At this moment, Fang Xinshui also understood Fang Lang's attitude towards both parties. He touched his chin and said, "I understand what you mean. As far as I know, we are now in contact with each other's people in Shanghai and Tianjin, but they seem to They are not willing to directly provide us with labor or immigrants, but are more willing to use money to buy medicines. Does this mean that if they become the new owners of their hometown, our labor dispatch company will have to stop accepting workers from their hometown? What?" Fang Lang glanced at Fang Xinshui in surprise. He didn't expect that his company would now have established contact with this poor relative from his hometown.
"It doesn't matter, we still have at least more than a year of golden time. During this period, the government officials will be even more crazy. Maybe after this final madness, the number of our fellow countrymen arriving in Brazil may exceed tens of millions. Considering Brazil’s current population base of less than 60 million people, this number of Chinese people is enough for us. If there are any more, it may cause a backlash in Brazil. We must stop it in moderation and not cause any problems. Unnecessary trouble. As long as the number of Chinese Chinese in Brazil reaches tens of millions, we will become a decisive force in Brazil, and no one will dare to despise us. In addition, we will vigorously cultivate and educate our own people, so that everyone can become high-quality talents , after having enough influence in the political and business circles, our position will be more stable." Seeing that Fang Lang was already prepared for the future, Fang Xinshui put aside his worries and nodded directly: "I know what to do. , but their policy will confiscate our assets, and we have a lot of funds stored in the bank in our hometown. It seems that we need to prepare early."
"It doesn't matter. We will transfer the gold and cash back to Brazil early, and at the same time transfer the banks in Shanghai to the port city. After the war in our hometown is over, we will see how to adjust our strategy based on the policies of our hometown." Fang Xinshui was a little surprised. He glanced at Fang Lang.
"Are you sure that Hong Kong City will be safe? You know, if our poor relatives really push Hong Kong City with the power of victory, I don't believe that these British people have the kind of resistance." Fang Lang heard the hatred of Britain from Fang Xinshui's words With the old contempt, it seems that after this period of development, the Brazilian Chinese have gradually begun to get rid of their original awe of foreigners mentally, which makes him very happy.
"Don't worry! Our poor relatives just have poor basic conditions now, but they are not stupid. The port city has a special geographical location and will become a window for them to communicate with the outside world in the future. They will not cut off this natural communication channel on their own. "Fang Xinshui's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with a look of surprise: "According to what you said, our company should also increase investment in Hong Kong City! The bank's move to Hong Kong City is only the first step. Our Hongyi Tang and Hong Kong Bai Cunbao of Dashengtang in Hongmen City has close business contacts. We must take this opportunity to build a bridgehead in the port city! Otherwise, when the time comes, we Brazilian Chinese who want to talk to our hometown will not be able to find one. It's so embarrassing." Fang Lang looked at Fang Xinshui next to him and smiled slightly: "You can decide these things yourself. I am very optimistic about the development prospects of Hong Kong City. Our family wants to establish contact with our hometown. Building an office in a port city is an essential step. Otherwise, with so many Chinese in Brazil, it will be difficult for us to go back to our hometown to visit our relatives. In addition to the port city, we must also find ways to expand our influence in Haojiang. Haojiang and us They are all Portuguese-speaking areas, and we have an advantage in language communication." Fang Lang will not tell Fang Xinshui yet. He has already begun to prepare for the peninsula conflict that is about to break out in the future. As a Chinese, no matter how high he is in Brazil status and how much influence the Chinese have in Brazil, it has never been able to change the overall status of the Chinese in the world.
As the hometown of all Chinese, my hometown can speak on behalf of Chinese people all over the world. Only when our hometown is strong can overseas Chinese truly stand up.
This is something that Fang Lang cannot replace no matter how hard he works in Brazil. Therefore, Fang Lang must fully support the development of his hometown and make his hometown strong. Only when his hometown is strong can overseas Chinese like them truly hold their heads high and not be bullied.
The conflict on the peninsula is a huge crisis for my hometown. Crisis, crisis. Danger naturally means opportunity. And the leaders of my hometown are all outstanding politicians and military strategists who have experienced the test of post-war. Of course they can see that. The dangers and opportunities in this.
As long as our hometown can win this conflict, it will be an unprecedented and exciting opportunity for Chinese people all over the world.
After all, the United States is now known as the world's most powerful country. If his hometown can defeat the United States, it will be an unparalleled improvement in national self-confidence. Although it is a pity that Fang Lang cannot directly stand on the side of his hometown and contribute directly, but in the It was his duty to quietly support his hometown behind his back.
Of course, Haojiang Fangxinshui is very familiar with it. After all, when Brazil was developing, there was a lack of talents proficient in Chinese and Portuguese. They came to Haojiang to poach many people.
Now when he heard Fang Lang mention Haojiang, he immediately understood that Brazil's status in Portugal must be higher than Haojiang.
Under such circumstances, if Brazilian businessmen want to invest in Haojiang, the Portuguese authorities cannot refuse. From this point alone, it is much more convenient for Brazilian capital to develop in Macau than in the British-controlled port city, at least because of resistance from the upper levels. Much smaller.
As for the Chinese capital that came to invest in Brazil, what can the Portuguese do? With the Fang family's current influence in Brazil, it is impossible for the Portuguese authorities to do anything to harm the Fang family's investment.
"Haojiang? Is it too small there?" Fang Xinshui asked uncertainly after hearing Fang Lang's words.
Fang Lang saw that his soldiers had loaded the ammunition boxes unloaded from the truck onto the transport boat. The boat was obviously deep in water due to the weight of the gold. For safety reasons, he quickly reached out and motioned for everyone to stop.
"Okay, the traffic boat can't load so much at one time. Let's send this boat over first, and the rest will wait for the next boat." After saying that, he turned to Fang Xinshui and said: "Uncle, it doesn't matter if you are small, the smaller we are The easier it is to expand one's influence. Let's discuss this issue slowly after we get back to the ship. Now I need you to help me follow the traffic boat to escort these things. You must make sure that everything is safely on the ship." Fang Xinshui heard this, He also understood that it was really not the right time for the two of them to continue communicating here. He glanced at the waterline of the traffic boat and looked at these neat crates with some surprise.
Although they look like ammunition, Fang Xinshui is sure that these are definitely not ammunition. After all, this is India, and they have no reason to transport ammunition to India.
But with such a heavy weight, and the importance that Fang Lang paid in person, Fang Xinshui made his own judgment about this batch of goods. He looked at his nephew with some surprise, and then glanced at the dark inland direction. Knowing that this must have been obtained illegally from India, I had to lament the audacity of my nephew.
"No problem, I will personally escort this batch of goods to the ship, and then be responsible for receiving it on the ship. You just deal with the things here. You don't have to worry about the situation on the ship." Seeing Fang Xinshui, he didn't ask too much about the specific situation of the goods. Fang Lang smiled slightly. He didn't mind if the other party knew what was being transported, but since the other party didn't take the initiative to ask, he wasn't going to tell the other party now. After all, the fewer people who knew about India's operation, the better.
As for whether the other party has any idea, he can already see everything from the other party's eyes, but as his own uncle, Fang Lang believes in the other party. After all, their interests are the same. Even if he knows what the goods are this time, He will never have any evil intentions.
After all, there are many outsiders on the ship. If outsiders find out, it may cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
The other party took the initiative to take over the job of receiving the goods on the ship, which made Fang Lang very happy. It was obvious that he was treating Fang Lang's matters as his own.
Hearing this, Fang Lang nodded and said, "Okay, I feel relieved as long as you are here. We will have a few soldiers riding in rubber boats and following the cargo to the ship. They are responsible for the care of the cargo. If you need anything, you can instruct them." Just do it. We still have a few more trips to transport, and when everything is finished, we can have a good chat on the ship." Fang Xinshui looked at Fang Lang in surprise when he heard this. If he expected it to be true, these ammunition boxes contained It's gold. The amount loaded on the traffic boat is no less than one ton. What's been unloaded on the truck has not yet been loaded. Looking at the quantity on site, this truck is at least three tons.
It would take a few more trips to transport it all, which meant that the amount of gold was at least ten tons. Thinking about this calculation made his head buzz, it was more than ten tons of gold!
What a concept. He knew that Fang Lang had secretly shipped a lot of gold from Japan and Germany back to Brazil. This was one of the reasons why their Brazilian Development Bank was able to grow rapidly. But he didn't expect that this was not over yet. Fang Lang now had another British person from India. The colonies have obtained so much gold, and if this continues, the amount of gold owned by their Fang family may exceed the gold reserves of many small countries.
Isn’t this the legendary country with incomparable wealth? Thinking of Fang Xinshui here, his whole body started to tremble uncontrollably. This world is really crazy.
There was a hint of admiration in Fang Lang's eyes. This nephew of mine is really a God of Wealth!
Since he first returned to Brazil from the European battlefield, the Fang family has become one of the largest families in Brazil in just a few years. At the same time, because of the other party's high-ranking military official background, the Fang family, a Chinese family, has become a big family in Brazil. No one dares to mess with the country.
"Okay, I'm on board, so don't worry, you guys take care of yourselves!" Fang Xinshui didn't delay, nodded to Fang Lang, then turned back to the traffic boat with the pilot and several soldiers who came before. The first shipload of treasure left the coast.
Because he had been prepared, as soon as the first traffic boat left the coast, a second traffic boat came over. In this way, Qi Qingshan led some soldiers to pack the boxes in the temple, and two trucks kept going back and forth. The treasure was transferred to the coast less than a hundred meters away from the temple, and then the treasure was transported by transport boat to a cargo ship docked not far away.
The whole process lasted for more than three hours, and the two trucks made nearly twenty trips each before transporting all the treasures in the temple. No one knew the specific value of the treasures. After all, not all of them were gold products. , not to mention cast gold bricks and gold nuggets, but various gold ornaments and precious gems, or gold coin cultural relics.
Among them are a 1.2-meter-tall elephant statue cast in gold, hundreds of kilograms of gold coins minted during the East India Company period, hundreds of coins from the Napoleonic era in the early 19th century, several diamond-encrusted crowns and countless jewelry. Ornaments, countless statues of gods made of gold, and countless other gold ornaments.
None of these can be measured by the value of gold alone. After all the treasures were loaded onto the cargo ship, Fang Lang returned to the temple and personally went down to the temple's secret room to visit the entire secret room.
Looking at the six empty secret rooms, Fang Lang showed a warm smile to the somewhat uneasy monk beside him.
"Master, thank you very much for your help. My subordinates have told me about your performance. Please don't be nervous. I will definitely keep my promise." The monk was obviously very nervous at this moment. He knew that all his use value was gone. , now he is the fish on the chopping board, and belongs to the position of being slaughtered by others. The young-looking man in front of him is the one who can decide his life or death.
Although everyone here is wearing a turban and dressed like an Indian, the monk understands that these people are not Indians, because no Indian dares to be so disrespectful to an Indian temple, and their language is not English, even if The English speakers don't have any Indian accent either.
He knew that the other party was deliberately hiding his identity. The more so, the more nervous he became. Since the other party wanted to hide his identity deliberately, it meant that they did not want outsiders to know their identity, and his own safety as an outsider became more and more dangerous. Therefore, He swallowed hard and said: "Sir, thank you! Thank you very much, the gods will definitely bless you!" When Fang Lang heard this, he glanced at the other party strangely, and said jokingly: "Master, you should also know that I I don't believe in your gods, so I don't need your gods to bless me. Besides, I took away all the tributes that belonged to him, so he shouldn't bless me!" The monk also looked a little embarrassed when he heard this. Embarrassed, I don’t know how to respond to Fang Lang’s words.
Seeing this, Fang Lang smiled and patted the other party's shoulder and said: "Master, don't worry, I promised to let you live, and I keep my word. We will leave you in your room directly and wait for an hour after we leave. After that, you can leave on your own. Whether you choose to go home to see your children, go to the royal family of Travancore to report the situation here, or run away on your own is your freedom. As for someone asking you about us You can also tell the truth about the situation, and we will never pursue it." Fang Lang's words made the monk startled. He looked into Fang Lang's eyes in disbelief, and when he saw the sincerity on the other person's face, his eyes instantly Overflowing with tears, he quickly waved his hands and said: "Sir, I took the initiative to open the secret room door for you. I am an accomplice in this matter. I will never betray you. Don't worry! I will wait for an hour after you leave. Go home, take my children and leave here overnight. I will never come back, and I will never mention what happened here to anyone.”
