They agreed on cooperation with Fernando, which made Li Sheng feel better. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info if he cooperates according to this, he will have more initiative in the face of Fernando in the future. However, he is not a man of control, and he did not want to completely dominate the cooperative company, so he proposed not to participate in the management of the project.

To put it bluntly, he just hopes that Silent Farm can remain "independent", and at the same time, the project can also give the farm a sales channel for cattle and pasture.

However, it will take some time for this project to really start operating, and there are still many things to prepare.

For example, in the harvesting of pasture, he first has to limit the movement of the cattle to a certain area. Second, he needed to buy more and more efficient forage harvesting machinery. Finally, he also needed to build a large amount of dry forage storage space.

Before, he was just thinking about making a small fuss and built some warehouses. The warehouses that have already been built are simply not sufficient for the forage yield envisaged in this cooperation. And these preparations are all the requirements of Silent Farm itself, which needs to be considered and invested by him. And this time he doesn't plan to rely on Fernando to help solve it.

Of course, those things are not in a hurry. There's also a whole rainy season. At this point, he didn't need to think too deeply. He took Tia out this time, and he couldn't let her go out for a wedding and go back. He can hope that she will always be innocent, but he cannot let her be ignorant of the world. Especially, after his feelings for the girl changed.

It is natural for a man to protect a woman, but he is not arrogant enough to protect her every second. Besides, even if they could, it might not be what they wanted. Therefore, it is what he must do to protect Tia into modern society.

Last time, he took her to a high-end shopping mall and got a taste of some rich people's lives. And this time, he led her to the slums of São Paulo.

The slums of São Paulo were famous. For example, during the World Cup in Brazil, there seems to have been some positive news. The Brazilian government has long since formally recognized the legal existence of slums and incorporated them into urban planning. But life for people in the slums remains difficult.

People in the slums are not beggars, they are just living in difficulty. Many of them do not have a regular job, or have a regular job, but the income is so low that they can barely survive, or even not survive at all.

Slums are dangerous for many people. Not to mention outsiders, but also to those inside.

It seems that there was a movie called "City of Angels" more than ten years ago, which alluded to the slums of Rio. The slums of São Paulo and the slums of Rio de Janeiro are not too different from each other in the same country. The slum kids in the movie, before they become stars and stars, their first goal is to survive. The reality may not be so cruel, but poverty and crime are indeed the biggest problems here.

It would be daytime, and Li Sheng would just walk around the periphery with Tia. At this time, there were no illegal transactions in the dark night, and the slums even seemed quite peaceful.

They wandered around the cobweb-like alley for more than an hour, and suddenly a small clearing appeared with a group of children playing football. Children of great height and size are playing football, but more often they are sitting around the open space and watching.

Dirty children also saw them. The children are curious about these two people, who clearly do not belong to the same world.

Brazilians are cheerful and outgoing, even with children. Although they only watched from afar, they did not show any uneasiness or shyness about their presence.

Some of them are even more like they don't exist, still chasing back and forth barefoot with the ball whose skin has long been completely peeled off.

Tia took Li Sheng's hand and didn't let go. She was no stranger to such scenes, and she used to play with other children like this when she was in the tribe. It's just that she's a little scared of the oppressive feeling that comes with the dense alleys here.

Two days ago, she had always thought that São Paulo was the most beautiful city in the world, but she did not expect that there was such a poor place here.

She saw that some of the children, many of whom did not have shoes to wear, and even if they did, they were dirty, and although the clothes were not dirty, they were obviously very old. She could see that the dirt on these children was not because they were dirty in the first place, but because they were soiled after playing.

Li Sheng whispered to her: "This is a slum. Most people just have enough to fill their stomachs. There are even some who go hungry on a regular basis. Some people do everything to fill their stomachs. [Selling] drugs, robbing, stealing, and even betraying yourself. ”

"But it's so good outside!" Tia couldn't figure out why a pair of shoes outside could buy tens of thousands of reais in the same city. Most of the children here don't even have a few reais shoes to wear.

However, she saw the innocent smiling faces of the children, as if the fingers they were holding were the sweetest candy.

Maybe they've been standing outside this "pitch" for too long. A teenage boy walked over with a girl of two or three years old. Judging by their skin color, they should be mixed races with multiple bloodlines. The boy was a little thin, wearing a pair of cropped pants that could no longer be seen in their original color, and his bare feet were covered with mud. The little girl had a pair of sandals on her feet, but the original white leatherette had turned black, and only a little white could be seen in the dirt. On her pouty little face, a pair of big eyes looked at Tia curiously and enviously.

Li Sheng said to the boy who walked up to him, "Hello. ”

The boy probably didn't expect Li Sheng, a rich man, to take the initiative to greet him, and his originally calm expression showed a hint of confusion: "Hello." Excuse me, sir, are you a scout?"

Li Sheng was stunned. But he immediately understood why he had misunderstood. He and Tia had been here watching these kids for too long, and they were playing football.

He shook his head and said, "I'm not." ”

The boy seemed a little disappointed, but he asked, "That gentleman is here to find someone, it's hard to find a way here, but I know all the people here, and I can show you the way." ”

Li Sheng smiled and said, "I'm not looking for anyone either." "This kid wants to do business, but Li Sheng doesn't have a business for him to do.

The boy was disappointed and was about to leave, but he found his sister walking up to the girl in the beautiful dress with her fingers in her mouth and reaching out to touch the dress. He hurriedly said, "Vivien, don't. "It's a pity he stopped it too late. The child's reaction was already slow, and before he finished speaking, the little girl's fingers had already grabbed Tia's skirt.

The boy's face turned pale, and although he was not very old, he had been to the city. Knowing that this beautiful dress is not something he can afford. He pulled his sister away and hurriedly apologized to Tia: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Wei Wei An is ignorant and stains your clothes. ”

Tia glanced at the faint little finger print on the hem of her skirt. She looked at Li Sheng and found that Li Sheng was smiling and did not speak. Knowing that Li Sheng was not angry, she didn't have to care: "It's okay, it's not dirty." Just go back and wash it. ”

The boy didn't seem to expect this beautiful girl to be so talkative, and stared at Tia's face a little stunned. Maybe he found that Tia was really beautiful, and he was reluctant to look away.

Tia smiled at her, squatted down, and said to the little girl who had just been roughly pulled away by her brother, "Your name is Vivian?"

Vivien blinked and put her fingers to her mouth and nodded.

Li Sheng noticed that the other children seemed to be noticing this, and wanted to leave with Tia, but found that she was talking to the little girl, so he had to say to the boy, "What's your name? You're a good kicker?"

"My name is Bart Almeia and I'm the best player in the neighborhood. Perhaps the most confident aspect of the boy, he puffed up his chest.

Li Sheng knows that Brazil is actually a very young country. It can even be said that the history of the founding of Brazil is actually more than 100 years shorter than that of the United States. Compared to the United States, Brazil is a true melting pot of nationalities. In this country, choosing a name is actually a very casual thing. They can take Greek names, they can take English names. Even when you like something, it happens that you add a string of words to your 100-word full name.

Li Sheng smiled, it is a good thing that the child is more confident. But he cared more about Tia and the little girl.

"Can Vivien tell my sister what she had for breakfast today?" Tia saw that the little girl's face was also meaty, and knew that the child was at least well fed. Reaching out and holding her in his arms, he asked with a smile.

Vivian was not afraid to be held, thought for a while, and said in a glutinous voice: "Bread, beans." ”

On the side, Bart added, "We eat bread and green bean soup in the morning. ”

Tia hesitated for a moment before asking, "Then can you all eat enough?"

Bart's face was cold, and it seemed that his self-esteem was still quite strong. Seeing him like this, Li Sheng patted his head lightly and said, "Tia wants to know about the lives of the residents here." ”

Although Bart is not very old, the children of the poor have long been in charge of the house, and they understand Li Sheng's words a little. He put away his cold face and thought for a moment before saying, "If Dad has a job, he can eat enough." ”

"What does your dad do?" Tia didn't feel sorry for these children, because she had been hungry before, and she didn't think there was anything to be pitied about starving. It's just that she is a little distressed that Weiwei'an, a little guy, may also be hungry.

"He can do anything. Construction workers, drivers...... In short, he has done a lot of work. ”

Tia looked up at Li Sheng, and there was a plea in it.

Li Sheng hesitated and shook his head slightly. He knew Tia meant to ask him if he could let the father of the two children work on the farm. Although Li Sheng didn't want her to be disappointed, the farm couldn't just recruit people from unknown sources.

Tia saw Li Sheng shaking her head, her face showing a hint of disappointment, but she asked again, "Are the other children like that?

"They're all pretty much the same. My mom said it had been twenty years since my family moved here. ”

Li Sheng felt that today's purpose had been achieved, so he said to Tia, "Tia, we should go back." ”

Tia let go of Vivien and stood up, but she glanced at the little girl who had run back to her brother and said in Chinese: "Li, can you give them money?"

Li Sheng nodded and said, "Yes." However, only some change can be given. Here, having too much money is not necessarily a good thing for them. ”

Tia also heard him say just now, it's not complete here, and it's really not good to give them too much money. He thought for a while, took out his wallet from the small bag, took about ten reais in change, squatted down and put it in the small pocket of Vivian's chest, and said, "This is what my sister bought candy for Weiwei'an." Don't eat your fingers in the future, it will hurt your stomach. ”

As she spoke, she gently pinched the little girl's face before standing up.

Coming out of the slums, Tia has been listless. was pulled by Li Sheng all the way and walked slowly.

Li Sheng looked a little distressed and said, "Don't think about it so much. With money, there will be poor and rich. ”

Tia smiled and said, "I just can't figure out why that's happening." ”

Li Sheng couldn't say why, but he could also say one, two, three.

Primitive accumulation, social resource allocation, and individual social competitiveness.

Although the two of them came out of the slum slowly, they walked in a straight line, and they came out in about half an hour. Li Sheng saw a convenience store with several sets of one-piece seats in the bar outside on the side of the road, pulled her over, asked her to sit down outside the small shop first, and he went in and bought two bottles of juice drinks.

When he came out, he found that two black men of mixed race had blocked Tia between the tables and chairs, and he walked over quickly and pulled the two guys aside. When Tia saw him, the horror on her face disappeared at once: "Lee!"

Li Sheng looked at her and saw that she didn't have anything, and the anger in his heart dropped a lot, but he still asked, "Did they bully you?"

Tia had a hint of disgust on her face, and the two men had said a lot of bad things to her.

Li Sheng didn't need her to answer, he didn't need to listen to the answer, he also knew that the two gangsters didn't do anything, but they didn't do anything good. The worry in his heart was put down, but anger began to rise.

"Boy, this is your girl, how about borrowing it for two days?"

When Li Sheng heard this, his anger suddenly broke through his reason, he turned his head and glared coldly at the thug who was speaking, and a force of energy couldn't help but rush out of the thug who was talking in the middle of the air.

The gangster seemed to be performing a sitcom about being hit by a big truck, and the whole person bounced backwards and flew upside down from the ground. It hit the steel pipe column of the shade shelter several meters away before stopping. The man fell to the ground, unconscious.

The other thug opened his mouth and didn't know what his accomplice was playing. But soon he realized that something was wrong, his accomplice did not have the ability to jump a few meters backwards, and he never got up again to continue acting.

He took a few steps back, took out a switchblade in his hand, and swallowed: "You, what did you do?"

That moment just now made Li Sheng's anger disappear a lot, and he didn't bother to pay attention to such scum. He turned around and comforted Tia and said, "It's okay, let's go!"

They walked away, and the thug tried to stop them, but he didn't dare to do so. When the two were far away, he went to see his accomplices. He lifted his accomplice and found that the situation was not good, and that his accomplice had blood stains in his mouth.

Tia was a little shocked at the thug who had just flown out of her body. When the man flew upside down, she felt a palpitating sense of silence around Li Sheng. However, she was not afraid of Li Sheng, but she felt that Li Sheng was so far away from her at that time, although she was standing beside her, it made her infinitely far away.

Li Sheng saw her walking silently, thinking that she was frightened by the thing she was molested just now, and said, "Don't be afraid, it's okay." We flagged the car back to the hotel. ”

Tia looked at him with a somewhat complicated gaze, nodded and said, "I'm not afraid." After a while, she asked. "That guy is going to be fine. She thought that the person suddenly seemed to be knocked into the air, which must have something to do with the kind of aura emanating from Li Sheng's side.

Li Sheng pursed his lips and just saw a taxi passing by, he stretched out his hand and said, "Don't worry about him." "He was a little heavy and impulsive just now. But he didn't regret it in the slightest. If they can make him angry, they should bear his wrath.

Tia opened her mouth to ask something, but she couldn't. She now finds that Li Sheng seems to have a lot of secrets. It's just that Li Sheng never talks to her about those things, and this recognition makes her a little lost.
