Ah? Chen Haoyi obviously didn't consider this issue. She was stunned for a moment, but she quickly realized that because I, like you, are both Chinese. Shouldn't my compatriots help each other?
Haha, this can also be considered a reason? Li Zaian couldn't help laughing out loud. He shook his head and said, "Okay, even if it's a reason, I'll help you. Let's talk, what do you need my help?"
Sir, Shi Pi was waiting a little impatiently. He didn't think Li Zaian should say more nonsense to this little girl. This is on the street, and it is a bustling financial street. It is very dangerous for them to stay on the street.
Ah, come on, find a place to sit down and say, Li Zai'an looked back at him, and understood his fear in his heart, so he pointed to the pasta restaurant opposite and said with a smile
There are also many Italian immigrants in Sao Paulo, so there are many such pure Italian noodle restaurants, and the consumption is not high, and of course, the grade is not high either.
Do you still remember the children's clothing I said before? The three of them found an empty table in the noodle restaurant and sat down. After asking for some food, Chen Haoyi couldn't wait to say
Of course I remember, isn't it where you work? What's wrong? Li Zaian pushed a slice of veal in front of her and signaled her to eat and say while she was eating.
The owner of the clothing store, Mr. Tong Nanyu, is a truly kind person. He usually takes good care of those of us who have just come to Sao Paulo. He works there, not only for food and accommodation, but also has a salary of 100,000 Cruzero every month. Chen Haoyi held his fists in front of his chest and said carefully, Mr. Tong is from Suzhou, mainland China, with more than a dozen...
Well, I got it, Li Zai'an interrupted her and said with a smile, Mr. Tong is a kind person, but you should say the key point, what is the trouble
Ah, that's right. Mr. Tong encountered some business troubles some time ago. In order to overcome the difficulties, he borrowed money from a loan shark. Chen Haoyi smiled embarrassedly and said, "I originally borrowed only $30,000, and it was 5% interest." Who knew that just one month later, when Mr. Tong went to pay off his debt, the loan shark said that the principal and interest were already 170,000, and Mr. Tong had to pay the amount. Otherwise, he would have to collect the store of Tongji Clothing Store.
Li Zaian turned his head to look at Shi Pi, but saw the latter shook his head
Tongji Clothing Store is on the territory of Morio's organization. The people who are lending usury there should be the people in the organization. 5 interest rates are indeed their fixed interest rate standard, but according to 5 interest rates, they can't get 170,000 yuan in a month.
Moran gave Shi Pi a wink, and Li Zaian signaled him to go out and call to verify. To be precise, this kind of thing is really within the scope of his inquiries. Ultimately, loan sharks cannot be uncontrollable high interest. This is one of Morio's sources of wealth. If you want to ensure that this source of wealth will not be exhausted and scare away potential customers of the organization, the collection of high interest cannot be too much.
Shi Pi understood what Li Zaian meant, took the brick-paper phone and left the store door, and made a phone call outside the store door.
The current middle-level leader in this area is Coronho. He can ask clearly what the situation is.
This kind of thing is very troublesome. He took a spoon and put a little of all kinds of ingredients in his noodles. Li Zaian said with a smile, Why didn’t that Mr. Tong call the police?
Having called the police, Chen Haoyi rubbed his hands uneasyly and whispered, "But the police can't control this kind of thing. And on the night when he called the police, a group of people went to the clothing store and smashed everything they could. Mr. Tong was also injured. Those experienced sisters said that it was useless to deal with people like them. The police in St. Paul are all decorations. Only by finding people who are more evil than them can they control them.
Oh, so, do you think I am the more evil person? Li Zaian rubbed his face with a wry smile and said
No, no, I think you are a good person, Chen Haoyi hurriedly explained, although the sisters in the clothing business said you are a wanted criminal, I believe that you should have your reasons for committing crimes, not, I, I can't say it well...
Then stop talking, eat, do the job after eating. Li Zaian didn't expect her to explain clearly, just smiled and said
Chen Haoyi opened her mouth again, as if she wanted to exhaust her brains to find an explanation that would make the other party feel more comfortable, but she finally gave up. In fact, in her concept, crime is a crime, where does it come from? What's more, in the mouths of those sisters, the person in front of her is not an ordinary criminal, but a gangster who can let the police circumvent.
However, they obviously don't understand the real situation, because Li Zai'an is not a gangster, but a drug dealer who is more troublesome than a gangster.
Shipi went out for a few minutes and turned back. He walked behind Li Zaian, leaned down and whispered: Coronio said he didn't know about this, but he would arrange for someone to investigate immediately.
Tell him not to check it anymore. Li Zaian was eating a mouthful of noodles. Hearing this, he looked at his watch and said vaguely, "Take someone to the Tongji Clothing Store in half an hour."
After hearing this, Chen Haoyi blinked curiously and asked: Who is Mr. Corlenho?
Well, he is also a good person, of course he is not as good as me. Li Zaian smiled
It won't take long to have a meal. However, when Chen Haoyi finished the meal, he insisted on paying the bill, as if he wanted to use this method to repay a favor.
According to domestic saying, Tongji Clothing Store is actually an individually operated clothing workshop, which adopts purely handmade cutting methods, and the style of clothing is closer to the Chinese tradition, so the sales targets are mostly Chinese in Brazil.
The clothing store is not very large, so it occupies three floors. The boss Tong Nanyu grew up in St. Paul when he was young. The family moved to St. Paul before the liberation of the mainland. At that time, Tong Nanyu was over teenage, so I remember it.
The first floor of the clothing store is a warehouse-like place, and it is also the doorstep for external business. The second and third floors are factories and dormitories for employees to live in. According to Chen Haoyi, after the probation period of Tongji, her salary was 120,000 Cruzero per month. To be honest, this salary is really not low in Sao Paulo. If converted into US dollars, it is even higher than Jenny's salary.
However, the workers hired by Tongji are all Chinese, at least obviously of Chinese ancestry. From this point of view, Tong Nanyu is a very traditional person. He rarely sees such people in the second generation of Chinese immigrants.
Tong Nanyu knew who Li Zaian was. His clothing store paid protection fees to the Morio organization every month. Of course, it was impossible not to know who the leader of the organization was. Before, he even told Chen Haoyi to keep a distance from Li Zaian. After all, people like him are very dangerous.
When Li Zaian and Shi Pi followed Chen Haoyi and appeared in front of the clothing store, Tong Nanyu was shocked. When he learned about the purpose of these two people, he didn't know what to say.
To be honest, although he hopes that someone can come forward to help him through this difficulty, he does not want the person who comes forward to help is Li Zaian, because he knows the methods of these people's actions, and Tong Nanyu is worried that someone will die.
In the front of the first floor, Li Zaian and Shi Pi were sitting next to an Eight Immortals table at the door. Tong Nanyu, with half a white hair, was busy making tea.
Just like Li Zaian's guess, Tong Nanyu is a very traditional second-generation Chinese. Not only does he have the habit of drinking tea, but the entire set of tea sets are authentic purple clay. The brewed tea is served, and the strong tea fragrance is intoxicating.
Biluochun from Sanwanchang? Good Tea. Li Zaian was not polite. He brought a teacup and put it in front of his nose to sniff it, and praised it.
They were brought by friends, Mr. Li liked it, and I will bring you a bag. Tong Nanyu is over 50 years old. Although he is very afraid of Li Zaian's identity, he cannot show it in person. That is purely because he can't get along with him.
Thank you, Li Zaian smiled and said, I remember the last time I drank 30,000 tea was seven or eight years ago, it was not Biluochun, but Wanchanglu. Now I smell the fragrance of tea again, and I feel very friendly.
That's it, that's it, the feelings of the hometown are inevitable. Tong Nanyu said with a smile.
Li Zaian took a sip of tea, turned his head to look at him, shook his head and said with a smile: Mr. Tong, don't worry, I won't cause trouble for you, Haoyi is my friend. Since he is helping his friends, of course he will not leave any troubles. You just need to tell what the name of the borrowed money is. I will deal with the rest.
Haha, this can also be considered a reason? Li Zaian couldn't help laughing out loud. He shook his head and said, "Okay, even if it's a reason, I'll help you. Let's talk, what do you need my help?"
