Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

Chapter 725 Impact 2

But even if the U.S. government tries every means to suppress it, it has not been able to prevent Fangyuan Machine Tools from leaving Brazil and going global, becoming a high-precision product in the eyes of those working in the machine tool industry.

Because, driven by Fang Lang, this machine tool factory was one of the first companies to combine electronic computers and machine tools to develop CNC machine tools.

 And because of Brazil’s world-leading position in the field of electronic computers, the CNC machine tools produced by Fangyuan Group are far ahead of other machine tool brands in the world in terms of CNC.

This forced the United States to choose to cease operations in the end, but in this case, Fangyuan Group's machine tool company did not want to be too public, so it did not appear to be famous outside the professional field. They didn't even think about vigorously promoting the company's products externally.

Just the orders brought by the expansion of the group's automobile brands can feed the machine tool factory. It also allows many customers who have used the company's machine tools to recognize the company's products from the bottom of their hearts.

Because they did not want to offend the Americans too much, the company's products were not sold to the Soviet Union. For this reason, the Soviet Union paid a huge price and entrusted its hometown to purchase the corresponding products from Brazil and then shipped them back to the Soviet Union through its hometown.

  After using these high-precision processing equipment from Fangyuan Group, the factory in my hometown even replaced many of the machining equipment of key enterprises with those manufactured by Fangyuan Group.

In order to cooperate with Fangyuan Aircraft Manufacturing Company to produce more advanced aircraft, the machine tool manufacturing plant also invests heavily in research and development, which greatly ensures that the technical strength of the machine tool processing plant is always at the world's advanced level.

 It has also made Fangyuan Machine Tool Processing Factory a pivotal brand in the world's machine tool industry.

There is another company in the Fangyuan Group that is as low-key as the machine tool factory, and that is Fangyuan Pharmaceutical. This factory started out by manufacturing penicillin. In addition to supplying the domestic market in Brazil, most of the products it produced were shipped to their hometown to be used with their hometown. in exchange for large numbers of labor and immigrants.

 Hence, this company is inconspicuous among the many industries of Fangyuan Group. However, with the liberation of their hometown, the business of labor dispatch companies and immigration companies, which were very prosperous at the beginning, began to shrink on a large scale and underwent transformation. In addition to maintaining basic company operations, a large number of company employees were diverted to the import and export trade and tourism service industries. .

Of course, the penicillin production line that Fangyuan Pharmaceutical had set up in exchange for the population could not be left abandoned. At the same time, Fang Lang also knew what a huge blue ocean the pharmaceutical industry was.

 Hence, the products produced by Fangyuan Pharmaceutical’s excess production capacity were launched into the European and American markets at a relatively low price. Throughout the Peninsular War, penicillin produced by Fangyuan Pharmaceutical also became an important drug for the United Nations military.

To this end, Fangyuan Pharmaceutical also acquired a pharmaceutical company in Japan and moved a production line there to explore the Asian pharmaceutical market.

 At the same time, Fangyuan Pharmaceutical established a large pharmaceutical research institute in Brazil and began the research and development of various antibiotic drugs. In addition, because of the large Chinese population in Brazil, traditional Chinese medicine has a huge market in Brazil, which naturally drives the popularity of traditional Chinese medicine products in Brazil.

To this end, Fangyuan Medicine has collected many precious traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions from its hometown, ranging from Angong Niuhuang Pills to Huoluo Oil. Various medicines have begun to enrich Fangyuan Medicine's product line. Let Fangyuan Pharmaceutical begin its transformation from a company that produces penicillin to a pharmaceutical giant.

In addition to medicine, Fang Lang also got Fangyuan Medicine involved in the medical equipment manufacturing industry early. In addition to the most basic surgical tools, he also began to research some electrocardiograms, B-ultrasound machines, X-ray machines, and even some expensive medical consumables.

  Not only has it promoted the rapid development of Fangyuan Medicine, it has also made Fang Lang’s wife Lilith’s medical career a huge success. After all, her family not only has its own hospital, but is also backed by a huge pharmaceutical group.

 When they want to perform surgery, Fangyuan Medicine can provide them with a lot of equipment that they didn’t have before or that they thought of at the last minute. Many times, as long as Lilith proposes a surgical idea, the technicians at the equipment factory will take the initiative to start research around this idea.

This not only allowed Lilith's medical skills to be rapidly improved, but also allowed the strength of Fangyuan Hospital to rise rapidly, and a large number of medical masters of various kinds began to be born in the hospital. The number of medical papers published has also begun to increase rapidly.

  New medical theories are also emerging one after another, slowly making the Fangyuan Hospital in Brazil become a world-renowned hospital.

Comparable to the achievements in these industrial fields are the achievements made by Fangyuan Group in the energy industry. Among them, power plants in Brazil have developed the fastest, from medium-sized thermal power plants at the beginning to large hydropower plants and new energy fields. of wind power plants.

 With the integration of Fangyuan Electric Power Group, Brazil’s domestic electricity has completed a nationwide network, and the amount of electricity produced every year can be regarded as completely solving Brazil’s industrial needs.

 Let Fangyuan Group’s electrolytic aluminum factory continue to expand in scale, gradually becoming the world’s largest aluminum manufacturer. It not only digested all the bauxite resources of Northern Mining, but also digested 70% of the raw ore on the other side of the Atlantic, Guinea, which ranks first in the world in terms of bauxite reserves.

˜It has allowed Brazil to completely get rid of its status as a raw material exporter of bauxite.

At the same time, because of the surge in industrial demand in Brazil and backed by world-class iron ore resources such as Vale, Fangyuan Group’s achievements in steel smelting have also attracted world attention.

 The steel produced can not only meet the needs of Fangyuan military industry, but also meet the needs of civilian automobiles, shipbuilding, infrastructure and other aspects.

 Even, there is a large amount of excess production capacity spreading to the South American and African markets. Brazil has become the world's leading country in steel production.

 In today's international society, steel production is equal to the country's strength. Fangyuan Group's achievements in the steel field have directly pushed Brazil's international status to a new height.

 It has given Brazil a qualitative leap in its international status, and even the United States does not dare to provoke it easily.

On the other hand, due to the easing of relations with the United States, Fangyuan Group has made more frequent and bold moves in the world oil market. Not only has it taken 80% of Angola's oil share, but it has also actively intervened in the crude oil of Nigeria and Congo. mining areas.

 In the African oil market, Fangyuan Petrochemical has immediately become a well-deserved leading company. It has a great say in Africa's oil production. Logically speaking, it is more than enough to use African oil resources to meet Brazil's oil needs, but Fangyuan Petrochemical did not stop there, but continued to quietly extend its tentacles into the American bowl.

 The two small countries in the Persian Gulf have also obtained a large share of oil. In this regard, the US government also turned a blind eye and did not pursue it excessively.

 Because at this time, Fangyuan Group has become a world economic giant, and its many subsidiaries are almost among the world's top 100 companies. Such a company naturally has very close direct cooperation with American capital.

If the U.S. government wants to attack them, it will directly cause a chain reaction of a large number of American companies. In this case, unless the president of the U.S. government is crazy, he will attack Fangyuan Group directly without hesitation.

Compared with Fangyuan Group’s absolute dominance in Brazil, Universal Group is much more low-key. Since it was worried that Americans would take action against Fang Lang’s industry, Universal Group began to transfer assets from the United States and shifted its focus from the United States to Europe. and Asia.

Of course, this transfer was quite mild and did not cause dissatisfaction with the US government. On the contrary, Universal Group has minimized Fang Lang's influence in Universal Group through means such as exchanging shares with other companies.

 However, the control over European and Asian branches has not declined, but has increased slightly. Because the companies he exchanged shares with in the United States were all powerful large capital consortiums.

  Not only has huge influence in the economic field, but also has huge influence in politics. It has almost reached the point where it can decide the candidate for president. This is why the Americans never dared to attack Brazil or the Fangyuan Group.

Because once someone in the U.S. government takes action against Fang, not only the financial backer in Brazil will be affected, but the father of the U.S. president’s financial backer will also be affected! No one with a sane mind would do such a stupid thing.

 Time came to 1959 unknowingly. After several years of all-out economic construction, Brazil's economy, driven by Fangyuan Group, has made brilliant achievements.

 The economic aggregate exceeds that of Germany and is slightly lower than that of the United Kingdom, ranking fourth in the world. Such achievements have attracted the attention of people around the world.

 The Fang family has completely become the largest chaebol in Brazil and even the world, and has a considerable say in the world's economic and political fields.

It was also this year that the American Fortune magazine tried to list the Fang family as the most influential family tycoon in the world. Everyone in the Fang family was very excited about this.

 But Fang Lang was very wary of this and suppressed the matter directly through his own influence. Everyone in the Fang family felt very puzzled.

But Fang Lang knows that anything good as good as Lin Feng will destroy it. The current Fang family is a bit too high-profile, which is not good news for them. Because this means that everyone's eyes will be focused on them.

 Everyone knows they are a piece of fat meat, and everyone wants to take a bite. In order to avoid such a situation, Fang Lang quickly made a decision to let the Fang family slowly disappear from the front desk to behind the scenes, out of the sight of the world.

It is actually not difficult to do this, because many families in the world have already done this, especially those Jewish families who were severely harvested by the Germans during World War II. Just done very well.

 What the Fang family has to do is to learn from them, by establishing various investment companies in some countries, and through a series of means such as cross-shareholding, to transfer the Fang family's shares to the names of these companies.

 Then, gradually reduce the exposure of the Fang family and Fangyuan Group in the media. And reduce the number of company names named after square circles.

 Let Fangyuan Group and Fang Family slowly fade out of people’s sight.

In particular, with the outbreak of the Vietnam War, when the world's attention was attracted to the war, the Fang family accelerated the pace of transformation. When the United States withdrew its troops from Vietnam in 1969, people suddenly discovered that they did not know when it started. The size of the group has actually shrunk to the point where it can only rank within 100 of the world's top 500 companies.

 It was also in this year that Fang Lang was officially appointed as Brazil’s Minister of Defense, completely taking control of Brazil’s military power. As for the position of Minister of Defense, he held it for twenty years.

  In his hands, the Brazilian army was completely transformed into a modern and world-powerful army. He himself has appeared on the cover of Time magazine many times. Although he deliberately keeps a low profile, people still admire him immensely.

Especially the men in Brazil worshiped him even more, because he single-handedly got Brazil to pass the polygamous marriage bill in this era when women's rights were gradually becoming more popular.

 The stories between him and his five wives are also talked about by people. If Fang Lang hadn't strongly refused, the TV stations would have wanted to put the stories of him and his wives directly on the screen.

What puzzles many people is that Fang Lang, a Chinese born in Brazil, seems to have an unusual love for China. Especially in 1989, when he resigned as Brazil's Minister of Defense, he immediately took his The family took a special plane to China.

Moreover, the companies controlled by the Fang family began to enter the Chinese market in a large scale as soon as the reform and opening up. Not only did the Chinese economy achieve remarkable achievements in a short period of time, it also allowed the Fang family consortium to enter the Chinese market again. caught the attention of world capital.
