Brazil

Brazil is the largest country in South America. Whenever people mention Brazil, the word 'football' will pop up in their minds unconsciously.

Everything in this country can be linked to football, and some memories may even go astray due to the strong imprint of football.

Brazil is known as the "Kingdom of Football" due to the country's love for football and the achievements of its men's and women's national teams in world competitions.

Judging from the history of Brazil, Brazil was the only major country to escape the two world wars in modern times and has enjoyed hundreds of years of peace and stable development.

It has a vast land area, enough to rank among the top ten in the world, a large population, and the population in later generations will exceed 200 million. It is also rich in various domestic resources. With various conditions, it already has the foundation to become a world-class power.

After the end of World War II, Brazil ushered in a period of rapid development. During the recovery of the world economy, there was an urgent need for a large amount of raw materials.

Brazil has gained huge profits in the process of rising prices of various raw materials.

From 1967 to 1974, Brazil's GDP grew at an average rate of 10% for eight consecutive years, creating the so-called "Brazilian Miracle."

With an average annual growth rate of 10% for eight consecutive years, the Brazilian miracle became the hottest topic at the time.

At that time, Brazil's economic growth rate was only matched by Japan in the world.

However, this growth rate came to an abrupt halt in the mid-1970s due to the impact of the oil crisis.

Immediately afterwards, as the Federal Reserve raised interest rates, the U.S. dollar continued to strengthen, and the currencies of Latin American countries such as Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina depreciated sharply. Their economies were in trouble, and a debt crisis broke out in 1982.

Before the 1980s, countries around the world generally adopted protective measures for food production, but after the Uruguay Round, countries relaxed tariffs, domestic support and export subsidies.

Under the framework of to, the liberalization of grain trade promotes the further free flow of grain around the world, further reduces transaction costs, and further highlights the scale effect of grain traders.

Brazil is the world's largest soybean exporter. Before 1990, grain prices and exports were strictly controlled by the government.

However, after the "Agricultural Products Storage Law", the Brazilian government continued to withdraw from the grain storage business and actively encouraged private individuals to build warehouses.

Due to serious inflation, the government continues to shrink its agricultural credit policy, which gives foreign investment a good opportunity.

It was also at that time that the four major grain merchants entered Brazil and carried out massive expansion.

Brazil's current domestic and foreign debt is serious, and there are already signs of inflation, but this does not affect Yang Chen's investment.

Agriculture is the pillar industry of the Brazilian economy. Even if Brazil has inflation, it will not affect its food exports.

However, due to the distance, Yang Chen's investment in Brazil will be very limited. After all, the distance between Brazil and Xiangjiang is too long.

Not to mention other things, the freight cost alone will be a lot higher. Fortunately, he still has time. Once he has laid a solid foundation in Asia, it will not be too late to enter.

Next, Yang Chen's main base will be located in Australia, not far from Xiangjiang.

When talking about Australia, I have to say that its unique environment and resources are really enviable.

Livestock and mining are important economic pillars of Australia and are world-famous.

Therefore, people vividly call Australia "the country riding on the back of a sheep" and "the country sitting in a mine cart".

Australia has lush pastures, abundant underground water resources, and a hot and dry climate, which is very suitable for the growth and reproduction of sheep.

?In addition, Australia is one of the world's most important food producers and exporters.

Australia's main crops include wheat, barley, rapeseed, sorghum, etc.

Because of its sparse population and large land area per capita, Australia has a very high degree of mechanization.

Agricultural mechanization has resulted in a very small number of people engaged in agriculture in Australia, with only about 6% of the population engaged in agriculture.

Agricultural mechanization means reduced labor costs, which has great advantages for the export of agricultural products.

In addition, coupled with Australia's unique geographical location, it is the only country in the world that occupies a single continent. With a land area of ​​more than 7 million square kilometers, it is the smallest among the six continents in the world.

Surrounded by sea, Australia's shipping industry is very developed. As long as we find a suitable place near the sea, we can build a port.

Convenient transportation has also reduced Australia's transportation costs.

As one of the Commonwealth countries, Australia can be said to be the best and most suitable investment location for Yang Chen today.

Compared with Brazil, Australia is much closer to Asia, and the influence of Hong Kong's two financial giants, HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank, cannot be ignored.

In later generations, the richest man Li bought real estate around the world. Reading the autobiography of Mr. Li, it is not difficult to see that the shadow of the financial giant HSBC was always behind his success.

It was later revealed that the largest landowner of local vineyards in Australia, with tens of thousands of hectares of Australian vineyards, was actually owned by Mr. Li.

Richest man Li can be found in all major cargo terminals and livelihood industries in Australia.

Ever since Mr. Li succeeded in swallowing up Hutchison Whampoa, HSBC has been providing strong support behind the scenes.

Many of the acquisition plans of the richest man in later generations, Li, all selected former British colonies. Commonwealth countries like Australia were basically the "sphere of influence" of HSBC Bank.

Whenever Mr. Li wants to acquire companies in these countries, HSBC can provide him with accurate information and help.

There is a financial giant that collects information, rolls up its sleeves and "takes the lead" to smoothen relationships.

Although this life is not cheating, it is no different from wearing the best equipment.

Nowadays, Yang Chen doesn't need to go to Australia for on-the-spot investigation. As long as he goes through two financial institutions, HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank, he can get a clear picture of what he wants.

Australia has fewer people and more land, so it is perfect to enclose and develop large-scale farms.

In addition, Australia's mining industry Yang Chen will also participate. With the opening of the inland, the demand for various raw materials will be unimaginable.

It is better for this wave of money-making opportunities to come into one's own pocket than to be taken away by outsiders.

With the development potential of the inland, no matter how stupid he is, he will not give up this rare investment opportunity.

This kind of food goes in with the left hand and comes out with the right hand. No matter how you look at it, the meat is rotten in your own pot.

With this cow in Australia having blood transfusions and a retail store with terminal sales channels, as long as he doesn't seek death, I believe no one can kill him.

Even the four major grain merchants could only stare blankly and sit down to discuss the matter of the fifth grain merchant.
