Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat
Chapter 409 Unexpected Visitor
Five days passed very quickly. During this period, the Morgan family never contacted Fang Lang again, and Fang Lang didn't care at all.
After all, his idea of buying a stake in General Electric would definitely cause discomfort to the Morgan consortium, and the other party's failure to respond to Fang Lang in time must be an attitude towards Fang Lang.
As for when we will find another opportunity to talk again, or when both parties will find a step down, it is still unclear.
Fang Lang was not idle during these five days. In addition to taking the opportunity to inspect various branches of Universal Group, he also introduced the investigation department of Fangyuan Group to Universal Group.
Further strengthening his control over Universal Group, Fang Lang knew very well that with the unfolding of the European aid plan, Universal Group would definitely achieve rapid development.
In particular, the steel companies and shipyards of the Universal Group will start to make aggressive acquisitions around the world according to the plan, expanding production capacity and merging factories. Expanding Universal Steel and Universal Shipbuilding into one of the world's leading companies.
In this case, Fang Lang must strengthen his ability to control his industries.
In addition to establishing the Investigation Department of Universal Group, it once again strengthened the financial control over the subsidiaries of Universal Group, established a separate special accounting firm, recruited outstanding professional accountants from all over the world, and carried out financial management of its major companies.
Conduct supervision and audit.
At the same time, after Zulf Henry's unremitting efforts day and night, the preparations for the dinner were finally successfully completed within five days.
On that day, around five o'clock in the afternoon, guests began to arrive continuously. As the boss, Fang Lang did not greet these guests outside the manor. Instead, Wan Chongxin was responsible for receiving them at the entrance of the manor.
It’s not that Fang Lang is neglecting his guests. In fact, Fang Lang is not just meeting with these global group partners to discuss business.
In addition to participating in the early stage of the company's construction, he actually did not participate too much in the company's actual business management. In this case, personally meeting with the bosses of each partner would make each boss feel valued.
p>
But it will also have a certain impact on the actual business host like Wan Chongxin. Therefore, his purpose of holding this dinner was from the beginning to the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family.
Therefore, he was only going to come out in person to thank all the guests, and the rest of the time was to start negotiations with the Morgan family again.
However, things often don't go according to his plan, just when Fang Lang accompanied Lilith and Vivian in the master room of the manor while tasting the red wine and talking about love.
The new butler, Zulf Henry, knocked on the door hurriedly, his face flushed with excitement, and he said excitedly:
"Sir, sir, General Marshall is here, do you need to come out in person to receive him?"
While I was having sex with my two girlfriends, my face was startled when I heard this, and I asked with some confusion?
"General Marshall? That General Marshall?"
Fang Lang himself is a rear admiral of Brazil, so he is not surprised by generals in the army, not to mention that he is an American general, and he obviously has no affiliation with him, so he doesn't care too much.
In his heart, he thought that the other party was one of the shareholders behind the scenes of Shata Company. It didn't matter if he came to receive him, but there was no need to be very eager to get there.
This will make you look very low.
Zulf Henry saw Fang Lang's obviously casual attitude and quickly explained:
"Mr. George Catlett Marshall, the five-star general of the United States and the former Chief of Staff of the United States Army."
As soon as he heard that it was Marshall, a five-star general who had served as the chief of staff of the U.S. Army, Fang Lang immediately understood the identity of the other party. This was a real big shot, the future U.S. Secretary of State, and the proposer of the European aid plan.
Even the later European aid plan was directly named after the "Marshall Plan".
He never thought that the banquet he held would lead to such a big fish. Thinking about the European aid plan he proposed later, it was obvious that the other party must have close relations with the major consortiums participating in the plan.
The direct appearance here this time must be related to the communication between the Morgan consortium and himself, which made Fang Lang frown. Although Fang Lang wanted to participate in the European aid plan.
But he doesn't want to get too involved in American politics. After all, he also has the identity of a Brazilian rear admiral. Being close to such a big shot in the United States can bring him great benefits, but it will also bring him more or less benefits.
Bring some negative impacts.
However, since the other party has taken the initiative to come to the door, it is obvious that Fang Lang cannot avoid it. This will offend the incoming US Secretary of State and the nominal leader of the European aid plan.
Therefore, he had to pat Lilith and Vivian who were leaning on him, and motioned them to get up and go down with him to greet each other.
Upon seeing this, Zulf Henry quickly signaled to the two maids outside the door. Before Fang Lang could understand what he meant, Zulf Henry, the butler, had already walked quickly to Fang Lang.
Carefully began to organize Fang Lang's appearance.
After tidying up the suit that had become wrinkled due to the intimacy with Lilith and Vivian, the two maids also came to Lilith and Vivian respectively to tidy up their clothes.
This made Lilith and Vivian very uncomfortable, and they thought these two maids were going to do something.
Fortunately, Fang Lang has received this kind of service from Zulf Henry every day these days, and has already developed a certain immunity. After understanding what the other party meant, he just opened his arms casually and allowed Zulf Henry to serve him.
Organize.
Lilith wanted to refuse at first, but after Fang Lang nodded at her, she had to follow Fang Lang's example and let the maid serve her.
But Vivian seemed to find it very novel. After understanding what the other party wanted to do, she directly imitated Fang Lang and watched the maid arrange her clothes.

Fang Lang said casually while accepting Zulf Henry's service:
"Where is Mr. Marshall?"
Zulf Henry, who was holding a horsehair brush in his hand, was concentrating on arranging Fang Lang's suit and replied:
"Mr. Marshall has entered the gate and should have entered the banquet hall now. Mr. Wan is coming out to receive him."
Hearing this, Fang Lang nodded indifferently.
At this moment, Zulf Henry couldn't help but admire Fang Lang. After all, even a British butler who pays attention to etiquette like him was a little panicked when he heard that a big shot like General Marshall suddenly came here.
However, his young new boss behaved very calmly and exuded a light of confidence, which made him feel a little ashamed.
Thinking about following his original boss, but never having the opportunity to come into contact with a big shot at this level, at this moment he was extremely grateful for his choice.
In fact, Fang Lang was thinking about the purpose of the future Secretary of State's uninvited visit. It was certain that it must be related to the European aid plan, but what he wanted to discuss with him specifically made Fang Lang a little confused.
Doubts.
Fang Lang's suit was specially prepared for tonight's dinner, so it didn't need to be rearranged. Zulf Henry took care of the wrinkles he saw in a few clicks.
Turning around, he saw that the two maids had also completed their work, and whispered to Fang Lang:
"Sir, that's all right."
After hearing this, Fang Lang turned around and glanced at the two beauties beside him. Seeing that they were also ready, he said casually:
"In that case, let's go meet our former Army Chief of Staff."
He said this, of course, hoping to make Lilith and Vivian less nervous. After all, no matter how high his military rank was, a retired general would definitely not be as intimidating as a serving general.
After hearing Fang Lang's words, the two girls were still a little nervous, but they relaxed slightly. After all, it was the first time for the two girls to participate in such a banquet as hosts.
They also invited several of their friends to this banquet. At first they thought it was just a simple drinking party, but now they found that things were obviously not as simple as they thought.
A former American five-star general came uninvited and explained a lot of problems. Of course, they were very worried that their performance would affect Fang Lang's face.
As for the fact that the two sisters accompanied Fang Lang to such a banquet, they didn't take it seriously.
Listening to Fang Lang's somewhat casual tone, the two of them slowly relaxed, holding Fang Lang's left and right arms respectively, and slowly walked towards the banquet venue.
When Fang Lang and others arrived at the banquet, they quickly attracted the attention of everyone at the venue.
First of all, Fang Lang and the others entered the venue and did not enter through the guest entrance. Obviously, this young Asian is the host of today's banquet.
Secondly, it is because the two beautiful beauties beside Fang Lang, both of whom are rare beauties, are holding the arms of this Asian young man on the left and right at the moment.
If Fang Lang was a middle-aged man, everyone might wonder if Fang Lang was the father of two beauties. Men who think they are qualified might start to talk to him.
But given Fang Lang's age, everyone knew that these two people must be this young Asian woman, and everyone cast envious glances at Fang Lang.
Fang Lang didn't seem to care about this. At this moment, he could see an old white man with gray hair surrounded by many people, like a star holding the moon.
The other party had obviously noticed the movement here. At this moment, his eyes were looking in the direction of Fang Lang. Their eyes met in the air. With just this glance, the two of them seemed to have traveled through a thousand years of time and found the right target.<
/p>
Fang Lang smiled and nodded slightly at the other party. The other party also smiled kindly and nodded at Fang Lang. Then the two of them walked towards each other tacitly.
In his previous life, Fang Lang didn't know much about Marshall. He only knew that he proposed the European Renaissance Plan when he was Secretary of State. In this life, when he was preparing to participate in the plan, he focused on launching a detailed investigation into him.
Therefore, Fang Lang now actually knows Marshall very well. This is a late-blooming general. It was not until he was aged that he finally obtained the status of a U.S. brigadier general.
But when he was 8 years old, he was appointed as the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army. Everyone knows that it is more difficult to promote the rank of a general, but Marshall was completely the opposite. It took him thirty-nine years to be promoted from a cadet to an Army brigadier general.
p>
However, it only took him three years to go from brigadier general to chief of army staff with the temporary rank of general. It was also after he became chief of army staff that Germany began to invade Poland.
He keenly discovered that the United States would inevitably be involved in the war, so he immediately began active military expansion preparations, rapidly expanding the U.S. Army, which originally had only 00,000 regular troops.
By the end of the war, the number of U.S. troops had soared to nearly nine million.
He is also one of the few American generals in the United States who has not experienced actual frontline combat. Although he has experienced two world wars, he has served as a staff officer most of the time.
But he is such a person, but his prestige in the U.S. Army is unparalleled. George Patton, Eisenhower, and MacArthur are all famous generals discovered by him.
In 1943, the U.S. Congress even agreed to grant him the rank of "field marshal" that had never appeared in U.S. history, but he flatly refused.
It was precisely because of his refusal that the United States never established the rank of marshal again.
It is impossible to say that Fang Lang is not nervous at all about the fact that he is about to meet such a great historical figure.
But after so many years of training, he has become a person who is indifferent to emotions and anger. No matter how high history thinks of Marshall, it is impossible for him to take the initiative to stick to it.

After all, this would only make the other party look down on him, so he acted very indifferent throughout the whole process. He had seen Marshall's photo before, so he could find him in the crowd at a glance.
The lively scene around him didn't have much impact on Fang Lang at all, because he didn't know most of the people around him. Although others knew that he might be the owner of this manor, they didn't know his specific information.
p>
Therefore, it was not easy to take the initiative to get involved. I could only ask the executives of Universal Group around me about Fang Lang's identity. When they learned that Fang Lang was the boss behind Universal Group, they all looked very surprised.
You must know that it is very rare for an Asian to achieve such a huge achievement in the United States, where racial discrimination is serious.
Next, something that surprised everyone even more happened in front of everyone. General Marshall, the hero and pride of the American people, who took the initiative to appear at the dinner, actually walked out of the crowd and walked straight towards the other party.
This is more shocking than many people learning that the boss of Universal Group is an Asian. After all, several of Universal Group’s senior executives are Asian.
While everyone was still surprised, Fang Lang had already held hands with General Marshall.
As the host, Fang Lang certainly couldn't lose his etiquette and said very enthusiastically:
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Marshall. Your presence makes this humble house shine!"
Fang Lang knew very well that General Marshall was a China expert, because as early as 1944, he was sent to his hometown of Tianjin and served as the deputy commander and chief staff officer of the 1st Infantry Regiment of the US Army in Tianjin.
He learned Chinese during this trip, so Fang Lang didn't worry at all that the other party wouldn't understand what he said.
Sure enough, after General Marshall heard Fang Lang's words, he responded directly in Chinese:
"Mr. Fang, it's my fault. I hope I won't disturb you!"
Fang Lang also quickly smiled and said:
"Haha...I can't even invite a distinguished guest like you, so why bother."
Then he looked at more and more people around him, winked at them and said:
"I wonder if Mr. Marshall is interested in sitting upstairs with me?"
