Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat

Although General Clark has retired from the U.S. Navy, as a rear admiral, he still has a very huge influence within the U.S. Navy, at least not comparable to Fang Lang.

The next day, Fang Lang received a call from Jefferson, the manager of Shatta Company, at noon, telling Fang Lang that he no longer needed to meet with the Secretary of the Navy.

This aircraft carrier transaction will directly become a pure commercial transaction, and even the Brazilian Navy will not need to come forward.

The only requirement is that the Brazilian Navy must recruit a naval advisory group of about 300 people from retired U.S. naval officers to be responsible for guiding the Brazilian Navy to become familiar with the use of aircraft carriers.

The duration of this employment contract cannot be less than three years.

This kind of requirement is really not too loose for Brazil.

This shocked Manager Jefferson, who kept asking insinuatingly how Fang Lang persuaded General Nimitz of the U.S. Navy.

This is simply beyond Jefferson's cognition.

Of course Fang Lang would not tell Manager Jefferson what kind of relationship he had.

As a boss, you always have to make sure that you have trump cards that the other party doesn't know, so that the other party can maintain respect for you.

Maybe because of this incident, this retired American military officer will feel a sense of awe towards Fang Lang.

After all, unknown things often make people feel awe.

Since General Clark's intervention made things so simple, Fang Lang was of course happy and relaxed.

A direct telegram informed Rear Admiral Frederic Crook, Chief of Staff of the Brazilian Naval General Staff, who was preparing to leave Brazil for negotiations in the United States, that the matter had been settled.

There is no need to go through high-level negotiations with the Navy, but it directly becomes a pure commercial transaction.

And explained the United States' requirements to Major General Crook.

This left General Crook, who was prepared to pay something, at a loss. He didn't understand when Americans became so kind.

It has a dreamlike and unreal feeling.

Finally, a telegram was sent back, speaking highly of Fang Lang's ability, and repeatedly emphasized that the Brazilian Navy could spend enough on public relations.

Of course, Fang Lang would not refuse such a request.

However, he did not give these public relations fees to others, and of course he would not put a small amount of public relations fees into his own pocket. Boss Fang's eyesight was not that shallow.

Instead, all of it will be used to purchase additional F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighters and tbF "Avenger bombers" from Shatta Company.

This way you won’t leave anyone with a reason to talk. After all, it’s easy for people to use public funds for private purposes.

As for the salary and benefits of the US military advisory group, the Brazilian Navy must be responsible for it!

Whether public or private, Fang Lang is very clear about these matters.

Now that the aircraft carrier matter has been answered accurately.

The first step Fang Lang needs to do is to set up an organizational structure for the aircraft carrier.

That afternoon, Fang Lang reunited with General Clark and began to form the so-called US military advisory group.

"You mean, this so-called US military advisory group is actually the original officer team on the USS Tarawa aircraft carrier?"

General Clark said matter-of-factly:

"Otherwise? Now that the Tarawa is going to be sold to your Brazilian Navy, the active officers must retire.

Is there anyone who knows this aircraft carrier better than these original officers?"

Fang Lang thought for a while and decided that it didn't matter. After all, these people are just consultants. If you can, just ask. If you can't, who cares about you?

As long as they ensure that the aircraft carrier is under their absolute control, these people can sincerely teach the Brazilian Navy what they know.

"Yes, as long as they sincerely teach their knowledge to my people, I have no problem with it."

"Don't worry about this, since this is the content of the transaction approved by the Navy Department.

We, the people, will definitely teach you within three years to fully master the use of aircraft carriers and the related techniques and tactics of aircraft carriers."

General Clark said very simply.

"ok, when will your personnel be available? I need to organize personnel to my fleet to screen aircraft carrier crew members who meet the requirements.

Also, you must ensure that the Tarawa is an aircraft carrier that fully meets U.S. standards.

If there is any reduction in the quantity of the product delivered to me, I will refuse to pay for it."

Fang Lang is very aware of the virtues of the American elders in later generations. He keeps the good things for himself and sells out the bad ones.

Forget it if it's bad, second-hand equipment is often dismantled and is completely different from the original thing.

However, these words made Clark stunned?

"What does underweighting mean?"

Obviously, the current United States has not learned the tricks behind it. During the war, all the allies advanced and retreated together and authorized each other, all for the victory of the war.

Fang Lang quickly shook his head and said:

"It's okay, as long as you make sure there won't be any dismantling on the aircraft carrier.

I don’t know where this aircraft carrier is now. Does it say where to receive it?”

"I said, brat, did you step into the role too quickly? I haven't signed a contract with you yet!

I’m not your consultant yet, so why don’t you ask me about everything?

The aircraft carrier transaction is a matter between the Brazilian Navy and Shata Company. You should communicate with them about when and where the delivery will be.

Instead of asking me."

There was some dissatisfaction in General Clark's tone. Obviously, he would not be used to working under Fang Lang for a while.

Fang Lang smiled and said:

"As the major shareholder of Shatta Company, I believe that Shatta Company does not dare to make any changes to my aircraft carrier.

What I'm more worried about is whether your Navy Department will be unwilling to do anything."

Fang Lang's words made General Clark unable to react for a long time. He opened and closed his mouth over and over again, saying as if he had seen a ghost:

"You just said you are the major shareholder of Shata Company?

How is this possible? Isn’t it said that this company is a company with huge energy, and the shareholders behind it are all military veterans?

How can you, a Brazilian Navy captain, be the majority shareholder of this company?"

Of course, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better.

Seeing the shocked expression on Clark's face, Fang Lang knew that he had made a mistake and shouldn't have said this kind of thing.

However, since the other party already knows, if he chooses to shut up now, it will obviously make the other party absolutely distrust him.

I hesitated for a while.

How could General Clark not understand when he saw Fang Lang's expression?

What this guy said may indeed be true, but if such a big gossip is not clarified, Clark feels that he will definitely not be able to sleep.

Therefore, I was unwilling to give up and waited for Fang Lang's answer with a curious face.

Fang Lang thought twice and thought that the penicillin equipment that Mrs. Clark had obtained for herself was also purchased through Global Trade.

I guess even if I don't tell him, the old guy will be able to find out when I get back.

Finally, he simply confessed:

"Shatta Company's largest shareholder, Global Trading Company, is a company I registered in the United States.

The reason why Sanda Company was established was to facilitate the acquisition of arms orders from a tank division of our Brazilian Army.

Therefore, I am one of the founders of this company.

But later, all the big shots got involved. So, the news you got is not wrong!

If they don’t have connections, my global trade will provide the money.”

General Clark never thought that the savior of his son in front of him would actually be a hidden big capitalist.

You know, there are many forces behind the Shata Company that he cannot afford to offend.

Unfortunately, I had always thought that the other party wanted to use my connections to gain benefits by joining the US military.

It turns out that the clown is actually himself, and others are not without foundation in the US military.

As for the major shareholder of this company, he is not an American.

This kind of thing is not something Clark needs to be concerned about. The big shots don't have any opinions, so why should he make irresponsible remarks?

You must know that the United States is a capitalist country, capital is king, and whoever has money has power.

In the end, Clark could only cough a few times and said:

"I understand, I'll just pretend I've never heard of this, and don't tell anyone else."

Fang Lang was relieved to see that General Clark was so knowledgeable.

What he didn't know was that General Clark at this time was more than just informed.

At this time, in the eyes of General Clark, Fang Lang is no longer simply his son's savior and his junior.

Rather, he is a capitalist with a strong background, just like his wife’s natal family.

He knew very well that if it weren't for his wife's family connections, it would have been impossible for him to break through the boundaries of his skin color and become a powerful rear admiral in the United States through his own efforts.

Fang Lang changed the topic:

"Okay, let's leave this topic behind.

Regarding the establishment of the advisory group, we must hurry up. I don’t want the ship to be completed and we will not be able to sail it by then.”

Now Clark was not trying to shirk Fang Lang, but said straightly:

"Don't worry, the candidates have already been formed in my mind. They are all experts who have experienced actual combat.

The specific arrival time may take a week.

I assure you that our advisory group will be able to start cooperating with you in a week."

Fang Lang felt General Clark's silent change in attitude very clearly, which made him feel relieved.

After all, this old guy, John’s father, could not have achieved what he has achieved today without the help of him and his family.

If the other party really keeps pretending to be an elder in front of him, it will indeed make it very difficult for Fang Lang and will not be conducive to the development of future work.

In the end, it may also affect the relationship between myself and John.

But now it seems that he accidentally revealed that his relationship with Shata Company has such unexpected gains.

This was something Fang Lang didn't expect.

"Okay, I'll just take this time to deal with some business matters.

I will leave all the affairs of the advisory group to my uncle. You can make a promise to all the members of the advisory group for me.

All members of the advisory group will receive the same treatment as they received in the US military.

At the same time, based on the specific work situation of the consultant and the Brazilian Navy personnel in the corresponding positions he is responsible for, the mastery of the corresponding job knowledge will be scored.

I will issue bonuses based on specific scores. The higher the score, the higher the bonus.

As for the specific bonus amount, I can only say that it must be higher than their salary."

General Clark was impressed by Fang Lang's operation of issuing bonuses based on performance KPI assessments.

He blinked involuntarily, then swallowed and said:

"Okay, okay!"
