Chapter 224 Iron Curtain



Global Group Corporate Office in New York, USA.

"Boss, you finally remembered that you still have a company in New York, right?"

Miss Ophelia Berg complained to Fang Lang.

Fang Lang is quite tolerant towards his beautiful assistant who looks like Nicole Kidman. Perhaps this is the privilege of beauty!

Fang Lang smiled and shook his head. He patted the sofa beside him and motioned for the other party to sit down. He said:

"Well, isn't it just that I didn't take you with me to Europe?

What's more important, work or play? How's the acquisition of Richfield Oil Exploration Company going? "

When Ophelia Berg saw the boss's gesture, she hesitated for a moment, but still chose to obediently sit next to the boss.

He took out a copy of the thick stack of documents and handed it to Fang Lang, saying with a speechless expression:

...

...

"Boss, don't you even read the report I sent you?

The Richfield Oil Exploration Company acquisition was already completed.

But the company is not doing well right now, and the former general manager, Mr. Reyer, has been staying in New York and wants to meet with you."

Fang Lang took the document handed over by Miss Ophelia Berg and flipped through it casually, as if he did not notice Miss Ophelia Berg's hesitant expression.

"Oh! Do you have any information about Mr. Reyer? You said the company is not doing well right now. What exactly is wrong with it?"

As she watched the young boss flipping through the documents, the sunlight outside the window shone on the boss's face and the documents, as if the whole person began to glow. For a moment, Miss Ophelia Berg was a little dazed.

The more familiar Miss Ophelia Berg became with the business of the Global Group, the more she realized how outstanding the man in front of her was.

Think about how long it took to build Universal Group from scratch and how big it has grown to.

No wonder the Morgan family in the United States wants to make friends with the boss.

“Boss, the information about this Mr. Reyer is in the information you have. As far as I know, this Mr. Reyer is an employee who started a business with old Mr. Richfield.

He holds a high reputation in the company, and the company has been maintained by him since the death of old Mr. Richfield.

I heard that Mr. Morgan once invited him to work at Morgan Stanley.

However, Mr. Reyer refused.

As for the company’s biggest problem now, it is actually that it has invested all its funds in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. As a result, it has gained nothing from this place so far.

Eventually, all the company's liquid capital was filled up, which is why this company became a high-risk company.

I have read the information of this company. In fact, its oil wells in Texas are still producing crude oil continuously as long as it can pay off its debts and abandon its exploration projects in Alaska.

This company still has a chance to grow stronger.”

When Fang Lang heard Miss Ophelia Berg say that Mr. Morgan had recruited Mr. Reyer, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but pull out Mr. Reyer's information and read it carefully.

Unfortunately, according to the information, General Manager Reyer has only been working in this company and does not have any particularly outstanding resume.

Fang Lang couldn't tell from this information what exactly made Reyer so outstanding.

It seems necessary to meet with General Manager Reyer.

Unexpectedly, Miss Ophelia Berg would actually suggest him to abandon the oil exploration project in Prudhoe Bay. Fang Lang couldn't help but smile and said nothing more.

It can be seen from here that many people in the outside world now share the same view as Miss Ophelia Berg.

Although Fang Lang didn't know whether this oil field was ultimately discovered by Richfield Company, he was very sure that Prudhoe Bay was a large oil field that had been proven by history.

I went there just for this project, so how could I give up?

"Please help me make an appointment with Mr. Morgan and see if he is free tonight so that we can have dinner together.

Since this Reyer is in New York, please tell him to come to the company to see me at 2 o'clock this afternoon."

Miss Ophelia Berg heard Fang Lang's instructions and nodded to show that she understood.

He stood up and placed the stack of documents in his hand on the large desk in the office, and said to Fang Lang:

“Okay, then I’ll go make an appointment with Mr. Morgan’s assistant and notify Mr. Reyer.

Here are some documents that Global Group’s subsidiaries need your signature for in recent times.

Please take some time to review it. "

Fang Lang felt a headache when he saw Miss Ophelia Berg standing by the desk, pointing at a thick stack of documents.

Fortunately, the girl's graceful figure easily attracted Fang Lang's attention.

It relieved his headache to a certain extent. It seems that later studies have shown that beautiful women can make people happy, which is indeed very reasonable.

As Fang Lang was looking at it, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen his girlfriend Lilith for a long time. No wonder his concentration had been so poor recently.

Whenever there's a little girl hanging around in front of me, I seem to lose control.

This won’t do. After thinking for a while, he said:

"Miss Ophelia Berg, after you finish the call, please go to the Department of Medicine at Radcliffe College in Boston and pick up my girlfriend for me."

"Ah! Should I go pick up your girlfriend for you?"

The assistant lady obviously did not expect that Fang Lang would suddenly assign such a task.

The last time he had dinner with Mr. Morgan, Fang Lang had already generously admitted that he had a girlfriend.

But he didn't expect that he would ask her to pick up his girlfriend today. For some reason, Ophelia Berg suddenly felt unhappy for no reason.

He himself didn't know what kind of mentality was at work, he just wanted to see what the other person was like.

Don't want to see each other.

This contradictory mentality made her feel mixed emotions for a moment.

Seeing the other person's constantly changing expression, Fang Lang thought to himself that women have a lot of inner drama.

"Why are you afraid that my girlfriend will bully you? Don't worry!

She has a good personality. As a sister, you have to take good care of her, okay?"

Hearing Fang Lang say that I am his girlfriend's sister, doesn't this mean that I am older?

How could a woman bear this, especially Ophelia Berg, who was very confident in her beauty.

Now when I hear people referring to me as old, I get so angry that my teeth itch.

Stamping his feet, he said:

"Just answer it. I want to see how beautiful your girlfriend is."

Fang Lang saw the other party's arrogant expression and smiled:

"Let me tell you, my girlfriend is as pretty as you!"

When Miss Ophelia Berg heard this, she thought Fang Lang meant that his girlfriend was prettier than her, and she immediately felt unhappy.

She is very confident about her appearance, and she really doesn't believe that there is someone more beautiful than her.

But if you think about it carefully, it's not right! What he said is that his girlfriend is as beautiful as himself!

Isn't this just praising yourself for being beautiful?

This sounds much more pleasant to the ears!

I don’t know why, but I felt a little happy in my heart, and my little face felt a little hot.

I also began to wonder if my boss’ girlfriend was really beautiful.

He cleared his throat to calm himself down, then pretended nothing had happened:

"Oh! Ok, what's your girlfriend's name? Do you have her phone number?"

Fang Lang had no idea what the little girl was thinking, nor did he care too much.

When it comes to emotional matters, Fang Lang's principle has always been to go with the flow, neither forcing nor refusing.

According to the standards of later generations, he is a complete scumbag, which is also related to his identity as a seaman. He did not have a family in his previous life.

After all, as a seaman, he spends most of the year at sea. If he gets married, he won't have time to accompany his wife, and she will definitely not want to live with him as a widow.

If I don't stay a widow, I will definitely have to wear a hat.

His colleagues have more or less conveyed these views to him, which has prevented him from having a stable relationship.

Instead, it allowed him to experience the customs and cultures of various countries around the world, and he often had physical conflicts with girls from all over the world.

It allows him to always maintain a laissez-faire attitude towards women, and sometimes even habitually exposes his ** nature in the future.

Fortunately, my identity is different in this life and I don’t have to wander around on a ship anymore.

Therefore, he still cherishes Miss Lilith very much. Of course, Vivian is also very good.

Unfortunately, Vivian is now studying fashion in France, and I don’t have time to visit her.

"Her name is Lilith Coburn, an Italian girl, now studying medicine at Radcliffe College.

I will call her and I will leave her phone number with you later."

After saying that, he found a pen and paper on the desk and wrote down the phone number of Lilith's school to assistant Ophelia Berg.

Ophelia Berg took a look at the phone number Fang Lang handed over, and without saying anything more to Fang Lang, she left Fang Lang's office without looking back.

Fang Lang didn't care about his assistant's impolite behavior.

I moved to my desk and began to deal with the backlog of documents seriously.

Through these documents that required Fang Lang's signature and review, Fang Lang quickly had a clear understanding of the company's development.

Since Global Trade established ties with the military and founded Shata Trading Company, its position in the business world has begun to change significantly.

It actually won bidding orders from many European countries, with the largest number of orders coming from the Allied Powers such as Britain and France. After all, as the victorious countries, the Allied Powers did not have to be sanctioned.

The economic recovery was also very fast, as were daily necessities such as grain, oil, cloth, salt and condiments.

The demand for infrastructure materials such as steel, cement, etc. is huge.

Global Trade made a lot of money for a while, and what surprised Fang Lang was that there were orders from the Soviet Union.

However, the Soviet Union mainly ordered mechanical equipment.

It seems that the Soviet Union’s gains in Germany did not fill its stomach!

Then Fang Lang calculated the time and was stunned. It was already April 1946.

In other words, former British Prime Minister Churchill had delivered his famous "Iron Curtain Speech" in the United States.

It looks like the prelude to the Cold War is about to begin!

It seems that we must hurry up to complete the orders with the Soviet Union, otherwise when the Cold War begins, it will be dangerous if these orders are not completed.

His identity in his previous life determined his attitude towards the Soviet Union.

Although I can’t say that I like it very much, I definitely don’t dislike it as much as the Americans do.

The reason why they were not very fond of each other was that the other side split Mongolia and fought a war on Sakhalin Island.

It is very simple to say that I am not disgusted. Without the assistance of Big Brother, my hometown would not have the complete industrial system it later had.

Of course, these things were not given for free. My family in my hometown also tightened their belts to buy them.
