Fang Lang did not expect his father's thinking to change so quickly. He was just worried about the threat from the union, but now he immediately thought of using the union to control the workers' thoughts.
He smiled and said:
“In fact, if the union is well managed, it can have a big effect.
During state or presidential elections, if we can use the union to guide the workers’ votes, then I think any political party will have to pay attention to the influence of our Fangyuan Group!"
Hearing Fang Lang's words, Fang Xinshan's eyes widened with an incredible expression.
If this is true, then in the future as Fangyuan Group grows bigger and more and more workers are employed in its factories, the president will have to show more courtesy to Fangyuan Group.
Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, the father and son had been chatting in the office for the entire afternoon.
Fang Xinshan listed the company's organizational structure one by one. Fang Lang rebuilt a complete and strict organizational structure for Fangyuan Group based on the management methods of some large group companies he learned from later generations.
Ten operating departments were established mainly based on the fields to which each enterprise belongs, such as machinery, agriculture, mining, steel, military industry, real estate, media, finance, pharmaceuticals, and daily chemicals.
...
...
The relevant industries will be placed under the management of the director of the operations department, and the operations director will be responsible for the operations of all subordinate subsidiaries.
In order to prevent the operations director from having too much power, a financial risk control department was set up in the group company to be responsible for supervising the group company's finances and auditing the company's accounts on time.
The authority to appoint the financial directors of each subsidiary is also vested in the Finance and Control Department.
A Human Resources Department was established to manage the human resources department of the entire group and has the authority to appoint and dismiss the human resources directors of each subsidiary.
At the same time, he is responsible for the appointment and removal of personnel at the vice president and above positions in each subsidiary of the group company.
The newly established Group Investigation Department, Labor Union and Security Department will be separately managed by the Group Company.
Although this organizational structure still has problems of one kind or another, and may even affect the company's business development, it can also enable the group company to strengthen its control over its subsidiaries.
From the very beginning, Fang Lang had made it clear to his father that this structure was not static, but needed to be adjusted in a timely manner according to actual conditions in order to adapt to the trend of the times.
The main purpose of adjusting the company's organizational structure this time is to change the company's current chaotic management situation and make the company a formal group company.
By the time the father and son left the group company, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
Fang Lang walked out of the company gate and followed the dim light to unexpectedly discover that there was a police duty booth on the side of the road outside the company.
This was somewhat beyond Fang Lang's expectations. He turned around and asked his father:
"Is this police box already there?"
Fang Xinshan looked at the sentry box not far away and thought for a while before saying:
"It seems that it was established about half a month after our company moved here! I don't remember the details, what's the matter."
Fang Lang carefully looked at this new-looking booth and something moved his mind.
I thought of Mr. Sebastiao Hodges, the chief of the Sao Paulo Police Department, and as I looked at the two policemen on duty in the booth, I had a flash of enlightenment.
No wonder the company has been here for so long, even without security, and yet no one comes to harass us.
Fang Lang thought that the local gang had changed its nature!
It seems that this is Chief Hodges, who is helping me to look after my property!
My father was still confused and didn't know what was going on.
He smiled and said:
“I finally understand why our company has been able to operate safely for so long without even having security guards.
It seems that I owe Chief Hodges a big favor!"
When Fang Xinshan heard Fang Lang's words, he glanced at the police booth not far away and instantly understood what was going on.
Somewhat embarrassedly said:
"Then we must thank Chief Hodges very much. How about inviting him to our home for dinner tomorrow?"
Fang Lang shook his head helplessly and said:
"I'm going to leave for America tomorrow. How about this! You can treat the other party to a meal in your own name first.
Tell him that I will come to thank him in person next time I return to Sao Paulo."
Fang Xinshan nodded, opened the car door, got in and said:
"That's fine. To be honest, I haven't dealt with Chief Hodges yet! This really shouldn't happen."
Fang Lang also got into the car and signaled to the guard in front that he could drive.
"Then you can treat him to a meal. I believe he won't refuse.
My friendship with him is my friendship with him, but we still have to observe the proper courtesies.
When the time comes, we will wait for the Porsche factory in Sao Paulo to send a car to Chief Hodges after the car rolls off the assembly line, and ask him to help test it."
Fang Xinshan nodded, agreeing with his son's statement.
The two of them talked and laughed all the way home.
What Fang Lang didn't know was that just as they left the group company's office building, a person picked up the phone in a room on the third floor of a hotel not far away.
After the call was connected, he said something.
"The target has left. There are five cars in total, with seventeen people including guards and drivers. The target is in the middle car."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
When all this happened, Fang Lang's attention was drawn to the police duty booth and he was not paying attention to the surrounding environment.
But just as the convoy was about to enter the village, Fang Lang suddenly felt a warning in his heart. He quickly looked out the window and found that he could not see anything in the dark night.
However, there were danger warnings from both sides of the road ahead, which were very similar to what we encountered in the United States.
Without time to think, Fang Lang said quickly:
"Enemy attack! Alert!"
This time Fang Lang discovered the danger later than the last time in New York, which may be related to the fact that he returned to his hometown and relaxed his vigilance.
My attention was focused on the conversation with my father, and I didn't receive any warning information at all this time.
He didn't know that someone in his hometown of São Paulo actually wanted to harm him.
Fortunately, the guards knew what had happened in New York and had a response plan.
The vehicle Fang Lang was riding in slowed down immediately, turned on the hazard lights and continuously switched between high and low beams.
The other vehicles in the convoy responded the moment they received the signal.
The lead vehicle fired two flares directly to both sides of the road.
In an instant, the originally dark roadside became as bright as day, and the enemies hidden in the farmlands on both sides were directly exposed to the light of the flares.
Fang Lang took a look and fortunately the convoy had not completely entered the ambush circle. Only the lead car and the second car had just entered the ambush circle.
Just when the enemy was still somewhat at a loss because of the sudden change of the convoy, they all turned their eyes to the commander-in-chief of the operation in the dark.
Two gunshots were heard from the lead car.
The commander-in-chief of the ambush operation thought that it was his own people who opened fire in advance. He was furious and wanted to see who was the bastard who opened fire before the enemy even entered the ambush circle.
Then I found that the surrounding environment suddenly became clearly visible.
Before I could figure out what was going on, I heard the sound of shooting like firecrackers.
It turned out that the firepower from the first two vehicles in the convoy began shooting at the targets in sight the moment the flares lit up.
When the vehicle in front started shooting, the rear vehicle in the convoy had already started to reverse and simultaneously fired two flares to the rear.
After finding nothing unusual behind him, he did a drift and turned the front of the car backwards.
The second-to-last car and the middle car in which Fang Lang was riding also began to move backward rapidly.
The lead car and the second car were already turning the steering wheel while reversing.
In just a moment, the ambushers suffered three casualties, and those who reacted also raised their guns and fired.
The reversing convoy was soon attacked by enemy fire.
Especially the first and second cars are given special attention.
Because there were only these two vehicles firing outward, the ambushers' first reaction was to shoot at them.
Soon, the person in charge of command reacted and cursed:
“Idiot, hit the vehicle in the middle, our target is in the middle.
Don't bother with these guards."
But he reacted too late, the vehicle Fang Lang was riding in had already retreated a hundred meters away.
In the dark night, it is almost impossible to directly attack a target inside a vehicle a hundred meters away.
More importantly, they are only the team responsible for attacking from the rear, and there are not many of them.
Most of the people responsible for the ambush were now quickly gathering towards the area where the fighting was taking place.
At this time in the village, Qi Qingshan, who had just taken a shower, was chatting with his family in shorts.
Suddenly I heard gunshots coming from the village entrance. I looked up reflexively and saw two flares lit up in the distance.
He immediately realized that something was wrong and quickly stood up and rushed into the room to get his weapon.
Soon, the sound of gunfire like popping beans was heard.
Qi Qingshan, who had just received the weapon, rushed out of the house and shouted:
"The commander is under attack. Everyone, take up your weapons and follow me."
The guard platoon responsible for protecting Fang Lang had a total of thirty-six people. In addition to the personnel responsible for protecting Fang Lang, there were nineteen soldiers from the guard platoon who were resting in other residents' homes in the village.
The moment the gunshots rang out, everyone grabbed their weapons and equipment and started running outside.
About ten people soon gathered around Qi Qingshan as he was running.
Such a loud noise naturally alarmed other people in the village. At first, no one understood what was going on.
But with the actions of Qi Qingshan and others, everyone understood that someone was attacking Fang Lang.
Many people in the village now work for Fangyuan Group, and as it was the only Chinese village in Brazil, everyone is united.
The villagers also picked up weapons from their homes and followed.
For a moment, on the way out of the village, I felt as if an arrow had pierced the clouds and thousands of troops were coming to meet me.
The people responsible for ambushing Fang Lang had already arranged people to block the reinforcements from the village.
But Fang Lang's team discovered the abnormal situation in advance, which disrupted the original plan.
The people responsible for blocking the reinforcements were also unsure at this moment and didn't know what the ambush situation would be like.
At this moment, the convoy Fang Lang was in had already retreated to a safe area.
Fang Xinshan didn't understand what was happening until the gunshots rang out.
After all, I had never experienced such a situation, and at this moment my heart was beating in my throat.
After finally seeing the vehicle leave the danger zone, he recovered and looked at Fang Lang beside him in panic and said:
"Lang'er, what's going on?"
Fang Lang was carefully observing the surrounding environment at this time and found that there was no danger along the way.
Turning around, I saw my father with a panicked look on his face and said:
"Dad! Don't worry, someone ambushed us at the entrance of the village, but we discovered it in advance, and their plan failed."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at car number one and car number two which had not caught up.
I made up my mind and said to the driver:
"We have to go back. We can't leave the brothers in the car ahead behind."
The driver shook his head and said:
"Sir, your safety is the most important thing. We are the guard platoon and our job is to ensure your safety. Attacking the enemy is not our mission."
