Blackstone Code

People often only see that big companies make more money, but fail to notice that the same crisis is coming. Sometimes large companies fall faster than small companies.

Profit and risk are directly proportional. The more you earn, the more risks you take.

Just like this time, if the motor company can complete the contract with Sauron, their profit will be at least 100 million, and it will also generate a steady stream of income in the future, such as maintenance and the like.

But the risks they bear are also huge, such as 900 million in liquidated damages.

If Mr. Wardrick can save the consortium this penalty and avoid all other means, it will become possible for him to enter the chairmanship of the board of directors.

After Lin Qi kept asking more and more questions, he finally said this sentence, and suddenly he felt like everything was clear and transparent!

"Yes, as long as you can get Sauron to propose reconciliation, I can join the chairmanship of the board of directors." He repeated it again, as if he was saying to Lynch, but also to himself.

The voice on the receiver became much more relaxed when he said, "Efforts must be rewarded. I will talk to Sauron. You can handle your affairs first and then notify me..."

If Mr. Wardrick can become one of the chairman of the board of directors of Meghan Consortium, it will be a very important help to Lynch.

Unlike other countries, the Federation has a relatively independent political system. The invasion of federal capital and capitalists into politics has penetrated into the bone marrow, and no politician can escape the "help" of capitalists.

Not from a mayor, to a congressman, or even to the president.

As the CEO and chairman of the board of directors of a large Mesozoic conglomerate, Mr. Wardrick will hold a lot of weight and be very influential in his attitude towards politicians.

Politicians may not do something just because "Mr. Wardrick asked me to do it," but when they do something, they will definitely think more about "Mr. Wardrick must not want me to do it."

After hanging up the phone, Lynch thought for a while and called Governor Seder, who planned to visit him at his door.

This was his second official visit to Governor Seder. The previous visit was far from pleasant. He could feel that Governor Seder was unhappy with him. He could understand it, but he only understood it.

This time, it will definitely be different from the last time.

Because each other's status has changed.

In the evening, Lynch came to the Governor's Mansion alone. Considering his current status in the international community, it was no longer so important whether he brought a female companion or not. This was precisely the prerogative of those in power, and besides, he was not married.

"You don't need to bring these gifts..." Governor Seder took the initiative to greet Lynch this time. He actually didn't want to do that, but he had to do it.

It was Lynch, a "little guy" who he didn't take seriously at first, who set off changes that affected the world. He wasn't sure that Lynch was responsible for these things, but it had a lot to do with him. .

He immediately saw the two bags in Lynch's hands. When Lynch indicated that these things were gifts, he said politely with a smile on his face.

"A bottle of fine red wine from the Federation and a box of pure color. I hope you like them." He briefly introduced them and then handed these things to Governor Seder's butler.

Governor Seder pointed casually, "Open the wine later and Mr. Lynch and I will taste it together."

The butler leaned back. In fact, they would also taste not only red wine but also pure wine, but that was after the meal.

While the two were talking, the Governor introduced Lynch into the room and took him to the living room.

There were only two of them in the empty living room, sitting on chairs beside a low table.

"You look good!" As soon as he sat down, Lynch gave a little compliment. Complimenting each other is also a necessary social means in this kind of situation. Don't look at it as if these compliments are unnecessary, in fact, the compliment itself is It is also a statement of position.

It is rare for a person to say nice things to his enemies. If they only mean nice words literally, their tone may be sarcastic, or they may not say anything at all.

Lynch said such words, which meant that he was not looking for trouble, let alone confrontation, and the atmosphere between the two suddenly became more harmonious.

"I have more time to rest during this period. The security in various parts of Amelia has been maintained recently. I don't need to worry about being woken up from my sleep by some bad news. This is all thanks to you."

Governor Seder did not avoid this question at all. It was only after he was slapped that he began to look at Lynch. Moreover, Lynch was considered an imperial aristocrat, so his attitude was not problematic at all in his own eyes.

There was a very reserved smile on his face, as if he said intentionally or unintentionally, "Jenia asked me not long ago if I had your contact information, but I didn't tell him. Maybe you should give her a call when you have time."

"I will!" Lynch responded, and the simple greetings ended. Then they started talking about some serious matters. Governor Seder really needed to talk to this "pioneer of reform".

"His Majesty has high hopes for the Imperial Zone and hopes that we can bear different fruits. To be honest, I don't know much about these things. Mr. Lynch, what do you think the Governor's Mansion should do?" Governor Seder asked seriously. , the attitude is also very appropriate, as if he is really asking for advice.

Lynch didn't believe that he didn't know anything. Since the Gefra Empire was willing to use Amelia as a test area, they must have a comprehensive plan.

Now that Governor Seder is asking him what he thinks, it is more likely that it is just a temptation to find and fill in the gaps.

These messy thoughts flashed through Lynch's mind quickly, and he began to answer with almost no interval. The two discussed for a long time, and the butler urged them once before the two ended the conversation.

The dinner was very rich. Regardless of the inconvenience of transportation during this period, the lack of social supplies was always only for the middle and lower classes of society.

While people outside the Imperial District were hungry and falling asleep, in the Governor's Mansion in the Imperial District, Governor Seder and Lynch were enjoying the purest Kurlik special steak.

"A great dinner..." After Lynch was full, he put down his knife and fork. He dipped the napkin on his lips. As a post-meal etiquette, he not only wanted to thank the governor for his hospitality, but also thanked the chef for his skills. , “This is a style I’ve never tried before, and it’s so delicious!”

"As long as you like it!"

The two entered Governor Seder's study under the leadership of the butler, which was a further manifestation of the relationship between the two parties. As soon as they entered the room, Lynch noticed that the solid color he brought had been placed on the desk.

And two of them have been disassembled, cut, and placed on a single solid-color stand.

Next to it is a gold and silver blowtorch with various colored gemstones inlaid on the handle. The open-ended knife seemingly placed randomly next to it also exudes luxury and nobility.

"Please..." After Governor Seder invited Lynch to sit down, he invited his hand to the solid color shelf on the table.

Lynch picked up a cigarette, and the butler took the initiative to step forward and first signaled that he wanted to light a cigarette for Lynch. After Lynch did not refuse, he picked up a blowtorch and lit his pure color for Lynch.

Soon the two were puffing away, and Governor Seder had a smile on his face, "I like to take a few mouthfuls after dinner. It helps improve the taste of my mouth. You know, not everyone is like that." I like rinsing my mouth.”

Rinsing the mouth after meals is also one of the daily behaviors of the nobles, but not every noble likes to do that, so they drink some scented tea, or have some snacks that can clean the mouth, or even smoke or solid colors, instead of gargling. process.

He sighed softly as he spoke, "Actually, I'm under a lot of pressure right now. The country still has some opinions on the establishment of an imperial special zone. If I do it well, forget it. If I don't do it well, those people in the country may not let me go."

"Mr. Lynch, I have one last question. I hope you can answer it for me."

Lin Qi nodded slightly, "I will try my best, Your Excellency the Governor."

"What should we do if something happens here that is beyond our expectations and rules, and we can't tell whether it is right or wrong?" This was his last question today.

He asked Lynch a lot of questions. Some of the previous questions he and Lynch had the same idea, and some were different. However, these questions all had an answer. Regardless of whether the answer was a standard answer, at least he had an answer. Subjective view.

Only the last question, he didn't know how to face at all, because the Gefra people had never walked on this road before.

Establishing a special zone, reducing the role of the nobility in the capital market, and allowing the market and society to develop freely has made the people of Gefra very insecure and the governor very insecure.

It would not be surprising at all if something happened during this process that they did not expect and did not know what was right or wrong. It is precisely because the governor's position is more sensitive now that he himself has no answer.

This is not a lack of opinion, it’s just that people should be confused about their unknown future.

After hearing this, Lynch thought for a moment and gave an answer with a smile.

"Your Majesty the Governor, every change is the pain of an era. We and even this society should not reject change just because we feel the pain. On the contrary, we must watch and feel it seriously."

"I believe that the things you are worried about will indeed happen here. My opinion is the same as before. We just watch and don't care."

"As long as it doesn't have devastating consequences, we can let it go."

“Change will never succeed without bloodshed or pain!”
