Chapter 563: The Manor of Huyce
To be honest, Tang Feng was a little surprised by Vale's invitation, although Tang Feng didn't mind going to this cocktail party, but Tang Feng really didn't know what brand of candy was in Vale's pocket.
However, Tang Feng still arrived at the venue of the reception on time, a building in the famous Rodrigo Rosrigo. A private estate on the shores of the Freitas Lagoon.
This private manor named "Juis" does not occupy a large area, but it is very exquisite, and one side of the manor is the vast Rodrigo. The Freitas Lagoon is also one of the most famous lakes in the entire city of Rio de Janeiro.
The 2.4 million-square-metre lake is known as the "Heart of Rio" because of its heart-like shape. To the north of the lagoon is Mount Jesus, also known as the "Humpback Mountain", at 709 meters above sea level, and on the top of the mountain stands one of the most famous statues in all of Rio and all of Brazil, the Statue of Jesus.
Less than a kilometre northeast of the lagoon is the best beach in Rio de Janeiro – Copacabana Beach, a crescent-shaped stretch of white sand about four kilometres long.
The reception was scheduled for 8 p.m., and Tang Feng arrived at the door of the Huis Manor at 7:50 p.m.
The hyena and the bear were received by special personnel at the gate of the manor and went to rest in other places, while Tang Feng was greeted by a white man who was over half a hundred years old.
"Hello, you must be Mr. Tang from the United States! To introduce myself, I am the initiator of this cocktail party, Chuck. Murphy. "Chuck. Murphy greeted him at the first time and introduced himself very affectionately.
Tang Feng also shook Chuck with a smile on his face. Murphy's outstretched hand shook slightly and said, "Hello Mr. Murphy, I'm Tang Feng." It's an honor to have you invited. ”
"Hehe, Mr. Tang is polite, it is our honor to be able to invite a person like you to this reception. Let's go, Mr. Tang, let's talk inside. There are already a lot of people in there, and they all want to meet you, the new star of the mining industry. ”
Hear Chuck. When Murphy said this, Tang Feng hesitated slightly, but then followed Murphy inside with a smile on his face. For this kind of appearance, Tang Feng has always been very fond of it. However, Mr. Murphy obviously understands Tang Feng's personality quite well, although he said that he wanted to introduce Tang Feng to some iron ore mine owners in Brazil, but in fact he did not do this, but directly led Tang Feng to a more secluded and beautiful corner. Here, three elderly people with gray hair are talking and laughing with wine glasses.
From the temperament of these three old men, it can be seen that these people are obviously higher than those in the hall outside. Sure enough, when Chuck. After Murphy led Tang Feng here, one of the elderly people said with a smile: "Mr. Tang, welcome to the Humble House, I'm Besanson. Huis, as the owner of this estate. You are very welcome to come. The old man said, turning to Chuck. Murphy smiled and said, "Chuck." Great work. ”
The old man seemed to be very well-known in the local area, and even Vale's CEO was very polite to him.
Seeing this, Tang Feng could only say slightly respectfully: "Mr. Huis, this manor of yours is really beautiful. With such an estate on the shores of Lake Freitas, it's a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle. ”
"Haha. Mr. Tang, you don't have to be so polite when you come to me. The old man said with a smile, and at the same time picked up the wine bottle and personally poured half a glass of red wine for Tang Feng, handed it to Tang Feng and said, "Mr. Tang, maybe you don't know yet, Mr. Sigman and I are old friends." He called me some time ago to mention you. ”
"Oh, thank you." Tang Feng first took the wine, thanked him, and then said, "I didn't expect Mr. Huis to be old friends with Mr. Sigman, which is really a bit unexpected to me." ”
"It's nothing, when I was in Argentina, I used to play chess with Mr. Sigman, you know, Mr. Sigman was a guy who was very obsessed with chess, and it just so happened that I was also quite proficient in this, so we used to play chess together a lot in those years."
At this time, Chuck. Murphy explained to Tang in a low voice: "Mr. Huis was the CEO of Petrobras Argentina before he became a senator. ”
Hear Chuck. Murphy's explanation, Tang Feng only then understood why this old man was Chuck. Someone of Murphy's status is so respectful. The co-author, this old man, is not only a former top executive of Petrobras, the largest company in Latin America, but is now also a member of the Brazilian Senate.
That's a pretty awesome identity.
Huis smiled and waved his hand and said: "That's all before, I'm just a senator now, I participate in politics when I have something, and I entertain old friends in this manor when I have nothing to do." Come, Mr. Tang, let me introduce you to these two. This is Dan Brown, chairman of Vale's Board of Directors. Conrad, who is the chairman of the board of directors of MBR, Dilmar. Pedro. They're all good friends of mine. ”
Tang Feng smiled and shook hands with Conrad and Pedro respectively, after learning the identities of the two of them, it was not surprising that the two of them could appear here.
Vale is the largest iron ore company in Brazil and the world's largest supplier of iron ore in terms of iron ore production. Conrad's presence here is naturally quite normal. MBR, also known as the Brazilian Mineral Consortium, is the second largest iron ore producer in Brazil, and the chairman of this company is naturally qualified to stay here.
After introducing these two people, the current senator, the owner of the Huis Manor, said with a smile: "Okay, Dan and Dilma, my task has been completed, and now that we have invited our most honored guest here, you should negotiate the specific matters yourself." ”
As he spoke, Huis nodded at Tang Feng and said, "These two old friends of mine seem to have something to discuss with you, so I won't participate, as the host, I have to go outside to entertain other friends." Don, if there is anything to say, with my relationship with Hugo, you can consider this place your own home. (To be continued.) )
