disaster. Eyes fixed on the viewer placed on the table in the pub, a glass of whiskey next, Friday afternoon, shirt collar unbuttoned, tie on his chest now. Nobody could imagine that the prices arrived under 250, no.

"It's the first time I see you with a whiskey at this time. I sit down? Something wrong? ".
"are exhibited together with the China Standard"
"How much?"
"I bought a month ago to 500. And I charge 10,000 "
" 10,000? 5 million? "
silence fell on the table, quiet island in the chaos of the pub.
"Yeah."
More silence.
"But we will have 5 million?"
unfairly, selling everything, even things Sara, maybe I can avoid jail. But starting from scratch, with nothing, no home. Without Sara ... "
" Why do you say that? "
" Do you think that will stay with a loser? "
" I always seemed to you a solid couple, who loved her. "
" Of course I love her, and I'm sure she loves me, but I do not know what stand in front of this. To stay afloat I should sell all his things, should give up everything. The pictures, Sarah, who leaves the house in the center to live in the suburbs? Who gives up the two-month holiday in Polynesia? Can you imagine? "
"You should talk to her."
"Yes, of course. I'll tell you. Tonight.. "
Still the silence, while still looking at viewer.
"Now we are under 180 ...».
"Why did you set out so much with HC? And with China's standard, too? "
" I had a tip for the Chinese market.. "
"A tip-off?"
"They were items concerning the conflict between the districts of Shanghai.
will remember that before the war, China was the Standard on the 300 but then, during the fighting, had shot up to 900. For six months, with the peace talks, the prices were slowly declining and would probably reach 300 in the coming weeks, but a month ago, I get a rumor on the arrest of the negotiations and the resumption of hostilities. Meanwhile, as you know, during the war were organized calls for the construction of 10 nuclear reactors in Kazakhstan, and China a technological work Standards are the best, better than Dark Skilled India or Malawi, for example. That is when the hazard: if the war had really taken the quotations of the Standard China would wheelies. Then buy a load of Standard 500 in China, I promise to pay after a month, which is Monday, and directed him to Kazakhstan. Slowly, in small areas, from Shanghai to Almaty in a month, move away from the load and the districts closer to nuclear sites. If the war was taken before the arrival of that load in Kazakhstan, my Standard China would remain the only ones on the market for months. Two days ago, however, is announced, among countless big bows and smiles, the end of the conflict between the Districts and the signing of a lasting peace and everlasting. It is not enough: this morning we discover that not only ended the war, but Canton has announced a surplus of Human Commodities, HC, exceeding all expectations and will begin exports soon. Result: the markets are flooded not only the commodities in Shanghai, but also from those of Canton, and prices are coming down this morning ... But you wrong? What did I say? ".
After a moment's hesitation, "It you better say it now: the false rumors on the resumption of hostilities we have put around us. It was not my idea, but I have not turned back when the members have given me.. "
"You? It was you? You?
"I swear, I did not know you were there in the middle."
"But why? Why this play? "
A deep sigh, resigned.
"Yes, now you can say. Now ... I swear, I did not imagine, I did not know ... "
" But why? Tell me why. "
"China and the China Standard have nothing to do, Malawi was the Dark is our goal. We knew in advance and in confidence, which was spreading in Nigeria a new outbreak of Ebola that could, perhaps, strike Lagos. In any case, it exploded near the main camps of Malawi and Dark would at least lead to delays in delivery: would have to begin quarantine loads and control outbreaks of infection. Although the Dark Malawi have high standards of strength, they could not exclude losses. At worst, then, that if the virus had been confined in the remote villages of the forest, we had a late delivery due to quarantines. At best, if that Ebola had arrived in Lagos and had begun to spread in the camps, then we would have faced with a historic rise in prices. The source was reliable and we have therefore focused on Dark Malawi very strong, but not to arouse suspicions about our movements and remain the only ones to exploit the opportunity we had to divert the attention of potential rivals before the official publication of the report to Ebola. We then began to invent false news of all kinds, from the forecast about the monsoon in India, the decline in rice production in Vietnam, in fact, the resumption of war in the districts ... Our strategy worked: no one has noticed anything there and the game went pretty well, though not very well, because as you know, the virus has been contained and did not affect substantially production, as we hoped, or maybe dreamed. The delivery delays have raised the prices by 10%, but we went so well. "
elbows on the table, head in your hands.
"Oh Lord ... Are you telling me that I ruined a 10% on your Dark Malawi? "
" If Ebola had taken hold could be so much more. "
"And now? What do I do now? ".
"What are we?"
"Now I'm 150. At this rate, Monday liquidate under 100, and if at least one million revenue failure is guaranteed.. "
contemplate at length the glasses now empty.
"Look, I have a proposal from you. This is not ideal but at least guarantees you that million.. "
"And what would it be? I buy you a China's Standard 100? "
" No, it's the train I need. This morning we received a proposal for some old Russian nuclear sites: the people that might be needed at those sites in Kazakhstan. It's a deal to be completed in a few days, and we have refused to this: we would not know how to move down there so quickly. But if you have a convoy in the area, you could divert to Russia and from there, loaded, then sent him to Kazakhstan.. "
"But one million is too much for a train is out of this world!"
"I know, but I could justify it to shareholders the fact that there was nothing else available. Yes, I will say this: it was the only train available ... - Leaned toward his friend - even if, in reality, but it will remain between me and you, I do get back a bit '.. "
"Thank you ...».
"I do not think. Like I said, a bit 'I feel responsible. '.
"What do I do with the load? '.
"Disfatene. The empty train I need, I have to fill in Russia, and those old sites are out of this world, nothing in the desert: we would not know that there farcene of 10,000 Standard China that would cost us an arm and a leg just for storage. Disfatene, just a phone call.
Withdrawal hours and then divert the convoy. And 'one million, may be sufficient to restart. Think of Sara - rose - Another whiskey? ". returned with the glasses just as the call ended.
"I closed the convoy will head to Russia, then tell me where.."
"You did well. Also because, among other things, the Chinese always give problems: by putting more loads in the off-standard or even sick. Here, drink, think no more of the Standards China, think of Sarah.. "
"I always think of her, when I saw it the first time, when he won the title of Miss University. What was it? The 2032? Or '33? Since then I've always been in love with her.. "
"Drink. Everything will be fine. Love will win in the end, I'm sure.. "
while you enjoy their whiskey, a beam of electrons set in motion another electron beam and this another, then another, and another, farther and farther away. And through cables, antennas, satellites that beam was able to send information that, after traveling up and down the land, eventually landed in the ears of the driver of a slow and halting train, moving towards the North West in the cold and Asian steppe desert. At your destination, that involved the arrest of the beam train, the opening of side walls of the wagons and the evacuation, with efficiency and expertise, a load of 10,000 Chinese scantily dressed. When the last Standard China had set foot on the floor, the walls closed again and the wagon train as quickly as possible, moved on.
While returning home, his thoughts were entirely taken by the impending interview with Sara would depend on which much of his later life, it would be a bit 'relieved to see that load. Because it is true that the parameters established by the WTO on Human Commodities are stringent. And it is true that the Standard China is defined as "a young adult Chinese of both sexes, aged between 17 and 28 years, of height not less than the normal clinical history and documented by the opinions expressed by independent experts "- as well as countless other details - but it is true that the wholesale merchants of the producing countries often circumvent strict guidelines . It happens often, that the loads are riddled with non-standard elements, or too young or too old, or sick, then you have to discard their destination. In this case, look at the load would think that basically, the idea was to discard the wiser. Because of those 10,000 Standard China badly dressed wandering here and there in the icy wilderness, most of which, however, would be eliminated from the rigors of the night and the remainder, the next day, the gangs of robbers in the endemic area, a large proportion was definitely out of the norm. It would be consoled, at least partially, the loss incurred if he had known that, of those 10,000, a good 10% were children under 12 years, with a difference would have resulted in a further heavy burden.
