Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat Chapter 594

  Chapter 594 Japanese Economic Advisor

   "Mr. Fang, I am the economic advisor sent by the United States to Japan. My name is Alexander Dodge. Nice to meet you!"

While watching Joseph Clark with John from the sidelines circling among a group of American generals and Japanese politicians, a tall man with brown hair and blue eyes, wearing a decent high-end custom-made suit, took the initiative to walk up to Fang Lang and say hello .

   Fang Lang was taken aback when he heard the other party's self-introduction. Although he was very puzzled, he got up politely and held the other party's extended right hand.

   "Hi Mr. Dodge! Nice to meet you!"

  Alexander Dodge obviously noticed Fang Lang's puzzled expression, and took the initiative to explain:

   "Don't be surprised, Mr. Fang. Although I am an economic adviser to Japan, I am also an American businessman. My main job in Japan is to promote the market-oriented reform of the Japanese economy."

  Hearing this, Fang Lang's eyes lit up. This guy's position is very important! If my layout in Japan can get the help of this guy in front of me, it can definitely be regarded as even more powerful!

  But it still made him feel a little strange that the other party came to him suddenly, so he could only stabilize his mind first, and said politely:

   "I see. I didn't expect to see Mr. Dodge here. It's really a great honor for me. It's a great honor to meet you!"

   After speaking, he let go of his hand very naturally, waiting for the other party's next move.

  Alexander Dodge was not surprised to see Fang Lang's performance, but instead smiled slightly flatteringly and said:

   "Mr. Fang, don't be surprised! After all, we are still our own people. I cooperate closely with the Morgan family in business, and I am also a very good friend with Mr. Harken Morgan.

  The reason why I know your existence is also thanks to the introduction of Mr. Harken Morgan. "

  The other party's self-introduction can be regarded as dispelling some of Fang Lang's doubts, and the vigilance on his face also relaxed a little.

   "Haha...it turns out to be Mr. Harken Morgan's friend, so of course he is my friend, come, come, let's sit down and talk!"

   Fang Lang laughed to hide his doubts, and pointed to an empty chair beside him.

  Alexander Dodge was not polite either, he just smiled and nodded to express some politeness, and then sat on it.

   "Mr. Fang, I hope you don't mind interrupting me this time. The main reason is that I have a question that I want to get your answer."

   Seeing the other party straight to the point, Fang Lang had some guesses in his heart, and smiled at the other party with a look of listening respectfully:

   "Oh! I don't know if Mr. Dodge has any questions, so feel free to ask them directly, and I'll definitely know everything."

   Fang Lang's very talkative appearance made the other party hesitate, but after he pondered for a while, he still bit the bullet and said:

   "It's a bit embarrassing to say, this may involve your company's business secrets, but this question has been held in my heart for a long time, and I have been a little bit uncomfortable. If Mr. Fang finds it inconvenient to answer, he can refuse to answer."

   Hearing that it was a commercial secret, Fang Lang was even more convinced of his guess. He didn't continue to say anything, but just smiled and signaled the other party to ask questions.

  Alexander Dodge no longer hesitated when he saw this, and said directly:

   "Mr. Fang, when I opened a branch in Japan from Global Morgan Bank, I noticed your group's actions. Not long after, Global Group and Brazil's Fangyuan Group also began to deploy in Japan, acquiring shares in many Japanese companies.

  There are indications that your company seems to be very confident in Japan's economic recovery. Although I am also optimistic about the future of the Japanese economy, in my opinion this process may be a bit long.

   But judging from the layout of your company, it seems that your company has a different view from mine. I don't know if Mr. Fang can explain it to me. "

   As expected by Fang Lang, the other party came for the deployment of his group in Japan, and the other party did not have any idea of ​​hiding his purpose. He fully explained the reasons for noticing himself to express his sincerity.

   Hearing the words, Fang Lang could only smile and look up at the surroundings, confirming that no one else was eavesdropping around him and others, then nodded to Alexander Dodge and said:

"Indeed, as Mr. Dodge said, I am very optimistic about the future of the Japanese economy. After all, this is a populous country with a population of 80 million. With such a huge market, if there is no military pressure to develop the economy with all its strength, The development potential will be unprecedentedly huge.

  As a former Asian power, Japan's industrial base and high-quality worker base will inevitably lead to rapid economic recovery. Japan's development potential can be seen from the four years after Japan's defeat.

   You must know that I was once stationed in Japan as a Brazilian occupation force. I knew the situation in Japan at that time, and looking at Japan now, it is already very telling.

  More importantly, Japan can serve as a bridgehead for our group to radiate to Asia, allowing us to extend our business and economic tentacles to other populous countries in Asia. "

   Of course, it is impossible for Fang Lang to tell the truth to the guy in front of him who met for the first time. Who knows what the other party's position is, and he might turn around and tell the Japanese about his actions.

  However, judging from the fact that he has not attracted the attention of the Japanese, the other party should not have told the Japanese about his discovery, which made Fang Lang feel more fond of this guy.

  So, he picked up some good-sounding and reasonable-sounding words to tell the other party. As for whether the other party will really believe it, he cannot guarantee it.

Listening to Fang Lang's words, Alexander Dodge nodded while listening. It seemed that Fang Lang's words were very reasonable, but the person who could be sent to Japan by the United States as an economic adviser to guide Japan's market-oriented reforms was obviously not What a fool, he will naturally have his own ideas.

  So, how much he believes in Fang Lang's words depends on himself.

   "Mr. Fang is really far-sighted. As you said, a huge population means a huge market, and Japan, which is waiting to be rebuilt, does have the strength and inherent advantages to become the bridgehead of the Asian economy.

  It seems that my views on the Japanese economy are still too conservative. After I go back, I need to combine Mr. Fang's views and carry out some re-planning. "

   Seeing the other party's appearance of agreeing with what he said, Fang Lang couldn't help scratching his head. This guy in front of him is obviously not easy to deal with!

"Haha...Mr. Dodge was joking. The reason why I am so optimistic about the future of the Japanese economy is also inseparable from your efforts. I would not invest in Japan before the war, but now the Japanese market has been fully marketized under your guidance. , is our paradise.

  Here, let us raise our glasses together, and thank Mr. Dodge for his great help to us. "

  Fang Lang's flattery is based on evidence. After all, his company's future development in Japan really needs the help of the economic consultant in front of him.

When Alexander Dodge heard this, he naturally raised his wine glass with a smile on his face and clinked it with Fang Lang lightly. John Clark on the side also raised his wine glass and clinked it very interestingly, then quietly stepped back and looked at the two people in front of him quietly. guy show.

   After taking a shallow sip of the light golden champagne that was slowly bubbling, Alexander Dodge smiled again and asked:

"As far as I know, the various consortia in the United States are now focusing their attention on Europe. In my opinion, the European market with the support of the European aid plan is obviously more attractive than Japan. Why does Mr. Fang want to share at this time?" How about pouring part of its strength into the Japanese market?

   This doesn't seem to be in line with capitalists' habit of pursuing profit maximization? "

  The other party is still testing Fang Lang's purpose of investing in Japan inside and outside the words. Obviously, he doesn't believe that Fang Lang is just simply optimistic about Japan's potential.

  Fang Lang smiled, and followed the other party's words:

   "Mr. Dodge has said that Europe is dominated by consortiums. For a small company like ours, it is not bad to follow behind the consortium and drink some soup. It is better not to rush to the front and grab food from them."

Alexander Dodge obviously doesn't believe this. If it is an ordinary person, he may really believe it, but he has a deep relationship with the Morgan family. He is very suspicious of Fang Lang's role in the implementation of the European aid plan. clearly.

Fang Lang said that he didn't compete with the consortia in Europe. In fact, the Universal Group has already become one of the most active consortia in the European market. After all, they were the first to receive the news and the most prepared consortium One, and more importantly, they have military support in Europe.

  And their purpose is clear, the division of labor is clear, and their actions are more than smooth. They are obviously prepared for the situation in Europe, and it is not as simple as drinking soup as Fang Lang said.

  So, Alexander Dodge didn't believe Fang Lang's words at all, but at the same time, he seemed to have caught a clue.

  Can't help but try again:

   "Mr. Fang was joking. Your company is not a small company. With the scale and strength of the Global Group, it is a well-established American consortium. If you want to eat a big cake in Europe, no one dares to object.

Therefore, I guess Mr. Fang is preparing to deploy in Japan in advance when other major financial groups are focusing their attention on Europe. After the European market matures, they will stimulate the development of the Japanese economy and eat the biggest piece of cake in the Japanese market. ,Is it right? "

   While Alexander Dodge said this, he became more convinced of his guess in his heart. Even, thinking more in his heart, Fang Lang may know that it is impossible for him to blatantly control the economy of certain countries in Europe.

  But in Japan, which is located in Asia, Fang Lang is more likely to succeed without competitors. This is the essence of a capitalist!

  Alexander Dodge, who felt that he had thought of Fang Lang's real purpose, showed a gleam of joy on his face. The other party wanted to profit from Japan's market economy, which did not conflict with his current main work, and could even be said to complement each other.

  As long as I can get the support of the other party, I can promote the rapid recovery of the Japanese economy. This is a rare opportunity for me.

After Fang Lang heard Alexander Dodge's words, he understood that the other party had misunderstood something, but for him, this was also a beautiful misunderstanding. It was better than telling the other party that he knew the future history, and Japan was about to do so because of the peninsula. The war ushered in a wave of unprecedented prosperity, okay!

  And the other party's current work in Japan does not conflict with my layout in Japan. It can even be said that we are natural allies, and I can use the other party to accomplish many things that are not suitable for me.

   Given his relationship with the Morgan family, he wasn't worried at all that this guy would dare to wear shoes for him.

  So, Fang Lang didn't directly answer the other party's question, but showed a meaningful smile, and the expression on his face that he saw through and didn't say anything, almost directly admitted the other party's guess.

   Regarding Fang Lang's performance, Alexander Dodge, who thought he had guessed Fang Lang's purpose, was naturally overjoyed.

   Hastily showed a kind smile to Fang Lang and said:

   "If that's the case, I think we should be good friends."

  Alexander Dodge's words are almost equivalent to expressing his attitude. Of course, Fang Lang will not be polite at this time, so he laughed without hesitation:

   "Since Mr. Dodge is Harken Morgan's friend, he is naturally my friend. Today, we can meet in Japan thousands of miles away. According to our old Chinese saying, all this is fate.

  I think we will become inseparable and dear relatives and friends. "

  Fang Lang's statement made Alexander Dodge laugh even more. The two directly raised the champagne in their hands in a tacit understanding, touched them lightly in mid-air, and let out a sweet "ding" groan! Then both of them drank the champagne in their glasses very simply.

  John Clark on the side understood that the two guys had reached an agreement. In the future, in the Japanese market, the two sides must be working hand in hand, or they should be close allies who support each other and make progress together.

  He knows the deeper reasons for Fang Lang's layout in Japan, and the fruit and vegetable processing company he is also planning to establish can just profit from it, so of course he will not stand up and express any different opinions.

  The occasion here is obviously not suitable for discussing further cooperation content, and Fang Lang will not come forward in person to continue to discuss the next details with the other party in depth. After all, he is now a Brazilian Rear Admiral.

  Professional matters should be left to professional people. After making an agreement with the other party to arrange for the specific person in charge to visit in person tomorrow and discuss the specific details, Fang Lang stopped discussing work matters.

  Then, the convenience stood up very politely, and said goodbye to Fang Lang and John Clark beside him. With the other party's current status, it is indeed more noticeable to communicate with a Brazilian rear admiral for too long. Especially when there are several high-level Japanese government officials here.

   After the other party left, John smiled at Fang Lang and said:

   "Brother, you can do it! Now you are a big shot no matter where you go!"

   Regarding John Clark's ridicule, Fang Lang just smiled slightly and said:

   "I'm not a big shot. Japan is Colonel Clark's territory, and Colonel Clark is the big shot here! I just don't know what Mr. Big Clark will think when he knows the status of Mr. Little Clark!"

   Fang Lang's gloating performance immediately made John irritable, and couldn't help but kick Fang Lang directly under the table, and soon the two of them started laughing and joking.

  Originally because of Alexander Dodge's active approach, the few people who were watching here slowly shifted their sights.
