Blackstone Code

"Mr. Wardrick, thank you very much for your serious attitude towards the group's work. You don't have to worry. Someone may have forgotten to tell you that the changes to the contract content were approved by us."

There was no anger in the gentle voice. Even across the phone line, one could imagine the gentle image of the old man on the other end of the phone.

Some people have such an ability that even if you don't see them, when you communicate with them, their vivid image can appear in your mind.

"Why don't I know? No one has notified me until now..." Mr. Wardrick's tone was a bit sullen. No one notified him of such a big thing as modifying the contract. You have to know that he is the president of the group!

"I need an explanation, Mr. Chairman."

At this time, a voice suddenly intervened in their conversation, "Watch your attitude, Wardrick, you do not have to be notified of the subsidiary's decision."

Mr. Wardrick is the president of the group company. He is responsible for the daily work of the group company. The following important decisions of the company will be given to him in the form of written reports at a fixed time every week.

This is why the guy outside named himself the president of the company. At the same time, his proposal passed the resolution of the board of directors, which created a process issue.

Although reporting first and then voting and voting first and then reporting may seem similar, in fact Mr. Wardrick would not know this information until the next week, but they had already passed the vote, which created an information gap.

One week was enough time for them to do a lot of things, including creating a fait accompli and signing this contract that he didn't know about.

By the time he knew it, he couldn't change anything, just like it was now.

"Mr. Wardrick meant well and we don't need to blame him, but I think we should encourage this behavior."

"We all stand together as a team and we need to stick together."

"Let me explain a little bit, Mr. Wardrick, we have signed a memorandum and additional terms in addition to this agreement..."

In the past few days, someone submitted a proposal to the board of directors through some methods. The person who submitted the proposal was the president of a small company that the consortium sat for.

What is a consortium? To put it simply, it is an interest group that controls a large amount of wealth. This group does not belong to one person, but to a group of people.

Wherever there are people, there are classes, some have high authority, and some have low status, but as long as we are within this group, there is absolutely no problem with communication.

This guy raises a hypothesis, will Sauron end up tearing up the contract in various ways?

This is very possible. Everyone actually knows that the purpose of Sauron signing this large order directly with the consortium is not entirely to obtain the thermal power generating units that will be launched in advance, but to snipe Lynch.

Lynch wanted to get a good start in the Amelia region, which was not in the interests of the Gefra people, so Governor Seder arranged for Sauron to come to the Federation to sneak attack on the lair and cut off Lynch's retreat.

Once they achieve this, it means that they have actually completed their real interest demands-to defeat Lynch's strong debut in the Amelia region.

As for whether they can get the most advanced thermal power generating units, they actually don't care much - the technology currently owned by Gaevra is not much behind the one launched by the Federation, and they can completely satisfy it through repeated construction. The local electricity shortage can also expand the influence of local businessmen in Gafra.

They build power plants with higher power generation capacity, more stability and larger scale, and they will be more competitive in similar international orders in the future.

You know, the federal people have proposed to use the confidential installation method to ensure that these generators cannot be disassembled. Everyone in Gefra agreed to such harsh conditions, which also made the directors of the board of directors a little uneasy.

This statement was very close to the development of the current situation, so the senior management of the board of directors summoned the lower-level management member of the group who made the suggestion overnight, and discussed some countermeasures.

Except for those clauses that are not very important or have only minor modifications, the biggest modification is liquidated damages, which have been directly increased to a scale of 900 million. The reason for such an increase is that the chairman of the board of directors and some politicians in Congress Talked about it.

If there is a debt dispute between the people of the Federation and Gefra during trade, they will support the Megan Consortium to fight for their own interests at the appropriate time in accordance with the agreement.

In other words, with the promises of these congressmen, as long as the other party breaches the contract, the federation will put pressure on Gaevra. This is the power of the country!

Subsequently, after private emergency consultations between the two parties, a memorandum and a supplementary clause were signed to supplement the main contract and become independent at the same time.

Sauron has no objection to this. Anyway, liquidated damages are relative. If he breaches the contract, he will naturally bear corresponding responsibilities, but the same will apply if these people in the Federation breach the contract.

Moreover, this 600 million order is not completed immediately. It is carried out in stages, and the whole process will probably last three to five years.

The memorandum also mentioned that if the agreement company has more advanced power generation technology in three to five years, the purchased products will be automatically upgraded to the latest technology products, and the prices will fluctuate according to the market.

This is a new contract that is more detailed, more restrictive and more powerful for both parties, and neither party has any objections to it.

"...This is the situation. We agree that this new contract better protects our interests. I believe you will not object after knowing it."

The gentle voice ended, and Mr. Wardrick fell into thinking. If he had not been in contact with Lynch before and didn't know what Lynch was going to do, he wouldn't think it would be a big problem.

With the assistance of Congress and the federal government, it is possible to collect huge liquidated damages across borders. No matter what the considerations are, Governor Seder will not arbitrarily breach the contract.

This also means that the 600 million contract is firmly guaranteed, and the subsequent changes in new technologies are also reasonable from the perspective of the consortium's board of directors.

"Mr. Chairman, have you ever considered that we may become the defaulting party?" Mr. Wardrick still wanted to make a final save. He proposed a situation that the board of directors had never considered before.

Then came all kinds of laughter on the phone. Behind the laughter, every board member was laughing, and some of them were laughing so hard that they were about to shed tears.

"Mr. President, I have to admit that sometimes your ideas are more...well, like a wild horse without restraints. You are suitable for writing scripts, Mr. President..."

"Wardrick, this is the funniest joke I've heard this year..."

"You changed my senses about you, you know? I didn't expect you to be so humorous..."

People were commenting on how ridiculous this assumption was, with a hint of mockery in their tone before they laughed at Waldrick.

Your Excellency the Chairman is also laughing, and the sound of his laughter is not so harsh, just like the image he gives people, of an intellectual, kind-hearted old man who is rich in life experience and experience, and possesses wisdom.

"Mr. Wardrick, thank you for reminding me of the risks. Please forgive me for my arrogance. No one in my favor can make us fail. Yes, no one!"

"I don't think these cautious considerations of yours are likely to come true."

The gentlest voice said the most arrogant words, but he did have such qualifications. If he had not talked with Lynch, Mr. Wardrick himself would not have believed that this was possible.

Seeing that he could not convince these people at this time, Mr. Wardrick could only sigh, "Well, I hope it's just my random thoughts. I'm sorry to disturb everyone because of my personal matters."

"It's okay, Mr. Wardrick. I'm glad you called us. It shows that we always stand together..."

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Wardrick looked at the phone for a while and then shook his head. He needed to calm down.

The news that Megan Consortium and Solon signed a large order instantly caused a whirlwind in the federation. The most direct reaction was that all the listed companies related to Megan Consortium saw increases of varying magnitudes that day.

And this is also the second-level goal of the Megan Consortium, which is to stimulate the financial market through good news so that the value of each shareholder will increase.

For people like those on the group's board of directors, their personal assets may have expanded by a few to more than ten percent in just one day.

Don’t underestimate this perhaps inconspicuous few to ten percent, as long as the base is large enough, this is also a very astonishing number!

Also in a house in the Bupen Hillside Villas area, Lynch was enjoying exquisite veal steak while watching the reports on TV.

"According to the report sent back by our reporter, the Danleymore Research Center under the Megan Consortium has clearly led the world in thermal power generation technology and thermal energy conduction..."

Lyme, who was watching the report on the side, couldn't help but glance at Lynch secretly, "Mr. Lynch, do we really want to short Danley More's stock?"

Lynch smiled and nodded. He put down his knife and fork, picked up a napkin and touched the corner of his mouth. He did not answer Lem's words, but asked about other things.

"I heard your studio is up and running?"

Lem has been following Lynch for some time, and Lynch has delivered on what he promised, allowing him to have his own career.

Lime established a financial brokerage company, and of course Lynch also spent some money and took a certain share.

This financial economics company is similar to most brokerage companies in Bupen, except that it is more high-end in Lime. They not only have ordinary financial business, but also industrial business.

In just one year, Lem had his own business, and when he thought about it, the smile on his face became brighter.
