Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 441 St. Paul

Dunga was one of the biggest contributors to the Brazil team winning the 1994 World Cup in the United States. He was selected into the best team, but his club performance was not very good. After the 1987 World Cup, he played for Stuttgart for another year, and then he was a little tired of life in Europe and began to seek a transfer.

At this time, Li Lei made a decisive move. Unlike traditional Brazilian players such as Luo and Xiaoluo, Dunga not only has excellent football skills, but also has strong discipline. He is very suitable for him to lead the young people of the Panpan team. Dunga originally planned to go to Japan. The J-League, and has already started contact with the Iwata Joy team, unexpectedly a competitor suddenly appeared.

At first, Dunga didn't want to come to China. After all, Japan is a developed country and has always had a good relationship with Brazil. China is still a developing country, and there is no way to compare with Japan in all aspects.

However, he finally succumbed to money. Iwata Joy offered him an annual salary of 100 million US dollars, while the Panpan team directly raised 50 and was willing to provide him with a three-year contract. Dunga’s salary in European football is not high. High, he can't get a big endorsement contract like Ronaldo, so Dunga's total football career income is not high, 50 more in one year, 150 million more in three years, this is definitely not a small amount, so After a little bit of tangling, Dunga signed a contract with the Central Plains Panpan team.

Now that League One A has not yet entered the Golden Yuan era, the income of foreign aid for each team is not very high. Famous foreign aid such as Quanxing’s Mamelo and Dalian Wanda’s Nemechek only cost 20 yuan a year. Dunga's annual salary of 150 U.S. dollars is only 150 million U.S. dollars. Dunga's [-] million U.S. dollars shocked the entire domestic football, but no matter fans or players, there is not much doubt about Dunga's salary. He is the captain of the world champion team and takes [-] million U.S. dollars. Isn't that what the annual salary should be?
And Li Lei did not lose money. Although he offered Deng Jia a sky-high annual salary, the advertising effect brought by Dun Jia also greatly increased the sales of Panpan Foods. When he asked Dun Jia to shoot some advertisements for other products, he paid his annual salary All earned back.

Moreover, the Panpan team has also established a relationship with Stuttgart, and has carried out more cooperation. The Panpan team sent a batch of good seedlings to Germany for training. Stuttgart also took a fancy to Zheng Zhi and Qu from the Panpan team. Bo two young talents, the Panpan team did not prevent the players in the team from studying abroad like other A-A teams, but was very supportive and readily signed a contract with Stuttgart. Now the two have begun to play in the Bundesliga. With brilliant performances from time to time, it is no longer a problem to gain a firm foothold in the Bundesliga. It is expected that the future of the two will be brighter than in the original history.

Dunga is 36 years old this year. According to his idea, after playing for the Panpan team this season, he will return to Brazil to retire, and he has already started contacting the Brazil international team he played for when he debuted. Li Lei also supports it very much. It just so happens that there is a break in the league right now, so let’s take him back by the way. Brazil is the kingdom of football, and people love football very much. As the captain of the Brazilian team and the hero of the World Cup, Dunga enjoys a great reputation in Brazil. Ask him to help introduce some contacts.

"A few years ago when you invited Dunga with a high salary, the domestic media said that you were taken advantage of. Their vision is really too short-sighted! Mr. Li, you must have been thinking about investing in Brazil a few years ago. Please come, when you go to Brazil, the road will be much easier, the value of these millions of flowers!" The leader of Zhonglin immediately thought of the reason why Dunga appeared here, he definitely did not just take a chance That's all.

"Can we take a photo with Dunga?" The football-loving leader immediately pulled Dunga into a pose after getting permission.

After taking photos of the plane taking off, everyone was still talking about football enthusiastically, regretting what happened to Brazil in the 98 World Cup final, and some people asked with great interest the reason for Ronaldo's abnormal performance in the final. Answer positively.

After all, everyone was going to do business, so after chatting for a while, they started to get down to business. The leader of Zhonglin introduced the current situation and investment policies in Brazil to Li Lei. The current economic situation in Brazil is not good. Since last year , Brazil has fallen into an economic crisis.

At the end of last year, in order to solve the problem of excessive debt, the Brazilian government decided to adopt the most commonly used financial method by governments of all countries, which is to increase interest rates to induce funds to stay in the country. 49.75%, but this has increased the cost of Brazilian public debt, leading to an even greater increase in the amount of debt, and investors have fled when the situation is not good.

Later, the International Monetary Fund expressed its willingness to provide huge aid loans to Brazil. This news strongly boosted the confidence of investors, and international funds began to re-enter Brazil; After the aid agreement reached, the Minas-Grace State's proposal to request a moratorium on the repayment of its state government's loan to the federal government was also rejected by Congress because they feared that other states would follow suit.

After the news broke, the Brazilian stock market plummeted continuously. It fell by 7.62% on the first day, and 15 minutes after the opening of the second day, the market fell by more than 10.23%. The exchange rate of the Brazilian currency Real also fell by 23.4%. With the halving, Brazil, like Southeast Asian countries, is in an economic crisis.

The leader glanced at Dunga who had already fallen asleep, and then whispered, "This is good news for us. Brazil is in great need of foreign exchange now, and many originally good projects and resources are also being sold at low prices. I plan to buy a large amount of wood. Brazil is rich in forest resources and the level of development is very low. It has a large number of wood resources, and the diameter is large and the width of the board is wide. This is unmatched by domestic wood! Minmetals and Baosteel also want to take the opportunity to win a few more. The quality of Brazil’s iron ore is also very good, but China Construction is a little depressed because of the economic crisis, and many construction projects cannot be carried out.”

"This is the best way. I also want to go to Brazil to buy more farms!" Li Lei also decided to invest in Brazil knowing this information. If it was changed to other times, it would definitely not be as convenient as it is now.

Then I talked about Brazil’s investment policy. The investment policy in Brazil is still relatively loose. Foreign capital does not need to be approved for investment in Brazil, but only needs to go through registration procedures; the Central Bank of Brazil is responsible for the registration and tracking of foreign investment. certificates, and regularly publish statistics on foreign investment; the Brazilian government has not established a special agency responsible for the introduction of foreign investment, and the foreign investment policies of different industries are generally in charge of the industry's competent government department.

That is, the control of foreign exchange is stricter. Foreign companies and individuals are generally not allowed to open foreign exchange accounts in Brazilian banks. Foreign exchange entering Brazil must be converted into Brazilian national currency at the official exchange rate of the day.The remittance of profits by foreign-funded enterprises must be carried out under the supervision of the Central Bank of Brazil.

After hearing that Li Lei planned to invest in agriculture, the leader of Zhonglin thought about it and said, "In this case, we must first contact the Foreign Trade Commission and the Ministry of Agriculture. I have dealt with these two departments and know some people. We can do it first when we arrive in Brazil. A reception, invite them over, and introduce you to them at the reception!"

"Brazil still has relatively strict restrictions on the acquisition of domestic land by foreign capital. I'm afraid this level is not easy!" Li Lei is most concerned about this issue now. Brazil is rich in land resources and has a large area of ​​arable land. The Brazilian government also encourages Foreign companies and individuals invest in agriculture in Brazil, but out of consideration for homeland security and suppression of land speculation, they have formulated some restrictive policies for foreigners to purchase land in Brazil.

For example, at least 30% of the "fragmented land" developed by private reclamation enterprises (LOTEAMENTOS RURAIS—referring to the rational division of large rural wasteland through road construction, etc.) should be distributed to Brazilians; Land reclamation and Land Reform Bureau approval, etc.

"In the past, this aspect was indeed very strict. It took us a lot of effort to buy land to build a timber processing plant, but it became much more convenient after 95. Brazil relaxed restrictions on land purchases, and then we purchased land more smoothly. , but you understand the environment in South America, if you follow the official procedures, you will have to wait." The leader of Zhonglin gave Li Lei a look that everyone could understand.

"These are small things." Li Lei has already thought about it. At that time, he will find someone to open a company to be responsible for the operation. This is better than his own company. It is equivalent to building a firewall, and even if something goes wrong, there will be a loopback This is what Wang Dalu did in "In the Name of the People".

After talking for a while, everyone was a little tired, so they lay down on the flat seats and rested. This is the benefit of charter flights, which is not convenient for ordinary flights.

At the same time, it also saves a lot of time. For civil aviation, it takes 26 hours to reach Sao Paulo from Paris, and it takes [-] hours to reach Sao Paulo. This is just the flight time. If you add the transit time on the road, it will be longer; and charter flights can be shorter. During the route, they only need to land and refuel halfway to continue flying, so they landed in Sao Paulo, the largest city in Brazil, the next day.

After getting off the plane, Dunga became the focus of attention. People kept coming to say hello to him and ask for autographs for group photos. Although Dunga was tired from the journey, he still tried his best to satisfy their wishes. This professional attitude made Li Lei appreciate it very much. He is gratified that Dunga has taught the young people in the team a lot in the past few years in the Panpan team. The professionalism of the Panpan team players is definitely the best in China.

Even when they went through the customs, it was much more convenient. The other company members who accompanied them said that it was really comfortable to travel with Li Dong this time.

"Boss, my family has come to pick me up. I'll go home first, and I'll invite you to the hotel tomorrow as a guest! You can call me anytime you need me in Brazil, and I'm very willing to help you! "Although Dunga was born in Rio Grande do Sul, where the Brazilian international team is located, like other famous Brazilian stars, he also bought luxury houses in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.

"Okay, we have to rest today, and tomorrow I will visit your home with a gift! In addition, we may have a reception in the next few days. If it is convenient, you can also bring your family!" Li Lei felt a little regretful, "It would be nice if you were also interested in investing, then we can cooperate more and you can earn more money!"

Dunga smiled and shook his head, "I never do things that I am not sure about, and the only thing I am sure about is football! I have also learned a lot from Mr. Troussier in the past few years, maybe after retiring I will try to be a coach! But I can introduce you to other partners. Among the Brazilian players, there are still some people who are very interested in investing, such as Ronnie!"

"Ronaldo?" Li Lei was pleasantly surprised, because this is indeed a good partner. Many Brazilian players spend a lot of money while playing football, and they go bankrupt soon after retiring, such as Ronaldo Jr. and Adria No, but Ronaldo is different. Not only did his assets not shrink after retiring, but they skyrocketed due to many successful investments.

Ronaldo likes investing very much. His investment scope involves real estate, supermarkets, gyms, wine, e-sports sector, sports medicine and other fields. It has reached about 40 billion yuan, which is definitely a rare anomaly among Brazilian players.

"Yes, unfortunately, Ronnie is injured now and is recuperating in Rio de Janeiro. I can call him over, and I believe he is also willing to cooperate with the richest man!" After many years in China, Dunga knew how rich Li Lei's wealth is. How huge, to cooperate with such a successful businessman, I believe Ronaldo is absolutely willing.

"That couldn't be better!" Li Lei pondered, Ronaldo's influence in Brazil is much greater than that of Dunga, and doing business with him will definitely save a lot of effort.

After parting, Dunga went home with his family, and Li Lei and the others took the welcome car of the hotel to rest. Since they came to discuss business this time, Li Lei did not choose a more comfortable resort hotel, but booked a more comfortable resort hotel. Partial business, an internationally renowned five-star hotel chain.

After checking in, they didn't have time to taste the local Brazilian cuisine, so the group hurried back to their rooms to rest. Even if it was a business jet, flying for more than 20 hours in a row, everyone couldn't bear it.

It was already noon when I woke up the next day. At this time, Dunga had already arrived at the hotel. Li Lei went downstairs with a gift and got into Dunga's car to go to his villa. When he arrived at the door, Dunga expressed his thanks again. He was able to buy this villa because of Panpan's high salary.

When they entered the yard, they saw a young man with a bald head and rabbit teeth waving to them.
