Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat Chapter 284

  Chapter 284 Mr. Mayor's Ambition

  Mayor Ewald Dursley didn't understand Fang Lang's thoughts very much, so he took the initiative to ask:

   "General Fang, why are you willing to let your company pay an extra fee to help workers pay for medical insurance?

   Shouldn't these be purchased by the workers themselves? "

  Fang Lang's original idea was actually to add some patients to the hospital, but after learning that most people did not have the opportunity to enjoy medical services, he was very surprised, so he also hoped that he could do something for everyone.

   It is impossible to immigrate all the Chinese, and end up in a more miserable situation than in their hometown, because they have no way to enjoy medical services!

  So, the first way he thought of was to buy medical insurance.

  But he didn't know whether Brazil's medical insurance had such a product, so he could only ask Chen Hongqing for his opinion first.

  In fact, what Fang Lang didn't know was that Brazil, a later generation, proposed the idea of ​​free medical care for all in 1964, and included free medical care for all in the constitution in 1988.

  Although the policy is a good policy, the government that can implement the policy is not a reliable government. Corruption and embezzlement of funds have led to outdated medical facilities in Brazil and a lack of doctors.

  Although the poor can enjoy free medical care, many patients cannot enjoy timely treatment services at all because of the shortage of public hospitals and insufficient equipment, shortage of beds, and overcrowded hospitals.

  When the new crown broke out in later generations, Brazil directly chose to lie flat, and the number of infections among Brazilians could not be accurately counted.

  Ordinary people cannot receive effective treatment after being infected with the new crown, and the medical system has almost collapsed.

  After people could not get effective treatment from public hospitals, they turned to private hospitals at their own expense, which further promoted the vigorous development of private hospitals.

  Most wealthy people in Brazil enjoy more intimate medical services in private hospitals through the private medical insurance services they purchase.

  Hearing Mayor Ewald Dursley's question, of course Fang Lang couldn't answer directly to add patients to the hospital.

  So, without hesitation, he said:

   “Everyone in Brazil has the right to health care, doesn't they?”

  Mr. Mayor, as a politician, was greatly shocked after hearing Fang Lang's words, and said with blessings to his soul:

   "Fang, you are so right, every Brazilian citizen should have the right to enjoy medical services.

  How do you think I will use this slogan as my next campaign slogan? "

  Fang Lang looked at Mr. Mayor Ewald Dursley dumbfounded. He didn't expect this guy to turn his mind so fast. No wonder he was elected mayor of Natal twice in a row.

   But this idea is not harmful to Fang Lang. After all, he already owns a pharmaceutical factory, and his girlfriend is a medical student. He plans to set up a private hospital for him.

   If Mr. Mayor can really promote the government to provide more people with medical insurance, Fang Lang certainly won't mind.

   "Mr. Mayor, are you serious?

   But I think this slogan should not be used in the election of the mayor of Natal, but should be used directly in the presidential election.

  What, is Mr. Ewald Dursley interested in running for President of Brazil? "

   In fact, this is a joke by Fang Lang. After all, he remembers very clearly that Brazil's next president is Vargas.

  But after hearing Fang Lang's words, Ewald Dursley began to shine his eyes, looked at Fang Lang without blinking and said:

   "Fang, you are right, this topic is not suitable for the mayoral election.

  Will you help me run for the president of Brazil? "

   As a member of the Social Democratic Party, Ewald Dursley is very aware of Fang Lang's influence on the Social Democratic Party, although this influence has not yet reached its maximum level.

  But as time goes by, the size and status of the Nice company grows, and Fang Lang's influence on the Social Democratic Party will also become greater and greater.

   Otherwise, why did President Dutra ask Fang Lang, the Rear Admiral, to meet in private to seek support?

  Fang Lang didn't expect a joke to make Ewald Dursley take it seriously.

  However, it is indeed a very challenging thing to support a person of his own to become the President of Brazil, Fang Lang.

   Seriously looking at Ewald Dursley in front of him, he began to think about the real feasibility of this matter.

  The more Fang Lang thinks about it, the more interesting he finds it. What could be more challenging than becoming a master behind the scenes and controlling the political direction of a country!

  But I am a Chinese. The proportion of Chinese population in Brazil is too low, and there are many things that cannot be done too much.

  If it is too radical, it may affect the living environment of the entire Chinese community in Brazil.

   Treating this matter as a long-term goal is a very good choice!

   "Are you sure about yourself?"

   After all, not everyone can be the president, nor can he be successful just by relying on Ewald Dursley's own wishful thinking, with just a single mouth, he must have political achievements that he can show.

  Ewald Dursley was also blessed after hearing Fang Lang's words, and the thoughts that popped up in his mind were not carefully thought out.

   Asked by Fang Lang, he couldn't help but start thinking seriously.

  If you want to be elected president, of course you must have your own governing program and achievements.

   But these Ewald Dursleys obviously don't have them. You can't just run for the election if you want all Brazilians to enjoy medical services!

   How to enjoy medical services?

   How many capitalists, like Fang Lang, will agree to spend an extra amount of funds from their factory to buy medical insurance for the workers?

  If I really use this method to give a campaign speech, it is estimated that all capitalists will vote against me.

   Without the support of capitalists, it is almost impossible to be elected president.

  Of course, if he is really very talkative, it is not impossible to fool the whole of Brazil. But I obviously don't have such a lip service.

  So, I can only shake my head dejectedly.

  Chen Hongqing, who was sitting on the side listening to the exchange between the two, was in a cold sweat at the moment.

  It is related to the presidential candidate of a country, is it a topic that I, a worker, can listen to?

  After all, in the hometown of this era, not everyone can discuss the head of state. The idea of ​​official standard for thousands of years made Chen Hongqing naturally bow down to officials.

  But now I hear my boss and the mayor of Natal discussing in front of me whether I want to be the president of Brazil.

   Isn't this similar to plotting rebellion?

   Will not be silenced!

  Fang Lang didn't pay attention to Chen Hongqing's reaction either. Seeing Ewald Dursley shaking his head, he smiled and said:

   "Mr. Ewald Dursley is not without a chance, think about what the original Natal was like.

  What is Natal like now?

  Two days ago, Mr. President, in front of me, praised your achievements in Natal.

   If you can revive Natal, you might have a chance to compete! "

  Ewald Dursley heard Fang Lang's words, his eyelids twitched, and after swallowing hard, he said:

   "Yes, I am implementing according to your plan!"

   Hearing this, Fang Lang was very happy, Ewald Dursley is a real person!

  I gave this credit to myself in front of the president last time, and I still haven't taken this credit for myself.

  Fang Lang is more at ease supporting such a person.

   But being so honest seems to have the qualities that a qualified politician should possess!

  Fang Lang patted Ewald Dursley's arm and said:

   "I'm in the military and have no interest in that position nor in the credit.

   So, that's your credit and planning see? "

  Actually, what Fang Lang said was not really to support Ewald Dursley to run for president, but to hope that he would pay more attention to his plan for Natal and implement it seriously.

   Let Fangyuan Group get enough return on its investment in Natal, truly build Natal into a developed coastal city, and have a good environment after walking out of the naval base.

  If Ewald Dursley goes to run for the election, facing Vargas, the former president who has great reputation in Brazil, and even the current president supported by Americans loses, Fang Lang doesn't think he has a chance of winning.

   More importantly, the Labor Party founded by Vargas has developed very rapidly in recent years.

  Although Fang Lang's Fangyuan Group established its own trade union in time, which reduced the penetration of labor party organizations within the Fangyuan Group, other companies still established trade unions.

  This organization has collected a lot of grassroots votes for the Labor Party, unless the Social Democratic Party and the National League also learn from the Labor Party and win over workers and peasants at the bottom.

   But this is obviously contrary to the basic principles of these two parties.

   No wonder the Brazilian government was taken over by the military in 1964 and all political parties were banned.

  But after the military was decentralized in 1985, the Labor Party was re-established immediately and occupied the vast majority of seats, while the Social Democratic Party and the National League slowly disappeared.

  In Fang Lang's eyes, the Labor Party is not his enemy. On the contrary, the Labor Party is the target of his active infiltration, which is also the purpose of his establishment of his own company's trade union.

  One day when a suitable candidate appears, Fang Lang can let him bring the trade union organization of the Fangyuan Group to join the Labor Party, and take the opportunity to gain the Labor Party's right to speak.

  The time is not ripe now, because the current Labor Party is Vargas' Labor Party, which is not a democratic organization.

  After joining, he must obey Vargas' command, and Fang Lang does not object to Vargas' rule, because he is a pragmatist, and he will support as long as it is beneficial to him.

  Including his original intention of establishing the Labor Party, he took a fancy to the votes in the hands of the majority of workers. His Labor Party should actually be called the Industrial Party. Unlike the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, it is a bourgeois party through and through.

   It was just to win votes and learn some practices of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, such as the establishment of a large number of state-owned enterprises and the establishment of trade unions.

  It's a pity that this situation breeds more corruption, which is why he was forced to commit suicide soon after he came to power again.

   But he is also a mature leader with many years of dictatorial experience, and he will not follow the advice of others in many things.

  If Fang Lang joins his camp, he may lose his autonomy and become his vassal, which Fang Lang cannot accept.

   Ewald Dursley obviously didn't understand Fang Lang's thoughts, and thought that Fang Lang really wanted to support him in the presidential election, and said with a trembling voice:

   "Do I really have a chance?"

  Fang Lang smiled and said:

  “Everyone has the opportunity to run for president, the important thing is whether they will act.

  If you really want to run for president, the first thing to do is to change the status quo in Natal and let everyone see your ability to govern.

   Then, it's up to you to convince the people in your party to back your candidacy.

   I can only offer some ballot help, you know what I mean? "

   Such a big matter is of course not something that Fang Lang can decide now. Ewald Dursley also knows this very well in his heart. Brazil is not someone's Brazil, and it is not because of someone's support that he will definitely become president.
