'Shanghai Daily' Hails Mario Garnero as Global Entrepreneur

SHANGHAI, Dec. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The cover story of Shanghai Daily's 'Vibe' section features Mario Garnero, founder and Chairman of Brasilinvest, Brazil's foremost merchant bank.

In an article titled 'What Makes Mario Run: Ethanol', the weekend edition of China's Premier English-Language devotes two full pages to tracing Garnero's successful business trajectory.

The piece, authored by reporter Lydia Chen, describes Garnero's ventures in biofuels, real estate and technology, as well as his role of negotiator and private diplomat. The article revisits Garnero's pioneering 1981 business mission to China and the new opportunities he is seeking in building enhanced cooperation between Brazil and China.

As the story ranges from one business venture to another, a philosophy of entrepreneurship and life emerge from Garnero's practice. "Enthusiasm drives me. As for financial success, when you create wealth, you can see people enjoy it and their faces show beauty. Beauty represents the wealth and money you make," the article reads.

Garnero also speaks of his lifetime achievements: "Nothing is impossible as long as you love what you are doing ... Passions changes whole horizons."
