Wednesday bullets

  • Folha Online reports on new taxi fares from the International Airport. "Besides overcrowded terminals, long check-in lines, even lines to go to the bathroom or to buy a coffee, the users of Sao Paulo's international airport in Guarulhos have another reason to complain. Taxi fares from the airport became about 19% more expensive to most business destinations in the city. This means that a previous R$88 (US$49.50) taxi ride to Paulista Avenue now will cost R$ 105 (US$59) and a trip to Brooklin (south zone) will now run R$127 (US$72)." 
  • Bloomberg writes that Morgan Stanley has opened a hedge fund office in Sao Paulo that will serve clients in South America. 
  • So did Lenovo buy one of Brazil's largest PC manufacturers? A news source from China seems to indicate that it did. Positivo, the acquisition target in question, denies it.
