After knowing Li Zaian's true identity, he still wanted to take away a piece of land from him.
That's not all. The old guy actually wanted to ask Li Zaian to do him a favor. This opening remark that he said was really unique enough.
Lisette listened next to him, not even knowing if he should speak out and laugh at him
Haha, you have great courage. Li Zai'an leaned forward, and his eyes hidden behind his eyelids that had only left a gap were staring at Elkolai, who was sweating on his forehead. It took more than ten seconds before he sneered and said, but you have to know that courage is not the same as the sheltered halo given to you by God, and you will die.
Mr. Paul, I know that it is easier for you to kill someone like me than to kill an ant. Elkolai has a very willingness to go out and grit his teeth, but it is obvious that killing me will not be of any benefit to you.
But killing you will not do anything bad for me. Li Zaian smiled and said
No, Mr. Paul, if you can accept my request and give me a chance, I believe you will find that all the efforts today are worth it. Elkolai shook his head and said
Is that true? Let's hear it. Li Zaian said
Elkolai didn't speak directly, he turned his head to look at Licett and LeClose who were standing aside. It was clear that he was hard to say what these two people were there.
You go out first. Li Zaian waved his hand without hesitation and signaled that the two of them avoid it first.
Although hesitated a little, Lisette left the living room with LeClose one after another after a brief hesitation.
Now there are only two of us here, so what do you have to say directly? When the figures of the two disappeared into the door of the side hall, Li Zaian said expressionlessly.
Mr. Paul, please forgive me for my offense, but I have had my last resort. Elkolai did not go directly to the point, but explained his actions this time.
In fact, Elkole encountered a big trouble half a month ago. With his own abilities and social circles, there is no possibility of properly solving the problem.
Therefore, he repeatedly tried to establish contact with Li Zaian, hoping to follow the line of Li Zaian
Unfortunately, Elkole had no chance to meet Li Zai'an at all. He could not enter the Morio slum, nor could he find a middleman who could help him build a bridge.
The most unfortunate thing is that when he tried to contact Li Zai'an, Li Zai'an happened to be not in St. Paul, but in Colombia thousands of miles away.
Finally, Elkolai chose to take a dangerous move due to helplessness. He instigated thousands of members of the Calvera organization to seize this small manor in Li Zaian's town in Domondot, with the purpose of forcing him to come out and negotiate with him.
Li Zaian seemed very patient. After listening to Elkolai's detailed description of the causes and consequences, he also heard him talk about the troubles he encountered.
As one of the heads of the Landless Farmers' Movement in Sao Paulo, Elkolay was born in a family of bankrupt farmers. He studied at Somao Church School in his youth. After graduating from high school, he was admitted to the School of Political Science and Economics of the Federal University of Rio Grande Sul. He completed his bachelor's and master's degree study with a Catholic Church scholarship
After graduation, Elkolai quickly joined the Brazilian Democratic Labor Party at that time with his smart mind and political speculative vision, and even participated in the election of São Paulo City Councillors as a candidate for the Democratic Labor Party.
However, when he participated in the Sao Paulo city council election for the first time, he was suddenly exposed for accepting bribes. As a result, he not only lost the qualification of a city council candidate, but was also expelled from the Democratic Labor Party at that time, which was equivalent to completely ruining his political life.
For some time after that, Elcole remained completely silent until he reappeared as one of the leaders of the Landless Peasant Movement in Sao Paulo
What most people don't know is that Elkolai is not actually greedy. The reason why he was involved in the bribery scandal was entirely because of a little bit of gambling, and he has not quit this problem until now.
At the beginning, this gambling problem caused him to lose his great political future, and now, the big trouble he has been involved in is also due to this.
About half a year ago, Elkolay met a descendant of an Italian immigrant named Archid. After the other party introduced him, he became a regular at an underground casino in Embu City.
Embu is a satellite city in the Sao Paulo region. It is not very far from the city of Sao Paulo. In the first period, Elcole was not very bet very much. There were always wins and losses, and it was not too deep.
But one night two months ago, he participated in a stud gamble in that casino. In less than four hours, he not only lost all his possessions, but also owed nearly $400,000 in huge debts.
It was not until this time that Elcole knew that the Italian named Archid had been malicious since the day he came into contact with him. He was employed by a large plantation owner from Rio Grande, the purpose of which was to revenge Elcole and to ruin him.
I joined the Landless Peasant Movement in Rio Grande, and organized several large-scale land occupation movements, which also offended many people. There were countless people there who wanted me to die. Elkole stood in front of the sofa less than two meters away from Li Zaian and said, "I am also very clear that the conflicts between me and them have no chance to resolve them." You, Mr. Paul, you are different from them. I believe that you will need me, at least I can always do something for you."
Seeing that Li Zaan didn't speak, the expression on his face did not change, Elcole continued: I know that Mr. Paul has a wide range of friendships. For example, Mr. Bethelon, who is seeking re-election as a state legislator, has an extraordinary relationship with you. Now, there is less than a month left before the start of a new round of state legislator elections. I think if Mr. Paul hopes that Mr. Bethelon will get a chance to re-election, I can help.
Judging from the composition of the members, the various types of landless peasant movement organizations in Brazil have the biggest difference compared to those large and small slums.
That is, as a social and political movement organization, most members of the landless peasant movement organization are legal citizens with voting rights.
Take Morio slum for example. Most people in the slum are either illegal immigrants without legal status or so-called rogue citizens who have never paid a penny of taxes. Therefore, they have no right to vote or be elected.
Organizations such as Calvira, whose members are mostly urban proletarians who have lost their land or jobs in Sao Paulo. They have both legal life and tax records, so they all enjoy all rights stipulated by the Constitution.
It is precisely because of this that they are regarded as a social political force, and the votes in their hands are the most solid support for their voices.
Calvila has nearly 100,000 members of the organization, and the legal voting rights they hold will not be less than 40,000 even if they are conservatively estimated. Although these votes account for a pitifully small proportion within the entire state of São Paulo, under certain conditions, these votes may also play a key role.
For Li Zai'an, his growing ambitions have prompted him to extend his tentacles into politics. Although his cooperation with Bethelon has been around for some time, he does not seem to be able to provide support to Bethelon in other directions except for funds.
The inability to provide stronger support for Betheron means that he cannot impose stronger restrictions on him, and Li Zai'an is also looking for opportunities to break through this bottleneck.
Li Zaian has learned some knowledge about the landless peasant movement organization in the past. To be honest, if Elkolai can firmly grasp an organization like Calvila and stand firmly with him, let alone hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt and 20 hectares of land, even if the price increases ten times more, Li Zaian is willing to bear it.
But then again, Li Zaian would never expose his thoughts to Elkole. The reason for this is very simple
First, the two met for the first time, and mutual trust has not yet been established;
Second, Li Zaian still doesn’t know how strong control Elkolai has for organizations like Calvila;
Third, there are some problems, he also needs to discuss with Betheron and ask for his opinions.
Mr. Elkolai, I admit that your proposal is still tempting to me. I am not sure whether to accept Elkolai's proposal. Li Zai'an is not interested in continuing to talk to him in depth, but I have to consider the conditions you have put forward for a while.
Waving his hand to stop Elkole's plan to socket, Li Zaian continued: But before I make a formal decision, I will arrange someone to ensure your safety
As he said this, Li Zai'an snapped his fingers and greeted LeClose in
Sir, what are your instructions? LeClose soon appeared at the entrance of the living room. He stood in front of the steps and asked respectfully
Li Zaian did not answer him directly, but asked Elcole: Mr. Elcole, what is the name of the Italian who always harasses you? Where does he live?
Oh, Mr. Paul, the mean guy is Alchid Coty, but I suspect the name is not true. Elkolai rubbed his hands and said, he lives in a small hotel at 143 Rodifonso Street, Embu, Room 227
Li Zai'an nodded and said to LeClose: LeClose, arrange someone to visit Mr. Archid, tell him that I have a deal with Mr. Elkolai recently, and I don't want anyone to disturb him until then.
OK Mr. LeClose responded expressionlessly
That's not all. The old guy actually wanted to ask Li Zaian to do him a favor. This opening remark that he said was really unique enough.
Lisette listened next to him, not even knowing if he should speak out and laugh at him
