In addition, the Brazilian government also implements national treatment for wholly foreign-owned enterprises in Brazil, so Mr. Tang does not have to worry about discriminatory treatment in wholly owned acquisitions. Taking a step back, even if you encounter an accident along the way, we at Mosaco Consulting Services can help you settle it quickly. Morais confidently patted the **** and assured, as if in their eyes, these so-called troubles were not a matter at all.

See this scene.

Tang Bao became more and more sure of the speculation in his heart, and the real strength of the so-called Mosaco consulting services company lies in dredging official channels.

Tang Bao, who knew the trick in it, knew very well that as long as he reached an agreement with the two young men in front of him, he would definitely not return empty-handed at the auction. But he is also well aware that this seemingly normal consulting cooperation carries uncontrollable risks, and if something goes wrong with the people behind Mosaco Consulting Services, it is likely to be implicated. With Tang Bao's current status, if he is involved in the corruption scandal of the Brazilian government, it will undoubtedly cause a huge storm and cause an unimaginable blow to his reputation.

Therefore.

At the beginning of the cooperation with Mosaco Consulting Services, Tang Bao had to eliminate this hidden danger and definitely not involve himself.

"I kindly give you a reminder, the privatization auction I mentioned will be held in two days, and if Mr. Tang has any gains, he must hurry up and prepare." Seeing Tang Bao bow his head and ponder silently, Morais was also secretly anxious in his heart. In normal times, he would not care about the attitude of a customer, they have scarce channels and information resources, and they do not worry about no customers coming to their door.

But this time it's different!

Before coming to meet Tang Bao, they had done a simple investigation on Tang Bao's situation, and knew that the young man in front of them was an absolute big customer, if they could reach a cooperation. It is undoubtedly a great opportunity for them to deepen their relationship.

So.

This time, the head of Mosaco Consulting Services, Morais, came forward in person, and deliberately restrained his usual arrogant attitude, showing extreme humility and politeness.

Tang Bao, who was interrupted by Morais's words, suddenly woke up, raised his head slightly to look at Morais, and inadvertently found the anxiety in the other party's eyes. I suddenly realized in my heart. It seems that Morais values this business more than he does.

Morais's eagerness exposed his hole cards, but Tang Bao did not take advantage of this to lower the price, one is that he has no need to bargain with the other party for a mere five million dollars in "consulting fees", and Tang Bao knows that he has invested a lot of money in Brazil, and he will have to rely on people like Morais in the future.

"Then this auction will depend on two more people." Tang Bao said with a light smile.

Hear the words.

Morais and Milt looked at each other with a relieved smile. With Tang Bao's words, it means that this business has been completed.

"Which mining companies will be in the private-owned auction in two days, and which one is the most valuable?" Tang Bao asked bluntly.

"This ......"

Morais grimaced.

Then.

Seerso, who had been silent, hurriedly leaned over and explained in a low voice, "Mr. Tang." Mosaco Consulting Services has a rule that it will not provide any ...... until the consultation fee has been received."

"Mr. Tang is not an ordinary person, so there is no need to abide by this rule!" Without waiting for Seerso to finish speaking, Milt hurriedly explained, and at the same time took out a stack of materials from the briefcase he carried at any time, handed it over, and said with a smile: "The relevant information has already been prepared. Mr. Tang, please. If Mr. Tang is not satisfied with this information, he wants to inquire about more detailed information. You can also ask us about it, and we will try to be satisfied! ”

Meantime.

glared at Morais fiercely, and scolded in his heart that he was really stupid, how could a rich man like Tang Bao be able to reduce his consulting fee. Although it was clearly mentioned in the previous negotiations that the consulting fee should be paid first, it was only a matter of strategy, how could this bastard take it seriously.

"Yes. Right! ”

Molaeus, who had reacted, hurriedly echoed in his words.

In fact, Morais is very shrewd, otherwise he would not have been promoted to be the head of Mosacco's consulting services. The reason why he made a low-level mistake at a critical moment was purely due to habit, because he usually did this when negotiating with other customers, and it was just a subconscious reminder just now. Didn't think about it that much at all.

"It doesn't matter. Since it's your rule, then I'd better not break it! Tang Bao took the information and put it next to him, not in a hurry to check it.

Without waiting for the other party to continue to excuse himself, Tang Bao immediately beckoned to Lei, and then whispered to him.

"You can hand over your bank account to Ray and you'll receive a transfer of five million dollars within an hour." Tang Bao said with a smile.

"No hurry!"

Morais replied with a busy smile, and with his previous mistakes, he behaved more humbly and cautiously, lest he make any more low-level mistakes. Then, he took the opportunity to suggest to Tang Baojie: "Mr. Tang, the relevant intelligence information is complicated and lengthy, let me briefly introduce it to you." ”

Well.

Tang Bao smiled and nodded lightly in agreement, he didn't feel bad for Morais because of his previous collection behavior.

"Most of the companies in this private auction are relatively small and medium-sized, including seven mining companies, with ore production ranging from millions of tons, and the largest is Mata Resources Development Company, which produces nearly 10 million tons of iron ore a year. However, the mining company that has attracted the most attention should be Pat Mining Company, although the annual output of iron ore is only more than 5 million tons, but it owns a mining area in the iron four foot area, the iron ore grade (iron ore iron content) is as high as 67%, and the ore reserves are nearly 200 million tons. Morais began to give a detailed account of the private-owned auction.

"...... Pat Mining Company" Hearing Morais's introduction, Tang Bao's eyes flashed, and he groaned slightly, obviously interested in this mining company. The iron ore grade is 67%, which is definitely high-grade iron ore even in Brazil, which produces high-grade iron ore.

In fact, Brazil, Russia, Ukraine, Canada, China, Australia, India, the United States, etc. are all large iron ore reserves, but why only Brazil and Australia can dominate the world's iron ore trade in later generations is very simple, in addition to the iron ore concentration and easy mining, the iron ore grade is high enough. Brazil and Australia generally export iron ore grades of around 62%. The worst grade is also above 55%, and the high-grade grade can reach more than 65%.

The vast majority of iron ore grades in India, Russia and Canada are around 50%, while those in China and Ukraine are even lower, only 30% to 40%.

In this comparison, it is not surprising that Brazilian and Australian iron ore dominate the international iron ore market.

"There is no problem in taking down several other mining companies, but only Pat Mining Company may have some trouble...... Seeing that Tang Bao showed extremely strong interest in Pat Mining Company. Morais groaned, his brow furrowed slightly, as if it was a little tricky.

Tang Bao was slightly stunned, but he didn't feel too surprised. Pat Mining is definitely a high-quality asset, and it's really weird if no one cares, and it's normal to have rivals competing for it.

However, will Tang Bao be afraid to compete with his opponents? Naturally not. As long as there is a relatively fair bidding environment, who will he be afraid of?

"Hmm...... Frankly, we also don't understand why the government would put Pat Mining on the list of private auctions. Is there really a desire to privatize it, or is there some other arrangement? If it's the latter. Mr. Tang had better choose another goal! ”

"Oh?"

Tang Bao looked at Morais in surprise, but he was secretly thinking in his heart that there was a secret in this private-Youhua auction.

"As I mentioned earlier, Pat Mining's mining area is in the Iron Four Corners region, and it is adjacent to the mining area of Vale, Brazil's largest mining giant, and Vale has long wanted to annex Pat Mining, but has always been resisted by Pat Mining. The inclusion of Pat Mining Company in the list of private-owned auctions this time cannot be ruled out for the purpose of fulfilling Vale. Morais explained.

"You mean that sending Pat Mining to the auction house was entirely for Vale?" Tang Bao asked.

"That's right!"

Morais nodded in response.

"Since the Brazilian government intends to promote the merger of the two companies. Then why bother......" Tang Bao was really a little incomprehensible.

"Heh, that's not a lot of time. Vale is federally controlled, while Pat Mining is an asset of the Minas Gerais government. There are political factors involved, and there are really many obstacles to a direct merger, and the inclusion of Pat Mining in the privatization auction list, with the strong strength of Vale, bidding for Pat Mining is simply a matter of hand. Vale's participation in the privatization bid could justifiably swallow Pat Mining. Morais explained with a smile.

After listening to Morais's explanation, Tang Bao finally understood the twists and turns.

Vale, Brazil's largest mining company, has remained profitable even during the most difficult period of the Brazilian economy, and wants to auction off a small mining company. Who can resist it?

But.

How could Tang Bao's fancy assets retreat easily.

"Did the Brazilian Privatization Commission prohibit other investors from bidding for Pat Mining, or is it a hint?" Tang Bao asked.

Forehead.

Mora Easton was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect his words to be so clear, and Tang Bao still had no intention of giving up.

"There is no implication, let alone an explicit prohibition. With Mr. Tang's strength, Vale is naturally not an opponent, but I advise you not to clash head-on with Vale. Morais reminded solemnly, perhaps afraid that Tang Bao would not know the strength of Vale, so he gave a general introduction to the company's situation, "The ports of Itaguai, Sepadiba, Tubarão and Madeira are the four main iron ore loading ports in Brazil, and the vast majority of iron ore exports pass through these four ports. But Vale controls the four major ports, as well as the infrastructure leading to them such as railways and warehouses. It is no exaggeration to say that if you offend Vale, it will be difficult to transport iron ore even if you have it. ”

Hear the words.

Tang Bao also had a solemn face, it is difficult to say the influence of Vale in the world, but in Brazil, it is indeed a character that is not easy to provoke. In the face of the behemoth of Vale, no matter how rich Tang Bao was, soon, Tang Bao secretly decided that he would never easily stand on the opposite side of Vale.

"Hoo ......"

Thinking through the joints, Tang Bao couldn't help but take a deep breath, and at the same time had a plan in his heart. If that's what Morais guessed. That's a good trade-off. The best outcome is to cooperate with Vale and participate in the auction jointly, otherwise it will have to avoid the edge for the time being.

"Mr. Tang, there is no one in Brazil who can challenge the supremacy of Vale!" Morais reminded solemnly again.

Well.

Tang Bao nodded in agreement, he naturally understood Vale's strong position in Brazil. Not to mention that Vale has not yet been privatized, even after the privatization of Vale in later generations. It's still hard to shake. Even stronger in the international iron ore market!

Call~~

After adjusting his mentality slightly, Tang Bao regained his composure.

"I'd like to talk to Vale's higher-ups, do you have a way to get in touch?" After a moment of silence, Tang Bao asked.

"Uh...... There isn't much contact, but matchmaking shouldn't be a big problem. Morais groaned slightly, and then said with a sad face, "But Vale has long coveted Pat Mining Company, and it is almost impossible to persuade the other party to withdraw from the private auction." To be honest, we at Mosaco Consulting Services probably don't have that much face! ”

Hear the words.

Tang Bao smiled lightly. "I didn't expect Vale to withdraw, and I didn't want to meet with Vale's management to persuade them to quit, but to seek cooperation."

"Cooperation?"

Morais was stunned.

"Yes, it's cooperation. Since I could not compete directly with Vale, I was very interested in Pat Mining, and I was not willing to give up, and the only way was to take the big ship of Vale and jointly bid for Pat Mining with it. Tang Bao said with a smile.

Then.

Silent Milt spoke. "It's an option, but Vale's finances have always been very good. In the absence of financial pressure, I am afraid that Vale is not willing to unite. ”

"Hmm."

Morais chimed in.

"The two of you just need to help me match the dots, and even if it doesn't work, it won't affect our cooperation." Tang Bao said with a smile.

Morais and Milt were immediately relieved, and then hurriedly said that they would arrange a meeting before the private-public auction began.

Then.

The two of them left in a hurry!

……

I flipped through the intelligence materials left by Morais. Each auctioned company has a detailed introduction, even including the auction reserve price, the psychological price of the transaction, as well as the government's policy trends on the privatization of enterprises, etc., which is really everything and very detailed.

Seeing Tang Bao, he couldn't help but be amazed. I secretly want to compare with some people in China who engage in government "approval".

"Seerso, how much do you know about this Mosaco consulting company?" Tang Bao asked, although he knew in his heart what kind of goods Mosaco consulting services were, he didn't know who was hiding behind this company, and whether the background was hard or not.

"Ugh. Truth be told, this consulting service has only been around for more than two years, but it has quickly risen to become the best consulting company in São Paulo, with almost nothing difficult to do, the only drawback being that it is expensive. As for who is behind the company, no one knows. But based on its track record, there is no doubt that it has a strong background in São Paulo, and there are people in the federal government. Cerso told him everything he knew. After a pause, he said: "Originally, I thought that the sphere of influence of Mosaco Consulting Services was only São Paulo, but this time they assisted Mr. Tang to participate in the private auction of state-owned enterprises in Minas Gerais, and I think they also have a strong relationship background in Minas Gerais. ”

Well.

Tang Bao nodded, indicating understanding.

"Compared to other consulting services, Mosaco Consulting Services is more secretive and has not revealed an official background until now."

"There are a lot of consulting services in Brazil?" Tang Baodao.

"In the past, it was fine, but with the development of private ownership of state-owned enterprises, this kind of consulting service company has a tendency to bloom everywhere...... Anyone who has a little energy has opened a consulting service company either explicitly or covertly. These companies are in possession of government contracts, policy trends, economic intelligence, etc., and can make a lot of money by showing a little bit through their fingernails. Seyerso replied.
