Everyone in the hall changed their expressions when they heard this. The old man said that being removed from the family tree and expelled from the Fang family was a very severe punishment. Now with the rapid development of the Fangyuan Group under the Fang family, everyone in the Fang family has benefited.
In order to avoid family conflicts, Fang Lang carried out joint-stock reform of Yuan Group early. Every family member who contributed to Fang's family's industry received corresponding company equity.
Of course, in order to ensure that the Fang family's property would not be seized by outsiders, Fang Lang also imposed restrictions. The shares in everyone's hands could only flow within the family.
Needless to say, Fang Lang and Fang Xinshan are the well-deserved major shareholders of the Fang family. The combined shares of Fang Xinshan, Fang Lang and Fang Tao account for 80% of Fangyuan Group's shares. The next person with the largest shareholding is naturally Fang Lang's uncle Fang Xinshui.
Uncle Yang Zong and cousin Yang Kun own shares in tobacco companies and education groups that they manage.
At the same time, Fang Lang's own American Global Group does not belong to the common industry of the Fang family, but to Fang Lang's private property. No one in the Fang family had any objections to this.
Although the old man does not hold any position in Fangyuan Group, everyone must respect his opinions. Even his uncle Yang Zong's family, who does not belong to the Fang family, must obey the old man's instructions as long as they survive in the Fangyuan Group's industry.
After hearing what the old man said, without waiting for everyone in the Fang family to speak, Yang Zong directly expressed his position on behalf of the Yang family:
"The old man is right. From now on, not only the Fang family must abide by this family rule, but our Yang family is also the same. Anyone who sticks to this thing will be expelled from our Yang family."
As he spoke, he glanced back and forth at the faces of his two sons, Yang Qian and Yang Kun, with stern eyes.
Although Yang Qian is not involved in the industrial management of Fangyuan Group, he is the representative of the Fang family in the political circles. As the secretary of the new presidential candidate Scalia, his status is no longer comparable to that of the secretary to the mayor of Sao Paulo.
Needless to say, as Yang Zong's son, he naturally has the right to inherit Yang Zong's shares. Even if he does nothing, he can still get a lot of income from the family fund every year.
This is also the confidence that Fang Lang specially provided to Yang Qian in order to prevent him from being corrupted in the corrupt officialdom of Brazil. Of course, if he wants to survive in the Brazilian officialdom, he cannot be very unconventional. When everyone accepts bribes, if only If he doesn't accept it.
He would soon be isolated by everyone, so he set a rule for Yang Qian, that is, he would only accept gifts, not money. After receiving the gift, each person who gave the gift should be given a return gift of equal value.
This left everyone speechless. At the same time, he doesn't accept all gifts. Those who give him gifts naturally want his help. In this case, Yang Qian only accepted gifts for things he could do.
Although this made Yang Gan an alternative in Brazilian politics, it did not isolate him. After all, it's not that he doesn't accept gifts, he just has the courtesy to return gifts.
This behavior also made Yang Gan have a very good impression in Scalia's mind, and he trusted him very much, and would leave many things to him. Now he serves as secretary of the Presidential Campaign Committee.
Although it is not an important position like Secretary-General, it is still a profound accumulation of qualifications. Scalia has promised him that when he is successfully elected as the president, he will be assigned to work in the President's Office.
When Fang Lang chatted with him alone, he also discussed the path for him. After he had worked in the President's Office for several years and accumulated sufficient political resources and connections, he would let him return to Sao Paulo to run for mayor.
If you can achieve results, see if you can run for governor. If you are able, they will give their full support to running for president.
However, he is still very young and is not suitable to take charge of a party too early. Therefore, he is now in the stage of accumulating qualifications.
Despite this, the Fang and Yang families have very high expectations for him and are prepared to use him as a guide for Chinese people to enter the political arena. His identity also destined him to speak on behalf of the interests of the Chinese in the political arena.
As the spokesperson of the Fang and Yang families in the political arena, Yang Qian's heart started racing after hearing Fang Lang's words. Everyone understood the dangers of poison. Although the poison in Brazil is not as widespread as in later generations, it has begun to gradually spread.
Especially in recent years, with the gradual improvement of Brazil's economy and the steady improvement of people's living standards, more and more wealthy people have begun to make some stimulating attempts. This caused a sharp increase in the number of poisons on the market.
Now that Fang Lang has shown a strong anti-drug attitude, with Fang Lang's influence in politics, it is not difficult to promote the establishment of this bill. This is an excellent opportunity for him. As a young politician, he has already understood the importance of the general trend.
Therefore, when his father finished expressing his stance and turned his attention to their brothers, he said without hesitation:
"Please rest assured that I will resolutely abide by family rules and never touch this red line. At the same time, I will also convey our Fang family's thoughts to Mr. Scalia and strive to gain his support.
I will also use my influence in the National League to fully support the passage of this bill. "
Although Yang Qian did not fully explain his thoughts, Fang Lang still accurately grasped his train of thought. Hearing this, his eyes moved, and he glanced at Yang Gan unexpectedly. He had to say that his cousin had grown up very quickly and had initially acquired the keen sense of smell necessary for a politician.
His statement seems to be using his status to convey today's anti-drug issues to the new president, but at the same time, he also intends to establish himself as an anti-drug pioneer.
Fang Lang has made it very clear that he must build momentum through the media and then promote the passage of this bill. Under such circumstances, drug control will soon become a general trend. Yang Gan jumped out at this time and took the lead in stating that he would take a tough stance against drugs.
Soon, he will be at the forefront of this matter. This is a typical trend. When this bill is officially passed, he will accumulate unparalleled and huge reputation in Brazilian politics.
After seeing this clearly, he didn't have any dissatisfaction. On the contrary, he had to look at his cousin's performance with admiration. Maybe, they can really train a good politician.
Seeing the expression Fang Lang looked at him, Yang Qian did not escape. Instead, he smiled and nodded at Fang Lang. Seeing this, Fang Lang nodded to him with a smile on his face, and both of them smiled tacitly.
Yang Kun on the side saw his brother's statement and quickly said:
"Don't worry, everyone, I vow to fight drug gambling and die together. After I return, I will arrange for the education group to set up a special anti-drug publicity office.
Carry out anti-drug propaganda in various schools under the company, from elementary schools to universities, and no one will be left out. "
Seeing everyone expressing their stance, Fang Tao, who was not prepared to speak out, had no choice but to stand up and express his stance:
"Please rest assured, I also vow to fight drug gambling and fight against it. Our media group will definitely support and promote the passage of the anti-drug bill.
In the coming time, we will definitely do our best to collect news materials about the dangers of drug P, and use our various TV stations, radio stations, newspapers, and magazines as weapons to declare war on drug P in all aspects. "
The old man was very pleased to see everyone express their opinions. Not only did everyone express their opinions that they would not touch this bottom line, but they were also thinking of using their own way to promote the smooth implementation of this matter. This was a sign of the Fang family's cohesion, and of course he should be happy.
When Fang Lang saw this, he smiled with satisfaction.
“Very good, since everyone has the same attitude, we will work together to see if we can promote the passage of a bill in Brazil through the power of our Fang family.
If this bill can be successfully passed, it will be a test of our Fang family's influence. In the future, we can also use this method to further strengthen the influence of Brazilian Chinese in Brazil. "
When everyone heard this, they reacted at the same time, yes! This is not a small matter. Using their means to get a bill passed by the Brazilian Congress is a huge matter. Once successful, it means that their Fang family has the ability to influence Brazilian law.
This was something they had never thought about before.
In fact, because they are responsible for different work contents, they have some vague guesses about the current influence of the Fang family. But there is no clear understanding.
Among them, the only one who has some rough idea of the influence of the Fang family in the political arena is probably Fang Xinshan, the chairman of Fangyuan Group.
Because Xin Shiliang is now working under the Fangyuan Group Secretariat, and will also report some of the results he has achieved to Fang Xinshan. Fang Xinshan is very clear about the support of the Fangyuan Group behind the new President Scalia.
However, he only knew that the Fangyuan Group supported Scalia as the next president, but he did not know that Scalia was exactly the candidate recommended by Fang Lang.
It was not that Fang Lang or Xin Shiliang deliberately concealed this from him, but that he himself did not deliberately care about Xin Shiliang's work content. After all, the current Fangyuan Group is too big, and his work as chairman is also very busy.
I am too busy with business matters, so I have no time to pay attention to the work of the Secretariat.
Of course, this is also related to Fang Lang telling him at the beginning that he should not be too involved in Xin Shiliang's work and that Xin Shiliang should only be responsible to him. He knew that Xin Shiliang was working for his son, so he didn't pay too much attention to the specific work content.
If he had carefully studied the work results of Xin Shiliang's office, he would never believe Fang Lang's statement that the passage of a bill requires the joint efforts of all of them.
Still, he felt a thrill. Once upon a time, his family was just a small Brazilian farmer. In just a few years, it has become a plutocratic family that can influence Brazilian presidential elections and the formulation of laws.
Everyone in the ancestral hall was instantly motivated by Fang Lang's words and began to whisper among themselves. This was no longer something Fang Lang wanted to promote personally. It's time for everyone to prove their influence in Brazil.
When the old man saw this situation, he smiled slightly and was very satisfied.
Then, everyone started discussing the anti-drug bill. You talk to each other, each providing suggestions from his own perspective. The effect of this brainstorming is obviously better than Fang Lang's alone thinking.
Soon a complete plan was quietly formed. When and what work should be done, who is responsible for which aspects of the work, and everyone has a clear division of labor. In the end, Fang Lang discovered that this matter seemed to be out of his control, and there was no need for him to take action anymore.
However, he didn't mind, and was happy to watch everyone take the initiative to claim their respective tasks. At worst, when there is any resistance, he can just take action secretly and solve the trouble for everyone.
In this way, on New Year's Eve in 1950, everyone in the Fang family ancestral hall formulated an anti-drug bill that would change the future of Brazil.
The tiny flapping of a butterfly's wings in the Amazon directly changed the direction of Brazil's history.
Of course, Brazil's problems go far beyond drugs. But it doesn't matter. With this good start, Fang Lang believes that everything will become different.
The next day was the first day of the first lunar month, and Chinese people in Brazil began to visit relatives and friends. However, many immigrants and workers who came to Brazil did not have any relatives around them. Therefore, most people organize some hometown gatherings.
But the Fang family was completely busy, and various people kept coming to visit the Fang family. This gave Fang Lang, who rarely had time to rest, a headache. He only rested at home for two days and took himself with him. The three women returned to their Chinese-style manor in Rio de Janeiro.
There are also many Chinese compatriots in Rio de Janeiro now, and Chinatown is also decorated with lights and colorful lights to celebrate the Chinese New Year.
Because Rio de Janeiro is the capital of Brazil, the fiercely competitive presidential campaign is also in full swing.
Fang Lang didn't want to get involved, so this trip to Rio de Janeiro was completely confidential. However, as a naval general, he can keep his whereabouts secret from government officials, but he cannot keep it secret from his superiors.
On the night he checked into the manor, an unexpected guest came to his manor.
"Sir, there is a guest outside who calls himself General Crook."
Fang Lang, who was playing mahjong with his three women in his manor, was obviously startled when he heard Uncle Fu's words. I quickly realized that it was His Excellency the Minister of the Navy who came to the door in person.
He quickly waved to the twin sisters who were advising the three girls on the side and said:
"Yingchun, come and take my place for a while."
Hearing Fang Lang's greeting, the elder sister of the twin sisters welcomed the spring with a face full of joy. She nodded to Fang Lang without timidity and said:
"Okay! Sir!"
After getting along with Fang Lang for such a long time, the twins have long been familiar with Fang Lang's temper and understand that Fang Lang is an easy person to get along with.
At the same time, Fang Lang is not a gentleman. Naturally, he will not let go of such a beautiful pair of twin sisters. Therefore, in fact, although the current sisters Yingchun and Xichun have not obtained official titles, they are also the owners of this manor. Mistress 2.
Lilith, Vivian and Hepburn are naturally not very familiar with activities like mahjong, so they need the guidance of the twin sisters to have the opportunity to play back and forth with Fang Lang without losing too embarrassingly.
But let’s guide this pair of sisters! But all four people on the field were watching the cards. Under the guidance of this God's perspective, no matter how strong Fang Lang's card skills were, he could only be disappointed. After a while, he was completely defeated.
It happened that Uncle Fu's call finally rescued him.
