The cafe suddenly fell into a dead silence, and Casinos could even hear his heavy breathing.
This dead silence lasted for nearly two minutes. Just when Cassinos was about to be unable to hold on, Li Zaian spoke. He turned around and said with a smile on his face: Have you read the news recently?
Oh? Casinos didn't know why he suddenly asked this question, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused for a moment
Our President has received a $14 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund. When he was in Washington, he also met with Panamanian President Endala. Li Zai'an played with the coffee cup in his hand and said slowly, "I think this should indicate that Brasilia will resume diplomatic relations with Panama in the near future."
Casinos licked his lips, but he didn't say anything
Although he was just a warden, Casinos was not ignorant of international current affairs.
Brazil and Panama broke off diplomatic relations a year ago because Americans invaded Panama and supported the current Endala government to take office.
This incident aroused the vigilance of Latin American countries. As a means of fighting the United States, even all Latin American countries, including Brazil, unanimously disagree with the legitimacy of the Panama Endala government.
If I guess, then our country will become the first in South America to recognize the legitimacy of the Panama Endala government. Li Zai'an continued according to his own ideas. The war a year ago and the riots that followed caused great losses to Panama. What is urgently needed now is large-scale post-war reconstruction. I think Brasilia chose to restore diplomatic relations with Panama at this time, probably also focused on their reconstruction order.
Casinos finally found some way. He habitually reached out and scratched his crotch and asked carefully: What do you mean?
Let's assume that if Brasilia could get a large order of building materials that was attractive enough, who would you say the politicians who would choose to send this fat to? Li Zaian smiled and asked without answering the question
Okentala? Casinos tentatively said a name
Okentala is a major state-owned building materials manufacturer in Brazil, mainly engaged in stone. It owns a large number of marble and granite mines in Santa Cataline and Parana.
There is this possibility. Li Zaian glanced at him and looked at the old man's financial mind. He smiled and said, but I am more optimistic about Brassef.
Casinos's face turned slightly red. He just thought that although Okentala is the largest state-owned building materials manufacturer, the company group is not listed. In other words, even if he makes 100 billion, he will not even be able to drink half a sip of foot washing water.
However, this kind of blushing happened in an instant. He quickly followed Li Zaian's thoughts and frowned and said: No, Brassev's market has not been optimistic in the past two years, and there is news that it seems to be auctioned off soon.
That's right, it is precisely because of this that Brassev could get this big order. Li Zaian glanced at him and said, "Using this big order, we should change Brassev's lifeless situation, release good news, and drive its market to rise. At least it can help Brasilia raise the bid price in this auction. I think this is tempting for many people.
Casinos frowned and thought for a while, thinking that Li Zaian's words made sense, but he also understood that there must be certain risks in it. However, thinking about the past, this young man's judgment has never been wrong. It is precisely because of this that he, the warden of the Karandiru Prison, can make so much money in the stock market.
Of course, if the warden wants to make more money, he can also choose appropriate investment futures. Bulk coffee is a good choice. You can choose to buy a certain July C-type coffee bean contract. I believe you will have a good return at that time. Li Zai'an picked up the coffee in front of him and made a request gesture to Cassinos.
The suggestion given by Li Zaian is very pertinent. Facts known in his previous life tell him that the international coffee futures market in 1991 was quite hot.
There are many reasons for this, such as nearly 90% of Jamaican coffee exports were bid for by Japan, the political situation in Indonesia, the major coffee producer, and the continued drought in Brazil from February to June that year, resulting in large-scale production of coffee beans, etc. These reasons led to the price of C-type coffee in international coffee futures in 1991 soaring to a high price of US$15 per pound in a few months.
However, Li Zaian could only give advice on the information of obtaining and rebirth of the Golden Key, but could not tell the reason. He could not tell Casinos that he was a rebirth, right?
Casinos has always been cautious in investing in things like this. He rarely touches futures with greater risks. Therefore, among the two suggestions given by Li Zai'an, he has secretly chosen the first one.
Why tell me this? The temptation of money is irresistible, especially for people like Cassinos who have tasted the sweetness. He picked up the rum in front of him, took a symbolic sip, and then asked in a low voice
Haha, I know that with the warden's meager pension, even if you can survive until retirement safely, you may not be able to live a decent life. Li Zaian smiled and said, "So I plan to help you. Can this be considered the reason?"
Of course, Casinos would not believe his nonsense, so he just stared at him and kept silent.
Of course, if the warden doesn't mind, I hope you can help me with some small favors. Li Zaian laughed dryly and continued
Paul, I don't want to cause trouble, you know this. Casinos snorted, it was a bit ugly.
I don’t want to cause trouble, nor do I want to cause trouble for you. Li Zaian nodded and said, I hope what you do is very simple, I hope you can help me bring some things to Carandiru
What? Casinos asked coldly with a stern face
Nothing, it's just some... Li Zaian shrugged, made a random gesture, and said, "Some cigarettes, beer... Haha, of course, there are some magazines that can be used to pass the lonely time."
That's all? Casinos looked at him in shock. For him, it would be no big deal if he just made some such things into Carandiru
Not to mention that something like this is unlikely to spread, he is not afraid even if it is spread. After all, improving the life of prisoners is one of the duties of the warden.
All of this, Li Zaian supported his elbows on the table and said innocently, "You know, I am a nostalgic person. I was taken care of by many friends in Calandiru. Now that I have this ability, I certainly have to find a way to report it so that their life in prison is more nourishing."
I need to arrange someone to check what you sent, thoroughly check it out, Cassinos still doesn't believe it is such a simple thing, he said tentatively
Yes, Li Zaian replied very happily, and almost didn't even have basic consideration time. If you find any contraband in it, you can confiscate everything.
Casinos pondered for a moment, leaned over and whispered: Nor can drugs work
Li Zaian looked at him for a few seconds, nodding slightly with a smile
When are you going to send it? Kassinov breathed a sigh of relief. He saw that Li Zaian didn't seem to be planning to make a fool of himself.
If it is convenient, I want to send it to you tomorrow night, and Li Zaian lowered his voice
At one o'clock in the morning, Kassinov was very happy. He just lowered his head and thought about it and gave the time. The back door, I will arrange it for you then.
Thank you, Mr. Warden, don't worry, I won't let you help for nothing. Li Zaian reached over and said with a smile
Kassinov looked at his hand that reached in front of him, he hesitated for a moment, and finally reached over and grabbed it.
Shipi, sent Mr. Casinos out, held Casinos' hand and shook it hard. Li Zai'an stood up and said
Shipi, who was sitting not far away, stood up and made a request gesture to Kasinov from afar.
For Casinos, he wanted to leave this damn place early. Everyone here, including Li Zai'an, is a dangerous person.
However, when he was about to reach the door, he couldn't help but stop and turned around and asked Li Zaian: That, if I bought Brassev's stock, when would it be better to leave it?
Li Zai'an looked at him with his back, smiled with a pursed lips, and said: You can wait until April. Of course, if you don't mind taking some risks, you can hold it until the end of next year, that is, after Brassev's official bidding and auction, if the winning bid is B&B, then you can consider holding it for a long time.
In Li Zai'an's memory in his previous life, Brassev was acquired by the American building materials giant B&B. In fact, in this year, there was no rival in Brazil that could compete fairly with multinational groups like B&B. However, before the 1994 Privacy Act was issued, this privatization bidding process was not discriminatory. Domestic and foreign capital enjoyed the same treatment
After hearing Li Zaian's words, Casinos nodded, no longer had any nostalgia for this damn cafe, and hurried out.
Watching Casinos' figure disappear from the parking lot, Li Zai'an sat back on the chair and leisurely lit a cigarette for himself - people's greed for money is always endless, there is a ten thousand asking for 20,000, and a ten million looking forward to 100 billion. Everyone has it.
Li Zaian believes that as long as people like Casinos continue to taste the sweetness, he will sink deeper and deeper in a mud pit. Now, this old man is thinking about how to get more money without causing trouble. Once his appetite is expanded, he will think about getting more money when causing trouble in the future, and even thinking about making more money.
This dead silence lasted for nearly two minutes. Just when Cassinos was about to be unable to hold on, Li Zaian spoke. He turned around and said with a smile on his face: Have you read the news recently?
Oh? Casinos didn't know why he suddenly asked this question, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused for a moment
