Chapter 328: Meeting with the Governor of São Paulo

Huffman begged Tang Bao to give him a little more time to deal with the problem, but Tang Bao understood and did not urge. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info However, he can't just wait and do nothing. Otherwise, the Minas Gerais government received the wrong signal and mistakenly thought that Tang Bao attached great importance to Pat Mining, even if he was really optimistic, but the necessary posture still had to be put on, otherwise it would only make himself fall into passivity.

This.

Tang Bao pretended to be reluctant to help, which could not only get tangible benefits, but also allow the Minas Gerais state government to accept his favors. In the future, you can also get a lot of convenience when investing here.

"Back to São Paulo? Okay, let's get ready! Morais was pleasantly surprised. As if he was afraid that Tang Bao would change his mind, he ran away after speaking.

Morais and Mild brought Don Bao to talk about Pat Mining, but they only played the role of a guide, and nothing else helped. Well, it doesn't matter, the point is that Morais and Milt were stimulated by the successive encounters, and they had the heart to change and wanted to tie up Tang Bao and hitchhike...... Tang Bao stayed in Minas Gerais, they don't have many networks, and they are powerless to perform. Now that Tang Bao has decided to return to São Paulo, Morais can be described as a surprise, São Paulo can be regarded as their old nest, and their opportunity has come.

Of course, Tang Bao didn't know what Morais was planning.

His idea is simple: São Paulo is the economic center of Brazil, with relatively good infrastructure and a much better investment climate.

Less than half an hour.

Morais and Mirt were ready to return, filling up their vehicles with fuel, food and water, and magazines and newspapers to pass the time on the way.

Well.

Behaved quite enthusiastically.

It is worth mentioning that when they learned that Tang Bao was going to return to São Paulo, Huffman, who was too busy to touch the ground, hurried over, and they were still waiting to deal with the trouble of Pat Mining Company to Tang Bao. Besides, Huffman also wants to invite Tang Bao to make more business investments in Minas Gerais. Tang Bao went to São Paulo, which has better basic conditions, and will he still be able to see Minas Gerais?

Therefore.

Hefman naturally tried his best to keep Tang Bao.

But.

Tang Bao's decision is not something that anyone can change. Even if Huffman spoke about the lotus, he did not persuade Tang Bao to stay in the end. However, Tang Bao promised that as long as the troubles of Pat Mining were dealt with, he would take over Pat Mining. Nor is it a problem to increase investment in Minas Gerais.

Having received the promise he wanted, Huffman was naturally satisfied and no longer dwelled. After all, Tang Bao is free to go anywhere, even if Tang Bao doesn't guarantee anything, he doesn't dare to force it.

……

Back to São Paulo again.

Tang Bao, Kate, Ray and Natalia did not feel anything abnormal, but Morais and Mild returned to the sea and were in good spirits.

"Mr. Tang, there are a lot of mineral resources in the vicinity of São Paulo, if you are interested in investing, we can help you match." Back in the lair, Morais spoke with much more confidence. Knowing that Tang Bao wanted to invest in the mineral resources industry, Morais, who was bent on befriending Tang Bao, was naturally the right medicine.

"Is there a mineral resource in São Paulo?" Without waiting for Tang Bao to respond, Kate asked in surprise.

"Huh. Brazil is such a huge country that each state must have a lot of mineral resources, it's just a matter of more or less. Tang Bao said with a smile.

"Yes. Mr. Tang was right. Milt seized the opportunity to chimed in.

"Well, good. Since you have channels, then introduce them, and the consultation fee will not be less than yours. Tang Bao could feel the enthusiasm of Morais and Milt, but he didn't think about it, just when the two wanted to make more money for the consultation. His biggest goal in Brazil was to invest in Brazil's mineral resources, so he naturally would not refuse the suggestions of the two.

What is the consultation fee?

After their trip to Minas Gerais, Morais and Mirt could still afford the consulting fees, and they blushed when they remembered how complacent they used to earn consulting fees.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Tang, we will be able to surprise you soon!" Morais assured.

"Hmm."

Tang Bao just smiled and nodded.

He knew that Morais's background was not simple, but before the matter was done, everything he said was false, and what he needed to see was the result.

Morais and Mirt left.

Tang Bao was not idle, and took Kate straight to the São Paulo state government, where he decided to make some contact with the head of the local government department.

Foreign investment is not a matter of spending money, it is definitely necessary to deal with the local government. Even if it is easy to invest in Brazil, it is unavoidable.

Tang Bao also needs to talk to the local government to see the other party's attitude. Inflation in Brazil during this period was unusually ferocious, and few government officials were incorruptible. To be honest, Tang Bao doesn't mind spending some money to avoid all kinds of troubles, but he is also worried that some people's appetites are too big to satisfy.

"I'm Tang Bao from Phoenix Investment Group, and I want to visit Governor Ackmin!" When he came to the office building of the state government, Tang Bao reported directly to his home.

"Ah, wait a minute!"

Recently, both Tang Bao and Tang Bao's Phoenix Investment Group have frequently appeared in the newspapers, and even as far away as Brazil, you can hear the news. The other party heard that it was Tang Bao from Phoenix Investment Group, although he was not sure, but after seeing Tang Bao's Asian face, he naturally did not dare to slack off.

"Ah...... Mr. Tang, it's really you, I didn't expect you to suddenly come to Brazil, please, please! Governor Akmin was obviously very concerned about international news, and recognized Tang Bao and Kate at first glance, his expression was very surprised, and he hurriedly invited.

"Hehe, I took the liberty to come and visit, and I ask Governor Akmin not to be surprised." Tang Bao said with a smile.

"Ah, no wonder, no wonder, welcome, I don't think there are many people in this world who will not welcome Mr. Tang's visit." Akmin said urgently.

In the face of Tang Bao, the god of wealth, let alone him, the governor, even the president of Brazil has to be taken seriously.

Akmin greeted Tang Bao and Kate in the office, and ordered the tea and water to be served, and they were very busy. "When did Mr. Tang get off the plane, I didn't notify him in advance, and I could send someone to pick him up."

Tang Bao smiled, "Ha, I have been in Brazil for a while, and I have been inspecting the investment environment, and at first I just walked around casually, but it was not good to alarm your government. ”

Scold.

His visit to Brazil was quite low-key, if not in secret, and Ceso, who received him, saw that Tang Bao was unwilling to contact the Brazilian government, so he did not publicize it. The same goes for Morais and Milt. And the government of Minas Gerais is looking forward to Tang Bao going there to invest, and I can't wait for the rest of Brazil to know that Tang Bao came to Brazil, and it will be publicized if it is stupid. And Arnold also kept Tang Bao's affairs secret for some reasons.

So.

Up to now, Tang Bao has been in Brazil for a few days, and no one knows about it.

"What?" Akmin was surprised that he had also come into contact with many foreign businessmen, regardless of their strength, and the first stop when he came to Brazil was to communicate with the local government. Regardless of whether the business can be negotiated or not, the enthusiasm and attention of government officials is enough to satisfy them. And it is really rare for Tang Bao to secretly inspect the investment environment in such a low-key manner.

But.

Now that Tang Bao has come over, he has made a decision. In this regard, Akmin is naturally concerned, after all, Tang Bao is not an ordinary foreign investor.

Akeming is obviously concerned about the chaos, if it is ordinary, he must be able to see Tang Bao's decision at a glance, the obvious thing, Tang Bao secretly investigated, if he had no intention of investing, he naturally left quietly, now that the secret investigation is over, and then find the local government, he must be interested in investing.

"Huh. Governor Ackmin, I am interested in investing in São Paulo, I wonder if you can give you some convenience and preferential measures? ”

Hear the words.

Akmin was immediately pleasantly surprised, but when it came to convenience and discounts, he gradually regained his composure. Of course, the necessary attitude still has to be demonstrated. "Mr. Tang, if you choose to invest in São Paulo, we are very welcome. Well, all the formalities in all aspects will be passed as quickly as possible, and the tax incentives that should be given will be given as much as possible. Others, as long as you bring it up, we try to fight for it. ”

Regardless of whether it can be achieved or not, anyway, pick up the good things to say. It should come down, wait for Tang Bao's investment to be implemented, and then slowly solve other difficulties.

To be in the position of governor of São Paulo is naturally not a fool, but very shrewd. Tang Bao's investment in São Paulo is not just a simple business investment, the collateral effects are quite terrifying. Tang Bao's investment vision has always been praised and admired by the outside world, if the outside world learns that Tang Bao invested in Sao Paulo, Brazil, it is naturally indispensable to have a lot of news hype, and the key is that it is very likely to attract a large number of follow-up investments.

So.

Akmin takes it very seriously!

"Uh...... Mr. Tang, what kind of industry do you invest in? After the attitude was over, Akmin suddenly realized that he had overlooked something, and asked awkwardly.

"I'm planning to open a East West Bank branch in São Paulo!" Tang Bao said with a smile.

East West Bank can be ranked in the top 10 in the United States, and it is good to operate steadily, and if you want to continue to expand, I am afraid that the US government will not agree, so it can be said that the development has encountered a bottleneck, and if you want to break through, you can only expand internationally. His trip will be a trip to many countries, and it would be great if he could push East West Bank to expand. However, he also understands that the cross-border development of banks is not a simple matter, and capital is a necessary condition, but in addition to this condition, it also depends on opportunities and government support.

"This. Personally, I and the government in São Paulo are very welcoming to East West Bank in Brazil, but Mr. Tang should be well aware that this has to be approved by the Brazilian Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank. Thinking of the big package just now, Akmin couldn't help but explain embarrassedly.

"Hmm. I know I just hope that Governor Acmín will support East West Bank in obtaining a banking license in Brazil, and it would be better if he could help with some help. When East West Bank enters Brazil, it will also support São Paulo's economic construction~" Tang Bao said with a smile. He mentioned this in the hope that he would rely on Ackmin's relationship to give East West Bank a little help. After all, if you are the governor of a state, you can be regarded as a political boss, and you must have some connections in the federal government.

Of course, Tang Bao is also ready to be rejected, and with this refusal, when he puts forward some difficult conditions later, Akmin will have to think about it carefully.

After all.

It's normal to refuse once, and it can be done by gritting your teeth twice, but you can't do it twice. What does it mean to refuse continuously, it is that Tang Bao's investment is not welcome. Even if Akmin doesn't mean to welcome it in the slightest, sometimes things can't be explained.

So.

Akemin's refusal had inadvertently given Tang Bao an advantage in the next negotiations.

Looking at the silent Akemin, Tang Bao knew that the issue of East West Bank's license was no deal, and he didn't dwell on it: "I know that governments all over Brazil are conducting private auctions, and I am also very interested in some assets. I hope that the government of São Paulo will be able to make it easier by then! ”

"This ......," Akmin frowned. It's not that he is high, but that the private-owned auction is organized by the National Privatization Committee, and the local government has no right to intervene at all, even if he wants to give Tang Bao convenience, he doesn't have that power.

"What, Governor Ackmin is having a hard time?" Tang Bao turned a blind eye to Akemin's frown, he naturally knew that it was difficult.

Let's be honest.

Tang Bao wanted to see Akeming refused, he was worried that Akemin's head would be dizzy, so he nodded in response.

Fortunately.

Akmin did not live up to Tang Bao's expectations, hesitated for a long time before explaining with a wry smile, and of course finally promised: "I don't dare to say anything else, but at least I can guarantee that Mr. Tang is facing a fair and just environment." ”

"This ...... That's it. Tang Bao seemed a little dissatisfied with Akmin's response, and just replied tastelessly.

See here.

Akeming's heart was also tight, and at the same time, he also secretly prayed in his heart, begging Tang Bao not to make another completely impossible request. If he refuses once or twice, he has a lot of pressure, and if he refuses again, then I am afraid that there will be no need to talk about the subsequent negotiations.

"Hmm. Brazil is a country with huge agricultural potential, and I am going to set up a farming company, and I need to acquire some land! Tang Bao said with a smile.

Calculate so much, this is Tang Bao's real goal. Brazilian land law stipulates that foreign nationals with permanent residency in Brazil can be restricted from purchasing land, and foreign nationals without permanent residency in Brazil cannot purchase land; There is no restriction on the purchase of land by Pakistani-funded enterprises, there is no restriction on the purchase of land by joint ventures with 51% Pakistani capital, there are restrictions on the purchase of land by joint ventures with more than 51% Pakistani capital but not controlling 51% of the voting rights, and there are restrictions on the purchase of land by 100% foreign-funded enterprises.

Therefore.

Whether in his personal name or in his private name, Tang Bao's desire to buy land in Brazil will inevitably be restricted by Brazilian policies and regulations.

"No problem!"

Don't look at Akmin's refreshment, but before answering, he struggled for a long time in his heart. He knew that with Tang Bao's status and status, it would definitely not be a small scale to say that he wanted to buy land in person.

"Okay, then I'll thank Governor Akmin first. Please rest assured, I am only engaged in pure farming and will not have any other intentions. Tang Bao said with relief.

Well.

Akmin smiled and nodded. As for how much land Tang Bao needed to buy, he didn't ask, anyway, with Tang Bao's financial resources, it was a very simple matter to acquire land. What he needs to do is to help Tang Bao complete the registration of the change of land property rights. However, he was really a little worried that Tang Bao had too much appetite. After thinking for a moment, he muttered, "Mr. Tang, if you want to engage in agricultural development, you don't need to buy land. The state and municipal governments control a lot of mountainous and barren forests, and Mr. Tang can rent these places and turn them into high-quality farmland for a small amount of money. These places are often connected in a large area, which is very suitable for large-scale development and cultivation! Well, if Mr. Tang is interested, he only needs to pay a small amount of rent. ”

"Oh? If the conditions are so good, why is no one developing? Tang Bao asked with a smile.

"This ......"

Akmin is embarrassed, there is a reason why no one wants to develop it. In fact, most of the land in the hands of local governments is like this, and most of it is mountainous barren forests and swamps that no one wants. Brazil has plenty of ordinary agricultural land, and who cares about those mountain and forest wastelands.

It's not so miserable that no one wants it for nothing, but it's pretty much the same. The land that fell into the hands of the local government was poor and remote, with no roads and no electricity. To develop these places, first of all, roads and electricity must be built, and at such a cost, no one will want to do so.

"The infrastructure in these places is very rudimentary, and to develop these areas deeply, you have to build your own roads, electricity...... "Akmin explained.

Oh.

Tang Bao realized that now that the international prices of agricultural products are low and the world food crisis has not broken out, who is willing to spend such a price to engage in agricultural development.

But.

Others are reluctant to do it, but Tang Bao, who knows the future prospects of agriculture, is willing. The opportunity to send the door to the door, Tang Bao naturally grasped it tightly. I calculated in my heart that the price of high-quality farmland is very low, the price of mountain barren forest is even lower, and the price of leased mountain forest wasteland is definitely worse than the price of cabbage. Maybe with a little luck, Akmin will give it to him for nothing.

"If I lease such a wasteland, there is no limit to the scale?" Tang Bao showed some interest at the right time and asked.

"When it comes to land, it's impossible to be unrestricted. But, well, if the area is too small, I'm afraid Mr. Tang will not be willing to spend a lot of money to build infrastructure. Akmin muttered.

Well.

Tang Bao nodded silently, what Akmin said was right, the scale was too small to even recover the investment in infrastructure, it was not worth it at all.

"In the northwestern part of São Paulo, there are mountains and forests. Mr. Tang can lease 10,000 hectares of them for development and construction. ”

"That's only 10,000 hectares?"

"This ...... But it's much more than that. Akmin smiled and shook his head.

"In that case, why don't you rent it out to me all at once?" Tang Bao asked.

Hear the words.

Akmin's face couldn't help twitching, he rented it all out, and he didn't dare to do it if he gave him the courage of a bear heart and a leopard. The wasteland he said was at least millions of hectares, all of which were leased to Tang Bao, for fear that he would be drowned by the people's spittle in an instant. It doesn't matter if the wasteland is left undeveloped, but it is absolutely not okay to give it all to a foreigner, even if it is just rented.

"Huh. Mr. Tang, your request is really hard for me. That mountain forest area is only more than millions of hectares, and counting the bordering out-of-state wasteland, it is even more. (To be continued.) )
