Brazil is the fifth largest country in the world, with a territorial area of ​​more than 850 million square kilometers, and there are no deserts and saline-alkali lands in its territory. It can be said that it is very rich in land resources.

According to Brazil's own official statistics, the arable land area in Brazil is as high as more than 3 million hectares, more than three times that of China, and the undeveloped land area in Brazil is estimated to be more than 1 million hectares, which is equivalent to China has the total amount of arable land, but Brazil's population is less than [-] million people.Moreover, the climate here is suitable and the rainfall is abundant, which fully meets the sufficient conditions to become the "world granary" in the future.

Moreover, in Brazil, the government clearly stipulates that land is basically privately owned, landowners have the right to buy and sell land freely, and both foreigners and foreign companies can buy land in Brazil, and the state only intervenes in private land under special circumstances. or paid collection.Therefore, land approval only occurs when foreigners purchase Brazilian land and develop and utilize land that affects Brazil's environmental protection and ecology.Others, such as domestic land transactions and transfers, mostly rely on the market to operate and buy and sell freely.

Many Americans and Japanese bought a large amount of land in Brazil, built farms, and planted various crops.

Falcao and Green looked at each other, and Falcao asked: "Director, how much land do you plan to buy?" In Brazil, not all land is privately owned, and some land is owned by the government, and this part of land, If the transfer is less than [-] hectares, it can be negotiated between the government and the buyer, but if it exceeds [-] hectares.It must be submitted to Congress for approval.Therefore, if you want to buy more than [-] hectares of land, you might as well go directly to those farmers to buy it.

"As big as you can buy!" Fang Mingyuan waved his hands and said, "I heard that the big farms here can even reach hundreds of thousands of hectares?"

Falcao and Green couldn't help being startled, how much does this one plan to spend to buy the land?Hundreds of thousands of hectares of land would cost hundreds of millions of dollars.Even now Brazil's economic downturn.The price of land has dropped, which is also an astonishing amount.

"Yes, the largest farm can indeed reach hundreds of thousands of hectares." Green nodded, "But... buying it may cost hundreds of millions..."

Fang Mingyuan snapped his fingers, interrupted Green's words, and said, "Very well, Suarez, I will leave this matter to you. Help me see if there is any suitable large-scale farm that is ready to be sold. It is best to reach a few A scale of [-] hectares."

Fang Mingyuan's decision was certainly not a sudden whim, land, such a precious resource.If you want to own it permanently in China, you don't have to think about it, the country will definitely not allow it.And, as far as he knew.In a few years, countries like Brazil and Argentina will impose restrictions on the upper limit of foreigners buying land in their countries.Just like it is impossible to buy an island in Australia nowadays.Moreover, buying permanent land in Brazil costs less than 1000 yuan per mu on average!

Cheap prices are one aspect, and more importantly, the next ten years will be the best-selling decade for agricultural products in the international market. Although there are fluctuations in prices, this is true from the perspective of the overall trend.Therefore, buying land in Brazil and producing agricultural products, whether it is sold in Brazil or exported, is a good deal.It can be regarded as being overseas, leaving the Fang family with another piece of industry that can be passed down from generation to generation.

Of course, for Fang Mingyuan, it is not difficult to find an investment project with a higher profit margin than this, but in the long run, it will be very difficult to own a large area of ​​land in South America in the future.If Yu Dongfeng hadn't mentioned that the land in South America was cheap when he was in Hong Kong, he would have forgotten about it.Of course, before obtaining the control of CMM, the industry under the name of the Fang family had little influence in Brazil, which was also a key factor.This made him focus on European and American countries most of the time, but ignored these emerging countries.

Moreover, in the future, in the soybean war, he must also have enough resources in his hands to be qualified to challenge the opponent.

Green was startled for a moment, then bowed his head and said obediently: "As you wish."

Fang Mingyuan turned his gaze to Falcao again and said, "Just now you said that Brazil had an electricity crisis this year? Well, what's going on?" Although, from the materials prepared by Yu Dongfeng and Lin Rong, he already knew about it. , but he still wants to hear what the Brazilians think about the power crisis that has swept across Brazil.

Falcao smiled bitterly: "It's not this damn drought and stupid government!"

Nearly 90.00% of Brazil's electricity supply comes from hydropower. It is located in South America and has always had abundant rainfall. The many rivers in the territory provide Brazil with many suitable locations for building hydropower stations.This kind of green energy that does not produce pollution is naturally highly recognized by the public.However, this also makes Brazil's electricity supply largely dependent on the cooperation of the sky.This year, precipitation in most parts of Brazil is significantly less than the average precipitation in previous years, which has caused a serious shortage of surface runoff that provides energy for hydropower plants, and thus cannot provide sufficient electricity for Brazil.

The sudden shortage of power supply has brought great troubles to the Brazilians. Some of the exciting events in the stadium at night had to be cancelled, factories had to be partially shut down, and even residents’ daily electricity consumption was completely unguaranteed. , which caused the sales of candles to soar.The city's neon lights no longer flickered at night, and even the street lights on the road were half extinguished.The nightlife seems to have lost its former glory overnight.

The Brazilian government, caught off guard, has nothing to do in the face of this predicament. Unless there are a few large-scale rainfalls in a timely manner, otherwise, even if it has the money to build a thermal power plant, it will be too late.What's more, since the Southeast Asian financial crisis spread to Brazil, in order to reduce the government's fiscal deficit, the government has no plan to increase construction efforts in power supply.Moreover, the Brazilian government's strong regulation of the power industry also makes it difficult for domestic and foreign capital in Brazil to enter this field.The Brazilian government, which is unable to provide more electricity supply, can only start from "saving". Therefore, starting from June [-], the Brazilian government began to restrict electricity consumption through various measures.

"A group of incompetent idiots are still complacent about their economic management ability all day long!" Falcao criticized the government of his country mercilessly.From his words, it is not difficult to see that he hates the power crisis in Brazil.

Fang Mingyuan was not surprised by his reaction. The reason why cmm company's profit rate has dropped sharply this year is that the power crisis makes the company not have enough power for mining, which is a very important factor!However, the current chaos in Brazil is not a good thing for CMM, but it is a good thing for him to invest in Brazil.

Brazil had not fully recovered from the global economic crisis triggered by the Southeast Asian financial crisis, and was affected by the triple impact of the Nasdaq Composite Index plunge, the domestic power crisis, and the Argentine economic crisis. The heavy foreign debt forced the government to reduce the budget. The power crisis will undoubtedly make the country's economic development weak.More importantly, the power crisis will make foreign capital question Brazil's development prospects, which is likely to make Brazil's work of attracting foreign capital this year even worse!

At this time, any foreign investment is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow to the Brazilian government. This will undoubtedly win more and bigger preferential policies for the Fang family. Now you can do more with less.

Fang Mingyuan pondered for a while, then slightly raised his hand to signal, Falcao immediately stopped talking.Fang Mingyuan said: "Manager Falcao, I hope to meet with important officials in charge of economy and mining in your country as soon as possible. I wonder what level of officials you can contact?"

Falcao was taken aback, and said after a while: "I can help you contact the Deputy Minister of Mines and Energy, Alexander Pimenyar, he is the highest official I can contact."

Fang Mingyuan glanced at Falcao in surprise. This guy has good social skills. The deputy minister of the Ministry of Mining and Energy is also considered a senior official in the Brazilian government.

"Okay, then you can contact him, and I will give you two days. You can tell him that this will involve a transaction worth more than tens of billions of dollars. If he is not interested, I will find someone else It's gone." Fang Mingyuan said.Falcao and Green could not be more shocked. The total value of the deal worth tens of billions of dollars, not to mention the deputy minister of the Ministry of Mines and Energy, even the President of Brazil will be alarmed.

At this time, Lin Rong quickly came behind Fang Mingyuan, and said in a low voice, "Counselor of the Argentine Embassy, ​​Gutierrez Rodriguez has arrived." Lin Rong spoke English, and there was no way to avoid it. Alco and Green.

"He came quickly!" Fang Mingyuan raised his hand to look at the time, and said with a smile, "Falcao, Green, I'm here today. If there's anything else, I'll come back to you."

Falcao and Green stood up knowingly, shook hands with Fang Mingyuan one by one, followed Lin Rong to the door, and passed a middle-aged caucasian man in the corridor. (To be continued..)
