Looking at Mr. Simon, who looks like a local native, and the questions he asked, Lynch smiled and asked, "Do I need to know about this 'Preton Firm'?"
Mr. Simon was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed. His face was very kind, which may have something to do with him being a little fat now.
Most of the fat people don't look like they're evil, they don't make people feel uncomfortable. Their posture and stretched appearance will give people a sense of simplicity and honesty. This is also why people may hate fat people, but very few There are reasons why some people think fat people are a threat to them.
"Mr Lynch, if you're just visiting Nagalil, it doesn't matter if you know 'Preton House', but if you're going to do business locally, I think you'd better know.' Pretton & Co.'s something to do with it!"
Mr. Simon's tone is actually not as peaceful as when the two first met. Although his tone and tone have not changed too much, he can still feel the sharpness of a nail from his attitude. feel.
He was warning Lynch, or at least reminding him of the importance of the Preton Firm.
Lynch is not a person who can be easily threatened, no matter who he is facing, whether he has the capital to resist, he is not the kind of person who can be easily threatened and coerced by others.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Lynch nodded, "Then please, Mr. Simon, would you please introduce me to this...what is it?"
"Pretton Firm!", Simon's tone was slightly aggravated to express his dissatisfaction with some of Lynch's practices. He did not believe that a word they had just discussed would be forgotten by Lynch so soon. It must have been done on purpose.
He then began to carry out his work, introducing the Pretton Firm.
Pretton Firm is not strictly someone's business, nor does it look like a serious firm doing what a firm should do, it's more like a chamber of commerce.
Every quarter, the firm holds a general meeting of shareholders, and a large proportion of foreign businessmen engaged in business investments in Nagalil are shareholders of the Preton firm.
In this meeting, these people will discuss this more peaceful way to allocate everyone's business and quota for the next quarter.
This sounds a bit exaggerated. A chamber of commerce organization should not have such a large amount of energy, but it does.
This is also related to Mr. Preton, the largest shareholder of the Preton Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Preton is said to have served in the navy before entering business. He has a special obsession with the sea and is full of adventurous spirit.
Actually, when Simon mentioned the significance of Mr. Preton being in the navy, Lynch is also very clear that sea shipping, as the main long-distance circulation method at present, is not as safe as people think.
There are more than one shipwreck every day in this world, but some are reported and some are ignored.
Mr. Preton has earned people's trust in his way, he has made some very reasonable rules of the game, and everyone, including himself, follows them, and everyone expects other newcomers to do the same. join them.
"...This is generally the case, Mr. Lynch. In fact, the things that I gained by joining Preton Firm are much more than what I just said!"
"For example!", Mr. Simon's tone increased slightly, "What is the most popular thing in Tiat now, what is in Medarik is starting to drop in price... We all share information like this in a timely manner!"
"You don't need to face those hateful intelligence mongers. You only need a phone call to know the latest commodity price trends around the world, which also brings great convenience to our international trade."
"You know, sometimes we'd rather pay liquidated damages and park things in port for a while, and without those channels, we'd lose more!"
It may sound like an exaggeration to be willing to breach the contract rather than fulfilling the contract. In fact, this often happens in international trade, especially when the price of commodities fluctuates rapidly and greatly during certain periods of time.
It is possible that a ship of goods is only worth 10,000 yuan in the morning, and becomes 1 million yuan in the evening, so people are willing to pay three times five times the liquidated damages for not fulfilling the contract, but also to ensure more profits do not slip through their fingers.
Especially during the war, the prices of some ores, some important industrial production materials, are always changing day by day.
Maybe because a group conquered a certain area and discovered some mineral deposits, the price of certain materials plummeted, or because some facilities, including mining areas, were bombarded to reduce production or even stop production for a short period of time, the price of certain raw materials instantly fly to the sky.
This change is happening every day, even now, and some of the raw materials needed for post-war reconstruction work are not much less than those needed during the war, but more.
Be aware that there is always more need to build than to destroy. Hot Books
Then it is very important to have a rich and stable news channel. Relying on some less visible means and some intelligence sharing, Mr. Preton has easily integrated a lot of information in Naga The businessmen run by Lear have formed a very special interest group around him.
That's why the local rulers don't like these people, they become tough and greedy when they are united.
This is also a matter of course. When there is competition, it is always a small part of the head power who will eat the support, and then there will be the next meat, bones and broth. Now the interests are distributed, and everyone is not too much At a loss, it looks like everyone is a winner, but that's not the case.
The income of the former top powers has been reduced, and the real beneficiaries are the large number of small businessmen who lack competitiveness. In order to meet the requirements of some people for more profits, increasing the net profit ratio has become the main thing. means.
Higher prices, higher profit margins, naturally become greed in the eyes of local rulers.
"Mr. Lynch, this is a good time. I invite you to join us. Such an opportunity is rare!", Mr. Simon tried his best to persuade Lynch.
In addition to Mr. Preton calling him personally, what happened to Lynch also left him a little terrified.
You must know that in the territory divided by the Preton Firm, Magurana Province belongs to Mr. Simon's main business area. Spices, some animal skins, some jewelry and gold are his main business items.
Originally all this was very peaceful, and he was not dissatisfied with it. He also knew that Mishehaya and some people made things difficult for Lynch.
In fact, everyone has experienced this kind of thing more or less at the beginning. Mr. Simon also laughed and talked with some businessman friends about how long Lynch could survive under the local ruler's target, and what he would use to solve it.
When Lynch is cornered, Mr. Simon and the others will appear before Lynch, invite him to join the Preston Firm, help him through the storm, and then give him a quota for him to taste A little sweetness.
The idea is very good, but the facts are very bizarre. No one knows how Lynch responded. People only know that Lynch agreed to some of Mischahaye's demands, and in return, Mischahaye--in fact It is the Governor, who may agree to give Lynch the monopoly rights and import and export trade rights of some commodities.
Mr. Simon can't sit still now, which has seriously affected his interests. Once Lynch and the governor reach an agreement on their opinions, the internal and external trade pattern of Magurana Province will change immediately. .
Before those businessmen who did business locally would face a more embarrassing situation, they had to leave because of the change of attitude of the ruler, and the power of Lynch.
Having been operating here for so many years, they can't afford to give up their business and profits here, it's going to kill them!
Added to Mr. Preton's own phone call, this led to a meeting between him and Lynch.
Looking at Lynch's young face, Mr. Simon was a little emotional and a little nervous. He didn't know whether Lynch would agree. He looked at Lynch and wanted to find something from this young face.
Lynch was silent for a while. He was weighing the pros and cons. In fact, he was very interested in this Preton firm. The sharing of international trade information is an amazing thing.
At present, in the whole world, except for a few countries and countries that have telephone lines or transit lines, there are many countries and countries that do not have direct telephone lines.
For example, from the Federation to Nagalil, there is no direct telephone connection. Telegrams are not only expensive, but also not necessarily reliable and secure, so people are more inclined to send messages by writing letters.
However, the delivery of letters is too slow. If you are lucky, it will take a week to deliver. If you are unlucky, it will take half a month or more. The opportunity for trade often occurs in a very short period of time, and if you miss it, you will miss it forever. .
Wait half a month later?
The ashes are cold!
But he is still reluctant to join the Preton Firm~IndoMTL.com~ because of this. He thinks about how to get the convenience that can only be obtained by joining a firm without joining the Preton Firm.
He looked back at Mr. Simon with a playful look in his eyes, which made Mr. Simon feel a little inexplicably uneasy. He checked his clothes and touched his chin to make sure he had nothing. Only then did he bite the bullet and meet Lynch's gaze, "How are you thinking, Mr. Lynch?"
Lynch raised his eyebrows, he shook his head, "I can't answer your question in a short time, I need time to think about it, I never force others, and I don't want to be forced by others, you can understand what I mean ?"
Mr. Simon, who was unhappy in his heart, still forced a smile and nodded, "I should be more careful..."
