Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 130 Labor

  Fang Xinshan is of course very happy that his son handed over such an important property to him, but at the same time he is a little worried that he will not do well. Forget the people around me, it seems that there is no one else to entrust, so I can only bite the bullet and accept it.

   "Okay then! I'll take care of it for you first, and if you have any questions, you can take over at any time!"

   Hearing that his father was willing to take over, Fang Lang also breathed a sigh of relief.

  Now his business is going from place to place, and it’s time to sort it out, otherwise it will be a mess, and he won’t know when it will go bankrupt.

   "Let's do this! Dad, take some time recently to sort out our industries in Brazil and integrate all industries that can be placed under the Fangyuan Group.

   Those that cannot be put in, see if they can be taken out and set up as a separate group company for management. Otherwise, the current situation is really too messy, and we will not know that branch company will be swallowed up by someone.

  I don’t have to fight everywhere now, but it’s also inconvenient to check the situation of the factory every day. Therefore, I must have my own assistant team by my side to classify and manage all my industries.

  I only need to listen to the assistant's report every day to learn about the latest situation of each company. And use the assistant to remotely command the operation direction of each branch.

   Only in this way can effective management be achieved without chaos. "

   "You should have done this a long time ago, you don't know, after you asked me to set up this Fangyuan Group, I saw that so many industries are the first and the second big.

  I also plan to have a good talk with you when you return to Sao Paulo! "

   "No way, it was really inconvenient to deal with these things a while ago, don't worry, I will handle them personally after the establishment of this assistant team."

  While Fang Lang was discussing the future plans of the family business with his father in his office, Qi Qingshan had already led a company of soldiers to a remote village far away from Natal after a morning of trekking.

  Because of Brazil's terrain, only the coastal areas have some low-altitude plains, and less than 100 kilometers inland will become high-altitude Brazilian plateaus, except of course the Amazon jungle area.

  The village where Qi Qingshan and others are now is located in a small canyon between two peaks on the Brazilian plateau.

   "Sir, the address you mentioned is here."

  A local policeman was looking at Qi Qingshan nervously at this moment. He didn't understand why the army suddenly asked him to lead the way to this small mountain village with few people.

   "Do you have police who come here often?"

  Qi Qingshan stared at the middle-aged Indian policeman, as if telling him that if you lie, you will die.

   "This place is too remote, and we will never go to this ghost place if no one reports the crime.

  In my impression, it seems that in the last seven or eight years, I have never received a report from anyone here! "

   "Are you sure, who are the people living here, do you know?"

   "We have this in our household registration information. The people living here are all local farmers. There are only 20 families in total. They mainly rely on growing corn and sugar cane as their source of income."

   "Are there any Japanese residents in this place?"

   "Japanese? I've never heard of any Japanese here!"

   "Okay, you go down!"

   Qi Qingshan looked at the quiet small village in front of him and became suspicious. If the policeman hadn't lied, why did the Japanese confess that they had transported the laborers here!

  It is hard to say that there was no report record in 1978 or 2008. After all, in some places, as long as it is not a criminal case, most of them are solved by the village itself.

   "Scouts, come and investigate for me, don't be discovered by the locals, and see what's going on in this village."

"Yes!"

   More than a dozen soldiers walked out of the queue, trotted all the way into the small woods on both sides, and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

  Qi Qingshan found a commanding height and looked in the direction of the village with a telescope.

   Not even one of the villagers working in the fields was found, which made Qi Qingshan feel very strange.

   About an hour later, the scouts finally brought back the information.

   There is no one in the village in front of it at all, and all the people are concentrated in a mine behind the village.

   It seems that they are mining, and there are armed guards with guns beside the mine.

  Qi Qingshan looked at the middle-aged policeman with a fierce look in his eyes:

   "You **** dare to lie to me. This is the peasant village of twenty households you mentioned. What kind of mine is being opened here?"

  The middle-aged Indian policeman was obviously confused at this time, and quickly waved his hands and said:

   "I have never heard of this! In my impression, this is really a small village with a few farmers!"

  Qi Qingshan opened his eyes wide and ordered:

   "Get him arrested by Lao Tzu first, and we will talk about it after we resolve the situation in the village."

  Next, Qi Qingshan and the company platoon leader and others gathered together to formulate a battle plan based on the information sent back by the scouts.

   Half an hour later, the raid on the village was launched.

  The operation went very smoothly, although the personnel guarding the mine started to resist.

  However, all the guards have already been detected clearly. Therefore, they were the first to be dealt with.

   With a burst of intense gunfire, the battle ended in less than ten minutes.

   When Qi Qingshan walked into the mine, he saw a large group squatting on the ground with his hands on his head. There were more than 2,000 people, many of whom had obvious Asian faces, and some were Indians.

  The clothes of these people are ragged and they look malnourished.

   Obviously, it was forced labor.

  In front of a row of wooden houses outside the mine, there were nearly a hundred people kneeling. Judging by their clothes and expressions, they were obviously either supervisors or mine owners.

  At this moment, they are being surrounded by soldiers with guns.

   "Who is the talker here! Come out and talk to me."

   No one responded for a long time.

  Qi Qingshan spoke again:

   "If no one comes out, kill them all."

   I don’t know if no one understands Portuguese or what, but everyone looked at Qi Qingshan nervously.

   There was no way Qi Qingshan repeated it in English, but there was still no movement.

   Qi Qingshan was so angry that he directly picked up the Thomson submachine gun in his hand, pulled the bolt, and was about to give the crowd a shot.

  A chunky man in his forties raised his hand.

   Two soldiers rushed over and dragged him out.

   Qi Qingshan hit him in the face with two gun butts without saying a word, and several front teeth fell out on the spot.

  The short and fat man was directly smashed to the ground, covered his head with both hands, and hurriedly begged for mercy in Portuguese:

   "Please stop fighting, I surrender, I surrender."

  Hearing that he could speak Portuguese, Qi Qingshan went up and kicked him in the stomach again, making him hunched up and retched, with tears streaming down his face.

   "You **** understand what I'm saying, if you don't answer, you're looking for death!"

   "Sir, have mercy! I won't dare again!"

  The man said intermittently.

   "Tell me! What kind of mine are you little Japanese mining here!"

   "Sir, we are in the tantalum mine."

   "What the hell? What is a tantalum thing."

   "How to say this! I can't explain it for a while. I can take you to see it."

   "You are the person in charge of this mine, right?"

   "Sir, yes, I also discovered this mine."

   "Then what are the other people doing here!"

   "There are engineers, mine guards, and smelting technicians."

   "Oh! Then I see!"

  Qi Qingshan turned his head and said to Yilianchang:

   "Tie up everyone here and lock them up."

   Soon the chunky Japanese brought Qi Qingshan to a large wooden warehouse.

  Two soldiers stepped forward, smashed the lock on the door with a gun butt, squeezed in, came out quickly, and nodded to Qi Qingshan.

   Taking a look inside, they were all steel-gray metal blocks.

  Just glanced at it, and Qi Qingshan lost interest.

   Directly facing the Japanese:

   "Do you have a mining permit?"

"This"

   "Is there no? Take it away!"

   When Qi Qingshan returned to the base, it was already past eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, so he didn't bother Fang Lang.

  The next morning, after work, he rang Fang Lang's office.

   "How was yesterday's harvest?"

   "Sir, after the overnight interrogation last night, I have figured it out. It was a Japanese named tantalum mine who discovered tantalum mines in a mountain village, so he notified the Japanese consulate.

  Later, the Japanese took control of the people in that village and began secretly mining and transporting them back to Japan. Unfortunately, the output was too low. In order to expand production, Japan mobilized 2,000 workers from their hometown to mine.

  Because Mizuno Shinyin’s elder brother was short of people in the saltworks here, he withdrew a group of workers from this group. It was originally planned that the mine would be further expanded, and then the manpower would be transferred there.

  After the war between Japan and the United States, the communication between Brazil and Japan was cut off, and they had no way to transport the extracted tantalum ore back to Japan, so they could only wait patiently while continuing to organize mining.

   They didn't know that Japan had surrendered until we occupied the mining area. "

   "Did they say what tantalum mines are for?"

   "Nobuyoshi Mizuno said it was used to make capacitors, but I don't know what it is."

   "Are you sure neither the Natal government nor the police know about this matter?"

   "Judging from the current situation, the possibility of not knowing about this mine is relatively high. If these officials know about it, they will get a share of it no matter what.

  As for the police, I have also interrogated them. They have not been to that remote mountain village for seven or eight years.

  However, some people know that there are illegal workers in the salt field. "

   "Then first transport that tantalum mine back to the warehouse and seal it up, and send these people who illegally exploit the country's mineral resources directly to court, and follow the normal procedure for trial. Remember to notify the reporter to follow up and interview.

  As for small characters like the mine guard team, let them dig a hole by themselves and bury it! "

   "Yes, boss!"

  Fang Lang doesn't care about the value of tantalum ore now. Because even if this tantalum mine is very valuable, Brazil does not allow private mining. He can swallow a batch from the smelted materials at most.

  In Fang Lang's mind, it is more important to further stigmatize the reputation of the Japanese among the Brazilian people.

   And this group of workers from their hometown was also a surprise for Fang Lang.
