Blackstone Code

Wealth moves the heart.

Since ancient times, how many joys and sorrows have been caused by the issue of wealth, and how many justice and sins are hidden in it?

For some people, trampling on the bottom line of law and morality for the sake of money will not allow them to think for a second whether it is appropriate to do so. They only care about how much money they can make!

Lynch understood what Mr. Wardrick said very clearly, and he even understood some of the deeper meanings behind Mr. Wardrick's words, such as... kill the person who dared to stop everyone from getting rich.

This is not uncommon in the past, present, or future.

In terms of power, Lynch is not as good as those presidents who were assassinated. He has no power at all.

In terms of wealth and status, he is not as good as those important members on the boards of directors of large consortiums.

He can't compare to those people who often appear in the headlines, and those capitalists dare to do evil things.

If it weren't for the fact that Lynch had an armed force of his own at his side and his Black Stone was safe, those people might not even bother to give him a warning!

After Mr. Wardrick said this, he looked at Lynch to see what kind of expression he had.

Frustrated?

disappointment?

Hate your own incompetence?

There was nothing, he was still as calm and calm as before, and the real fluctuations in his heart could never be seen from his face, which only made Mr. Wardrick more interested.

Many people find it difficult to control their pessimistic mood when they hear bad news. Eyes, expressions, and body movements may all betray a person's heart.

How is Lynch feeling in his heart at this time?

Already collapsed?

Or hold on?

He was curious and wanted to know.

About ten seconds later, Lynch lowered his head and took a sip of coffee. When he swallowed the bitter but sweet liquid, he looked up at Waldrick. His Adam's apple slid, "Mr. Waldrick, you know Well, I heard a saying..."

Mr. Wardrick nodded to indicate that he was listening, and also indicated that Lynch could continue.

"This sentence is not long, 'If a person is not entangled by desire, he will not flinch no matter what he faces.'"

Mr. Wardrick frowned slightly and "chewed" these words carefully for a while. After a while, he relaxed his brows and nodded as if in agreement and appreciation, "You always have such a wise phrase. You can hear some wise words that no one else can hear.”

"Because I am also a wise person!" Lynch made a little joke, which was not so modest or annoying.

The laughter of the two people gradually stopped, and Mr. Wardrick asked a question, "Although the words are very wise, the situation of these words is different from what you are saying now."

"You have desires. You want to get that order from the Governor of Amelia. You are tired of desires and you will shrink back."

It was naturally impossible for Lynch to deny the fact, "You are right, Mr. Wardrick. I don't know if you realize that I didn't say this to express that I was burdened by desire. What I wanted to express was It’s those people behind you who are also burdened by desire.”

"They have too many desires, so they will constantly change their positions and ways to cater to their desires, which means that as long as there are enough restrictions, they will bow their heads."

"For those of us, what is it that we're after?" Lynch asked.

Mr. Wardrick, who was sitting next to him, did not hesitate for long. "Wealth, in the Federation, wealth is more influential than power."

Lynch nodded, "Then as long as I make them feel the pain, they will flinch, and I can go further, and so can you."

Mr. Wardrick put down the coffee cup he had been holding, "What do you mean?"

The smile on Lynch's face changed somewhat. He crossed his hands and pressed them on his knees, "What would happen if the people behind you contributed to the 600 million order you mentioned and suffered a huge loss as a result?" Sample?"

When Lynch said this, Mr. Wardrick instinctively thought that this was impossible. As a successful consortium, it must have a sound legal department that is proficient in the laws of domestic and even mainstream foreign countries.

The purchase contract signed by Solon and the company only needs the final signature to be completed. This is something that will not change. There are many people working together behind this.

At the same time, for the consortium, this must be a sure-profit deal. As long as the things are produced, they can be cashed in. How can there be huge losses in this case?

So he instinctively denied this possibility. It was like someone telling you what to do if a star fell and hit someone. It felt like it was just a joke.

But jokes don't matter who tells them.

Some people don't have enough weight and will be treated as a joke by others when they tell the truth.

Some people are serious enough that even if they are joking, others will seriously consider whether there is anything implied in these words.

He thought carefully for a while and found no possible problems. He could only shake his head, "What you said... I'm not sure."

"Just think I'm joking!" Lynch said with a smile, but if he really said that, how could Mr. Wardrick only regard what he said as a joke?

"We are making bold assumptions about this joke. If what I say becomes true, will it help your position in the consortium?"

He continued in a tone similar to a discussion, "The board of directors has modified the project you approved and rejected your point of view. If their decision causes the consortium to suffer huge losses, what will they do and what will you do?"

This issue barely made Mr. Wardrick think about it before he stated the result, "According to the rules, the people who promoted the plan will be deprived of part of the equity in their hands to compensate the people who suffered losses. At the same time, they will also be kicked out of the board of directors and lose their voting rights." .”

For members of these large consortiums, losing their voting rights on the consortium's board of directors is definitely a fatal blow to them.

However, situations like this will not happen often. Unless it really causes serious harm to the consortium, they will generally not be deprived of their seats on the board of directors and the vote will not pass.

"As for me... this will prove that my decision is correct. Some neutrals on the board of directors will be on my side for a period of time. At the same time, I will also have the opportunity to expand the number of shares in my hands." Speaking of this, Wardry Mr. Ke's cheeks felt a little warm.

In fact, he doesn't have many desires. He has a happy and harmonious family, a daughter who has certain abilities that will at least not ruin his family fortune, and so much money. He takes many things very lightly.

However, he still has some motivation when it comes to the equity of the consortium. This thing is like buying insurance.

He can completely insure these equity shares and entrust it to an institution for management. As long as the consortium is not available, his descendants can always enjoy the dividends brought by this part of the equity.

If the consortium continues to exist from generation to generation, its descendants will continue to enjoy it from generation to generation!

When people live in the world, there will always be some demands. Some people ask for it during their lifetime, some people ask for it after death, and some people ask for everything.

In addition, if you have more equity, you will be tougher in your speech, which is very important.

It was at this moment that Mr. Wardrick realized that what Lynch was going to do must be related to what he said, and the consortium was likely to face heavy losses.

But not only did he not want to tell other people these things, he wanted to see what method Lynch would use to put a consortium that had been standing to this day into crisis!

"It seems we have reached agreement on some demands?"

Mr. Wardrick nodded, "At least from now on, we have no differences."

"What do you need me to do?"

Lynch said, patting his legs and standing up, "Support me when necessary, and then support yourself, it's that simple."

After sending Lynch away, Mr. Wardrick immediately returned to the study. The change in his heart was actually stronger than what Lynch saw. This was an opportunity.

Of course, he is not arrogant enough to think that he can control the entire consortium. This is impossible, but it is easy to increase the weight of his voice. He needs to prepare in advance.

Lynch didn't tell him how to realize this impossible plan, but he just believed that Lynch could do it.

If you want to ask why you feel this way, probably this is because every miracle Lynch has accomplished in the past is an endorsement of the miracle he will perform next!

Lynch did not talk about the meeting with those behind the scenes. This is an irreconcilable conflict. Without a fight, no one will feel weak.

For three or four days, it was as if nothing had happened. The entire Bupen and even the entire world were in peace.

On such a quiet day, the "Macon Consortium" where Mr. Wardrick belonged held a press conference and held a signing ceremony at the same time. The person on the board of directors who facilitated the matter was responsible for signing the contract in person.

This is actually not in line with the rules, but it doesn't matter. He just wants to firmly hold on to this credit so that he can gain more say.

As for his identity, he randomly found a sales company related to the company that developed and produced generator sets, and took the title of president.

What really attracts people is the order and influence worth 600 million. The consortium told the society that this order can at least provide the society with no less than 500 medium-term jobs. For a while, people praised the Macon consortium and its subordinates. All companies are capitalists with ethics and conscience...

Backstage, a staff member was putting on makeup for the board member who had worked hard to facilitate this. He looked through the mirror at Mr. Wardrick, who was standing not far away, and said with a half-smile: "Actually, you don't need to come."

This sentence is correct. Mr. Wardrick did not come to sign the contract in person. There was no need for him to be present. At the same time, the purpose of finding something to talk about was also vaguely tinged with some special emotion.

Being the president of a group means that many things can often be decided by the president of the company without the consent of the board of directors. This will make people on the board of directors feel offended and not treated with the respect they deserve.

This becomes a good opportunity for him to take revenge and show off.

Mr. Wardrick smiled but said nothing.

He placed one hand across his chest, with his palm tucked under the other armpit. The other hand was slightly raised, and his thumb pushed the wedding ring on his finger.

Faced with this vaguely provocative request for words, he did not answer, but just turned around and looked elsewhere.

This made the gentleman at the dresser laugh, and he thought he had won.

But at this moment, two directors from the company's legal department walked in. They stood next to Mr. Wardrick and said in a low voice, "We just checked the contract and it has been modified..."

As he spoke, he pointed out several of them, as well as the most critical one, liquidated damages.

"Because the amount involved in this contract was very huge, we took into account each other's rights and interests when drafting the contract and reduced the liquidated damages to 18% of the total order amount, which is just over 100 million."

Recommended, the novel app I am using recently, [app ] is supported by Android and Apple phones!

"But now it has been changed back to 150% liquidated damages. If we... we have to pay at least 900 million in liquidated damages, which is too much!"

The head of the legal department looked around and said, "This contract cannot be signed. The risk is too great. Of course, my assessment is limited to the problems that may arise. If you or other directors think that we will not breach the contract, then there is no risk. "

At this time, Mr. Wardrick probably already knew where Lynch's confidence came from, liquidated damages!

Not long ago, he used the same method to squeeze out the last penny from Herbers, so that the old man had to find a place with a nice view to jump off. Now it was their turn to be the victim.

He glanced at the manager in front of the dressing table and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, the Chairman may come, and the signing time will be delayed a little."

Before he could say anything, he immediately turned around and headed to the VIP lounge where he had prepared and held a conference call.

In less than a minute, the phones rang in front of people in different places. They picked up the phone accidentally or out of curiosity, and then "gathered together".

"I'm Wardrick. I just read the contract draft between us and the provincial government of Amelia. I found that some of the terms have been modified. I request that this signing ceremony be terminated!"

Essentially, he hoped to use Lynch's hand to beat those arrogant directors, but he never thought about asking Lynch to destroy the Macon Consortium.

Once an accident occurs, they really have to pay compensation of 900 million, and the consortium simply cannot come up with the money!

It’s not that they don’t have money, their assets are more than this number, but a large part of these assets are various real estate or value-added assets. These things are not money and cannot be turned into money in a short time. That will become The nightmare of the consortium may even sound the death knell for the consortium!

"What did you find, Mr. President?"

The voice of the speaker is very soft, a bit like... it's hard to describe, like an elderly priest. When he speaks, it makes people feel like he is bathed in sunshine.

But Waldrick knew that the owner of this voice was the real emperor of the consortium and the chairman of the consortium's board of directors.

"Our liquidated damages are too high. Once an accident occurs, we simply cannot afford such compensation!"
