Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1341

Itabira does contain huge benefits, but if Ernesto wants to stockpile goods and take the opportunity to make a fortune from Iron Four Corners, then Ernesto is wrong.

Iron Four was a joint venture between Nyasaran and Adan, which are not yet well known in Brazil, but sooner or later Ernesto will fully realize that Nyasaran and Adan The strength of Adan Company.

Coming out of Ernesto’s office, across the road is a dilapidated slum, and the road is also in a state of disrepair. It just rained in Sao Paulo a few days ago, and the road was full of sewage, but it didn’t look dusty. .

Fan Bao looked back at the tall and majestic building of the Ministry of Commerce, then at the dilapidated slums, smiled silently and turned to get in the car.

Immediately, a group of little beggars seemed to emerge from the ground, surrounding the car Fan Bao was riding in.

"Sir, please—"

"Give me something to eat, sir, I'm starving—"

"please--"

Through the car window, one can clearly see childish faces mixed with expectations, fear, greed and many other emotions.

Fan Bao touched his wallet subconsciously.

Carlos, who was sitting in the co-pilot, opened the door.

"Go away, you filthy beggars, don't dirty my car—" Carlos yelled, pulling out a pistol, and the children rushed away.

Fan Bao's hand that had already taken out the wallet stiffened, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

"Sir, you can't give them money, or they will grow like cockroaches." Carlos is a native of Sao Paulo. He has cooperated with Christian Exploration Company before, and now he has joined Iron Four Corners as Fan Bao's assistant.

"Why don't these kids go to orphanages?" Fan Bow didn't know much about the situation in São Paulo, which is almost impossible in southern Africa.

"The orphanage can accept a few people, and the environment and conditions are not good. They don't have enough food and clothing. Many orphanages even send their children to work in factories for profit. They are all black-hearted ghosts." Rose was in a calm mood, neither ashamed nor angry, just stating the facts normally.

Fan Bao was silent, and only after leaving Nyasaland would he truly fall in love with Nyasaland.

In Nyasaland, such a thing would certainly not happen.

"During the empire, this kind of thing rarely happened, and street children were well taken care of. Now it seems to be democracy and freedom, but this kind of bad thing is increasing. People are becoming more and more selfish, and officials only care about making money for themselves. , merchants shoddy, honesty and kindness are no longer virtues, but they will be laughed at by others, if you gave money just now, those children will not only not appreciate you, but will think that you are more—well, it’s not good anyway—” Carlos lamented that people's hearts are not ancient, which is also a common problem in democratic societies.

Fan Bao became more and more silent. For a moment just now, Fan Bao really wanted to send these waifs to Nyasaland.

Now think about it or forget it, these children grow up in an environment like Sao Paulo, some things are deeply ingrained and cannot be changed at all.

It is a pity for Fan Bao that there is no Rhodesia Hotel in Sao Paulo, and Fan Bao stayed at the Alves Hotel not far from the city center.

Back at the hotel, Fan Bao sent a telegram to Los Angeles, made a few phone calls, and then drove out to the Umbrella Company's branch in St. Paul.

Yes, even São Paulo now has a branch of Umbrella Corporation.

In recent years, the law and order situation in Sao Paulo has deteriorated sharply, and most of the rich have more and more needs for security, which is the area that umbrella companies are best at.

The branch of Umbrella Company in Sao Paulo is located on Fonseca Street not far from the city hall of Sao Paulo. Although the office building is not large, it occupies a large area. The branch manager, Augusto, is a Slav and has worked for Umbrella Company. For a full 12 years.

"São Paulo is not Nyasaland. The officials here are all officials. The first task after taking office is to make money. Many of our customers are officials. The higher the position, the higher the demand for security." Augusto Enthusiasm for Fan Bao, in Sao Paulo, it is not easy to meet colleagues.

"Is Minister Ernesto also your client?" Fan Bao hoped to find a breakthrough from the umbrella.

"Hehe, this is our company secret—" Augusto looked upright, and customer information cannot be leaked casually.

"I'll treat you to a drink later. I brought a few bottles of medicinal wine produced in Johannesburg, and I promise it's the one with the best effect." Fan Bao lured him with wine.

"Hahahaha, I knew you must have brought something good——" Augusto laughed loudly, the company secrets are for outsiders, Iron Four is not an outsider, and the resources of the umbrella can be shared: "—— That guy is a scum. If it wasn't for his brother who is the president, he would only be able to pick up trash in the slums. Of all the officials I've seen, Ernesto is the most greedy, but he is also the stupidest. This guy looks ugly , commit all kinds of evil, even my own sister-in-law--"

Fan Bao accidentally ate a big melon and was dumbfounded.

Nima didn't even spare her own sister-in-law, which is too beastly.

But probably not the first lady.

"Let's go, let's go to eat first, and I'll tell you slowly." Augusto couldn't wait, he was actually not short of wine, this was just a way for Augusto and Fan Bao to deepen their relationship.

The host and guests had a good meal, Fan Bao felt a little full, the working meal of Umbrella Company was good, and the melons were also good.

Back in the office, Augusto and Fan Bao started drinking tea again.

"The situation here in Sao Paulo is like this. The rich are unkind, the poor are struggling to survive, the officials are selfish, and capable people have left Sao Paulo. Some go to the United States, some go to Europe, and some go to southern Africa. However, southern Africa is not very friendly to Brazilians because of the language barrier." Augusto did not turn into a half-orc after drinking the medicinal wine, so the effect of the medicinal wine is probably not very good.

"Christian Exploration Company has discovered a large-scale iron ore deposit in Itabira. We must find a way to buy Itabira." Fan Bao is not afraid of leaking secrets. Iron Four Corners also needs an umbrella company if it wants to gain a firm foothold in Brazil. cooperation.

"It's simple, kill Ernesto directly!" Augusto was simple and rude, and there is no more convenient way than this.

The mercenaries of the Umbrella Company are best at physical destruction.

"Get rid of Ernesto and replace him with a more capable official?" Fan Bao disagreed. It's good to be greedy, and it's embarrassing not to be greedy.

"Hahahaha, Sao Paulo is not Nyasaland, where there are so many capable officials—let's put it this way, with Ernesto's ability, if we were in Nyasaland, being a mayor would be difficult." It was only after Gusto left Nyasaland that he realized how rare it is for Nyasaland to be in the situation it is today.

Fan Bao also laughed dumbfounded. What Augusto said was right, talents are not everywhere.

The next evening, Van Bow hosted a banquet at the hotel, and both Ernesto and his presidential cousin, Epitacio Pessoa, were on the invitation list.

It seems a bit arrogant to invite the president to a banquet held by a company, doesn't it?

In fact, it is very normal. As long as "the etiquette is thoughtful", it is not difficult to ask the president to cut the ribbon.

Fan Bao is really not fooling around. Brazil started to develop a "coffee economy" 20 years ago and produced three-quarters of the world's coffee. Nyasaland has a huge market. Now the market is selling East Indian coffee. Lord, there is indeed room for cooperation with Brazil.

"The Ministry of National Defense in southern Africa alone consumes 1.5 tons of coffee every year. The whole southern Africa needs an unfathomable amount of coffee every year. The coffee production in East India is increasing every year, and now it accounts for about 20.00% of the world's total. "The data in Fan Bao's hands is very detailed, and the Brazilian government probably does not have these data.

"1.5 tons per year, that's really a big market." Epitacio Pessoa's eyes lit up when he heard it. This kind of market is often [-] tons, which is rare in the world.

Fan Bao did not explain that the coffee provided by the Ministry of National Defense in Southern Africa includes military service agencies and troops stationed abroad. Not everyone likes coffee, and many people in Southern Africa prefer to drink tea.

Certainly not the English kind of stale black tea.

"We are in contact with Brazilian companies to bring Brazilian coffee to southern Africa. Brazil produces three quarters of the world's coffee, but it has no access to the world's largest coffee market. This is both for Brazil and southern Africa. It’s a huge regret.” Fan Bao’s words contained private goods, and although the consumption of coffee in southern Africa is large, it is not the largest market in the world.

After all, the population is limited.

Epitacio Pessoa and Ernesto looked at each other, and each could see little flames in each other's eyes.

Not just any Brazilian company is qualified to engage in export trade. Fan Bao said this now, obviously to provide opportunities for the Pessoa family.

To put it bluntly, it is sending money.

"Of course, not just any coffee is eligible to enter the southern African market. We want to set up a high-quality coffee plantation in Itabira to produce coffee exclusively for southern Africa. Although Iron Four Corners is a newly established company, our Iron Four Corners The parent companies are Nyasaran Company and Adan Company, I believe His Excellency the President should have heard about it.” Fan Bao used both soft and hard methods, and if he didn’t have a strong backing, everything would be to make wedding dresses for others.

"Of course, both Nyasaland Company and Adan Company are very influential world-class companies. I have been looking forward to meeting the Marquis Nyasaland and hope to have this opportunity in the not-too-distant future." Epita Theo Pessoa is not very familiar with Nyasaran Company and Adan Company, but he is very familiar with Roque.

Even if you are not familiar with it, you must have heard of Roque's name. There are not many people who can be president who don't know Roque.
