Chapter 573 Two Years of Development

After re-adjusting the investment strategy of Pan-European Highway Management Company, Fang Lang's Global Group also adjusted its investment policy in Europe.

It was decided not to wait for the official start of the European aid plan, but to travel to European countries in advance to inspect the local market environment and look for suitable investment opportunities.

Because of Fang Lang's clear instructions, everyone knows the contents of the upcoming European aid plan, so the investment goals in Europe are very clear.

This information advantage made Universal Group's investment projects in various European countries very smooth. With the support of Universal Morgan Bank, the Brazilian Development Bank, and the Bank for International Settlements, Universal Group began to acquire high-quality assets across Europe with its strong financial advantages.

, and re-integrate.

Global Group expanded rapidly and became a large global conglomerate with huge influence in Europe and the United States.

At the same time, Fangyuan Group also took the opportunity to quietly penetrate into the European market under the cover of Universal Group, and launched annexation and integration operations towards some small companies with obvious technological advantages and independent intellectual property rights.

From the end of 1947 to the middle of 1949, the size of Universal Group expanded more than ten times as quickly as a balloon.

Fangyuan Group, on the other hand, quietly acquired more than 200 high-quality companies in Europe, integrated the resources of these companies, digested and absorbed them, and became a large multinational group company spanning Europe and the United States.

Because of Fangyuan Group's Brazilian capital background, Fangyuan Group's influence in Brazil is increasing day by day, and it has become the well-deserved largest capital plutocrat in Brazil.

At the same time, in more than two years, Chinese influence in Brazil has begun to flourish in Brazil, and the influence of the Chinese has also begun to increase rapidly.

The Brazilian Asset Management Company, supported by the Brazilian Development Bank, has vigorously supported Chinese capital in two years, allowing Chinese capital to flourish in Brazil.

The Chinese Mutual Aid Chamber of Commerce was established at the end of 1947 by Fang Xinshan, chairman of Fangyuan Group. In just two years, it rapidly expanded from more than 50 people to more than 5,000 people.

All businessmen who join the Chinese Mutual Aid Association can receive all-round support in terms of capital and technology as long as they put forward their needs and guarantees. Strong Chinese businessmen have begun to enter Brazil's cotton spinning, clothing, food processing, cane sugar, alcohol, leather and other fields.

Light industry.

More Chinese chose to enter the catering and retail industries with relatively small capital investment. For a time, the number of small shops operated by Chinese in Brazil increased from more than 3,000 at the end of 1947 to more than 500,000, and some shops were even larger.

It has already reached some remote towns in Brazil.

With the expansion of these business territories, the Chinese began to develop throughout Brazil. By the end of 1949, Chinatowns had appeared in cities such as Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Porto Alegre, Recife, and Natal.

The influence of the Chinese in Brazil has also begun to gradually increase.

In order to protect the political interests of the Chinese in Brazil, with the support of the Fangyuan Group, many Chinese who were willing to join politics were discovered and trained by the Fangyuan Group and sent to the three major political parties in Brazil.

This is very different from the past habit of overseas Chinese not liking to engage in politics. Although many people within the three major parties have criticized this, considering the huge influence Fangyuan Group has in Brazil and the increasing number of people in Brazil,

There are so many Chinese voters that these people can only choose to shut up.

At the same time, in the past two years, in order to expand the influence of the Chinese in the military, Fang Lang began to vigorously promote the recruitment work in Chinese-gathering areas, and used his huge influence in the Brazilian navy and air force to accept a large number of Chinese soldiers into the army.

Soldiers with outstanding performance were directly sent to the Brazilian Military Academy and the Brazilian Aviation School for further training.

In just two years, the number of Chinese soldiers in the Brazilian Defense Force has rapidly expanded from more than 100 at the beginning to more than 10,000. Most of these soldiers are distributed in the navy and air force, making Chinese soldiers account for a large proportion of these two arms.

ratio increased rapidly.

In addition, Fang Lang also used his influence in the police community to recruit a large number of Chinese into the Brazilian police. Many Chinese who had police experience in their hometown were directly inserted into the Brazilian police system. More outstanding Chinese young people were recruited into the Brazilian police system.

Sent to study at the Brazilian Police University.

After these Chinese young people graduate, they will be assigned to Brazilian police stations across the country, starting as grassroots sergeants in the Brazilian police system. With the presence of police officers who are also Chinese, the living environment of the local Chinese will naturally be further protected.

In order to ensure that there are as few banana people as possible among such a huge Chinese population, Fang Lang pays close attention to the propaganda work of Chinese ideological trends. He not only established several specialized Chinese-language newspapers in Brazil, but also secretly organized a number of Chinese

Organize gatherings and always pay attention to the ideological trends among the Chinese people.

It also regularly organizes Chinese gatherings to convey Chinese traditional culture to the public. It also holds national martial arts competitions, lion dance competitions, poetry and song competitions, calligraphy and painting competitions, and dragon boat racing competitions, as well as activities held on each traditional Chinese holiday.

The scale even far exceeds the grandeur of the Chinese in their hometown.

At the same time, in areas across the country where the Chinese population exceeds 10,000, specialized Chinese schools have been opened to teach traditional Chinese civilization.

This series of actions not only made the Chinese people more deeply identify with Chinese culture and generated a strong sense of national identity and pride, but also aroused strong interest in many Brazilians. Every time the Chinese organized activities, there were a large number of

of non-Chinese Brazilians participated in it and were deeply fascinated by it.

Time passed quietly like this little by little. In the past two years, Fang Lang had kept a very low profile, organizing basic training for the fleet at the Natal Naval Base every day.

Except for participating in some meetings organized by the National Defense Forces when necessary, he rarely leaves Natal. There are many things that he no longer shows up in person but directs remotely through the phone.

The reason why Fang Lang is like this is because the development in the past few years has been too rapid, and the foundation in many places is not solid enough. He needs to calm down and practice his internal skills diligently to lay a solid foundation.

At the same time, he also tried his best to slowly fade out of President Dutra's sight to prevent the US-loving president from forcing him into his camp and allowing himself to support his president's re-election.

Of course, these are all Fang Lang's own deliberate actions, and outsiders don't know this. In the eyes of outsiders, Fang Lang is a heroic man who fell into a gentle country, and his fighting spirit was sapped by the beauty.

Recently, with the graduation of Lilith and Vivian, they returned to Natal, Brazil from the United States and France respectively, to accompany Fang Lang, plus Audrey Hepburn, who used to be by Fang Lang's side.

, everyone knows that their fleet commander is accompanied by three beauties who are as beautiful as flowers and jade, and he has a sense of déjà vu.

Fortunately, the current awareness of women's rights in Brazil is not strong. In addition, many Chinese who fled the war and immigrated to Brazil brought several concubines with them, which made many Brazilians aware of the Chinese custom of marrying wives and keeping concubines.

In addition, Brazil's neighboring country Paraguay is a polygamous country, so the current Brazilian people's tolerance for polygamy is actually very high.

No one came out to criticize Fang Lang's behavior. Of course, it may be that Fang Lang's status prevented everyone from expressing any bad opinions about it.

October in Natal, Brazil is sunny and the temperature is comfortable.

The three Lilith girls, who are located in the fleet commander's villa at the naval base, feel that Fang Lang is a little strange today. Because today is Saturday, the three girls don't have to go to work. They originally planned to have a good sleep at home, but they found that their man had gone to work early.

Then he got up.

Sensing the movement of Fang Lang getting up, the eldest sister Lilith opened her sleepy eyes first and whispered with some confusion:

"Why are you getting up so early this weekend?"

Fang Lang looked back at the other person with rosy cheeks and dazed eyes. He looked like a begonia waking up from a spring sleep. He couldn't help but lean over and kiss the other person's beautiful red lips before lowering his voice and saying:

"I have something to do. You guys go back to sleep and don't worry about me."

After hearing the voices of the two people, Audrey Hepburn on the other side slowly opened her eyes, saw the two people kissing, and said vaguely:

"Sister, I was exhausted last night. Don't take me with you now. I want to have a good rest."

Lilith, who was feeling the gentle good morning kiss from her man, heard this, perhaps remembering the madness last night, and spat at Audrey Hepburn angrily. She wanted to explain to the other party, but saw that the other party had already directly

He turned over with his back to himself and continued to sleep, leaving himself with a smooth back.

He wanted to get up and take care of his man, but he found that his sister Vivian was sleeping soundly with one arm and one leg on top of her, and she was squeaking unconsciously.

Seeing this situation, she could only helplessly look at Fang Lang who had already stood up.

Fang Lang naturally saw all this and stroked Lilith's beautiful face with a smile on his face and said in a gentle tone:

"You were exhausted last night, so just go to sleep! I'm at home, don't worry."

Hearing that Fang Lang didn't want to go out, Lilith didn't press any further and naturally leaned her face against Fang Lang's warm hands, then nodded obediently and said:

"Well! If you need anything, come up and call us."

Fang Lang nodded with a smile, climbed up from the custom-made luxurious bed that was nearly four meters wide, and gently covered the three women with a thin silk quilt.

, and immediately collected all the spring scenery in the room.

To be honest, it takes a lot of perseverance to get up from such a gentle place every day.

This is because Fang Lang has a strong body and exercises unremittingly every day, so that he can defeat these three female fairies, come and go freely in this bone-breaking and marrow-sucking Pansi Cave, and let the three women coexist peacefully and obediently.

She gently waved her hand to Lilith, who was still looking at her affectionately, signaling her to close her eyes and sleep, and then gently closed the door.

After Fang Lang walked out of the room, he ran along the coast for some exercise as usual, and then practiced in the courtyard downstairs for a while before going home to take care of himself.

What was different from usual was that today Fang Lang did not wear the military uniforms and suits he usually wore. Instead, he very solemnly took out a neatly ironed Chinese tunic suit from the closet.

This gray tunic suit was made of exquisite materials and well-made. Although it seemed a bit rustic in Fang Lang's eyes, he still patted the non-existent dust on the clothes with his hands very lovingly.

Then he put the clothes on himself with a solemn expression, stood in front of the dressing mirror and looked at his whole body carefully to make sure there were no flaws.

Then he walked into his study unhurriedly.

Today is a special day for my hometown. From this day on, the people in my hometown have completely stood up. He, who is far away in Brazil, has no way to go back and witness this great moment, which is a huge regret for a time traveler.

But this did not prevent him from using his actions to express his respect for this moment. Although he could not remember the specific time of the ceremony, the specific date had already been engraved in his genes.

Fang Lang stood silently in his study, facing the direction of his hometown, and softly hummed the song that had also been engraved in his bones.

Although Fang Lang was the only one in the study at this moment, and only he could hear his singing clearly, there was an indescribable solemn atmosphere slowly spreading in the study.

At the end of the song, Fang Lang's eyes were slightly red, as if there was water mist brewing in them. After standing blankly for a long time, Fang Lang finally regained his composure.

He rubbed his face hard with both hands to bring his thoughts back.

Fang Lang took off his Chinese tunic suit, held it in his hand and stroked it gently. He specially provided his body size and asked a master in Shanghai to customize this tunic suit, and he was only going to wear it this time.

Then it should be well preserved as a souvenir.

Just when Fang Lang was looking at the Chinese tunic suit in his hand, a red phone on the desk in the study room rang suddenly.

Looking up, Fang Lang frowned slightly. Logically speaking, today was a day off and no one would call him at this time. The phone ringing at this time obviously meant something important, so Fang Lang had to answer it.

In fact, this red phone was not a dedicated military line, but a confidential line that he used to remotely command the Investigation Department of Fangyuan Group and Xin Shiliang.

"Hey! I'm Fang Lang!"

Without any time to think about it, Fang Lang stepped forward, grabbed the phone and put it to his ear. The words that came from the phone made Fang Lang frown.

“Master, a friend of mine in the Office of the Presidential Palace just told me that according to the latest public opinion polls, less than 30% of the people support President Dutra’s re-election.

Now the people in Mr. President’s campaign team are trying to get more support, and this friend reminded me that someone might suggest that Mr. President talk to you.”

This meaning is very obvious. Anyone who is not a fool knows that Fangyuan Group now has huge political influence, but Mr. Fang Xinshan, the nominal chairman of Fangyuan Group, rarely cares about politics.

Needless to say, everyone can guess whose orders Xin Shiliang, who is responsible for integrating political resources for Fangyuan Group, obeys.

However, because of Fang Lang's military status and the fact that no one could provide clear evidence, everyone pretended to be deaf and mute. But now it is clear that President Dutra's situation is not optimistic, and someone in the campaign team is ready to burst this window.

Fang Lang never thought that this secret could be kept forever, as long as everyone kept it tacit.

If someone else wanted to talk to Fang Lang, Fang Lang might not mind.

But President Dutra, who had been given up by Fang Lang long ago, really has no interest in continuing to treat him like a snake.
