal Shipbuilding Corporation, and seek preferential and supportive policies from the government.

  All enterprises except the media in Brazil's cigarette factory, grain and oil, sugar refining, real estate, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, fertilizers and other industries will be placed under the management of Fangyuan Group.

  As for why another Fangyuan Group was arranged to be established instead of investing directly in the name of Universal Group, this was a decision made by Fang Lang in combination with Brazil's later historical situation.

  Before 1964, the Brazilian government had been committed to developing its own national capital. Therefore, the support for domestic capital is very strong, and foreign capital has a certain degree of vigilance.

  From the end of World War II to 1964, because of the outbreak of the Cold War, Brazil was repeatedly impacted by two ideologies. The domestic political situation was turbulent, the economy was stagnant, and inflation was severe.

  Actually, it is not suitable for large-scale investment. This is why the Brazilian economy has always been stagnant, and after the Brazilian army began a military dictatorship in 1964.

  Brazil's military began to implement the ruling policy of military governing politics and experts governing the economy. Under the management of economic experts, the country began to absorb foreign capital on a large scale.

   After transforming the original inward-looking economy into an export-oriented economy, Brazil's economy began to develop at a high speed, and it stepped onto the stage of a world economic power.

  Of course, as a traverser, Fang Lang believes that there should be some changes in the history of his intervention. However, at the same time, he deeply realized the irreversibility of the general trend of history.

   Therefore, he had to be cautious about every decision he made. This is also the reason why he finally decided to stay in the army instead of retiring directly to become a capitalist.

   It is really surviving in Brazil, and the influence of the army is too great. In a country where military coups happen at every turn, a consortium without the ability to protect itself is just a giant baby crossing the street holding gold ingots, who can be robbed at any time.

  Of course, before 1964, the military had always achieved its goal of strengthening the country by supporting civilian politicians. However, when they found that no matter how the civil servants changed, it was just a matter of changing the soup without changing the medicine.

   They completely lost patience. Finally, under the instigation of the CIA of the United States, they directly turned the table. Began to come to power and carried out a military dictatorship that lasted for 21 years.

   And during this military dictatorship, it was a period of massive influx of foreign capital.

  Fang Lang established an internal and external joint venture such as Fangyuan Group and Global Group, which can flexibly respond to different political environments in different periods. Simply put, during the period when the government was developing national capital, the major shareholder of the joint venture company was Fangyuan Group.

  When foreign capital occupies a dominant position, Universal Group is the major shareholder of the joint venture company. However, no matter how it changes, it is Fang Lang's own company.

   Moreover, his military background is the company's best protection. As long as he still has military power, no one dares to touch him.

  After explaining the company's affairs, Fang Lang finally had time to calm down and think about the tasks assigned by General Morais. Fang Lang himself is very positive about joining the Pacific battlefield.

  However, General Chambers said that he would ask MacArthur for his opinion, and Fang Lang just listened to it as a courtesy. It is impossible for Chambers to ask the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces in the Eastern Battlefield for the opinion of a Brazilian navy captain.

   Success or failure depends on God's will. If General Morais can really come forward through the Brazilian government to achieve this goal, Fang Lang is of course happy to see it succeed.

   Thinking of this, Fang Lang no longer struggled, and directly contacted Reinhardt.

   "Fang, have you returned to Italy yet?"

   Hearing Fang Lang's news obviously made Reinhardt very happy. After all, the two are now not only comrades-in-arms, but also business partners.

   "Yes, my friend, where are you enjoying the fruits of victory recently! I heard that French girls are very enthusiastic. You can't enjoy it alone."

  Fang Lang, who was rarely relaxed, also joked with Reinhardt.

  Unexpectedly, Reinhardt started to complain.

   "Hi! Don't mention it, I was transferred."

  Reinhardt's words moved Fang Lang's heart, it couldn't be such a coincidence!

   "What do you mean? Being transferred at this time? Where are you going!"

   Sure enough, Reinhardt's answer did not exceed Fang Lang's expectations, so there is no need to think about how to lead the topic now.

   "Pacific Fleet, now only the **** little Japan is left. After the battle, you can enjoy the fruits of victory with peace of mind."

   Fang Lang pretended to be puzzled and said:

   "You stayed well in the Atlantic Ocean, why did you ask you to go to the Pacific Ocean?"

   Reinhardt's answer was very straightforward, and he didn't have the so-called gentlemanly demeanor that he liked to go around when he first came into contact.

   "The Yankees despise the Pacific Fleet's low combat effectiveness, inconsistent equipment, and heavy logistical supply pressure, so they are reluctant to let us join the Pacific battlefield.

  So, the Ministry of the Navy has transferred all our American ships to the Pacific Fleet, so that the equipment can be guaranteed uniformly! There is no reason to refuse us to join the Pacific battlefield! "

   Regarding Reinhardt's answer, Fang Lang already knew it in his heart, so he was not surprised. Quietly lead the topic to himself:

   "I really envy you, and I have the opportunity to be awarded for meritorious service. I also want to participate in the Pacific battlefield! There is no chance."

  Fang Lang's words moved Reinhardt's heart. To be honest, after the last experience, Reinhardt has slowly begun to face up to his own abilities and is no longer blindly arrogant.

  At the same time, he admired Fang Lang's ability to command sea battles. Not everyone can command a naval battle for the first time and have such a record. He couldn't help but solemnly said:

"Are you serious?"

   Reinhardt's tone made Fang Lang understand that he was interested. Fang Lang didn't hide anything, and expressed his thoughts.

   "Of course I'm serious! If you don't fight a war, how can you get promoted and make a fortune, and, as you know, I'm Chinese, so of course I want to fight Little Japan."

   Regarding Fang Lang's statement, Reinhardt believed that he was telling the truth. Still reminded:

"Fang, you have to think about it carefully. The fighting style of the Japanese is completely different from that of the Germans. I heard that these people are crazy. There is a kamikaze special attack team. They are all neurotics who directly drive planes into warships." .”

   Of course Fang Lang, the Japanese kamikaze agent, has heard of this. But the Japanese are not afraid of death, so someone else would be afraid of death! Even if the Japanese did not attack him, he would not let the Japanese go, so he said without hesitation:

   "So what? Our anti-aircraft firepower is not a display. Don't you think I can't deal with Little Japan."

   Reinhardt could hear Fang Lang's confidence and his desire to fight from Fang Lang's tone.

   "Of course not, your command ability is obvious to all. Do you really want to participate in the Pacific battlefield?"

   Reinhardt's reconfirmation made Fang Lang understand that he really cares. He threw out his difficulties in a timely manner.

   "It can be false, I have already called for a fight, but the Americans disagree."

  Since Fang Lang has already invited the battle, he must be serious. Thinking about Fang Lang's miraculous performance on the battlefield, Reinhardt directly invited:

   "If you are willing to join the Pacific Fleet, I can talk to you for you. My father has a very good relationship with Admiral Fraser of the Pacific Fleet."
