Resource Tycoon Reborn

"Argentina is also the destination for me to inspect when I come to South America to buy a farm this time! It's just that I personally prefer Brazil." Fang Mingyuan said, "Bill, the chairman of Microsoft, knows officials in Argentina, so I asked him to help me contact him.

.”

Minister Pimenyar stretched out his hands to shake Fang Mingyuan's hand and said: "Brazil very much welcomes investors like Mr. Fang to invest in real estate, and I believe that it won't be long before you will find that when it comes to all aspects of society and

In terms of investment environment, Brazil is tens of millions of times better than Argentina! I would personally advise Mr. Fang not to invest in Argentina."

Minister Pimenyar left, and Fang Mingyuan and Falcao returned to the living room.

"Falcao, Minister Pimenyar seems to dislike Argentina very much?" Fang Mingyuan asked, "Is it because of football?" Brazil and Argentina, as the two well-known football powers in the world, are both in South America.

Over the years, there have naturally been numerous grievances and grievances in this region.

Falcao shook his head and said: "Director, Minister Pimenyar is not a fan of football. He is not interested in Argentina because of football."

"Why is that?" Fang Mingyuan asked strangely. If it was just for the investment competition between the two countries, did Minister Pimenyar need to speak so badly of Argentina? Argentina is indeed in a debt crisis and has social unrest, but he said

To be honest, Brazil also has a lot of debt. Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, and the three major countries in South America are also the countries most likely to have a debt crisis in the world.

"This... this is a long story!" Falcao said.

It turns out that Brazil and Argentina were both European colonies. One was Portugal and the other was Spain. The relationship between these two European countries was not so harmonious. Later, Brazil and Argentina gained independence. After independence, the two major countries competed for control over the territory.

Although they did not go to the extent of using large-scale force to formally start a war, they competed for the leadership position and sphere of influence in South America. There have been many frictions. Even during World War II, the armies of the two countries still regarded each other as their potential biggest enemies. Later,

, in the early 1980s, relations between the two countries began to ease.

"Minister Pimenyar is probably on the one hand because of the past relationship between Brazil and Argentina, and on the other hand he looks down on the Argentines," Falcao said.

"Look down on Argentines? Why?" Fang Mingyuan became even more curious.

"Director, you are not from South America. You don't know that in the 1940s, our country's GDP was only 80% of Argentina's. But now our country's GDP is six times that of Argentina."

Nearly seven times." Falcao said with pride, "Although we are an oil importing country and Argentina is self-sufficient in oil, we are at the forefront of the world in developing bio-liquid fuels!"

Fang Mingyuan immediately understood the mentality of Minister Pimenyar and Falcao, just like many Koreans, Singaporeans, and Japanese who looked down on China. Compared with China in history, China today is

Already far behind these small countries that could only follow behind him. A country with a population of only 40 to 50 million, a land of 100,000 square kilometers, and a lack of various resources has a gross national product that is that of China.

It is several times, more than ten times that of developed areas in coastal provinces with similar area in China! Their economic status determines their mentality.

Falcao hesitated for a moment, then continued: "Director, I think Minister Pimenyar is right. The land in Argentina is not worth your investment. Moreover, whether it is social security or the country's economy,

The speed of development and the integrity of government officials are not as good as ours in Brazil. If you inquire carefully, you will know."

Fang Mingyuan pulled a chair over and sat in front of the window, looking at the sea not far away outside the window. Falcao had left, but Lin Rong and the others had not come back yet. Fang Mingyuan was the only one in the presidential suite of Notre Dame.

There is actually such an inside story about the relationship between Brazil and Argentina. This is something Fang Mingyuan has not noticed from the information.

In fact, Fang Mingyuan didn't need the reminders of Minister Pimenyar and Falcao to know that there is indeed a big gap between Argentina and Brazil in every aspect, especially the debt that occurs every few years.

The economic crisis has caused Argentina's economic development to lag significantly behind its neighboring countries. But this year, its domestic situation has become a mess, and a social storm has gradually taken shape.

However, Fang Mingyuan could not give up on Argentina.

Because he has received the news that Mengchandu Company has made a breakthrough in the research and development of genetically modified products. Although Mengchandu Company brought back wild soybeans from China back then, Fang Mingyuan secretly disturbed its research and development.

Compared with Fang Mingyuan's previous life, the work has been delayed a lot. However, after all, Mengchandu Company has a deep foundation and there are no wild soybeans. The emergence of genetically modified soybeans is only a matter of time.

In China, although Fan Mingyuan also secretly acquired a seed research and development company, and has been continuously recruiting talents and investing heavily in the research and development of genetically modified technology in the past seven or eight years, but in this area, the country does not pay enough attention, and in addition

There is a shortage of talents and a weak technical foundation. So far, there are only a few achievements. Fang Mingyuan is applying for patents for these achievements in major countries at home and in the world.

In the expansion process of Mengchendu Company's genetically modified technology in Fan Mingyuan's previous life, Argentina can be said to be a very important part of it. It is precisely because of Argentina's "fall" in genetically modified soybeans that the Brazilian soybean industry eventually followed suit.

After being captured, the United States, Brazil, and Argentina are the three largest exporters of soybeans in the world. They are also the main producers of genetically modified soybeans, occupying the top three soybean producing countries in the world.

Fang Mingyuan is also working on intercepting Menchandu Company in the United States, but even he himself is not very confident. After all, that is the home base of Menchandu Company, but if it can disrupt Menchandu Company's industries in Argentina and Brazil

The layout can undoubtedly slow down the time for Mengchandu Company to set its sights on China and buy itself more time.

By then, even if there is still no ironclad evidence that genetically modified foods are harmful to human beings, at least in this industry, Chinese companies will be able to control part of the patent rights, thereby preventing Mengchandu Company from extending its hands into the domestic seed industry.
