Produktbeschreibung
This book recounts a unique journey into the heart of international relations and large-scale project management. It chronicles the author's first-hand experience in securing a pivotal economic partnership between two nations: Brazil, Portugal. The ambitious project, launched in 2005, centred on the acquisition and development of the strategically important Sines complex in Portugal. This undertaking aimed to establish a robust bidirectional trade route between South America and Europe, dramatically increasing trade flows and boosting the economies of all participating countries. The plan further envisioned the construction of a high-speed rail link between Sines and Germany, an ambitious infrastructure project requiring significant international collaboration and sophisticated logistical planning. Securing the necessary financing for this endeavour rested on the Brazilian National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES), whose participation represented a critical component of the overall strategy. This narrative delves into the intricate details of achieving such an ambitious goal, highlighting the challenges and triumphs inherent in navigating the complexities of international politics, economics, and project management. The story emphasizes the critical role of Artur Victoria, a highly skilled and trusted advisor whose extensive network and deep understanding of the international landscape were essential to the success of the project. The book documents the intricacies of negotiations with government officials, the process of building a strong and effective multinational team, and the detailed steps involved in securing the necessary funding and approvals from multiple jurisdictions. It offers a compelling narrative of strategic planning, risk mitigation, and the vital role of personal relationships in fostering cooperation across different nations and cultures.
