This is the story of a modern sailor who accidentally becomes a soldier in the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, and, by relying on his foresight, eventually becomes the head of the largest financial ...
The next day, at Natal Naval Base, Fang Lang’s office.
"Boss, what do you mean by explosive news?"
Anderson, who had rushed over from Rio de Janeiro early in the morning, didn't even have time to take a close look at the spacious office before he spoke impatiently.
Fang Lang smiled and pointed to the tea table beside him.
"Don't worry, let's sit down and have a drink and talk."
Then he invited Anderson to sit at the tea table.
This was Fang Tao's first time visiting the place where Fang Lang worked. It was a huge naval base, with armed guards, busy training scenes, and huge warships looming on the seashore.
All of them make young people fascinated and they can't wait to join in.
Led by Adjutant Qi Qingshan, the two went through layers of inspection before entering this huge naval base and arriving at his brother's office.
...
...
This was the first time Fang Tao realized how powerful his brother was. It made people feel awe unconsciously.
Fang Tao, who was looking around the office, came to the tea table after hearing Fang Lang's words and said with envy:
"Brother, your office is really impressive."
Fang Lang smiled and said:
"I am not so impressive, if you want to know.
In the future, you can also prepare a big office for yourself!
Come and sit down. I called you here today because I have something important to arrange."
Hearing Fang Lang's greeting, Fang Tao hurried over and sat down next to Anderson.
By the time both of them came and sat down, Fang Lang had already started busying himself on the tea table.
“Mr. Anderson, how many viewers do we have on television now?
I don’t think it will become big news, but no one will read it! "
After all, the TV station had just been established, and its signal network had just covered major cities in Brazil, and it had not yet started officially broadcasting programs to the outside world.
Buying a TV is of no use, so now there are almost no private buyers of TVs in Brazil.
Nowadays, televisions are placed for free for display in crowded public areas for promotional purposes by TV stations.
"Boss, don't worry!
We now have more than 2,000 TVs in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo alone.
Others, each state has at least three hundred televisions.
They are all located in the most crowded places, so you don’t have to worry about not having an audience.
After our program is broadcast, television sales will definitely get on track.
If the big news you mentioned is explosive enough, it will surely promote our TV station more quickly.”
Hearing that Anderson wanted to reveal some real big news, Fang Lang did not continue to keep him in suspense and smiled and said:
"Is it big news that the director of the Public Security Department of the Police Headquarters is selling arms?"
Anderson, who was originally full of expectations, heard this and said bitterly:
"Boss, you don't know what big news is!
Are there not enough corrupt officials in the Brazilian government who engage in embezzlement?
This is hardly big news.”
Fang Lang looked at Anderson's expression and smiled. He didn't expect that this guy had already had such an understanding of Brazil's political ecology shortly after arriving in Brazil.
Fang Lang just smiled at this situation and didn't want to change anything.
This is not so easy to change, and it might even anger the public. He does not have the ability now to confront the entire society.
Just manage your family company well first, as long as no one dares to engage in corruption and bribery in his company.
As for the Brazilian government, forget it.
"What if the other party is sending arms to the Japanese?"
Fang Lang continued speaking slowly.
Anderson knew that the Japanese mob's attack on the presidential palace had led to widespread anti-Japanese public opinion in Brazil.
People pay more attention to news related to Japanese people.
It was indeed big news that the Director of Public Security of the Brazilian National Police sent arms to the Japanese.
Anderson's sitting posture became slightly more formal.
After thinking about it for a while, he said:
"If that's the case, it would be big news.
Unfortunately, it’s still not explosive enough.”
Fang Lang smiled and said nothing. Instead, he continued to make tea. When the tea was ready, he handed a cup to Anderson.
He handed another cup to Fang Tao.
Fang Tao had also been listening to the conversation between the two, as a student who graduated with a major in journalism and the manager of the Brazilian Times.
I am very interested in this news.
After looking at Anderson and Fang Lang, he smiled and said:
"Brother, this news may not be explosive enough for the TV station to use as the opening news.
But you can publish it in Brazil Times!
For mature media like us, this news is considered explosive news.”
Anderson also nodded, took a sip of tea and smiled:
"That's right, boss!
This news would definitely make the front-page headlines for the Brazilian Times.
Increase newspaper sales.
But as a TV station's first news broadcast, it's really not good enough."
Fang Lang smiled noncommittally at their opinions and refilled their teacups with tea.
Then, he picked up the tea in front of him, took a sip, and then said slowly:
"What if the Japanese use these weapons to create a massacre in Brazil?"
Anderson, who was holding a small teacup and complaining that the tea was a little small, stood up from his chair when he heard this.
He looked at Fang Lang in disbelief and said:
"Boss, is this true?"
Fang Tao, who was standing by, had just tasted the fragrance of the tea when he heard what his brother said.
The mouthful of tea spurted out like a fountain.
Fortunately, she reacted in time and turned her head to the side, otherwise she would have to wash her brother's face with tea.
Seeing this, Fang Lang pulled out a towel from his side and threw it over, muttering something.
"You are not young anymore, your hands and feet are clumsy, wipe them off quickly."
Fang Tao took the towel and wiped the corners of his mouth randomly. While wiping the wet areas, he asked directly:
"Brother, are you serious?
The Japanese really dared to commit massacres in Brazil."
Anderson stared at his boss closely, hoping to tell the truth of the news from Fang Lang's expression.
He knew very well that if the news was true, it would definitely not be an explosive news that would shock Brazil.
If handled properly, it can become an explosive news that shocks the world.
But Fang Lang seemed to be completely unaware of the two people's anxious mood. He took a towel and wiped the tea table that was wet by the tea sprayed by Fang Tao.
After a while, he wiped it quickly and saw Anderson still standing. He smiled and said:
"Don't be in a hurry, sit down and talk slowly."
After saying that, he handed the towel to Anderson and said:
"Anderson, wipe up the tea you spilled over there. Don't get your clothes wet."
Anderson was extremely anxious at the moment, but he looked so calm when he saw Fang Lang.
I was so anxious that I almost jumped up and down.
But the other party was the boss, so he could only follow his instructions and quickly wipe the tea that had spilled because of his excessive excitement just now with a towel.
Then he handed the towel back to Fang Lang.
Fang Lang smiled and took the towel handed to him.
He pointed at the tea stool and asked the other party to sit down, and said with a smile:
“Since I have already called you here, the news must be true.
Don’t forget, I’m the boss of the company, so of course I hope the company can get off to a good start.”
“Brother…this…this news is really shocking.
This is big news that could cause a major earthquake in Brazil!
Wherever this incident happened, we will immediately arrange for someone to conduct interviews and reports.”
Fang Tao was young after all, and he said impatiently.
Anderson obviously needs to mature a little, now that the boss has confirmed that this is true.
And if he could bring the film crew with him, it would definitely not be a wasted trip for him.
So, he sat down slowly, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and then let out a long sigh.
"Boss, this news is indeed explosive enough.
If we use this news as our opening news, it will definitely make our TV station take off immediately.
This will also be an important moment in history.”
Fang Lang smiled and said:
“But reporting this news has to be done in several steps, we can’t just jump right into the main course.
News needs to continue to ferment and then explode violently to achieve a huge effect.
Afterwards, we need to continue to dig deeper to maintain sufficient heat.
So, I plan to warm up with newspapers first, starting with reporting simple arms deals and then digging deeper step by step.
Finally, news of the massacre was released by television in the form of videos.
Directly ignite the hot news.
The TV station will then connect the events before and after the news and invite famous commentators to comment on the news program.
This will definitely achieve an explosive effect.
And, this is enough news to keep us rolling for more than a week.”
Fang Lang's words made Anderson and Fang Tao excited and they clapped their hands repeatedly.
Anderson couldn't wait to speak directly:
"Boss, I didn't expect you to know so much about news. Your idea of inviting famous commentators to comment on news programs is really great.
This news will definitely catch people's attention.
So what are you waiting for? Let’s get started now!
Please tell me where the massacre is happening and I will send my camera crew there to film it right now."
Fang Tao was also ready to get started.
"Brother, tell me quickly where all the people involved in the case are. I will start organizing interviews with everyone right away.
The first news will appear in the newspapers tomorrow."
After coughing twice, Fang Lang pressed his hands, signaling the two to stay calm.
He refilled the tea in front of the two people, then slowly spoke:
"Don't worry, I will have someone provide you with all the evidence and details of this case.
Including the people involved in the case, they are also under our control.
So, you don't need to rush.
Now, I want to tell you that the reason I ask you to report this news is not simply to give you explosive news.
You are all my own people, and I have nothing to hide.
In fact, this is my revenge against the Eddie family.
Let this matter be exposed, and Raymond Eddy's actions be directly exposed to the public, which is equivalent to declaring war on the Eddy family.
So, once you start reporting, you will definitely face tremendous pressure.
I hope you can withstand the pressure and expose the truth to the public."
Fang Lang's words stunned both of them.
Fang Tao asked directly with a puzzled look on his face:
“Brother, do you have a grudge against this Eddie family?”
Anderson thought more about it and was somewhat worried that this news might be fake news fabricated by Fang Lang in order to retaliate against others.
But think about it, the other party is his boss, even if the news is false, he must find a way to make it true.
As for pressure, I am an American. What kind of pressure can you, the officials of the Brazilian government, put on me?
If you really dare to threaten me, I will report you directly to the American Embassy.
