A convoy of six or seven cars is slowly driving on the streets covered by night
With the arrival of a new round of inflationary pressure, the night view of Sao Paulo, Brazil's largest economic city, has also become much more depressed.
Countless people who originally belonged to the middle class have shrunk on a large scale in the past month, and some have even reached the verge of bankruptcy.
There is no music playing on the radio of Land Rover Discovery, and there is a fierce debate playing
The debate is whether the Brasilian government should continue to implement the previously formulated privatization policy and the feasibility of establishing a national stability fund in the current Great Recession.
Whether it is the privatization policy or the establishment of a national stability fund, they are two things that are generally controversial in Brazil's domestic politics.
Needless to say, the privatization policy is not much. According to this policy, most of the large and medium-sized enterprises in Brazil currently owned by state will be auctioned, and the government will use the funds obtained from the auction to repay foreign debts and rebuild the national credit system.
As for the idea of establishing a national stability fund, it was proposed by the party opposing the privatization policy.
According to this policy, 30% of the profits of large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises will be compulsoryly confiscated by the state and included in the treasury to establish a national stability fund.
On the one hand, this policy can increase national fiscal revenue, and on the other hand, it can force these large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises to reduce their excessive wages and benefits, thereby reducing inflation pressure in both public expenses and employee income of state-owned enterprises.
The debate was made by two senators from the Democratic Movement, while the other was two senators from the Labor Party.
Senators of the Democratic Movement believe that in the current situation where Brazil's economy has been sluggish for ten years, vigorously promoting privatization is an imperative way to reverse the economic downturn, and establishing the so-called national stability fund is a state capitalist behavior that runs contrary to this policy.
The two senators from the Labor Party believe that the indiscriminate privatization policy is equivalent to selling the country
The income from auctioning state-owned enterprises may be able to reverse the difficulties faced by the state's finances for a period of time and alleviate the danger of government bankruptcy, but from a long-term perspective, this is an act of drinking poison to quench thirst.
Once one day in the future, all state-owned enterprises are auctioned off, what should the government do?
Although the initiative to establish a national stability fund is a national capitalist operation, what Brazil needs at present is change and a benign measure to reverse the crisis. As for whether this initiative is of socialist nature or capitalist nature, it seems not that important.
Most importantly, in the face of the increasingly harsh international financial environment, many countries are currently seeking ways to establish national stability funds, including free market countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States.
In addition, two Labor Party senators mentioned the current situation of Brazil's state-owned enterprises. Once those state-owned enterprises face financial difficulties, the first thing they think about is not how to improve their business strategies, but how to apply for loans from the state.
Those good state-owned enterprises think first of all, not to pay profits to the government, but how to continue to increase the wages of employees of the already high enterprise as domestic inflation pressure continues to rise, thereby adding fuel to the domestic inflation pressure.
Sitting in the back seat of the car, Li Zaian listened calmly. In fact, in his opinion, it was not so easy to implement the reform plan of the Democratic Movement Party or the reform plan of the Labor Party. The layers of resistance come from all sides.
Perhaps everyone knows that this country has reached the point where it cannot be reformed, but there are not many people who really hope for change.
Brazil has been independent for hundreds of years, especially after ten years of economic growth in the 1960s and 1970s, all interest classes have already taken shape.
Take the part of state-owned enterprises as an example. Those who are in charge of state-owned enterprises and groups that have gained huge benefits from the current system are all obstacles to reform.
They neither want to implement a privatization plan nor the Labor Party’s plan to establish a national stability fund proposed by the
Brazil is a democratic country that pursues an American-style democratic regime. The implementation of such reform plans must first be recognized by the Senate and the House of Representatives. All kinds of interest groups have their own interests endorsements in both houses. Any proposal that infringes on their interests is not so easy to pass.
To give an interesting example: if a democratic group consisting of one hundred people, if the implementation of a plan will cause a loss of one dollar to ninety-nine people, but can bring two hundred dollars to the entire group, then this plan is obviously beneficial to the group, because the benefits brought by its implementation are much greater than the losses.
But the problem is that, in a democratic way, this plan is destined to fail because it will be opposed by ninety-nine people in the group.
This interesting phenomenon is the so-called voting paradox in public decision-making
The voting paradox brings huge consumption of waste and disputes under the Western democratic system, and it is also the most fundamental reason for the economic recession and even civil war turmoil in emerging countries that blindly emulate American democracy.
If it continues to develop according to the history known to Li Zai'an in his previous life, Brazil will struggle hard in elimination and inflation for nearly a decade. It was not until the leader of the Labor Party, Lula, who followed the left-wing line, came to power, that the situation began to improve.
If Li Zaian chooses, he would rather hope that the military government can regain power in Brazil, because only such a forced dictatorial government can reverse the economic downturn in the short term
There were not many pedestrians on the dim night streets, everything seemed very quiet. On the radio broadcast, the four MPs who were quarreling with red eyes had completely lost their grace and began to use extreme words to attack their opponents.
Such quarrels can often be seen on TV and radio during this period, and it can be said that they are not new at all.
Through support for Betheron, Li Zai'an has now inserted half his foot into politics, but the problem of developing strategic national policies is still a bit far from him, and he can be indifferent to such quarrels.
Tonight, Li Zaian came out late at night to go to the appointment, and was a multi-party peace talks held in Evora
The location of this negotiation was chosen in a manor in St. Noggs Town. According to the other party, Li Zaian could lead the bodyguards to the meeting, and the number of people was determined by himself.
In order to show his sincerity, Li Zaian only planned to bring LeClose and Lovera into the manor, and the other bodyguards were led by Shipie to guard the gate of the manor.
But behind this illusion are two special operations teams lurking in the dark for protection, and they are ready to attack the manor at any time.
The operation commanders of these two special operations teams are a Korean named Choi Shengzhu
He once served in the reconnaissance company directly under the 132nd Division of the 43rd Army of the Chinese Army, participated in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, and also won the third-class individual merit. He is an old soldier with extremely rich practical experience.
Cui Shengzhu made a detailed combat plan in advance, from the time of the operation, from which direction to break into, how to sweep away the periphery sentries, etc.
These detailed issues were carefully investigated in advance in order to ensure Li Zaian's personal safety to the greatest extent
Even after such careful preparation measures, Lei Zi was still not relieved. He insisted on coming here in person tonight.
In his words, the action tonight is very dangerous, because Li Zai'an is facing a group of real dangerous elements, a group of murderous machines that will become excited when they smell the smell of blood.
The town of Saint Nouges is an inconspicuous town in the southwest of Saint Paul. It is less than 20 kilometers away from the downtown area of Saint Paul, similar to Domondot. This town is also a manor town with coffee plantations, so the population in the town is not very large. Compared with the hustle and bustle of the city, it seems a bit depressed.
Evora has a manor in San Noggs town, a leisure villa hidden in a coffee field. The entire building is in an ancient Roman style, which looks antique but does not look luxurious.
However, for safety reasons, the periphery of the manor, that is, on the inside of the field where the coffee planting field, pulled a circle of nearly two meters high barbed wire isolation walls, and protected them in groups of three or five with live ammunition. Each team led two tall and strong Brazilian mastiffs and inspected the barbed wire isolation wall continuously. Only from such strict guards can we see how arrogant Evora is.
Li Zaian's convoy drove in from the entrance of the manor, walked through the gravel road hidden by palm trees, and drove straight to the front of the villa. As soon as the car stopped, a young girl in a black waiter rushed over and opened the car door for him.
Less than 20 meters away from the parking space, there is an open-air pergola. The milky white shed poles stand on the flat lawn one by one. On both sides of the long table covered with white tablecloth in the pergola, there are several people sitting sparsely.
Li Zaian took a breath, got out of the car, squinted his eyes and glanced at the people at the dining table, and suddenly found that except for Evora, the leaders of several other drug trafficking organizations in St. Paul had arrived, and there was a guy he had never expected to appear at the party.
Seeing Li Zai'an appear outside the car, Evora changed into a very sincere smile and quickly met the awning. He was a few steps away from Li Zai'an. He stretched out his hands and laughed loudly: Hey, Paul, we finally meet again. Are you doing well during this period?
OK, very good, Li Zai'an laughed and shook hands with him carelessly, but his eyes were always staring at the person who appeared unexpectedly, and asked, "Why is Mr. Lisette here too? Are you interested in participating in drug trafficking now?"
Yes, the person who shouldn't have appeared here is Lisette
