Chapter 479: The Air Force Minister's New Business



At this point in time, staying in Brazil is obviously more attractive than returning to Germany. If this situation happens again two years later, most people here may choose to return to Germany.

After all, the European aid plan will officially start next year. This plan will enable the economic conditions of European countries to recover quickly. Germany, as the region facing the greatest pressure from the Soviet Union, is a key area of ​​aid.

I have to say that it was a pleasant surprise to be dragged to the Porsche factory in Sao Paulo by Homero Wenger and to unexpectedly discover the special circumstances there.

As for Homero Wenger's behavior of pestering Fang Lang to go to the Porsche factory, which eventually killed him, I wonder how he will feel afterwards.

This matter was handled very suddenly, but the whole result still made Fang Lang very satisfied. Not only did he turn a joint venture factory into a wholly-owned enterprise of the Fang family, but he also kept all the German forces of the joint venture in the local area.

He did not bring with him the complete Beetle car technology, nor the complete set of Porsche's research and development data over the years. The biggest gain was naturally the research and development data of the "Tiger" tank.

Of course, it is impossible to really hand over these Fang Lang to the Allies.

In fact, this information is far less important than Fang Lang said. After all, this is not a big killer like the "Fat Kid", and the research information of the "Tiger" is not only available in the Porsche factory.

This was just an excuse Fang Lang gave himself to take full control of the São Paulo Porsche factory.

...

...

Of course, the reason why Mr. Porsche, who is imprisoned in Germany, has not been released yet is definitely because he did not tell the truth.

Fang Lang has already prepared a great gift for Mr. Porsche, ensuring that he will never be able to leave prison again. After all, "If you don't kill the snake, you will suffer from it" is a piece of knowledge left by our Chinese ancestors.

It's not that Fang Lang is too cruel. After this incident, Fang Lang has already formed a deep hatred with the other party. After the other party is released from prison, he may re-establish the German Porsche company. So many people in his company may be poached by the other party. At that time, his newly stabilized automobile factory may face drastic turmoil.

He didn't want to leave himself with such hidden dangers.

Now, if I want to attack him, it will be too easy. Even his death cannot be linked to myself.

As for whether Porsche without Mr. Porsche will produce classic models like Porsche 911 like in later generations, or whether Porsche without Mr. Porsche can survive after this blow, it is hard to say.

The former Porsche factory, which is completely controlled by Fangyuan Group, will be directly renamed Fangyuan Automobile. Fang Lang has already planned a development route for Fangyuan Automobile, which is to learn from Volkswagen and Toyota and take a popular route.

The Beetle car was produced first, and at the same time, Volkswagen began to develop the Volkswagen Bus van that was later manufactured by Volkswagen, which focused on the characteristics of high quality, low price, safety and fuel efficiency.

It has formed a misaligned competitive relationship with Mercedes-Benz and Aston Martin under its own group, and has completely occupied the automobile consumer market.

Fang Lang will certainly not give up on the research on tanks, but it is obviously not the right time yet. According to his plan, the research and development of tanks will be handed over to the joint venture factory of Fangyuan Group and Caterpillar under Global Group in the future.

After all, this company has experience in producing tank chassis in the United States, and the tracked chassis of engineering vehicles can be used interchangeably with tanks, reducing production and R&D costs.

After handing over the work of Fangyuan Automobile Factory to his subordinates, Fang Lang took a special plane back to his naval base in Natal the next day.

The officers at the naval base have long been accustomed to Fang Lang's hands-off management style, and the morale of the entire aircraft carrier battle group will not be affected at all.

Fang Lang's purpose of rushing back to the naval base was to attend the opening ceremony of the base's military medical hospital. Natal has developed rapidly in the two years since Fang Lang's aircraft carrier fleet moved in.

A large number of factories were built, attracting a large number of workers to work in Natal. Together with the families of the navy and Chinese immigrants, Natal has now become a big city with a population of nearly 300,000.

In a city like this, the supporting facilities for living, work and life are developing rapidly, but the hospital only has a small clinic, which is obviously not enough.

Fang Lang has already begun to promote the establishment of a military hospital at the base, which will not only generate income for the army, but also train the medical skills of military doctors, and also allow soldiers to not worry about their own health and solve the increasingly serious problem of infectious diseases. This is a win-win situation.

This naval medical hospital is very large. Not only has it built several new buildings, it has also hired many outstanding doctors from Europe and the United States. It not only treats simple diseases, but also supports doctors in conducting medical research.

Fang Lang plans to make this Naval Medical Hospital a representative modern hospital in Brazil.

Fang Lang, who had just attended the hospital opening ceremony, returned to his office and met an unexpected guest.

"Hey! General Mora, why are you here? Please come in quickly!"

After saying that, he glared at the person on duty outside his office with dissatisfaction and said:

"Why didn't you inform me in time that the general was coming? And you made the general wait outside the door?"

It turned out to be the Minister of Air Force, General Nero Mora, who came directly to his office without making any noise.

Without waiting for the person on duty outside the office to answer, General Nero Mora took the initiative to speak:

“Hahaha… Don’t blame them. I was the one who told them not to inform you. This time I made a sudden visit on the spur of the moment decision. As long as you’re in Natal, it’ll be fine.

I'm not in a hurry. When you finish your work, we can have a meal together and chat while we eat."

Fang Lang noticed that General Nero Mora looked very happy, and he vaguely understood why he came to see him, but couldn't he just call him for such a matter? Why did he even come in person?

"What are you talking about? General Mora is here, and receiving you is my most important task. It looks like you haven't eaten yet!

It's almost time for dinner, I'll treat you to a special Chinese meal."

He turned to his adjutant Qi Qingshan and said:

"Call Deyilou and order a table of delicious food so that General Mora and I can have a good meal together."

"Yes! Boss!"

After saying this, Fang Lang pulled General Nero Mora into his office and said:

"Let's sit down for a while and have a cup of tea. When the hotel is ready, we'll go over there."

General Nero Mora did not refuse Fang Lang's enthusiasm. After entering the office, he looked around with great interest.

Fang Lang changed into casual clothes before sitting down and making tea. The two of them knew exactly what they were going to talk about this time, so they were not in a hurry.

General Nero Mora even wanted to take the opportunity to talk to Fang Lang about other things to deepen their personal friendship. After all, there were some discordant situations during their last communication.

Although neither of them took it too seriously, this could easily create a rift in their relationship, so necessary communication is the right choice.

So, the two of them talked about everything under the sun until Qi Qingshan came and knocked on the door, telling them that the banquet in the hotel was ready. Only then did their conversation end.

This time, Fang Lang and General Nero Mora were not the only ones having dinner together. Fang Lang also invited his chief of staff, De La Torre, to join them. Everyone was toasting each other and the atmosphere was lively.

The Deyilou where everyone was having dinner was a Chinese restaurant opened with the support of Fang Lang. Its business was very good now. There were many people at Deyilou who were gossiping, so it was obviously not a suitable place to discuss serious matters.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Fang Lang and General Nero Mora did not return to Fang Lang's office to continue chatting, but instead came to Fang Lang's residence at the naval base.

In the tea room where the two had their first tea and chat, General Nero Mora was completely relaxed. He looked at Fang Lang making tea with a comfortable look on his face, and said casually:

"Brother Fang, I came here specially to thank you this time!"

Fang Lang heard this and realized that the other party was about to get to the point. He smiled slightly and performed the movements of Ruochen taking off the bath smoothly. The teacup rotated in the tea soup, and the movements looked graceful and agile.

He said casually without caring:

"Brothers, why are you being so polite when thanking me?"

Nero Mora took the initiative to open a box of cigars on the tea table, took out one casually, and cut it open.

"You're right, we are all brothers, and I won't be polite to you anymore.

You know what, I’ve smoked so many cigars, but the one I smoked at your place last time tasted the best to me.”

Looking at the other party's actions, Fang Lang smiled slightly. He was not disgusted by the other party's casualness. Being able to be so relaxed in his own home, it was obvious that the other party did not regard him as an outsider.

After scalding the teacup with a set of Ruochen's movements of taking off from the bath, Fang Lang picked up the small ceramic pot on the red clay stove, and with a movement of jade liquid returning to the pot, the long line of water rushed into the teapot, which looked really pleasing to the eye.

Nero Mora's attention was involuntarily attracted to Fang Lang.

Fang Lang just smiled slightly when he saw this, and said casually:

"The cigars here are all produced by our own cigarette factory. If you like them, I'll have someone send some to your house."

"No, no, I'm going to be rich soon. Buying cigars is a small problem. I'll just take care of your business when the time comes."

Nero Mora lit up the cigar, took a deep puff, exhaled with a look of enjoyment, and then slowly waved his hand.

This was a clear message to Fang Lang that he had entered the Air Force's interest group and was in cahoots with everyone else, so he would never have to worry about running out of money again.

Hearing this, Fang Lang continued with a smile on his face:

"So, I don't have to develop a piston engine trainer at my own expense, right?"

The other party laughed and said:

"Of course, I'm here this time to bring you bigger business. How about a jet fighter? Is your company sure you can produce it?"

As expected, with the participation of professionals like General Nero Mora, those unsophisticated people in the Air Force Department have begun to move away from the lowly interests of propeller planes and start climbing the big tree of jet aircraft.

Fang Lang was not in a hurry to answer the other party's question. He continued to make tea, and poured a cup of tea for each of them with the same gesture as Guan Gong patrolling the city. He handed one of the cups to the other party, and then said slowly:

"As long as your Air Force can afford it, there is no business we dare not take on."

This is a reminder: please see how much money you can give to your own company as R&D funds. If all the funds are eaten up by yourselves, then what's the point of development?

No one needs to play anymore.

General Nero Mora did not get angry after hearing Fang Lang's words. Instead, he smiled smugly and said:

"Don't worry, Brother Fang. We in the Air Force Department are united now. As long as your Fangyuan Aircraft Manufacturing Company is capable of taking over this business, we are confident that we can continue to apply for sufficient funds from the Ministry of National Defense.

However, we must first agree on the allocation ratio of this fund."
