Business
Hichens, Harrison & Co is considered a reference on commercial relations between markets and the governments of China and Brazil. The company's vast experience and large network not only in Brazil and China but in the United States, Africa, and Europe makes it the logical choice as a partner of Brazilian entrepreneurs that wish to attract investors from the second greatest global economy. It is worth mentioning, of course, that the last decades were truly marked by business growth between Brazil and China, but these achievements cannot be compared, nor level the possibilities that may be presented in the coming years.
