Resource Tycoon Reborn

The Fittipaldi family has long been tempted to enter the automobile industry, but this industry is easy to enter and difficult to enter! It is easy to enter because the Brazilian automobile market is open to the outside world.

, so many world-renowned automobile companies have set up factories in Brazil to produce cars, and they also have models specially built for the Brazilian market. ↖It’s hard to say that it’s difficult to enter, because the foundation of Brazil’s domestic automobile industry is unsatisfactory, and there is no overseas automobile company to bring it.

It is not an easy task for a novice like the Fittipaldi family to occupy a place in such a chaotic automobile market! After all, the investment is huge, often amounting to billions of dollars. Once it fails, it will not be easy for Fittipaldi family.

The Fittipaldi family is also struggling. As for the world-renowned automobile companies, either the Fittipaldi family does not trust the other party, or the other party looks down on the Fittipaldi family, so all the time, the Fittipaldi family

The Dipardi family could only think about it. However, the cooperation with the Fang family was getting smoother and smoother, and the benefits were quite substantial. After they learned that the Fang family also owned Huaxia Automobile, an automobile manufacturer with the highest annual output.

, and also opened a branch factory in Russia, the Fittipaldi family couldn't help but be excited.

"Mr. Fittipaldi, the current main market of Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Group is still in China. Its car exports are currently only in Russia and Southeast Asia, and the sales volume is not very large. Although the Brazilian car market is good, to be honest, it is too far away from China.

It's far away, and we are not sure about the situation in Brazil. You must also know that Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Group is a joint venture between us and the Samsung Li family, and I must also consider the opinions of the Li family." Fang Ming

Yuan Dao. To be honest, he is not optimistic about the domestic investment environment in Brazil. Apart from buying land, oil and iron ore, there is no other way. Like automobile companies, he still doesn't want to step into the quagmire of Brazil.

Although Brazil's economic development has been very good in recent years, it is largely due to the huge volume of commodity trade. However, Brazil's domestic social order, bureaucracy, and chaotic tax system are all obstacles to the entry of foreign investment.

Especially for Chinese companies, it is not easy for Chinese companies to take root here. Although Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Group Co., Ltd. has developed smoothly in recent years, there is no need to come to Brazil as a pioneer.

"You have to eat one bite at a time, otherwise you will choke; you have to walk step by step, otherwise you will get stuck! Why should your family be in a hurry?" Fang Mingyuan poured a cup of tea for Qiao An, and said meaningfully, "Our cooperation

This has just begun, and there is still a long way to go..."

Qiao An felt a tremble in her heart, picked up her tea cup and said with a smile: "What Chairman Fang said is true, I'm a little impatient." Although Fang Mingyuan did not agree to let Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Group set up a factory in Brazil, he did agree to Qinchuan Samsung

The car sales agency rights of the Automobile Group Company are handed over to the Fittipaldi family. Although the sales agents in Bahia will definitely give a share of the pie to the Bairinhas family and the Jeronimo family, the bulk of it is

It fell into the hands of the Fittipaldi family. Although Qinchuan Samsung Motors Group Co., Ltd. is only an emerging automobile company, at the premiere of "Tangshan Earthquake", the interactive banter between the stars and Fan Mingyuan has made movie fans around the world

We all know the name Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Group Company, and also know that it is also a company under Fang Mingyuan's name. In the past few months, the number of exported cars of Qinchuan Samsung Automobile Group Company has increased significantly, compared with the same period last year.

, an increase of more than 500%! As of the end of July, it is said that the total export volume has exceeded 60,000 vehicles! And it is still growing. In Brazil, there are also a large number of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and "Fang Fang"

"Loyal fans of the movie, the Fittipaldi family believes that Qinchuan Samsung Motors Group will have great potential in the Brazilian automobile market in the future!

Qiao An didn't know that Fang Mingyuan actually wanted to build a steel plant in Brazil, but that was just a thought. Although Brazil's rich iron ore and smooth exports are its advantages, Brazil's market environment, partners

But the bureaucracy and bureaucracy are prohibitive. It can be said that there are too many uncertain factors in building a factory in Brazil, involving many problems in all aspects and there are great risks. European giants ThyssenKrupp Group and Vale spent eight

The joint venture steel plant built with more than one billion US dollars was once known as Brazil's largest private investment project in the past ten years. It can create more than 20,000 direct employment opportunities for Rio de Janeiro. The two major companies plan to use Brazil's rich ore resources to produce high-quality steel on site.

High-quality, low-cost slabs are then supplied to ThyssenKrupp Group's steel plants in the United States and Europe to further produce high-end steel products. However, it can only be said that the ideal is full, and the reality is very skinny. This plant was originally expected to be completed this year.

The current project progress of the steel plant is only about 60%, and the construction cost has far exceeded expectations. With such lessons learned, Fang Mingyuan will naturally not take big risks to enter the Brazilian market.

"I won't disturb Chairman Fang's rest. In the afternoon, I will come over and accompany you to the Iguazu Falls." Qiao An saw Fang Mingyuan yawning, stood up on his own initiative, and said with a smile.

"Then I'll bother you Mr. Fittipaldi." Fang Mingyuan stood up and said. He flew from Australia to Brazil. Although he had a business jet, he felt tired from the journey and really needed a good rest.

After seeing Qiao An off and before he could sit back on the sofa, Lin Rong reminded him that he had Bill's phone number.

"Bill, what's going on?" Fang Mingyuan was sitting in front of the window, looking out at the scenery outside the window and smiling. From here, you can directly see the Iguazu Falls in the distance. The scenery is really beautiful.

"Fang, you are so leisurely. With the Earthquakes Without Borders Foundation now busy, I wish you had 48 hours a day, but you went to Iguazú to see the waterfall." Bill complained, "Why did I lose my mind in the first place?

, agreed to help you take charge of the Earthquakes Without Borders Foundation?" Although it has been three months since the earthquake in China, the Earthquakes Without Borders Foundation is still providing continuous assistance to the victims in China. On the day of the earthquake, Earthquakes Without Borders

The foundation announced that it would donate US$100 million to resettle victims, and later added US$150 million worth of professional rescue and disaster relief materials and equipment. Although almost half of this money was actually donated by Fang Mingyuan,

But this amount also shocked the world. You must know that donations from many countries are only one million U.S. dollars, and the donation from the second-place Saudi government is only 60 million U.S. dollars! Earthquakes Without Borders Foundation was originally famous for its high-profile establishment

Wen Global, because of this donation, it became even more famous. Countless scholars and institutions came to apply for scientific research funds at once. And the 250 million U.S. dollars of funds were not directly transferred to China's account.

, the Earthquakes Without Borders Foundation had to send people to oversee the entire follow-up work. These messy tasks really kept Bill busy.

"I have serious things to do when I come to Iguazu City, and I'm not just here for fun. If you feel tired, you might as well put down what you are doing and bring your wife to rest for two days. I'll treat you." Fang Mingyuan smiled.

Hehe said, "Aren't you retired now? When I retire, I will take over the work of the Earthquakes Without Borders Foundation, so that's okay."

"Scoff!" Bill's disdainful voice came over the phone, "When you retire, I will be at least eighty! Or do you plan to retire within forty? Don't think of tying me to Earthquakes Without Borders.

Meeting!"

"Okay, okay, you can work for a few years first, and then everyone can find a suitable candidate, right?" Fang Mingyuan chuckled.

"Then it's settled. I remember this. If no one steps up to the plate then, I'm going to let it go." Bill said seriously, "One more thing... Do you also have shares in Google?"

Fang Mingyuan was stunned for a moment before replying: "Well, I have shares."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, and then Bill's voice came, "Well, I guess that's it. By the way, from the gamestation company, you can help me hurry up so that I don't miss the deadline." Fang Mingyuan put down the phone and

After touching his nose, Bill hesitated to speak, which made him feel a little strange. However, it was impossible for him to give up his shares in Google because of this.

Although Microsoft has maintained a strong ability to attract money in recent years, as the global laptop and PC markets are close to saturation, Microsoft's development momentum has shown some decline. I think Bill has also seen this.

, Otherwise, Microsoft will not blatantly enter the field of home game consoles. In fact, Microsoft's goal is not to become the leading company in home game consoles, but to make the future x-wave x series products occupy the living room and become the smart center of the home.

However, in the past few years, although the XWave X series products have carved out a niche in the home game console market, they cannot guarantee profitability.

The X-Wave

Nintendo and Sega Co., Ltd., which released consoles later, have successively caught up. In particular, the two companies have successively launched their own motion-sensing game controllers, which have won great favor from the market and have greatly boosted the sales of their game consoles.

Juechen has left XWave x360 behind, and behind Microsoft, Sony is catching up closely. At the same time, the production cost of XWave

, causing Microsoft's management a headache.

Although Deguang Electronics Group later opened up the sales of motion-sensing game controllers to Microsoft and Sony and customized motion-sensing game controllers for them, this only made the gap between them and the first two not continue.

It is still difficult to quickly pull away and catch up with the first two.

Fang Mingyuan picked up the phone. He had had an idea for a long time, and maybe now was the time to express it.

"Huh? Fang? What else can you do?" Bill's surprised voice came from the phone.

"Bill, I have an idea, an idea that has existed for a long time, and I would like to hear your opinion." Fang Mingyuan said solemnly.

"Ah? Okay, you say it." Bill's voice on the other end of the phone immediately became solemn and serious.

"Can Microsoft and Sega Corporation merge their respective home game console departments and form a joint venture to jointly produce and develop home game consoles? Of course, I guarantee that your dream will be taken into account." Fang Mingyuan asked, "And,

If you are willing, Microsoft's game department can also be merged into Gamestation Company, making Microsoft a shareholder of Gamestation Company."

Bill was silent for a long time and said: "Fang, why do you think so?"

"Because I think it hurts if we continue to fight like this. The x-wave x360 is still losing money, right? Although Sega Corporation said that the situation is better, the profit margin of the single machine is also declining. The result is that we each share it.

R&D costs are high. In order to seize the market, we have to continue to invest huge amounts of R&D capital to develop the next generation of home consoles. If this continues, Microsoft will have deep pockets, but Sega Corporation will one day be dragged to death, at the expense of Nintendo and Sony.

"Fang Mingyuan said.

Bill's chuckle came from the phone, and then his voice came: "Fang, as long as you want to maintain the status of Sega Corporation, how can it lack funds? In the end, we may have to withdraw sadly.

This market.”

"But no matter who quits, I will lose a lot of money." Fang Mingyuan said in a helpless tone, "Then why can't we join forces and kick Sony and Nintendo out? And you can also focus on

Development of operating systems for electronic products.”

The other end of the phone was silent for a long time, and Bill suddenly laughed and said: "When I asked you to come to Microsoft to be the chairman of the board, you refused to come. Over the years, you have only been a short-term director, and you have been silent about the company's operations.

All the shares have been entrusted to me for the exercise of voting rights. Do you have a headache and it is difficult to make a decision? You will soon become the largest shareholder of Microsoft." Fang Mingyuan originally owned 14% of Microsoft's shares.

, is the third largest shareholder after Bill Gates and Paul Allen. Over the years, although everyone has been reducing their holdings of Microsoft shares, Fang Mingyuan has reduced his holdings slower than them. Now he and Bill

Both hold almost 10% of the shares, Bill slightly more than him. The difference is that Bill holds it publicly by himself, while Fang Mingyuan holds most of the shares through various companies, except for a few core companies.

No one knows that the shares he holds in Microsoft are now the second largest shareholder.
