I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 506, page 505: "A man's anger might lead him to ruin, but it seems to be the opposite for you."

The next day at noon, Qiao Yongfeng finally returned from São Paulo, but this time he brought several Chinese people with him, including a middle-aged man in a suit.

"Qingye, this is Yang Jianjun, the Consul General of the Consulate General in São Paulo."

"This is Fang Qingye."

"Hello, Mr. Fang." Yang Jianjun warmly shook Fang Qingye's hand: "It's our fault for not doing our job well that you've been wronged."

"Consul Yang, you're too kind," Fang Qingye replied with a smile. "It's so kind of you to come all the way from São Paulo for such a short time. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work; it's our consulate's responsibility. Mr. Fang, your acquisition of Fairgray is a groundbreaking move. Once the acquisition is successful, domestic companies will follow suit, and our country's soybean food security will gradually break free from its dependence on the United States. To be honest, COFCO and COFCO Storage's cargo ships have already departed from China and are heading to Brazil."

Fang Qingye nodded.

Actually, isn't this what we risked coming to Brazil for?
If you want to make money, you might as well go to the US or Japanese stock markets and fleece the retail investors yourself.

Besides Yang Jianjun, Fang Qingye also met with the mayor of Londrina, Eliseu, who had come specifically for the occasion, and chatted happily with Yang Jianjun and others at the hotel.

They expressed their strong support for Fang Qingye and Qiao Yongfeng's proposed acquisition of Philgrey Company and pledged to provide all possible assistance.

Okay, now you're talking all high and mighty, but when the Razor Gang threatened our personal safety a few days ago, didn't you say a word?!
In the afternoon, Mayor Ilseu invited Yang Jianjun, Fang Qingye, and others to an official reception banquet. On the Brazilian side, Ilseu also invited Ferguson President Ricardo and his assistant Katia, clearly to create a favorable atmosphere for future negotiations between the two sides.

Yang Jianjun returned to São Paulo with his entourage the next morning.

Everything finally calmed down.

"Brother Qiao, we owe you a lot for bringing in reinforcements this time," Fang Qingye said with a smile.

Qiao Yongfeng laughed heartily after hearing this. "I don't have that kind of ability. Even the Consulate General in São Paulo doesn't have the power to get the government to send BOPE special forces to Londrina to wipe out the Razor Gang. You've got a lot of influence, huh?"

"My face?" Fang Qingye was baffled.

"A man might be driven to rage for a woman, but it seems to be the other way around for you, haha." Qiao Yongfeng laughed again.

"That's the end of it. Let's prepare for negotiations immediately. Philgray Company will come knocking on our door soon."

"OK then."

After Qiao Yongfeng left, Fang Qing also pondered this matter.

Could it be that Huang Tao, the girl from Dongguan, helped?

Wow, that's really fierce!
Let's not ask about the specific details; knowing too much won't do us any good. But shouldn't we thank the girl properly?
How about we go to the United States?
Let's get the acquisition sorted out first.

Negotiations with Felgrass have officially begun, and KPMG has given the company a valuation of 13 billion reais, which is, of course, the company's net assets excluding debt.

There is still a considerable gap between 13 billion and the initial offer of 16.5 billion, but Ricardo has long since lost his initial arrogance and is much more subdued at the negotiating table.

Of course, bargaining still needs to be done.

Fang Qingye did not participate in the negotiations; they were mainly led by Qiao Yongfeng and his assistant Yan Shi, while Fang Qingye sent Ou Anli.

His girlfriend, Katia, was sitting across from him at the negotiating table; the scene was quite beautiful.
Damn, I can finally fish to my heart's content! Of course, I have to bring Yue Kai along.

This afternoon, Fang Qingye and Yue Kai had just returned to the hotel from fishing when Qiao Yongfeng and others returned and told him some good news: After a thorough exchange of opinions, both parties finally reached an agreement: Bangcheng International and Tuofang Technology will acquire Filgrey Company for 13.6 billion Brazilian Reais, equivalent to US$2.44 million. Each company will contribute 50%, totaling approximately RMB 7.72 million. This is Tuofang Technology's largest investment to date.

"It's a done deal? Can we pop some champagne to celebrate?" Fang Qingye asked with a smile.

"Let's start by congratulating them tonight!" Qiao Yongfeng said, then turned to He Qingfeng and said, "Qingfeng, go and make the preparations!"

Fang Qingye looked at the people who had returned and wondered why there was one more person than when they left.
"Katia? You're here too?" Fang Qingye greeted her.

“Yes, we reached an agreement, and I can now publicly acknowledge my relationship with Ou Anli.” The girl said, taking Ou Anli’s hand openly.

"No problem, let's celebrate together!"

"Mr. Qiao, Mr. Fang, as the former assistant to the president of Philgrey Corporation, I would also like to offer you some small suggestions regarding the future development of Philgrey Corporation." Katia became serious.

"Okay, please sit down." After Fang Qingye left, only Qiao Yongfeng, Yan Shi, and Katya remained in the room.

As Ou Anli was about to leave, Fang Qingye stopped him, saying, "Why are you leaving? Aren't you going to listen to what your girlfriend is saying?"

He had no choice but to sit down.

Katia said, "Although Philgrey was forced to sell due to its heavy debt, it was caused by the insistence of a few senior executives, such as Ricardo, on investing in futures. Philgrey's middle management and the leaders of its storage companies are all very dedicated and loyal."

"Therefore, I hope that after your company acquires Fairgray, they will retain their positions and continue to serve the company."

Fang Qingye did not answer Katia's suggestion, but asked, "Katia, did you make this suggestion on your own, or were you commissioned by someone, such as those middle managers you mentioned?"

“Mr. Fang, this is just my personal opinion. They didn’t contact me because they don’t know my current identity,” Katia said hurriedly.

After listening, Fang Qingye exchanged a glance with Qiao Yongfeng before saying, "Okay, we will seriously consider your opinion. Do you have any other opinions?"

"Also, Mr. Fang, is it possible to allow O'Anli to stay?"

"Ha. Well, that depends on O'Anli's own wishes. I respect his choice," Fang Qingye said with a smile.

“I do!” O’Anli said hastily.

"I wish you both happiness together," Fang Qingye said with a smile.

After the two left, Fang Qingye asked Qiao Yongfeng, "Brother Qiao, what's your opinion?"

“I think Katia’s suggestion is feasible. Although we have purchased Philgrey Company, it is neither possible nor necessary for us to send a large number of people from China. We will mainly rely on our original employees, since they are more familiar with Philgrey Company’s operating mechanism and this land,” Qiao Yongfeng said.

"I agree with your point. I'm now considering the selection of a general manager after the acquisition."

After acquiring Filgre, Ricardo is definitely unusable. We need to replace him with someone else, preferably a local from Londrina who is familiar with and understands the operations of Filgre. More importantly, he must be loyal!

Be loyal to China!
They are currently evaluating candidates.

Upon hearing Fang Qingye's words, Qiao Yongfeng immediately understood what he meant: "You mean to let President Katie Adam?"
