Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat

"Sir! Here we are, this is the address you provided." Under the dim light, the taxi stopped outside a small villa in the suburbs of New York.

"Okay, thank you! Don't look for the rest, it's your tip!" Fang Lang got out of the taxi, holding a large box of Chinatown specialty pastries in his hand. He walked straight to the door of the villa and knocked on the door.

.

"Is Mrs. Clark at home?"

There were lights on in the house, and Fang Lang knew that someone was at home. In fact, it was not polite to come to visit others so late, but Fang Lang had to study at school during the day, and his time was tight and his tasks were heavy. There was really no way to come out to visit during the day, so he had to take the liberty

visiting at night.

Fortunately, after Commodore Jackson suggested that Fang Lang visit John's mother, Fang Lang sent a telegram to John, who was serving in the Pacific Fleet. Unexpectedly, he got a response very quickly. After John learned of Fang Lang's needs, he directly expressed

I will send a telegram to my mother first and ask Fang Lang to visit directly.

Before departure, Wan Chongxin once again reported that he had not found a supplier of penicillin production equipment, which forced Fang Lang to transfer his hope to Mrs. Clark's family's machinery factory.

Soon a young girl in her early twenties opened the door, looked at Fang Lang at the door and said:

"Who are you looking for?"

Fang Lang looked at the girl in front of him and knew that he was looking for the right place, because the girl's facial features were somewhat similar to John's. Fang Lang smiled politely and said:

"Hello! I am John's comrade. My name is Fang Lang. I don't know if John has told you."

"Ah! You're finally here. Mom and I have been waiting for you all day. My brother sent a telegram home. We thought you would come during the day!"

Sofia Clark happily opened the door, pointed to the room with her hand, and motioned for Fang Lang to come in.

The girl's words made Fang Lang a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that they would be waiting for his arrival at home.

"I'm really sorry, because I am currently studying in a short-term training class at West Point Military Academy, so I have to study during the day, and I only have time to visit at night!"

As he spoke, he walked into the room. The room was not big and had a typical American villa style. Mrs. Clark, who was in the house, also walked out with a smile on her face. After hearing what Fang Lang said, she smiled and said:

"It's okay, Fang. John told us that you are his savior. Come inside and sit down. It's cold outside."

Fang Lang saw that there were only two women at home. It seemed inappropriate for him to come so late. He had made a mistake! This made Fang Lang a little embarrassed. He quickly said:

"Mrs. Clark is really very sorry. She should have come to visit you earlier. Now that I have troubled you to wait, I have brought some snacks from us Chinese people. I hope you like it."

Seeing Fang Lang's embarrassed expression, Mrs. Clark smiled, took the gift box handed over by Fang Lang, and motioned for Fang Lang to sit on the sofa in the living room.

"Sophia pours Fang a cup of coffee! Fang, have you had dinner? I'm going to make you some food now."

Fang Lang waved his hands repeatedly, "Mrs. Clark, I've already eaten at school. A sip of hot coffee will be good."

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this visit was very rude, but since he was already here, it was not good to just turn around and leave!

"Fang, don't be restrained. John said you need my help with something, right?"

Hearing Mrs. Clark ask directly, Fang Lang also breathed a sigh of relief. Since he was already here, there was nothing to be pretentious about, so he said calmly:

"Yes, Mrs. Clark, I heard from Brigadier General Jackson that your family has the means to obtain the production equipment and production technology of penicillin, right?"

Mrs. Clark is obviously a housewife who does not participate in her mother's business, but she has also heard of penicillin, an anti-inflammatory drug.

"Penicillin! There is no shortage of this new drug in the US market now!"

"Yes, Mrs. Clark, the main reason is that my family wants to invest in building a factory in Brazil to produce this drug."

After hearing that Fang Lang's family wanted to build a factory in Brazil, it was also a business, and it was just a piece of cake for her, so Mrs. Clark said without hesitation:

"Let's do this! You sit here for a while, and I'll go up and make a call to ask about my brother. My father's factory is now managed by my brother, and I don't know the situation very well. But since Jackson asked you to come here

Me, that shouldn’t be a big problem.”

Fang Lang stopped being polite and said directly:

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Mrs. Clark."

Mrs. Clark nodded and walked up to the second floor.

At this time, Sofia Clark was walking out with a cup of coffee and said:

"Hey! Your name is Fang, right? I heard John say that you saved his life on the battlefield, is that true?"

Sophia is a typical American girl. She is about 1.7 meters tall and curvy. Because she is of mixed race, her face is not the angular type common in Europe and America. Instead, she has an Asian softness. Her skin is a healthy wheat color, which is very suitable for her.

Fang Lang's aesthetics.

"Yes, it's actually nothing. We are comrades-in-arms. If he encounters such a situation on the battlefield, he will save me!"

After all, Fang Lang still had the humble character of Chinese people and didn't want to give people the feeling of being repaying a favor, so he expressed it very calmly.

It's a pity that Sophia didn't want to let him go so easily. She sat down next to him and said:

"Quick, quick, tell me what happened at that time. John didn't explain clearly. He is my brother and I know him very well. If it wasn't true, he wouldn't have sent a special telegram to ask my mother to help you!

”

"Okay! In fact, what happened is very simple. At that time, we were launching an attack on the position defended by the Germans. John's leg was hit by a stray bullet and he fell in the trench. When I passed by him, I heard the German

He heard the whistling sound of approaching artillery shells, and when he felt something was wrong, he rushed over and dragged him out of the trench.

As soon as we came out, the shell hit exactly where your brother was lying. Because I was standing, I was directly blown away by the shock wave of the shell for more than ten meters. I didn't know anything when I landed on the ground! When I woke up,

It is already more than ten days later. I am lying in the hospital with your brother."

Although Fang Lang said it very easily, the situation at that time must have been very thrilling, and Fang Lang was directly thrown more than ten meters by a shell because he saved John. If it were not for his fate, he would have died long ago.

Sophia's mouth was so open that she could fit a fist into it, and her face turned pale. She was obviously frightened by the scene Fang Lang said.

"Oh my God! The war is so terrible. This damn war, I don't know when it will end. I really hope John can go home soon, and I never want him to experience such a horrible thing again."

Seeing Sophia's expression and face, Fang Lang thought that he would have known better and would not have told her. His relatives would not be able to hear such exciting news. Fortunately, he did not tell his family about the scene when he returned home, otherwise his mother would have been frightened and cried.

.

"It's okay now. He works in the Navy's logistics department. He doesn't have to rush to the front line anymore. There's nothing dangerous. Don't worry!"

Of course Sophia knew about John's current job, but thinking about her brother's experience at that time, she still said with lingering fear: "Fang, brother is right, you are his savior. Without you, brother would have been dead."

Saved! Thank you! If it weren’t for you, I would have lost John forever.”

Fang Lang also felt at ease with Sophia's gratitude. After all, the original person did sacrifice his own life to save John's life.

"It's okay. Everything is over. We all have to move on, right? We are both living well now."

American women in this era were not as open as later generations. Although the women's liberation movement had begun to emerge, most women were still relatively conservative. Therefore, Fang Lang originally wanted to give Sophia a hug to comfort her. Thinking about it, he still didn't open up.

’s embrace.

"Yes! You all should do well. By the way, why did you come to New York to study! Aren't you a Brazilian Expeditionary Force?"

The American girl's emotions came and went quickly. In a blink of an eye, the topic turned to Fang Lang, which made Fang Lang, who was about to comfort Sophia again, a little mistaken.

"Uh! Well! It's a long story. Due to my injuries, I always fainted suddenly for no apparent reason. Therefore, after the military doctor judged that I was not suitable to continue serving in the Army, I was transferred to the Navy's transport ship.

It's equivalent to switching to logistics. Some time ago, Brazil and the United States reached an agreement to train a new group of captains, so I was selected to participate in the training."
