The Brazilian government suddenly sent someone to contact him to ask for business cooperation, but it was indeed unexpected by Chen Zhiwen, he never thought of investing in Brazil during this time period, and even in the future, he may not necessarily go, after all, Asia, Europe and the United States alone are super large markets and have a lot of opportunities.

But it's normal to think about it, the scale of Midea, its own acquisition of Disney, plus the large-scale acquisition in Hong Kong just now, has a small reputation in the world, and some countries take the initiative to find themselves, which is reasonable, after all, unless it is a top developed country such as Europe, America and Japan, most other developing countries are also eager to have foreign investment to drive the economy and employment.

On the Brazilian side, there are actually not many things that can attract Chen Zhiwen, and there are some in its own market, but this has little to do with whether or not you go to invest.

The investment project is a large area of land that can be used as a farm and pasture and a variety of mining, but the mining area, the first is that Hutchison itself is inexperienced, a Christmas Creek is enough energy, even if Brazil is willing to sell some mines, he does not want to take over, this kind of interests involved are too many, foreign capital is difficult to control, just like the first Vale of a super iron mine, in fact, it was originally discovered by the United States Steel Company, and then the two joint ventures developed for several years, but finally broke up.

Even the U.S. Steel Company, which has American capital behind it, can't bear it, Chen Zhiwen has little interest in taking the initiative to participate, compared with Canada and Australia, Brazil's various policy risks are definitely much greater, maybe one day because of a law, force you to sell your own mine.

Therefore, for Vale, it is enough to invest purely economically, although it divides their profits, but the real interest of a large company is not in the stock market, but in the employment and economy formed by its industrial chain before and after, like the automobile industry.

Purely only as an investor, and the share is not large, then generally will not be troubled, and when Vale went public in the 90s, it became a company invested by a large number of investors around the world, and at that time the Brazilian government was relatively more reasonable, and there would be no ZZ risk, as long as most of the benefits can be guaranteed to be their own, the average person is still happy to maintain normal international rules.

As for the farm, this thing can be invested directly, because the efficiency is relatively low, and there is no front and rear industrial chain, the Brazilian government will not be a black hand on this industry, let alone specifically target foreign capital, because it is not worth it, after all, foreign capital comes in to expand farm income, does not infringe on the interests of local people, and can also bring the government a foreign exchange income plus long-term stable taxes, although it will not be very high.

The big change is that after ten years, Brazil and many countries in South America will change the freehold property policy, and then buy it again, and the lease period will be 99 years!

As for the Amazon rainforest after the felling of the farm, if he is allowed to invest now, it will definitely not work, his funds are also limited, but if after 90 years, then there should be no problem, such a cheap land, and then spend money to invest in building a farm, it is also cost-effective, as long as the traffic out is no problem, then it is stable, the water source does not need to be considered too much, can become a wild rainforest place, basically there will be no shortage of water, but to consider whether there will be too much water.

And environmental protection, Chen Zhiwen can't control it, without himself, Brazil should cut the rainforest or cut it, so it is better to participate in it.

The next day, Chen Zhiwen arranged a team of up to 60 people to go to Brazil to explore various situations, such as the state-owned farms that Brazil is willing to sell, and the selection of suitable locations next to the Amazon rainforest. Anyway, Chen Zhiwen is not in a hurry, just take your time, these things make no difference if you buy them a few years later.

As for himself, he took some of the company's senior executives and his own family members to the UK on his own private jet.

In April, Britain has come out of the cold winter, and the temperature has been much more comfortable.

As early as two years ago, Chen Zhiwen arranged for someone to buy a private castle in the UK, and arranged a professional renovation team to decorate, like the courtyard in Yanjing City, without changing the structure, the entire castle added air conditioning and heating, electrical facilities, etc., all the air conditioning outlets, were buried, but the temperature in the castle can always be warm in winter and cool in summer.

This is also the first time Chen Zhiwen has come to live here, he has long arranged for people around the world to buy some existing ancient buildings, these can not only be used for living, but also can be regarded as part of the antiques, and such buildings, the total amount is limited, only less and less, even if there are real estate developers to build exactly the same out, but the lack of historical heritage, the value and significance are completely different.

As a super-rich man, even if he buys a priceless antique house, it is like buying a bottle of water in a supermarket, so he naturally can't personally inspect every one, sit at the headquarters in Hong Kong, look at various pictures, and compare them and decide.

"There are so many rabbits here?" Liu Xiaoli, who was wearing a British costume, was a little unaccustomed to carrying a skirt that mopped the floor.

"This kind of grass, a little rabbit will make people feel closer to nature, but not too much, too much grass will be eaten." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.

"Well, I'm not afraid of people." Liu Xiaoli squatted down and grabbed a rabbit's ear, the rabbit did not resist, still chewing the grass in its mouth, and at the same time looked at the human who picked herself up, wondering what the two beasts wanted to do.

"The people here also often give them food to eat, so they are not afraid of people." Chen Zhiwen also grabbed a rabbit and said, "Let's go, let's go roast the rabbit." ”

"The UK also likes to eat rabbits?" Liu Xiaoli asked.

"I don't like it, but there are some people who eat it." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.

Originally, Europe didn't eat rabbits much, but during World War II, meat was scarce, so all kinds of rabbits were targeted, although after the end of World War II, meat was no longer lacking, but some people continued to eat when they got used to it.

"How do you burn it? Do spicy like 4 Chuan? Liu Xiaoli asked.

"BBQ, that is, barbecue, tonight we are going to meet Prime Minister Thatcher, don't eat anything too spicy, don't have stomach problems at that time." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

As the richest man in Hong Kong, he is also a world-class super-rich, and his industries are also involved in several large industries, and when he arrives in the UK, he is also invited by the British government, and the British Prime Minister will naturally invite him to go, anyway, it is just a meeting + dinner.

"Barbecue? But my clothes are not very convenient, right? Easy to get dirty? Liu Xiaoli glanced at the clothes she was wearing and said.

"It doesn't matter, there are a lot of such clothes, let you wear them, it's just to get used to it now." Chen Zhiwen said indifferently.

When I arrived in the UK, I had to meet the Prime Minister again, and the face still had to be given, and both of them would wear a little more formal, Chen Zhiwen was naturally in a suit, and the female companion was also a traditional British dress, but Liu Xiaoli was a little uncomfortable, and now she is used to wearing it during the day.

"Okay, I remember when I was a child, I also saw other classmates catch hares and roast them to eat, but my family did not allow me to participate." Liu Xiaoli said.

"When you were a child, there was no shortage of food, and if you could have hares to eat, as many people had to rob them." Chen Zhiwen said with a light smile.

More than ten years ago in China, at that time, it was estimated that many people did not eat meat during the New Year, and Liu Xiaoli's family, although it cannot be said to be a noble family, but food and clothing are definitely not worried, parents are scholars, and the whole family can be said to be a scholarly family, and it is because of this that they have the ability to cultivate Liu Xiaoli from an early age.

Even after a few decades, art is not something that ordinary families can play.

After a while, the two of them came to a concrete clearing on the west side of the castle, on which many different types of barbecue grills were placed.

BBQ is very popular in Europe and the United States, and many people have various barbecue equipment in their backyards, and they like open-air BBQ when the whole family or friends come to party on weekends.

The same is true for large mansions or castles, where a large canopy can even be built when it rains, and BBQ activities are not affected by rain in the slightest, except in stormy environments.

Other things, such as high-grade anthracite, all kinds of delicacies have also been prepared for a long time, these foods and the like, as long as there is a demand, the small shop owner not far away will send things over, maybe not much, but the service is good, the profit is still very high.

Chen Zhiwen also got on the horse himself, and the difficulty of barbecue is not high, he often did it himself in his previous life, or went to a special self-service store, and after crossing over to Hong Kong, he occasionally did it himself outside the villa in Hong Kong.

"It tastes good." Liu Xiaoli praised after tasting a few bites, but she roasted it herself, but it was a little burnt.

"Of course, everyone can eat whatever they want." Chen Zhiwen smiled, today is not only his family, but also some senior executives of the company and their families, which can be regarded as a team building abroad.

"Don't worry, Chen Sheng, we're not welcome." Lei Shengli, the general manager of Midea, said with a smile.

Do-it-yourself, mainly a leisure, while chatting casually about home cooking, cooking barbecue and then giving it to your friends and relatives to enjoy, is also the simplest daily life.

Of course, there is still money, otherwise there would not be such a good environment and such a leisurely attitude to sit here.

In the afternoon, the dark night in Britain came a little early, and the car from the Prime Minister's Office came to pick it up, and Chen Zhiwen and Liu Xiaoli went to Buckingham Palace together.

"Hello, Madam Prime Minister, it is a pleasure to see you at Buckingham Palace." After being arranged to enter Buckingham Palace, Chen Zhiwen met the Iron Lady Thatcher, and of course Chen Zhiwen had to be polite to one of the leaders of the Five Constants, even if it was the declining Five Constants.

"Eric, the last time we saw each other was more than a year ago." Thatcher said with a smile and shaking hands.

"Yes, in February last year, in Hong Kong." Chen Zhiwen replied with a smile.

Because of the problem of Hong Kong, Thatcher also went to the mainland many times, and then went to Hong Kong several times, in September 82, Chen Zhiwen deliberately avoided it, but it is impossible to avoid it every time, at the beginning of last year, I saw it once at a public banquet.

And today, this time, it can be regarded as an official two-person meeting.
