Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 223 Advisor

  Although General Clark has retired from the U.S. Navy, as a Rear Admiral of the U.S. Navy, he still has a very huge influence within the U.S. Navy, at least not comparable to Fang Lang.

  The next day, at noon, Fang Lang received a call from Jefferson, the manager of the Shata Company, telling Fang Lang that he no longer had to meet with the Minister of the Navy.

  This aircraft carrier transaction will directly become a purely commercial act, and even the Brazilian Navy Department will not need to come forward.

  The only requirement is that the Brazilian Navy must recruit a naval advisory group of about 300 people from among the retired naval officers of the United States to guide the Brazilian Navy to become familiar with the use of aircraft carriers.

  The duration of this employment contract cannot be less than three years.

  This kind of requirement should not be too loose for Brazil.

  This shocked Manager Jefferson, and kept asking around, how Fang Lang persuaded General Nimitz of the US Navy.

   This is simply beyond Jefferson's cognition.

   Of course Fang Lang would not tell Manager Jefferson what kind of relationship he was looking for.

  As a boss, you always have to make sure you have cards that the other party doesn’t know, so that the other party can maintain respect for you.

   Maybe because of this incident, this American retired military officer will feel awe of Fang Lang in his heart.

   After all, the unknown is often awe-inspiring.

  Since the intervention of General Clark made things so simple, Fang Lang was of course happy and relaxed.

   Directly sent a telegram to inform Rear Admiral Friedrich Crook, Chief of Staff of the Brazilian Navy General Staff, who was preparing to depart from Brazil for negotiations in the United States, that the matter had been settled.

   Instead of going through the high-level negotiations of the Navy, it has directly become a purely commercial behavior.

   And explained the request of the United States to Major General Crook.

   This made General Crook, who was about to pay something, bewildered, wondering when the Americans became so kind.

   There is quite a dreamlike sense of unreality.

  Finally, he sent a telegram back and spoke highly of Fang Lang's ability, emphasizing again and again that the Brazilian Navy can afford enough public relations expenses.

   Fang Lang certainly would not refuse such a request.

  However, he did not give these public relations fees to others, and of course he would not put a small public relations fee into his own pocket. Boss Fang's eyelids are not so shallow.

   Instead, they are all used to purchase additional F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter jets and TBF "Avenger bombers" from Shata Corporation.

  In this way, no one will be left with the excuse, after all, it is easy to be used as a handle for private use of public funds.

   As for the salary and benefits of the US military advisory group, the Brazilian Navy must be responsible for it!

  Whether it is public or private, Fang Lang is very clear about these matters.

  Since the matter of the aircraft carrier has been answered accurately.

   The first step for Fang Lang to do is to set up an organizational structure for the aircraft carrier.

  That afternoon, Fang Lang joined General Clark again and began to form the so-called US military advisory group.

   "You mean, this so-called US military advisory group is actually the original team of officers on the USS Tarawa aircraft carrier?"

  General Clark took it for granted:

   "Otherwise? Now that the Tarawa is going to be sold to your Brazilian Navy, the active officers must retire.

   Is there anyone who knows this aircraft carrier better than these original officers? "

  Fang Lang thought about it for a while and felt that it didn't matter. After all, these people are just consultants. They can ask if they can, and if they don't, who cares about you!

  As long as the aircraft carrier is under their absolute control, these people can sincerely teach the Brazilian Navy what they have learned.

   "Yes, as long as they will sincerely teach my people the knowledge they have acquired, I have no problem."

   "Don't worry about this, since this is the content of the transaction agreed by the Ministry of the Navy.

   Those of us will definitely teach you within three years to fully master the use of aircraft carriers and related techniques and tactics of aircraft carriers. "

   General Clark said very simply.

   "OK, then when will your personnel be in place, I need to organize personnel to my fleet to screen qualified aircraft carrier crew members.

   Also, you have to make sure that this Tarawa is a fully American aircraft carrier.

  If there is any reduction in the product delivered to me, I will refuse to pay. "

  Fang Lang is very aware of the virtues of the Yankees of later generations. He keeps the good things for himself, and only sells the bad ones.

   Forget it, second-hand equipment is often dismantled, and it is not the same thing as the original.

  However, Clark was taken aback by what he said?

   "What does the allocation reduction mean?"

  Obviously, the current Yankees haven’t learned the tricks behind. During the war, all the allies advance and retreat together, authorize each other, and everything is for the victory of the war.

  Fang Lang shook his head quickly and said:

   "Nothing, as long as you make sure there isn't any teardown going on with the carrier.

   I don’t know where this aircraft carrier is now, does it say where to receive it? "

   "I said brat, aren't you entering the role too quickly, I haven't signed a contract with you yet!

  I'm not your advisor yet, so don't ask me everything, okay?

  The aircraft carrier transaction is a matter for your Brazilian Navy and Shata Company. When and where the delivery will be made, you should communicate with them about these matters.

   instead of asking me. "

  General Clark's tone revealed some dissatisfaction. Obviously, he would be a little uncomfortable working under Fang Lang in the future.

   Fang Lang smiled and said:

   "As the major shareholder of the Shata Company, I believe that the Shata Company would not dare to make any changes to my aircraft carrier.

   What I'm more worried about is whether your Admiralty will act unwillingly. "

  Fang Lang's words made General Clark unable to react for a long time. He opened and closed his mouth again and again, and said as if he had seen a ghost:

   "You just said that you are the major shareholder of Shata Company?

how can that be? Didn't it mean that this company is a company with huge energy, and the shareholders behind it are some big names in the military?

  How could you, a Brazilian navy captain, be the major shareholder of this company. "

   Of course, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better.

   Seeing Clark's shocked expression, Fang Lang knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and this kind of thing shouldn't be said.

  However, since the other party already knows, if I choose to shut up now, it will obviously make the other party absolutely distrust him.

   He hesitated for a while.

   General Clark saw Fang Lang's expression, how could he not understand.

  What this guy said may really be true, but if such a big gossip is not clear, Clark feels that he will definitely not be able to sleep.

  So, I was unwilling to give up, and waited for Fang Lang's answer with a curious face.

  Fang Lang thought over and over again, thinking that the penicillin equipment that Mrs. Clark got for herself was also purchased through Global Trade.

   It is estimated that even if he doesn't tell him, the old guy can find out when he goes back.

  Finally, he simply confessed:

   "Global Trading Company, the largest shareholder of Shata Company, is even my company registered in the United States.

  The reason why the Shata Company was established was to facilitate the acquisition of an arms order from a tank division of our Brazilian Army.

   So, I'm one of the founders of this company.

   But later, big shots from all walks of life got involved. So, your message is not wrong!

   They pay for the relationship, and my global trade pays for it. "

  General Clark never thought that the savior of his son in front of him would be a hidden big capitalist.

   You must know that there are many forces behind this Shata company that he can't afford to mess with.

   Fortunately, I always thought that the other party wanted to gain benefits from the US military through my relationship.

   It turned out that the clown turned out to be himself, and others are not without roots in the US military.

  As for the majority shareholder of this company, it is not an American.

  This kind of thing is not something Clark needs to care about. The big shots don't have any opinions, so why should he make irresponsible remarks.

   You must know that the United States is a capitalist country, capital is king, and whoever has money has power.

  Clark could only cough a few times in the end:

   "I see, I'll pretend I haven't heard of this matter, and you shouldn't tell others about it."

   Seeing General Clark being so knowledgeable and interesting, Fang Lang was relieved.

  What he doesn't know is that General Clark at this time is not just as simple as being knowledgeable.

  At this time, in the eyes of General Clark, Fang Lang was no longer simply his son's savior, his junior.

   But a capitalist with a strong background, just like his wife's natal family.

  He knew very well that if it weren't for his wife's family relationship, it would be impossible for him to break through the boundaries of his skin color and become the powerful rear admiral of the United States with his own efforts.

  Fang Lang changed the subject:

   "Okay, this topic is over.

   Regarding the establishment of the advisory group, we must hurry up. I don't want the ship to be done. We won't be able to drive it away by then. "

  Clark is not shirking with Fang Lang now, but said in every way:

   "Don't worry, the candidates have already been formed in my mind, and they are all good players who have experienced actual combat.

  The specific arrival time may take a week.

  I assure you that after a week, our advisory group can start to cooperate with your work. "

  General Clark's silent attitude change, Fang Lang felt it very clearly, which made him feel relieved.

   After all, this old guy’s John’s father, he can’t achieve what he is today without the help of him and his family.

  If the other party really keeps holding the airs of an elder in front of him, it will indeed make Fang Lang very difficult to do, and it will not be conducive to the development of future work.

  Finally, it may also cause the relationship between himself and John to be affected.

   But now it seems that I accidentally revealed that the relationship between myself and the Shata Company has such an unexpected harvest.

   Fang Lang didn't expect this.

   "Well, I also just take advantage of this time to deal with some business matters.

  The matter of the advisory group will be fully entrusted to uncle, you can promise to all the members of the advisory group on my behalf,

  All members of the advisory group will receive the same treatment as they were in the US military.

  At the same time, according to the specific work situation that the consultant is in charge of, and the corresponding position of the Brazilian Navy personnel he is responsible for, the mastery of the knowledge of the corresponding job position will be scored.

  I will distribute bonuses according to the specific score, the higher the score, the higher the bonus.

   As for the specific bonus amount, I can only say that it must be higher than their salary. "

  General Clark was shown off by Fang Lang's operation of distributing bonuses based on performance KPI assessments.

   Blinked involuntarily, then swallowed and said:

   "Okay, okay!"
