Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 654 Spring Festival Gathering

   As the most solemn festival in the Chinese tradition, the Chinese in Brazil attach great importance to it. In the past, there were not many Chinese in Brazil, and the scale and number of celebrations were not large, and even some small gatherings were held in Chinese villages.

  However, with the rapid expansion of Chinese immigrants in Brazil in recent years, coupled with the guidance of Chinese organizations controlled by Hong Yitang and the Fang family, the activities of the Chinese Spring Festival have already left the Chinese circle.

  As early as a week before the Spring Festival, Chinese people all over Brazil began to decorate with lanterns and festoons, and organized various celebration activities, especially various gatherings of fellow villagers, and various gatherings in the form of chambers of commerce.

  The factory of the Chinese boss also began to organize dinners and lucky draws to celebrate the Spring Festival, which made the Brazilian people who were not familiar with this festival start to like it.

Especially those workers who work in factories with Chinese bosses love this festival very much. Not only will there be sumptuous festival dinners, but also exciting lottery activities with rich prizes and a high winning rate. All the Brazilian people, I can't wait to have a holiday like this every day.

  The trade union is promoting such activities in factories all over Brazil at this time. Although many factory owners are unwilling to spend such a sum of money to organize such activities. However, there are factories that cannot stand up to Chinese bosses, and the huge influence of trade unions makes these factories have to participate.

Among them, the companies that took the lead in holding such activities are naturally the various companies under the Fangyuan Group. In just two years, the entire Brazilian company has formed this culture of organizing company employees to hold spring activities before the Spring Festival. atmosphere.

   And all of this is naturally Fang Lang's means of exporting Chinese culture to the whole of Brazil. With the popularity of Spring Festival activities in various factories in the past two years, almost everyone knows the existence of the Chinese Spring Festival.

   Next, various Chinese stores and shopping malls also began to hold various promotional activities in the name of Spring Festival promotions, which even surpassed the traditional Christmas promotions of Westerners.

  This makes more Brazilians look forward to the Spring Festival in China.

It was in such a lively atmosphere that time slowly came to the Spring Festival. Although the climate in Brazil made many Chinese feel very uncomfortable, Hongyitang and Chinese groups all over Brazil organized various celebrations such as lion dances and flower streets. The activities still let many Chinese feel the festive atmosphere.

  Many homesick Chinese found some spiritual comfort and took to the streets one after another to participate in this collective celebration.

  The red lanterns all over the street, couplets, firecrackers resounding day and night, and the New Year’s Eve dinner for every family reunion, made many wanderers in foreign countries find the feeling of home.

   During this period of time, under the orders of the Police Headquarters, the police took to the streets one after another to maintain order in the streets. Although many police officers were quite supportive of this, local Chinese groups came to express their condolences to the police stations all over the country, and even stuffed red envelopes into the hands of the police officers amidst the blessings of Gong Xi Fa Cai.

   This made the police officers fall in love with this festival instantly, and learned the first Chinese sentence in their lives, "Gong Xi Fa Cai!"

Fang Lang was also in this warm atmosphere, and brought the three women back to his home in Sao Paulo. The three women who had already participated in several Spring Festival group dinners were familiar with this, and they took the initiative to join in the production of the New Year's Eve dinner .

   And Fang Lang and other men also started to do it one after another, and they were very busy worshiping gods and ancestors.

After everyone finished the reunion dinner, a group of women's family members consciously walked aside to chat about topics that women are interested in, while Fang Lang and the other heads of the Fang family automatically gathered in the Fang family In the ancestral hall, discuss the current situation of the family this year.

   "Lang'er, do you really want to stop emigrating from your hometown? Now we have only over 10 million Chinese in Brazil. I think we can continue!"

   Fang Lang's uncle Fang Xinshui was the first to speak. Although immigration and labor dispatch work have not been very profitable, but with the increase of Chinese in Brazil in the past two years, their Hongyitang has also developed very rapidly.

  He naturally hopes that this business can continue, and it is best to make the Chinese population in Brazil the main population of Brazil.

  Hearing the words, Fang Lang shook his head with a smile and said:

   "It is time to stop. First of all, the old home has changed owners. The new government is completely different from the national government. If we continue to immigrate from the old home regardless, it may arouse the resentment of the old home;

  Secondly, the proportion of our Chinese population in Brazil is close to one-fifth. This number has made many Brazilians feel the crisis.

  Now Brazil and the United States are very close, and the new regime in my hometown is hostile to the Americans. We must pay attention not to arouse the vigilance of the Yankees.

   At that time, maybe they have suffered a loss in their hometown, and they will try their best to make up for us through the Brazilian government.

  We must not give them such an opportunity. "

   Upon hearing this, Fang Xinshui was very unhappy and said directly:

   "He Yankee has too much control! Our Brazilian affairs have nothing to do with their Yankees. Why should he come here to dictate?"

  Hearing this, Fang Lang looked at the people in the ancestral hall. Everyone had different expressions. Some people began to think, some nodded in recognition of Fang Xinshui's point of view, and some looked at Fang Lang, wanting to see his answer.

   Seeing this, Fang Lang smiled slightly, lighted a cigar calmly and said:

   "You are right. What happened to us in Brazil really has nothing to do with his Yankees. However, the Yankees now consider themselves to be the leaders of the American countries.

  When he was fighting for hegemony with the Soviet Union, he would never allow other voices to appear in his back garden. Therefore, once he is aware of our existence, if it is a threat to them, they will definitely try their best to wipe us out in the bud.

   This is obviously not in line with our goal of low-key development and quietly infiltrating and controlling Brazil. "

Everyone was thoughtful when they heard the words, and understood that what Fang Lang said was indeed the truth. Although many of our businesses are now doing business with Americans, everyone is very clear about the attitude of the United States towards Chinese people. The existence of the bill is an unforgettable scar for all Chinese.

  Fang Xinshui also understood that what Fang Lang said was the reality, but he still didn't want to give up just like this, so he couldn't help but continue to say:

  "Since it is not appropriate to immigrate from our hometown, it doesn't matter if we immigrate from other places! We still have many compatriots living in dire straits in Southeast Asia!

  If none of these places work, let's go to their US immigration headquarters! Don't they dislike Chinese? Then we simply immigrate all the Chinese in their country, which not only satisfies their dislike of Chinese, but also further expands the proportion of our Chinese in Brazil.

  As for some people in Brazil who are wary of the increase in the number of us Chinese, I want to see what kind of **** they are, and then I will personally shut him up. "

  Hearing this, Fang Lang understood that Fang Xinshui didn't want to give up his plan to continue immigrating to Brazil, so he shook his head with a wry smile and said:

"Now the situation in my hometown has gradually become peaceful. The large-scale immigration action will indeed be stopped, but I have no objection to your idea of ​​immigrating from Southeast Asia. My compatriots were rescued, and I raised my hands to support them.

   But when emigrating, we must carefully screen. We are only helping Chinese compatriots escape the war, and we must not let those Southeast Asian natives take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and quietly run to Brazil through our immigration boats.

  It is not impossible to immigrate from the United States to Brazil, but we also have to do a good job of screening. Many Chinese compatriots who have lived in the United States for a long time have already been assimilated by American culture and become real banana people.

  This kind of people does not recognize their Chinese origin. If they immigrate here, the United States may pay attention to us faster, so you must be careful not to let this kind of person appear on the immigration list.

  It is those high-quality talents who are engaged in scientific research in the United States. If you recognize your Chinese identity and have the opportunity, I hope you can find a way to mobilize them to live in Brazil. "

   Seeing Fang Lang let go and agreeing to continue immigrating to Brazil from other places, Fang Xinshui was naturally very happy, and laughed loudly:

   "Haha... Well, it would be nice if I can immigrate from other places. Now I have fully realized the benefits of strength in numbers.

  I think back when there were only a few thousand of us Chinese in the whole of Brazil, it was really difficult and we were controlled by others everywhere! Looking at the present, our Chinese compatriots are everywhere when we go out, and we are no longer afraid of being bullied. "

Seeing the other party's excited face, Fang Lang could only shake his head with a smile. Of course, he also wanted to further increase the number of Chinese in Brazil. It would be best to develop Brazil into the second hometown of the Chinese, so that further progress could be made. Expand the living space of the Chinese.

   Seeing Fang Xinshui is already satisfied, and everyone else is smiling. Now Fangyuan Group is making rapid progress in various industries in Brazil. When everyone gets together during the Chinese New Year and discusses the development of the company, everyone is naturally smiling.

   The topic Fang Lang is most concerned about now is naturally the development of the military industry. After Fang Xinshui stopped speaking, he looked directly at his father.

   "Dad, is there any new progress in the military industry?"

   Fang Xinshan, who was sitting on the side chatting with his father, turned around with a smile after hearing Fang Lang's question:

"It's only been three months since you left, how much change can there be? Since our shipyard completed the first destroyer independently designed and built by the Ministry of the Navy, it has begun to carry out the research and development and design of a new guided missile destroyer according to your vision. up.

   Now we are waiting for the research results of anti-ship missiles from the Missile Research Laboratory. "

   "Oh! Has the research on anti-ship missiles come out now?"

"The first test shot failed to hit the target accurately. The personnel in the research room have found the reason and made improvements. It is expected that the second test shot will be able to be carried out in mid-March. Once the test shot is successful, we will be considered to have The ability to design and manufacture missiles independently.

   I have to say that to have such a result, I have to thank that unremarkable computer laboratory. Since the electronic computer laboratory developed new transistors, the computing speed of electronic computers has increased rapidly, providing strong technical support for missile research, aircraft manufacturing and other cutting-edge weapon manufacturing.

  According to the words of the research laboratory staff, it is to equip their research and development speed with flying wings. "

  Hearing this, Fang Lang couldn't help but burst into laughter. He had to say that it was indeed a stroke of genius that he brought Konrad Zuse, a German computer genius, back from Switzerland.

  He not only allowed Fangyuan Group to have its own computer research laboratory, but also directly made the entire Brazilian computer industry almost stand on the same starting line as the United States.

  At that time, when this news was announced, it shocked the jaws of many European and American countries. And by investing in Bell Labs, this electronic computer laboratory was the first to come into contact with transistors, and put it into the practical field of electronic computers in the first place.

At the same time, considering the shortcomings of the high failure rate and insufficient yield rate of germanium transistors, Fang Lang instructed them to conduct research on silicon transistors early on, and after obtaining the manufacturing process of germanium transistors, he directly established the No. A semiconductor research and production company.

  These actions are very advanced in the whole world. It can be said that the Brazilian Fangyuan Group is at the forefront of the world in the research and use of transistors.

   This naturally benefited a large number of high-tech research institutions and gained a lot of benefits.

   "Haha...Electronic computers are destined to become the forefront of future technology, and it is only just starting now, and it has had such a huge impact on our high-end equipment manufacturing.

   After it further develops and matures, our entire industry will benefit. For example, our machine tool manufacturing will soon enter the era of CNC machine tools.

  Once we take the lead in becoming a manufacturer of CNC machine tools, our Fangyuan Group will inevitably become a leader in the world's machine tool field in the future, which will have far-reaching implications for our group's profitability and influence in the world. "

  Fang Lang's words made all the relatives present look sideways. Everyone knows that the Fangyuan Group is developing very well now, and the machine tool manufacturing enterprises are also developing rapidly while the Fangyuan Group's automobile, aircraft, and ship manufacturing fields are developing rapidly.

  But everyone only thinks of this machine tool manufacturer, and they barely survive on the group's business. Unexpectedly, in Fang Lang's mind, they are planning to cultivate this company into a global machine tool leader.

   But Fang Xinshan, as the chairman of the group company, has a certain understanding of the development in this area, and nodded seriously:

   "You talked about this CNC machine tool. I saw their research and development plan a few days ago. It seems that Mercedes-Benz commissioned them to produce a CNC machine tool specially used to manufacture special-shaped parts for gearboxes.

  Our machine tool designer proposes to use computer programming to control the operation of the machine tool, so as to improve the machining accuracy and processing efficiency! This should be what you call a CNC machine tool! "

Fang Lang was also taken aback when this remark came out. He did not expect that the group's machine tool processing plant had reached this point. Although he had always talked about the concept of CNC machine tools with Wilbur Serrano and the others, he did not expect In such a short period of time, they have already started to put all this into action.

  He doesn't remember when the earliest CNC machine tools were developed, but now it seems that the research and development of CNC machine tools of his group has definitely been at the forefront of the world.
