Chapter 295

After arranging the affairs in Australia, baozixuan and Wu Guangzheng took a special plane to Brazil. They are going to negotiate, to be exact, to give themselves a new preparation. Not being able to put eggs in one basket is something that all businessmen will do. Although there are BHP Billiton contracts and northern mining company, we still need to purchase from many sources. At present, the price of iron ore is cheap, and only baozixuan knows the future price, so he makes the layout in advance.

Vale is the world's largest producer and exporter of iron ore and the largest mining company in the American continent. It is known as Brazil's "jewel in the crown" and "engine in the Amazon region".

Vale of Brazil, hereinafter referred to as vale, has a trademark of vale. Vale was founded on June 1, 1942. Vale's iron ore production accounts for 80% of Brazil's total production.

Vale's mineral exploitation and development plan focuses on the world, including: mining coal, bauxite, copper, iron and diamonds in Venezuela; Mining of aluminum and copper in Peru; Mining of aluminum and copper in Chile; Mining of potassium, aluminum and copper in Argentina; Manganese mining in Gabon; Mining coal, aluminum and copper in Mozambique; Mining diamonds, aluminum, copper, potassium and iron in Angola; Mining aluminum, copper, nickel and platinum minerals in Brazil; Manganese, diamond, kaolin and bauxite; Mining aluminum, copper and coal in Mongolia; Mining coal, copper, aluminum and bauxite in China.

It can be said that it is impossible to bypass this company if you want to buy iron ore in Brazil or even the whole South America, but baozixuan is also worried about the political situation in Brazil. There is no way but to send all the security guards in the United States, and employ a large number of peripheral personnel locally. At the same time, the Brazilian government and vale also attach great importance to it. If a world-famous rich person encounters an accident during the negotiation in Brazil, who dares to invest and negotiate here in the future. After all, life cannot be guaranteed, so the blow to the whole of Brazil and vale is absolutely huge.

Before baozixuan arrived in Brazil, the security work had begun. However, he made a fuss this time. At present, Brazil is only a place where slums and underworld often haunt, which is more chaotic, and the public security in other places is good.

In Rio de Janeiro, baozixuan received a warm welcome, which was no less than the arrival of a head of state. After all, in Australia, this young rich man has spent so much money all over the world, which makes many economically underdeveloped countries look at the richest man like the God of wealth.

Australia has a good mineral and agricultural foundation. Brazil is also absolutely not bad in this regard. It has high-quality minerals and a large number of pastures and farms.

And Brazil also has more demographic dividends than Australia, which is also a huge market. When he came to vale headquarters, valene Dida, chairman of the company, personally received him. Dida, who is only 43 years old this year, is the golden age of a man.

Valene Dida said, "welcome Mr. Bao and Mr. Wu to Brazil and vale. The environment here is very beautiful. You can take a good stroll in your spare time. We will make the necessary arrangements. Please rest assured. "

Bao Zixuan: "thank you for your kindness, Mr. Dida. I think I will. I personally like playing football, but my skills are not good. Coming to the football Kingdom today is one of my childhood dreams. "

Baozixuan knew that valene Dida came from a football player. Later, he came to work in Vale because of his family. At this time, it's just looking for a common topic. It doesn't mean anything else.

Valene Dida: "it seems that we have a common hobby. If it's not for the family's opposition, I think I must be on the list of Brazil's World Cup, but it's also a pleasure to watch the younger generation gallop on the court."

Bao Zixuan: "as far as I know, it's not easy to get into the Brazilian national team. It should be more difficult than going to the best university in the world; It seems that Mr. Dida's skills should be good. "

Valene Dida: "it's all the old calendar, but this time you buy so many iron ore and minerals in Australia. Why do you want to come and cooperate with vale?"

Vale is very excited to receive the negotiation on minerals from baozixuan. After all, the overall mining industry is not booming. But after seeing so many things bought in Australia, I felt that I was playing with myself. Otherwise, how could he come to Brazil, but after receiving the news that baozixuan really wanted to come, he was a little uncertain. After all, a super rich didn't have any leisure to do things that had nothing to do with his interests. Now we can only take one step at a time. We'll see what we can do.

Bao Zixuan: "we Xiangjiang people never put eggs in one basket when doing business. All mining industries are purchased in Australia. Once there is any change there, I will suffer heavy losses. After all, I am unprepared; Similarly, we will not buy all of them in Brazil. Although this increases the operating cost, it can control the risk to a certain extent. "

When Bao Zixuan finished, the whole vale company knew what was going on. If you can't put eggs in one basket, does that mean you can't just engage in one industry? Just like the decline in iron ore sales this time, they are very passive.

Valene Dida: "as far as I know, the quantity Mr. Bao bought in Australia can meet the market demand. Why do you continue to buy in Brazil. Even if you can't put the eggs in one basket, you can't let the eggs fail! "

Bao Zixuan: "that's because I think the market will recover and will not be depressed forever. Moreover, developing countries such as China and Brazil need a lot of infrastructure. Steel is needed to build docks, roads and bridges, and houses. Do you think our life is inseparable from steel! Unless we all enter the primitive society and live with stone tools. I also have an operation terminal company, I can not let employees too idle.

"You should have understood our contract with BHP Billiton. I just want the same treatment. I like doing business for a long time, so that we can develop together and help each other in case of difficulties. "

Valene Dida: "you convinced me. On the way to the negotiation, I still want to know what kind of person you are. Vale also needs long-term partners. I think we have many similarities in the business philosophy of the enterprise, and we can develop together. "

The reason why the negotiations are so smooth is that a lot of preparations and foreshadowing have been made in the early stage, and BHP Billiton, northern mining and Vale are now in a difficult period. The oil crisis has brought about a large number of excess shipping, and the shipbuilding industry is a large consumer of steel. The automobile industry and infrastructure industry are not very good, which all determine the price of the steel market.

After reaching a consensus, baozixuan also wanted to give each other a gift. After all, people agreed to their conditions so readily and made certain concessions in other aspects.

Bao Zixuan said, "I have another thing to ask you for help. I don't know if it's convenient!"

Valene Dida smiled and said, "if you have any questions, please tell me directly. I can do it without delay."

Bao Zixuan: "heiyun is going to build a new factory in South America. After all, the labor cost in the United States and Europe is very high. Brazil's labor force is almost negligible in front of a car. The factories I built in Brazil this time are mainly exported to other countries in South America and Europe, such as Portugal, Spain and other countries. At the same time, we also hope that vale can supply us with enough steel for automobile production, and the cooperation should be all-round. "

Brazil and Portugal have many tariff reductions and exemptions, and they are not far away. Although vale mainly exports iron ore, it also has a large number of iron and steel enterprises in Brazil.

Valene Dida is very happy to hear this. Is this to help yourself! It's like giving yourself a favor and business. So he said without hesitation, "there are no problems. My cousin works in the Ministry of industry. I'll make an appointment with him and arrange for you to meet as soon as possible."

Bao Zixuan: "OK, as long as we reach an agreement, heiyun automobile can immediately arrange engineers to design the factory, or start production one day earlier. After all, if it is completed one day earlier, it will make money one day earlier."
