Chapter 296 Investing in South America
Brazil ranks fifth in the world in terms of area and population, and its per capita GDP has reached US$14,000. Although its development is still uneven, Brazil's huge market undoubtedly attracts investors around the world, including the Jeju Consortium.
On the 10th, Ji Feng took a special plane and his wife Sika and a team of about 80 people to visit Brazil, which was warmly welcomed by the Brazilian president and his wife, as well as senior Brazilian government officials.
As the world's most famous consortium head, Ji Feng is extremely eager to pull him into his own country to invest, not to mention poor countries. An extremely poor country like North Korea wants to support Ji Feng as his grandfather, just ask you to come to your own country and spend tens of billions.
Although this visit to South America will only stay in three countries, it involves more than three countries, and almost all the countries of the South American League will cover it. However, other countries are still a long way from the negotiations, or the groups under the consortium have signed an agreement, so Ji Feng is not allowed to attend in person.
The convenience of wireless power has obviously been recognized by countries around the world, especially Jeju Island and all South American countries have visa-free agreements. They can travel to Jeju Island at any time to do business. As they travel more, they naturally agree more with this super convenience that does not require any power lines at all.
The terrain of many countries in South America is relatively complex, with mountains, plateaus, swamps, etc. that enrich these countries' resources, while also bringing huge troubles to their construction.
Take Brazil, the largest, for example, the regional development is extremely uneven. Although the per capita GDP has reached US$14,000, there are still a large number of areas that have not been powered on. It is not that they don’t want to, but that the construction is too difficult.
Brazil's electricity market is mainly based on hydropower. If it is a year when there is a lot of rainfall, everything will naturally be fine. However, as long as there is a little less rainfall, Brazil's already tight electricity will immediately cause the idea of collapse. Even in the slums of many cities, it is impossible to guarantee that electricity will be supplied 24 hours a day on normal days.
As developing countries and countries with very good economic development, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and other countries have opened up the power market to the outside world, in addition to seasonal power instability, hydropower accounts for the majority of them is also one of the factors that make them unstable.
Therefore, in the face of complex terrain and continuous power tension, Jeju Energy's wireless power system came into their sight from the beginning.
With the testing and formal application of wireless power, and the obedience of many countries in the world, they immediately negotiated and negotiated with Jeju Island to introduce Jeju wireless power system, South America, especially the above-mentioned three countries and its neighboring countries, was a little anxious.
In addition to their own desire to change the power shortage, pressure from ordinary people also forced them to take it seriously, not to mention that they originally allowed foreign capital to invest in their own power market.
In this case, when Brazil, Argentina and Chile found Jeju Energy, Ji Feng suggested that all countries in South America should contact them, and simply cover all countries in South America with wireless power systems, and establish a new and huge power company in South America.
According to Jeju Energy's proposal, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and other countries basically have no objection, because many countries actually have no need to build power systems, or simply say that they cannot afford to introduce such systems. After all, the entry threshold is as high as 60 billion Jinan yuan, and small countries, especially developing small countries, are basically responsible for wirelessly. If they want to enjoy the convenience brought by wireless power, they can only rely on big countries or simply give up this market.
There are also some that are really not suitable for deploying wireless power systems. For example, like Chile, its terrain is too narrow and cannot give full play to the advantages of wireless power systems. Therefore, the joint deployment between Chile and Argentina is obviously more in line with resource optimization.
According to the consultation, no matter what geopolitical, political, ethnic issues there are, and other issues in South America, these wireless power facilities shall not be attacked when there is any conflict in the future. This article reminded South American countries at the beginning of the investment negotiations and was recognized by them. Wireless power is mainly civilian, and you can use it freely in military terms. However, if there is a conflict, whoever attacks wireless power facilities will be jointly sanctioned and attacked by other South American countries.
Although Ji Feng didn't want to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, he had to remind them in this regard that although South America is much more stable than Africa, there are still many problems. Fortunately, there is an alliance of countries in South America that can solve most problems through consultation and negotiation.
In fact, Ji Feng really wanted to negotiate and cooperate directly with this alliance, but the degree of openness of the countries within the alliance was different, and his attitude towards wireless power was also different, and there were some urgent and slow things. In the end, he would just do it one by one, and he could do it as much as he could join forces.
When Ji Feng held talks with leaders of ten South American countries and relevant industry leaders in Brasilia, Sika represented Ji Feng to participate in the opening ceremony of Jeju Bank's South American branch, and was also enthusiastically welcomed by the fans of South American in his youth.
Before, Sika never thought that they would have so many fans in South America. Although they knew that there were, they never thought that the enthusiasm of these fans was so heartless. Excited, Sika readily agreed to hold a fan meeting in a large bar in Brasilia tomorrow.
That night, Ji Feng learned about Sika's decision and couldn't help but shook his head with a smile: "You are the queen mother, right? The enthusiasm of South America is famous all over the world. You can feel how unforgettable they are when you attend their samba dances a few times."
Sika patted her forehead with annoyance, and smiled with a smile: "I'm so stupid. I actually forgot the Samba in South America. So do you think I want to learn a while? Otherwise, they will definitely be laughed at tomorrow. Okay, you go to bed yourself, I want to teach me."
Seeing the inspiring Sika turning her head and leaving the room, Ji Feng was speechless. Even if you really want to learn Samba, you don’t have to work like this. However, Ji Feng didn’t plan to call her back. It just so happened that he could comfort several little beauties in London by taking advantage of this skill.
The next day, when Sika held a fan meeting with thousands of fans in a large bar, Ji Feng and Ten Kingdoms were basically determined. The talks were almost done, but Ji Feng was just there to give the G10 a reassurance on the spot. Of course, since Ji Feng brought more corporate groups, he naturally wanted to take root in South America.
After two days, after fierce struggles and negotiations, the two sides finally determined the composition of the new group. At the same time, after Ji Feng gave up some of the interests, other groups successfully entered the above ten countries.
Jeju Entertainment Group will establish a South American branch, headquartered in Buenos Aires, and will explore the advantages of South American performing artists and singers, open the Jeju Island Portuguese channel, and broadcast it for Portuguese citizens around the world.
At the same time, the Jeju TV Development Corporation, a subsidiary of Jeju Entertainment Group, will set up a manufacturing factory in Brazil to manufacture a new generation of naked-eye 3D TV developed by Jeju Entertainment Group, and the TV will be embedded in wireless power modules, digital TV receiving modules, satellite TV receiving modules, data interaction modules, etc.
This is a localized product implemented by the newly established TV Development Corporation of Jeju Entertainment Group based on the technology provided by Ji Feng. Users can place the TV in any position they want to place, without worrying about the constraints of cables, because this product has completely abandoned any cables.
Brazil's TV manufacturing factory will localize all accessories, and the finished products will be supplied to some countries in South, North America, and Western Europe. Another factory is under construction in Sabah, where it will produce millions of units annually, mainly supplying countries in Asia and Eastern Europe.
In addition to Jeju Bank's first opening in South America, the meeting also determined that Jeju Airlines and Jeju Shipping Group achieved closer traffic frequency with many countries in South America.
Except for the capitals of ten countries, all of which were approved for direct flights to Jeju Airlines, Gore Airlines, the largest low-cost civil aviation company in Brazil, was approved to be held by Jeju Airlines at this meeting after losing money due to poor management. After the completion of this US$3.8 billion merger, Jeju Airlines will not only obtain nearly 100 international routes from South America and many other continents, but will also improve the civil aviation industry in South America and invest 2 billion Jinan to continue to increase the cheap civil aviation fleet in South America.
At the same time, Jeju Airlines, Jeju Haiyuan, Jeju Entertainment, Jeju Hotel and Catering, and Jeju Tourism Group jointly cooperated to develop tourism, hotels, civil aviation and other businesses in South America.
The last largest project, Jeju Energy Group will jointly invest with ten countries to establish the largest South American power company in South America. Among them, Jeju Energy will invest 22 radio stations ranging from 20 million to 80 million in South America and obtain a controlling stake of 51. Ten countries occupy 49 with their own markets, existing power stations and multiple power companies that can be transformed, plus minerals, resources, cash, etc. worth about 500 billion Jinan.
The new South American Power Company will serve the entire South America and will set up branches in various countries that need it. The wireless power service and charges in their own territory will be paid taxes within the territory of each country. Finally, the South American Power Company Corporation will only pay very little taxes to the country where it is located.
But even if it is very rare, it is also the focus of competition among countries. After all, this is a long-term and stable tax, involving a huge tax of hundreds of millions of dollars every year, and no South American country will let it go easily.
After quarrels and negotiations by the G10, South American Electric Power Company finally settled in Brazil, but was not in the capital Brasilia, but in the city of Sao Paulo, the largest city in South America. For this reason, the Brazilian government paid the price of the São Paulo Airport and the mining rights of a copper mine.
The new Jeju Airlines (South America) AG will use Sao Paulo as its home port and continue to hold shares in several other South American airports. In addition, the acquired Gore Airlines will become the largest airline in South America after completing the acquisition and injecting new funds to purchase the aircraft.
Not to mention that Ji Feng also obtained a piece of copper mine at a bargain price. Although there is only a small copper mine there, it has a copper reserve that surprises the whole world on the deeper layer. It has not been discovered for various reasons. If it develops according to the historical trajectory, it will only be discovered by people 20 years later. (To be continued. Please search for Piaotian, novels are better, updated and faster!)
