Fang Lang knew clearly that even if he did not participate in this matter, it would soon be pushed forward by other people. Therefore, instead of feeling sorry for himself, he might as well take the opportunity to gain greater benefits for himself first.
After taking out the fair cup and filling Joseph Clark with a cup of tea, Fang Lang slowly spoke:
“Today’s society is still a capitalist society, and governments are capitalist governments, and they also need to safeguard the interests of the bourgeoisie.
If the US government can come forward to help them stabilize the local political situation and solve the problem of food and clothing for the local people, then the US's usurpatory behavior will seem less important.
Even when the local government is unable to resist, the US government can take the initiative to step forward and help them solve the problem. I don’t think they will think this is an act of usurpation, but rather welcome it, right? ”
These words made Joseph Clark fall into deep thought, and he soon realized that if it was really as Fang Lang said, these governments might wish that the US government would come out to help them immediately!
“But, what does this have to do with what you said about General Marshall introducing us to business?
The White House should send the US military to carry out this kind of thing directly!"
Fang Lang smiled and said:
...
...
"Direct involvement of the US military is certainly a good option. But this would appear too politically charged.
However, if the US Department of Defense or the local European government hires some professional military consultants or mercenaries from a military contracting company with sufficient strength.
Do you still feel that this is an overstepping of authority to carry out the plan to combat the armed opposition forces? Do you feel that this is the U.S. government interfering in the internal affairs of the local government?"
Joseph Clark's eyes widened upon hearing this, with a look of shock on his face. But soon his shock turned into excitement, and he slapped his thigh, stood up from his chair, and said to Fang Lang with excitement:
"Oh my god! This... this... this is a really huge business! Boss, you are a fucking genius."
Looking at Joseph Clark who was already somewhat incoherent, Fang Lang smiled reservedly, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and slowly put it down.
In fact, the reason why Fang Lang mentioned this business to Joseph Clark was that he thought of it inadvertently during his reflection over the past few days.
After all, his words may have promoted the emergence of Lao Duism in advance, although this could bring him huge benefits. But the souls from later generations are still unwilling to let Americans immediately taste the taste of being the world police, and later, they became more unscrupulous.
So, he came up with the plan of hiring a military contracting company, which would not only allow his military contracting company to develop rapidly but also allow him to make more money.
At the same time, it can also prevent the US government from sending troops directly. If the US government does not send troops directly, then does it not need to build so many military bases in European countries?
If the United States could have fewer military bases deployed around the world, would it significantly weaken its political influence?
Of course, his company alone might not be able to take on such a large order, and his background also meant that the US government would not absolutely trust him.
But what does it matter? At least they can make a lot of money from the US interference and reduce the US political influence.
Another benefit of turning this government's military behavior into a commercial behavior is that even if military contracting companies need to establish some military bases during the operation.
This kind of company military base and government military base are two completely different concepts. Once the governments regain control of the situation, they will definitely not allow these companies to have such a military base on their own territory.
For the sake of their own profits, the company will not maintain the operation of a military base that they do not need for a long time. After the mission is completed, they will definitely take the initiative to cancel these bases.
In this way, will the number of military bases commonly seen throughout the United States be greatly reduced in the future?
In other words, if Fang Lang carried out his plan, he might have turned the military action launched by the US government to contain the Soviet Union into a military action to contain US hegemony.
Of course, this containment is invisible. After all, no one in the current US government knows that after the implementation of Duterte's Doctrine, the US-Soviet hegemony will allow the United States to have so many military bases around the world.
All of this is a secret that only Fang Lang knows, and it must not be shared with anyone else. Seeing Joseph Clark's face flushed, he was so excited that he could hardly control himself.
Fang Lang pressed his hand and gestured with a smile:
"This is just an idea of mine, and its realization still depends on your efforts.
That's why I asked you to hire some influential people among retired American generals to serve as consultants for the company.
With these people coming forward to help us lobby the government, we will be able to take over this huge business. As for how much money we need to invest in the early stage, it is not a problem. As long as we can get this business, our efforts will be rewarded a thousand times. "
After Fang Lang stated that funding was not a problem, Joseph Clark seemed more confident and spoke without hesitation:
"Boss, I understand your idea!
I think this is very feasible. Please rest assured that I will do my best to win this business. "
Fang Lang smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood.
General Joseph Clark seemed to be greatly stimulated. He finally managed to control his emotions and stood up and said to Fang Lang:
"Boss, I'll go down first!"
Seeing that the other party really had no intention of talking to him about his nephew Charlie Cole, Fang Lang felt a little strange. Now that he had given such an important matter to the other party, of course he had to untie the knot in his heart.
Therefore, Fang Lang finally decided to speak up himself. He stretched out his hand and pressed down, motioning the other party to sit down, and then he said slowly:
"General Clark, please don't worry. I have something private to discuss with you."
Joseph Clark, who was still immersed in excitement, was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly reacted and said to Fang Lang hesitantly:
"Boss, do you want to talk about Charlie Cole?"
Fang Lang nodded upon hearing this and slowly said:
"This incident made me feel very embarrassed. The other party made such racist remarks at the party I hosted and insulted my girlfriend, which made me very angry.
However, considering that he is your nephew, I can't do anything to him. So..."
Before Fang Lang could finish, Joseph Clark spoke directly:
"Boss, you don't have to give me face, I don't have such a nephew.
And he didn't just make these comments to you and your girlfriend. I knew for a long time that this guy was a complete white supremacist.
Even I, his uncle, don’t know how many times he has called me a yellow-skinned monkey. If it weren’t for his father’s understanding, our two families would have severed ties long ago.”
Fang Lang had never thought that Charlie Cole would even discriminate against his own uncle. He was really a strange person. But from Joseph Clark's words, it could be found that he still had a certain good impression of Charlie Cole's father.
This was different from what Fang Lang had originally thought: Charlie Cole's transformation had something to do with his family education. Since this was the case, Fang Lang couldn't help but hesitate whether he should be ruthless to this family.
It seemed that Joseph Clark had no intention of coming forward to plead for mercy. He asked with some doubt:
"Hasn't their family asked you for help recently? After all, their business should have been greatly affected now!"
Hearing this, Joseph Clark smiled bitterly at Fang Lang and sighed. He picked up the tea on the table and drank it in one gulp. After calming down, he slowly spoke:
"Why didn't he ask us for help? However, the person at fault in this matter is Charlie Cole himself. As an adult, he should be responsible for his actions.
As for your Global Group, stopping cooperation with their family business is a normal business behavior. From the beginning to the end, you have never harmed his personal safety because of his remarks.
In my opinion, this is a very restrained act of retaliation, what else can I say."
Fang Lang carefully watched Joseph Clark's expression, making sure that he was not lying or hiding anything. What he said was what he really thought. No wonder he didn't come forward to speak for himself.
It turned out that in the eyes of the other party, everything he did was taken for granted and he did not do anything out of line.
Fang Lang really wanted to tell him that his revenge had not yet begun! But now that he knew the other party's attitude, Fang Lang hesitated.
To be honest, Joseph Clark is now considered a general under his command, and the military contracting company he is in charge of is also a very important part of his industry.
If he directly took action and humanely destroyed his nephew Charlie Cole, the other party might not say anything on the surface, but he would definitely have some bad thoughts in his heart. This was something Fang Lang did not want to see.
However, if I do nothing, I will feel uncomfortable. Sigh! Life is so hard!
"How do you know the current situation of their company?"
"I heard that it was very difficult and many companies that cooperated with them severed cooperation with them. My wife was also anxious for a while, but there was nothing we could do."
Fang Lang knew that the actual situation of Cohen Company was much more serious than what Joseph Clark said. Because of Alvin Rockefeller's statement, Kohl's stock price plummeted the next day.
Stock market assets directly evaporated by 70%, and companies that had cooperated with them announced the termination of cooperation one after another. Business volume also shrunk massively. Banking institutions also began to stop lending to Cole Industries and began to collect loans that were about to expire.
This forced Cole Industries to choose to sell off part of its business to stabilize people's hearts. In just half a month, the size of Cole Industries' company had shrunk by 60%.
The root of all this was simply because of the discriminatory remarks made by Charlie Cole at the banquet. As for whether this loyal supporter of white supremacy had regretted it, Fang Lang didn't know.
"Please give my condolences to Mrs. Clark."
After learning about Joseph Clark's attitude towards the matter, Fang Lang no longer had any interest in continuing to dwell on it.
Hearing Fang Lang's words, Joseph Clark stood up, saluted Fang Lang and said:
“Please rest assured, boss. This incident will not affect my loyalty to you. Our Clark family is an Indian-American family, not a vassal of the Cole family.
I will not stand on the same front with the Cole family."
This statement fully demonstrated Joseph Clark's attitude towards this matter, especially the statement that the Clark family is an Indian-American yellow family, which expressed his dissatisfaction with this white supremacy.
Fang Lang stood up and saluted in return:
“It’s an honor that we can continue to fight together!”
After seeing Joseph Clark off, Fang Lang sat in the office and thought for a long time. Because of the existence of John Clark, he was still very grateful to the Clark family, so he did not want to be on bad terms with the Clark family.
This is the best result now. As for how to deal with Charlie Cole in the end, Fang Lang has not figured it out yet. His idea now is to see whether Cole Industries has the possibility of rising again after this blow.
If the other party could rise again, he would definitely push him down without hesitation, because this time they had a grudge against each other, and if he gave the other party a chance to rise again, he might end up becoming his rival. This was something Fang Lang would never allow.
Time passed quickly. Because of the rainy season in Brazil, the domestic operations against the Eddie brothers' anti-government armed forces had to be suspended, giving the other side a rare opportunity to recuperate.
The acquisition of Caterpillar initiated by the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family was also successfully completed. Within just one month, this factory that produced bulldozers and tank chassis changed hands twice and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Global Group.
Immediately afterwards, all the designers of the company were gathered together, and Fang Lang personally organized a technical seminar that lasted nearly a week, focusing on the research of new asphalt concrete material engineering machinery.
At the same time, Fang Lang also introduced to everyone his vision for future construction machinery, including bulldozers, excavators, ramming machines, etc. Of course, Caterpillar's existing advantageous machinery such as generator sets and mining machinery were not left out.
In comparison, the change of shareholder information of the Bank for International Settlements, which is headquartered in Switzerland, was more secretive. Apart from a brief notification to the central banks of several other governments, this matter did not cause any waves at all.
After all, the Bank for International Settlements is basically closed now.
Then, due to the promotion of the Morgan and Rockefeller families, US President Adu officially announced the birth of the Duterte Doctrine in a speech to Congress at the end of February, and officially started the decades-long Cold War. This was nearly 20 days earlier than in history.
With the unremitting efforts of General Clark and the help of the new Secretary of State Marshall, the military contracting company recruited several influential generals from among the retired generals of the United States.
The lobbying team composed of these people successfully persuaded the US Department of Defense to outsource some of the more dangerous military missions as an experiment in private military contracting.
If the expected effect can be achieved, this new model will be widely adopted in the future.
