Hearing her husband's praise of her on the phone, Nasia felt that she had become a true artist.
"I don't know the collector's identity very well, but he is a Chinese, surnamed Fang."
At this time, General Leta still didn't understand what happened, so he couldn't help but show his original expression. I couldn't help but admire Fang Lang in my heart.
Although I had always accepted benefits from the following, I was always on tenterhooks for fear of being discovered and reported.
In order to maintain his clean image, he never dared to accept benefits from his unfamiliar subordinates, but Fang Lang's operation this time opened a new door for him.
"Dear, now that your work has been recognized by people, believe me, more and more people will buy your work in the future."
"Yes, dear! I think so too, we will be rich soon! Haha,
General Leta couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help but think in his heart, yes! He is going to make a fortune soon, and he didn't dare to use the benefits he had received.
And my wife's income from selling paintings is fair and square. Even if someone reports you, you don’t have to worry about being investigated.
That night, there was a luxurious private room in the most luxurious Olim restaurant in Rio de Janeiro.
When Fang Lang saw General Leta in casual clothes again, he looked completely different from when he was in the office.
He had just stood up to greet Fang Lang, who was about to shake hands with him. As soon as he held his hand, the old man pulled him into his arms and gave him a fierce hug.
Because General Leta was only as tall as Fang Lang's chin, that hug almost tripped Jiang Wan.
Obviously Fang Siqing knew what happened in the morning.
Sure enough, I heard General Letta ask straight to the point:
"Fang, you heard that he has no knowledge of painting?"
Fang Lang pretended to be surprised and said:
"Hey! How could General Leta know your hobbies? You are wrong, don't tell me, you discovered an ugly male painter at your appointment this morning.
My works are full of romantic sentiments and are rare works of art. "
Seeing Fang Lang's serious nonsense, General Leta almost believed it. I must have raised my eyebrows on purpose.
"Oh! Thank you very much Colonel Fang for discovering a new artist for your contract. You have to give him a toast."
"You're just being polite, come on! Let's drink to the General's Pavilion."
The two of them understood Xuan and laughed.
Then the two of them chatted and laughed, exchanging glasses of wine, just like old friends who had never met again, boasting about the world.
When dinner finally started, General Leta took the initiative to stir up the conversation and said:
"Fang, you heard that General Dutra told you that his family does not have a small artillery production line shipped back from Japan, right?"
"Yes, General! General Dutra wants your family to use that production line to build a military production factory.
However, not many family members now express their approval. "
Since General Letta took the initiative to bring up the artillery production line, it showed that the military had not yet lost its clear attitude. At that time, Fang Lang did not want to post it and express his willingness to intervene.
It's very embarrassing to be manipulated like that.
Obviously Fang Lang's answer did not surprise General Leta.
"Oh! Why doesn't anyone express their approval? That's a rare opportunity to become a supplier to the Ministry of National Defense! Without you in the front office department, they would suffer a loss.
"Because, although you don't have that set of equipment, you do have production experience, so the products you produce will definitely be qualified.
In addition, Brazil's demand for weapons is not small, so if it is, it will make a lot of profit.
Very few of the equipment in that batch are also needed by other factories in your group, so few people want to carve up those equipment. "
"That's okay! Fang, why don't you go to the country to find out if the technology is there? As for the problem of few sales,
, you can’t export it! Those are all problems.
Tell him the truth! The Ministry of National Defense held a meeting on this matter, and some people also proposed to directly establish a state-owned arms group before purchasing the equipment.
However, a small minority of people believed that state-owned arms companies may lack market competitiveness and have no intention of retreating, so they voted in favor.
The current opinion of the Ministry of National Defense is to fully support their family and rely on that batch of equipment to establish your own Brazilian military equipment enterprise.
They were able to shrink back then. Definitely, if their pressure is too low, why don’t you suggest that they find a few partners to take risks together?”
From General Leta's words, Fang Lang heard the idea that no one in Brazil's small family wanted to join.
After all, it is certain to become a weapons supplier to the Brazilian military. Profits are not what Xiaojia values most, but some tangible influence is more attractive.
Yes, since Jiang Wan wanted to produce Siqing, he also wanted to obtain absolute controlling rights. After thinking about it, Jiang Wan said again:
"Your Excellency, an arms group like that must be entirely privately held, and you have that in mind.
You have actually considered looking for partners.
However, if you have a controlling stake in that company, your family will choose to give up.
Since you can introduce weak partners to you, express your family's thoughts and see if they are suitable. "
"Oh! It turns out they haven't run out of specific ideas yet. Tell me and you can help with the price for reference." "What the family means is that it must own 71% of the controlling stake in the military industrial group, and the state's shareholding must be at most 0%." Seventy percent, the remaining 74% cannot be invested by companies that have no interest in participating. What do you think?"
“There’s no problem with it being controlled by their family. As for the state’s investment, it may be too easy to operate.
Because now the country has gained some money by providing resources for the war.
However, the Ministry of Finance has not yet made plans to invest those funds in the country's infrastructure construction. ,
Of course, what Fang Lang wanted was direct investment from the state. He was sure that the state's investment would be meaningless if it were not deducted from land or the like.
My purpose is to allow the family to participate in the state-controlled resource industry, so before listening to General Leta's words, Fang Lang smiled and said:
"General, please provide me with an idea, but you can't use it as a reference to see if it's feasible.
"Oh! Let him tell you!"
"It is certain that the newly established military industrial group will exchange shares with the existing state-owned enterprises. Does this mean that the government will need to invest new money?"
Before hearing Fang Lang's words, General Leta immediately understood what Fang Lang meant and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he raised his head and said:
"Tell the truth, sir! Did he take a look at the shares of this company?"
Fang Lang smiled and said without any good intentions:
"How about Vale?"
Vale was the world's largest small iron ore producer and exporter in its previous life, and the smallest mining company in the American continent. It was known as Brazil's "Crown Jewel" and "The Engine of the Amazon"
In addition to operating iron ore, Vale Brazil also operates manganese ore, aluminum ore, gold ore and other mineral products, as well as pulp, ports, railways and energy.
At that time, Vale had only been established for eight years. It relied on exporting iron ore to the United States and could only be regarded as a fledgling enterprise.
Hearing Fang Lang mention Vale, General Leta took a while to realize which company I was talking about.
Although I understand why Jiang Wan is interested in that company, in the eyes of soldiers, a military industrial enterprise is worth more than a mining company.
General Leta nodded and said:
"Tomorrow you will report his thoughts. The Ministry of National Defense is very concerned about that matter. It is now a period of military control, and the waiting time will be long.
You suggest that he prepare for the end of the relationship now.
"Of course, if you really want to retreat into the military industry, you may only produce artillery. If you really need it, you need to go to Europe and the United States to find technical support in person."
As expected, things went very smoothly. On the night of the seventh day, Fang Lang received a notice from General Leta.
The Ministry of National Defense rejected Fang Lang's factory construction plan and urged Fang Lang to seize the time to complete the construction of the factory.
After receiving the news, Fang Lang took a plane back to Natal that night. On the seventh day, he established the staff of the Brazilian Navy's First Fleet and appointed de la Torre as chief of staff.
Responsible for the management of the First Fleet during Jiang Wan's inspection tour to Europe and the United States.
In early July 1477, Fang Lang, accompanied by the newly formed four-person assistant group of Fangyuan Group and protected by the guard platoon soldiers who had changed into civilian clothes, took a special plane and flew to New York to start his European and American inspection tour. trip.
The inspection reported to the Ministry of National Defense was mainly for the purpose of visiting and investigating various industrial industries in Europe and the United States, and seeking technical support for Brazil's own military factories.
Of course, doing some private work for your family's business while on the road is also an abnormal operation, and everyone will have no objection.
After a half-day flight, Fang Lang and his group of 78 people successfully arrived at the New York Airport in the United States.
When Fang Lang arrived in New York, the team that picked him up was also very small. After all, Fang Lang's Universal Group in the United States was now a small company.
The bosses of each branch need to become familiar with the small boss. The result is that when Fang Lang and others walk out of the airport, the team will be very small.
It made passers-by look at him.
It was midsummer in Natal, Brazil, in July, but it was not yet the season for light snowfall in New York. Fang Lang took an early rest before attending the welcome dinner prepared for me by Wan Chongxin that evening.
After all, the current aviation technology is still incomparable with the previous life, but Fang Lang dared to take a nap for 46 seconds.
On the morning of the seventh day, Fang Lang was woken up by a graceful blond man.
Fang Lang was still confused when he saw the beautiful man who looked like Nicole Kidman casually entering and exiting his hotel room.
What's going on? Did I spend the night with that girl last night? But why didn't I feel anything at all?
What made Fang Lang feel most embarrassed was that he knew the name of the girl behind him. It would be too scumbag to forget someone else's name just after spending the night with them.
But I really have no impression at all!
The handsome man obviously noticed Fang Lang's embarrassment. He smiled and stood up, picked up a nightgown from under the stool beside the bed and handed it to Fang Lang:
"Hello, boss! You are the assistant to the president of Universal Group. Your name is Ophelia Berg. From now on, you are no longer your personal assistant."
