"Haha... good, good, very good. There are definitely no more than three companies in the world that have started research on CNC machine tools, and we are likely to be one of them. Once we are the first to achieve results, our machine tool processing company will definitely be world-renowned, and our products will be sold all over the world.
Perhaps in the future, the whole of Brazil will be proud to have a company like ours. And our Fang family’s position in Brazil will surely become more unbreakable.”
Everyone burst into laughter and were full of excitement when they heard this. It was hard for everyone to imagine that in just a few years, their Fang family had grown from an ordinary small landlord family to the current Brazilian giant. It could be said that if the Fang family stomped their feet, Brazil would tremble.
Just as everyone was excitedly raising their glasses to celebrate, the old man who had been silent all this time slowly spoke:
"Lang'er! The Fang family's success today is all due to your hard work. We are all very clear about this. But I think it's too early for you to celebrate now.
As the old saying goes, the first rafter to stick out rots first. I am worried that our Fang family's actions in Brazil are too high-profile and may attract a lot of attention. If others then join forces to target us, it will be troublesome."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard this. Most people showed a hint of dissatisfaction on their faces. Fang Xinshui even spoke directly:
"Dad, what era is this now? Who still cares about keeping a low profile? Besides, with Lang'er's position in the Brazilian army, if anyone dares to challenge us, we will just kill him."
Others also agreed after hearing this. After all, education in Western society is very different from that in the East. Most people don't like to hide their good things, but try to let everyone know. This is what we often call showing off.
...
...
Among them, Fang Lang, who had been influenced by Chinese culture in his previous life, reacted immediately. He could understand the old man's idea. The tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. This is an eternal truth.
Most of the truly famous tycoons in later generations were also unknown, such as Morgan and Rockefeller of this period, who gradually faded out of people's sight in later generations.
The Jewish tycoons who truly control every aspect of people's lives have been hiding in dark corners, staring at those large and prosperous companies. Once they have the chance, they will take a fierce bite or simply divide the profits.
Thinking of this, Fang Lang suddenly came to his senses, and the smug feeling that had just emerged from his excitement immediately disappeared without a trace. He looked at the old man with eyes full of gratitude.
"As the old saying goes, an old man in the family is like a treasure. The old man's reminder today is very timely."
Seeing that everyone was looking at him strangely, Fang Lang couldn't help but look at them with a serious expression, causing the crowd, who were originally in high spirits, to quiet down instantly.
You must know that all the current achievements of the Fang family were made under the leadership of Fang Lang. Therefore, Fang Lang’s say in the Fang family is undoubtedly the most important. It is no exaggeration to say that he has the final say.
After seeing that everyone had quieted down, Fang Lang slowly spoke:
“Don’t think that the old man is exaggerating. When I returned to China this time, I immediately received news that someone wanted to move me from my current position to the Navy Department as Deputy Chief of Staff.
This is a typical tactic of promoting someone in public but demoting him secretly. If they succeed, our family will lose the protection of my military forces, and our industry will become a sweet and delicious cake. Then countless people will be eager to pounce on it and take a bite.
We are powerless to resist, and when the time comes, we can only watch helplessly as we are eaten by others."
When everyone heard this, they were instantly in an uproar, and everyone started asking about what happened. Some people even started to show panic expressions.
Fang Xinshui, the most impulsive among them, jumped out and said:
"Lang'er, tell me which WBD wants to attack you, and I will find someone to kill him. I think they are desperate to have the guts to attack you."
Fang Lang did not answer immediately after hearing this. Instead, he looked at the noisy crowd and waited until everyone had finished discussing before he slowly spoke:
"Of course, the people who are planning to attack us are not just one or two people. They must be a huge interest group. This action against me is just a test. If we don't handle it well, we may be in a passive position.
Therefore, everyone must not think that the old man is worrying about nothing. On the contrary, this is the knowledge of our Chinese ancestors for thousands of years.
We all need to understand the principle that a tall tree attracts the wind. I think from now on, we need to change our development thinking. We cannot just focus on development, but also need to look up and see the road ahead. At the same time, we need to be alert to the wolves that may attack us from the roadside.
Once the enemy shows up, we will fight back without hesitation, killing or maiming them, so that others will not dare to provoke us easily."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and at the same time, a hint of ferocity began to appear in their eyes. As Fang Lang's father, Fang Xinshan was naturally most concerned about Fang Lang's situation, and couldn't help asking:
"Lang'er, your current situation is not a big deal, right? Have you thought of a solution?"
Hearing this, Fang Lang smiled, gave his father a reassuring look and said:
"Don't worry! They thought too little of me, thinking that they could control my troops after transferring me away. This time I will let them have a taste of the pain of losing more than they gain.
You don't have to worry about my affairs, but you must be highly vigilant about the company's affairs, and especially be careful of someone who might start from within us, bribe our company's management, take the opportunity to understand our company's situation, or destroy our foundation.
Especially the company's investigation department, Dad, you must keep it firmly in your own hands and let them conduct a detailed investigation into the situation of each department.
Once they find any abnormality, they must pay great attention to it and not be complacent and give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage.
At the same time, we must thoroughly investigate any problematic departments and individuals to find our real enemies, and then use thundering means to inflict cruel revenge on them, so that others will be terrified.”
Everyone nodded seriously when they heard this.
Seeing this, Fang Lang also felt relieved. It must be said that although their Fang family team has risen rapidly, they have not yet developed the bad habit of infighting. Perhaps it is because everyone knows that it is not easy for Chinese people to survive in a foreign country, and no one has thought about developing independently.
“Tao’er, from now on, your media group must quietly downplay our Fangyuan Group’s coverage of its infiltration of various industries in Brazil.
Once someone raises the claim that our Fangyuan Group is a threat, we must resolutely block them and send their information to Uncle Shui. Can you do it?"
Fang Tao was stunned when he heard this. He understood what Fang Lang meant. Although his education told him that doing so was not in line with journalistic principles, he still nodded firmly when he met his brother's gaze.
"Brother, don't worry! I can do it!"
After receiving a positive answer, Fang Lang turned his gaze to Fang Xin Waterway:
"Uncle Shui, do you understand what I mean?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the ancestral hall felt a chill run down their spines and turned their eyes to Fang Xinshui.
Fang Xinshui heard this, smiled and said nonchalantly:
"Don't worry, Brother Lang, I won't worry. When the time comes, I will make sure these guys disappear without a trace."
Fang Lang heard this and shook his head:
"No, I don't want you to make these people disappear without a trace, but to make them disappear without having anything to do with our Fang family.
I believe that as long as we are human, we will definitely have conflicts with others, and these conflicts may lead to bloody conflicts, whether it is a murder of love, revenge, or for money, as long as it is a personal grudge with other people. We can even anonymously provide some valuable clues to the police to help the police successfully identify the real culprit!
If there is really no personal conflict, we can also arrange an accident for him, such as electric shock, falling into water, car accident, etc. As long as the final result has nothing to do with us, it will be fine.
Do you understand what I mean? "
Now everyone looked at Fang Lang in amazement. They didn't expect that this kid would be so cruel. Seeing everyone's frightened expressions, Fang Lang shrugged indifferently.
Fang Xinshui, on the other hand, seemed to have discovered a new world, and spoke directly with excitement:
"Wow! Brother Lang, how did you come up with this idea? It's really amazing. I think you have developed a new business. We really need to continue to develop it in depth!"
Hearing this, Fang Lang glared at the other party and said:
"This is our method of eliminating dissidents. Do you want to turn it into a business? If everyone knows that there are people doing this job, how can we convince others that these people's deaths have nothing to do with us?"
Fang Xinshui heard Fang Lang's scolding and touched his head embarrassedly.
"Hehe... this is quite a pity! All right! When I get back, I will look for some professional experts and see if I can organize a special team.
Do you think it would be appropriate to look for such a person among the police and forensic doctors?"
Everyone felt a chill when looking at Fang Xinshui's expression.
Fang Lang felt very satisfied with this. He smiled without commenting and continued to say to his brother Fang Tao:
"Very good, everyone, please don't think that we are unscrupulous. You have to know that the business world is like a battlefield. Those who target us are our enemies. If we want to gain a foothold in Brazil, we must treat our enemies as cruelly as autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves."
Fang Tao saw the look in his brother's eyes and realized that he was worried that he would be too soft-hearted. He couldn't help but touch the back of his head in embarrassment before saying:
"Brother, don't worry! I can tell right from wrong and will never ignore the interests of the entire family for my own sake."
Seeing Fang Tao's affirmative answer, Fang Lang looked at the other people, and they all gave a firm affirmative response. Seeing this, Fang Lang breathed a sigh of relief.
“Very good. As a mouthpiece, the media group must play its due role. Not only must it unremittingly spread the positive image of our Fangyuan Group to the outside world, but it must also do a good job of covering up our stains and not let people put us under a magnifying glass.
We should promote more projects that can help promote our group's image in a positive way. For example, we can sponsor more sports competitions such as football leagues and car rallies.
At the same time, we at Fangyuan Group will also focus on promoting the charity activities we have carried out for poor children and in poor areas, so as to establish a corporate image for Fangyuan Group that is socially responsible and full of positive energy.”
Now everyone's face began to smile unconsciously. After all, this kind of positive publicity is something that everyone is very happy to see.
Fang Tao also said happily upon hearing this:
"Brother, don't worry! Our TV station has already started live broadcasting of the football league, and it seems that the ratings are quite good. Many advertisers have come to us on their own initiative, hoping to place advertisements on our TV station.
However, our current advertising space is mainly given to several automobile brands under the group.
As for the promotion of charity activities, this has never been done before. Should we set up a special column to promote this aspect?"
Fang Lang was not surprised at all that the TV station was broadcasting the football league live. After all, this was the path he had pointed out to them in the first place.
“There is no need to set up a special column for publicity. This would seem too deliberate and could easily be seen as a show. Not only would it not have a positive publicity effect, it might even cause people to be disgusted.
When we publicize the good things we do, we should do it in a subtle way. We should not mention that our company is doing charity, but we should let people know everywhere that we are doing charity.
At the same time, I plan to let Hepburn serve as our company's charity ambassador to organize charity events for us across the country.
In addition to charity, we will also set up our own scholarship. Brother Kun, when the time comes, the Education Group will set up a scholarship under the Fangyuan Charity Foundation to help young people who have learning talents and are willing to study hard to complete their studies.
It would be great if they could be grateful to the Group and think about returning to Fangyuan Group after graduation to repay the kindness.”
Hearing this, Yang Kun on the side nodded repeatedly to show that he had received it.
Seeing this, Fang Lang looked at Fang Tao and said:
"You just said that several car brands under our group are advertising on TV? So, our group's car sales in Brazil are pretty good now!"
Hearing this, everyone's face was full of smiles.
However, his father Fang Xinshan said with some worry:
"That's natural. Now most of the cars on the streets in Brazil are from several brands under our group, and American cars are about to withdraw from our Brazilian market.
However, with the increase in car sales, we are now facing a new problem, that is, the shortage of crude oil, which has caused our oil prices to soar.
We in Brazil do not have oil fields, so if we want oil we can only import it from American companies. But from my observation, American oil companies now seem to be deliberately reaping the wealth of Brazil by using high oil prices.
Only Richfield Oil Exploration Company, a subsidiary of Global Group, is still supplying us oil at normal prices.
But Richfield alone cannot guarantee the oil security of the entire Brazil. Once the oil price reaches an unacceptable level, our car production will inevitably be affected. "
