Chapter 268: Sao Paulo
As for what Chang Cheng said, that more than ten billion will be invested later, Chen Yiyang didn’t take it seriously.These kinds of follow-up investment promises are just something to listen to.
If even half of the funds are in place at the end, that would be good enough, and that would be gradually, not all at once.
Chen Yiyang felt that Yiyang Automobile Factory was fully capable of taking on this order.
Once Yiyang Automobile Factory’s first model is developed, cars can be produced simultaneously domestically and in Brazil.
By then, relying on sales from these two large markets, the research and development costs for Yiyang Automobile could be offset, significantly boosting Yiyang Automobile’s profits.
Of course, the most pressing question now is how Chen Yiyang can wrestle this automobile factory from Mercedes-Benz and Chang Cheng.
"By the way, did you hire the security team I asked for?" Chen Yiyang looked up and inquired of Bia.
"Yes, we did." Bia nodded, "This security team is sent by the largest security company in Brazil. They have good relations with all the major gangs in Sao Paulo; generally, no gang members would deliberately cause trouble for those they protect."
"That’s good." Hearing Bia’s explanation, Chen Yiyang knew they definitely hired professionals.
Bullets don’t have eyes.
No matter how strong the bodyguards are, they can’t beat someone who’s meticulously planning to harm you.
So, the security company must maintain good relations with the local gangs to protect their clients safely.
"I have a meeting this afternoon, let the security team accompany me when I head out."
After finishing his words, Chen Yiyang turned to Bia, "By the way, you should come along too."
"Does it count as a business trip?" Bia directly asked.
Foreigners are so direct.
Chen Yiyang briskly replied, "Yes, it does."
"Then I want to go too, and I want it to count as overtime." The little accountant chimed in from the side.
"You better stay obediently in the hotel, okay? If the two of us go out together and get blocked, there’d be no one to report it." Chen Yiyang stopped the little accountant from following them out.
In fact, he somewhat regretted bringing the little accountant to Brazil this time.
He didn’t expect the security situation in Brazil to be this bad.
"Actually, most places in Sao Paulo are quite safe. Many multinational companies have their headquarters in Sao Paulo."
At this point, Bia couldn’t help but comment, "As long as you don’t accidentally wander into some gang districts, generally there won’t be any issues."
"I could still hear gunshots before going to sleep last night." Chen Yiyang didn’t believe Bia’s words at all.
"That’s because the distance between gang areas and normal areas is too close."
Bia began to explain to Chen Yiyang the history and current status of Sao Paulo.
Sao Paulo is the first truly industrial city in South America.
The so-called industrial city is in contrast to a consumer city.
The earliest cities in South America were consumer cities, designed primarily for the lifestyle of nobles, their servants, and associated service personnel.
Consumer cities are characterized by only taking food and related products from the surroundings, but not giving much back.
But Sao Paulo is different. After its establishment, a large number of factories were born there.
Combined with Sao Paulo’s advantageous port location, this led to Sao Paulo providing a large number of products externally.
In the 1950s, Sao Paulo was the world’s third-largest skyscraper city, second only to New York and Chicago.he kind of people our active-duty soldiers are. No wonder our active-duty soldiers got kidnapped for ransom by a gang in South America."
Schaefer was talking about an incident a few years ago that caused quite a stir in Europe when German active soldiers were kidnapped for ransom.
At that time, Germany collaborated with Chile and sent some soldiers to Chile to train local soldiers in modern warfare.
Then on a day off, ten German soldiers were out shopping in the streets of Chile, wearing civilian clothes.
They ended up facing five Chilean thugs trying to mug them. After a round of fisticuffs, the ten German soldiers were captured by the five thugs.
