Chapter 197 Investment Advisory Firms
Of course, Global Trade's assistance to Brazilian SMEs is not free, and the cooperation method is very flexible, and joint ventures can be built. Investors pay for the project, global trade out of the project, out of the plan, out of the management.
Generally, this kind of project Global Trade has to occupy more than 30% of the shares.
This is an acceptable percentage for most entrepreneurs in Brazil who aspire to enter the industrial manufacturing sector.
The other form is the form of full charge, which splits the entire link and charges one item.
For example, if you don't know what industry you want to work in, you can ask a professional consultant to advise you, which costs a fee.
By purchasing equipment through Global Trade, Global Trade's quotation will be higher than that of other companies.
However, the complete after-sales service of global trade is also incomparable to other enterprises, and will teach your workers to produce qualified products by hand.
If businesses need skills training, Global Trade can provide that too.
In short, run a business, find the world. It has become the consensus of small and medium-sized businessmen in Brazil.
At first, the purpose of Fang Lang's arrangement for Mr. Redondo to carry out this business was also to quickly build a number of small and medium-sized enterprises in Brazil and improve Brazil's industrial base.
I didn't expect it to be so successful.
"Boss, it's nice to meet you."
Redondo still hasn't changed at all, his figure is still the same as the original thin and tall, but his spirit seems very confident, maybe this is the effect of often lecturing others!
Fang Lang pointed to the stool beside him, motioned for Redondo to sit down, handed him a cigar and said:
"Mr. Redondo, I have two things for you to do."
I don't know if it's because of the last time the news was spread, the young boss in front of Redondo's mind made him a little afraid.
Hearing that the boss had something to arrange for him to do, he hurriedly sat down and said:
"Please!"
Seeing Redondo's appearance, Fang Lang leaked a kind smile and said:
"Don't be nervous, it's easy this time. I was supposed to let my assistant do it, but I'm going to ask you because you're familiar with the situation in Rio."
Redondo's expression remained unchanged and said with a serious face:
"It's my pleasure to serve the boss, please give me the order, and I will do it for you immediately."
"It's very simple, the first is that I'm probably going to come to Rio de Janeiro more often in the future, and I want you to help me find a beautiful home here.
The environment should be good, preferably by the sea; The floor area should be large enough, as I may often need to entertain guests; Preferably in a safe and private location.
If there is no suitable place, we buy a piece of land and we build it ourselves."
Actually, it doesn't matter if Fang Lang doesn't buy a house, after all, every time he comes to the hotel in Rio, he can be reimbursed by the army.
However, after experiencing a night in a luxurious manor yesterday, Fang Lang felt that it was interesting to have a big manor of his own.
He is not short of money, and he has to be comfortable with a home of his own.
After listening to Fang Lang's words, Lei Dongduo pondered for a while, and then his eyes lit up and said:
"Boss, I know there is a place that is perfect for your requirements, but it may be a little further away from the city, but there is absolutely no need to worry about safety.
At the foot of a hill not far from the Rio Naval Base, there is a luxurious manor house from the time of the Brazilian Empire, which is built in the Baroque style and has a very large area.
As far as I know, the mountains behind the manor belong to this manor, and the gate of the manor is about five kilometers from the naval base.
There is a small marina by the sea and about three kilometers of white sand beach by the sea.
We will have to investigate who the owner of this manor is, but as far as I know, this manor has not been inhabited for a long time.
There are only a few workers who take care of the manor's sanitation where they live, and there are some farmers in the back hills who often go to work."
"Oh! It's a few steps away from the hotel where we are now
How far is it?"
"No more than twenty kilometers."
"Let's go, let's take a look."
After hearing Redondo's description, Fang Lang couldn't wait, this was also the first property he had bought.
Under the protection of the guards, the two rode to the place Redondo had mentioned.
"Redondo, I heard that the consulting business you are doing now is very popular! He has a lot of influence among Brazilian merchants!"
On the way, Fang Lang asked about Lei Dongduo's business situation, although the assistant would compile a book and report to him on these situations.
However, there is still no clear understanding with the main person in charge.
"Yes boss, now we have supported nearly 20 medium-sized companies in Rio with an investment scale of nearly 1 million US dollars, and more than 60 small enterprises with an investment scale of less than 100000 US dollars.
The number is growing every day."
Speaking of his work, Redondo is also very proud.
"Oh! How many of them have our shares?"
"We have a stake in eight medium-sized companies and 42 small businesses."
This number made Fang Lang stunned, not that this number was less, but Fang Lang felt that this number was too much, and if there was continued global trade to manage it, there might be problems.
After thinking for a while, Fang Lang said:
"Mr. Redondo, what do you think of our consulting project?"
"Boss, this is definitely a genius idea."
"I want to separate this project and set up an investment consulting company, are you interested in becoming a CEO?"
Redondo obviously didn't expect Fang Lang to suddenly have such an idea, but he was soon relieved.
After all, it is indeed easy for the current trading company to do this business in a chaotic situation, and after his focus has been on this side recently, many of the original businesses have been a little overwhelmed.
After thinking seriously for a while, Redondo asked:
"Boss, what are the specific charters of this investment consulting company? How big is it?"
"This is an idea that I have just come up with, and I am initially going to set up a new joint venture between the Brazilian Development Bank and Global Trade Brazil.
The company's main business is investment consulting, which is what we do now, but I hope to be able to do it in a more detailed and professional way.
Under this company, a special asset management company will be set up to manage the situation of the joint-stock company that we have in charge.
If we can even run a good company to go public, then our investment advisory company will be very promising."
In fact, there are many such companies in later generations, and they are an important part of the financial industry.
The business scope of investment consulting companies generally includes: investment consulting, investment management, asset management, venture capital, industrial investment, marketing planning, corporate image planning, business consulting, enterprise management consulting, intellectual property agency, etc.
For example, McKinsey, Accenture, Deloitte, Bain and so on.
Of course, these companies have begun to appear in this era, so Fang Lang's idea is actually not creative.
Fang Lang's words obviously made Lei Dongduo moved, he is an American, and he understands how much profit a company will have if it goes public, and the prospects of such a company are even more than global trade.
Thinking of this, I no longer hesitated:
"Boss, I'd love to work for this new company."
Fang Lang originally thought that Lei Dondo was going to go back and think about it, but he didn't expect him to agree directly, patted him on the shoulder and said:
"A very wise choice! I'm sure you won't regret it."
Of course, Redondo is directly responsible for the rest, and there is no need for Fang Lang to participate too much, just notify the Brazilian Development Bank to arrange personnel to participate.
Soon, the two of them arrived, the manor that Redondo was talking about,
Because the gate of the manor is locked, you can only get out of the car and go around the beach to enter the manor.
From afar, Lang saw the manor, a building at least two hundred years old, with a marble façade carved throughout.
From a distance, it looks like it has a sense of luxury, the building is three stories high, and the width of the façade is more than 100 meters, and the specific depth is impossible to see.
There are two long rows of marble sculptures on both sides of the main entrance, which has a strong artistic atmosphere.
The white marble has left traces of erosion over time, and it looks a little mottled.
The whole building is as luxurious as a palace in the sunlight.
Fang Lang's first feeling was that it was too high-profile and not suitable for him to live in.
However, the second thing Fang Lang wanted Lei Dongduo to do was to find a place to build a naval club to use as a place for important members of the military and political circles to exchange feelings.
This place is obviously a perfect fit!
After walking along the beach for a while, you can see the side of the building in the distance.
At this moment, Fang Lang's heart was only deeply shocked, and he looked at Lei Dongduo beside him:
"This won't be Pedro I's palace!"
"Huh? I don't think so, I didn't ask who it was."
Redondo apparently didn't know exactly who the building's owner was, but Colonel Titch should have known.
However, Fang Lang was not prepared to let Colonel Tiqi handle this matter, and he did not want people to know that he was the owner of the club after establishing a club here in the future.
"You said that the land around here belongs to this manor, right?"
"Yes, boss!"
"I'll leave it to you, find his master, and buy it. But it's too luxurious, it's not bad to run as a hotel, it's too luxurious to live in, there are at least nearly 200 rooms here."
Seeing that the boss was satisfied with this place, Redondo was also relieved, as for whether he could buy this place, he was not worried, after all, as long as the money was in place, what could not be bought?
"Okay, boss. What about your estate?"
"It's a nice place here, so let's find another piece of land around here. When the time comes, I will build a Su garden here."
In Fang Lang's mind, he still prefers Chinese-style architecture, especially the pavilions and pavilions of Su's garden, Fang Lang really has a soft spot.
Especially if you think about putting a set of kung fu tea sets in the pavilion, boiling water and making tea in a small red clay stove, you feel relaxed and comfortable when you think about it.
More importantly, it can bring some Chinese elements to Brazil, so that Brazilians subtly start to like this style.
"Su's Garden?" Redondo had a question mark on his face, obviously touching his knowledge blind spot.
Fang Lang smiled and said:
"You only need to buy a piece of land of five or six hectares nearby, and I will arrange for a special master to come and build it at that time."
Think of the huge mahogany in the Brazilian Amazon jungle, which is a perfect match for the Su Garden.
Seeing that Fang Lang had already made a decision, Lei Dondo didn't say anything more.
