Of course, Global Trade's support for Brazilian SMEs is not free. The cooperation mode is very flexible, and joint ventures can be established. Investors provide funds, and Global Trade provides projects, plans, and management.
Generally, Global Trade holds more than 30% of the shares in such projects.
This ratio is acceptable to most Brazilian entrepreneurs who aspire to enter the industrial manufacturing sector.
Another form is a full charging form, which breaks down the entire process and charges each item one by one.
For example, if you don’t know what industry you want to work in, you can ask a professional consultant to give you advice, which requires a fee.
When purchasing equipment through Global Trade, Global Trade's quotation will be higher than other companies.
However, Global Trade's complete after-sales service is unmatched by other companies. We will teach your workers step by step to produce qualified products.
If a business needs skills training, Global Trade can also provide it.
In short, when starting a business, look for Global. This has become the consensus among small and medium-sized Brazilian businessmen.
...
...
At the beginning, Fang Lang arranged Mr. Redondo to carry out this business in order to quickly build a group of small and medium-sized enterprises in Brazil and improve Brazil's industrial base.
I never expected it to be so successful.
"Boss, nice to meet you."
Redondo hasn't changed at all. He is still tall and thin, but he looks very confident. Maybe this is the result of giving lectures to others frequently!
Fang Lang pointed to the stool beside him, motioning 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 of the last time the news was spread, but in Redondo’s mind, the young boss in front of him makes him a little afraid.
When he heard that his boss had something for him to do, he immediately sat up straight and said:
"Please give me your orders!"
Seeing Redondo's look, Fang Lang smiled kindly and said:
"Don't be nervous. This 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 asked you to do it."
Redondo said seriously without changing his expression:
"It is my honor to serve you, boss. Please give me your orders and I will do it for you immediately."
“It’s very simple. First, I may have to come to Rio de Janeiro often in the future, and I want you to help me find a house with a beautiful environment here.
The environment should be good, preferably by the sea; the building area should be large enough because I may need to entertain guests often; it should be a safe and private location.
If there is no suitable place, we will buy a piece of land and build it ourselves.”
In fact, it doesn’t matter if Fang Lang doesn’t buy a house. After all, the military can reimburse the hotel expenses he stays in every time he comes to Rio.
However, after spending a night in the luxurious manor yesterday, Fang Lang felt that it would be more interesting to have a large manor of his own.
He is not short of money, and it would be more comfortable for him to have his own home.
After listening to Fang Lang's words, Lei Dongduo pondered for a long time, his eyes lit up and he said:
“Boss, I know a place that is very suitable for your requirements, but it may be a little far from the city. However, there is absolutely no need to worry about safety.
At the foot of a mountain not far from the Rio Naval Base, there is a luxurious manor from the Brazilian Empire period. 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 on the beach and about three kilometers of white sandy beach.
We need to investigate to find out who the specific owner of this manor is, but as far as I know, no one has lived in this manor for a long time.
There are only a few workers who are responsible for maintaining the manor's sanitation living there, and some farmers on the back hill often go there to work."
"Oh! How far is it from the hotel we are in now?"
"No more than twenty kilometers."
"Let's go and take a look."
After hearing Redondo's description, Fang Lang became a little impatient, as this was also the first property he bought.
Under the protection of the guards, the two drove to the place mentioned by Redondo.
"Redondo, I heard that your consulting business is very popular among the people! You have a great influence among Brazilian businessmen!"
On the way, Fang Lang asked Lei Dongduo about the business situation of some companies, although the assistant would compile these situations into a book and report them to him.
However, there is still no clear understanding after communicating with the main person in charge.
“Yes, boss. We have now supported nearly 20 medium-sized enterprises with investment scales of nearly one million US dollars in Rio, and more than 60 small enterprises with investment scales 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 42 small companies.”
This number made Fang Lang stunned. It was not that the number was too small, but Fang Lang felt that the number was too large. If Global Trade continued to manage it, there might be problems.
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 into an investment consulting company. Are you interested in being the CEO?"
Redondo obviously did not expect Fang Lang to suddenly come up with such an idea, but he soon felt relieved.
After all, it is very easy for trading companies to get into chaos when doing this business nowadays. Since he has focused on this recently, he has been unable to take care of many of his original businesses.
After thinking seriously for a while, Redondo asked:
"Boss, what are the specific articles of association of this investment consulting company? How big is its scale?"
"This is an idea I just came up with. Initially, I plan to set up a new company in partnership with the Brazilian Development Bank and the Brazilian branch of Global Trade.
The company's main business is investment consulting, which is what we are doing now, but I hope to do it more carefully and professionally.
A special asset management company will be established under this company to be responsible for managing the situation of the joint-stock company.
If the companies do well in the future, we can even help them go public, and then our investment consulting company will have a bright future.”
In fact, there are many such companies in later generations, and they are an important part of the financial industry.
The business scope of an investment consulting company 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 became famous in later generations.
Of course, these companies have already begun to emerge in this era, so Fang Lang’s idea is not actually creative.
Fang Lang's words obviously moved Lei Dongduo. He was an American and understood how much profit a company would make if it went public. The prospects of such a company were even better than Global Trade.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and said:
"Boss, I'm very happy to work for 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. He patted him on the shoulder and said:
"It's a very wise choice! I believe you won't regret it."
Of course, the rest of the matters will be directly handled by Redondo, 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 go around the beach to enter the manor.
Lang could see the manor from a distance. It was a building with at least two hundred years of history, and the entire exterior wall was carved from marble.
From a distance, it gives off a feeling of utmost luxury. The building is three stories high and the front width is over one hundred meters, but the exact depth cannot be seen clearly.
There are two long rows of marble sculptures on both sides of the main entrance, with a strong artistic atmosphere.
The white marble shows signs of erosion over the years and looks a bit mottled.
The entire building looks 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.
However, the second thing Fang Lang wanted Redondo to do was to find a place to build a naval club, which would serve as a place for important figures from the military and political circles to exchange feelings.
This place is obviously very suitable!
After walking along the beach for a distance, I could see the side of the building from a distance.
At this moment, Fang Lang was only deeply shocked. He looked at Lei Dongduo beside him and said:
"This can't be the palace of Pedro I!"
"Ah? This shouldn't be it. I didn't ask who it belongs to."
Redondo obviously didn't know exactly who the owner of the building was, but Colonel Teach should know.
However, Fang Lang did not plan to let Colonel Teach handle this matter. After establishing a club here in the future, he did not want people to know that he was the owner of the club.
"You said that all the land around here belongs to this estate, right?"
"Yes, boss!"
"I leave it to you. Find its owner and buy it. But this place is too luxurious. It's fine to run as a hotel, but it's too luxurious to live in. There are at least nearly two hundred rooms here."
Seeing that the boss was satisfied with this place, Redondo felt relieved. As for whether he could buy it, he was not worried. After all, as long as the money was in place, what could he not buy?
"Okay, boss. What about your estate?"
"The environment here is very good. Let's find another piece of land nearby. I will build a Su's garden here when the time comes."
In Fang Lang's mind, he still prefers Chinese-style buildings, especially the pavilions and terraces in Su's Garden, which Fang Lang really has a special liking for.
Especially when you think about placing a set of Kung Fu tea sets in the pavilion and using a small red clay stove to boil water for making tea, you will feel relaxed and comfortable just thinking about it.
More importantly, it can bring some Chinese elements to Brazil, so that Brazilians will gradually begin to like this style.
"Su's Garden?" Lei Dongduo had a question mark on his face, obviously touching upon his blind spot in knowledge.
Fang Lang smiled and said:
"You just need to buy a piece of land of five or six hectares nearby. I will arrange for a special master to come and build it when the time comes."
Think of the giant redwood trees in the Amazon jungle in Brazil, which are a perfect match for building Su's gardens.
Seeing that Fang Lang had made up his mind, Redondo said no more.
