Blackstone Code

Some people call these international bankers "gamblers", while others call them "speculators". In fact, whether they are gamblers or speculators, the term used to call them is not entirely correct.

They possess the characteristics of gamblers and speculators, but not completely.

They don't bet on odds of one in ten thousand like gamblers. They are not that crazy. What they pursue is eternal interests, while crazy gamblers pursue the rush of adrenaline at the moment of the flop. Step into hell, grab heaven with one hand, and wait for the pleasure of final judgment, a fatal pleasure.

They are not like complete speculators. Although speculators do the same thing as them and pursue eternal interests, speculators are calmer than them. Speculators do not do anything before speculating. You know, and then throw your bet somewhere casually.

In fact, they will do a lot of meticulous work before this. They just want to use the least money to get the maximum return. This is not a one-in-10,000 chance that you know is almost impossible.

They combine the characteristics of both, but are different from both. They are further than speculators, but not as radical as gamblers. It seems that they are very contradictory people, but they have something that the former does not have, that is, A means of controlling off-site factors.

Now, these off-site methods have failed, and they have begun to become panicked. They are not as free and easy as gamblers when facing failure, nor are they as indifferent as speculators are when facing failure. They are frightened and even panicked!

They clearly realized a problem. If all this was Lynch's method, or Lynch had already made such a decision and such a plan from the beginning, then each of them would have been tricked and severely beaten. It's a joke!

Next, the question they considered was, after these things, did Lynch prepare other means to deal with them?

Or tear some from them to fill Lynch's terrible appetite. At this time, Mr. Herbers no longer dared to underestimate Lynch, so he put forward a point that should not have been said by him - at least we Also won a lot of exchange rates.

This is the only good news after the bad news, and it is also good news that can make people feel at ease.

They no longer pursue the batch of bonds that can swallow Lynch, and settle for the second best and plan to perform the contract intact. They will not ask Lynch for interest, but only hope that Lynch can successfully borrow it from them. Take the money and send it back.

Then they will still have huge profits. Even if they do not achieve the ultimate goal, they will still make a lot of money.

"I have a copy of the contract here. Maybe we should take a look at the contract again!" Herbers took the initiative to bring up the matter, and then with the echo of others, he asked the housekeeper to take out a copy of the contract from the safe. .

It was just a copy, and the original was kept by him in the vault of the Federal Financial Management Commission. To a certain extent, loans and mortgages of this level already have the basis for murder and robbery.

Therefore, neither Lynch nor Mr. Herbers thought about carrying these contracts with them. They all invariably kept the contracts in official federal institutions.

As the largest regulatory agency in the federal financial field, they also have corresponding services, and the service fees are not low.

The copy of the contract was quickly taken out, and they were split into many copies. Everyone was looking at it carefully. Since their careers became successful, it has been a long time since they read a copy line by line, sentence by sentence, like now. Boring contracts.

It doesn't matter if you don't read it. Once you read it, it's all a problem.

Then they all used a conference call to connect with their personal lawyers.

It is a huge group, and each international banker's business may involve people from many different countries and different classes. Naturally, they must also have lawyers who are familiar with the laws and national conditions of these countries.

This time they mainly found Gaevra's lawyers, federal lawyers and some neutral country lawyers.

The reason why we need to find lawyers from neutral countries is actually very simple. They are still thinking about whether it is possible to use their own means beyond gamblers and speculators - off-site factors to interfere with the outcome of judicial proceedings.

For example, they can file a protest to the federation, believing that holding court in the federation is not conducive to them, foreign businessmen, and request that the case be transferred to a neutral country or an international court where they have the ability to intervene. This will greatly increase their chances of winning.

They have indeed won many victories through this method in the past, so this time they are also considering whether they can do this.

As for the issues in the contract... they are mostly mutual and equal breach of contract clauses.

For example, when one of the two parties actually breaches the contract, liquidated damages must be paid based on one percent of the total contract price multiplied by the number of days of actual breach of contract.

This breach of contract clause is actually found in many contracts, ranging from buying and selling houses to buying and selling financial products.

They didn't think it was anything before, but now these people vaguely feel that this may be a trap.

"Mr. Herbers, I just looked through the relevant federal legal documents. The basis for liquidated damages is based on the collateral. In other words, if Mr. Lynch defaults on this loan, he needs to When paying liquidated damages, the market value of the currency actually borrowed is not used as the basis for calculating liquidated damages, but the value of the collateral at the time of borrowing is used as the basis for calculating liquidated damages."

"Furthermore, this kind of debt-type product has a value roughly equivalent to currency. As long as Gaevra's official does not publicly declare to abolish the redemption power of this batch of bonds, or publicly declares that it supports only a certain proportion of the bond's face value, then we The face value of the bond will be used as the actual value.”

"In other words, once one of you defaults, the amount will be paid based on the war bonds that Mr. Lynch has mortgaged with you with a face value of 94.45 million federal soles. The default will occur every day. The gold is 944,500 federal soles."

When Mr. Herbers heard this, his hands had already begun to shake. He tried to keep his emotions calm. He was afraid that his unstable emotions would affect others. He suppressed his emotions and asked in a low voice. He said, "So under what circumstances will I cause a breach of contract?"

After all, when it comes to lending, I have only heard of borrowers breaching the contract, but never heard of borrowers breaching the contract, so he asked again and again carefully.

“If you request to recover this part of the payment in advance before the termination date of the contract, then the number of days before the termination date of contract performance when you make this request will be considered as a breach of contract.”

The lawyer said as if he was joking, "For example, you want to recover this part of the money now. There are one hundred and ten days before the termination date of this contract. According to the provisions of the contract, you will not only get one penny. If not, we will have to pay Mr. Lynch a liquidated damages of about 10 million federal soles..."

The lawyer did not know that his joke almost broke Mr. Herbers's pretended calm mood. He tightly grasped the stigma of his civilized staff and folded his hands together, which made him look less panicked.

"This joke is not very funny, so let's discuss the second clause that I think is not appropriate..."

Throughout the day, a group of people had been discussing the terms of the contract, whether it was in their intended interests, and whether it would harm them too much.

In the end, they picked out some clauses that may have laid traps. In addition to the issue of liquidated damages, there were also some other minor issues, such as payment methods and how to effectively confirm them.

At the end, Mr. Herbers asked this large group of lawyers from all over the world the question that concerned him most, "Gentlemen, let's say that we have some disagreements in this contract, and ultimately we intend to seek resolution through litigation. program, are there ways we can transfer its powers to other international tribunals as we have done in the past?"

After a short discussion, the legal team came to a not-so-good conclusion, "Sorry, Mr. Herbers, we think this is unlikely to be realized."

"The first point is that this contract was signed in Nagaril and executed in the Federation. If you want to transfer the case from the Bayler Federation to other international courts, you must first convince these two countries to agree to this. Do."

"But judging from the current situation, this is almost unlikely."

"Regardless of the degree of influence that the Nagalil Joint Development Corporation has on the country's domestic judicial system, the mere parallelism of their two sets of laws will bring big troubles to subsequent lawsuits."

"Secondly, the Federation has become the world's top military power, and they have also shown an unprecedented tough attitude in opening up international affairs. We all believe that they cannot agree to our request, and Mr. Lynch and the top leaders of the Federation The relationship is very close, and he will definitely obstruct it.”

"I don't think it's possible for your idea to come true."

Mr. Herbers pursed his lips, "I mean, what if it's possible?"

He will work hard. He also knows many people in Baylor Federation. There may not be no chance to change this situation, so he emphasized, what if it is possible?

But the lawyers didn't think so. "No chance, Mr. Herbers."

Mr. Herbers's emotions were somewhat out of control. He tried his best to give himself some good news that might come true, but these lawyers always let him down!

His voice suddenly rose a lot, "I mean what if, what if this is possible?"

"As an employee, I would love to tell you that there is a chance, but as a lawyer, I must tell you that you don't have this one-in-a-million chance, Mr. Hebbs."

"We can't let you immerse yourself in false illusions of the impossible and wait for danger to come. If you think that if is valuable and valid, then you might as well consider what if these things will start out as you originally imagined. Isn't it better to end?"

Mr. Herbers was speechless by the lawyer for a long time. He realized that this might be the stupidest decision in his life!
