Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat

Chapter 423 New business for military contracting companies

Fang Lang and Alvin Rockefeller knew very well that once they chose to invest in this bank, the proportion of shares they could obtain would definitely not reach the original 30%.

Moreover, it is obvious that the Morgan family, as one of the original shareholders of this bank, must have a very huge influence on this bank and can almost absolutely control the business direction of this bank.

But they don't mind. After all, there is a bank that was originally responsible for allocating German reparations. Their entry into the European financial market will definitely not be particularly obvious. At least, other consortiums in the United States will not immediately react to what happened.

matter.

As for the Morgan consortium, as the original shareholder, which does not need to invest money to buy shares, they will not take it to heart.

And Fang Lang, who knows the future achievements of this bank, will certainly not refuse this opportunity to invest. When it comes to whether history will change because of his intervention, the answer is yes.

But he believes that this change is definitely a change for the better. After all, the bank will not have the opportunity to intervene in the European aid plan in advance in the future like it does now.

After receiving a clear answer, Charles Morgan just smiled and nodded:

"Well, since you don't have any objections, let's use this bank's shell to complete our plan!"

Seeing that he didn't mention how to operate it, Alvin Rockefeller said directly:

“I don’t know what the equity structure of this bank is, and how our shareholding proportions are distributed!”

Fang Lang just took a puff of his cigarette silently and looked at the expressions of Halken Morgan and Eli Morgan, wanting to see if there were any traps that he hadn't noticed.

However, seeing the two of them looking at the head of his family with surprised expressions, Fang Lang knew that he might be overthinking.

Obviously, this proposal may have been a temporary thought of Charles Morgan. Considering that this plan was only proposed tonight, the Morgan family should not have made arrangements so quickly.

Besides, we are destined to become long-term partners. It is necessary to maintain the necessary vigilance, but there is no need to be overly suspicious.

"The central banks of several major countries hold 35% of the shares, so we have to find a way to get the remaining 65% of the shares. If you don't have any objections, the distribution ratio will be based on our 65% share."

Twenty-five, 20% for each of your families, what do you think?"

Fang Lang and Alvin Rockefeller were both stunned. Apparently they did not expect that the other party would be so generous. He only held 25% of the shares.

The two looked at each other and exchanged their thoughts. Alvin Rockefeller nodded simply and said:

"I have no objection."

Fang Lang followed and smiled:

"I don't have any objection either."

Charles Morgan seemed to have expected this, and nodded with a smile:

"Okay, in that case, let me come forward to negotiate with other shareholders, acquire the 65% of the shares first, and then transfer 20% of the shares to each of you based on the market value!"

Although he didn't know why the other party suddenly became so easy to talk to, and even took the initiative to acquire the shares. But Fang Lang didn't think much about it. After all, he didn't know whether the other party would make much profit from the acquisition.

What a big deal.

As long as he can successfully become a shareholder of the Bank for International Settlements, he will have achieved his goal, so he nodded directly:

"no problem."

Alvin Rockefeller took a deep drag on his cigarette and seemed to find nothing unusual. He smiled and nodded:

"Can."

Hearing this, Charles Morgan stood up first with a smile, stretched out his right hand and said:

"In this case, I wish us a happy cooperation!"

After Fang Lang and Alvin Rockefeller looked at each other, they stood up directly, laughed and stretched out their right hands, holding the three hands tightly together.

"Haha. Happy cooperation!"

In this way, everyone reached a consensus in this simple reception room, and the Bank for International Settlements, which will almost become the European Central Bank in the future, officially began its restructuring work.

By the time Fang Lang sent several guests out of the manor, the sky in the distance had turned slightly white.

After achieving his goal, Fang Lang did not feel tired, but felt indescribably excited. This was the Bank for International Settlements! He never expected that tonight's banquet would have such a huge harvest.

In addition to asking the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family to help him acquire Caterpillar shares, he also became one of the major shareholders of the Bank for International Settlements.

With these, the direct offspring will be able to lie almost flat in the future.

As for building highways in Europe, there is no problem at all. Anyway, the funds for road construction are borrowed from banks, and the construction company is responsible for the construction.

No matter how you calculate it, you will definitely make a profit without losing any money, so what is there to be dissatisfied about?

Therefore, when Fang Lang returned to the room, he had no intention of sleeping at all. Looking at Lilith and Vivian who were sleeping soundly, Fang Lang's lips unconsciously showed a malicious smile.

Soon exclamations began to be heard in the room:

"ah!"

"I want to sleep!"

"No!"

Soon the exclamations slowly began to turn into rapid gasps.

After a crazy night, the three of them didn't get up from the room until noon the next day. After a while of tenderness, Fang Lang hurried back to the Universal Group's office and organized an afternoon meeting.

After communicating with the two major families, he arranged the things that needed to be done by his company, and asked the company to start preparing funds and be ready to take over Caterpillar Company at any time.

And conveyed the work direction and ideas after taking over Caterpillar.

In the next few days, Fang Lang became very busy and had no time to spend with Lilith and Vivian.

Fortunately, Lilith and Vivian invited some of their best friends and classmates over this time, so they took their best friends and classmates with them every day to experience the prosperity of New York.

Surprisingly, Fang Lang did not receive a call from General Joseph Clark immediately. This made Fang Lang feel very surprised. After all, Charlie Cole was his nephew no matter what, and his behavior at the banquet was...

Fang Lang was completely offended.

It stands to reason that no matter what his attitude is, General Joseph Clark should come forward to express his attitude to Fang Lang.

But more than half a month passed, and two days after Fang Lang returned to the military base in Natal, Brazil, Joseph Clark walked into Fang Lang's office holding a stack of documents!

"Boss, this is the new business information of the military contracting company, please take a look!"

During this meeting, Fang Lang asked his adjutant Qi Qingshan to inform him that there was a new mission for him, so he came over.

I don't know since when, Joseph Clark also started calling Fang Lang boss like Fang Lang's subordinates. Fang Lang, considering the brotherly relationship between himself and John Clark, asked him more than once not to call him that way.

But they were all rejected by Joseph Clark.

Looking at the tired-looking Joseph Clark, Fang Lang understood that he must have been busy with the affairs of the military contracting company recently. He stood up with a smile, pointed to the tea table in his office and said casually:

"Thank you for your hard work, General Clark. Sit down and have a sip of tea. Give me the information and I'll take a look at it later."

Joseph Clark squeezed out a smile on his tired face, and said with a reluctant smile:

"Okay, boss. Thanks to General Marshall's intervention this time, we have recruited enough manpower."

It turns out that this company is too large, the business it undertakes is very sensitive, and it recruits too many professionals from the U.S. military, which arouses the vigilance of the U.S. military.

Coupled with the Brazilian identity of his boss Fang Lang, General Clark still has some connections in the U.S. Navy and can recruit enough talents from the U.S. Navy. However, General Clark is really helpless in the Army.

But how could such a military underwriting company not have professionals from the Army? It turned out that there was no good solution to this matter.

Ever since Fang Lang made friends with General Marshall in New York, Fang Lang informed the other party about this matter, and the matter was quickly resolved smoothly.

Moreover, the speed of solution and the manpower recruited greatly exceeded Fang Lang's expectations.

While cleaning the tea set on the table, Fang Lang smiled at General Joseph Clark and said:

"In addition to saying hello and making it easier for us to recruit people, General Marshall has introduced you to any new business?"

Joseph Clark was stunned by these words. He glanced at the busy and casual Fang Lang with some confusion, and asked hesitantly:

"Ah! That's true. Boss, do you have any new news?

Does the US military currently have orders suitable for us?"

While taking the tea leaves out of the tea can, Fang Lang raised his eyes and glanced at Joseph Clark, who looked puzzled. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he slowly said:

"How are your connections with the U.S. Department of Defense?"

Joseph Clark, who was confused by Fang Lang's leaping thinking, became even more confused. Hearing Fang Lang's question, he smiled bitterly and said helplessly:

"Boss, a minority like me is able to reach the position that I am in the U.S. military thanks to the war. Otherwise, I would probably be a naval colonel.

If you ask me about my relationship with the Ministry of National Defense, I can only tell you that I know some people, but my influence is limited."

Fang Lang took one look at the opponent's obvious appearance of Indian origin, nodded in understanding, paused for a moment before saying:

"I understand. Let's do this! You should know that among retired generals, those people have greater influence on the Ministry of National Defense!"

Joseph Clark was able to become a rear admiral of the U.S. Navy as an Indian, so his mind was naturally quite flexible. After hearing these words, he already had some guesses of his own. He said with some uncertainty:

"Boss, what do you mean, let us win over a few people like this? But is this necessary?"

While making tea, Fang Lang smiled at Joseph Clark and said:

"It's not about wooing. My opinion is that it's best to hire a few influential generals to serve as consultants to our military contracting companies. It's best to have them in all three armed forces.

They don’t need to come to the company to clock in every day, but when we need them, they need to be able to come out and solve problems for us.”

At this time, Joseph Clark's eyes lit up and he said with some surprise:

"I understand, so that we will not be as passive as this time. If we want to recruit some excellent army talents, we will be restricted in every way."

Passing a cup of brewed tea in front of Joseph Clark, Fang Lang smiled and made a gesture to invite tea and said:

"This is just one aspect. Do you remember what I just asked you about whether General Marshall introduced business to you?"

Joseph Clark said thank you after taking the tea cup, and looked at Fang Lang with some surprise:

"What does the boss mean? The US military really has business orders suitable for us now?"

Hearing this, Fang Lang picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said to Joseph Clark:

"It should still be promoted now. I predict that the White House will be able to make up its mind in March this year. If once confirmed, then we will make a fortune."

As the head of a military contracting company, Joseph Clark certainly hopes that the company he is responsible for will get as much business as possible. After hearing what Fang Lang said, he quickly asked with some excitement:

"Boss, do you have any new news?"

Regarding this matter, Fang Lang believes that there will be news soon. As one of his own, Joseph Clark, Fang Lang does not want to hide it. After all, he is planning to let him be responsible for lobbying the US government!

So, he smiled and said:

"Now the influence of the Soviet Communist Party in Europe is expanding rapidly, and the U.S. government is very worried about this. I believe you are aware of this, right?"

Hearing this, Joseph Clark nodded, hesitantly and said:

"Isn't it going to go to war with the Soviet Communist Party? We can't get involved in such a big thing!"

"Haha. The world war has just ended. Neither the United States nor the Soviet Communist Party wants to see such a large-scale war. Therefore, the situation you mentioned cannot happen.

However, the U.S. government's vigilance against the Soviet Communist Party has been raised to the highest level. Former British Prime Minister Fatty Qiu came to the United States to give a speech, and Mr. Truman personally attended it. Do you know about this?"

Joseph Clark was certainly aware of the issue raised by Fang Lang. After all, as a senior general in the military, he must be the first to grasp this kind of current news, which is related to the future direction of government policy.

He nodded unconsciously, but still didn't quite understand the business Fang Lang mentioned.

Fang Lang saw the other party's expression, smiled, and continued to say pretentiously:

"After General Marshall and I got to know each other this time, we had an in-depth discussion on this matter. I gave him an idea, which is for the United States to intervene directly in this chaotic situation in European countries.

To completely eradicate the influence of the Soviet Communist Party in Europe, to do this, the US government must launch military intervention.

I estimate that the U.S. government should have started to discuss this matter now, and there should be a definite result soon."

Joseph Clark opened his mouth and looked at Fang Lang in surprise, and said in disbelief:

"You mean that the United States may send troops into these European countries to directly suppress the opposition in these countries with force?

If this is the case, can the governments of these countries accept such overreaching behavior by the U.S. government?"

It seems that Americans at this period have indeed not developed the character of a global village for future generations, and they still have some bottom lines in their hearts. Unfortunately, this bottom line will soon be broken under their own promotion.

At this moment, Fang Lang felt an indescribable feeling well up in his heart.
