MTL - Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat-Chapter 408 unexpected visitor

  Chapter 408 Unexpected Visitor

  Five days passed quickly, and the Morgan family never contacted Fang Lang again during this period, and Fang Lang didn't care about it.

  After all, my idea of ​​wanting to take a stake in General Electric will definitely cause discomfort to the Morgan consortium, and the other party's failure to reply in time must also be expressing an attitude to Fang Lang.

   As for when we will find an opportunity to talk again, or when the two sides will find a way to go down, it is still unclear.

   During these five days, Fang Lang was not idle. In addition to taking the opportunity to inspect various branches of the Global Group, he also introduced the investigation department of the Fangyuan Group to the Global Group.

   Further strengthened his control over the Universal Group, Fang Lang knew very well that with the launch of the European aid plan, the Universal Group will definitely achieve rapid development.

  Especially the iron and steel enterprises and shipyards of the Universal Group, as planned, will start aggressive acquisitions around the world, expanding production capacity and merging factories. Expand Global Steel and Global Shipbuilding into the world's leading enterprises.

  In this case, Fang Lang must strengthen his ability to control his subordinate industries.

In addition to the establishment of the investigation department of the Universal Group, the financial control of the subsidiaries of the Universal Group has been strengthened again, and a special accounting firm has been established separately, and excellent professional accountants have been recruited from all over the world. Conduct monitoring and auditing.

   At the same time, after Zolph Henry's unremitting efforts day and night, the preparations for the dinner were finally successfully completed within five days.

   On the same day, around five o'clock in the afternoon, guests began to enter the venue continuously. As the boss, Fang Lang did not greet these guests outside the manor, but Wan Chongxin was responsible for receiving them at the gate of the manor.

   It's not that Fang Lang is neglecting the guests. In fact, Fang Lang is not just to meet and discuss business with these Universal Group partners.

  In addition to participating in the company's construction in the early stage, he actually did not participate in the company's actual business management.

  But it will also have a certain impact on actual business hosts like Wan Chongxin, so the purpose of his holding this dinner has been on the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family from the very beginning.

  So, he is only going to show up in person to thank all the guests, and the rest of the time is spent on negotiating with the Morgan family again.

  However, things often don't go according to his plan, just when Fang Lang accompanied Lilith and Vivian in the master room of the manor while tasting the red wine and talking about love.

  The new housekeeper, Zolph Henry, knocked on the door hurriedly, blushing and excited, and said in an excited tone:

   "Sir, sir, General Marshall is here, do you need to come and receive him personally?"

  When I was having **** with my two girlfriends, I was startled when I heard this, and asked a little puzzled?

   "General Marshall? That General Marshall?"

  Fang Lang himself is the rear admiral of Brazil, so he is not surprised by the generals in the army, let alone an American general, who obviously has no affiliation with him, so he doesn't care too much.

  He thought in his heart that the other party was one of the behind-the-scenes shareholders of Shata Company, and it didn't matter if he came forward to receive him, but he didn't need to post it urgently.

  This will make you look very LOW.

   Zolph Henry saw Fang Lang's obviously casual attitude, and quickly explained:

  "A five-star general of the United States, former Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army Mr. George Cartlett Marshall."

  As soon as he heard that it was the five-star general Marshall who had served as the chief of staff of the US Army, Fang Lang immediately understood the identity of the other party. This is a real big man, the future US Secretary of State, the proposer of the European aid plan.

   Even the later European aid plan was named directly after the "Marshall Plan".

  He never thought that the banquet he held would attract such a big fish. Thinking that it was the European aid plan he proposed later, obviously, the other party must also be closely related to the major consortiums participating in this plan.

  The direct appearance here this time must be related to the communication between the Morgan consortium and himself, which made Fang Lang frown. Although Fang Lang wanted to participate in the European aid plan.

But he doesn't want to get too involved in American politics. After all, he still has the status of a Brazilian rear admiral. While being close to such a big man in the United States can bring him great benefits, he will also more or less bring about some negative effects.

  However, since the other party has already come to the door, it is obviously impossible for Fang Lang to avoid it. This will offend the incoming US Secretary of State and the nominal leader of the European aid plan.

  So, he had no choice but to pat Lilith and Vivian who were leaning on him, and signaled them to get up and go down with him to meet each other.

   Seeing this, Zolph Henry quickly gestured to the two maids outside the door, before Fang Lang understood what it meant. As the housekeeper, Zolph Henry had already walked up to Fang Lang quickly, and carefully began to tidy up Fang Lang's appearance.

   Tidying up the wrinkled suits that had been made out of being intimate with Lilith and Vivian, the two maids also came to Lilith and Vivian to tidy up their respective outfits.

   This made Lilith and Vivienne very uncomfortable, thinking that these two maids were going to do something.

Fortunately, Fang Lang has accepted this kind of service from Zolph Henry every day these days, and he has already developed a certain degree of immunity. After understanding the other party's meaning, he just opened his arms casually and let Zolph Henry organize it for himself .

  Lilith wanted to decline at first, but after Fang Lang nodded at her, she had to follow Fang Lang's example and let the maid serve her.

   On the contrary, Vivienne seemed to find it very novel. After she understood what the other party wanted to do, she just followed Fang Lang's example and watched the maid arrange her clothes.

   Fang Lang said casually while accepting Zolph Henry's service:

   "Where's Mr. Marshall?"

   Zolph Henry, holding a horsehair brush in his hand, concentrated on arranging Fang Lang's suit, and replied:

   "Mr. Marshall has already entered the gate, and should have entered the banquet hall by now. Mr. Wan is coming out to receive the other party."

  Hearing the words, Fang Lang nodded indifferently.

  At this moment, Zolph Henry couldn't help admiring Fang Lang. After all, even a British butler who pays attention to etiquette, was a little panicked when he heard that a big man like General Marshall came here suddenly.

  However, the young new boss of himself was very calm and calm, exuding a radiance of confidence all over his body, which made him a little ashamed.

   Thinking about being with the original boss, but never having the opportunity to get in touch with a big shot at this level, he is extremely grateful for his choice at this moment.

In fact, Fang Lang was thinking in his mind, what is the purpose of the future Secretary of State coming uninvited, it is certain that it must be related to the European aid plan, but what to discuss with himself makes Fang Lang a little bit Confuse.

  Fang Lang's suit was originally prepared for tonight's dinner party, so there was no need to rearrange it. Zolph Henry finished the folds he saw in a few clicks.

   Turning around and seeing the two maids have also finished their work, they whispered to Fang Lang:

   "Sir, it's all right."

  Hearing the words, Fang Lang turned his head and glanced at the two beauties beside him, seeing that they were also ready, he said casually:

   "In that case, let's go meet our former Army Chief of Staff."

  He said this, of course, hoping to make Lilith and Vivian less nervous. After all, no matter how high the military rank was, a retired general is definitely not as deterrent as a serving general.

   After hearing Fang Lang's words, the two girls were still a little nervous, but they relaxed a little. After all, it was the first time for the two girls to participate in such a banquet as the hosts.

  They also invited several of their friends to this banquet. At first they thought it was just a simple reception, but now they found that things were obviously not as simple as they imagined.

  A former American five-star general came uninvited and already explained a lot of problems. Of course, they were very worried that their performance would affect Fang Lang's face.

   As for the two sisters accompanying Fang Lang to such a banquet, they didn't take it seriously.

   Listening to Fang Lang's somewhat casual tone, the two slowly relaxed, holding Fang Lang's left and right arms respectively, and slowly walked towards the banquet venue.

   When Fang Lang and the others came to the banquet scene, they quickly attracted the attention of everyone in the venue.

  First of all, it was Fang Lang and the others who entered the venue and did not enter through the guest entrance. Obviously, this young Asian is the host of today's banquet.

  Secondly, it is because of the two beautiful beauties beside Fang Lang. These two are rare beauties, but at this moment they are holding the arms of this Asian young man from left to right.

  If Fang Lang is a middle-aged man, everyone may wonder if Fang Lang is the father of two beauties. Men who think they are qualified may start to talk to them.

  But Fang Lang's age is here, and everyone knows that these two must be this young Asian woman, and everyone casts envious eyes on Fang Lang.

   Fang Lang didn't seem to care about this. At this moment, he had already seen it at a glance. Surrounded by many people, he looked like an elderly white man with gray hair who was surrounded by stars.

  The other party obviously noticed the movement here, and their eyes were looking in Fang Lang's direction at the moment, and the eyes of the two met in the air. With just this one glance, the two seemed to have traveled through thousands of years and found the right goal.

  Fang Lang smiled and nodded slightly at the other party, and the other party also smiled kindly, and nodded at Fang Lang. Then the two walked towards each other tacitly.

  Fang Lang in his previous life didn't know much about Marshall. He only knew that he proposed the European recovery plan during his tenure as Secretary of State. And in this life, when he was preparing to participate in this plan, he focused on investigating him in detail.

   Therefore, Fang Lang now actually knows Marshall very well. This is a late blooming general. It was not until he was 55 years old that he finally obtained the status of a brigadier general of the United States.

   But at the age of 58, he was appointed as the chief of staff of the US Army. Everyone knows that the rank of general is more difficult to promote, but Marshall is the complete opposite. It took him thirty-nine years to be promoted from a cadet to a brigadier general.

  It took only three years to go from a brigadier general to an army chief of staff temporarily holding the rank of general. It was also after he served as the army chief of staff that Germany began to invade Poland.

  He discovered with a keen eye that the United States was bound to be involved in the war, so he immediately began active military expansion and preparations, rapidly expanding the US army, which originally had only 200,000 regular troops.

  By the end of the war, the number of American troops had soared to nearly nine million.

  He is also one of the few American generals in the United States who has not experienced actual front-line combat. Although he has experienced two world wars, he has served as a staff officer most of the time.

   But it is such a person, but his prestige in the American army is unparalleled. George Patton, Eisenhower, and MacArthur are all famous generals discovered by him.

  In 1943, the U.S. Congress even agreed to grant him the rank of "Field Marshal", which had never appeared in American history, but he flatly refused.

   It was precisely because of his refusal that the United States never established the rank of Marshal.

   Regarding the fact that he is about to meet such a great historical figure, it is impossible to say that Fang Lang is not nervous at all.

   But after so many years of training, he has also become a character who can't express his emotions. No matter how high history evaluates Marshall, he can't take the initiative to post it.

   After all, this will only make the other party look down on him, so he was very indifferent throughout the whole process. He had seen Marshall's photo a long time ago, so he could find him in the crowd at a glance.

  The lively scene around him didn't have much influence on Fang Lang at all, because he didn't know most of the people around him. Although others knew that he might be the owner of the manor, they didn't know his specific information.

  So, it's not good to take the initiative to get up. I can only inquire about Fang Lang's identity with the executives of the Universal Group around me. When they learned that Fang Lang is the boss behind the Universal Group, they were all very surprised.

   You must know that it is very rare for an Asian to achieve such a huge achievement in the United States where racial discrimination is serious.

  Next, something even more surprising happened before everyone's eyes. The hero and pride in the eyes of the American people, General Marshall, who took the initiative to appear at the dinner, walked out of the crowd and walked straight towards the other party.

   This is more shocking than many people knowing that the boss of Universal Group is an Asian. After all, several of Universal's top executives are Asian.

   While everyone was still surprised, Fang Lang and General Marshall had already clasped hands.

  As the master, Fang Lang certainly couldn't lose his courtesy, and said very enthusiastically:

   "It's a pleasure meeting you, Mr. Marshall. Your presence makes the humble house shine!"

  Fang Lang knew very well that General Marshall was a China hand, because as early as 1924, he was sent to his hometown of Jinmen, where he served as the deputy head and chief staff officer of the 15th Infantry Regiment of the US Army stationed in Jinmen.

  He learned Chinese during the second time, so Fang Lang didn't worry at all that the other party couldn't understand what he said.

   Sure enough, after hearing Fang Lang's words, General Marshall responded directly in Chinese:

   "Mr. Fang, I took the liberty, I hope I won't disturb you!"

  Fang Lang also laughed quickly:

   "Haha. I can't even invite a distinguished guest like you, so why would I bother you?"

   Then looked at more and more people around, winked at each other and said:

   "I wonder if Mr. Marshall is interested in going upstairs with me?"
