Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat

Several members of the Morgan family looked at each other. Charles Morgan, the patriarch of the Morgan family, waved his hand to Fang Lang with a smile on his face and said nonchalantly:

"We are friends, we don't have to worry too much about these etiquettes."

As he spoke, he handed over a beautifully wrapped gift box and continued to Fang Lang:

"Today is your housewarming. I hope you like this gift."

Fang Lang was stunned when he heard this. This was not his hometown, and he didn't want to hold a housewarming ceremony. He just wanted to hold a simple dinner to thank the partners of the Universal Group and at the same time achieve his goal.

Unexpectedly, this Charles Morgan would actually prepare a gift for himself, which made Fang Lang stunned. No one else had prepared a gift for him, so it was extra special when the other party handed him a gift.<

/p>

This made Fang Lang have to treat Charles Morgan differently.

"Haha...thank you for the gift! I'm not welcome then."

After saying that, he took the gift with anticipation and started to unwrap the gift in front of Morgan and others. After opening the package three times, he found that inside was a porcelain piece with a diameter of nearly 20 centimeters.

Disk.

There are five peaches and three bats painted on the front of the plate, which at first glance symbolizes happiness and longevity. Turning over the plate, you can see three more peaches and two bats on the back.

If you count them carefully, they are eight peaches and five blessings. This kind of meaning is quite good, and the bottom mark is clearly marked with the words "Yongzheng Year of the Qing Dynasty".

Although Fang Lang didn't know the name of this porcelain, he was sure that it must be authentic and valuable. After playing with it admiringly, he raised his head and said to Charles Morgan:

"This gift from Mr. Morgan is so beautiful! I like it very much."

According to Western customs, when someone brings a gift, you must open it in person and express your love for the gift. This is different from back home.

After hearing what Fang Lang said, Charles Morgan said with a smile on his face:

"Haha... Just like it if you like it. This Qing Yongzheng pastel plate with eight peaches and five bats has good fortune and longevity. I specially asked a Chinese professional to select it for me. It is said to have a very good meaning."
Although this gift is of great value, given the relationship between the two families, Fang Lang would not hesitate to accept it.

"Haha...Thank you so much."

After speaking, he glanced at Lilith and Mr. Morgan’s female companions, and said to Mr. Charles Morgan:

"Let's go in and talk! Mr. Marshall and Mr. Alvin Rockefeller have already arrived."

Charles Morgan was stunned when he heard this, and looked back at Eli Morgan and Halken Morgan calmly. They were not surprised that the Marshall they invited appeared here.

Even though Fang Lang didn't greet them at the door, they guessed that he must be accompanying Marshall.

However, the existence of Alvin Rockefeller was obviously beyond everyone's expectation, which set off alarm bells in their hearts. It seems that during this period of time, the Morgan family dragged Fang Lang away without replying, and the other party was not waiting silently.

Ah!

However, a few people did not mind Rockefeller's presence. After all, although everyone supported different parties in the political arena, there was no hatred between businessmen.

For example, this European support plan is a feast for all American capital. Of course, the Morgan consortium and the Rockefeller consortium will work together to promote the smooth progress of the plan.

In any case, taxpayers’ money is used to purchase goods from consortiums to support European revival. No capital would refuse such a good thing, right?

I heard that Marshall and Alvin Rockefeller were the only ones in the reception room now. It was obviously a matter of business. In this case, it was obviously not suitable for the female companions brought by others to appear.

Therefore, Charles Morgan patted his wife who was holding his arm and introduced him to Fang Lang. Eli Morgan and Halken Morgan also introduced their female companions respectively. Fang Lang pulled Lilith and made an introduction to everyone.

An introduction.

After everyone was introduced and they were acquainted with each other, Charles Morgan winked directly at his wife, who directly took Lilith's hand and said:

"Miss Lilith, the men have serious business to discuss. How about you take us women to visit your manor?"

Hearing this, Lilith turned her gaze to Fang Lang. After seeing Fang Lang smiling and nodding, she said with a smile on her face:

"This is my honor. Mrs. Morgan, please come with me."

The other two female companions also smiled at the men, bowed, and left with Lilith.

Seeing this situation, Fang Lang smiled and said to the Morgan gentlemen again:

"Inside please!"

The butler Zulf Henry on the side pushed open the door of the reception room, and several people walked in with smiles on their faces. After the door was closed, Wan Chongxin nodded to the butler Zulf Henry,

I turned around and went downstairs to stare at the banquet.

At this moment, the butler Zulf Henry was really shocked. He knew that Fang Lang had invited people from the Morgan family to the banquet, but he did not expect that three members of the Morgan family would come.

Although he didn't know the identities of these people, depending on the situation, one of the older men might be the patriarch of the Morgan family.

He had never heard that the old patriarch of the Morgan family would bring his lover to a banquet. More importantly, he also brought a rare piece of antique porcelain to his new boss.<

/p>

With his knowledge of Chinese antiques, he can roughly estimate the value of this porcelain with just one glance. This is definitely a valuable collection.

Could the person who can make the patriarch of the Morgan family personally deliver gifts be some simple person?

At this moment, the image of Fang Lang, the new boss, in the mind of the butler Zulf Henry has been raised a bit again. With the existence of such important figures, the boss's invitation to the president to attend the banquet will definitely not be a sentence.

Empty talk.

Even in the United States, a place where capital is king, Fang Lang, who can freely invite the heads of the two largest financial groups in the United States, may be the person the president wants to fawn over!

At this moment, the butler Zulf Henry, who was standing at the door, had his whole back straightened up. With such a master, his self-confidence instantly exploded, and his whole temperament seemed to have been sublimated.<

/p>

Even standing by the door waiting for the master's call became something that made him feel honored. It took him a while to realize that he should go in and prepare tea for the guests.

By the time he knocked on the door with tea, the people inside had already finished their greetings, and the guests and hosts had taken their seats.

Regarding his arrival, everyone did not express too much, but continued to chat casually. The gray-haired Mr. Morgan casually said to Marshall:

"I haven't had time to congratulate you, Mr. Secretary of State!"

Fang Lang was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Marshall would be appointed as Secretary of State at this time. No wonder the other party would come back from China. It seems that the other party did not return home because of the failure of his mission in China.

.

In response, Marshall just smiled, waved his hand nonchalantly and said:

"It's too early to congratulate me now. It will not take effect until Mr. Truman's formal appointment. If that time comes, I will need the strong support of all my bosses."

Everyone in the reception room smiled knowingly after hearing this.

"Definitely, definitely! Our project also needs Mr. Marshall's full advancement, doesn't it?"

Even Alvin Rockefeller, who supported the Republican Party, responded at the right time.

Butler Zulf Henry listened to the conversation of several people. His face was calm, but his heart had already stirred up huge waves. It turned out that Mr. Marshall was not a simple retired general, but would soon serve as the U.S. Army General.

Secretary of State's heavyweight.

This kind of news, which has not yet been known to the outside world, is already well known among the big shots, and it seems that there are some incredible plans in progress.

Obviously, his boss was one of the important participants in this plan, which made him take a breath of cold air. After quickly pouring the tea for several people, he politely signaled to everyone and quickly left the meeting.

Guest room.

Knowing that what everyone in the reception room was discussing must be a huge project, he handed over the tea set in his hand to a servant without hesitation, and cleared out everyone nearby.

p>

After all, the fewer people who know about such an important matter, the better. If a disobedient servant hears it and spreads it, it will cause big trouble.

At this time, he only believed in himself, so he stood far away in the corridor outside the reception room, making sure that he would not hear, and at the same time, he would never allow anyone else to approach the reception room.

Of course, no one in these rooms knew about it, and no one cared about it. After all, things were being discussed on Fang Lang's territory. If it spread, Fang Lang would be responsible.

As the head of the family, if Fang Lang can't control his servants, he won't be qualified to participate in their gathering.

Charles Morgan glanced at Alvin Rockefeller, and then inadvertently glanced at Fang Lang, who was smiling and seemed to have everything under control, and then slowly said to Marshall:

"I heard that there is still a project that no one has taken over, right? Since we are all friends, if Mr. Marshall needs any help, please feel free to tell us and let us all know the details."

As soon as these words were spoken, Alvin Rockefeller first focused his gaze, and his gaze stayed on Fang Lang's face for a moment. After discovering that Fang Lang also frowned with a vigilant expression, he turned his gaze to Marshall again.
Fang Lang naturally noticed the other party's gaze. He understood Alvin Rockefeller's scruples. After all, he was invited to the banquet by Fang Lang.

Originally, Alvin Rockefeller just wanted to establish a certain relationship with Fang Lang. Unexpectedly, he met several members of the Morgan family and the incoming Secretary of State.

Originally, the current U.S. government is run by the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party is basically supported by the Morgan consortium, just like the relationship between the Republican Party and the Rockefeller family.

Marshall, who is about to take up the post of US Secretary of State under the Democratic Party, is naturally a loyal ally of the Morgan family. In this case, when Charles Morgan's words were heard in Rockefeller's ears, it sounded like a trap waiting for him to infiltrate.

.

Fang Lang, who came forward to invite him this time, naturally aroused his suspicion.

Fang Lang was naturally aware of this, but at this time he could only smile bitterly. After all, his purpose of inviting Alvin Rockefeller was also to create pressure on the Morgan family.

I didn't expect that Marshall would suddenly come to this dinner. Now it seems that this arrival must have been intentional by the Morgan family.

Fortunately, I invited Rockefeller, otherwise I would have to face the strong pressure from the American political and business circles alone.

Marshall was slightly startled when he heard Morgan getting straight to the point, but he quickly reacted and glanced at the faces of Fang Lang and Rockefeller.

As a politician, he does not want to offend two other powerful capital parties at the same time. But now the topic raised by Morgan is indeed an issue that he urgently needs to solve.

After pondering for a moment, Marshall gritted his teeth, forced out a smile and said:

"This is indeed the case. Since you are all here, I will talk about it. If you have any good ideas, please feel free to give them your advice."

Neither Alvin Rockefeller nor Fang Lang spoke, but looked at Marshall with smiles on their faces, as if waiting for his next words.

Halken Morgan, chairman of Morgan Company, laughed and said:

"If you have any difficulties, Mr. Marshall, please feel free to ask. We here will definitely give you our full support."

This sentence directly represented both Fang Lang and Rockefeller, but no one said anything at this time. Everyone was just waiting quietly for Marshall to speak.

Seeing this scene, Marshall knew that he no longer needed to be reserved. He coughed lightly and said slowly:

"I believe everyone is already very clear about the purpose of this European aid plan, so there is no need for me to elaborate further here.

Judging from our previous contacts with European countries, in addition to solving the food and clothing problems of the local people, we also need to find ways to quickly restore the local economy.

And if we want to restore the economy, we now encounter a problem, that is, the bridges and roads in European countries have been severely damaged by the war, and almost no one is left.

If you want to quickly restore the economy of various places, you must solve the transportation problem. However, the local government is no longer able to invest funds in these infrastructure constructions.

And it is impossible for our U.S. government to invest huge amounts of money to build these infrastructures for other countries. This will drive taxpayers crazy, so we need someone to step up and take over the road traffic restoration work in Europe."

His meaning was very clear. The European aid plan needs to take into account the attitude of American taxpayers. It is impossible to invest American taxpayers' money in Europe to help them build infrastructure.

This will make American taxpayers revolt. And this kind of infrastructure project is obviously a thankless task. Now everyone is willing to take over it, so the government is now very headache.

But when Fang Lang heard these words, he felt a little confused. What is going on? What's going on with road traffic construction? Is this a thankless business?

Think about the various road and bridge companies in my hometown in later generations. Those who are not making a lot of money. Those toll road or expressway companies are not very wealthy and can make money just by sitting.

Could it be that there were no toll roads in European and American countries at this time? This is impossible! As far as he knew, toll roads had already appeared in European and American countries a long time ago!
