Scalia looked at Fang Lang, who was smiling across from him, and wanted to spit in his face.
He is very rude when it comes to taking benefits, and starts interrupting me as soon as I want to make a request.
He smiled helplessly and said:
"Fang, don't get me wrong, I have no intention of intervening in the Fangyuan Group's labor union.
I am also very clear about Fangyuan Group’s position and I agree with it.
However, I think you are also well aware that the Fangyuan Group Union is a very large organization.
Politically, he has unparalleled influence.
Whether it is our National Alliance, the Social Democratic Party, or the Labour Party that founded the trade unions, we are all very concerned about this force.
Especially your Fangyuan Group, which has nearly 100,000 workers in Sao Paulo alone.
...
...
You attach great importance to improving the quality of workers and have set up many night schools and training classes in the factory. The number of illiterate workers is gradually decreasing.
And our electoral system in Brazil determines that this will be a huge voting base.
Do you understand what I mean? ”
Fang Lang thought, do you still need to remind me of this?
If it weren't for the goal of giving these workers the right to vote, was I crazy to spend so much energy setting up training courses and night schools?
“Mr. Mayor, please rest assured that we are friends.
I can promise you this now, during the election period.
Group unions can specifically organize workers to participate in your organization's election campaigns.
As for whether you can convince the workers to cast their votes for your candidates, that depends on your ability. ”
Although Fang Lang's answer was slightly different from what Mayor Scalia had in mind, it was not a complete failure.
It was well worth the trip to have an opportunity to canvass for votes directly from the voters.
As for whether Fang Lang would organize workers to participate in the election campaigns of other parties, that was beyond his control.
This is the other party's freedom and the right of the voters.
The Fangyuan Group also has no right to force voters to participate only in their National Alliance's election campaign.
Although Mayor Scalia was somewhat disappointed, as a mature politician he could not show it.
Instead, he said with a smile:
“That’s really great.
Fang, on behalf of our National Alliance, I would like to express my gratitude to your Fangyuan Group. ”
Fang Lang smiled and glanced at his cousin Yang Gan, who had been sitting behind the sofa, as if accidentally.
"Haha... Mr. Mayor, you don't have to be so polite.
Our Fang family and your National League are one family. ”
Mayor Scalia, who was originally a little disappointed, noticed Fang Lang's eyes and was delighted.
He laughed and said:
"Yes, yes, we are a family.
Haha...we are a family! ”
It seems that this trick of finding a secretary is really very useful!
Mayor Scalia thought to himself with pride.
"If you need any help, please feel free to ask.
We are all family, and we should help each other. ”
Mayor Scalia continued to repeat.
Fang Lang recalled the hospital plan he had just discussed with his father, and laughed:
“Mr. Mayor, since we are a family, I will not let you suffer any loss.
Let’s do this! I know that public health resources in Sao Paulo are very scarce.
In order to repay the mayor for his care for me and my father, our Fangyuan Group can invest heavily in São Paulo to build a large comprehensive hospital. ”
Mayor Scalia was obviously caught off guard by Fang Lang's unconventional operation. Aren't we discussing unions and votes?
Why do you suddenly want to throw money at me?
As the second largest city in Brazil, Sao Paulo certainly has hospitals.
The mayor is also very clear about the role of hospitals. It is a very important part of a city's public health.
Although the investment in building a hospital now is far less than that in the future.
But this is indeed a real political achievement.
Especially if the hospital is strong enough, it can improve the happiness index of citizens.
Of course, there is no such thing as a happiness index yet.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t know what the happiness index is. Just know that during my term of office, I added a large hospital in São Paulo for the health of the citizens.
It's enough for me to brag about it.
"Oh! That's great. On behalf of the municipal government, I would like to extend a warm welcome.
Tomorrow I will ask the department responsible for public health to come and discuss the construction of the hospital with your company.
Please rest assured that our municipal government will give the greatest discounts when it comes to the construction land for the hospital. ”
In fact, when Fang Lang stated that the Fang family and himself were one family, he was already satisfied.
Now Fangyuan Group's additional investment in a large hospital is an unexpected bonus that is the icing on the cake.
Scalia was very satisfied with what he had gained today by lowering his profile and rushing to Fangyuan Group.
Fang Xinshan knew Fang Lang's purpose of building the hospital, but he didn't expect that his own son would use it as support for the municipal government.
This really kills two birds with one stone!
I couldn't help but give my son a thumbs up in my heart.
After discussing the hospital issue, Fang Lang asked casually:
“I wonder if Mr. Mayor is familiar with insurance companies in Brazil and if you can recommend me an insurance company that is relatively large and powerful.
I have a business matter I would like to discuss with him. ”
Scalia looked at Fang Lang in surprise, then said:
“Of course, we have the largest Umay Insurance in Brazil in Sao Paulo, and their boss, Javid Umay, and I am very good friends.
If you need anything, I can help you contact him now. ”
Fang Lang smiled and nodded:
"My schedule is tight. I have to go to Rio de Janeiro tomorrow. Can you help me arrange a meeting with the other party today?"
Mayor Scalia said very straightforwardly:
"No problem, I'll call him now."
After saying that, he went straight to the desk, picked up the phone and dialed.
After a brief chat, he came back and said to Fang Lang:
"Fang, I have already made an appointment with the other party. How about he come over here for the meeting now?"
Fang Lang shrugged indifferently and said:
"Of course, that would be wonderful."
Scalia was not very clear about what Fang Lang was thinking and thought that he wanted to discuss cooperation with the insurance company after the hospital was established.
The other party came over very quickly. After all, since it was the business introduced by the mayor, we still had to maintain minimum respect.
Under the guidance of the staff, Javid Yumai entered the office of Fangyuan Group and was stunned when he saw several people in the office.
He was not familiar with the situation of Fangyuan Group, but he knew that Fangyuan Group was a powerful industrial group that had been gaining popularity in Brazil recently.
When I entered the company, I saw soldiers standing guard outside and I didn't understand what was going on for a moment.
But when I entered the office, I was stunned to find that there was an officer in a major general's uniform sitting in the conference room.
It's not that I'm afraid, I just don't understand why I was called here to discuss business and why there is a general here.
Fortunately, as soon as Mayor Scalia saw him, he stood up and said to everyone in the office:
"Hahaha...Javed my friend, come in quickly."
After that, he said to everyone in the office:
"Let me introduce you to everyone. This is Javed Yumai, the owner of Yumai Insurance Company."
Everyone stood up and greeted.
Scalia then introduced everyone in the office to Mr. Yumay.
After everyone took their seats as host and guest.
Javid Umai is a rare middle-aged mixed-race man, a very rare type among the Brazilian elite, which is now mainly composed of white people.
Before Fang Lang and others could speak, You Mai spoke.
"Mr. Fang, good afternoon!
Thank you for your trust in Umed.
I don't know how we can help you! ”
You Mai didn’t know much about Fangyuan Group, so he asked this question to Fang Xinshan.
In fact, Fang Xinshan was not clear about Fang Lang's thoughts, nor did he quite understand why Fang Lang did this.
So, he smiled and shook his head:
“Actually, it’s my son who wants to consult you about something.
So, you should ask him! ”
Fang Lang looked at the somewhat embarrassed Javid Yumai, smiled and said directly:
“Haha… Don’t mind, Mr. Yumai, since you are Scalia’s friend, you are my friend.
The main reason I came to you today is that I want to consult you, if our company's employees pay 42 Cruzeiros per month, can they purchase a medical insurance in your company? ”
Hearing Fang Lang's words, Javid Yumai was stunned and said in surprise:
"Wait a minute. Let me do the math. If I pay 42 Cruzeiros a month, then a year is..."
As he spoke, he pulled out a notebook from his suit pocket and prepared to start calculating.
Seeing this, Fang Lang gently reminded:
"42 Cruzeiros a month, that's 504 Cruzeiros a year."
When Javid Yumai heard Fang Lang's words, he looked up at Fang Lang in surprise, as if he couldn't believe how he could calculate so quickly.
But he didn't ask, but shook his head and said:
“Mr. Fang, if you only have 504 Cruzeiros a year, we may not be able to provide coverage.
Our company's basic medical insurance program requires a minimum annual payment of 1,000 Cruzeiros. ”
Fang Lang calculated silently in his mind that 1,000 Cruzeiros was approximately 54 US dollars, which was no small amount.
Judging by the value of the dollar at that time, this medical insurance was really not something that ordinary people could afford.
This is equivalent to a worker having to spend one-third of his annual salary to buy the most basic medical insurance.
Fang Lang knew without asking that this most basic medical insurance might only cover the treatment of a headache or fever.
Of course, in this age when colds and fevers can be fatal, being able to cure headaches and fevers has already solved the medical needs of most people.
This medical insurance certainly does not include the use of expensive drugs such as penicillin.
But Fang Lang believes that he can provide such basic medical insurance to the factory employees and make the workers grateful.
“What if we offer it to 100,000 people at the same time?”
According to the current average wage level of factory workers, asking each person to take out 14 Cruzeiros from his or her salary every month is already the limit.
If the factory were asked to come up with more money for subsidies, it would definitely not be realistic, because Fang Lang was not here to do charity.
Therefore, the only way was to use the huge amount of insurance coverage to intimidate Javed Yumai and see if he could impress him.
When Javed Yumai heard this number, his brain suddenly went blank.
This number is greater than the total number of their company’s current customers.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't moved.
But Javed Yumai's reason still forced him to suppress the urge to agree immediately.
Pick up your notebook and continue calculating.
