Chapter 424: New Business of the Military Contracting Company

Fang Lang and Alvin Rockefeller knew very well that once they chose to invest in the bank, the proportion of shares they could obtain would definitely not be able to reach the original 30%.

Moreover, it is obvious that as one of the original shareholders of this bank, the Morgan family must have a huge influence on this bank and can almost absolutely control the business direction of this bank.

But they did not mind. After all, with the existence of a bank that was originally responsible for distributing German reparations, their entry into the European financial market would certainly not be particularly obvious. At least, other domestic financial groups in the United States would not immediately react to what had happened.

As for the Morgan Consortium, as the original shareholder, they don't need to invest money to acquire shares, so they won't take it to heart.

Fang Lang, who knew the future achievements of this bank, would certainly not refuse the opportunity to invest in it. As for whether history would change because of his involvement, the answer is yes.

But he believes that this change is definitely for the better. After all, in the future the bank will not have the opportunity to intervene in the European aid program as early as it does now.

Charles Morgan, who had received a clear answer, just smiled and nodded:

"Well, since you all have no objection, let's use this bank's shell to complete our plan!"

Seeing that he did not mention how to operate, Alvin Rockefeller spoke directly:

...

...

"I don't know what the equity structure of this bank is like, and how our shares will be allocated!"

Fang Lang just took a puff of his cigarette silently, looking at the expressions of Harken Morgan and Eli Morgan, trying to see if there were any traps that he had not noticed.

However, seeing that the two were looking at their family head in surprise, Fang Lang knew that he might be overthinking it.

Obviously, this proposal might have been something Charles Morgan thought of on the spur of the moment. Considering that this plan was only proposed by him tonight, the Morgan family should not be able to make arrangements so quickly.

Besides, we are destined to become long-term partners. It is necessary to maintain necessary vigilance, but there is no need to be overly suspicious.

"The central banks of several major countries hold 35 percent of the shares, so we have to find a way to take the remaining 65 percent. If you have no objection, the distribution ratio will be 25 percent for us and 20 percent for each of you. What do you think?"

Fang Lang and Alvin Rockefeller were both stunned. They obviously did not expect the other party to be so generous considering that they only owned 25% of the shares.

The two looked at each other and exchanged their thoughts. Alvin Rockefeller simply nodded and said:

"That's fine with me."

Fang Lang followed with a smile and said:

"That's fine with me."

Charles Morgan seemed to have expected this, and nodded with a smile:

"Okay, in that case, I will come forward to negotiate with the other shareholders and acquire these 65% of the shares first, and then transfer 20% of the shares to each of you based on the market value!"

Although he didn't know why the other party suddenly became so easy to talk to and took the initiative to acquire the shares, Fang Lang didn't think much about it. After all, whether the other party would make a lot of profit in the acquisition process had little to do with him.

As long as he could successfully become a shareholder of this international settlement bank, he would have achieved his goal, so he nodded directly:

"no problem."

Alvin Rockefeller took a deep puff of cigarette, and didn't seem to notice anything unusual. He smiled and nodded.

"Can."

Hearing this, Charles Morgan smiled and stood up first, stretched out his right hand and said:

"In that case, I wish us a happy cooperation!"

After Fang Lang and Alvin Rockefeller looked at each other, they stood up, laughed, stretched out their right hands, and clasped the three hands tightly together.

“Haha…Happy cooperation!”

Just like that, everyone reached a consensus in this simple reception room, and the Bank for International Settlements, which will become almost like the European Central Bank in the future, officially began its restructuring work.

By the time Fang Lang escorted the guests out of the manor, the sky in the distance had already begun to turn slightly white.

Having achieved his goal, Fang Lang did not feel tired, but rather indescribably excited. This was the Bank for International Settlements! He did not expect that tonight's banquet would yield such a huge harvest.

In addition to asking the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family to help him acquire Caterpillar shares, he also became one of the major shareholders of the Bank for International Settlements.

With these, the direct descendants in the future can almost lie flat.

As for building highways in Europe, there is absolutely no problem at all. After all, the funds for road construction are borrowed from banks, and the construction is carried out by one's own engineering company.

No matter how you calculate it, this is a business that is sure to make a profit, so what is there to be dissatisfied about?

Therefore, Fang Lang had no intention of sleeping when he returned to the room. Looking at Lilith and Vivian who were sleeping soundly, Fang Lang unconsciously showed a malicious smile at the corner of his mouth.

Soon, exclamations began to be heard in the room:

"ah!"

"I want to sleep!"

“No!”

Soon the exclamations slowly began to turn into rapid gasps.

After a crazy night, the three of them didn't get up from the room until noon the next day. After a warm moment, Fang Lang rushed back to the office of Global Group and organized a meeting for the afternoon.

After communicating with the two major families, he arranged what needed to be done by his company, and asked the company to start preparing funds and be ready to take over Caterpillar at any time.

And conveyed the work direction and ideas after taking over Caterpillar.

In the next few days, Fang Lang became very busy and had no time to accompany Lilith and Vivian.

Fortunately, Lilith and Vivian invited some close friends and classmates to come over this time, so every day they took their close friends and classmates to experience the prosperity of New York.

Unexpectedly, Fang Lang did not receive a call from General Joseph Clark immediately, which made Fang Lang feel very surprised. After all, no matter what, Charlie Cole was his nephew, and the other party's behavior at the banquet had completely offended Fang Lang.

Logically speaking, no matter what General Joseph Clark's attitude is, he should come forward and express his attitude to Fang Lang.

But more than half a month had passed, and two days after Fang Lang returned to the military base in Natal, Brazil, Joseph Clark walked into Fang Lang's office with a stack of documents!

"Boss, this is the new business information of the military contracting company. Please take a look!"

For this meeting, Fang Lang asked his adjutant Qi Qingshan to inform the other party that there was a new task for him, so he came over.

I don't know when it started, but Joseph Clark has started calling Fang Lang "Boss" just like Fang Lang's subordinates. Considering the brotherly relationship between himself and John Clark, Fang Lang has asked him more than once not to call him that.

But they were all rejected by Joseph Clark.

Looking at the tired Joseph Clark, Fang Lang understood that he must have been busy with the military contracting company recently. He stood up with a smile, pointed to the tea table in his office and said casually:

"Thank you for your hard work, General Clark. Sit down and have some tea. Give me the information and I'll take a look at it later."

Joseph Clark forced a smile on his tired face and said with a somewhat forced smile:

"Okay, boss. Thanks to General Marshall's intervention, we were able to recruit enough people this time."

It turned out that the company was too large, the business it undertook was very sensitive, and it recruited too many professionals from the US military, which aroused the vigilance of the US military.

In addition to his boss Fang Lang's Brazilian identity, General Clark has some connections in the US Navy and is able to recruit enough talents from the US Navy, but General Clark is really helpless in the Army.

But how could such a military insurance company not have professional talents in the army? There was no good solution to this problem.

Ever since Fang Lang made friends with General Marshall in New York, he informed him about the matter and it was quickly resolved.

Moreover, the speed of resolution and the number of people recruited far exceeded Fang Lang's expectations.

While Fang Lang was cleaning the tea set on the table, he smiled at General Joseph Clark and said:

"In addition to helping us greet people and making it easier for us to recruit people, did General Marshall introduce you to any new business?"

Joseph Clark was stunned by this. He looked at the busy and casual Fang Lang with some confusion and asked hesitantly:

"Ah! That's not the case, boss, do you have any new news?

Does the US military have any orders suitable for us now? "

While taking tea leaves out of the tea can, Fang Lang looked up at Joseph Clark, who was looking puzzled. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he slowly said:

"How are your connections at the U.S. Department of Defense?"

Joseph Clark, who was somewhat confused by Fang Lang's jumping thoughts, was even more confused. He smiled bitterly when he heard Fang Lang's question, and said helplessly:

"Boss, a minority like me has been able to rise to my current position in the U.S. military thanks to the war. Otherwise, I would probably have only been a Marine colonel at best.

You asked me what my connections are in the Ministry of Defense. I can only tell you that I know some people, but my influence is limited. "

Fang Lang glanced at the other person's obvious Indian appearance, nodded in understanding, and paused for a moment before saying:

"I see. Let's put it this way! You should know that among the retired generals, those people have a greater influence on the Ministry of Defense!"

Joseph Clark was able to become a U.S. Navy rear admiral as an Indian, so he must have a very flexible mind. After hearing this, he had some guesses of his own. He said with some uncertainty:

"Boss, do you mean that we should recruit a few people like this? But is this necessary?"

While Fang Lang was making tea, he smiled at Joseph Clark and said:

"It's not about trying to win over others. My opinion is that it would be best if we could hire a few influential generals to serve as consultants to our military contracting companies. It would be best if we could have generals from the navy, army, and air force.

They don’t need to clock in every day, but they should be able to come out and solve problems for us when we need them.”

At this moment, Joseph Clark's eyes lit up, and he said with some surprise:

"I understand. This way we won't be as passive as this time. We will be restricted in recruiting some outstanding army talents."

Handing a cup of brewed tea to Joseph Clark, Fang Lang smiled and made a gesture to invite him for tea.

"That's just one aspect. Remember what I just asked you about whether General Marshall introduced any business to you?"

Joseph Clark took the teacup and said thank you. He looked at Fang Lang in surprise and said:

"What do you mean, boss? Does the US military really have business orders that are suitable for us?"

Fang Lang picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said to Joseph Clark:

"It should still be pushed forward. I expect that the White House should be able to make a decision in March this year. If it is confirmed, then we will make a fortune."

As the head of a military contracting company, Joseph Clark certainly hopes that the company he is in charge of will have as much business as possible. After hearing Fang Lang's words, he was a little excited and asked:

"Boss, do you have any new news?"

Fang Lang believed that word would soon get out about this matter. As Joseph Clark was his own man, Fang Lang did not want to hide it. After all, he was planning to let him be responsible for lobbying the US government!

So, he smiled and said:

"The influence of the Soviet Union in Europe is rapidly expanding, and the US government is very worried about this. I believe you should be aware of this, right?"

Hearing this, Joseph Clark nodded, and nodded hesitantly:

"Are you going to go to war with the Soviet Union? We can't get involved in such a big thing!"

"Haha... The World War just ended. Neither the United States nor the Soviet Union wanted to see such a large-scale war. So, the situation you mentioned is impossible to happen.

However, the U.S. government has raised its vigilance against the Soviet Communist Party to the highest level. Former British Prime Minister Fatty Chu came to the United States to give a speech, and Mr. Truman personally attended. Did you know about this?"

Joseph Clark was of course clear about the question raised by Fang Lang. After all, as a senior military general, he must be the first to grasp this kind of current news, which is related to the future direction of government policy.

He nodded unconsciously, but still didn't quite understand the business that Fang Lang was talking about.

Fang Lang saw the other person's expression, smiled, and continued to pretend:

"After I met General Marshall this time, we had a deep discussion about this matter. I gave him an idea, which was that the United States should intervene directly in the chaotic situation in European countries.

In order to completely eradicate the Soviet Union's influence in Europe, the US government must launch military intervention.

I think the US government should have already started discussing this matter, and there should be a definite result soon.”

Joseph Clark opened his mouth wide and looked at Fang Lang in surprise, and said in disbelief:

“You mean the US might send troops into these European countries to suppress the opposition in these countries by force?

If this is the case, can the governments of these countries accept such overreaching behavior by the US government? "

It seems that Americans during this period had not yet developed the character of the global village of later generations. They still had some bottom line in their hearts. Unfortunately, this bottom line was about to be broken under their own promotion.

At this moment, Fang Lang felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
