Brazil in early September is still in the colder season of the year. Although the maximum daily temperature during the day is still 29 degrees and the minimum temperature at night is 19 degrees, it is still considered winter in Brazil! Due to the large

Part of the country is in the tropics, so heavy snow is rare in Brazil. However, this is not absolute. Several states in southern Brazil, such as Paraná, have the possibility of being hit by strong cold air masses from Antarctica, and it will occasionally rain.

Snow.

Iguazu City in Paraná State is home to the world-famous Iguazu Falls and is also a world-famous tourist city.

Fang Mingyuan stood in front of the window and could see the majestic Iguazu Falls pouring from a distance. If he opened the window, he could hear the roaring sound of the waterfall coming from the distance.

"Paraná is the largest corn producer and the second largest sugar cane and soybean producer in my country. It is also an important coffee and raw silk producer." Joan Giboudo Fittipaldi stood beside Fang Mingyuan. He smiled and said, "This is also the area where our Fittipaldi family has focused on development in recent years." The Fittipaldi family is one of Brazil's wealthy families, but in the past they mainly focused on jewelry and jade in the economic field. Mining and reprocessing once accounted for 27% of the domestic jewelry market share, and was also the most important partner of Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and Gold in Brazil. However, compared with a few years ago, the Fittipaldi family today There have been huge changes. Not only in the field of jewelry and jade, their share in the Brazilian domestic market has exceeded 33%, becoming the leader in jewelry and jade trading in Brazil. They have also extended their tentacles into Corn, soybean cultivation, export, and chain retail fields, and the profits generated by these two fields for the Fittipaldi family every year have become the family's second and third largest sources of profits, and are still growing rapidly. The land is growing. This also makes the Fittipaldi family's position in Brazil more stable! And these changes are inseparable from the young man in front of them!

The growth rate of the Fittipaldi family's strength has made many people, including members of the Fittipaldi family, dumbfounded and surprised. However, compared with the Fang family's economic development speed, it is

Far inferior! The cooperation between Pingchuan Petroleum Group Company and Petrobras, the cooperation between Liao Iron and Steel Group Company and Vale Brazil, as well as the existence of cmm company and ffbb company, have already made the Fang family in the Brazilian economy

It occupies an important position in Brazil's import and export trade and transportation, and this does not include the position of Kuok Shipping Group Company in Brazil's import and export trade and transportation, and the astonishing share of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company in the Brazilian film market...

Therefore, this time Fang Mingyuan came to Brazil, Qiao An put down many matters in his hands and accompanied him personally. On the one hand, the Fittipaldi family needed to further stabilize and expand the cooperative relationship with the Fang family, and on the other hand, it was also to prevent more

Competitors joined in. Although among the Brazilian families that cooperated with the Fang family, in terms of national influence, the Bairinhas and Jerónimo families were far inferior to the Fittipaldi family, but

The strong growth of the Fang family has attracted more attention from top Brazilian families. Especially now!

The Beijing Olympic Games, which has attracted worldwide attention, has successfully concluded at the end of August. China has topped the medal list for the first time since participating in the Summer Olympics, fulfilling the championship dream of hundreds of millions of Chinese people, and as an important part of the next Olympic Games.

Brazil, the bidder to host the Olympic Games, won four gold medals and ten total medals, ranking 18th. Among them, the Brazilian Olympic team beat the Argentine Olympic team to become the men's football champion, which is even more impressive.

Brazilians are overjoyed. However, the success of the Beijing Olympics cannot cover up the difficulties faced by the Brazilian economy!

As the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis continues to expand, it is not only the financial industry in developed countries that has been hit, but it is also gradually expanding to other countries and entities. Brazil, as the largest economy in South America, has also begun to be affected.

Obvious impact.

The growth of foreign exchange reserves has slowed down, the number of foreign investments has declined, and the price and volume of export commodities have been significantly affected. In particular, the uncertainty of foreign capital withdrawing from Brazil has increased significantly. Brazil's huge foreign debt has become an inability for the government to finance internationally.

A huge threshold has been passed! Although, after the current president of Brazil came to power and formed the cabinet, he has taken a series of measures to reduce Brazil’s huge foreign debt, and with the strong growth of the Brazilian economy in recent years, Brazil’s foreign exchange reserves have increased significantly.

growth, and Brazilian sovereign bonds have received BB ratings from many international credit rating agencies. The government's borrowing costs and debt maturities have significantly improved. However, in the first half of 2008, Brazil's 5 to 10

?Year sovereign credit default swaps are still rising rapidly, which is obviously a very bad signal.

Moreover, starting in July, the exchange rate of the Brazilian real against the US dollar suddenly turned downward and entered a depreciation channel after nearly five years of appreciation! In less than two months, the Brazilian real

From the highest point of 1.56 reals to one dollar, it has dropped to 1.98 reals to one dollar now. The depreciation is so large and so fast that Brazilians are stunned! And so far, it has not been seen that

There are signs that the decline has turned into an increase! This has caused a severe setback to the development of the Brazilian economy, and all economic indicators are trembling. However, the Fittipaldi family has not been significantly affected by this, because in the fifth

In March, Fang Mingyuan had already reminded them that the Brazilian economy was likely to be severely affected by the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis, and the currency exchange rates of the two countries would naturally be affected and undergo adverse changes, so be prepared.

They took immediate action after the real depreciated to avoid greater losses! This also makes the Fittipaldi family pay more and more attention to Mingyuan.

Although Brazil's GDP still maintains a growth rate of about 5% in the first three quarters, it is likely to stagnate or even decline. From the current point of view, China's economy is still maintaining

strong growth momentum.

Although the earthquake on May 28 severely affected many provinces in central and western China, it is said that the shock waves of that eight-magnitude earthquake affected more than half of China and many Asian countries and regions.

The earthquake was felt, and the severely damaged area exceeded 100,000 square kilometers! However, because the Chinese government issued an earthquake warning in advance and evacuated citizens from the epicenter and dangerous areas in advance, as of early September, the number of deaths caused by this earthquake was only

There were 514 people, 5,681 injured, and 91 missing, creating a miracle in the history of earthquakes. Afterwards, many international earthquake research institutions concluded that after detailed research on the earthquake data

, if the Chinese government had not issued a timely earthquake warning and decisively evacuated citizens from the relevant areas, this major earthquake that occurred in a densely populated area is likely to have killed 70,000 to 100,000 people, with 40,000 to 500,000 people dead.

People were injured, and the number of missing people may reach more than 20,000!

Although this earthquake caused hundreds of thousands of houses to be damaged or even collapsed, and the Chinese people suffered heavy property losses, such a small casualty rate is comparable to the earthquakes in Turkey and even the Kobe earthquake in earlier years.

In comparison, the world was shocked. Moreover, because the government had prepared well in advance, the earthquake did not have any obvious impact on the local social order. The rescue and relief work afterwards was even more orderly, which made people all over the world marvel.

They were filled with admiration. And because the government had prepared well in advance, transportation and enterprise production in the earthquake area were not seriously affected, and they quickly returned to normal within a few days after the earthquake.

The Beijing Olympics in August had a strong stimulating effect on China's economy. So far, China's economic growth remains the fastest in the world. China has also replaced the United States and become the largest importer of Brazilian products.

"Mr. Fittipaldi, the demand for soybeans in our country's economic development is still quite strong, so you don't have to worry about the soybeans produced not being marketable. However, you should never forget that I only want non-GMO soybeans, and I only want GMO soybeans.

, I don’t want any of them!” Fang Mingyuan tilted his head and said solemnly, “As far as I know, the Parana state government intends to make this a free production zone for genetically modified products, and hundreds of companies here have signed contracts with the state government.

A letter of intent to grow genetically modified products?" Paraná has a soybean planting area of ​​more than four million hectares and a production of more than 15 million tons. It is an important soybean producing area in Brazil. Its "turn" will undoubtedly have an impact on

Brazil’s domestic soybean farming industry has had an important impact!

"You are very well informed. The Paraná state government does have this intention, and it is true that more than 500 companies have signed letters of intent with the state government to grow genetically modified products. However, we have pushed the Ministry of Agriculture to come forward and ban Paraná state.

This approach!" Joan said calmly, "Our family is currently contacting other families in Paraná to work together to change the current situation in Paraná!"

Fang Mingyuan nodded and said: "Mr. Fittipaldi, our previous cooperation was very pleasant, and I hope that we can continue to cooperate happily in the future. Whether genetically modified products are harmful to human health, so far, there is still no international consensus

There is no unified view. There are still many scientific researchers and many research institutions who believe that genetically modified products have negative effects on human health. As a Chinese, I will never allow genetically modified soybeans and genetically modified corn to flow from my hands to our country.

Market! At this point, there is no room for discussion."

"We are all in awe of how much you attach great importance to the health of our people!" Qiao An complimented. He also knew that the edible oil production company under the Fang family has always insisted on using non-GMO crops to produce edible oil, and the Fang family

Its subsidiary Carrefour Group has always sold foods produced from genetically modified crops, including various edible oils, over the counter, with extremely obvious signs. It is said that Carrefour Group once wanted to ban foods produced from genetically modified crops.

It was put on the shelves, but it had to be abandoned because China's policy did not prohibit the production of this type of food. Non-GMO soybeans do not produce as much oil as GMO soybeans and are much more expensive. Obviously, it is cheaper to use GMO soybeans to produce edible oil.

"Our country has a population of more than 1.3 billion, and the population will continue to grow in the next twenty years. With the development of the economy, our citizens need to have a better quality of life, and the demand for soybeans and corn

It will still continue to grow. Brazil is an important importer of food crops to our country. Your country's soybean and corn exports are of great significance to the economic development of both countries. I don't want to see some people destroy it just for the sake of small profits.

It is an important import and export trade commodity between our two countries. If the quality of your country's soybeans, corn and other crops cannot be guaranteed, I can only turn to other countries or regions that can meet my requirements. Fitipal

Mr. Di, your family must keep this in mind!" Fang Mingyuan said.

Qiao An chuckled and said: "Don't worry, Chairman Fang, if there are any mistakes, I, the Fittipaldi family, will be the first to not let them go! Our family also hopes to continue to cooperate with Chairman Fang for a long time.

As for Paraná, just watch it."

Fang Mingyuan returned to the room and sat down, pondered for a moment and said: "Mr. Fittipaldi, I personally think that there is still a lot of room for development in your country's cinema chain industry. If you are interested, you might as well start in this area."

With development, of course, it is impossible to make huge profits in a short period of time, but there is still no problem in earning some pocket money. As for... your family wants to act as an agent for the sales of Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Group's vehicles in Brazil.

There is no problem with this, but Qinchuan Samsung Motors Group has no plans to set up a factory in Brazil for the time being."

Qiao An felt happy, but then a little disappointed. It was certainly a good thing to expand cooperation with the Fang family, but what they actually wanted most was to establish a joint venture with Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Group Co., Ltd. to build a factory in Brazil to produce cars. The automobile industry in Brazil is

An important pillar sector of the economy, it contributes almost one-fifth of Brazil's industrial output value, and the automobile industry has also led to the revitalization of upstream industries such as steel and automobile parts. However, although the Brazilian automobile industry has been developing for a long time, as early as

In the 1950s, there was the ability to produce complete vehicles, but the speed of development was unsatisfactory. Until now, Brazil's domestic vehicle production has only exceeded three million units, while Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Group's annual vehicle output has been

Already exceeded 2 million units!
