Chapter 1468 The Money Power of Multinational Corporations (Third update, please subscribe)

Unparalleled romance!
In the next few days, newspapers and television will be discussing "We Who Came From the Stars". Perhaps historians will argue there, but for the vast majority of ordinary people, what do they feel?
It is a kind of inner pride!

Such pride not only resonated locally, but even on the other side of the ocean, Jason, who was sitting on the plane, also felt a certain resonance.

"The Romans said they were wolf children, and the wolf cubs were their origin, and the Milky Way... we came from the Milky Way, so we want to conquer the stars."

On the plane, Jason pointed out the window and spoke to his son.

"Kailesi...I..."

Kailes pointed at the starry sky outside the porthole and said:

"I am Galaxy!"

The child, who was less than three years old, looked at his father and switched to Chinese and said:
"I am the Milky Way."

Jason laughed out loud at his son's words.
"Yes, you are Galaxy," and Annie also laughed. Galaxy is her son's name, and it also means galaxy or Milky Way in English.

Although the two or three-year-old child was full of energy, he soon fell asleep. After her son fell asleep, Annie sat in Jason's arms and said:

"Honey, do you think Dad will support your decision?"

Facing his wife's question, Jason shook his head and said:
"I just came to ask for his opinion."

In other words, he would do it regardless of whether his father agreed or not.

After more than ten hours of flight, the Gulfstream plane from New York finally landed at Chang'an International Airport. After the plane landed, Jason and his family drove out of the airport through a private passage.

However, the car did not go to the official residence, but to a "private residence" in Genting Highlands. As usual, the whole family was there, and it was as lively as usual.

After a brief chat with his younger brothers and sisters, Jason walked into the study with his father. After entering the study, Li Yian took out a cigar from the cigar box and threw it to his son.

He took the cigar his father threw to him and cut off the other end with a cigar pliers. The father and son started smoking the cigar and chatting.

"Already decided?"

After taking a puff of his cigar, Li Yian asked:
"The company's interests must be guaranteed!"

Jason, holding a cigar, said directly:
"Last year, Kennedy's attitude on the issue of nationalization was extremely ambiguous, so Brazil's Goulart tried to promote the nationalization policy of iron ore! But now the White House has clearly opposed the nationalization policy of other countries and believes that Brazil may turn to Russia. The Brazilian military also believes that Goulart is serving Brazil on a plate to Russia. They must take action before Russia completely destroys Brazil, so they will act soon."

Li Yian did not say anything while listening to his son's story. The first link of the international chain reaction caused by Kennedy's assassination was in Brazil!

Brazil also had a period of rapid industrialization and was regarded as the infrastructure fanatic of Latin America. This golden age of Brazil lasted almost the entire 1950s.

In the mid-to-late 15s, Brazil's oil production increased 2 times, steel production doubled, and Brazil added kilometers of highways. In addition, the tobacco industry, electrical equipment, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, electricity and other sectors all showed strong growth. A typical representative of Brazil's industrialization achievements is the automobile industry. Automobile giants from various countries have invested in Brazil, including Wuling and Volkswagen.

His most famous political achievement, which also marks Brazil's status as the infrastructure maniac in Latin America of this era, is the new capital of Brazil, which was built in just three years. Construction companies under several companies, including Hotai Construction, also participated in the construction of this project.

Over the past few years, the company has been deeply involved in construction in Brazil.

It is also because of this that Li Yian knows what President João Goulart has done in the past few years.

This leader of the Brazilian Workers' Party took over the presidency three years ago amid opposition from the military. His predecessor, President Quadros, was also left-wing, and his friendly attitude towards Cuba angered the conservatives. Facing attacks from conservatives, Quadros submitted his resignation to Congress three years ago. In fact, he originally wanted to learn from Charles de Gaulle of France and force Congress to retain him by resigning and grant him the same power as Charles de Gaulle.

But he was obviously wrong. Both the right wing that opposed him and Vice President João Goulart, who formed a coalition government with him, were very happy to see him resign. Especially for Vice President João Goulart, the president's resignation meant that he could ascend to the presidency.

However, Joao Goulart was strongly opposed by the military from the beginning of his succession. In the eyes of the military, this guy was simply "a spokesperson for Russia." However, the military's opposition gave rise to a nationwide "legitimacy" movement, in which members of the movement demanded that the military respect Goulart's legitimate power as the successor to the presidency. The backbone of this movement includes not only the Brazilian Labor Party and the left-wing coalition groups, but also centrist politicians and military officers who believe that only respect for the constitution can guarantee Brazil's future.

In short, Goulart became president despite opposition from the military. As soon as he came to power, he took some radical reform measures, from promoting land reform to promoting nationalization policies.

The military was even allowed to establish unions, and soldiers had the right to join unions and take measures to protect their rights like ordinary workers.

When it comes to having a wild imagination, President Goulart is definitely the best.

To be honest, the most abnormal thing is that the Brazilian military has not yet driven this guy out of power.

"They should have done it a long time ago!"

Looking at his son, Li Yian said:

"I don't judge those people's cakes that Goulart touched by pushing land reform and nationalization policies, but when he allowed the army to form trade unions, to hold public meetings, and to refuse to obey orders, this president was no longer necessary.

As president, he turned everything into a tool for power struggle, even at the cost of destroying national defense. Such a president..."

With a cold smile, Li Yian said:
"What's the point of keeping it?"

Sometimes, some politicians really cannot be judged because the military does not support their policies - refuses to be a tool in their hands and forcefully promotes their policies despite opposition from the opposition. They try to promote their policies by destroying and weakening the military.

All I can say is that the Brazilian army is too weak. If it were someone else, they would have already "conspired to do something big".

However, Li Yian didn't care about Gulat's fate, he cared more about what his son wanted. "So, what is your purpose?"

"The company's interests must be protected, and the company will provide $1500 million in funding to the opposition and the military to help them carry out their next actions."

Jason thought for a moment and said:

“In return, they will suspend the nationalization of the iron ore mines after this is over.”

“Can this promise be guaranteed?”

Li Yian asked back:

“Are promises made by politicians or by others?”

"It was General Castillo Branco, the Chief of the Army Staff. His representatives said that they would respect international business rules and believed that business rules were the foundation of international trade and national economic development and must be guaranteed under any circumstances!"

Jason thought for a moment and added:
"It's not just us. Several other large multinational companies have also expressed their support for it, and they also need us to provide corresponding financial support. After all, Brazil's finances are extremely tight at the moment, and they need financial help from outside.

I believe that after they succeed, they will make concessions on many issues in order to gain our support.”

Why did multinational corporations have such great influence in many countries after the war? To put it bluntly, it was because of the money in their hands.

Those countries, especially developing countries, cannot do without the financial support provided by multinational corporations, and of course their investments. Therefore, to a large extent, the bosses of multinational corporations are the uncrowned kings.

If necessary, they would even overthrow a president.

Just like now, when their cake was touched by others, the fate that awaited Gulat was already doomed.

This is the power of multinational corporations. These multinational corporations may only have a certain influence in their own countries, but in some countries, they can even influence a country.

In fact, Li Yian is also paying attention to Brazil. But that is the backyard of the United States, so let the Americans handle the matter. Just like now, the Americans can't hold on before he takes action.

After that playboy had his creative ideas, the United States was finally brought back to the "right path" as an imperialist country!

"Other than that?"

Li Yian looked at his son and asked.

"You must have other ideas about Brazil."

"Yes,"

Jason replied:
"I think this is an opportunity to expand influence in Brazil, and after they deal with Goulart, there will be a realignment of power in Brazil.

In this process, a new class of power will emerge, and by participating in it, they will receive corresponding rewards.”

After a brief pause, Jason added:
“The U.S. is more Mellon-based, while Brazil…I hope to make new progress there.”

Listening to his son's answer and looking at him, Li Yian nodded slightly. How could he not understand what his son meant?

He hopes to use this opportunity to expand his influence in Brazil.

"Your idea is not wrong, but you must understand that after a military coup, a military government will definitely come to power. In many cases, wealth is worthless in the face of guns and cannons."

Li Yian reminded:

"And economically, no matter how promising Brazil is now, it is actually far behind the United States."

This is a reminder as a father. After all, he knows very well that money is sometimes invincible, but sometimes vulnerable to power.

"I know,"

Jason nodded and said:
"The United States is the foundation. Only by relying on the influence of the United States can Brazil be made to be cautious and not dare to act rashly..."

As a businessman, Jason knew very well that without the backing of the United States, he would be nothing more than a piece of fat meat in the eyes of the military government. But with the backing of the United States, he could use the money in his hands to stir up trouble in Brazil and even control everything in that country.

The premise is that there must be something to rely on behind the ability to use money, and for now, the United States is his backer.

"So as to gain greater influence. The world is so big that we can't be confined to one place. Just like what you said, father, our journey is to the sea of ​​stars. I think that may be my sea of ​​stars!"

Looking at his son who already had his own ideas, Li Yian nodded and said:

"Since you have decided, just do it!"

Looking at his son, Li Yian smiled.

Our journey...
