    About this ebook

    In society, some individuals are said to have supernatural powers. One or two actually have those powers. People like Mali Chega. But very few people get to know them. And even fewer get to use them. Gregorio and Ganjamano are in this latter class. And this is their story.

      Chapter One: Gregorio

      Gregorio wanted to become rich. So rich that he would have money burning a hole in his pockets every month of the year and weighing down the bank coffers at Banco Internacional de Moçambique. But he did not want to work long days and late nights, weekends included. He wanted to work as little as possible. To him by little more than a little was by much too much. He wanted to invest a little and to harvest a great deal. His boat to wealth and fame was to be a company- actually his own family concern, called Zero-Zero Investments.

      His plan was to launch into the future dealing in international commodities, Internet business and cybernetics.

      There was only one problem, really one solution that needed to be achieved.
