Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

 Chapter 724 Impact

Fang Lang absolutely does not believe that the United States will give up interfering in Brazil's internal affairs again. However, after this rebellion, the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs did make serious representations with the United States. And protested this matter at the United Nations General Assembly.

Make your position very clear. If the U.S. government does not want to completely fall out with Brazil, they should learn to stop.

After all, after this incident, public opinion in other countries put great pressure on the U.S. government. In addition, in the competition between the United States and the Soviet Union during this period, the United States did not gain an absolute advantage, and was even slightly at a disadvantage.

The Soviet government clearly stood up to support Brazil in this matter, and the rapidly warming diplomatic relations between the Brazilian government and the Soviet government also put tremendous diplomatic pressure on the U.S. government.

To this end, the U.S. Ambassador to Brazil even paid a low-key visit to Fang Lang again, repeatedly emphasizing the deep friendship between Brazil and the United States, and reminding Fang Lang overtly and covertly of the U.S. government’s strong support for Universal Group’s industries.

Fang Lang also made his attitude very clear to the other party. He strongly condemned the shameless behavior of the American CIA in trying to subvert the Brazilian government. He also recognized the profound friendship between the two countries, and at the same time expressed his long-standing good impression of the United States and the position that both sides belong to the capitalist social camp.

Finally, he said that if the U.S. government can re-examine and recognize Brazil's identity as an ally of the United States, he will find ways to maintain the normalization of Brazil-U.S. relations. Of course, the U.S. government also needs to pay a small price for this. These costs are mainly related to advanced science and technology exchanges between Fangyuan Group and American high-tech enterprises.

 From beginning to end, Fang Lang never mentioned asking the U.S. government to admit their mistakes, nor did he ask the U.S. government to explicitly compensate Brazil. Because this is simply impossible, and everyone knows this.

Fang Lang proposed exchanges between Fangyuan Group and American high-tech enterprises. In the eyes of Americans, this is the price the U.S. government needs to pay to persuade Fang Lang to promote policy changes in the Brazilian government. And this price is too simple for politicians who are good at exchanging interests.

This also allowed them to see a new way to control Brazil. After all, Americans are well aware of Fang Lang's family's influence on Brazilian politics. Otherwise, he, the American ambassador, would not have come to communicate with Fang Lang. .

Afterwards, the Brazilian government did not continue to delve into the matter. The U.S. government further confirmed the Fang family's influence on the Brazilian government. To this end, they began to adjust their direction and strengthen the depth of cooperation between U.S. companies and Fangyuan Group. Fangyuan Group, thereby achieving the purpose of indirectly influencing Brazilian politics.

Fang Lang also turned a blind eye to this. In addition to reminding Fangyuan Group to be more vigilant against Americans, he did not refuse such cooperation.

This has brought huge benefits to the Fang family. The first person to benefit is the Fangyuan Aircraft Manufacturing Company. Although the United States has its own advanced military fighter jets, it has no interest in the extended fighter jets of the Yuan Yuan Group.

However, the jetliner developed by Fangyuan Group has easily obtained the U.S. airworthiness certificate. With the U.S. airworthiness certificate, Europe's airworthiness problems will naturally be solved. Next, orders for commercial passenger aircraft produced by Fangyuan Group in Europe and the United States began to soar rapidly.

 At the same time, the G3 assault rifle and MP5 submachine gun developed by Fangyuan Military Industrial Group have also been favored by some US military forces, and many orders have been placed with Fangyuan Military Industrial Group, which makes the Brazilian government very excited.

In the past, Brazil purchased military equipment from the United States, but now the United States actually purchases it from Brazil. What does this mean? It means that the equipment produced in Brazil is more advanced than that of the United States. Brazilians' national self-confidence is unprecedentedly high, and their identification with the Yuan Group is also high. Reached unprecedented heights.

With the American precedent, Europe is naturally not far behind. Everyone has paid attention to Brazil, an emerging military equipment power. The trainers, fighter jets, transport aircraft, helicopters developed by Embraer, and even the Tiger-1 tanks that the Army has just begun to equip. Navy destroyers and conventionally powered submarines have all entered the sight of governments of various countries.

 Compared to the high prices of U.S. equipment and the accompanying political conditions, Brazil is obviously much purer. Not only are its products high-quality and low-priced, but they are also large in quantity and fully managed. There are absolutely no strings attached. Just sell it if you give me money. This has allowed Brazil to rise rapidly in the world arms market and obtain a large number of orders.

As a result, Fangyuan Group's military industry group has received a large amount of research funding, and the progress of equipment research and development has been significantly accelerated. The most obvious thing is that various missiles have been finalized, and even Americans can't help but look at them with side eyes.

 After achieving such results, the relationship between Fangyuan Group and the military will naturally become closer. In addition, Fang Lang's influence in the army will also increase with the end of this rebellion. Slowly, the Brazilian army even began to feel vaguely like the bodyguards of the Fangyuan Group.

In addition to the military industry, Fangyuan Group has achieved the highest technological achievements in electronic computers, especially the development of silicon crystals based on Bell Labs in the United States, which has raised transistor technology to a whole new level.

It is precisely because of the successful research on silicon crystals, coupled with Fanglang's full support for electronic computers and its large investment regardless of cost, that Brazil has taken the lead in the field of electronic computers and has become one of the world's advanced ranks.

 The breakthrough in transistor technology, in addition to bringing huge benefits to the electronic computer industry, has also made the performance of Brazilian missiles and electronic equipment on aircraft worth flying. Make these products far more competitive in the market.

At the same time, because Fang Lang is a shareholder of Bell Labs, he had already learned that Bell Labs had developed transistors and an epoch-making mobile phone technology. Perhaps others are unsure of the future of this technology.

Fang Lang, who comes from a later generation, is very aware of how huge the communications field will be in the future. Therefore, we immediately obtained technical authorization for related products from Bell Labs.

And established a mobile communication technology company in Brazil, the United States and Europe. Of course, the initial scale of the company was not large, and it did not directly study future mobile phones at the first time. Instead, it launched the most popular mobile phone in the 1990s. BB machine technology.

 Prepare to gain a wave of harvest through BB technology first, and then start to enter the mobile phone era. Because, with Fang Lang's foresight and guidance, communication technology companies will naturally have to avoid many detours.

With the advent of transistor and mobile communication technology, Fangyuan Group has naturally taken the lead in the world in the field of electronic technology. Fang Lang believes that as long as he does not make any big mistakes, the income from this aspect alone will be able to guarantee the Fang family's future. One hundred years of wealth.

Of course, in addition to the European and American markets, Fang Lang has not forgotten the Asian market. After all, Japan and the Southern Peninsula, among the future Four Asian Tigers, have made great achievements in the electronics industry.

It can even be said that for the products of these two countries to become so famous in the world in the future, the leadership in the electronics industry will provide huge help. You can get a glimpse of this by looking at the famous Samsung and Sony in later generations.

 However, with the emergence of Fang Lang, the transistor technology of these two countries was limited from the beginning. If they want to produce equipment in this area, they can only purchase core parts from Fangyuan Group and assemble them locally. Fangyuan Group also prohibits them from engaging in research in this area. Once any company wants to carry out research in this area, it will encounter various resistances. In the end, these companies either went bankrupt and were liquidated, or were acquired and split by Fangyuan Group. It was completely reduced to an assembly plant of Fangyuan Group.

In the field of automobile manufacturing, the three automobile factories under Fangyuan Group also began technological expansion under the guidance of Fang Lang. After Porsche Brazil became a wholly-owned enterprise of Fangyuan Group, it was renamed Fangyuan Automobile.

Started to mass-produce Beetle cars and Fangyuan minivans. These two models quickly occupied the low-end civilian car field due to their simple structure, stable performance, and low price.

Fang Lang then began to learn from the development models of Volkswagen and Toyota, and began to allow Fangyuan Automobile to rapidly expand around the world. Through joint ventures with powerful capitalists in other countries to build factories, Fangyuan Automobile’s influence was expanded on a large scale.

˜Occupying and annexing the market of other car brands, Fangyuan cars quickly became popular around the world because of their affordable prices. Because Fangyuan Automobile took the lead, even the German Volkswagen was suppressed and was unable to fight back.

 In the end, it was directly absorbed by Fangyuan Automobile Group and became Fangyuan Automobile's joint venture factory in Europe.

The Fangyuan automobile factories in Asia naturally do not need joint ventures, because before the outbreak of the Peninsular War, Universal Group had already taken advantage of the cold winter period for Japanese automobiles to completely control a series of automobile factories such as Toyota, Nissan, and Mitsubishi.

During the Peninsular War, these factories produced a large number of military trucks for the United Nations Army. Unfortunately, unlike history, the owners of the factories were no longer Japanese, but the American capital tycoon Universal Group.

After the Peninsula War, Universal Group directly reached a cooperation agreement with Fangyuan Group. After integrating these factories, they directly became the Asian factory of Fangyuan Automobile Group.

In the U.S. market, Fangyuan Group directly established a local automobile factory with the help of Universal Group and the Rockefeller Consortium, allowing Fangyuan Automobile, a Brazilian brand, to directly enter the U.S. market.

 In the end, Fangyuan Motors became a global civilian car brand.

Unlike Fangyuan Automobile, Mercedes-Benz Brazil has chosen the mid-range route. Of course, Mercedes-Benz itself does not admit that they are a mid-range car brand, at least it is a high-end car brand. And the models they design and produce are indeed worthy of the positioning of high-end models.

 Among them, the most successful masterpieces are naturally the Mercedes-Benz 190SL named Mercedes-Benz-Rudolph by Fang Lang, and the Hutou Ben model with Fang Lang's handiwork.

I have to say that the appearance of these two models really shocked the entire automobile industry, allowing Brazilian Mercedes-Benz to instantly enter the ranks of the world's high-end cars. The products produced were out of stock, allowing Mercedes-Benz Brazil to make a lot of money.

Then, like Fangyuan Motors, Brazil's Mercedes-Benz entered an era of global expansion and directly absorbed its original parent company, Germany's Mercedes-Benz, becoming another world-class high-end car brand.

Different from the first two car companies, Fang Lang did not push Aston Martin quickly towards global expansion. Instead, Aston Martin was divided into three factories. One is focused on luxury customized business cars, the other is super sports cars that pursue extreme speed, and the other is inconspicuous but has a huge output of military off-road vehicles.

These three factories all have a common feature, that is, except for the British R&D base, they are only produced in Brazil. If other countries want to buy the brand's models, they can only choose to fully import them.

Although this will greatly restrict the development of the Aston Martin factory, Fang Lang does not particularly care about this. The purpose of doing this is to maintain Aston Martin's top luxury car brand image.

  After all, coming from a later generation, he knew that the truly top luxury brands such as Rolls-Royce and Bentley would never produce these truly top-level luxury cars in other countries.

What he wanted was to maintain the image of top-notch luxury customization, and in order to maintain the factory's normal profits, he also entrusted them with the production of military jeeps.

Of course, the specific design and production of luxury cars are not entirely completed in Brazil, because although the Aston Martin factory in the UK is mainly engaged in design and research and development, it also needs to survive. Sometimes there are some orders that have to be handed over to them for production.

With the rapid development of these three automobile brands, not only has Brazil's automobile industry been pushed onto the world's leading world stage, it has also pushed an automobile event that Fang Lang had casually arranged to an unprecedented height.

 Because of Brazil’s special plateau terrain, this track is extremely difficult. Coupled with the deliberate arrangement of Fangyuan Group, any passenger car must be tested on this track before it is put on the market and scored based on the vehicle's lap performance.

 The ability to achieve high scores on this track has been regarded as the selling point of the vehicle, which has slowly promoted this humble track to the world. Later, if cars produced by other brands did not perform well on this track, they would almost be embarrassed to sell them to the outside world.

 This has made this track, which was not very eye-catching, become a world-famous track. To this end, the Brazilian government cooperates with Brazilian TV to hold a car racing competition on this track every March and April.

With the participation of the three automobile giants under the Fangyuan Group, it is impossible not to think that the influence of this event is large. The event held here every year alone brings huge benefits to the local government, whether it is tourism or services. The industry has made extraordinary achievements.

 Compared to the high profile of the three automobile groups under Fangyuan Group, Fangyuan Group’s high-precision machine tool industry is much more low-key. To say it is low-key does not mean that the quality of its products is not good. On the contrary, the quality and precision of his products are world-leading in the specific field of machine tools.

Had it not been targeted by the United States for secretly selling high-precision machine tools to their hometown, and then being strongly suppressed by the United States around the world, this machine tool brand owned by Fangyuan Group would have become world-famous long ago.
