Rio Negro
He was pretty good at repression.
Had to be. With almost all big projects,
which had been realized according to his plans,
there had been resistance. Whether they were politicians Environmentalist or entrepreneur - anyone
always bothered that he was building something,
that was associated with change.
Change in the sense of improvement, of which he
almost always convinced.
He looked in the mirror. Somehow the baths are in
Five-star hotels all the same, he thought. At least
in Brazil.
