Chapter 550 Xin Shiliang’s new job

I have to say that Xin Shiliang is much more cheerful and confident now than when he first rescued them from the Japs Mine.

Perhaps it was after working in the Fangyuan Group Secretariat during this period that he regained his confidence. As the old saying goes, one's temperament can be cultivated by being in a leadership position for a long time.

"Haha...Okay! Mr. Xin is indeed a smart man.

But this job is not something you can do well just by being smart. I wonder if you had a lot of contact with those old white people in Brazil?"

Xin Shiliang was slightly startled by Fang Lang's words, looked at Fang Lang with some confusion, and slowly said:

"Of course there is contact. There are many old whites and many black olds in the company, and most of them are mixed. Is this job just to deal with them?"

"So what do you think of these people? Have you ever been discriminated against by them?"

Fang Lang looked at Xin Shiliang with interest, wondering what he thought of these people.

Hearing this, Xin Shiliang took a deep breath, his face slowly became serious, and after a long time he nodded and said:

"These people are not very good. White people have an innate sense of superiority, as if they are inherently superior to others.

Those mixed-race Brazilians seem to be better off, at least in the process of contact, they don't discriminate against us Chinese.

Black people are different. They seem to look down on us more than white people, but they will be discriminated against by mixed-race Brazilians.

It was fine when I was working in the company and I didn’t encounter any discrimination, but I did encounter discrimination several times outside.”

"Oh! How did you deal with discrimination when you encountered it?"

Upon hearing this question, Xin Shiliang immediately felt that this might be closely related to his future work, but he had no intention of lying to Fang Lang.

Instead, he sighed softly and said:

"I didn't deal with it very much. Normally I would pretend not to know."

When Fang Lang heard this, he frowned slightly. He was obviously very dissatisfied with this answer. But he didn't say anything, and he didn't stop making tea in his hand.

Xin Shiliang saw that Fang Lang did not comment, so he continued:

"I have actually discussed this issue with my colleagues in the company, especially those who have been to European and American countries. They generally believe that racial discrimination in Brazil is not serious.

Local residents believe that this is related to the racial whitening policy implemented by Brazil between 1889 and 1914. During that period, the Brazilian government implemented a eugenic policy and attempted to dilute the blood of blacks through the mixing of whites and blacks to improve the quality of the population.

This is actually a racial policy that expresses the superiority of the white race. However, this policy has created a large number of mixed-race people, which in turn has promoted the racial integration of Brazil.

I have to say this makes people a little bit dumbfounded.

I have never been to the United States. I heard them say that the United States adopts a policy of apartheid, so racial discrimination in the United States is very serious.

According to colleagues, former U.S. President Roosevelt once said that the difference between the United States and Brazil is the attitude towards black people. In Brazil, all black people can get positions that match their abilities.

Of course, these are all racial perceptions among the locals. We, the foreign Chinese, are actually excluded from these racial perceptions.

Therefore, we occasionally encounter discrimination several times. I believe that with the passage of time, the improvement of our Chinese social status and the increase of the Chinese base, the phenomenon of discrimination against us in Brazil will definitely be improved."

Fang Lang glanced at Xin Shiliang in surprise. He really didn't expect that the other party actually knew about the racial discrimination problem in Brazil.

In fact, what Xin Shiliang said is not wrong. The problem of racial discrimination in Brazil is much better than that in the United States. The root cause is indeed, as Xin Shiliang said, a large number of mixed-race people created by Brazil's original racial whitening policy.

related.

This directly promotes the racial integration of Brazil. Therefore, Brazilians do not generally discriminate against other racial populations like Americans, but this does not mean that racial discrimination does not exist in Brazil.

After all, the same rice feeds hundreds of people. Everyone has a different living environment, different levels of education, and naturally has different views on society and race. It is normal for racial discrimination to exist.

Just because Fang Lang is Chinese, he can achieve his current status in the Brazilian Navy. It can be seen that the phenomenon of racial discrimination in Brazil is not very serious.

After all, if Fang Lang were in the United States or Europe, I believe that no matter how capable he is, he would not be able to achieve his current status.

What satisfies Fang Lang the most is that Xin Shiliang believes that Chinese people can change the current situation of discrimination.

"Oh! Do you think the status of us Chinese in Brazil can be improved?"

"Of course, with the presence of you and your family, and your family's great help to Chinese immigrants, I am very optimistic about the future status of the Chinese in Brazil."

Xin Shiliang nodded very firmly to express his attitude.

"Then are you willing to contribute to improving the status of us Chinese in Brazil?"

Fang Lang smiled and handed a cup of freshly brewed tea to Xin Shiliang.

Xin Shiliang tapped the tea table with his hand and thanked Fang Lang for the tea. He looked at Fang Lang in disbelief, then immediately showed a happy face, nodded firmly and said:

"It's my wish, but I don't dare to ask for my ear!"

Fang Lang was not surprised at all by Xin Shiliang's attitude. After all, the Fang family had done nothing to cover up what they had done in Brazil in recent years. As long as they were Chinese in Brazil, there was no one who was not grateful to the Fang family.

Moreover, the elders in the earliest overseas Chinese villages were constantly promoting that everything the Fang family did was to improve the status of the Chinese in Brazil.

All Chinese immigrants will be brainwashed before entering Brazil, telling them that the reason why they have the job they have now or are able to come to Brazil is due to the Fang family.

Therefore, the status of the Fang family in the hearts of the Chinese in Brazil is now very high, and some people of insight certainly hope that they can also contribute to the rise of the Chinese.

Fang Lang felt very satisfied when he saw Xin Shiliang agreed to his proposal without hesitation. Speaking of which, the job he asked him to do was very important.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't find the right manpower to take charge of this matter, Fang Lang would really be unwilling to let outsiders take charge. But since his father sent Xin Shiliang here, it at least shows that his father trusts him.

"Now our Fang family has a decisive influence in the Brazilian business community, but just having influence in the business community is far from enough.

If we Chinese are simply rich, then sooner or later we will be pulled out as fat sheep and harvested. This is why I have stayed in the Navy.

The military power in my hands now can protect the interests of our Fang family in Brazil. No one dares to infringe upon it, but our Fang family cannot be the only Chinese in Brazil.

If the Chinese want to rise, more Fang family members must stand up, but these Chinese who stand up do not have the protection of military power like me. This requires more Chinese to join the army. I am already working on this. For the time being,

Don't worry too much.

Our shortcoming now lies in the political sector. Although Brazil is a capitalist country and the business community has huge influence on the political sector, it is not enough for us Chinese businessmen to simply support local Brazilian politicians.

We need to have politicians who directly represent the interests of the Chinese, but now that the power of the Chinese has just begun in Brazil, this will certainly not be achieved so quickly.

At this time, we need to first cultivate pro-China politicians to achieve our political goals and at the same time protect the status of our Chinese.

You have worked in the Secretariat of Fangyuan Group, and you should know that our Fangyuan Group also has great influence in Brazilian political circles.

But it turns out that we obviously don’t pay enough attention to these political forces. For example, the Social Democratic Party, the largest party in Brazil, is actually supported by Nice Company, a subsidiary of Fangyuan Group.

Because of my status as a soldier, it turns out that we have not been too involved in the work of the Social Democratic Party, nor have we deliberately selected and cultivated pro-China forces within the party.

Now I have received information that the Labor Party formed by former President Mr. Vargas has taken a fancy to the union organization of our group and wants to attack our union.

I need to mobilize the political influence of our group to fight back against them, because my status as a soldier is not suitable for directly contacting politicians supported by the company, so do you know what your job is?"

Fang Lang's long speech gave Xin Shi some understanding of Fang Lang's thoughts in his conscience. Fang Lang also expressed his meaning very clearly. To be honest, this job is not impossible to do.

But it is too important. Once he takes over this job, it means that he will become the spokesperson of the Fang family in the political world. From then on, he himself will naturally have unparalleled political influence.

But precisely because of this, he was inevitably a little worried. If he did it well, it would be fine. If he didn't do it well, there would be big problems.

"Young master, this... could you please think about it again? This job is really important. Is it possible that I am not suitable?"

Fang Lang is certainly aware of Xin Shiliang's concerns. If possible, he does not want an outsider to take charge of this job, but now they really do not have a suitable candidate.

And Xin Shiliang was recommended by Fang Lang's father. No matter what Fang Lang thought directly in his heart, he must give him a chance.

This position is of course very important, but it is not irreplaceable. After all, all the power in this position comes from the support of the Fang family. Once the Fang family wants to change someone to take charge of this work, Xin Shiliang has no room for resistance.

Fang Lang is not worried that Xin Shiliang will lose control. Of course, Fang Lang will not take any precautions in such an important position. When the time comes, he will definitely have manpower from the Investigation Department and Logistics Department of Fangyuan Group around him.

It is not only to prevent the other party from losing control, but also to remind the other party to always pay attention to his identity. He believes that smart people will know what they should do.

"Haha... don't worry. Since my father recommended you to me, it shows his trust in you. I rescued you from the Japanese mine. I also know something about you. I think you are also suitable.

this job.

I understand what you are worried about, and I can say something up front. Since I have arranged for you to be responsible for this work, I am sure that you can abide by my rules of the game.

Moreover, this work cannot be completed by you alone. I will select suitable assistants for you. As long as you work hard, I will definitely give you the greatest support."

Fang Lang's words were not implicit. As a former office director, Xin Shiliang, there is no difference between such hints and explicit statements.

He didn't feel any dissatisfaction with this. On the contrary, he felt that this would make him feel at ease. After all, power without supervision would sooner or later get out of control.

He didn't want to lose himself in power after taking this job and end up paying an unbearable price. Now Fang Lang's meaning made him understand that there would be people watching around him, which would allow him to remind himself all the time,

And know your position.

"Shaodong, if you really ask me to be responsible for contacting the Fang family's political resources alone, I really don't dare to do it, but if you arrange for someone to come with me, I will be fine.

If I understand correctly, I mainly represent Fangyuan Group and contact various politicians supported by Fangyuan Group, right?"

Xin Shiliang's words made Fang Lang smile slightly, understanding that the other party was expressing his stance to him, indicating that the other party had a sense of awe in his heart. This was good, at least he didn't have to worry about being cruel to his subordinates in the future.

.

"Yes, we are not only responsible for contacting those politicians on behalf of Fangyuan Group, but we are also responsible for investigating these politicians and forming a complete report on their situation. We need to know every politician we support.

You can also use the rights we give you to mobilize the enthusiasm of politicians, or suppress politicians who do not abide by the rules of the game. You can also discover or find potential politicians for training through your own investigations.

If you can control these politicians, it means that your work has been successful.

Of course, your main job is to report to me and work under my leadership. However, you know my identity and you are still nominally my father's person.

There is no contact between you and me, and you don’t need to meet me. I will contact you through confidential channels.

It can also be said that your job actually involves certain risks. Once someone discovers that you are working under my command, the Brazilian political circles may think that I am suspected of military interference in politics.

Therefore, you must maintain absolute confidentiality, and I will send people to strictly protect you, once you are caught."

"Don't worry, young master, no one will catch me alive!"

Before Fang Lang could finish his words, Xin Shiliang had already spoken with a firm tone and firm eyes.

Seeing this scene, Fang Lang said nothing, but nodded with satisfaction.

"Contacting these current politicians can only be regarded as the first stage of your work. The really important work is the second stage. In the future, you will be responsible for using our resources to open an upward path for Chinese politicians.

Let us Chinese be able to make our voices heard in Brazilian politics.

If you have been the director of the municipal government office, you should know what a qualified politician should look like. What words can be believed and what words cannot be believed? You must select Chinese politicians who truly have the interests of the Chinese people at heart.

We cannot allow those speculators with evil intentions to use our resources to get into positions. It can be said that your position is related to the future political status of us Chinese in Brazil. Do you understand?"
