Blackstone Code Chapter 1300: Hitchhiker
Latest URL: For the bigwigs, nothing can be a simple isolated incident.
Lynch is back in town at night when a shareholder of Tomorrow's Light Investment Company invites him to a private party.
Actually, it was a party, just to cater to Lynch's "youngness", it couldn't be said that it was a private meeting or something.
Lynch is still young after all, and people will speak well in a way that caters to young people.
Lynch gladly went to the appointment, after all, "my own person".
This shareholder is also an immigrant and "Mr. Key" who keeps the whole thing going.
When Lynch's car parked in front of the villa, the shareholder named "Skelder" took the initiative to greet him.
"Chairman Lynch..." With a pure smile on his face, he said Lynch's position on the board of directors, the chairman of the board.
Some people like to be called that, it sounds like it's a sign of their status.
Lynch smiled and shook hands with him, "Just call me Lynch, I brought a fish and it was great..."
A Blackstone Security employee shows the packaged fish he is holding.
The fish is still breathing, it's still alive, and that's one of Mr. Douglas's takeaways.
To be a guest at someone else's home, whether it is on the initiative or by invitation, must obey the etiquette of the Commonwealth, that is, you cannot come empty-handed.
For a group of wealthy people, there is nothing they haven't seen, so the meaning of gifts is more important than rarity and preciousness.
Mr Skelder stated that he liked the fish very much, and then handed it over to his deputy, and then invited Lynch into his house.
When entering the door, he trailed slightly behind Lynch and asked his assistant in a low voice, "Is this thing for eating or viewing?"
Looking at the bewildered look on his assistant's face, he rolled his eyes, "Build it a fish pond and raise it up..."
He then took two steps and caught up with Lynch.
As soon as the two entered the living room, several people stood up and greeted them.
"I'll introduce to you, this is my countryman and a member of the Progressive Party...", he said a name.
This young man looks in his thirties, and thirty-somethings are indeed young people to those living in the Commonwealth.
He shook hands with Lynch, "I'm currently doing staff work for Mr. . . . Nice to meet you, Mr. Lynch!"
Then the next one, the people gathered here all have a very distinctive feature, they are all fellow countrymen of Mr. Skelder, and they are also very close to him.
Among them are capitalists like him, and some are actively engaged in politics.
In fact, what Lynch sees here is only a microcosm of the whole immigrant society, a small part, but a real part.
Immigrants can't do anything in the face of discrimination, even rich people, capitalists, will be discriminated against.
Yes, maybe ordinary people can't discriminate against them, but for big capitalists, they still discriminate against immigrant capitalists.
Mr. Skelder has invested in Tomorrow's Light. He has invested almost his entire fortune in this company.
The good news is that his hard work has paid off. In addition to the dividends that have been received, he has also become one of the core members of the "Black Rock Consortium".
That's what people outside call the Light of Tomorrow Company. With Lynch's Blackstone Group as the core and skeleton, this is the Blackstone Consortium!
I am attached to Lynch's side, but now the pursuit of wealth has been placed second. What Mr. Skelder has to do is to find a way to improve himself and the social status of the people around him in the Federation.
No matter how rich you are, people will look down on you. Isn't this more annoying than poverty?
No matter how poor they are, money is still money, but now, money seems to have lost its magic in their hands, which is not good.
After shaking hands with the people in the room, everyone sat down.
"Lynch...", Skelder called out tentatively, he found that Lynch did not show any unpleasant expression, even the eyes did not change.
It also gave him a sigh of relief, at least what Lynch said was not polite, but really thought - let him call him by his first name.
In fact, this is more helpful to bring the relationship closer. You can't get closer to an object that needs awe.
"Yes, there are some friends who know what we are doing, they are very sympathetic to what we have been through, and at the same time hope... to be able to do something with us."
"I don't know what to choose, maybe you can give me some advice?"
There are many immigrants, who already occupy a quarter of the population of the Federation, but if it is refined to a certain race, then some races may only occupy a few percent or even a few tenths of the total population of the Federation.
It also means the racial richness of the federal community, now that people like Skelder are "standing up", it doesn't mean that all minorities and immigrants are standing up.
Naturally, some minority people who also have wealthy people hope to make this anti-discrimination movement bigger with Skelder.
At least let the federal people understand that although they are immigrants and minorities, they also have their own ideas and need to be respected!
"Personally I don't have the narrow-minded views of some people. To me, natives, immigrants, and minorities are all federal."
"We are all one, and when you joined this country, we were inseparable from each other."
"I would like to express my personal support for the elimination of such an act that undermines our unity from within, and if you are asking for my personal opinion, I will support you in doing so."
Mr. Skelder breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that. The most troublesome thing about them doing these things was that they didn't have the upper echelons of the Federation to support them.
They make trouble by themselves, and they can't make trouble at all. At first, many people may think that the Federation is an equal, just, and free country.
Only the real life here will understand that all this is false.
If you are ostracized by mainstream groups, the first thing people think about when they see you being hurt is "why are you hurt" and then it extends to "you must have done something wrong", which is scary.
They've had troubles before, and the mainstream media didn't report them, and they couldn't make troubles.
It's just a word from Lynch, just a few phone calls, and it's been a big deal in just a few days.
Let's not say everyone knows it, at least in mainstream cities, these news are starting to catch on and people are starting to pay attention to them.
With such an accurate answer, Skelder has a plan in mind, and he then talks about one of them, who is working on a political solution to the current plight of minorities.
This is also Skelder showing Lynch some information that they are developing in all aspects.
Actually, for Lynch, he doesn't care much about discrimination or non-discrimination.
Only people in the middle and lower classes of society care about this. When it comes to the upper classes, whether they are federal or ethnic minorities, whether they can be valued or not depends entirely on their own values in this society. !
A simple private meeting, met some new friends, and more people joined this massive anti-discrimination movement.
Several friends that Lynch met at Skelder gradually came to the front in the following days, becoming the initiators and even leaders of this anti-discrimination movement!
This is capital!
Every penny paid is for the return of more money!
When these minorities are going to participate in any election, the minority voters in their area will be more inclined to him.
With the help of some people who are too busy to eat and panic, and pin their lifelong ideals on equality, they actually have more political advantages than the natives of the Federation!
People may look at them with scrutiny, but even scrutiny is a concern.
More and more people joining in is good for minorities, but for the president... it's suffering.
His lawyers approached him the day before the second hearing.
The lawyer's expression is a little weird. He has handled many lawsuits, exonerated rapists, and applied for reduced sentences for robbers...
He has done a lot of things that ordinary people don't have a moral stance on, but this time, he was still a little difficult to speak, a little embarrassed.
For about ten seconds, he forced his emotions to calm down, "You admit defeat."
The president didn't hear what he said at first, "Sorry, I was distracted just now, can you say it again?"
The experience during this period is indeed a headache. Some local ethnic minorities have smashed a lot of glass in his home and company these days. He is often woken up in the middle of the night by rocks that fall into his home, and he does not rest well. Well, the whole person looks a little tired.
The lawyer was silent for a while~IndoMTL.com~ You throw in the towel, it's hard for us to win. "
The president did not speak, but looked at his lawyer with a complicated expression, and the lawyer said as if he wanted to defend something, "Some members of Congress have put forward a proposal related to the rights and interests of minorities, you know what this means, Right?"
The president is not a fool. He is the president of the publishing house. In any case, he is also a literate person.
He knows very well that when something rises to the level of a congressional proposal, it means it's no longer easy.
What's more, this time he was on the losing side!
Whether the proposal will pass or not, or needs to be discussed again, in fact, the president has already lost, and the lawyer has no hope.
All this has nothing to do with the law!
The president has been silent, the lawyer is a little anxious, the court is about to start, he whispered and increased his tone, "If you don't plead guilty, no matter how much I defend you, you can't win. On the contrary, it is possible that the judge and the whole society will think that We are trying to escape our sins..."
