From this distribution ratio, Fang Lang can see that this guy is at most a member of the group, and does not occupy a dominant position at all. Otherwise, how could he let others get more than him.
He was not familiar with the Chief of Staff and did not want to make friends with such a greedy guy. If he wanted to have his own influence in the Air Force in the future, he had to help Nero Mora consolidate his power.
“Who will do the work of dividing the money?”
"Chief of Staff of the Air Force Department."
Fang Lang glanced at the still confused Nero Mora and said firmly:
"You don't have to get the most in the early stages, but the right to distribute must be in your hands. Only in this way can you completely control the power of the Air Force Department. Otherwise, you may be replaced by your chief of staff at any time."
Nero Mora is not a fool. He originally had the opportunity to be the one to share the money, but his purpose was not for the money, so he voluntarily gave up this right.
But as soon as Fang Lang said this, he immediately understood the importance of this right, and nodded seriously to show that he understood!
“You can’t just share the money directly. You should find a foreigner, preferably an American, and set up an aircraft research and development laboratory in Brazil in his name. The company doesn’t need to be big, and it should be as low-key as possible.
...
...
All relevant stakeholders become shareholders of the company as investors.
Then, the company took over the R&D order for the new aircraft model in the name of this company, and then subcontracted the R&D project to Fangyuan Aircraft Manufacturing Company at four times the contract price.
The remaining 60% is the company's operating income, which is paid to the bank accounts of various shareholders in the form of dividends."
Nero Mora looked at Fang Lang in amazement. He had never expected that this could be done. After a long while, he swallowed hard and said:
"Is it still possible to do this?"
Looking at the Air Force Minister who was looking at him with admiration, Fang Lang had an unfathomable smile on his face. "You little brat, this is just the beginning. You guys are just a bunch of reckless men. You don't have any technical skills at all when doing things. You still need me to guide you personally."
"Why not?"
Nero Mora is not a fool. He certainly understands the purpose of Fang Lang's operation. First of all, he must be able to take Fangyuan Group out of his family and turn the original kickbacks into investment income.
In this way, even if someone comes to investigate, they cannot be accused of taking bribes. In a capitalist society, this is a purely commercial behavior. After all, this aircraft research and development laboratory is a real existence.
In the end, the products will definitely be delivered, so who can say anything more?
It's not that Nero Mora didn't understand the benefits of this, but he had never thought that this matter could be handled in this way. It completely overturned his three views. At this moment, the image of Fang Lang in his mind directly rose to an existence that he could only look up to.
"Then why don't you just let your Fangyuan Aircraft Manufacturing Company invest in this laboratory and directly own 40% of the shares? Wouldn't that be simpler?"
Unexpectedly, Nero Mora's brain worked quickly and he actually discovered Fang Lang's intention to distance himself from them.
However, Fang Lang was not prepared to hide it from the other party.
"In the final analysis, this behavior is illegal. Our Fangyuan Group is a formal company. We can obviously make money through formal channels. Why do we need to get involved in this muddy water?
I tell you, you should not invest in this company in your own name or in the name of your relatives. You can find a way to get a fake identity and then open a special account at our Brazilian Development Bank. Our own bank can protect customer information.
If you need money, just use this account. Keep your personal account clean, so you don’t have to worry about anyone investigating.”
Today, Fang Lang brought an even greater shock to Nero Mora. It was simply a big surprise every day.
If Fang Lang really operated like this, on the surface, he would have nothing to do with this company. Even if someone wanted to drag him into it, they would not be able to find any substantial evidence.
He knew in his heart that Fang Lang was trying to protect him, which made him grateful to him from the bottom of his heart. He said nothing, but just silently gave Fang Lang a thumbs up. At the same time, he picked up the teacup in his right hand, gestured to Fang Lang, and drank it in one gulp.
Fang Lang understood what the other party meant, smiled, and said nothing more. He also picked up the teacup from the tea table, motioned to him, and drank it in one gulp. The two of them laughed tacitly for a long time before they slowly calmed down.
"Brother Fang, I will remember your kindness to me.
The entire Air Force Department owes you a favor for this matter. If you have any questions in the future, just tell me and I will do my best."
Hearing this, Fang Lang nodded in satisfaction, thinking to himself, this is what I've been waiting for you to say. I don't believe that you, Nero Mora, will be able to escape from my grasp in the future. If you don't work hard for me, your fake identity in the bank will really become a fake identity.
Of course Fang Lang would not say these words, but after thinking about it, he still reminded:
“These are minor issues. The management rights of this company must be in your hands. Only in this way can you truly control the Air Force Department and not be easily manipulated by them.
Next, you need to start dividing and disintegrating the people in this interest group, and slowly kick out the forces that do not belong to you.
Only when you have complete control over the say and the right to dispose of the company's shares at will, the Air Force Department can be said to be completely under your control.
I hope you won’t be blinded by the wealth in front of you and eventually become a slave to money.”
This can be regarded as Fang Lang's sincere consideration for Nero Mora, and the other party must appreciate it no matter what.
In fact, Nero Mora was really touched at this moment. Fang Lang always considered him and tried every means to help him achieve his goals, which made him regard Fang Lang as his own relative.
After all, these were all very confidential matters. He didn't even tell his family, but he brought them out to discuss and seek advice from Fang Lang. It was clear that he treated Fang Lang as a real friend.
If Fang Lang wasn't much younger than him, he would have wanted to acknowledge Fang Lang as his elder brother.
He stood up with a serious face, stretched out his right hand to Fang Lang, clasped it tightly, gave him a big hug, and held Fang Lang tightly with his left hand.
"Good brother, Fang, you are my best brother."
Fang Lang could sense the other person's emotions. He patted him on the back with a smile on his face and did not continue to dwell on the matter.
Some things are not about how you say something, but how you do it. No matter how much the other party says now, it is not as practical as their actual performance in the later stage of action.
Fang Lang is not a gentleman who does good without expecting anything in return, but he also does not expect that what he does will make the other party grateful and obedient to him.
Everything you do now is actually a risky investment. Whether you can achieve the expected return in the future depends on the other party's character. Of course, even if the other party's character is proven to be bad in the future, the most you can do is to fail in your investment.
However, Fangyuan Aircraft Manufacturing Company can actually receive a sum of research and development funds from the Ministry of National Defense. As for whether these research and development funds can produce real results, Fang Lang is even less worried.
You have to know that I have just launched a jet fighter research and development project for my own company. Now with the participation of the Air Force Department, it is just icing on the cake.
After the other party gradually calmed down, the two sat down slowly and ended the main topic of the day.
Fang Lang continued to make tea slowly and casually started chatting about another thing.
"Does your Air Force have any specific requirements for the jet aircraft indicators?"
Nero Mora, who had just regained his composure, waved his hand casually and said:
“What can we ask for? Those guys only care about the research and development funds and don’t care whether the aircraft can be successfully developed.
The longer the R&D cycle is and the more additional funding is provided, the happier they are! ”
Fang Lang smiled and continued calmly:
"What about you? Do you have any specific requirements for your Air Force's future jets?"
Nero Mora was really in a dilemma now. He touched the back of his head awkwardly and said:
"To be honest, I haven't had much contact with jet aircraft, and I don't know what a jet aircraft should be like. My requirements are not high in my mind. As long as I can solve the problem, it will be considered a success."
Today's jet aircraft are emerging technologies, so it is normal for General Nero Mora to make such a request. After hearing what the other party said, Fang Lang felt more confident.
He smiled and nodded:
“Then I understand.
How about this! I will organize the R&D personnel in the factory to meet and study together. With the opinions of professional aircraft designers, we can work out the most reasonable performance indicators.
You submit your R&D plan based on this indicator, so that we can be more targeted.
We should avoid the situation where we cannot achieve the targets we set and then be accused of wasting money.”
Nairo Mora obviously had no objection to this. The main reason was that we were now in the first stage of forming jet fighter tactics and countries around the world were still in the exploratory stage. It was normal that the Brazilian Air Force did not know much about the new aircraft models.
Moreover, he knew that Fangyuan Aircraft Manufacturing Company had several outstanding aircraft designers from Germany, and that it would be a sure thing if professional matters were left to professionals.
General Nero Mora, who was only thinking about solving the problem, suddenly had an idea and spoke as if he had thought of something:
“That’s no problem, just cooperate with each other!
By the way, speaking of jet fighters, do the instructors in our aviation academy understand the tactics of jet fighters?
If I have the chance, I would like to attend the class. Otherwise, if we really wait for the jet fighter to be developed but we don’t know how to use it, it will be a joke.”
Fang Lang was also stunned by these words. A few days ago at Fangyuan Aircraft Manufacturing Company, he had specifically popularized the strategies and tactics of the first and second generation jet fighters to the company's designers.
But these are his own conclusions based on his own experience. The only countries that can own jet fighters now are probably the United States and the Soviet Union.
They are probably still in the exploratory stage regarding the tactics of the first generation of jet fighters, and the instructors at the aviation school they have established themselves probably haven’t formed a systematic system yet.
Is it necessary for him to release this knowledge in advance? After thinking about it, Fang Lang finally gave up. Now his aircraft carrier fleet has no jet fighters at all, and he will not be able to use it after spreading it.
If I really spread this knowledge to the instructors of the aviation school, it will probably be learned by the US military soon. Wouldn't it cause trouble to my hometown during the Korean War?
This kind of behavior of aiding the enemy must not be done. It is better to wait until the Americans are hit hard on the peninsula before they stand up and say that they learned from the experience of the peninsula war and summarized the tactical thinking of the first generation of jet fighters. Well! That's it.
After understanding this, Fang Lang quickly spoke:
"The instructors at our aviation school are all veterans of World War II. They have never been in contact with jet fighters, so how can they know the tactics of jet fighters?
I think we should organize some excellent pilots to study and explore the tactical maneuvers of jet fighters."
Nero Mora just mentioned it casually, and he didn't think at all that Fang Lang already had a clear understanding of the future air force tactical thinking in his mind. He just thought that the other party was also crossing the river by feeling the stones like himself.
“That’s fine, but I feel that relying solely on our own pilots is definitely not enough. After all, we have been carrying out low-intensity missions throughout the war, and there is still some gap in actual combat experience compared to major participating countries such as the United States, Britain, the Soviet Union, and Germany.
If necessary, we'd better set up a special tactical research group in the aviation school to study the new changes brought about by the new equipment."
It has to be said that General Nero Mora is very thoughtful in his job as an air force officer. Fang Lang obviously cannot stop this kind of thing. Not to mention Brazil, even the United States and the Soviet Union must be studying it themselves.
The tactics of the first generation of jet fighters were basically not too far away from the fighting methods of World War II. Even if he didn't say anything, he couldn't stop those outstanding air force talents from coming up with their own tactics.
At the very least, the outcome of the Peninsular War would certainly not change because of the establishment of an air force tactics research group in Brazil.
"No problem! I'll take it with both hands."
Fang Lang picked up the teacup and took a sip indifferently.
Nero Mora felt a little strange, as if Fang Lang wasn't very enthusiastic about this topic.
After thinking for a while, he picked up the teacup and put it down again. Finally, he took a small sip and lowered his voice, changing the topic to an idea that he had hidden in his heart.
"Brother! I see that the Marine Corps of your aircraft carrier battle group seems to be developing very well. Do you think I should set up an airborne force in the Air Force Department?"
Hearing this, he looked up at the guy in front of him with a look of surprise. He didn't expect that this guy looked honest, but was actually a restless guy!
Among the three armed forces, the army is the strongest, the navy is second, and his air force is the smallest and weakest. It has just been established as an independent army, and even its aircraft are those supported by the United States during World War II. However, his ambition is so big that he has begun to poach talents from the army.
However, as a member of the navy, he certainly would not mind the Air Force having a paratrooper to further weaken the position of the army among the three armed forces.
"You don't even have transport planes, yet you want to start adding paratroopers. Aren't you a little too hasty?"
