Chapter 33: Two Places (3)
As people get older, they always pay more attention to feelings. Huang Jindi is no exception.
In the past two months, he has felt a great dissipation of energy, and he seems to be unable to lift himself up for anything, he does not like this feeling, he has worked all his life, and does not want to have a spare year.
But the reality is stubborn, even more stubborn than the stubbornness of the old man.
As many people have said, perhaps it was the dissipated energy that brought him closer to nature, or perhaps the desire for life that brought him closer to religion, and Huang Jindi began to look at Taoist classics and Buddhist scriptures. It was in this mood that he met Huang Xuan in the anniversary.
An indescribable feeling surrounded the old man, and Huang Jindi felt that his eldest grandson might not be as unbearable as people rumored, and if he could have another 20 years, he would definitely be able to train a perfect successor.
If......
Huang Jindi felt that the fatal flaw of his life was cowardice about the future—although others did not think that this old man who still calls the wind and rain to this day—this cowardice made him content with the status quo, and made him unwilling to touch Huang's increasingly decaying and growing torso.
In the dark, Huang Jindi regarded Huang Xuan as himself, he hoped that his eldest grandson would not follow in his footsteps, and hoped that his eldest grandson could carry the banner of the Huang family - only he could carry it.
"Be brave and ......", time, so that Huang Jindi can only hope for Huang Xuan, and there is only hope left.
……
There are many flights from China to Brazil, Air France, Lufthansa, KLM via Europe, South African Airways via Johannesburg, and United Airlines via the United States, but you need to prepare a US visa. At this time, it can be seen that Zhang Xinyi is shrewd, under the pretext of a long transit time to Europe, she chose a United Airlines flight for Huang Xuan and others, so that Huang Xuan has a reason to get a U.S. visa - of course, the cost is definitely much higher than going to Europe - but if necessary, Huang Xuan can also have another way.
The plane took off at 2 p.m. on Sunday, and when Huang Xuan looked down at the white clouds, he had already taken care of everything he could handle: saying goodbye to his family, saying goodbye to his classmates, and temporarily handing over the aluminum plant to Li Shenggang to manage ....... The base will continue to stay there, but as long as he carries the energy chain, the contact with Lorraine will not be interrupted, and after completing this most important work, Huang Xuan is only reluctant to give up.
The mother was very strong when she said goodbye, as if she was sending her son on a short trip, Huang Xuan hugged her gently, and silently promised in her heart, "You must step back to this land with dignity." ”
The flight gradually became stable, the flight attendant signaled that he could unbuckle his seat belt, Huang Xuan pulled the cumbersome thing off, ignored his father's face, and turned his head out of the window.
A large area of clouds was leaping under the wings, and the blue sky became an embellishment, Huang Xuan greedily looked at these familiar and unfamiliar scenes on weekdays, for fear that he would never see such clouds and such blue again after stepping off the plane.
"Lorraine, are you still there?" Although he had already received Lorraine's assurances, Huang Xuan was still worried that he would disappear when he needed it most.
"Yes."
"Can you cure Grandpa? I mean his body. ”
"He's not sick, he's just weak."
"So what?" Huang Xuan felt that he had also become weaker.
"There are many ways to regain vitality, but I can't do it at the moment."
Huang Xuan had known this result for a long time, but he still couldn't help but ask, and then got a disappointed answer. The clouds outside the window churned and fell backwards, and his lips trembled, and he said, "Lorraine, when are you going to do it, I mean, in a similar way." ”
"This requires not only the base level, but also the materials of the current plane, and the specific time cannot be estimated."
Huang Xuan fell silent again.
Huang's father is also silent, he is an unsmiling father, impeccable in fulfilling his father's responsibilities, but not good at expressing himself, more often, the communication with Huang Xuan is done by Zhang Xinyi. Even at this time, Huang Qunsheng himself was somewhat sad.
Also on his way to Brazil was Huang's father's life assistant Li Qing, who had just been promoted to temporary housekeeper and his responsibilities hadn't changed much, but his salary had obviously increased a lot.
For him, it doesn't matter whether he stays in Brazil or stays in Brazil, it may be more pleasant to go abroad for free, but maybe it is the silence of the Huang family father and son that infects him, and maybe he also foreshadows the difficulty of being in Brazil, but his face shows a slight worry.
……
When it comes to Brazil, most Chinese know its football, its samba, and its carnival, but few know its soybeans, its coffee.
In fact, Brazil, the most economically powerful country in Latin America, has the world's largest producers of sugar, coffee and citrus, the world's second-largest producers of cocoa and soybeans, and the world's third-largest producer of corn, while China is the world's largest importer of soybeans. More precisely, when an average Chinese takes a barrel of soybean oil from a supermarket, it has a greater than 1 in 10 chance of coming from Brazil.
The Huang family's main investment in Brazil is in ports and agriculture.
In terms of agriculture, Brazil is a strange country, unlike China, which began to cultivate civilization thousands of years ago, Brazil is still in the era of reclamation, with about 400 million hectares of arable land and 1.2 billion hectares of land that can be used for development, while the current arable land area is only more than 50 million hectares, although it has increased by 1.8% year by year in the past 20 years, but it only accounts for 6% of the country's land area.
Such data can shock any Chinese, if Mr. Qin Shihuang knew that there was such a good land in a foreign land, he would definitely dream of crossing the ocean with the iron hooves of Great Qin.
On the plane, Huang Xuan was alone flipping through the documents his mother had given him. This is an annex to a share transfer agreement that transfers all of Huang's Fund's properties in Brazil to Huang Xuan's name and is operated by his guardian until he turns 18.
As Huang's largest investment abroad, it has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Shengfeng Company, in Brazil. It has 3 farms in Brazil's famous "savanna", covering a total area of 120,000 hectares. According to the purchase price that year, the market value per hectare was $1,070, for a total of $130 million.
In addition, Sifang Group and Huang's Fund each hold a 50% stake in Xihuang Industrial, while the latter holds a 10% stake in Docas, a company mainly engaged in port construction, owning the rights to operate the world's largest coffee export port, Santos Port, and more than a dozen other port interests of various sizes, with a total value of more than $150 million.
The two phases are superimposed, Huang Xuan has assets of 200 million US dollars in the blink of an eye, not only that, these two properties are excellent benign assets, and they are the bridgehead for the Huang Group's overseas expansion, and the transfer of such an important asset to a three-generation descendant who has not yet reached adulthood is the biggest factor in the fierce opposition of others.
To this end, Huang Jindi must have made great efforts.
