Marshall didn't mind this situation. After all, the United States is a capitalist society, and these wealthy capitalists in front of him are the real bosses. He is at most a high-level employee.
He knew very well that with him around, it would be inconvenient to discuss many business matters, so he took the initiative to speak:
“Now that Mr. Morgan and Mr. Rockefeller have made their move, I believe there will be no obstacles for Mr. Fang to acquire Caterpillar.
Please rest assured that I will never disclose this matter to anyone."
Fang Lang was very satisfied with Marshall's attitude. Although he had not yet officially taken office as Secretary of State, the company that Fang Lang wanted to acquire was part of the US defense industry.
And the Morgan family just agreed to sell Fang Lang shares in General Electric. This means that Fang Lang, as a Brazilian Chinese, has actually invested in two very important defense industry companies in the United States.
In addition, the other party is also one of the shareholders of Shata Company. Judging from today's discussions, they will definitely find ways to encourage the US government to intervene militarily in the European situation.
This will definitely involve the use of Shata Company. After all, Shata Company is now the only authorized seller of weapons in stock by the Ministry of Defense once the United States launches armed intervention in European countries.
The first step is definitely to provide the necessary weapons and equipment to the local government. It is unlikely to purchase new equipment and provide it to them. So the many weapons and equipment left over after the US’s large-scale disarmament will definitely be the first choice.
...
...
In this case, the importance of Shata Company will inevitably be highlighted, and Fang Lang's identity as the major shareholder of this company will of course be very prominent.
Wasn't Marshall aware of all this? Of course not, but the other party chose to ignore it and even offered to protect everyone's business secrets. In this case, Fang Lang had no choice but to accept the other party's favor.
"Haha...thank you, Mr. Marshall. By the way, if the acquisition of Caterpillar is successful, I may not have much time to manage this company in the United States.
I heard that Mr. Marshall's youngest daughter works in finance, I wonder if she would be interested in helping out in the new company?"
According to Fang Lang's investigation of Marshall, he loved his little daughter very much, but his little daughter did not get much convenience because of her father's identity.
She was just an ordinary housewife, married to a construction engineer, and lived the life of an ordinary American family, not particularly wealthy.
The job offered by Fang Lang was obviously not a simple one. In fact, it was to give some benefits to Marshall, the incoming Secretary of State.
Hearing Fang Lang's words, Marshall was stunned at first, but he reacted quickly. He looked at Morgan and Rockefeller with an unnatural look and found that everyone nodded at him with a smile on their faces, which made him feel a little relieved.
After hesitating for a while, Marshall didn't hesitate and nodded gratefully to Fang Lang.
"Then on behalf of Catherine, I would like to thank Mr. Fang."
"Haha... I should thank Mr. Marshall for training me an excellent talent."
Fang Lang reached out and took off the cigar that had been in his mouth, stood up and walked to Marshall, giving him a big hug. He looked at the big guys in the room and said:
"Now that we've almost come to an end, how about we all go down to the banquet hall and have a couple of drinks to celebrate?"
After hearing this, several people stood up without any hesitation. Eli Morgan even spoke directly:
"We should have a couple of drinks to celebrate. Besides, I brought my wife with me this time. If I leave her for too long, she'll nag me when I get back."
Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this, and no one cared whether what the other party said was true or false.
The main business has been discussed and a rough framework has been reached. Of course, everyone needs to go back and digest it carefully before continuing with more in-depth formal negotiations.
After all, the most important thing is the bank that provides loans for the project, and how to distribute the benefits has not yet begun to be discussed! Such a big thing cannot be explained in a few words, and it must be carefully negotiated by the management teams of each company.
Everyone walked out of this inconspicuous reception area, talking and laughing, knowing each other tacitly. No one knew that in just a short period of time, the conversation between a few people in this inconspicuous reception room had a profound impact on the future world situation.
Even without Fang Lang's reminder, Lao Du would definitely come up with the famous Lao Duism in the end, and start to act as the world policeman unscrupulously around the world, meddling in the internal affairs of other countries.
But now with Fang Lang's involvement, it is possible that Lao Du's doctrine will be released ahead of schedule, and it is unclear whether it is good or bad for the world.
In addition to inadvertently accelerating the process of US military armed intervention in the internal affairs of European countries, in fact, an invisible achievement was achieved in this small conference room.
That is to bring together the Morgan family, the Rockefeller family, Mr. Marshall, Fang Lang and others into a temporary group of allies.
Everyone tacitly agreed that while pushing for armed intervention by the White House, they must take the lead in seeking the greatest benefits for each party before the other parties could react.
The butler, Zorf Henry, who had been waiting at the door, heard the sound of the door opening and hurried forward to open the door of the reception room. After everyone had left the reception room, he gently closed the door and followed behind them, waiting for the master's call at any time.
Fang Lang turned to Zolph Henry and nodded:
"Zolf, tell Miss Lilith to bring a few Mrs. Morgans to the banquet hall. We'll go downstairs and have a couple of drinks first. Also, remember to notify Mr. Rockefeller's assistants."
Hearing this, Zolf Henry nodded quickly. In fact, Fang Lang didn't need to pay too much attention to this kind of thing, but those who came with Morgan and Rockefeller were all his guests, so he needed to treat them well.
Upon hearing this, Rockefeller laughed at Fang Lang and said:
"Don't worry about my assistants, just inform them. But you have to help Mr. Elly Morgan's wife come quickly, otherwise when Elly Morgan goes back to clean up, he will cause trouble for you. Haha..."
When everyone heard Rockefeller's joke, they all burst into laughter.
Of course, Eli Morgan didn't care about Rockefeller's ridicule. He and his group walked into the banquet hall chatting and laughing. When the guests in the banquet hall saw these big shots appear, they were immediately excited and came forward to greet them.
Vivian, who was accompanying herself and her sister's best friend in the banquet hall, saw Fang Lang coming out, and she squeezed forward and took Fang Lang's arm.
This made several people look sideways, but Fang Lang didn't care at all. He smiled and said to everyone:
"This is the younger sister of my girlfriend Lilith. You can call her Vivian."
Vivian also greeted everyone politely, looking well-behaved and cute.
When several people saw the intimate actions of the two, they would never believe that Vivian was just Lilith's sister. They all looked at Fang Lang with a playful look on their faces.
Mr. Eli Morgan, who was most familiar to Fang Lang, smiled playfully and said in a low voice:
"Fang, I think it's more than just my girlfriend's sister!"
After saying that, he did not forget to raise his eyebrows at Fang Lang, as if he had seen through everything.
Hearing this, Fang Lang smiled and patted Vivian's hand that was around his arm, and said to Avery Morgan:
"Okay! You discovered it. Vivian is also my girlfriend. She is currently studying fashion design in France. I plan to set up a fashion brand for her using her name.
I hope everyone will come and support us when the time comes.”
After hearing Fang Lang's words, Vivian, who had always seemed carefree, surprisingly blushed, and the hand that was holding Fang Lang's arm couldn't help but use a little more strength.
At the same time, she felt very happy that Fang Lang took the initiative to admit his identity to the outside world. After all, no one could want to exist as a lover.
It was for this reason that Fang Lang took the initiative to announce Vivian's identity in a small circle. As for asking everyone to support Vivian's clothing brand, it was just a casual remark.
After all, the people sitting here are not the ones who pay attention to the clothing brands they wear every day. Even Fang Lang's clothes are custom-made, let alone these big guys.
Ellie Morgan was just joking with Fang Lang. After all, this was not a serious occasion, and appropriate jokes would help everyone deepen their friendship.
Unexpectedly, Fang Lang actually admitted it directly, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
Seeing Vivian's expression, everyone understood Fang Lang's thoughts and showed signs of understanding.
Wan Chongxin, one of the organizers of the banquet, saw the boss and others coming down, and hurried forward and said to Fang Lang:
"Boss, I just talked to everyone and everyone said they wanted to meet you. I wonder if you would be able to come forward and talk to everyone."
It was obvious that the appearance of the two big bosses, Morgan and Rockefeller, made the big bosses attending the banquet curious about the mysterious boss of the new consortium, Global Group.
This was beyond Fang Lang's expectations. After hearing Wan Chongxin's words, he also understood that it would be a bit unreasonable not to say a few words at this time.
Therefore, he did not hesitate and nodded to Wan Chongxin:
"Okay, then I'll go up and say a few words and thank our partners."
After saying this, he nodded apologetically to the group of bigwigs who came out with him, and walked directly to the small stage in the banquet that was specially used for speeches.
With the sound of a few crisp champagne glasses being tapped, everyone's attention quickly turned to Fang Lang who was walking onto the stage. Looking at the crowd gathering below, Fang Lang smiled and spoke directly:
“Ladies and gentlemen, it is a great honor to invite you all to attend this thank-you dinner of our Global Group.
I am Fang Lang, the boss of Global Group, and I am very happy to meet you here.
Everyone sitting here is our Global Group’s most important partners. It is because of your presence over the past years that our Global Group has achieved what it has today.
Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to everyone here! "
There was warm applause from below. Fang Lang raised the champagne he had just received from the waiter and gestured to everyone from a distance.
After the applause died down, Fang Lang continued:
"In the new year, we will have new opportunities. We hope that everyone here will continue to support our Global Group's business as always. We believe that as our Global Group develops rapidly, we will also achieve a win-win situation for everyone."
Fang Lang's speech was not long. After all, he had not planned to speak on stage at first, so he just showed up temporarily. However, the suppliers who attended the banquet showed extraordinary enthusiasm for Fang Lang's appearance.
After finishing his speech, Fang Lang, who had just stepped down from the stage, was quickly surrounded by a crowd of people. People kept coming up to greet Fang Lang and handing him their business cards, forcing Fang Lang to stop and communicate with the bosses of various companies.
After the communication was over, time passed by unknowingly.
General Marshall was the first to bid farewell to Fang Lang, followed by several members of the Morgan family and Alvin Rockefeller.
As time passed, the guests finally left and Fang Lang felt exhausted. After all, being surrounded by a group of people and communicating constantly was very exhausting.
Just as he was hugging Lilith and Vivian and preparing to go back to his room to rest, the butler Zolph Henry rushed over and knocked on Fang Lang's door again.
"Boss, the three Mr. Morgans are back again."
Fang Lang was stunned by these words. He opened the door and looked at Zolph Henry outside and said:
"What time is it now?"
"One in the morning."
"What's going on? Didn't you just leave? Can't we talk about it tomorrow?"
Fang Lang muttered a few words in dissatisfaction, glanced at his butler and said:
"Where are they now?"
"I have arranged for someone to direct them to your reception room."
In fact, in his heart, Fang Lang already had some guesses. The thing that could make the three of them disregard time and come again must be the issue they were most concerned about, which was the specific regulations of the bank that provided loans to the highway company.
It’s not that Morgan’s own bank cannot conduct this business independently, but since the idea was proposed by Fang Lang, they must of course talk to Fang Lang.
As for the sudden counterattack at this time, Fang Lang guessed that he must want to reach a consensus with Fang Lang without Alvin Rockefeller being present.
In the eyes of the Morgan family, the threat posed by the Rockefeller family is obviously far greater than that posed by Fang Lang.
"Then you want someone to bring them tea. I'll change my clothes and come over."
Zolph Henry nodded quickly to show that he understood, then bowed and turned to leave.
Fang Lang returned to the room and gave a helpless bitter smile to the two beautiful women:
"It seems like I won't be able to sleep well tonight. You guys go to sleep first. I'll go see what these guys are up to."
Lilith and Vivian knew that Fang Lang was doing serious business, so they could only smile bitterly. Lilith said to Fang Lang while helping him find clothes:
"Do you need me to accompany you?"
Fang Lang shook his head. The reason they came back like this was to talk about some private matters, so you should not get involved.
Weiwei took the pajamas that Fang Lang took off and said:
"Then we'll wait for you to come back and sleep together!"
Today Fang Lang introduced herself to everyone as his girlfriend, which made her very happy, and she was going to perform well tonight!
Fang Lang knew exactly what his woman was thinking. He smiled and put his arm around her shoulders and said:
"We have a lot of time. You guys go to sleep today, and then no one will disturb us tomorrow."
