Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat Chapter 129

  Chapter 129 Brazilian Development Bank

  Fang Lang looked at the eager General Dutra in front of him, and it must be a lie if he said he was not moved.

  He is very clear that General Dutra's ruling philosophy is liberal and democratic. However, nationalism accounts for a very large proportion of Brazil's domestic political forces.

   Otherwise, the policy of nationalizing all natural resources will not appear later. Mining giants like Petrobras and Vale were once state-owned enterprises in Brazil.

  Embraer, which is very famous in later generations, is also a Brazilian state-owned enterprise.

  But if he really owns a military industrial group in his hands, then his influence on the army will definitely expand further.

  Besides, as a time-traveling person, if you do everything timidly, you must act within the framework of history, so what's the point?

  With the vision of future people, can't you guide military enterprises to be at the forefront of the world?

   "Your Excellency, I will convey your opinion to my father and let them consider it seriously!"

  General Dutra is very clear that such a big matter cannot be decided in a few words, and it must go through repeated consultations. So, instead of continuing to entangle, I went back to the topic and said:

  “Now we don't have our own military enterprises, so the channels for purchasing arms are very important.

  Your arms channel must be well maintained! I'll have the head of the General Logistics Department go straight to you.

   The general logistics department will also be responsible for the cost of purchasing the aircraft yourself, so the aircraft will continue to be handed over to your First Fleet for use! "

   "Thank you General for your generosity!"

   Fang Lang was very satisfied with this dinner. After all, the general in front of him will be the President of the Federative Republic of Brazil in December.

   Obtaining his friendship will give Fang Lang a huge boost in his domestic business plans.

  In the early morning of the next day, Fang Lang led five hundred marines under his command to withdraw from Rio de Janeiro by plane and return to Natal.

  However, the identity of Fang Lang, who returned to Natal at this time, is quite different from the original one, because at this moment he is also the consul of Brazil's interim military government.

  Unlike the Air Force pilots who received him when he returned to Natal last time, this time when Fang Lang stepped off the plane, officials from the Rio Grande do Norte state government picked him up on the runway outside.

  Fang Lang is not interested in taking charge of the government affairs of this continent, because he knows that the power of government affairs will be handed over to the local elected government within two months at most.

  Fang Lang's goal is to place his own people in various positions in the state within these two months.

   So he had a meeting with all the state government officials, and after everyone got to know each other, only the chief of police remained.

  The police chief of Riogna Norte is a Portuguese-born white man with a short stature and wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses. He looks more like a teacher than a police chief.

   "Director Samir Angell, have you counted how many Japanese descendants we have in Rio Grande do Norte?"

   "Mr. Colonel, according to the data I saw yesterday, there are only about 2,000 people."

   "Then your first task is to deport all these people!"

   "Ah! Is this not so good, some of them did not participate in the riots."

   Hearing Director Angel's answer, Fang Lang was very dissatisfied. The first order I took as a new official, you just bargained. This is disrespectful to Lao Tzu!

   His eyes turned cold, he stared fiercely at Director Angel and said:

   "Mr. Director, I hope you understand that I am not discussing with you. If you can't do it, then I will arrange for someone who can!"

   After speaking, without waiting for the police chief to respond, he said directly:

   "Qi Qingshan, come in!"

  The adjutant Qi Qingshan outside the door directly pushed the door and walked in. He stood in front of Fang Lang and saluted:

   "Sir, Qi Qingshan is reporting to you!"

   "Now I appoint you as the chief of the Rio Grande Norte State Police. Lead the guard platoon to take over the police headquarters. The first task is to deport all Japanese in Rio Grande Norte. Understand?"

"Yes, sir!"

   "Take this former Mr. Director out casually."

  Soldiers do things in such a straightforward way, there is no room for negotiation after an order.

   Director Angor obviously hasn't changed from his original work style, so it's just right to let Fang Lang replace him with his own.

  In the following time, Fang Lang began to learn about this Rio Grande do Norte from the information obtained by government officials, and what is suitable for him to attack.

  After careful research, Fang Lang discovered that this state, which is located in the northeast corner of Brazil and inserted into the Atlantic Ocean, is the state closest to Africa and Europe. The transportation location is very superior. No wonder the Americans want to set up the naval base here.

   Unfortunately, natural resources are not particularly rich. The main economy here still comes from agriculture, and long-staple cotton is the largest agricultural product in this state.

  Other agricultural products include sugar cane, corn, rice, etc. However, because it is close to the equator, the light here is very sufficient, and there are many salt fields along the coast, but unfortunately the scale is not particularly large.

  After studying for a whole day, Fang Lang directly contacted his father, Fang Xinshan, and confirmed that the location of the fleet had just arrived in the waters of French Guiana, which was only one day's voyage from Fang Lang Natal.

  Fang Lang directly asked the fleet to dock in Natal. Since this is his military base, he must put some of his industries here.

  Because this is his own territory and convenient for his own protection, no matter how the political situation changes, I believe no one will dare to come to his base camp to find work.

  At the same time, they also contacted Wan Chongxin in the United States to recruit some bank practitioners and purchase textile and mechanized salt-making equipment.

   Finally finished the work at hand, ready to go back to rest.

  Qi Qingshan came back head-on in a busy manner, and when he saw Fang Lang, he stood at attention and saluted.

   "Boss, when we carried out the task of deporting Japanese descendants, we found more than 800 laborers who were captured by the Japanese from their hometown in the Northeast in a Japanese-funded salt field far away from the urban area."

   "What the hell? Chinese laborers? In Natal?"

"Yes, boss! Among them are more than 500 men and more than 300 women. According to the workers, they have been here for almost six years, and there is another group of people who came with them on the same boat, but they were killed by the Japanese. Brought inland."

   "Little Japan, why did it cost so much to transport laborers here? Are you sure it's just a salt field?"

   "Yes, boss, it is indeed a salt farm, and the scale is very large."

   This situation is really beyond Fang Lang's expectation, it doesn't make sense!

  Why does Little Japan have to transport labor from such a long distance? Not to find locals, it must be for the sake of secrecy, but what is there in Brazil that is worthy of such secrecy?

  Could it be that the government officials in North Rio Grande are all blind, it's impossible!

  It seems that the water here is very deep!

   "Does the local police know about this?"

   "I feel like I should know."

"There is a problem here. You can interrogate these Japanese people overnight to see if you can figure out where the other group of people the laborers said went. After you figure out the situation, bring a company to dig it out for me. Think again. I report."

   "Yes, boss."

  After Qi Qingshan left, Fang Lang couldn't help but fell into deep thought. He wasn't thinking about what the Japanese were doing. Now that he was in power, no matter what the Japanese were doing, they would stop.

  The key is whether the Rio Grande do Norte government knows about this matter, and if it knows, is it simply collecting money to do things, or is there other circumstances.

   It seems that it is very dangerous for me to know nothing about the government situation! It would be embarrassing to count the money for others after being sold.

  Thinking of this, he directly picked up the office phone.

   "Duarte, do we Marines have Rio Grande do Norte?"

   "Oh! How many?"

   "Five? You bring them to my office now."

   Soon Fang Lang's office door was knocked, and Duarte came in with five soldiers.

   "Boss, here we come!"

   Fang Lang glanced at the five soldiers standing in a standard military posture in front of him.

   "Are you all from Rio Grande do Norte?"

"Yes, sir."

   "I've given you a task. I will give you a holiday tonight. You will wear plain clothes and go to downtown Natal to help me investigate a few things."

   "Please command, sir!"

   Then Fang Lang explained to several people.

  The reason why the locals of Rio Grande do Norte were asked to investigate was to prevent the attention of local officials.

  In fact, the object of investigation is also very simple. No matter which country it is, the powerful department is the military police constitution.

  As long as these powerful departments are controlled, other people will not be able to make waves.

  The next day, Fang Xinshan, who sailed across the sea from Japan, finally entered the port of Natal.

   Except for the artillery production line being transported back to Sao Paulo, all the goods on the ship were unloaded into the warehouse in the naval base.

   "Father, I may need to work harder on you recently to find a suitable place to build our own bank in Natal City."

   "Is it here? This is a remote place, how to set up banking business here?"

   “The reason for opening the head office here is that the gold shipped back from Japan this time needs to be stored here.

  The bank will be under my protection at all times, and there is no need to worry that someone will dare to take his idea.

   As for business, we can build branches in Rio, Sao Paulo, and Alegre at the same time! "

   "Okay! Who do you want to hand over the bank to?"

   "I want you to take charge yourself, I don't know if you want to."

   "I'm a farmer, I can't do this, no, no."

  “I have already had people recruit professional banking talents from the United States. If you don't understand, it's okay to learn from them.

  We will not participate too much in the business of this bank in the early stage. I mainly want him to be responsible for the capital flow within our group.

  The payment of employees' wages and the payment of allowances for soldiers in our army. In the later stage, it may be necessary to carry out some small loan business to support Chinese entrepreneurs.

  I have already thought of the name, and it is called the Brazilian Development Bank. "
