After communicating with Mrs. Clark, Fang Lang returned to the apartment and directly called Wan Chongxin to inform him that he would go to Mrs. Clark's family business early tomorrow morning in the name of the company to discuss the purchase of pesticides and fertilizer equipment.
What Fang Lang didn't know was that Mrs. Clark's family was arguing over his order. Mrs. Clark's original name was Hedy Lamar Cole. The Cole family had not been around for long. It was founded by Mrs. Clark's father, David Cole, and was mainly engaged in the manufacture of chemical equipment.
The reason why I got involved in the manufacturing of medical equipment was that during the war, I did OEM for Johnson & Johnson and had the opportunity to get involved in the manufacturing of pharmaceutical production equipment.
"Father, is it worth it for us to secretly produce a set of equipment at the risk of offending Johnson & Johnson? Even if Johnson & Johnson hasn't discovered it now, once this Brazilian guy starts selling penicillin in Brazil, all companies capable of manufacturing these devices will definitely be investigated. I don't think we can avoid being discovered."
Charlie Cole had an unhappy expression on his face and complained to his father, Richard Cole, Clark's brother.
"Charlie, this is not just business, understand! This is a favor! Your grandfather taught us the importance of family since we were young. He saved your cousin John's life, and we must be grateful!"
Richard Cole educated his son earnestly.
"That little bastard's last name is Clark, not Cole. We have no obligation to help him repay his kindness."
Charlie was obviously very dissatisfied with his father's putting family affection and business on the same level, especially for John, who had been at odds with him since childhood.
...
...
"You bastard, he is my nephew. He is also your brother. When did you become so heartless?"
Richard couldn't believe that his son would have no affection at all towards his relatives and only care about business. He was so angry that he wanted to slap him in the face.
"But he's an Indian, and I hate him."
Charlie didn't care about his father's livid face at all, and expressed his strong contempt for Indians. It can be clearly seen that Charlie is a complete racist.
"Pa!" The crisp sound of a slap was particularly clear in the quiet room.
"You bastard, I never thought that our Cole family would produce a bastard like you. I have taught you since you were a child that family is more important than anything else. I never thought that after studying for a few years, you would turn yourself into a bastard who doesn't care about your relatives. Who taught you all this!"
Richard was furious. His family was originally a Jewish family, and Jews were discriminated against in American society. He didn't expect that his son would also learn to discriminate against others.
Charlie covered his face in disbelief. He never expected that his father would slap him.
"You beat your own son for an Indian."
Charlie is almost thirty years old. Although he is not married yet, he is already an adult. He was slapped by his father at such an old age. He could not accept it both psychologically and physically. He looked at his father with red eyes.
I secretly vowed to teach John a lesson, and if all else fails, I will ruin this deal and make this Brazilian get lost as far away as possible.
Richard looked at his son, whose eyes were flashing with viciousness, and felt even more disappointed. No one knows his son better than his father. He could tell from his expression that Charlie wanted revenge and wanted to do something bad. He couldn't give him the chance.
"I would rather not have a son like you. Since my education was unsuccessful, you must return to your grandfather from tomorrow and learn what family, relatives, and clan are. When you understand, you can come back to work at the family company."
When Charlie heard that his father wanted to send him to his grandfather, he immediately became unhappy and jumped up and shouted:
“Why?”
Now my grandfather has bought a farm in the countryside to spend his retirement, and I don’t want to go there to deal with cows, sheep, and the old man every day.
"Just because I'm your father. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? I can tell what you want to do from your eyes. Don't you think that if you really expose this matter, will our company still have a good life? Do you think that if this matter is known by other companies, our company can continue to survive? Can you still enjoy the wealthy life you dream of!"
"We haven't given birth to him yet, so what does it matter?"
"You are so naive. You don't produce, but you have the ability to produce. Now it is because of the war that Johnson & Johnson entrusts us to produce these devices. Once the war is over, do you think we can continue to receive orders from Johnson & Johnson? If we want to enter the medical equipment market, we will never have another chance in the future if we don't take advantage of this opportunity now."
Charlie was stunned by his father's words. He didn't expect that his father was not just repaying his gratitude, but his deeper goal was to enter the field of medical equipment manufacturing. He didn't know whether it was true or not, but at least it made Charlie give up the idea of exposing this business.
But Richard didn't want to continue talking to his stupid son, so he turned around and left, leaving Charlie standing there with his face covered and looking disheveled in the wind.
When Wan Chongxin came to Cole Industries on behalf of Global Trade the next day to negotiate, everything went smoothly. Richard was especially delighted when he learned that Fang Lang was going to purchase an additional batch of fertilizer and pesticide manufacturing equipment in order to prevent Cole Industries from being discovered selling penicillin equipment.
The company directly promised not only to provide the manufacturing process of all products, but also to arrange for special personnel to provide on-site guidance until qualified products were produced. Therefore, the purchase contract worth US$6 million was signed quickly.
As soon as Fang Lang got out of school, he was immediately excited by the good news! Six million dollars is not a small amount, but being able to directly take over three important industries with six million dollars is definitely worth it.
Wan Chongxin came this time, not only to tell Fang Lang the good news, but also brought Fang Lang's uncle Fang Xinshui. After they had dinner together, they came to the apartment that Wan Chongxin had rented for Fang Xinshui, and then Wan Chongxin left.
"Lang'er, I never thought you'd become a major now, that's incredible!"
Fang Xinshui looked at Fang Lang's military rank and exclaimed in admiration.
"I didn't expect that either. Unfortunately, it's not easy to be a major. It's not as easy as before. After completing this training, I will have to go back to the battlefield."
"What does it matter? It's only natural to be a soldier and fight in wars. If you don't fight, you won't have the chance to get promoted so quickly!"
Uncle Fang Xinshui seemed to take the war not seriously at all, and was not worried about his nephew's safety at all. He slapped his thigh nonchalantly.
"After all, we are not fighting for ourselves. Well, let's not talk about this anymore. Uncle, do you know why this guy asked you to come to New York?"
Fang Lang knew that his uncle didn't understand what he was thinking, so he didn't say much and went straight to the point.
Hearing Fang Lang's question, Fang Xinshui was still a little worried. After all, he had heard that the matter had been settled after he came here.
"Just now I heard from Ashin that he wanted us to come over to get some rare equipment, right? But now you've done it, so we came here for nothing!"
Fang Lang looked at his worried uncle in front of him and said with a smile:
"Haha... How could this be for nothing? Now that we are here, we have to start many of our plans ahead of time!"
Although he didn't know what the specific plan Fang Lang was talking about, as long as it wasn't a wasted trip, it was fine. Now various things in Brazil were starting to take off, and the real estate company he was in charge of had also begun to operate. However, Fang Xinshui really couldn't get used to working in the office every day.
So, as soon as he received Fang Lang's telegram asking him to come to New York, he dropped what he was doing and flew to New York in a hurry with his little brother.
"Talk to me, I can't wait. The factories in Brazil have been integrated. The cigarettes made by our cigarette factory have opened up the market in Brazil. Even the newspaper company is thriving. I am the only one who is working on real estate now. It's really meaningless. When I come out this time, I will just leave it to your father. I am really not suitable for these things."
