Chapter 439 – South America
Brazil.
It is always ranked as one of the most valuable emerging economies.
‘For decades.’
Enormous land and population, resources, geographical location and so on.
The potential for development seems high.
Just look at the globe.
In reality, they are nothing more than bright apricots.
“There is no city but here?”
“Okay.”
“Why? I don’t know, but I remember the land as being very big…”
Sora’s words are not wrong.
Brazil is the 5th largest country in the world.
‘The land is so wide.’
Can’t you develop it?
It is very natural to feel that way.
Even in the United States, the present United States was able to exist because there was westward pioneering.
Do it the same way
“You said. I thought there were only jungles like the Amazon.”
“No, because there is such a thing as an image.”
“It’s really just a jungle.”
“?!”
It can’t be done.
Nature also needs to be in moderation to develop.
‘How do you develop Amazon?’
It is impossible unless Amazon, an American conglomerate, proceeds in collaboration.
It’s so barren
Anaconda slithers around.
If you go to the riverside, piranhas are infested.
“How can I not develop it?”
“It can’t be done in any way. If you try to use any way, international organizations will try to block it.”
“Ah…”
Lungs of the earth.
The importance of the Amazon jungle is a fact learned even in elementary school.
‘That’s why there are things I can’t develop.’
As much as that, there are also things that are eaten in the name of subsidies.
It is always a hot topic in Brazil.
Should I develop it?
Can we protect the environment?
Neither is an easy choice.
Booooong!
Really wide.
It is a long distance that takes a whole day even if you are going by car.
Overnight at a hotel
The next destination is Iguazu Falls.
“I’ve heard of it! They say it’s the biggest waterfall in the world.”
“Yes.”
Originally, Niagara and Victoria Falls were famous.
At some point, the textbook was rewritten.
‘To that extent.’
A global tourism resource.
Such things are politically and economically intertwined and do not change easily.
Even if it is recognized in the academic world, it takes time to apply it in practice.
Enough to turn the tide in an instant.
Kwakwagwagwang—!
It boasts a supernatural impact.
Water is pouring like crazy from a waterfall bent in an L shape.
“Bravo!”
“Wonderful~!”
“Yabaiyo gore. Yabaidesne!”
“What are you talking about, you bastard?”
Take a look at the rare scenery from the observatory.
Even though it is far away, the majesty is felt intact.
The reaction of tourists is hot.
Americans, Koreans, and Japanese alike are amazed.
“I never knew there was so much water in the world.”
“I also knew you for the first time.”
“Ah-oh.”
Iguazu Falls.
It is called ‘big water’ in the Aboriginal language.
You can see the reason for the naming at a glance.
‘Nature is enough to conquer the mountain behind the neighborhood, but it’s more than enough.’
South America’s scale is different.
Waterfall pours from a 2700m wide cliff.
You realize what the greatness of nature is.
It makes humans infinitely shabby.
“How are you going to develop this?”
“Wow…, Crazy. Just like you.”
The water splashes tremendously.
As a result, you can see a rainbow 365 days a year.
‘It can’t be affected.’
Changes brought about by nature.
Brazil would be a good country to live in if there were only pretty things like this.
Of course not.
Because there is too much water, the soil quality around it is always moist.
During the rainy season, the river overflows.
It is uncontrollable as it expands to 5 to 10 times that of the dry season.
“To develop a place like this, extensive civil engineering work is required. Dozens of historic-scale dams must be built, and dozens of forests the size of the Korean Peninsula must be pushed. What will the funds be like and what will the international opposition be like?”
“Sounds normal.”
An environment in which humans cannot survive.
Brazil’s land is mostly apricot with good light.
‘It’s not nature, it’s hell.’
Korea has good nature.
Even if you build a rough hut and be a natural person, you can live without problems.
Brazil cannot do that.
Fun events await 365 days a year
Shoot aaaaa!
Kwakwagwagwang—!
You can die from being crushed by nature.
Faced with a sight that makes you have no choice but to think like that.
“This is where the most water pours out of Iguazu Falls! It’s called the Devil’s Throat because it seems like the soul is being sucked in.”
“”Oh oh!””
It’s just that group travelers are excited.
Just looking at it from afar makes me dizzy.
If you are a normal person, you will admire it purely.
Investors should think differently.
“There are not many cities in Brazil, but they are concentrated along the coast.”
“Okay.”
Sora also noticed.
Brazil has most of its population concentrated on just 5% of its land.
What it means
Even Koreans would agree about half of it.
‘I can’t know everything.’
Korea is a politically stable country.
Democracy is functioning normally.
“Is this normal?”
“It’s normal.”
“I don’t know about that…”
“Compared to an abnormal country.”
At best, to the extent that house prices rise and traffic is blocked.
It does not interfere with eating and living.
‘But what if it gets in the way?’
I can’t run anywhere
The interior of the country is nothing but uninhabitable remote areas.
In other words, whether you like it or not, you have to live on the coast.
Just as the people in power want.
“Would you want development from the position of those in power?”
“Ah.”
‘Okay.”
A chronic problem in emerging countries, including Brazil.
It is political instability.
‘Because it’s such a country, of course there is no technological development.’
It’s like a modern version of the identity system.
It is no exaggeration to say that the ladder has been completely removed.
It is a pity for Brazilian citizens.
Ironically, there are countries where it helps.
Booooong!
The Iguazu Falls are also on the border between Brazil and Argentina.
Cross by car
“We had a lot of fun, but the driver is bored. What should I do?”
“$#^#@%$#$^$!”
“So many people say it’s okay.”
Limousine taxi.
It is so spacious that it is the size of a small room.
Sora asks while wiping her wet body.
‘It’s one of the courses that rich people who come to South America must visit.’
It is said that it is the largest waterfall in the world, but if you do not come, it will be a pity.
It’s not like I’ve been guided once or twice.
Kiss!
There are plenty of services for them.
The bodyguard takes out the wine from the wine cellar in the car.
“Wow what is this? Champagne?”
“$%@%@^@!”
“They say it’s wine. So it’s not champagne, it’s just sparkling wine.”
Champagne is a sparkling wine made in the Champagne region of France.
Of course, it is also made in other regions.
Clumsy~!
There is a difference in quality.
It’s cheap, so it’s a good liquor to quench your thirst lightly.
“Is it still delicious?”
“It must have been something sweet because it was for hydration.”
“Is there anything sweet?”
Most of the sparkling wines you encounter are dry.
This is because it is used for aperitifs or food.
There are cases where sugar levels are left behind.
It is classified according to the degree of sweetness, and this is assumed to be Demisek.
When you give a thumbs up, give the same thumbs up.
I think business will go well if you have a sense of hospitality.
“People can’t live here… But there’s such a luxurious car.”
“I told you. The gap between rich and poor.”
People who live well live well from generation to generation.
I have no choice but to live well because I suck on people who can’t afford to live.
‘It’s not an investment with that money, it’s a luxury.’
Business for the top 1%.
Even if the country tilts, the money to spend on luxury does not dry up.
Being a developing country, there are many things that can be done.
You might want to know a little bit about it.
* * *
Break up with the limousine taxi for a while.
This is because the destination, Mendoza, is too far away.
“We’ll go by plane first.”
“Are they coming by car?”
“You can’t leave your car behind.”
There is nothing to see in the middle.
If there is anything to see, it is the vast forest and agricultural area.
View under the airplane window.
An enormous field is formed around a single river.
“Isn’t that a field? That?!”
“Because Argentina is a representative agricultural country.”
“Let’s say it’s a complete jungle…”
“That’s Brazil.”
Latitude is different.
Argentina is also a jungle on the top, but the bottom is a good area for people to live.
‘Because it’s so wide.’
It’s not as big as the palm of your hand like Korea.
Even within the same country, the climate is vastly different.
The same goes for Mendoza, where I am going now.
It is located in the alpine region that crosses the Andes Mountains.
“It would have taken all day if I had really come by car.”
“If we stayed overnight, it would have taken two days.”
“Really?!”
From the point of view of Koreans, it does not make sense.
Even if you know it intellectually, it doesn’t make sense.
Why is it important to go on a field trip?
There was no way I could have visited South America with just that alone.
With my daughter~♪
We decided to have a meal while waiting for the limousine.
There is a restaurant that I just remember.
“Have you been here?”
“Why?”
“I want you to come in so confidently.”
Argentina’s population is also deformed.
They live in a few areas that are good for people to live in.
‘In this mountain village on the other side.’
It is a miracle that the city exists.
Restaurant?
Your favorite restaurant?
It is impossible to wish for such a thing.
“Did you come to eat, sir?”
The waiter approaches with a mocking smile.
Sora didn’t notice the discomfort.
‘Because I don’t usually notice.’
If you live in Korea, where security is very developed, it can happen.
It is to lose your cowardice.
Degree of risk.
I know enough.
That’s why I’m in a position to experience many things that can be done.
“Give me a meal and a Coke for two.”
“Ha… I can give you anything you want.”
“And pass this to the boss.”
“?!”
Expand your business a bit.
