Chapter 561: Brazilian Tobacco!
"I studied botany. Before that, though, I was a geography major! Rakov replied honestly.
"No wonder, go on, what are the chances of success if we transplant that kind of tobacco from Brazil to us!" Lin Yu smiled strangely, regardless of what he had said so much nonsense before, and asked directly.
"According to my research and speculation, at least seventy percent of the certainty!" Clough glanced at Lin Yu cautiously before replying.
"Seventy percent, it's okay, then why don't you secretly bring some seeds back?" Lin Yu asked a little depressed.
"We've brought this tobacco with us, and I've asked to go to Brazil to learn the technology, and all the failed taro cultivated here!"
Clough lowered his head and whispered that for a tobacco expert, there was more frustration for him than failure to cultivate tobacco.
"So that's the case, you have a lot of credit for the matter of Crafts, well, I will reward you with a bonus of 30,000 US dollars as your hard work!"
Lin Yu originally wanted to reward the vain name, but then Lin Yu suddenly thought that the tobacco expert's family life was not very good, and immediately changed his words to a financial reward.
"Thank you, great Mr. Lin Yu!" Clough immediately gave a look of surprise, and for $30,000, Clough could buy a villa where he lived.
At the end of March 1, Lin Yu's luxury SĪ plane ordered in France arrived in Italy, and this luxury SĪ aircraft costing more than 2 billion yuan not only has the world's most advanced navigation and radar system, but also has evasion missiles and self-defense systems.
Lin Yu is very full of this plane, although the price of more than 2 billion is a little expensive, but it is worth the money, Italy and Indonesia are specially equipped with four fighter jets for the safety of Lin Yu, and the sī people have fighter escorts, Lin Yu is still the first.
At the end of March 1, Lin Yu took his special plane... Destination Brazil, it's a pity that the escort fighter can't accompany Lin Yu's special plane to Brazil, but when they arrive in Brazil's airspace, they have their own people to escort it, and Lin Yu's first high-profile sī plane trip started.
Brazil is the fifth largest and fifth most populous country in the world... Brazil is also a multi-ethnic country, where Africans, Asian, European, and other ethnic groups can be found. At the same time, Brazil, like Africa, is a country that has suffered from many years of colonial rule.
Brazil is also the largest country in South America by area and the fastest growing economy. It is the epitome of the world's national melting pot. Brazil was a Portuguese colony for 300 years. In the 16th century, when the colonists landed in Brazil, they found that there was a valuable tree here------~-Brazilwood... From it, the rare red sè dye in Europe can be extracted, so the wood is called "mahogany" and then evolved into a national name. Brazil covers an area of 851.49 million square kilometers, accounting for about 46% of the total area of South America, and is the fifth largest country in the world after Russia, Canada, China and the United States.
The topography of Brazil is mainly divided into two parts, one is the Brazilian plateau above 500 meters above sea level, which is distributed in the south of Brazil, and the other part is the plain below 200 meters above sea level... It is mainly found in the Amazon basin in the north and in the west. The terrain of the whole territory is divided into the Amazon Plain, the Paraguay Basin, the Brazilian Altiplano and the Guiana Plateau, of which the Amazon Plain accounts for about 13 of the country's area. There are three major river systems: Amazon, Paraná and San Francisco. The Amazon River is 6,751 kilometers long and traverses northwestern Brazil... The Ba River basin covers an area of 3.9 million square kilometers; The Paraná River system includes the Paraná River and the Paraguay River, which flow through the southwest, with many jī streams and waterfalls, and has abundant hydraulic resources; The San Francisco River system is a kilometre-long river that flows through the arid northeast and is the main source of irrigation water for the region. The coastline is several kilometers long, with a width of 12 nautical miles in the territorial sea and 188 nautical miles in the exclusive economic zone outside the territorial zone.
Among them, the Amazon Plain is the largest plain in the world, and the Amazon River is the largest river in the world in terms of water volume... The Brazilian Altiplano is the largest plateau in the world.
São Paulo is the largest city in the Southern Hemisphere.
Most of the region has a tropical climate, and parts of the south have a subtropical climate. The average annual temperature in the Amazon plain is 25~28 degrees, and the average annual temperature in the southern region is 16~19 degrees.
Brazil is very different ethnically and culturally. Most of the inhabitants of the south are of European descent, dating back to the early 19th century from Italy, Germany,
Immigrants from countries such as Ōlan, Spain, Ukraine, and Portugal. The inhabitants of the north and north-east are partly indigenous, partly of European or African descent. The southeast region is the most ethnically widespread region in Brazil, with a predominantly white (mainly Portuguese and Italian) mestizo, Afro-Brazilian mestizo, and Asian and Indian descent.
Throughout Brazil... Brazilians, Portuguese, and Africans are frequently mixed. In the 19th century, the immigrations of Asia and Europe began to be stabbed, with Germans beginning to arrive in 1818, Italians in 1875, Spaniards in 1880, and Japanese, Syrians, and Lebanese in the early 20th century. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, Brazil's greatest migration wave took place in the southeast, with Italians and Portuguese becoming the main components of this migration, as the emancipation of slaves began, at a time when plantations and fledgling Brazilian industries required a large number of laborers.
Between 1884 and 1962 alone, more than 10,000 immigrants moved to Brazil, mainly from Portugal, Spain, Italy, Germany, France,
Ōlan and Arab States. Most of the yellow people are from Japan, North Korea and China. There are 1.3 million Japanese and 250,000 Chinese in Brazil, mainly in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.
Agriculture and Animal HusbandryBrazil has a well-developed agriculture and animal husbandry industry, and is the world's main producer of sugar, coffee, citrus, corn, chicken, beef, tobacco, and soybeans. Brazil is the world's largest producer and exporter of coffee, known as the "Kingdom of Coffee". Brazil is also the world's largest producer and exporter of sugar, the second-largest producer and exporter of soybeans, and the third-largest producer of corn. The arable land area of the country is about one hectare, and it is known as the "granary of the world in the 21st century".
In 2011, Brazil's area of genetically modified crops increased by 20% compared to 200 years, and the country's land area devoted to the cultivation of genetically modified soybeans, corn and cotton reached 30.3 million hectares. Brazil's planted area of genetically modified crops has shown double-digit year-on-year growth for four consecutive years, ranking first in the world. The country currently ranks second in the world in terms of area of genetically modified crops after the United States.
Relying on its agricultural advantages, Brazil began the research and development of green energy in the 70s of the 20th century, refining fuel from sugarcane, soybean, oil palm and other crops, becoming a model for the development of green energy in the world. Currently, Brazil is not only the world's largest producer and exporter of biofuels... It is also the only country in the world that does not supply pure gasoline nationwide. 46% of the fuel consumed in Brazil is renewable energy sources such as ethanol, which is higher than the global average of 1 kick.
It is precisely because Brazil is in good condition that Brazil is also a proud country, although in Lin Yu's opinion, this pride is very inconsistent with their national conditions.
It's also because of this pride... Brazil has a lot of national industrial protection laws, and there are even many things originating in Brazil that prohibit the export of technology, and the tobacco seeds and technologies that Lin Yu wants this time are one of them.
The tobacco that Lin Yu wants is called 'Carbona Tobacco' in Brazil, which was improved by a Brazilian named Carbona, this kind of tobacco is suitable for sour cultivation, especially for places with high ground temperatures, and the yield of Carbona tobacco is very high, and the quality of this tobacco is also good... It is also one of the most popular tobaccos smoked by the local population in Brazil, and since it is not grown in other countries in the world, Cabenla tobacco is also listed as one of the prohibited technologies for export in Brazil.
In fact, the cultivation of cabenla tobacco has always been in the hands of a few large Brazilian families, who have a monopoly on the technology, which is why it is forbidden to export to other countries.
Brazil and Chile are located on the South American continent and have tropical and subtropical climates, which are naturally suitable for tobacco cultivation.
Brazil's tobacco production is second only to China and the United States... It is the third largest tobacco growing country in the world. With an annual output of about 600,000 tons of tobacco leaves, the export volume of tobacco leaves ranks first in the world, with an annual export volume of 30x400,000 tons. Brazil and Chile tobacco markets are open markets... In terms of the market share of the South American cigarette market, several large international tobacco multinational conglomerates, such as Philip Morris, Continental and Universal, only occupy a small market, while British American Tobacco occupies a more solid controlling position.
It is understood that British American Tobacco (BAT) was founded in 1qC2. In 1903, he founded the Anglo-American Brazilian Tobacco Company, and in 1909, he founded the Anglo-American Chilean Company. The tobacco industry in Brazil and Chile has a history of 90 years. For a long time, Brazil has played an important role as the development center of British American Tobacco in Central and South America, and BAT has established a modern tobacco research and development center in Rio de Janeiro, which has a group of senior scientific and technological personnel, engaged in soil analysis, pest control, and improved seed cultivation... and high-tech, including genetic research and applications.
The tobacco industry in Brazil and Chile is a joint-stock system. BAT has a 7% stake in Brazil and a 70% stake in Chile. BAT's Rio de Janeiro tobacco company Susa Ruz (0062A09UZ) is engaged in cigarette manufacturing and marketing management. The annual sales volume of cigarettes in Brazil and Chile is 170 billion, of which 120 billion are in Brazil. Susa Cruz's marketing accounts for the market. The market management implements the network distribution system, with 190,000 direct sales points and thousands of delivery vehicles in Brazil, with a high degree of modern management. The distribution center will be required by each point of sale required by the microcomputer sorting. Box... The delivery man will send the resources out according to the specified time, place and route. In the distribution center, the delivery vehicles are monitored through a microcomputer.
Brazilian and Chilean tobacco companies have taken a proactive and prudent approach to smoking and health. On the one hand, use legal means to safeguard the interests of the industry; On the other hand, through public relations and activities that are beneficial to social welfare, we have won the understanding and support of the society.
On this issue, the idea of pulling out people and Chileans is the same, and what Lin Yu is doing is to rob them of their money, and they are naturally unwilling.
