Chapter 249: Choosing the Hall Master(1/2)
In Sao Paulo in May, the weather has already brought a hint of coolness, and the coats taken off by people in the northern hemisphere have begun to appear on the residents of Sao Paulo.
This is the second time Fang Lang has returned home after traveling through time. The first time was as the captain of a Brazilian navy transport ship. He took Blackwell's jeep home and saw his original family for the first time. He felt a little uneasy.
But this time it was completely different. There was a relaxed and natural feeling of finally returning to my hometown.
On the way from the airport to his home, Fang Lang found that Sao Paulo had changed tremendously. The changes were most obvious when he drove around the city of Sao Paulo and headed to the port of Santos.
When passing by the industrial park that he originally negotiated with the city government, Fang Lang discovered that the current park was no longer what it was originally negotiated for, and was more than ten times larger than before.
After leaving the city, there are tall factories or factories still under construction along the road.
It is completely different from the scenery of farmland everywhere when I passed by for the first time.
Fortunately, when he entered his village, the scenery returned to what he was familiar with.
Obviously, the development of Fangyuan Group deliberately avoided the village where he was born. After entering the village this time, Fang Lang found that the population of the village seemed to have decreased a lot.
Only some old people are still busy working in the farmland. I guess all the villagers have gone to work in factories during the day!
After all, the first priority recruited by Fangyuan Group is the villagers from the same village.
The family's house has not changed much, and it seems that my father has no plans to change this old house.
"Mom!"
When Fang Lang returned home, he habitually shouted outside the door. This had nothing to do with his status.
No matter how well you do outside, you are still your mother's son when you come home.
This cry contains too many emotions.
"Hey! Is Lang'er back?"
Soon, a crowd of people came out of the house cheering.
Before departure, I called my family and told them that I was going home today, and repeatedly told everyone not to go to the airport to pick me up. It seems that my family members have been notified and are waiting at home.
Because Zhuang Xintian was participating in training at the base, Fang Lang returned home this time with a guard platoon that was driven back to China and retrained after making mistakes in the United States.
Adjutant Qi Qingshan serves as the commander.
The long motorcade did not attract everyone's attention. After all, these were the vehicles arranged by Fangyuan Group to the airport.
But after the car door opened, the guards with loaded guns and ammunition dispersed to the surrounding areas, which shocked everyone.
Fortunately, everyone knows that Fang Lang's current identity is already extraordinary. Although he is a little nervous, he is not afraid.
Fang Lang saw everyone's reactions and quickly stepped forward to greet everyone one by one. Everyone was slowly getting used to it.
However, my grandfather has had related experiences after all, so he seems much more casual.
Seeing that his grandfather was still in good spirits and in high spirits, and seemed to be in better health than the last time they met, Fang Lang was very happy and pulled the old man to greet him.
The old man was obviously very happy to see that his eldest grandson had become successful. While chatting with Fang Lang, he also looked at the vigilant soldiers around him.
After discovering Qi Qingshan following Fang Lang, he took the initiative to ask:
"Is this the boss of the Qi family? I haven't seen him for a few years, but he seems to be more energetic."
As an adjutant, Qi Qingshan and Fang Lang are from the same village, so they all know Fang Lang's family members.
Hearing the old man of the Fang family greeting him, he quickly stepped forward and said:
"Grandpa Fang, you still remember me! I haven't seen you for many years, and you are becoming more and more energetic.
But I’m still a little embarrassed when I see your crutch.”
After saying that, he still looked scared.
It made everyone burst into laughter.
It turns out that Qi Qingshan and Fang Lang were very naughty when they were studying at home. They were both gangsters who didn't have sex for three days. Therefore, like Fang Lang, they enjoyed the education of Mr. Fang's crutch.
After hearing Qi Qingshan's words, Mr. Fang also laughed and cursed:
"You bastard, you've become successful now.
No wonder I heard your old man say a few days ago that he wanted to find you a wife!"
This made Qi Qingshan feel a little embarrassed, but the look of expectation in his eyes still couldn't escape Fang Lang's eyes.
Fang Lang smiled and said:
"We are all back home. You can go back to your own home to spend time with your parents and family. You don't have to follow me.
I have nothing to do at home.
Hurry up and go back and see if your old man has fallen in love with that girl."
Although they, the Chinese living in Brazil, have accepted Brazil’s local free love customs.
However, for those men and women who have not yet found a partner when they reach the age of marriage, they will still arrange blind dates in the village according to the tradition of their hometown.
Because of the shy character of the Chinese people, in fact, there are not as many people who fall in love freely than those who rely on blind dates.
This is also the main reason why this Chinese village has been able to maintain its Chinese ancestry in the third generation.
Qi Qingshan was also very happy when he heard that Fang Lang gave him a holiday. After all, this is also his hometown. When he is near his home, it is impossible not to want to go home and have a look.
After saluting Fang Lang with a military salute, he said hello to everyone.
After turning around and explaining a few words to the guard platoon leader, I couldn't wait to pick up my luggage in the car and go home.
After watching Qi Qingshan leave, everyone slowly walked into the house.
In addition to Fang Lang's mother, there are also grandfather and younger brother at home today.
My uncle, aunt and uncle's two children are also there.
My father is still at the company and has not returned. According to my mother, he will not come home until after get off work in the afternoon.
After all, Fang Xinshan is now the chairman of Fangyuan Group, and his work is still very busy.
What surprised Fang Lang the most was that Fang Lang's uncle Fang Xinshui was also at home.
"Uncle, aren't you in charge of immigration and labor recruitment in your hometown?
When did you come back?"
After this period of training, Fang Xinshui looks much more mature than before.
But in front of his nephew, who is also his boss, he still behaves very casually.
"It's been a week since I came back. All the work in my hometown has been smoothed out, and the relationships in various places have been opened up.
It doesn’t really matter whether I’m there or not.
Didn't Hongmen tell me that they were going to open a court in Brazil, so I rushed back in a hurry?"
Fang Lang is not surprised that Fang Xinshui knows about this.,
After all, the other party was responsible for the initial negotiation with Hongmen, and he was also responsible for the subsequent liaison work.
If Hongmen wants to enter Brazil, he will definitely test his tone immediately to see his attitude.
"Oh! I wonder what your attitude is towards Hongmen opening a church in Brazil?"
Although Fang Lang had already agreed in New York to let Hongmen open a church in Brazil, according to Fang Lang's plan, the family must not only get involved in the underworld completely, but also must have its own spokesperson in the underworld.
And Fang Xinshui is exactly what Fang Lang thinks is the best person to take charge of this area.
"If it were the original one, I would definitely have rejected it without even thinking about it.
After all, Brazil is our territory, how can we let others interfere?
However, this time I gained experience in my hometown.
It turns out that many high-level officials in the government are from Hongmen, so our labor recruitment work in our hometown went so smoothly.
It is inevitable that there will definitely be many people from Hongmen in this immigration.
Therefore, it is impossible for us to completely deny Hongmen people entry into Brazil."
Fang Xinshui's experience in his hometown must have subverted many of his perceptions.
That’s why I express such emotion about Hongmen’s ability.
Of course Fang Lang knew that there were many Hongmen people in the government. This was known to everyone in later generations. Even Chiang Kai-shek had joined the Qinggang in his early years.
It’s not surprising that some of the officials below are from Hongmen.
"Then you said that your return was related to the Hongmen's establishment of a church in Brazil. What? Did the other party invite you to attend the ceremony?"
Unexpectedly, Fang Xinshui shook his head and said with a look of embarrassment:
"If I just watched the ceremony, I wouldn't have to rush back to Brazil from my hometown.
I have been hesitating about this matter at home for a few days, and I originally wanted to go to you for an idea.
No, it just so happens that you are back, so I don’t need to look for you."
Seeing Fang Xinshui's embarrassment, Fang Lang couldn't help but frown. When he was in New York, Fang Jin'ao just proposed to set up a Hongmen hall in Brazil!
He didn't make any excessive demands, so why did Fang Xinshui act so embarrassed?
