Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

  Chapter 197 Investment Advisory Firms

  Global Trade's assistance to Brazilian SMEs is of course not free. The cooperation method is very flexible, and joint ventures can be established. Investors pay for it, and Global Trading provides projects, plans, and management.

  Generally, the global trade of this kind of project will occupy more than 30% of the shares.

  This ratio is an acceptable ratio for most entrepreneurs in Brazil who are interested in entering the industrial manufacturing field.

  Another form is the form of full charging, which divides the entire link and charges one item at a time.

  For example, if you don’t know what industry you want to work in, you can ask a professional consultant to provide you with advice, which requires a fee.

  Procure equipment through Global Trade, and Global Trade's quotation will be higher than other companies.

  However, Global Trade's complete after-sales service is unmatched by other companies. It will teach your workers to produce qualified products.

  If the enterprise needs skill training, Global Trade can also provide it.

  In short, to start a business, find Universal. It has become the consensus of small and medium businessmen in Brazil.

  At first, Fang Lang arranged for Mr. Redondo to start this business, also to quickly build a group of small and medium-sized enterprises in Brazil and improve Brazil's industrial foundation.

   I never expected it to be so successful.

   "Boss, nice to meet you."

   Redondo has not changed at all, his figure is still the same thin and tall, but his spirit is very confident, maybe this is the effect of giving lectures to others frequently!

  Fang Lang pointed to the stool beside him, motioned for Redondo to sit down, handed him a cigar and said:

   "Mr. Redondo, I have two things for you to do."

   I don’t know if it’s because the reason for spreading the news last time was that in Redondo’s mind, the young boss in front of him made him a little afraid.

  Hearing that the boss had something for him to do, he quickly sat upright and said:

   "Please order!"

   Seeing Lei Dongdo's appearance, Fang Lang leaked a kind smile and said:

   "Don't be nervous, this time the matter is very simple. I should have asked my assistant to do it, but considering that you are more familiar with the situation here in Rio, I ask you."

  Leidondo’s expression remained unchanged and he said seriously:

   "It is my honor to serve the boss, please give me instructions, and I will get it done for you right away."

   "Things are very simple, the first is that I may come to Rio de Janeiro often in the future, and I want you to help me find a residence with a beautiful environment here.

  The environment should be good, preferably by the sea; the building area should be large enough, because I may often need to entertain guests; it is best to have a safe and private location.

   If there is no suitable place, we will buy a place and we will build it ourselves. "

  Actually, it doesn't matter if Fang Lang doesn't buy a house. After all, every time he comes to Rio, the hotel where he stays can be reimbursed by the army.

  However, after experiencing the luxurious manor for one night yesterday, Fang Lang felt that it is interesting to have a big manor of his own.

  He is not short of money, and he feels more comfortable living in a home of his own.

  After listening to Fang Lang's words, Lei Dongdo pondered for a while, his eyes lit up and said:

   "Boss, I know that there is a place that is very suitable for your requirements, but it may be a little far from the urban area, but there is absolutely no need to worry about safety.

   Just at the foot of a mountain not far from the Rio Naval Base, there is a luxurious manor during the Brazilian Empire. The architectural style is Baroque and the area is very large.

  As far as I know, the mountains behind the manor belong to this manor, and the gate of the manor is about five kilometers away from the naval base.

   There is a small yacht marina by the sea, and there are about three kilometers of white sandy beaches by the sea.

   The specific owner of this manor needs to be investigated to find out, but as far as I know, no one has lived in this manor for a long time.

  There are only a few workers in charge of manor sanitation living there, and some farmers on the back mountain often go to work. "

   "Oh! How far is it from the hotel we are in now?"

   "No more than twenty kilometers."

   "Come on, let's go and have a look."

  After hearing Redondo's description, Fang Lang couldn't wait any longer. This was also the first property he bought himself.

  Under the protection of the guards, the two drove to the place Redondo said.

   "Redondo, I heard that the consulting business you are doing is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people! It has a lot of influence among Brazilian businessmen!"

  On the way, Fang Lang asked about the business situation of some of Lei Dongduo's companies, although the assistants would organize these situations into a book and report to him.

  However, there is still no clear communication and understanding with the main person in charge.

   "Yes boss, now we have supported nearly 20 medium-sized enterprises in Rio with an investment scale of nearly one million US dollars, and more than 60 small enterprises with an investment of less than 100,000 US dollars.

   This number is growing every day. "

   Speaking of his work, Redondo is also very proud.

   "Oh! How many of them have our shares?"

   "We hold shares in eight medium-sized companies, and forty-two small companies."

   This number stunned Fang Lang. It didn't mean that the number was too small, but that Fang Lang felt that the number was too much. If Global Trade continued to manage it, problems might arise.

   After thinking for a while, Fang Lang said:

   "Mr. Redondo, what do you think of our consulting project?"

   "Boss, this is definitely a genius idea."

   "I want to separate this project and set up an investment consulting company. Are you interested in being the boss?"

   Redondo obviously didn't expect Fang Lang to have such an idea suddenly, but he was soon relieved.

   After all, the current trading company is indeed prone to confusion when doing this business. Recently, his focus has been on this side, and many of the original businesses have been somewhat overwhelmed.

   After thinking seriously for a while, Redondo asked:

   "Boss, what is the specific constitution of this investment consulting company? How big is it?"

   "This is an idea I just came up with. Initially, I plan to establish a new company jointly with the Brazilian Development Bank and Global Trade Brazil Branch.

  The main business of the company is investment consulting, which is what we are doing now, but I hope to be able to do it in a more detailed and professional way.

  Under the banner of this company, a special asset management company will also be established to be responsible for managing the situation of our joint-stock company.

  If companies that do well in the later stage, we can even operate them to go public, then our investment consulting company will be very promising. "

  In fact, there are many such companies in later generations, and they are an important part of the financial industry.

  The business scope of investment consulting companies generally includes: investment consulting, investment management, asset management, venture capital, industrial investment, marketing planning, corporate image planning, business consulting, corporate management consulting, intellectual property agency, etc.

   For example, McKinsey, Accenture, Deloitte, Bain, etc., which are famous in later generations.

  Of course, these companies have begun to appear in this era, so Fang Lang's idea is actually not considered creative.

  Fang Lang's words obviously moved Lei Dongduo. He is an American and understands how profitable a company will be if it goes public. The prospect of such a company even exceeds that of global trade.

  Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated:

   “Boss, I am very happy to work in this new company.”

  Fang Lang originally thought that Lei Dongduo would go back and think about it, but he didn't expect him to agree directly, patted him on the shoulder and said:

   "Very wise choice! I believe you will not regret it."

   Of course, Redondo will be directly responsible for the rest of the matter, and Fang Lang does not need to participate too much. He only needs to notify the Brazilian Development Bank to arrange personnel to participate.

   Soon, the two arrived at the manor that Redondo mentioned. Because the gate of the manor was locked, they could only get out of the car and walk around into the manor from the beach.

  Lang saw the situation of the manor from a distance. This is a building with a history of at least two hundred years. The exterior wall of the entire building is carved from marble.

  From a distance, it looks like an extremely luxurious pavement. The building is three stories high, with a front width of more than 100 meters, and the exact depth cannot be seen clearly.

  There are two rows of long marble sculptures on both sides of the main entrance, with a strong artistic atmosphere.

  White marble has traces of years of erosion, which looks a little mottled.

  The whole building is as luxurious as a palace under the sunlight.

  Fang Lang's first feeling was that it was too high-profile and not suitable for him to live in.

  But the second thing Fang Lang wanted Lei Dongdo to do was to find a place to build a naval club, which would be used as a place for important officials from the military and political circles to exchange feelings.

   This place is obviously very suitable!

   Walked along the beach for a while, and could see the side of the building from a distance.

  At this moment, Fang Lang's heart was only deeply shocked, and he looked at Lei Dongdo beside him and said:

   "This is not the palace of King Pedro I!"

   "Huh? This should not be the case. I didn't ask who it is."

   Redondo obviously didn't know who the owner of this building was, but Colonel Teach should know.

  However, Fang Lang is not going to let Colonel Tiqi handle this matter. After setting up a club here in the future, he doesn't want people to know that he is the owner of the club.

   "You said that the land around here belongs to this manor, right?"

   "Yes, boss!"

   "I'll leave it to you. Find his owner and buy it. But this place is too luxurious, and it's not bad to operate as a hotel. If you live in it, it's really too luxurious. There are at least two hundred rooms here."

   Seeing that the boss was satisfied with this place, Redondo was also relieved. As for whether he could buy this place, he was not worried. After all, as long as the money is in place, is there anything that cannot be bought?

   "Okay, boss. What about your manor?"

   "The environment here is very good. Find another piece of land near here. I will build a Su family garden here."

  In Fang Lang's mind, he still prefers Chinese-style buildings, especially the pavilions and pavilions in Su's Garden. Fang Lang really has a soft spot.

  Especially when you think about the kung fu tea set in the pavilion, and the small red clay stove to boil water and make tea, you will feel relaxed and comfortable.

   More importantly, it can bring some Chinese elements to Brazil, so that Brazilians will subtly start to like this style.

   "Su's Garden?" Redondo had a question mark on his face, obviously touching his blind spot of knowledge.

   Fang Lang smiled and said:

   "You only need to buy a piece of land of five or six hectares nearby, and I will arrange a special master to come and build it."

  Think of the huge mahogany in the Brazilian Amazon jungle, which is a perfect match for the construction of Su's garden.

   Seeing that Fang Lang had made a decision, Lei Dongdo stopped talking.
