In Sao Paulo in May, the weather has already brought a hint of coolness, and the coats taken off by people in the northern hemisphere have begun to appear on the residents of Sao Paulo.
This is the second time that Fang Lang has returned home after traveling through time. The first time was when he was the captain of a Brazilian navy transport ship. He was riding Blackwell's jeep home. It was the first time that he saw his original family, and he felt a little uneasy.
But this time it was completely different. There was a relaxed and natural feeling of finally returning to my hometown.
On the way from the airport to his home, Fang Lang found that Sao Paulo had changed dramatically. The changes were most obvious when he drove around the city of Sao Paulo and headed to the port of Santos.
When passing by the industrial park that he had negotiated with the city government, Fang Lang discovered that the current park was no longer what it was originally negotiated for, and was more than ten times larger than before.
After leaving the city, there are tall factories all along the road, or factories still under construction.
It was completely different from the farmland scenery I saw when I first passed by.
Fortunately, when he entered his village, the scenery returned to what he was familiar with.
Obviously, the development of Fangyuan Group deliberately avoided the village where he was born. After entering the village this time, Fang Lang found that the population of the village seemed to have decreased a lot.
Only some old people are still busy working in the fields. I guess all the villagers have gone to work in the factories during the day!
After all, the first priority recruited by Fangyuan Group is the villagers from the same village.
His own house has not changed much, and it seems that his father has no plans to change this old house.
"mom!"
When Fang Lang returned home, he habitually shouted outside the door. This had nothing to do with his status.
No matter how good you are outside, you are still your mother's son when you come home.
This cry contains so many emotions.
"Hey! Is Lang'er back?"
Soon, a crowd of people came out of the house.
Before departure, I called my home and told them that I was going home today, and repeatedly told everyone not to go to the airport to pick me up. It seems that everyone in the family has been notified and is waiting at home.
Because Zhuang Xintian was participating in training at the base, Fang Lang returned home this time with a guard platoon that had been driven back to China and retrained after making mistakes in the United States.
The adjutant Qi Qingshan serves as the commander.
The long motorcade did not attract everyone's attention. After all, these were the vehicles arranged by Fangyuan Group to the airport.
But after the car door opened, the guards with guns and ammunition scattered around and were on guard, which still shocked everyone.
Fortunately, everyone knows that Fang Lang's current identity is already extraordinary. Although he is a little nervous, he is not afraid.
Fang Lang saw everyone's reactions and quickly stepped forward to greet everyone one by one. Everyone was slowly getting used to it.
However, my grandfather had some relevant experience after all, so he seemed much more casual.
Seeing that his grandfather was still in good spirits and in high spirits, and seemed to be in better health than the last time they met, Fang Lang was very happy and pulled the old man to greet him.
The old man was obviously very happy to see that his eldest grandson had become successful. While chatting with Fang Lang, he also looked at the vigilant soldiers around him.
After spotting Qi Qingshan following Fang Lang, he proactively asked:
"Is this the boss of the Qi family? I haven't seen him in a few years, but he seems to be in much better spirits."
As an adjutant, Qi Qingshan and Fang Lang were from the same village, so he knew Fang Lang's family members.
Hearing the old man of the Fang family greeting him, he quickly stepped forward and said:
"Grandpa Fang, you still remember me! I haven't seen you for a few years, and you are getting more and more energetic.
But I'm still a little scared when I see your crutch. "
After saying that, he still looked scared.
It made everyone burst into laughter.
It turns out that Qi Qingshan and Fang Lang were very naughty when they were studying at home. They were both gangsters who did not have sex for three days. Therefore, like Fang Lang, they often enjoyed the education of Mr. Fang's crutches.
After hearing Qi Qingshan's words, Mr. Fang also laughed and cursed:
"You bastard, you've become successful now.
No wonder I heard your old man say a few days ago that he wanted to find you a wife! "
This made Qi Qingshan feel a little embarrassed, but the look of expectation in his eyes still couldn't escape Fang Lang's eyes.
Fang Lang smiled and said:
"We are all back home. You can go back to your own home to spend time with your parents and family. You don't have to follow me.
There's nothing wrong with me at home.
Hurry up and go back to see if your old man has fallen in love with that girl. "
Although they, the Chinese living in Brazil, have accepted the local Brazilian free love customs.
However, for those men and women who have not yet found a partner when they reach the age of marriage, they will still arrange blind dates in the village according to the tradition of their hometown.
Because of the shy character of the Chinese people, in fact, there are not as many people who fall in love freely than those who rely on blind dates.
This is also the main reason why this Chinese village has been able to maintain its Chinese ancestry in the third generation.
Qi Qingshan was also very happy when he heard that Fang Lang gave him a holiday. After all, this was also his hometown. When he was near his home, it was impossible not to want to go home and have a look.
After saluting Fang Lang with a military salute, he said hello to everyone.
After turning around and explaining a few words to the guard platoon leader, he couldn't wait to pick up his luggage in the car and go home.
After watching Qi Qingshan leave, everyone slowly walked into the house.
In addition to Fang Lang's mother, there are also grandfather and younger brother at home today.
My uncle, aunt and uncle's two children were also there.
My father is still at the company and has not returned. According to my mother, he will not come home until after get off work in the afternoon.
After all, Fang Xinshan is now the chairman of Fangyuan Group and is still very busy at work.
What surprised Fang Lang the most was that Fang Lang's uncle Fang Xinshui was also at home.
"Uncle, aren't you in charge of immigration and labor recruitment in your hometown?
When did you come back? "
After this period of training, Fang Xinshui looks much more mature than before.
But in front of his nephew, who is also his boss, he still behaves very casually.
"I've been back for a week, and all the work in my hometown has been smoothed out, and the relationships in various places have been opened up.
It doesn't really matter whether I'm there or not.
Didn't Hongmen tell me that they were planning to open a court in Brazil, so I rushed back in a hurry? "
Fang Lang was not surprised that Fang Xinshui knew about this. ,
After all, the other party was responsible for negotiating with Hongmen in the first place, and he was also responsible for the subsequent liaison work.
If Hongmen wants to enter Brazil, he will definitely test his tone immediately to see his attitude.
"Oh! I wonder what your attitude is towards Hongmen opening a church in Brazil?"
Although Fang Lang had already agreed in New York to let Hongmen open a church in Brazil, according to Fang Lang's plan, the family must not only get involved in the underworld completely, but also must have its own spokesperson in the underworld.
And Fang Xinshui is exactly the best person in charge of this area in Fang Lang's mind.
"If it were the original thing, I would definitely have rejected it without even thinking about it.
After all, Brazil is our territory, how can we let others interfere?
However, this time I was in my hometown and gained some experience.
It turns out that many high-level officials in the government are from Hongmen, so our labor recruitment work in our hometown went so smoothly.
It is inevitable that there will be many people from Hongmen in this immigration.
Therefore, it is impossible for us to completely deny people from Hongmen entry into Brazil. "
Fang Xinshui's experience in his hometown must have subverted many of his perceptions.
That’s why I expressed such emotion about Hongmen’s ability.
Of course, Fang Lang knew that there were many Hongmen people in the government. This was known to everyone in later generations. Even Chiang Kai-shek had joined the Green Gang in his early years.
It is not surprising that some of the officials below are from Hongmen.
"Then you said that your return was related to the Hongmen's establishment of a church in Brazil. What? Did the other party invite you to attend the ceremony?"
Unexpectedly, Fang Xinshui shook his head with a look of embarrassment and said:
"If I just watched the ceremony, I wouldn't have to rush back to Brazil from my hometown.
I have been hesitating about this matter at home for a few days, and I originally wanted to go to you for an idea.
No, you just happened to be back, so I don’t need to look for you. "
Seeing Fang Xinshui's embarrassed expression, Fang Lang couldn't help but frown. When he was in New York, Fang Jin'ao just proposed to set up a Hongmen hall in Brazil!
He didn't make any excessive demands, so why was Fang Xinshui so embarrassed?
Fang Xinshui saw a large family looking at him, and he didn't know if it was appropriate to talk about it here.
Fang Lang smiled and said:
"We are all family members, there is nothing we can't say.
If you have any difficulties, tell us and others will help you with advice. "
After hearing Fang Lang's words, Fang Xinshui gritted his teeth and said:
"This time in my hometown, I met Mr. Situ, the leader of Hongmen Mountain.
The old gentleman chatted with me a lot, and also asked us about our purpose of recruiting labor and our living conditions in Brazil.
I also revealed some of our goals to him.
Mr. Situ took great care of me, and we received his strong support in our labor recruitment work in my hometown, so I dared to let go of the labor recruitment work in my hometown.
He told me that they were opening a new Hongmen church in Brazil.
Also, I hope I can serve as the head of the Hongmen Hall in Brazil. "
"What? You are asked to be the leader of the Hongmen Hall in Brazil. Have you joined the Hongmen?"
Fang Lang didn't expect that Fang Xinshui would break such explosive news to him.
Fang Xinshui shook his head repeatedly and said:
"No! How could I make the decision on such a big matter without consulting you?"
After hearing Fang Xinshui's words, Fang Lang stood up and paced back and forth in the living room.
He had to consider the pros and cons of this matter, which was no small matter.
The benefits of joining Hongmen are definitely obvious. Once you have this identity, you can get in touch with Hongmen forces in other countries.
When operating in these countries, you can get help from local Hongmen.
Not to mention how much this help will go to.
At least it's better than diving in blindfolded.
Moreover, with this level of identity, the gang's power will definitely develop very rapidly.
Because we can directly select people from among the Hongmen brothers in the labor force to join the Hongmen church in Brazil.
If you encounter any problems in your future development in Brazil, you can also seek help from the main hall.
Of course, with the Fang family's status in Brazil, it would be better to ask for help from Fang Lang than from the Hongmen General Hall.
So, this one doesn't make much sense.
As for the disadvantage, maybe there will be an extra main hall above, which will have a certain restraint on the Brazilian hall.
I wonder if one day the main church will appoint a new church leader to take over the work of the Brazilian church.
However, this is unlikely, because according to Fang Lang's understanding, Hongmen and Qinggang are different.
Most youth gangs are composed of master-apprentice relationships and are tightly organized. If you want to join the youth gang, you must become a master. The seniority of your master in the gang will have a great impact on your status in the gang.
The Hongmen is much more relaxed than the Qinggang. All members of the Hongmen are brothers.
The hierarchy is not as strict as the Qinggang, but the freedom of each gang is still very high.
Even if the hall leader is to be changed, it will definitely be elected from the Brazilian hall.
Another bad thing is that,
You may need to hand over a portion of your profits to the main hall every year.
