"Whew, I'll bear it!" Huffman secretly took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to go berserk.

Then.

Crews' union representatives and Pat Mining's management were panicked and expected to be coordinated by Huffman.

Otherwise, they will all die a terrible death!

"Mr. Huffman, why don't I command everyone to stop Adès, and you take the opportunity to rush in!?" Cruise saw that Huffman was blocked by Ades, and ran over and asked in a low voice.

Huffman was moved.

Seeing Cruise and Huffman muttering to the slick eyes, although they couldn't hear what the two were saying, it certainly wouldn't be a good thing.

Adès hurriedly warned and said, "You'd better not act rashly, otherwise, I will call the security guards, and everyone will not look good." ”

Vale has a large iron ore reserve in Minas Gerais and always has to deal with the state government, so it is not easy for Adès to tear his face directly. If it weren't for the presence of Huffman, a state government official, Ades would have been dealing with them for so long, and would have called for security guards to chase them out.

Forehead.

Hearing Adès's warning, Huffman couldn't help but suppress the excitement in his heart. If he was really expelled by Vale's security guards, then he would really become a laughing stock for others.

"Cruise, you can take everyone back to rest first. I'm waiting here myself, and I'll let you know as soon as I have any news. Huffman said.

"Okay."

After looking at the situation, Cruise also knew that there was no point in staying, so he nodded in agreement. Then he and everyone left Vale.

In the blink of an eye.

The building, which had been a bit noisy, became quiet.

Call.

With Huffman alone, Adeston felt relieved. With Cruise and the others gone, it would be impossible to make trouble.

"It's hard for President Arnold to spare time in a short period of time, and I don't think Mr. Hefman needs to wait here." Adès kindly reminded.

"It's fine. I'll just wait here! Huffman shook his head.

Then.

Huffman lowered his voice and asked tentatively, "What kind of privilege is the VIP in the conference room, who can make the always arrogant Arnold treat it so carefully." ”

"A famous investor from Wall Street in the United States!" Adès replied slightly mysteriously. Tang Bao's name was not directly reported.

Well.

Huffman nodded in understanding, and fell silent, no one knowing what he was up to.

……

Saying.

After Ades left the conference room, the talks between Tang Bao and Yanno were not disturbed by the outside world, and both sides were interested in deepening cooperation, so the atmosphere of the talks was exceptionally harmonious.

"Hmm. Fortunately, President Arnold reminded me that otherwise, I would have suffered a heavy blow if I hastily acquired Pat Mining Company. ”

Tang Bao expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart. He was also very glad that he had gone to great lengths to meet with Arnold, if it hadn't been, his first investment in Brazil would have been a waterloo.

Forehead.

Hear this. Both Morais and Milt's faces felt hot, and as consulting consultants hired by Tang Bao, they almost pushed their employers into the fire pit.

"Haha, Mr. Tang is serious." Arnold laughed heartily, then reminded, "In fact, the situation like Pat Mining is not unique, and it is important to find a reliable company to do your due diligence before investing, and it is best to visit it several times in person." ”

Well.

Tang Bao nodded sympathetically. In the case of Pat Mining, on the surface, it is a piece of fat that everyone covets. But the real situation is a deep pit, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the pit.

"It is not easy for foreign investors to enter Brazil. There are a lot of precautions. Arnold said.

"Oh? I want to hear about it! ”

Tang Bao humbly asked Arno for advice, he had done a detailed investigation himself, and asked Seersso to be his guide, but Seerso's energy was limited after all. The level of understanding is not at that high level, and some things are difficult to touch, and there is no hope at all. But Arnold is definitely the top of Brazil. It also has a strong official background and sees a wider range of people in the world. Tang Bao naturally would not let go of the opportunity to ask for advice.

"First, choose a suitable partner; second, to properly respond to the demands of trade union organizations; Third, maintain a good relationship with the government; Finally, pick a suitable intermediary. Arnold briefly outlined four main points.

"Uh...... Government relations are only in third place? Tang Bao asked in surprise.

"Yes, government relations are not the most important thing. If you do the first two things well, you will be able to establish yourself in Brazil, but even if you get along well with government officials, you will run into problems from time to time. ”

"As for the last mentioned intermediaries, they generally look for law firms or accounting firms, because Brazilian laws and tax regulations are very complex, especially labor laws are extremely complex, and it will save a lot of trouble to find an intermediary who is familiar with the local environment."

Oh.

Tang Bao nodded in understanding.

"The issue of trade unions is, anyway, a game of interest between business owners and workers over compensation and benefits. In this regard, I just want to say that the most important thing is to grasp the degree of goodness, too much squeezing may make you lose more than you lose, but too much generosity can also make people fall deeper and deeper! ”

Actually, the most complicated and difficult thing to do is the first point. Partners are important, but choosing one can be a headache. Generally speaking, when you invest in a state, it will be easier to get familiar with the environment and develop the market with a partner who is nothing more than a strong local business or family, either with power, wealth, or both. A strong partner will make you invincible, but I want to say that the stronger the partner, the better, the best for you! ”

"A few years ago, a friend of mine started a project in Rondônia with an investment of nearly $100 million, and the partner was a local Haoqiang family. And guess what...... In the case of a good market environment, this project is losing money every year, and investors are required to continue to inject capital every year. In the end, the project became insolvent, my friend admitted to withdrawing, and nearly 100 million dollars of investment was lost. When that partner took over the project on his own, he turned a profit and made tens of millions of dollars in profits. ”

"Your friend didn't realize it wasn't right?" Tang Bao asked.

"Huh. How could I not realize that it was because I noticed that the other party was playing tricks, so my friend gritted his teeth and quit, otherwise he would have lost even more! Arno chuckled. At first, my friend foolishly went to court, but soon withdrew the indictment because a member of the opposing family was elected vice president of the Senate. ”

Forehead.

Tang Bao was completely speechless......

"What happened to my friend is a tragedy caused by the serious imbalance of the status of the two partners. You can rely on partners, but you must not rely on partners for everything. Otherwise, even if you don't get swallowed to the point that there are no bones left, you will lose a lot of profits. ”

Well.

Tang Bao nodded in agreement, and at the same time knew more about the investment environment in Brazil. He also knew that what Arno said would never appear in the public media, and even if he sent people to investigate, he was afraid that it would be difficult to collect this information.

Arno didn't say it, Tang Bao might never know this dark side, maybe he wouldn't notice it until the day he encountered it.

"Thank you. I have benefited a lot from the guidance of President Arnold! Tang Bao expressed his gratitude again.

"Oh, that's easy to say. There are many such dark sides in Brazil, but it is not universal. In the case of this cooperation, Vale is sincere and will not erode the interests of our partners. Arnold said with a smile, he would say so much to Tang Bao who met for the first time, and even did not hesitate to expose the dark side of Brazil, naturally hoping to befriend Tang Bao. This encounter made him realize that it was not enough for him to rely on Vale's resources, and he also needed to find his own friends.

This.

If he hadn't met Tang Bao, an external friend, then he would definitely not have been able to simply survive the crisis.

"Huh."

Arno's words also made Tang Bao laugh, since the other party dared to reveal these secrets to him, it was naturally impossible to attack him again.

Let alone.

After the joint acquisition of the National Ferrous Metallurgical Company, Tang Bao will send directors and financial personnel to settle in, and he is not very worried about being deceived by the other party.

……

Tang Bao and Arnold chatted more and more speculatively, and before they knew it, it was late at night. It was not until just after 1 a.m. that the meeting was over.

End.

Arno looked at Morais and Milt, who were accompanying him, and reminded solemnly, "There are some topics that you can just listen to, and don't spread them out." Otherwise, you're asking for trouble. ”

"Yes, yes, we understand!" Both Morais and Milt hurried to answer. Tonight, they heard a lot of shocking content.

But they know what to say and what not to say!

Well.

Yano nodded casually, the other party was the consulting consultant brought by Tang Bao, and he was not too strict, so he could only remind him casually.

If it's really cheap, then you deserve it!

"Mr. Tang, the company will approve the loan soon, and I will visit you then." Arno and Tang Bao walked out side by side.

"No problem, after signing the formal loan contract, the funds can be transferred at any time. I would stay in São Paulo for two or three days to look for suitable investment opportunities. Tang Bao said with a smile. If it's time, President Arnold can come to me. If I can't catch up, it doesn't matter, I will send an investment team from the United States to take charge of the joint bid for the national ferrous metallurgical company. ”

"Okay."

Arno smiled reassuringly.

The words fell.

Arnold also sent Tang Bao out of the car outside the building and personally opened the car door for him. After Tang Bao expressed his gratitude, he lowered his head and drilled into the carriage.

"President Arnold, you really made me wait so hard." The sudden sound made Tang Bao's body froze suddenly, and he was a little curious, who was waiting for Arno so late. Then he straightened up again and turned his head to look.

Then.

The owner of the voice also walked over, and after greeting Arnold, he looked at Tang Bao again and said with a smile: "This is a VIP from the United States!" (To be continued.) )
