Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat Chapter 559

  Chapter 559 Money opens the way

   Sirio Leitch's statement made Blackwell feel a lot more comfortable. If he and Fang Lang were friends, the two knew each other earlier than Sirio Leitch.

   This time Fang Lang made a special trip to Rio de Janeiro to help the other party pave the way. He still felt a little uncomfortable. He hadn't made any progress yet. A little second lieutenant whom he had recommended to Fang Lang was now about to catch up with him.

  However, Fang Lang also provided guidance for his future direction. He could see Fang Lang's selfishness for this suggestion, but he had to say that what the other party said was not wrong, and it was indeed more beneficial to him.

   Not because he can get the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Intelligence Bureau, but because he can serve as the chief officer of a unit, which will be of great help to his future career.

  So, he is willing to accept Fang Lang's suggestion, and now he hears that Sirio Leitch persuaded him to obey the arrangement. Although he didn't say whose arrangement he obeyed, this attitude still gave him enough face.

   "Since we are obeying the commander's arrangement, then we should all listen to General Fang's instructions. After all, General Fang is our commander here."

  Blackwell smiled and turned his attention to Fang Lang. Fang Lang must have had his own ideas when he came here this time. It is the right choice to leave this issue directly to the other party.

   "My idea is to push you to the position of director first, and then let him take over your current position."

  From the very beginning, Fang Lang wanted to send Sirio Leitch to the counterintelligence department of the Intelligence Bureau, but the original chief of this position was his brother Blackwell, and it was no problem to ask the other party to help him based on his relationship with Blackwell.

But it is obviously very inappropriate to direct the other party to do things. If you want to manipulate this department, you have to replace it with your own subordinates. After all, brothers are brothers, and subordinates are subordinates. There is a clear difference between the two. of.

  The Counterintelligence Department is a department with real power in the Brazilian Intelligence Agency, far from being comparable to ordinary logistics and telecommunications departments.

  Fang Lang said that he has no idea of ​​wanting to be the king of the world. He just wants to ensure that he, his family and Chinese compatriots live in safety in Brazil. Therefore, he never thought of letting intelligence agencies go out to destroy other countries.

   As long as it can ensure that the intelligence department can firmly control the domestic situation in Brazil, otherwise Brazil will become a battlefield for the United States and the Soviet Union to compete for hegemony, and it is enough to give them enough time for peaceful development.

   What's more important is that if the anti-espionage department can be used well, it will be a sharp knife, which is far more useful than the police station. After controlling this department by yourself, you don't have to worry about many things in the country.

  Of course, Fang Lang never wanted to ignore the idea of ​​external intelligence collection. He planned to realize this information through the Fangyuan Group Investigation Department. After all, this is a commercial organization and will not be as conspicuous as the Intelligence Bureau.

Blackwell was completely relieved when he heard Fang Lang's statement that he would push him to the position of director first, and then push Sirio Leitch to his original position. It seems that the relationship between himself and Fang Lang is obviously tight Better than Sirio Reich!

   "No problem, let's do this. I'll talk to our Mr. Director first to see if I can get his recommendation."

  Fang Lang picked up the tea, took a sip, felt the aroma of the thick tea soup between his lips and teeth, and said slowly:

   "Don't directly tell the other party that you want to get his recommendation. Now that someone else is still in the position of director, you are eyeing the other party's position, which will easily arouse people's resentment.

  We should show the other party that we are willing to continue to maintain the operation of the Intelligence Bureau. At least let the other party think that you do not want to leave the Intelligence Bureau and are willing to continue to contribute to the operation of the Intelligence Bureau.

  At the same time, find a way to give the other party a ride. "

   I have to say that foreigners have more straightforward ideas, and they are actually ready to directly discuss with their immediate superiors about their thoughts on the position of the other party's butt.

   No matter who it is, they will not be happy to hear their subordinates report this problem to themselves! If it doesn't work out, he will be directly rewarded with a big fight.

   "Send the other party a ride?"

   "Didn't you say that your director wants to be transferred from the Intelligence Bureau? We can think of a way!"

   "Oh! I understand what you mean, but it doesn't matter if I'm in the General Staff!"

   I have to say that Blackwell's words also reminded Fang Lang that in addition to his own contacts in the Navy and Air Force, he now has shortcomings in the relationship between the Ministry of Defense and the Army.

   Now it seems that we still have to find a way to interact with people in these departments!

   Fortunately, this is Brazil, not a place where you can only rely on relationships to get ahead.

   "It doesn't matter whether you have a relationship, since your chief has already started walking around the General Staff, it means that he must have his own relationship inside.

  In this case, what you have to provide is not necessarily the support of your own network. "

"you mean!"

   "If you want to be promoted, it doesn't matter if you don't have contacts. As long as you have enough funds, you can definitely open up a road to the sky for your chief."

In fact, if you want to be promoted, you need connections and abilities. What is more important in Brazil is to have enough funds. Fang Lang doesn't need to say this. Blackwell knows it clearly in his heart, but this cannot be done from him After all, he didn't want money to be mixed into the relationship between himself and Fang Lang, but he couldn't afford the money himself, so he could only choose to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

  Fang Lang also knows this in his heart. After all, in the current Brazilian army, except for his own command to ensure sufficient fairness, corruption is still serious in other places. It is almost impossible to realize a dream if you want to be promoted without giving tribute to your superiors.

   "You mean we hand over the funds directly to the director and let him open this ascending channel?"

  "Of course not, we can't be taken advantage of even if we send money, don't forget, if you want to be the director of the bureau, you don't just have to be recommended by your director.

   You still need to nod and approve at a higher level. Now when your chief is moving around, this is your opportunity to open up this network.

  I will fund the promotion of both of you, you need to convince your director yourself, find a way to let him introduce his relationship to you. "

  Blackwell is not a stupid person. Fang Lang just explained a little bit, and he understood what the other party meant, and he understood Fang Lang's thoughts after a little calculation in his heart.

I have to say that Fang Lang's help to him can be regarded as sincere. He directly provided funds for him without making excessive demands, and let himself take the funds to find his superiors, so that the favor fell on his own head. Fang Lang But nothing fell into his hands, which made him blush slightly.

   After thinking for a while, he said:

   "I don't know how long my brother plans to stay in Rio de Janeiro this time?"

  Fang Lang was taken aback by Blackwell's sudden turning point, and said a little unclearly:

   "There is really no plan for this, what's wrong?"

   "If your time is convenient, I would like to bring our chief to visit you."

As soon as this remark came out, Fang Lang couldn't help being taken aback, but he quickly realized that he wanted to put this favor on his head, and at the same time, he might also be preparing to show the relationship between the two to their chief look.

   Somewhat unexpectedly, he looked Blackwell up and down, then smiled and said:

   "Haha...Of course there is no problem. I like to make friends the most. If your director is willing, I am always welcome."

  Sirio Leitch, who had been staying invisible all the time, also took a surprised look at Blackwell. At this time, he finally understood why Blackwell and Fang Lang could become friends.

  Seeing that Fang Lang readily accepted his opinion, Blackwell was also very happy. As Fang Lang, not everyone can meet when they meet each other.

   "Well, I'll go talk to our chief this afternoon, and if he accepts, I'll bring him over to visit you."

   "Haha... no problem, I will also see if I can help you find a solution through other channels."

  Fang Lang said that he would use other means to help the other party find a way, of course he didn't just talk about it casually, although he doesn't know the officials of the General Staff Department now.

But this does not prevent him from connecting with senior officials of the General Staff through other people's introductions. There is a ready-made channel in his relationship, that is, Air Force Minister General Nero Mora, who currently has A huge chain of interests.

  Although this chain of interests is a huge parasite for the entire Air Force, it is also a huge network of contacts. If I remember correctly, the current Chief of Staff of the Air Force is the man inserted by the Chief of Staff.

  With such a profit-hungry chief of staff of the Air Force, Fang Lang can know what kind of role the chief of staff is without having to associate with him. Having such a chief of staff is actually not a bad thing for Fang Lang.

  Since I have come to Rio de Janeiro this time, why not take this opportunity to open up my network in the General Staff?

  After thinking about this, Fang Lang no longer worried about the future of Blackwell and Sirio Leitch in the Intelligence Bureau.

  Everyone began to enjoy the charm of tea culture slowly in the garden full of ancient Chinese style, which can be regarded as a rare relaxation.

  After the lunch in the kitchen was ready, everyone went to the restaurant to enjoy the food under the leadership of the butler, Forbe. I don't know if the team of servants in the garden of their own was directly invited from Suzhou and Hangzhou.

  Not only did these servants speak in Wu Nong's soft language, but even the food tasted in Huaiyang cuisine. When the exquisite dishes were served on the Eight Immortals table, Blackwell and Sirio Leitch were amazed.

   After all, this is the boss's first time eating at home, and the chef in the kitchen tried his best to prepare the most representative Huaiyang cuisine for Fang Lang and others without wasting any money.

  Crab powder lion head, Wensi tofu, and squirrel mandarin fish were all served on the table. This delicious dish almost made Blackwell and Sirio Reich swallow their tongues.

After lunch, Blackwell left the garden in a hurry, and Fang Lang, accompanied by the housekeeper Forbe, took a good tour of his manor, because the area was too large, and the entire visit lasted until dinner time. .

I have to say that this garden is very much in line with Fang Lang's wishes. It basically restores the Suzhou garden style that Fang Lang saw in his previous life, and the materials used are even worse. Almost all the wood that can be seen is Brazilian black rosewood, the largest diameter of the wood needs to be embraced by two people.

   This is the only opportunity to use this precious wood in this period. After a few years, this wood will be listed as a protected tree species. Its status in Europe and America is the same as that of Hainan huanghuali wood in its hometown.

Even the furniture decoration in the house is mostly in Chinese style, with all kinds of exquisite antiques placed on the antique shelves. What surprised Fang Lang most was that in addition to the special treasure room in the yard, there was also a huge library. , There are many rare books of ancient books collected in the attic, many of which are orphans.

  Of course Fang Lang didn't know these people, but according to the housekeeper Fu Bo, many antique ornaments, books and furniture in this garden were collected from various places in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

  As early as the people from Fangyuan Group found him and hired him to be the steward of this garden in Brazil, he began to add objects to the garden according to the Suzhou garden in his mind. Because, but the people from Fangyuan Group's immigration company made it very clear to him that what the garden owner wanted was the original Suzhou garden style.

  Therefore, not only in terms of soft decoration, Forber tried his best to make this garden restore the style of Suzhou gardens as much as possible. Regarding the recruitment of servants in the garden, the housekeeper also personally checked and recruited the Suzhou-Hangzhou team who had the same work experience.

  Fuber didn't immediately bring everyone out to meet Fang Lang. In addition to the few servants Fang Lang met earlier, there were also professional tea masters and incense masters in the yard. These two positions are held by a pair of young and beautiful women under the age of eighteen.

  Because he didn't know Fang Lang's preferences and Fang Lang's family members, Forbe didn't immediately introduce these two slim, graceful, and elegant women to Fang Lang.

   It wasn't until he took Fang Lang to visit a special tea room that was more elegant than the previous water pavilion, that Forbe tentatively asked if he needed to arrange a special tea artist and incense teacher next time he had guests.

  To be honest, Fang Lang didn't quite understand what the incense master did at first. It wasn't until Fu Bo explained it to him in detail that he realized that the ancients burned incense and bathed, and there was a special incense master to take care of it.

  Today is the first time he has seen Chinese luxury, and it can be regarded as an eye-opener with a knife.

  But the two twins, who are exactly the same in appearance and have the graceful temperament of Jiangnan women, stood in front of him charmingly, and he was a little stunned and almost lost his composure. This is a proper challenge to his weakness! An officer like him can't stand such a test!

   I have to say that from this point of view alone, although Fu Bo is not young, he definitely understands men, so Fang Lang directly stated on the spot that he would give Fu Bo a salary increase. It also let Fu Bo understand the preferences of the new owner.

Time passed unknowingly during Fang Lang's visit to the garden. As the dinner time approached, Sirio Leitch, who was arranged by Fang Lang, came to Fang Lang who was enjoying the twin beauty massage on the recliner around.

  Looking at his own boss who was enjoying a degenerate life in the feudal era, Sirio Reich lowered his voice and said:

   "Boss, General Nero Mora has set off from the Ministry of Air Force with several guests, and is expected to arrive at the Navy Club in half an hour. Do you think we should go to the club first and wait?"

   Hearing the words, Fang Lang slowly opened his eyes, stretched long and said:

   "This Wenrou Township is really a tomb of heroes. Even a strong-willed person like me almost forgot that I still have work to do."
