Better watch out Rolls Royce, given that usually in these backward countries it is genera lrule, that contracts are usually FIXED by an insider who takes a cut. After about 10 years or so someone whistleblows and the conpany then has to pay afine. Is it worth it? You only have to look at India sueing Rolls at the moment. Backhanders should not be given.

I prefer a German investment company. They are more efficient and have superior products.

A smart person would want investment from Germany AND Britain. Both richer, more inventive and more industrialised than Brazil.

Maybe you should tell that Petrobras or maybe to Embraer who only fit US (PW GE) and UK (RR) engines to their planes.

Why don't they fit more efficient, superior German engines?
