Mayor Ewald Dursley was very puzzled by Fang Lang's thoughts and took the initiative to ask:
"General Fang, why are you willing to let your company spend an extra sum of money to help workers pay for medical insurance?
Shouldn't these be purchased by the workers themselves? "
Fang Lang's original idea was actually to add more patients to the hospital, but after learning that most people did not have the opportunity to enjoy medical services, he was very surprised, so he also hoped that he could do something for everyone.
There is no way that after all the Chinese immigrate here, they will end up even more miserable than in their hometown, with no way to enjoy medical services!
Therefore, the first way he thought of was to buy medical insurance.
But he didn't know whether Brazil's medical insurance had such a product, so he could only think of asking Chen Hongqing for his opinion first.
In fact, what Fang Lang didn't know was that later Brazil proposed the idea of free medical care for all in 1964, and in 1988 it was written into the constitution.
Although the policy is a good policy, the government that can implement the policy is not a reliable government. It has committed corruption and misappropriated funds, resulting in Brazil's medical facilities being outdated and doctors lacking.
Although the poor can enjoy free medical care, due to insufficient number and equipment of public hospitals, shortage of beds, and overcrowded hospitals, many patients cannot enjoy timely treatment services at all.
When the new coronavirus broke out in later generations, Brazil simply chose to lie flat, and it was impossible to accurately count the number of Brazilian people infected.
Ordinary people cannot receive effective treatment after being infected with COVID-19, and the medical system has almost collapsed.
After people were unable to get effective treatment from public hospitals, they turned to private hospitals at their own expense, which in turn further promoted the vigorous development of private hospitals.
Most wealthy Brazilians purchase private medical insurance services to enjoy more considerate medical services from private hospitals.
Hearing Mayor Ewald Dursley's question, Fang Lang certainly couldn't answer directly. It was to add more patients to the hospital.
Therefore, he said without hesitation:
"Everyone in Brazil has the right to health care, right?"
As a politician, Mr. Mayor was greatly shocked after hearing Fang Lang's words, and he said with great happiness:
"Fang, you are absolutely right, every Brazilian citizen should have the right to enjoy medical services.
What do you think of me using this slogan as my next campaign slogan? "
Fang Lang looked at Mr. Mayor Ewald Dursley with dumbfounded eyes. He didn't expect this guy's mind to spin so fast. No wonder he was elected mayor of Natal for two consecutive years.
But this idea didn't do any harm to Fang Lang. After all, he already owned a pharmaceutical factory, and his girlfriend was studying medicine and planned to set up a private hospital for him.
If Mr. Mayor can really push the government to provide medical insurance to more people, Fang Lang certainly won't mind.
"Mr. Mayor, are you serious?
But I think this slogan should not be used in the Natal mayoral campaign, but should be used directly in the presidential campaign.
So, is Mr. Ewald Dursley interested in running for President of Brazil? "
In fact, this was a joke by Fang Lang. After all, he remembered clearly that the next president of Brazil would be Vargas.
But after Ewald Dursley heard Fang Lang's words, his eyes began to shine, and he looked at Fang Lang without blinking:
"Fang, you are absolutely right, this topic is not suitable for the mayoral election.
So are you willing to help me run for president of Brazil? "
As a member of the Social Democratic Party, Ewald Dursley is very aware of Fang Lang's influence on the Social Democratic Party, although this influence has not yet reached the greatest extent.
But as time goes by, the size and status of Nice Company become larger and larger, and Fang Lang's influence on the Social Democratic Party will also become greater and greater.
Otherwise, why would President Dutra ask Fang Lang, a rear admiral, to meet privately to seek help?
What about support?
Fang Lang didn't expect that Ewald Dursley would take his joke seriously.
However, it is indeed a very challenging thing for Fang Lang to support one of his own to become the president of Brazil.
Carefully looking at Ewald Dursley in front of him, he began to consider the real feasibility of this matter.
The more I thought about it, the more interesting it became. What could be more challenging than becoming the boss behind the scenes and controlling the political direction of a country?
But I am a Chinese. The proportion of Chinese in Brazil's population is too low now, so there are many things that I can't do too much.
If it is too radical, it may affect the living environment of the entire Chinese community in Brazil.
Treating this matter as a long-term goal is a very good choice!
"Are you sure of yourself?"
After all, not just anyone can be the president, nor can Ewald Dursley succeed just by wishful thinking or just talking. He must have political achievements that he can achieve.
Ewald Dursley also felt blessed after hearing Fang Lang's words. The thoughts that suddenly popped into his mind were not carefully considered.
When Fang Lang asked him this question, he couldn't help but start thinking seriously.
If you want to be elected president, of course you must have your own governing platform and proven political achievements.
But Ewald Dursley obviously doesn't have these, so he can't stand for election just because he wants all Brazilians to have access to medical services!
How to enjoy medical services?
How many capitalists, like Fang Lang, would agree that their factories would allocate an additional amount of funds to purchase medical insurance for workers?
If I really use this method to deliver a campaign speech, it is estimated that all capitalists will vote against me.
Without the support of capitalists, it is almost impossible to successfully be elected president.
Of course, if you are really talkative, it is not impossible to fool everyone in Brazil. But he obviously doesn't have such words.
Therefore, I could only shake my head in frustration.
Chen Hongqing, who was sitting aside and listening to the exchange between the two, was breaking out in a cold sweat at this moment.
Is it a topic related to a country’s presidential candidate that I, a migrant worker, can listen to?
After all, in this era of hometown, the head of state is not something everyone can discuss. The thousand-year-old official standard mentality makes Chen Hongqing naturally look down on officials.
But now I heard my boss and the mayor of Natal discussing in front of me whether to become the president of Brazil.
Isn't this similar to plotting a rebellion?
You won’t be silenced!
Fang Lang didn't pay attention to Chen Hongqing's reaction. He saw Ewald Dursley shaking his head and smiled:
"Mr. Ewald Dursley is not without a chance. Think about what the original Natal was like.
What is Natal like now?
Two days ago, Mr. President, in front of me, highly praised your achievements in Natal.
If you can give Natal a new look, you may have a chance to compete! "
Ewald Dursley's eyelids jumped when he heard Fang Lang's words. He swallowed hard before saying:
"But, I am implementing it according to your plan!"
Hearing this, Fang Lang was very happy. Ewald Dursley is a real person!
Last time in front of the president, I gave this credit to myself, and now I still haven't taken this credit as my own.
Fang Lang felt relieved to support such a person.
But being so honest seems to be a quality that a qualified politician should have!
Fang Lang patted Ewald Dursley's arm and said:
"I am a soldier, and I have no interest in that position, nor in the credit.
So, this is your contribution and planning instructions
White? "
In fact, what Fang Lang meant by this was not that he really wanted to support Ewald Dursley in running for president, but that he hoped that he would pay more attention to his plan for Natal and implement it seriously.
Let Fangyuan Group get sufficient returns on its investment in Natal, truly build Natal into a developed coastal city, and have a good environment after leaving the naval base.
If Ewald Dursley ran for election and faced Vargas, a former president with huge reputation in Brazil, and even the current president supported by Americans was defeated, Fang Lang didn't think he would have a chance of winning.
More importantly, the Labor Party founded by Vargas has developed very rapidly in recent years.
Although Fang Lang's Fangyuan Group established its own labor union in time, reducing the penetration of labor organizations within Fangyuan Group, other companies still established labor unions.
This organization has collected a lot of grassroots votes for the Labor Party, unless the Social Democratic Party and the National League also learn from the Labor Party and win over the bottom workers and farmers.
But this obviously violates the basic norms of these two parties.
It is no wonder that in 1964 the Brazilian government was taken over by the military and all political parties were banned.
However, after the military was decentralized in 1985, the Labor Party was immediately re-established and occupied a majority of seats, while the Social Democratic Party and the National League slowly disappeared.
In Fang Lang's eyes, the Labor Party is not his enemy. On the contrary, the Labor Party is the target of his active infiltration. This is also the purpose of establishing his own company's labor union.
One day when a suitable candidate appears, Fang Lang can ask him to take the Fangyuan Group's trade union organization to join the Labor Party, and take the opportunity to gain the right to speak in the Labor Party.
The time is not right now, because the Labor Party now is Vargas's Labor Party, which is not a democratic organization.
After joining, he must obey Vargas's command. Fang Lang does not object to Vargas' rule because he is a pragmatist and will support anything that is beneficial to him.
Including his original intention of establishing the Labor Party, which was based on the votes in the hands of the majority of workers. His Labor Party should actually be called the Industrial Party, which is different from the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. It is a thoroughly bourgeois party.
It was just to win votes and learn some practices of the Soviet Communist Party, such as establishing a large number of state-owned enterprises and establishing trade unions.
Unfortunately, this situation breeds more corruption, which is why he was soon forced to commit suicide after he came to power again.
But he is also a mature leader who has many years of experience as a dictator and does not follow the advice of others in many matters.
If Fang Lang joins his camp, he may lose his autonomy and become his vassal, which Fang Lang cannot accept.
Ewald Dursley obviously didn't understand Fang Lang's thoughts and thought that Fang Lang really wanted to support him in his presidential campaign. He said with a trembling voice:
"Do I really have a chance?"
Fang Lang smiled and said:
"Everyone has the opportunity to run for president, what matters is whether they take action.
If you really want to run for president, the first thing you have to do is change the status quo in Natal and let everyone see your ability to govern.
Then, it's up to you to convince people in your party to support your candidacy.
I can only offer some help on the ballot, you know what I mean? "
Of course, such a big matter is not something that Fang Lang can decide now. Ewald Dursley also knows this very well. Brazil is not someone's Brazil, and he will not be able to become president with anyone's support.
