Chapter 727

"Argentina is also the target of my investigation to buy a farm in South America this time, but I personally prefer Brazil." Fang Mingyuan said, "Microsoft Chairman Bill knows the officials in Argentina, so I asked him to help me contact them. .”

Minister Pimenyar shook hands with Fang Mingyuan and said, "Brazil welcomes investors like Mr. Fang to invest in real estate, and I believe that in the future, you will find that when it comes to all aspects of society and In terms of investment environment, Brazil is thousands of times better than Argentina! My personal advice to Mr. Fang is that you should never invest in Argentina.”

Minister Pimenyar left, and Fang Mingyuan and Falcao returned to the living room.

"Falcao, Minister Pimenyar doesn't seem to like Argentina very much?" Fang Mingyuan asked, "Is it because of football?" Brazil and Argentina, as the world's two most famous football powers, are both in South America The region, after so many years, naturally has countless grievances and grievances.

Falcao shook his head and said: "Director, Minister Pimenyar is not a fan of football. He is not interested in Argentina because of football."

"Why?" Fang Mingyuan asked strangely. If it was just for the investment competition between the two countries, it was necessary for Minister Pimenyar to speak so badly of Argentina?Argentina is indeed caught in a debt crisis and the society is in turmoil, but to be honest, Brazil also has a lot of debt.Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico, the three major countries in South America, are also the countries most likely to experience a debt crisis in the world.

"This... this is a long story!" Falcao said.

It turns out that both Brazil and Argentina were originally European colonies. One suzerain was Portugal and the other was Spain. The relationship between these two European countries was not so harmonious.Later Brazil and Argentina gained independence.After independence, the two major countries competed for leadership in South America and competed for spheres of influence, although they did not go to the point of formally using large-scale force to go to war.There have also been many conflicts.Even during World War II, the militaries of the two countries still regarded each other as their potential worst enemy.Later, in the early 80s, relations between the two countries began to ease.

"Minister Pimenyar should be because of the past relationship between Brazil and Argentina on the one hand, and look down on the Argentines on the other hand." Falcao said.

"Look down on Argentines? Why?" Fang Mingyuan became even more curious.

"Director, you are not from South America. I don't know. In the 40s, our country's GDP was only 80.00% of Argentina's. Now our country's GDP is six times or nearly seven times that of Argentina. "Falcao said proudly, "Although we are an oil importing country. Argentina can be self-sufficient in oil, but we are at the forefront of the world in the development of bio-liquid fuels!"

Fang Mingyuan understood at once that Minister Pimenyar and Falcao's mentality is just like many Koreans, Singaporeans, and Japanese look down on China. Compared with China in history, today's China has fallen far behind these small countries that could only follow behind him.A country with a population of only 5000 million, a land of [-] square kilometers, and a lack of various resources has a gross national product.However, it is several times or more than ten times that of the developed areas of coastal provinces with a comparable area in China!Economic status determines their mentality.

Falcao hesitated for a moment, then continued: "Director, I think that what Minister Pimenyar said is correct. The land in Argentina is not worth your investment. Moreover, whether it is social security or the country's The speed of economic development. The cleanliness of government officials is not as good as ours in Brazil. You will know if you inquire carefully.”

Fang Mingyuan pulled a chair over and sat in front of the window.Looking at the sea not far away from the window, Falcao has already left, but Lin Rong and the others have not returned yet.Fang Mingyuan was the only one in Nuo Da's presidential suite.

There is actually such an inside story about the relationship between Brazil and Argentina, which Fang Mingyuan did not notice from the information.

In fact, there is no need for Minister Pimenyar and Falcao's reminders. Fang Mingyuan also knows that compared with Brazil, there is indeed a big gap between Argentina and Brazil, especially when it happens every few years. The debt economic crisis caused by Argentina's economic development has obviously lagged behind its neighbors.But this year, its country has become a mess, and a social storm is gradually taking shape.

However, Fang Mingyuan couldn't give up on Argentina.

Because he has already received the news that Mengchandu Company has made a breakthrough in the research and development of genetically modified products. Compared with Fang Mingyuan's previous life, work was delayed a lot.However, Mengchandu Company has a deep foundation after all, there are no wild soybeans, and the appearance of genetically modified soybeans is only a matter of time.

In China, although Fang Mingyuan also secretly acquired a seed research and development company, and has been constantly recruiting talents and investing huge sums of money in research and development of genetically modified technology for the past seven or eight years, but in this area, due to the lack of attention from the state and the Lack of talents, weak technical foundation, so far, there are only a few achievements.Fang Mingyuan is applying for patents for these achievements in China and major countries in the world.

In the process of Mengzendu Company's expansion of genetically modified technology in Fang Mingyuan's previous life, Argentina can be said to be a very important part of it. After being captured, the United States, Brazil, and Argentina are the three major exporters of soybeans in the world, and they are also the main producers of genetically modified soybeans, occupying the top three soybean producers in the world.

Fang Mingyuan is also doing it to intercept Mengchandu Company in the United States, but even he himself does not have much confidence. After all, it is the old nest of Mengchandu Company, but if it can disrupt the industry of Mengchandu Company in Argentina and Brazil The layout will undoubtedly slow down the time for Mengchandu Company to set its sights on China and buy more time for itself.

At that time, even if there is still no hard evidence that genetically modified food is harmful to human beings, at least in this industry, Huaxia's company will be able to control part of the patent rights, so as to prevent Mengchandu Company from extending its hands into the domestic seed industry.
