Chapter 323: Sales

Without waiting for Tang Bao to respond, Huffman's fat body walked around Arno with great agility, and walked over happily, holding Tang Bao's hand tightly with his big hands like bear paws.

Belch.

Tang Bao was a little stunned by the enthusiasm of the big fat man, and secretly thought who this was, he didn't know each other at all. However, he stretched out his hand and didn't hit the smiling person, the big fat man was very enthusiastic, Tang Bao still shook hands with the other party politely, and then quietly withdrew his palm.

Then.

Arno came back to his senses, and was very unhappy with Huffman's reckless behavior, but he couldn't show his dissatisfaction directly on his face.

"Come, Mr. Tang, let me introduce you, the person in front of you is Huffman, the director of the Minas Gerais State Government Office, and is the most effective assistant to Mr. Governor." Arnold briefed Tang Bao about Huffman's identity. Then he turned to Huffman and said, "This is Tang Bao, the chairman of Phoenix Investment Group, a top investor on Wall Street and one of the richest people in the world!" ”

Phoenix Investment Group, Tang Bao!

Hefman's heart couldn't help but be surprised, even if he hadn't deliberately investigated, he didn't feel unfamiliar with the name "Tang Bao" at all.

Tang Bao is the founder of Phoenix Investment Group. Last year, Fortune magazine revealed in an exclusive interview that Tang Bao ranked third on the Forbes rich list with a net worth of $12 billion, and deservedly became the richest man in China. Now that a year has passed, it is difficult to estimate how much Tang Bao's wealth will increase.

"It turned out to be Mr. Tang, and it's a great honor to be able to meet you here." Huffman put away his mind and made a look of sudden realization. Then he shook hands with Tang Bao warmly again, "Mr. Tang came to Minas Gerais as a guest, and the state government has not received any news. What a dereliction of duty. ”

After a slight pause, he asked tentatively, "Mr. Tang suddenly came to Brazil for an investment investigation, right?" ”

"There are plans to do so." Tang Bao smiled and nodded.

"Hah, that's perfect. Minas Gerais is one of the most developed states in Brazil, with excellent infrastructure, abundant natural resources and investment opportunities. ”

This......

Tang Bao was a little hesitant, and his initial plan was to lay a foundation in São Paulo, the economic center of Brazil. There was no attempt to expand into other states in a hurry.

But.

After thinking about it again, Tang Bao finally did not refuse the other party's kindness, and nodded: "Hmm." Well, if I have the right goal, I would consider investing here. ”

Huffman wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Arnold. "Alright. Hefman, it's getting late, and Mr. Tang is going back to the hotel to rest. If your state government really wants to invite Mr. Don to invest in Minas Gerais, you can choose another time to talk. ”

"Ugh."

Arnold stood up to stir up the situation, which made Huffman angry, but he suddenly realized that it was late at night, and it was indeed inappropriate to force Tang Bao to talk about investment, so he could only reluctantly give up and continue to entangle. Then he smiled tentatively and asked, "It's okay." Then I'll visit tomorrow? ”

There is a sense that Tang Bao will not let him leave if he does not agree.

"Always welcome!"

Tang Bao said with a smile.

And then.

Get into the car and leave under the watchful eyes of Arnold and Huffman!

After returning to the hotel and rinsing briefly, the time had come to three o'clock in the morning, even though Tang Bao was full of energy, he also felt unbearable, and he fell asleep after lying on the bed for less than two minutes.

Next.

Tang Bao slowly woke up from his deep sleep, it seemed that the sun was very good today, and the strong light penetrated the curtains, which stimulated Tang Bao to subconsciously squint his eyes slightly. He slept deeply, but woke up feeling a little tired. It's no wonder that yesterday I drove more than four hours from São Paulo, and talked to Arnold, Huffman and others about late at night, and there was hardly any rest time in between, how could I not be tired.

Tang Bao, who opened his eyes, still lay on the bed for a while before turning over and sitting up.

"So late?" I took the Patek Philippe watch on the bedside table, glanced at it a little, and found that it was almost eleven o'clock.

After a quick tidy-up.

Tang Bao walked out of the bedroom without hurrying, only Lei was alone, and everyone else was gone. He was surprised and asked, "What about the others?" ”

"It should all be in the café downstairs. That Huffman came again last night, and the boss didn't get up, so Kate had to deal with Morais and others. Natalia followed the past to prevent accidents...... "Ray replied.

"Huffman is here?" Tang Bao was surprised.

"Hmm. It came at eight o'clock. Ray nodded in response.

Eight o'clock.

At two o'clock in the morning, he stayed in Vale's company, and at eight o'clock in the morning, he came to the hotel again, this fat man is really energetic.

"The fat man has been waiting until now?"

"Fatty?" Lei couldn't help but be stunned, but soon understood who the fat man in Tang Bao's mouth was referring to, "Well, I should have been waiting downstairs all the time, otherwise Miss Kate would have returned a long time ago." ”

Oh.

Tang Bao nodded in understanding.

……

Soon.

Tang Bao and Ray found Kate and the others in the café downstairs, and Huffman was there as expected.

"Mr. Huffman, it's a pleasure to meet again. I'm really sorry to sleep a little deeply, and make Mr. Huffman wait so long. ”

And then.

Tang Bao turned his head to look at Kate, his face was slightly gloomy, and he pretended to reproach, "Mr. Hefman is here, why didn't you wake me up?" ”

"Ah, Mr. Tang, you can't blame Miss Kate for that. It was I who stopped Miss Kate, and it would be a sin to disturb Mr. Tang's rest because of my visit. It's okay to wait, I'm idle anyway. Huffman hurriedly explained with a smile, and the gesture was very low...... It gives people the feeling that when they speak to Tang Bao, they have a bit of a servile taste.

Scold.

The corners of Tang Bao's mouth floated with an imperceptible faint smile, and he pretended to blame Kate for only showing Herfman, after all, he made the other party wait for three hours, and if he didn't explain a word, he would inevitably leave a rude, arrogant and arrogant impression on the other party.

Since Huffman didn't mind, Tang Bao naturally borrowed a donkey to go downhill.

"Hmm. It happened to be lunch time, so having a light meal together was regarded as my reparation. Tang Bao said with a smile.

"Don't dare. I have to invite you to dinner, Mr. Tang is a distinguished guest in Minas Gerais, how can you break the bank. Huffman said busily. He knew very well that with Tang Bao's worth, it was naturally impossible to care about the cost of a meal, but this involved the issue of sincerity.

So.

Huffman said nothing could save money for the meal.

Entertain Tang Bao well and attract the other party to invest in Minas Gerais, and the return will be difficult to measure with money alone.

Arguably.

Tang Bao himself is a movable type signboard, and his investment in Minas Gerais is very likely to attract a large number of investors.

……

Lunch was only four dishes and one soup, which was not very rich, but each dish was exceptionally exquisite, and it was clear that Huffman had put a lot of effort into selecting the dishes.

Just like in China, Brazilians have a habit of talking about business at the wine table.

It's not.

After three glasses, Huffman quietly turned the conversation to investing. No way, he is a government official, so he is naturally eager to make some political achievements.

"Mr. Tang, Minas Gerais is one of the most popular investment areas for foreign investors due to its well-developed infrastructure and light and heavy industries......

In the face of Huffman's passionate commentary, Tang Bao only smiled, and occasionally echoed it, but obviously did not buy these fancy boasts. Minas Gerais is one of the most mineral-rich states in Brazil, and Tang Bao is naturally a close focus, and he has a little knowledge of the general information here. It can be said that there is a big gap between what Huffman described and what he collected!

No.

It should be said that there is a lot of moisture! Minas Gerais's economy is among the top three in Brazil, but it's nowhere near as rosy as Huffman suggests.

Of course.

Huffman didn't know that Tang Bao had investigated Minas Gerais, otherwise, it would not have been possible to brag shamelessly and desperately fool around.

"Huh. Mr. Tang also came at a good time to coincide with the recent private and industrial activities of state-owned enterprises in Minas Gerais, and there are many high-quality assets in private enterprises. Many European and American companies are attracted to it! This is a rare opportunity. Huffman said with a smile.

"Oh?"

Tang Bao couldn't help but move. The vast majority of today's Brazilian state-owned enterprises are completely rotten, but sometimes they can find treasures in the rags.

Hey.

Huffman couldn't help but smile in his heart, secretly saying that there was a play. Although Tang Bao's expression was only fleeting, it did not escape his eyes.

Thereupon.

Huffman continued, "Many of the SOEs that have been sold have ready-made production equipment and skilled workers that can be taken over and run straight away. ”

"If that's the case, why is the government pushing for privatization?" Tang Bao asked with a smile. He does not deny that there will be some convenience from directly taking over state-owned enterprises, but it is absolutely impossible to operate directly as Huffman said, and the enterprises that are sold are more or less problematic. Brazil's privatization-ownership policy has just been promoted, and the first ones to be pushed out are problematic assets, and high-quality assets are willing to be sold.

"Naturally, it is ...... to introduce competition and improve production efficiency"

Listening to Huffman's official answer, Tang Bao just smiled silently and did not continue to dwell on this large-scale topic.

"In the morning, when I was chatting with Miss Kate, I learned that Mr. Tang was interested in investing in Brazil's mineral resources. It just so happened that there were a number of mining companies in the privatization auction. Huffman's tone paused slightly, and then he smiled and said, "Among them, the most eye-catching is Pat Mining Company!" The company has reserves of more than 200 million tonnes of high-grade iron ore and has five mining concessions pending. Once these mining concessions are granted, Pat Mining's iron ore reserves could double again. ”

Yes.

Pat Mining Company ......

Tang Bao, Kate, Morais and the others all looked at each other, and then showed a strange look on their faces. (To be continued.) )
