"1,000 security forces?" Chen Geng smiled: "Mr. Barros, do you think I will care about these things?"

Otavio Legu Barros's promise may sound generous, and even a bit of a "country within a state", but in fact it is not the case at all, compared to Mexico and Colombia, Brazil's situation is indeed much better, but this is only relatively good, otherwise the slums of Rio de Janeiro would be famous all over the world?

Therefore, because of the poor social security situation, Brazil is a country with very developed private security forces, even without the commitment of Otavio Legu Barros, Chen Geng can easily get the security force he needs - it is nothing more than the outsourcing of security needs, what is this worth? The most important thing is that it is not eye-catching, if Chen Geng agrees to this condition of Otavio Legu Barros, Chen Geng's industry in Brazil will be registered with the Franco government, which is not a good thing.

"Okay," Otavio Legu Barros shrugged, "and what do you need?"

"Energy," Chen Geng said without hesitation, "I need the Brazilian government to allow me to access the Brazilian electricity, coal and natural gas markets, and to have direct access to end users." ”

Otavio Legu Barros's eyes widened: "This can't be!"

He didn't expect Chen Geng's ambition to be so big, and he actually wanted to enter the Brazilian energy market?

In modern times, energy is the lifeblood of a country, and for any country, even a salted fish country, they will not easily open up their own energy market to the outside world - who is willing to easily put their neck under someone else's hands? Otavio Legu Barros's reaction could not be more normal.

Chen Geng didn't expect Otavio Legu Barros to say yes, energy security, which government would dare not pay attention to this matter? To put it mildly, Chen Geng was mentally prepared for the various difficulties that he might encounter when entering the Brazilian energy market. He smiled and said, "Mr. Barros, don't get so excited, I think that our cooperation is a win-win outcome, and I do not seek a monopoly, even a partial monopoly, in the Brazilian energy supply market." ”

Not seeking a monopoly?

Hearing Chen Geng's words, Otavio Legu Barros's face looked a lot better: "What do you say?"

Chen Geng: "You want me to invest, this is okay, no problem, but we must have our own power plant, as for why we need our own power plant, Mr. Barros you should know better than me, right?"

Even if Otavio Legu Barros is already an old and cunning politician, he still blushes slightly when he hears Chen Geng's words.

In Brazil, not only the social security situation is relatively bad, the corruption of the government is well-known all over the world, this, the early foreign investors who came to invest in Brazil are considered to have suffered greatly, but those foreign investors are huge, and the local government is not good to do things too blatantly, after some years of development, I don't know which local government invented the "power cut" This new model of extortion of foreign businessmen: whenever the local government hopes that the foreign investors who have landed "sponsor" At one o'clock, there will be some accidents at the local power plant.

Without electricity, the factory will naturally not be able to operate, and for foreign businessmen, the factory shutdown is the worst thing, and in order to restore the power supply to the power plant as soon as possible, they naturally do not mind sending some benefits.

However, this kind of thing is just once or twice, and after a long time, the power plant will always fail, and foreign businessmen are not stupid, so they will naturally understand what is going on.

Naturally, foreign businessmen are not easy to bully, and those foreign businessmen who invest in Brazil, such as Wolfsburg Automobile, are not enterprises with significant influence in the country where they are located? Naturally, they cannot tolerate this kind of blackmail.

It's just that the other side is the head snake, as the saying goes, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, the two sides in this repeated see-sawing, ripping, and finally gradually formed a new balance: Brazil allows foreign investors to build or jointly build their own power plants, and allow these self-provided power plants to provide electricity to residents within a little area of the surrounding area, but the power plant needs to submit a certain amount of "management fee" to the local government every year, as for how much this management fee, it depends on whether the local government is stronger or the enterprise is stronger in this game.

But for a politician of the level of Otavio Legu Barros, blushing is only a matter of moments, and he said: "Rumors! Definitely rumors! Mr. Fernández, I know that there are some bad things about Brazil, but please believe that these are just rumors, Brazil's energy supply is quite abundant and cheap, and we can provide cheap energy supply to any investor." ”

Although the Brazilian government allows some foreign investors to provide their own power plants when they build factories in Brazil, they are not very willing to open this opening easily, no way, the energy agency is quite loud in the government department, and for the energy sector, the last thing they are happy to see is that foreign investors in Brazil invest in their own factories - everyone has their own power plants, who will sell the electricity that Lao Tzu has worked so hard to send?

Since Otavio Legu Barros was not honest, Chen Geng didn't bother to argue with him: "Mr. Barros, it seems that we have a big difference, in this case, we might as well not discuss this issue for now." ”

Some people, when they have been the earth overlord for a long time, they really think that the earth revolves around him.

Otavio Legu Barros didn't expect Chen Geng to be so faceless, and a wave of anger rose in his heart, but looking at Chen Geng's ancient face again, he instantly became honest again: The person in front of him, let alone himself, even if he is his own boss, he doesn't dare to provoke easily......

Never mind!

Anyway, the purpose of replacing President Franco's temptation has been achieved, this guy is very strong, as for how to negotiate and give up those benefits in exchange for Fernandez Chen's investment, let His Excellency the President decide for himself.

..............................

To Chen Geng's surprise, when he got out of the car at the presidential palace, he found that Paul Cesa Silva actually appeared in the crowd to greet him.

This guy is just the senior executive vice president of Embraer, how can he appear here? Chen Geng's eyes narrowed: It's really interesting.

On such occasions, Chen Geng will not be surprised that there are high-level executives of Embraer, because he came to Brazil this time, and the object of cooperation on the surface is Embraer, and it is normal for Embraer shareholders, chairman or CEO to welcome him here, but Paolo Cesa Silva does not seem to be qualified to appear here.

"Mr. Fernandez, you seem to be a little surprised?" Paul Cesa Silva whispered when it was his turn to shake hands with Chen Geng.

"It's a little surprised," Chen Geng nodded, not denying it: "It seems that I underestimated the influence of your family in Brazil, Mr. Silva. ”

Paul Cesa Silva chuckled and explained to Chen Geng: "Our family has some connections with Mr. Franco. ”

It's no wonder.

Chen Geng nodded lightly: It is estimated that this origin is not shallow.

Seeing Chen Geng nodding, Paolo Cesa Silva continued: "Mr. Fernandez, can I visit you when I go back?"

Chen Geng's brows furrowed, he didn't think that Paul Cesa Silva just said it so casually, it must have been instructed by his family or even President Franco, so what did Silva's family and even President Franco want to do?

But in the next second, Chen Geng's brows quickly relaxed: no matter what Paulo Cesa Silva's family or President Franco wanted to say to him, it was nothing more than an exchange of interests.

Thinking about this layer clearly, Chen Geng nodded and said, "Of course." ”

There is nothing to say about the next thing, as the host, Franco, as the president of Brazil, expressed a warm welcome to Chen Geng's arrival, and the two sides routinely made a speech with no substance, but complimented each other, and when President Franco held a grand reception dinner for Chen Geng in the presidential palace, the news that China Eastern Airlines wanted to purchase MD-12 finally reached the ears of Air China.

That's a big deal!

"Is the news confirmed?" Wang Zhenguo, chairman and general manager of Air China, said with a serious face: "Is China Eastern really secretly contacting McDonnell Douglas through Mr. Chen Geng?"

When they learned that China Eastern Airlines was interested in purchasing the MD-12, just as the lion king did not allow an adult lion to challenge their status, Air China immediately reacted.

"Sure," Liu Weizhong's expression was equally serious: "I inquired clearly, in order to prevent the news from being known to us, China Eastern Airlines contacted Chen Geng through the person in charge of the Import and Export Corporation in the United States, in order to keep it secret and catch us off guard." ”

"These guys from China Eastern Airlines are really good at making calculations," Wang Zhenguo sneered, and there was no doubt in his heart: "What a trick to secretly Chen Cang." ”

For Wang Zhenguo, he will never allow other domestic airlines to have a passenger aircraft of the Boeing 747 level, which is our Air China's territory!

Liu Weizhong naturally did not allow China Eastern Airlines to have an aircraft like the MD-12, and he cautiously asked Wang Zhenguo for instructions: "That...... Chairman, what do you think we are going to do? Why don't you contact Mr. Chen Geng directly and ask him not to get involved in this matter?"

"Stupid!"

Hearing this, Wang Zhenguo immediately glared at Liu Weizhong: "Who is Mr. Chen Geng? Can you deal with him with this attitude and way? Besides, even if you say so, do you think Mr. Chen will care who you are?"

————————————

PS: Sorry brothers, please wait a few minutes.

Chen Geng nodded lightly: It is estimated that this origin is not shallow.

Seeing Chen Geng nodding, Paolo Cesa Silva continued: "Mr. Fernandez, can I visit you when I go back?"
