Understanding the weaknesses of the Amazonian business environment, characterized by poverty and lack of financial resources that could be used for the exploitation of its immense natural wealth, he studied and put in action a funding system that benefited the producer.
After analysing the situation of the local industries, he saw that it was not possible to increase the production of raw materials without a fuel supply, at an affordable price on the Amazon region.
Hence came the idea of building an oil refinery in Manaus which became Reman.

He was called by the Time Magazine and the Los Angeles Times as "The King of the Amazon".
