Tim Cotton is not even thirty years old and is a staunch supporter of President Vargas.
When the President announced the formation of the Labor Party, he joined the newly formed party without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, the presidential election, which was almost certain to win, turned out of control because of a farce caused by the Japanese.
Finally, the country was placed under emergency martial law.
The President was kidnapped by the Japanese.
After the situation was finally calmed down and the country resumed the election, President Vargas unexpectedly lost the election.
This was something he could not accept. He felt that the whole thing was the Japanese's fault. If it weren't for the occupation of the Presidential Palace initiated by the Japanese, the President would not have been injured.
He will not lose the presidency which is almost certain to win.
Fortunately, the President did not give up. The Labor Party found a new direction and began to look for the largest voter groups in the country, workers and farmers.
...
...
Facts have also proved that the President’s choice was correct.
Although the Labor Party lost the presidential election, its membership began to grow rapidly after the party shifted direction.
In particular, after the Labor Party learned from the CPSU and established trade union organizations.
The Labor Party's influence among the working class is growing rapidly, and judging from the current situation, Mr. Vargas will definitely be re-elected in the next presidential election.
But what he didn't know was that the Labour Party's learning was at best a copycat, capturing the form but not the spirit.
If the current situation continues to develop, the so-called trade union organization of the Labour Party will definitely become a new tool for the Labour Party’s top leaders to make money.
After all, 5 percent of each worker's monthly income as union dues is no small amount.
As for whether they can fulfill what they promised to the workers, they certainly don't have to worry about it.
After all, as long as President Vargas is re-elected as the President of Brazil, the government can use administrative orders to force the owners of each factory to carry out the orders.
This is also the confidence that their superiors in the party conveyed to them, and the reason why they dared to go to various factories, construction sites, and farms to publicize the ideas learned from the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
The bosses of various factories have always been very disgusted with their arrival, but they didn’t expect to meet an exception today.
“Hello Mr. Fang, my name is Tim Cotton, and I’m a Labor Party member of the Sao Paulo City Council.
You are really too kind. We are also considering the interests of our fellow workers.
I hope Mr. Fang will forgive me for the offense I caused today."
As the saying goes, a smiling face is not a good helper. Fang Lang's attitude is impeccable. He has provoked the other party many times, but the other party did not get angry. Instead, he took the initiative to come up and talk to him.
Of course, I also have to demonstrate the quality of a São Paulo City Council staff member and the magnanimity of a Labour Party member.
Fang Lang waved his hand indifferently:
"No, no, I really think what you said today is very good and correct.
Our factory has indeed neglected the interests and needs of the workers.
As a shareholder of the company, I will reflect seriously and come up with a practical solution to satisfy my fellow workers. "
Tim Cotton was obviously a little confused by Fang Lang's attitude, and could only nod and say:
"Mr. Fang, it's not too late for you to realize this now.
It is our common wish to satisfy our fellow workers. If there is anything I can help you with, please feel free to ask. "
The Labor Party is not the Soviet Communist Party, and Tim Cotton has never thought of completely offending the capitalists for the benefit of the workers. This is very unwise.
The previous provocation of Fang Lang was just a means, not an end.
Just like the Labour Party's efforts to win over workers, this is a means, not an end.
The Labour Party's real target is the votes of the broad masses of voters, including workers and farmers.
Fang Lang smiled and nodded:
“Mr. Cotton, please don’t worry!
If I need help, I will go to the City Council and ask for your help."
After saying this, he stopped arguing with the other party and turned to walk towards the experimental building.
This made Mr. Tim Cotton, who had originally wanted to get closer to Fang Lang and others, feel quite disappointed.
Seeing Fang Lang walking towards the experimental building, Borman quickly took the initiative to step forward and lead the way for his boss.
Fang Xinshan and Fang Lang walked side by side. Fang Xinshan looked at Fang Lang, who was still smiling, with some doubt and said:
"How are you going to deal with this union?"
Fang Lang turned his head and glanced at Fang Xinshan, who looked a little unhappy, and smiled and said:
"What's wrong? Haven't trade unions been established in other factories?
I didn’t see any reaction from you!”
“I didn’t know that this so-called trade union organization was specifically responsible for opposing us.
There are only a few people who have joined them now. If all the workers in the factory join this union, we will be in a very passive position.”
Fang Xinshan's tone became a little anxious.
In just two sentences, several people had entered the laboratory, and the laboratory staff were looking over at them.
Fang Lang whispered to Fang Xinshan:
"Dad, please be patient. Let's first take a good look at the results of everyone's hard work, and then slowly discuss how to solve the union's problem."
Fang Xinshan looked at the surrounding environment, nodded, and didn't say anything more.
Seeing that the two were no longer communicating, Pollman quickly stepped forward and introduced Fang Lang to the persons in charge of each experimental area and the specific research projects.
Fang Lang and others' visit was actually just a cursory one.
He focused on checking the new sound insulation and heat insulation materials that Pollman mentioned. Unfortunately, these things touched on Fang Lang's blind spots in knowledge. Fang Lang had indeed not conducted relevant research on advanced high-tech products for aircraft.
Fortunately, the laboratory staff are all true professionals, and they are absolutely high-end talents in this era. Fang Lang has always adhered to the principle of leaving professional matters to professionals.
Fang Lang only kept his eyes and ears throughout the process, and apart from expressing his appreciation for everyone's work, he didn't say much.
After seeing the comparative experiment of the new and old materials, Fang Lang nodded with satisfaction, fully affirmed the achievements made by everyone, and asked the legal department staff to seize the time to apply for technical patents for each new achievement.
Laboratory personnel who have achieved results will be given both financial and professional rewards.
“Polman, I am very satisfied with your enthusiasm for work and the results you have achieved.
However, I also found some problems.
You see, all of our technicians are from Germany, and there are not enough local technicians.
Once everyone gets older, there may be a gap in technical talent in our factory, which is very scary.
Therefore, I want to build a professional college near the factory to train talents for our aircraft manufacturing industry.
See if you can talk to Professor Tan Ke and others about taking some time out of work to go to school and attend classes to train a group of qualified successors for our factory.
At the same time, it can also allow everyone to earn more money! ”
Fang Lang began to conceive this idea after he thought of improving the cultural level of the Chinese people. After all, the talents in your factory are rare elites of this era.
It would be a waste if we don't make good use of it.
If there can be more Chinese faces in my aircraft manufacturing plant in the future, I will be considered a success.
Perhaps, at that time some Chinese will choose to return to their hometown to develop, which can be regarded as their contribution to the aviation industry of their hometown!
"Boss, what you said makes sense. Some time ago, someone told me that they were short of assistant researchers and that a lot of simple and repetitive tasks were wasting a lot of their time and energy.
We wanted to recruit some local personnel in Brazil, but we found that there were too few people who met our requirements.
I absolutely support your idea of running a school.
Don't worry, I will go talk to Professor Tan Ke and others right away and convince them to join this plan."
Fang Lang was very satisfied with Pollmann's attitude. He thought that Fang Lang had made the right choice in appointing the person in charge of this aircraft manufacturing plant.
"I won't be attending the opening ceremony tomorrow. We must hurry up and implement the school."
After giving a few more instructions, Fang Lang did not stay any longer as he had a dinner party to attend in downtown São Paulo.
On the way back to the city, Fang Xinshan couldn't help but ask Fang Lang:
"Why did you suddenly think of opening a school? If we don't have enough people, we can go out and recruit!
If Brazil doesn’t have it, Europe and America will definitely have it.”
“After all, the people we recruited are not our own people.
In fact, my real goal is to train a group of our own Chinese aircraft designers.
These design talents from Germany are real talents. It would be a waste if they are not utilized properly.
Moreover, we did not start manufacturing aircraft so quickly in the early stages, so we took the opportunity to train enough of our own people.
After two years when we have mastered a certain basic skill, we will start designing and manufacturing our own aircraft.
Our personal participation in design and manufacturing will accelerate our growth.
Once we Chinese can make outstanding contributions in such high-tech positions, our status in Brazil will rise, further expanding our influence in Brazil."
Regarding finding ways to expand the influence of the Chinese in Brazil, the father and son had a tacit understanding, so Fang Xinshan said directly:
“Then I will immediately ask my subordinates to start the planning and construction of the school and strive to complete the construction of the school as soon as possible.
Some young people with a certain foundation in mathematics, physics and chemistry were selected from immigrants and workers to study in school.
Do you think these Germans will be willing to teach their real skills to students when the time comes?"
Fang Lang stared at the receding scenery on the roadside and said in a firm tone:
“If they are unwilling to teach seriously, we can just let these students follow them and observe and learn. They will always be able to figure out some tricks, right?
We can also spend a lot of money to hire some professional scholars and professors from abroad to teach in our schools. By then, we will definitely cultivate enough talents in mathematics, physics and chemistry for our use.
We must never be stingy when it comes to investment in education. It takes ten years to grow a tree and a hundred years to cultivate a person.
I believe our investment will not be in vain.”
Fang Xinshan also nodded firmly.
The two looked at the scenery outside the window, each lost in thought.
After a while, Fang Xinshan said:
“Are you going to communicate with Mayor Scalia about the union?”
Fang Lang shook his head.
“The union’s affairs are not that simple. We cannot take tough measures, and the government cannot take coercive measures.
After all, this is the campaign tactic of the Workers' Party, one of Brazil's three major parties.
If we take a tough stance, we will completely offend the Labour Party, which is very unwise considering the current momentum of the Labour Party. "
“But if we let them continue to develop like this, we will become very passive.
As long as they can really make a breakthrough from one factory and force a factory owner to make concessions, their scale will surely expand rapidly, and then we will be in trouble."
