"It's a pity that Lin Feng has returned to his hometown. Otherwise, it would be most appropriate to leave this matter to him!"

Chu Huan sat on the sofa and thought silently. In Chu Huan's opinion, Lin Feng was the best candidate for the security company. But unfortunately, Lin Feng and Qin Peng were currently focused on completing the protection of the oil.

After that, they all worked in the investment company in their hometown.

Ma Jizu suddenly said to Chu Huan: "Chairman, I do have a candidate, but this candidate is currently in his hometown, and I heard that Brother Feng has already contacted this person!"

Chu Huan asked with interest: "Who is it?"

Ma Jizu said with a smile: "Actually, he was the apprentice of Brother Feng and us. He joined the army the year we retired. He was only 18 years old at the time, but he was fierce and eager to learn. He dared to join the army as soon as he joined the army.

I fought with veterans, and then we learned the skills from Brother Feng for half a year.

When I corresponded with Brother Feng before, I heard that during last year's war, he violated discipline and killed several prisoners, and was then forcibly discharged from the army, but his mind was still on the battlefield."

"Breaking discipline?" Chu Huan raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't like people who broke the rules. Although there are many movies and TV dramas that show a rebellious young man who is good at breaking the rules, and such a young man has experienced various setbacks.

After that, he will definitely grow into a qualified or even outstanding backbone.

However, Chu Huan dislikes such people very much.

This is not the army in the movies and TV series, nor is it the Notre Dame Company. What Chu Huan needs is someone who is obedient and can perfectly perform the tasks assigned by him. He does not have time to watch a person grow.

Seeing Chu Huan's expression, Ma Jizu immediately understood what Chu Huan meant and hurriedly said: "Chairman, Qin Wei is not the kind of person who doesn't understand the rules. He killed his leader because the other party pretended to surrender. Qin Wei

Wei was so angry that he killed them!"

Qin Wei was the person Ma Jizu introduced to Chu Huan.

"Brother Feng once said that Qin Wei was born for the battlefield. If he can be placed in Africa, I think he will be able to thrive like a fish in water!"

Chu Huan thought for a moment and said: "Tell Lin Feng and let him arrange Qin Wei's trip to Xiangjiang, and you don't need to worry about the rest!"

Since Ma Jizu was so optimistic about Qin Wei, Chu Huan decided to give him a chance. After he arrived in Xiangjiang, Wu Xiaohui would naturally screen him. If he was qualified, he would be arranged to go to Africa!

Seeing that Chu Huan agreed to his proposal, Ma Jizu immediately smiled and said: "Understood!"

.

That night, Chu Huan met the current president of Brazil, João Figueiredo, and had dinner with him and had a pleasant conversation.

The next morning, Chu Huan met Ma Shoudao, the most successful Chinese farmer in Brazil, at the Copacaba Palace Hotel!

Ma Shoudao doesn't dress like a farmer at all, wearing suits and leather shoes, but more like a successful businessman. Of course, Ma Shoudao is actually a businessman himself.

Ma Shoudao didn't know Chu Huan very well. After all, Ma Shoudao came to Brazil after coming out of China. Brazil and Xiangjiang are thousands of miles apart, so it is impossible for him to pay attention to a businessman from Xiangjiang.

So when Chu Huan invited Ma Shoudao for the first time, Ma Shoudao was still a little confused, but he did not refuse Chu Huan's invitation. No matter what, the Chinese were still very nostalgic, and Ma Shoudao also wanted to see his fellow countryman.

, what exactly do you do? At the same time, I also want to know some of the conditions in my hometown from the mouths of fellow villagers.

But before meeting Chu Huan, Ma Shoudao still asked a business senior who came to Brazil earlier than him.

He knew that this senior's family had great influence in his hometown, and he might know what this Chu Huan was like.

Then, the two came to the Copacaba Palace Hotel together. Chu Huan had seen Ma Shoudao's photo before, so he recognized Ma Shoudao first. As for the man next to Ma Shoudao, he looked older than Ma Shoudao.

When Shoudao was an older man, he had some doubts.

After Ma Shoudao said hello to Chu Huan, when the old man greeted Chu Huan, Chu Huan also knew the other party's identity.

"Hello, Director Chu. I, Rong Hongyuan, am honored to meet Director Chu today!"

Chu Huan finally knew who the other party was. The eldest son of the first generation of the Rong family, the eldest son of Mr. Rong's uncle, and Mr. Rong's cousin!

When I was in Shenghai, I was one of the seven important figures in the tiger hunting period of the eldest son of Taiwan, but that tiger hunting was destined to be a useless effort.

But this man was completely disappointed with the environment in his hometown, so at the end of 1948, he ended his business in Shenghai, first transferred his property to Xiangjiang, and then transferred from Xiangjiang to Brazil.

Engage in textile and flour business.

Nowadays, the flour business has become Rong Hongyuan's important asset in Brazil. However, after experiencing the Shenghai incident, Rong Hongyuan has become very low-key, and he is also a low-key wealthy person in Brazil.

As the environment in his hometown has changed, Mr. Rong has also connected with all the Rong family's overseas relationships, which naturally includes Rong Hongyuan.

When Ma Shoudao asked him about Chu Huan's situation, Rong Hongyuan specifically called Mr. Rong, who was in North America at the time, and then learned about Chu Huan's influence in his hometown and in Xiangjiang. The most important thing is that he

Chu Huan’s global influence.

So this time, Rong Hongyuan also came to see Chu Huan with Ma Shoudao!

"Rong Weng is so polite. When you were in the Shenghai business world, you were an old man!"

Facing such a figure in the world of living fossils, Chu Huan still behaved very humbly!

Rong Hongyuan laughed and said: "Dr. Chu is so humble. I called my cousin before coming here. Now, not only in the Chinese circle, but also in the global business world, Director Chu is also a number one. It's really impressive."

admire!"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Rong Hongyuan was not polite when he said this. Businessmen who came out of the old era, even if they reached the level of the Rong family, were actually not the same in that period.

There are quite a few constraints, especially when facing foreign investment, and it is a natural dwarf.

As a result, in just a few decades, Chu Huan has grown into a globally recognized businessman, and his business empire has spread all over the world. Such a scale was something Rong Hongyuan could not even imagine in the past!

Chu Huan smiled and said: "It's just a good time!"

The three of them sat down and after some pleasantries, Chu Huan explained the reason for inviting Ma Shoudao.

Ma Shoudao and Rong Hongyuan were surprised when they heard that Chu Huan actually wanted to engage in agriculture in Brazil, and it was not just a farming industry.

They have been in Brazil all year round, so they naturally know the situation in Brazil.

Ma Shoudao asked Chu Huan curiously: "I wonder how much Director Chu is prepared to invest?"

Chu Huan said calmly: "The initial plan is to invest 1 billion US dollars first. It depends on the subsequent situation. If we need to continue to increase investment in the future, we have no upper limit!"

This time, it was Ma Shoudao and Rong Hongyuan's turn to be shocked. Although they knew more or less about Chu Huan's business situation before coming to see Chu Huan, they still did not expect that Chu Huan would actually go to Brazil.

One billion US dollars is invested in agriculture, which is an astronomical figure.

Ma Shoudao's net worth at this time was only at the level of tens of millions of dollars. Although Rong Hongyuan's wealth was greater, it did not reach the level of one billion dollars.

Now Chu Huan's one-time investment is actually more than the combined assets of the two of them.

"It is true that a hero comes from a young age. Director Chu's work is admirable!" Rong Hongyuan couldn't help but say.

Chu Huan smiled reservedly, then looked at Ma Shoudao, who looked a little unnatural, and asked, "Ma Weng, is there something wrong with this investment?"

After Ma Shoudao pondered for a while, he said: "For such a large-scale investment by Director Chu, I think he must have done some research on Brazil's agriculture before, right?"

Chu Huan nodded and said: "There is indeed some investigation, but after all, we have just arrived in this place and don't know much about the situation here, so we invited Ma Weng here this time because we also want to hear what the old senior said.

"

Ma Shoudao waved his hand and said modestly: "Old seniors don't dare to take this position, but since Director Chu asked, let me tell you about the current situation of Brazilian agriculture. I hope I can provide you with some help, Director Chu!"

"Thank you Ma Weng!" Chu Huan said modestly.

Ma Shoudao said: "If Director Chu wants to make a difference in Brazilian agriculture, then it will definitely involve the planting industry. The entire planting industry in Brazil can basically be divided into three types. The first one is those with European and American assets.

The large farms in the background are basically in the hands of European and American capital, including the four major grain merchants. The four major grain merchants not only purchased large farms in Brazil, but also supported many large farmers.

.

Secondly, there are the local farmers in Brazil. This type of people can be divided into two types. The first is the largest farmers in Brazil, and the second is the small farmers. Although these people have the weakest personal strength,

, but it is undeniable that these people also hold the largest planting area. In addition, these people are basically responsible for the four major grain merchants.

Finally, there are those of us outsiders. We can be said to be from all over the world, but it is precisely because of this that we are not united, so we are often targeted.

When cooperating with the four major grain merchants, it is also the most disadvantaged!"

After hearing this, Chu Huan asked with a smile: "What Ma Weng actually means is that although the four major grain merchants do not have the largest planting area in Brazil, they control the mid- to downstream industrial chain of Brazilian agriculture?"

Ma Shoudao nodded and said: "Yes, most of Brazil's planting industry is concentrated on soybeans. At the same time, the three largest soybean producers in the world are basically North America, Brazil, and Argentina, but at the same time, the consumer countries of soybeans are Eurasia.

, this gives the four major grain merchants that even if they cannot control large areas of planting land in Brazil, they can still control the agricultural situation.

Among them, their biggest magic weapon is that they control other links of the entire industry chain..."

Ten minutes later, Ma Shoudao finished what he meant, and Chu Huan also understood the key. Simply put, the four major grain merchants are similar to a middleman. They transport the soybeans purchased in the Americas to the Eurasian continent for sale.

Drop and earn the difference!

This description may seem simple, but in fact there is a complete industrial chain that cannot be touched by outsiders!

Because the entire industrial chain includes five major links: agricultural supplies, acquisition, warehousing, logistics, and processing.

These five major links actually include countless small links.

Take the aspect of agricultural supplies as an example, which includes four small links: seeds, pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and agricultural machinery.

Before this, Lin Yi only suggested a small aspect of agricultural machinery to Chu Huan, but now through Ma Shoudao's detailed description, Chu Huan understood more of the problems.

However, we can also see from this that the four major grain merchants are powerful. They have penetrated into every link and can make considerable profits in every link. At the same time, by controlling every link, they have formed a

Monopoly over the entire industry chain.

But at the same time, Chu Huan also found a point that he could take advantage of. First of all, it was just entering the 1980s. Even as Ma Shoudao said, the four major grain merchants had already begun to penetrate into Brazilian agriculture.

In fact, they have not yet formed a monopoly position for future generations, and Chu Huan has also found advantages for himself in these links.

First of all, in the aspect of agricultural supplies, even if Chu Huan now has a huge amount of cash, it is impossible to challenge the four major grain merchants in a short period of time. Seeds, pesticides, fertilizers, and agricultural machinery are all needed

Investments that can only be started after the initial investment in research and development.
