So, first, congratulations.
Sensational work.
What an incredible thing that a guy like you is here tonight talking with us about proposals and projects and dreams in a country that is your enemy.
This country hates you, man.
You know, first of all.
This country hates you.
This country is your evil.
And what you do is insist on a place that is your enemy.
Let's start with the industry part.
- Neutral
About: implement a competitiveness agenda to add value to Brazilian production
The price to produce something in Brazil is higher because, one, labor costs for hiring someone and the legal risk to hire and fire someone are gigantic, right?
One.
Electricity, extremely expensive.
Three.
- Neutral
About: implement a competitiveness agenda to add value to Brazilian production
Transport, costs that fall on transportation, very expensive.
Four.
- Neutral
About: implement a competitiveness agenda to add value to Brazilian production
Money, whether venture capital or plain, simple money you get from a bank.
- Neutral
About: implement a competitiveness agenda to add value to Brazilian production
Rare, hard and expensive, hellishly expensive.
Five.
- Neutral
About: implement a competitiveness agenda to add value to Brazilian production
Labor to work with you, hard to find and hard to retain.
- Neutral
About: implement a competitiveness agenda to add value to Brazilian production
Six, the lack of any sectoral policy that could incentivize you to work.
- Neutral
About: implement a competitiveness agenda to add value to Brazilian production
So, I've raised a series of points here that are absolutely unbearable to work with and that make your cost much higher than bringing that already finished from China, right?
It's bizarre.
- Neutral
About: implement a competitiveness agenda to add value to Brazilian production
There's more, let's put it this way: if you need to buy special machinery, you're not incentivized to bring that machinery, you'll be taxed just to bring a machine that will increase your productivity.
- Neutral
About: change tax legislation
All the microeconomic legislation, both related to how you'll be able to pay your taxes and how you'll be able to collect, you'll have to spend a ton on an accountant, a ton on a lawyer because of the legal cost that involves all economic activity.
- Neutral
About: facilitate access to credit and open the financial system to companies
And at the end of the day you'll still have a closed financial system, in which it's hard to work credit, hard to obtain credit.
Therefore, it's crazy to try to do a cutting-edge economic activity in a country like Brazil.
But it shouldn't be.
- For
About: implement a competitiveness agenda to add value to Brazilian production
Our government will literally address all those issues.
- For
About: implement a competitiveness agenda to add value to Brazilian production
Absolutely all those topics.
I say this not because, as a political leader, it's my role.
But because, in a much more humble way, I don't have a tenth of your brilliance.
I also tried to be an entrepreneur in Brazil and I went through all those setbacks.
I was a supplier of automotive systems through my father.
I was a supplier for infrastructure battery works in the area of doors and windows in Brazil.
And all those problems ended up occurring.
And they make everything much more expensive, everything slow and very risky.
It's very difficult to work in a country like that.
And if we don't change this dynamic, it'll be more worthwhile for you to realize your dream with the ideas you created in another country.
Because at some point you'll get tired and you'll give up.
And your giving up isn't wrong, because you can't waste the talent that was given to you by your parents, by God, call it what you want.
