As people get older, they always pay more attention to feelings. Huang Jindi is no exception.
In the past two months, he had felt extremely drained of energy and seemed to be unable to get excited about anything. He didn't like this feeling. He had worked all his life and didn't want to have a rest of his life.
But the reality is stubborn, even more stubborn than the old man's stubbornness.
As many people have said, perhaps the dissipated energy brought him closer to nature, or perhaps the desire for life brought him closer to religion. Huang Jindi began to read Taoist classics and Buddhist scriptures. It was in this mood that he met Huang Xuan at the anniversary celebration.
An indescribable feeling surrounded the old man. Huang Jindi felt that his eldest grandson might not be as unbearable as people rumored. If he had another 0 years, he would be able to train a perfect successor.
if…
Huang Jindi felt that the most fatal flaw in his life was his cowardice about the future - although others did not think that this old man who was still able to make changes today had such emotions - this cowardice made him content with the status quo and made him unable to Willing to touch Huang's increasingly decayed and increasingly larger body.
In the dark, Huang Jindi regarded Huang Xuan as himself. He hoped that his eldest grandson would not follow in his footsteps, and that his eldest grandson could carry the banner of the Huang family - and only he could carry it.
"Be brave..." As time passed, Huang Jindi could only place his hope on Huang Xuan, and there was only hope left.

There are many flights from China to Brazil. You can choose Air France, Lufthansa, or KLM via Europe. You can choose South African Airways via Johannesburg. You can choose United Airlines flights via the United States, but you need to prepare a US visa. At this time, you can see Zhang Xinyi's shrewdness. On the pretext of a long transit time in Europe, she chose the United Airlines flight for Huang Xuan and others, which gave Huang Xuan reason to get a U.S. visa—of course, the cost is definitely higher than going to Europe. Much higher - but if necessary, Huang Xuan can also find another way.
The plane took off at 0:00 on Sunday afternoon. When Huang Xuan looked down at the white clouds, he had already dealt with all the matters he could handle: saying goodbye to his family, saying goodbye to his classmates, and temporarily handing over the aluminum factory to Li Shenggang's management... The base will continue to stay there, but as long as it carries the energy chain, the connection with Lorraine will not be interrupted. After completing this most important work, Huang Xuan only felt reluctant to give up.
When her mother said goodbye, she acted very strong, as if she was sending her son off on a short trip. Huang Xuan hugged her gently and silently promised in his heart, "We must step back to this land in an upright manner."
The flight gradually became smoother, and the flight attendant indicated that the seat belt could be unfastened. Huang Xuan yanked off the cumbersome thing, ignored his father's expression, and turned his head towards the window.
Large clouds were leaping under the wings of the plane, and the blue sky became the embellishment. Huang Xuan looked greedily at these familiar and unfamiliar scenes, fearing that he would never see such clouds and blue again after getting off the plane.
"Lorraine, are you still there?" Although he had already received Lorraine's assurance, Huang Xuan was still worried that he would disappear when he needed him most.
"exist."
"Can you cure grandpa? I mean his body."
"He is not sick, just weak."
"So?" Huang Xuan felt himself becoming weaker.
"There are many ways to regain my vitality, but I can't do it right now."
Huang Xuan had known this result for a long time, but he couldn't help but ask, and then got a disappointing answer. The clouds outside the window were rolling and falling backwards. His lips trembled and he said, "Lorraine, when can you do it? I mean, in a similar way."
"This not only requires base level, but also supplies from the current plane. The specific time cannot be estimated."
Huang Xuan fell silent again.
Huang's father was also silent. He was an unsmiling father who was impeccable in fulfilling his father's responsibilities, but was not good at expressing himself. Most of the time, communication with Huang Xuan was done by Zhang Xinyi. Even at this time, Huang Qunsheng himself was somewhat sad.
Also going to Brazil was Huang's father's personal assistant Li Qing. He had just been promoted to temporary housekeeper. His duties had not changed much, but his salary had obviously increased a lot.
For him, it doesn't matter whether he stays in China or in Brazil. Going abroad for free may be more pleasant. But maybe the silence of the Huang family and his son infected him. Maybe he also foresaw how difficult it would be to stay in Brazil. Instead, his face showed Slight worry.
…
When it comes to Brazil, most Chinese people know about its football, its samba, and its carnival, but few know about its soybeans and its coffee.
In fact, Brazil, which has the largest economic strength in Latin America, has the world's largest sugar, coffee and citrus production, the world's second cocoa and soybean production, and the world's third corn production, and China is the world's largest producer of sugar, coffee and citrus. Brazil is the largest importer of soybeans. To be more precise, when an ordinary Chinese person picks up a barrel of soybean oil in the supermarket, there is a greater than 1 in 10 chance that it comes from Brazil.
As for the Huang family, their main investments in Brazil are ports and agriculture.
In terms of agriculture, Brazil is a strange country. Unlike China, which began farming civilization thousands of years ago, Brazil is still in the era of reclamation. The country has about 400 million hectares of arable land and 100 million hectares of land that can be exploited. The current The area of cultivated land is only more than 50 million hectares. Although it has increased by 1.8% year by year in the past 20 years, it only accounts for 6% of the land area.
Such data can shock any Chinese. If Mr. Qin Shihuang knew that there was such fertile land in a foreign country, he would definitely dream of taking Qin's iron hoof across the ocean.
On the plane, Huang Xuan read through the documents his mother had given him alone. This is an attachment to a share transfer agreement, which transfers all the properties of Huang's Fund in Brazil to Huang Xuan's name and will be run by his guardian until he is 18 years old.
As Huang's largest investment abroad, it has a wholly-owned subsidiary in Brazil, Shengfeng Company. It has a farm with Brazil's famous "savanna", covering a total area of 10,000 hectares. According to the purchase price that year, the market value per hectare was US$1,070, totaling US$100 million.
In addition, Sifang Group and Huang's Fund each hold 50% of the shares of Xihuang Industrial, while the latter holds 10% of the shares of Docas, a company mainly engaged in port construction and owns the world's largest coffee export port, Santos. The operating rights of the port, as well as dozens of other port interests of varying sizes, are worth more than US$150 million.
By superimposing the two, Huang Xuan had assets worth US$100 million in the blink of an eye. Not only that, these two properties were excellent benign assets and were the bridgehead for the Huang Group's overseas expansion. Transferring such an important asset to a The three generations of descendants who are not yet adults are the biggest factor in other people's fierce opposition.
To this end, Huang Jindi must have made great efforts. (To be continued)
