That afternoon, Fang Lang found an inconspicuous four-story building near Trinity Church in Boston according to the address provided by Mr. Alvin Rockefeller.
He walked straight in under the escort of a group of guards.
An elderly white man in a British-style tuxedo saw the scene and quickly stood up to greet them:
"Excuse me, is this Mr. Fang Lang?"
Fang Lang took a look at the other person and felt that he should be a butler or something like that. He smiled politely and said:
"Yes, I am Fang Lang, nice to meet you!"
The elderly white man bowed slightly and said very gentlemanly:
"Nice to meet you too, Mr. Fang. Mr. Lawrence is waiting for you upstairs. Please follow me!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Lang didn't hesitate. He gestured to Qi Qingshan behind him and followed the old white man to the second floor.
...
...
Qi Qingshan followed the other two upstairs, while the others had already dispersed on the first floor.
After entering the second floor, the elderly white man came to a double-door room and knocked twice before whispering:
"Mr. Lawrence! Your guest has arrived!"
A slightly low voice came from inside:
"Please come in, guests!"
The elderly white man turned around and nodded at Fang Lang, opened the door, bent down slightly, and made a invitation gesture with his right hand.
Fang Lang opened the door and saw a European-style classical reception room inside! There was a fireplace on the left side of the wall, and a set of slightly gorgeous European-style sofas on the right.
A white man in his fifties with slightly gray hair and wearing a pair of black-framed glasses was walking slowly towards the door, followed by a man in his thirties.
The moment Fang Lang's eyes swept over the young man, his expression was slightly startled. He felt that the other person looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.
However, this was obviously not the time to ask. The older white man had already spoken to Fang Lang as he walked:
"Mr. Fang, nice to meet you! I'm Lawrence Bell."
Fang Lang also hurriedly took two steps forward, stretched out his hand and shook the other party's, and said politely:
"Hello! I'm Fang Lang, nice to meet you!"
After the two men shook hands, Lawrence Bell pointed to the young man behind him and said:
"This is John Kennedy!"
When Fang Lang heard the name, he finally knew why this guy looked familiar. Wasn't this the President Kennedy who was shot? The reason why Fang Lang knew this President who was shot was because he saw a video of Marilyn Monroe when he was watching a video of beautiful women.
After an in-depth investigation, it was discovered that Marilyn Monroe had actually been the lover of the President of the United States, and this President of the United States was John F. Kennedy in front of us.
I didn't expect that Mr. John Kennedy was actually a member of the Boston consortium. I just don't know what industry Mr. Lawrence Bell who was with him was engaged in!
Alvin Rockefeller only told himself that he had made an appointment with two people from the Boston consortium who could facilitate the joint school operation, but he did not tell himself who the other party was.
However, Fang Lang was not in a hurry. After knowing the names of the two people, it would not be particularly difficult to get each other's detailed information.
Fang Lang smiled and gently shook hands with the future President of the United States. They exchanged greetings:
"Nice to meet you!"
John Kennedy always felt that the other party looked at him in a strange way, but he did not think much about it. He shook hands with the other party with a smile on his face and said:
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Fang."
After seeing the two people greet each other, Lawrence Bell pointed to the reception area behind him and asked them to take a seat. Obviously, this was Mr. Lawrence Bell's home court.
After greeting each other, they sat down. The housekeeper outside the door arranged Qi Qingshan and others to rest in the next room.
As soon as they sat down, a servant dressed very formally brought tea to them and turned around to close the door of the reception area.
"Mr. Fang, as far as I know, your Global Group seems to have always cooperated with the Morgan family. I didn't expect that you and Mr. Rockefeller are also friends."
Lawrence Bell spoke first.
Hearing this, Fang Lang smiled slightly. It seems that the news of the three companies cooperating to control the Bank for International Settlements has not yet been spread! Otherwise, Mr. Lawrence would not be unaware of the cooperative relationship between him and Mr. Rockefeller.
“My estate on the Hudson River in New York is right next to the Rockefeller estate, so we can be considered very good neighbors.
So, when I asked Mr. Rockefeller if he knew any Harvard trustees, he helped me meet two of them.
Lawrence Bell looked at Fang Lang with interest. Of course, he didn't quite believe that the two were just neighbors. However, everyone was not familiar with each other now, so it was not appropriate to dig deeper into the relationship between them.
John Kennedy, who was standing by, was also very curious about Fang Lang, who was younger than him. He heard that he was a Brazilian general, but he didn't expect that he had close ties with the two largest financial groups in the United States. He asked curiously:
"Mr. Fang, I heard that you participated in the European War as a soldier of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force?"
Before the real work began, everyone chatted with each other and got to know each other. Fang Lang certainly would not refuse and nodded:
"Yes, I started out serving in the Brazilian Expeditionary Army, but was injured in the Italian War and could no longer serve in the Army, so I was transferred to the Brazilian Expeditionary Navy to continue serving in the European War."
Unexpectedly, after hearing Fang Lang's words, John Kennedy said enthusiastically:
"Haha... if we count it this way, we are still comrades-in-arms!
During the war, I served in the U.S. Army and fought in Italy.”
Fang Lang only knew that John F. Kennedy later served as the President of the United States, but he didn't know that this guy had been a soldier and participated in the European War. No wonder this guy later took the initiative to start the Vietnam War. It seems that this guy is still a warmonger!
"Oh! So Mr. Kennedy also participated in the European War. So, we are really comrades-in-arms!"
Fang Lang also had a smile on his face, and spoke enthusiastically as if he had met an old friend in a foreign land.
John Kennedy laughed when he heard this:
"Yes, brother, we are comrades, and we once fought side by side in Italy.
Please call me John! Haha..."
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards Fang Lang with such enthusiasm that Fang Lang almost couldn't react. Fortunately, he noticed the other party's open arms and realized that the other party wanted to give him a hug.
They quickly stood up and hugged each other tightly, patting each other on the back affectionately.
"No problem, John! You can just call me Fang."
Lawrence Bell, who was standing by, saw the two young men hugging each other warmly, and his eyes softened when he looked at Fang Lang. After all, this guy had shed blood for America.
After the hug, Fang Lang returned to his seat and heard John Kennedy continue speaking:
"It's a pity that you were transferred to the navy, otherwise we might have had a chance to meet on the battlefield!
I heard you haven't retired yet, right?"
Fang Lang found the other party's enthusiasm a little difficult to adapt to, but at the same time he also felt that this was a good thing. Everyone had a common topic, which would be more conducive to the subsequent negotiations.
"Yes, I am still serving in the Brazilian Navy. Some time ago, I went to the United States on behalf of the Brazilian Navy to receive an aircraft carrier. Now I am the commander of this aircraft carrier fleet."
"Wow! I didn't expect that after you transferred from the army to the navy, you actually became the commander of an aircraft carrier formation. It seems that your position in the military is not low!"
John Kennedy gave Fang Lang a thumbs up.
Fang Lang did not keep a low profile after hearing this. After all, this is America. If he keeps a low profile, others will think he is easy to bully. So, he spoke directly:
“It was also by chance, because I knew how to sail, and after transferring from the army to the navy, I became the captain of a transport ship.
Later, I was sent to the United States to study and became the captain of a destroyer. While participating in the Atlantic escort mission, I led my destroyer to sink several German submarines.
After being promoted for merit, I was sent to the Pacific battlefield to participate in the military operation to blockade Japan. During this process, I saw the strength of the air force in the Pacific Fleet and took the initiative to learn flying and aircraft carrier tactics.
Later, he stayed in Japan for a period of time as an occupation force before returning to China.
Since I was the only Brazilian naval officer who had been exposed to aircraft carrier tactics, it was natural for me to become the commander of Brazil’s first aircraft carrier fleet.”
The two were stunned as they listened to Fang Lang's introduction to his military career. This experience was much more exciting than theirs.
John Kennedy spoke directly and excitedly:
"Hey! Fang, you are simply a legend, you know that?
I was born in the army, made many achievements in the navy, and took the initiative to learn flying skills, becoming the commander of an aircraft carrier formation. My God! Compared with you, my war career is not outstanding at all. "
Lawrence Bell, who had been watching the two young men chatting, asked curiously after hearing Fang Lang's experience:
"Fang, did you teach yourself to become a pilot?"
Looking at Lawrence Bell with a curious look on his face, Fang Lang was a little surprised. Could this old man also be a pilot? He was actually curious about whether he was a pilot!
But he still nodded seriously and said:
"Yes sir! I can fly an F4F Wildcat.
Are you a pilot too?"
Hearing this, Lawrence Bell shook his head slightly sadly and said:
"I'm not a pilot, I'm a mechanic! My brother Grover Bell was an excellent pilot, but unfortunately he died in a flying accident."
John Kennedy saw that Lawrence Bell was a little sad, and he quickly said:
"Mr. Bell is the owner of Bell Aircraft Company. During World War II, they manufactured many aircraft for the United States."
Fang Lang was shocked when he heard this. Bell Aircraft Company? Could it be the later Bell Helicopter Company? He immediately asked:
"Is that the Bell Aircraft company that makes helicopters?"
Bell was not as famous as he was later, so when Lawrence Bell heard that Fang Lang actually knew about his company, he was a little surprised and said:
"Oh! Have you heard of my company?"
Fang Lang had no idea what products Bell currently had, he only knew that the famous Osprey V-22 tilt-rotor helicopter seemed to be a product of this company.
There is also the UH-1 Huey helicopter, the most powerful weapon equipped by the US military during the Vietnam War, which is also the company's flagship product.
He looked at John Kennedy, who launched the Vietnam War, and then at Mr. Lawrence Bell, the owner of Bell Helicopter Company, and he seemed to have a flash of enlightenment in his heart.
It turns out that the people sitting here are either war profiteers or arms dealers! After all this time, the big consortium behind Harvard University, the Boston Consortium, is made up of a group of war profiteers and arms dealers!
This is really ironic!
However, Fang Lang only complained in his heart and certainly would not show it. After all, the Vietnam War was fought with the blood of the American people and the tax money of the American people, and it was none of his business.
If he could establish a good relationship with John Kennedy, his company might be able to get some Vietnam War logistics contract orders. This would be an opportunity to earn dollars and should not be missed easily.
