Fang Lang knew in his heart that in fact, even if he did not participate in this matter, it would soon be promoted by others. Therefore, instead of feeling sorry for himself, it would be better to take advantage of the opportunity to seek greater benefits for himself first.
After taking out the Justice Cup and adding a cup of tea to Joseph Clark, Fang Lang slowly said:
"The current society is still a capitalist society, and the governments of various countries are also capitalist governments, and what needs to be protected are the interests of the bourgeoisie.
If the U.S. government can help them stabilize the local political situation and provide for the local people's food and clothing, then the U.S.'s arrogant behavior will not be so important.
Even when the local government was unable to resist, the U.S. government itself took the initiative to help them solve the problem. I don’t think they would think this is an act of transgression, but would welcome it? "
These words made Joseph Clark fall into deep thought, and he soon realized that if it was really like what Fang Lang said, these governments might wish that the U.S. government could immediately step forward to help them!
"But, does this have anything to do with what you said about General Marshall introducing business to us?
The White House should send the US military to directly carry out this kind of thing! "
Fang Lang smiled when he heard this and said:
"The direct participation of the US military is of course a good choice. But in this case, the political meaning will be too obvious.
And if the U.S. Department of Defense or local European governments hire some professional military consultants or mercenaries from a military contracting company with sufficient strength.
Come to implement this plan to attack the armed opposition forces. Do you still feel that you are transgressing? Do you think this is an interference by the US government in the internal affairs of the local government? "
Joseph Clark's eyes widened when he heard this, with a shocked expression on his face. But soon the shock turned into excitement. He slapped his thigh and stood up from his seat. He danced to Fang Lang and said:
[In view of the general environment,
"Oh, buy! This... this... this is really a huge business! Boss, you are a genius."
Looking at Joseph Clark, who was already a little incoherent, Fang Lang smiled reservedly, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and slowly put it down.
In fact, the reason why Fang Lang mentioned this business to Joseph Clark was because he accidentally thought of it during the past few days of reflection.
After all, his words may have promoted the emergence of Lao Duism in advance, although this can bring him huge benefits. But the souls from later generations are still unwilling to let Americans taste the taste of the world's police right away. In the future, they will become even more unscrupulous.
Therefore, he came up with this plan to hire a military contracting company, which would not only allow his military contracting company to develop rapidly, but also allow him to make more money.
At the same time, it can also avoid the US government directly sending troops. If the U.S. government hadn't sent troops directly, wouldn't it have needed to build so many military bases in European countries?
If the United States could deploy fewer military bases around the world, would it greatly weaken the political influence of the United States?
Of course, my own company may not be able to take such a large order. Coupled with my identity and background, it also determines that the US government will not absolutely trust me.
But what does it matter? At least he can make a lot of money from the United States' intervention. It can also reduce the political influence of the United States.
And another advantage of turning this kind of government military behavior into commercial behavior is that even if the military contracting company needs to establish some military bases during the operation.
This kind of company's military base and the government's military base are two completely different concepts. Once governments regain control of the situation, they will certainly not allow these companies to have such a military base on their own soil.
For the sake of its own profits, the company cannot maintain the operation of a military base that it does not need for a long time. after the task is over
, they will definitely take the initiative to cancel these bases.
As a result, will the number of common military bases in the United States be greatly reduced in future generations?
In other words, if his plan is implemented, Fang Lang may turn the military operation carried out by the US government to contain the Soviet Communist Party into a military operation to contain US hegemony.
Of course, this containment is invisible. After all, no one in the current U.S. government knows that after the implementation of the Lao-Du Doctrine, the U.S.-Soviet hegemony will allow the United States to have so many military bases around the world.
All of this is a secret that only Fang Lang knows, and must not be shared with anyone else. Seeing Joseph Clark's face flushed, he was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
Fang Lang pressed his hand and gestured with a smile:
"This is just an idea of mine right now, and its specific realization depends on your efforts.
That’s why I asked you to hire some influential figures from retired American generals to serve as the company’s consultants.
Only with these people coming forward to help us lobby the government can we win this huge business. It doesn’t matter how much money we need to invest in the early stage. As long as we can win this business, our efforts will be returned hundreds of times. . "
After Fang Lang stated that funds were not a problem, Joseph Clark seemed more confident and said directly without hesitation:
"Boss, I understand what you are thinking!
I think the feasibility of this matter is very high. Please rest assured that I will definitely try my best to win this business. "
Fang Lang smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood.
General Joseph Clark seemed to be greatly stimulated. He finally controlled his emotions, stood up and said to Fang Lang:
"Boss, I'll go down first!"
Seeing that the other party really didn't intend to talk to him about his nephew Charlie Cole, Fang Lang also felt a little strange. Since he was entrusting such an important matter to the other party, of course he still had to untie his knot. of.
Therefore, in the end, Fang Lang decided to take the initiative to speak. He stretched out his hand and pressed down, indicating that the other party should sit down, and then said calmly:
"General Clark, don't worry. I have a private matter I want to talk to you about."
Joseph Clark, who was still immersed in excitement across from him, was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly reacted and said to Fang Lang hesitantly:
"Boss, do you want to say something about Charlie Cole?"
Fang Lang nodded when he heard this and said slowly:
"This incident makes me very embarrassed. The other party made such racist remarks and insulted my girlfriend at the banquet I hosted, which made me very angry.
However, considering that he is your nephew, it is hard for me to take action against him. so......."
Before Fang Lang could finish speaking, Joseph Clark had already spoken directly:
"Boss, you don't have to look at my face, I don't have such a nephew.
Moreover, he didn’t just make relevant remarks about you and your girlfriend. I have known for a long time that this guy is a complete white supremacist.
Even my uncle doesn't know how many times he called him a yellow-skinned monkey. If his father hadn't understood some things, our two families would have cut off all contact. "
Fang Lang didn't expect that this Charlie Cole would even discriminate against his uncle. He was really weird. But it can also be found from Joseph Clark's words that the other party still has a certain favorable impression of Charlie Cole's father.
This actually made Fang Lang originally guess that Charlie Cole's transformation had a certain relationship with family education, and there was some discrepancy. Since this was the case, Fang Lang couldn't help but hesitate in his heart as to whether it was necessary for him to be cruel to the family.
It seemed that Joseph Clark had no intention of interceding with him. He asked with some confusion:
"Didn't their family ask you for help recently? After all, their business must have been greatly affected now!"
Hearing this, Joseph Clark sighed at Fang Lang with a wry smile. He picked up the tea on the table and drank it in one gulp. After calming down his breath, he slowly said:
"Why didn't you ask us for help? However, the fault in this matter is Charlie Cole himself. As an adult, he should be responsible for his actions.
As for your Universal Group, stop cooperating with their family business. These are normal business practices. From beginning to end, you never harmed his personal safety because of his remarks.
In my opinion, this is already a very restrained act of revenge. What else can I say? "
Fang Lang watched Joseph Clark's expression carefully, making sure that the other party was not lying or concealing anything, and that what he said were the true thoughts in his heart. No wonder the other party didn't come forward to talk to me.
It turned out that from the other party's perspective, everything he did was taken for granted and he did not do anything out of the ordinary.
Fang Lang really wanted to tell him that his revenge had not begun yet! But now that he knew the other party's attitude, Fang Lang also hesitated.
To be honest, Joseph Clark can now be regarded as his general, and the military contracting company he is responsible for is also a very important part of his industry.
If he directly takes action to humanely destroy his nephew Charlie Cole, the other party may not say anything in person, but some bad thoughts will definitely arise in his heart. This is what Fang Lang doesn't want to see.
However, if I don't do anything, I won't be able to swallow this breath in my heart. well! It’s really hard to be a human being!
"How do you know the current status of their company?"
"I heard it is very difficult. Many companies we cooperate with have severed cooperation with them. My wife has also been anxious for a while, but there is nothing we can do."
Fang Lang knew that the actual situation of Cohen Company was much more serious than what Joseph Clark said. Because of Alvin Rockefeller's statement, Cole's stock price plummeted the next day.
The assets in the stock market directly evaporated by 70%. Companies that cooperated with them announced the termination of cooperation one after another, and their business volume also shrank significantly. Banking institutions also began to stop issuing loans to Cole Industries and began to collect loans that were about to expire. loan.
This forced Cole Industries to choose to sell off part of its business to stabilize people's hearts. In just half a month, Cole Industries' company size had shrunk by 60%.
And the root of all this is simply because of some discriminatory remarks made by Charlie Cole at the banquet. As for whether this loyal supporter of white supremacy feels regret, Fang Lang doesn't know.
"Please give me my condolences to Mrs. Clark."
After understanding Joseph Clark's attitude towards this matter, Fang Lang was no longer interested in continuing to struggle with this matter.
After hearing Fang Lang's words, Joseph Clark stood up, gave Fang Lang a military salute and said:
"Boss, please rest assured that this matter will not affect my loyalty to you. Our Clark family is a yellow family of Indian origin and is not a vassal of the Cole family.
Will not stand on the same side as the Cole family. "
This statement completely expresses Joseph Clark's attitude towards this matter, especially the statement that the Clark family is a yellow family of Indian origin, which expresses his dissatisfaction with this kind of white supremacy.
Fang Lang stood up and returned a military salute:
"It's an honor for us to continue fighting together!"
After sending Joseph Clark away, Fang Lang sat in the office and thought for a long time. Because of the existence of John Clark, he was still very grateful to the Clark family, so it was not like he was at odds with the Clark family.
This is the best result now. As for how to deal with Charlie Cole in the end, Fang Lang has not yet thought about it. Now his idea is to see if it is possible for Cole Industries to rise again after this blow.
If the other party can rise again, he will definitely push the other party down without hesitation, because this time everyone has formed a bridge. If the other party can make a comeback,
opportunity, and in the end, the other party may become your opponent. This is something Fang Lang will never allow.
Time passed quickly. Due to the rainy season in Brazil, the domestic operations against the Eddie brothers' armed forces had to be suspended, giving the other side a rare opportunity to recuperate.
The acquisition of Caterpillar initiated by the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family was also successfully completed. In just one month, the factory that produced bulldozers and tank chassis changed hands twice and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Universal Group.
Immediately afterwards, all the designers of the company were gathered together, and Fang Lang personally organized a technical seminar that lasted for nearly a week, focusing on the research of new asphalt concrete material construction machinery.
At the same time, Fang Lang also introduced his vision for future construction machinery to everyone, including bulldozers, excavators, shield machines, etc. Of course, Caterpillar’s original advantageous machinery such as generator sets and mining machinery have not been left behind. .
In contrast, at the Bank for International Settlements headquartered in Switzerland, changes in shareholder information appear to be more secretive. Apart from a brief notification to the central banks of several other governments, this matter did not cause any waves at all.
After all, the Bank for International Settlements is basically closed now.
Immediately afterwards, due to the promotion of the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family, US President Adu officially announced the birth of Lao-Duism in a speech in Congress at the end of February, and officially began the decades-long chill. This is nearly twenty days earlier than in history.
Military contracting companies, with the unremitting efforts of General Clark and the help of the new Secretary of State Marshall, recruited several influential generals from retired American generals.
The lobbying team composed of these people successfully persuaded the U.S. Department of Defense to contract some more dangerous military tasks to foreign countries as an experiment in private military contracting.
If the expected results can be achieved, this new model will be widely adopted in the future.
