Blackstone Code Chapter 1399: Cooperation again
On Tuesday mornings the following week, Lynch was invited to Mr. Patou's estate.
Lynch gave him enough time to prepare gifts for himself, and this time Mr. Patou went to the door to greet Lynch himself, followed by some important members of the family, including the first generation of the next generation. an heir.
Of course, not Anna.
Anna lacks the ability and guts to be the next generation heir, although her stake in Lynch Private Equity is arguably a great deal in the long run.
But for the family, this is not the best choice.
Any large family faces the same problems after its heyday.
The first question is, how to find the upward passage again, so that the strength of the family can be improved again.
The second question is how to stop the overall trend of falling and let the family completely stabilize.
Anna can't, her performance is far from what Mr. Patou wants, so she is also excluded from the status of first heir.
Mr. Patou introduced some of the important members to Lynch, which is also the hope that Lynch, or that they can have more contact with Lynch.
This is also one of the ways in which people's networks are formed, and the most important way, inheritance!
Of course it's just "one", there are more methods besides inheritance, which is also called "polymorphism".
The group entered the manor, and those people dispersed, leaving only one person older than Lynch beside Mr. Patou to serve them.
This guy is Mr. Patou's son. He's thirty-five or six years old this year. It's just that he has a good life, has no troubles, and is well-maintained, so he looks younger.
They didn't go directly to any indoor room, but went to the horse farm behind the manor. Mr. Patou said that he would give Lynch a gift, and his gift was a horse.
"Do you like horseback riding?", Mr. Patou asked.
Lynch thought for a moment and gave a somewhat ambiguous answer, "I don't ride a lot, but I don't hate it."
Mr Patou had a little more smile on his face, "That's great, I've found a good horse with a very good bloodline, its parents, grandmother and grandfather, including the bloodline going back further. , are top-notch in this field.”
"It gave me a very special feeling when I saw it."
"Healthy, strong, and running like a bolt of lightning!"
"If I could be thirty years younger... no, twenty, I wouldn't give it away!"
It can be seen that Mr. Patou really likes this horse very much. In fact, most nobles will like horses.
In Gafra, every nobleman may have a variety of different hobbies, some like this, some like that, but when it comes to horses, almost everyone likes horses, likes to keep horses, likes to ride them, I also like horse racing.
Every noble family has its own horse farm, as well as three or five horses, as many as a group of horses.
Because the horse is a very important part of the aristocratic culture, having a good horse means that the chasing troops can't catch up with you when you are defeated, and it will also make you look more powerful.
This habit from the Middle Ages has always been preserved, and even became an instinct.
It is not surprising that the Arkin family, which claims to be descended from nobles, has such a tradition.
Only in the Commonwealth, people are far less fanatical about horses than the Gefrans are!
At least until now, there are no high-level horse racing competitions in the Federation. Many horse racing competitions are spontaneously organized by the people or local governments.
It's true that some cities in the west and north have them, but the atmosphere...that's it.
The two of them came to a stable, a single-family stable, just from its appearance, it was more beautiful and more luxurious than the houses for the middle class in most middle-class neighborhoods.
Of course the same is true inside.
When the door of the stable is opened, you can feel a cool breeze, but this cool breeze is not the cool breeze of the air conditioner, but a cool breeze formed by the natural flow of the wind in the shady space.
It blows slowly and can dissipate the heat from the body.
The beautiful stables are very large, there are places for horses to play, there are places for horses to bathe, and there are places for horses and jockeys to interact...
And Lynch saw at least four servants serving the horse.
People always say that human life is precious, but for some reason, human life is sometimes inferior to that of animals, which is ridiculous!
The three went inside and saw the horse Mr. Patou said, a very strong horse, a black horse.
The fur on its body is like satin, and every hair can be seen reflecting the luster of light, which is also a manifestation of the horse's health.
He shook his head when he saw Mr. Patou, and continued to eat feed, which wasn't much cheaper than beef.
"Relax, it's friendly to people..."
Mr. Patou led Lynch into the fence, "You can try to touch it and feel it..."
As Lynch's palm stroked the horse's body, the heat in his palm caused the dark horse to look back at him, and soon turned back.
"Did you feel it?", Mr. Patou asked Lynch, who nodded, and he asked again, "What is that?"
Lynch withdrew his hand, "Power!"
"Yes, power!", was very pleased with Lynch's answer to Mr. Patou, because that was what he wanted to show.
A healthy horse that can feel the terrifying power within it just by enchanting it!
The horse cost Mr. Patou almost 1.2 million and it's still young.
For those in the middle and lower classes, they may feel that Mr. Patou has a problem with his brain, which is why they spend so much money on such a horse.
But in fact, for people who like horses and have money, this transaction is very good, as long as it can prove their excellence, the life essence of this horse can even be sold by gram in the future, and every gram are very expensive!
But now, it's Lynch's.
Originally, Lynch had no interest in horseback riding, and the federal transportation environment did not use horses. Whether in cities or in rural areas, there were abundant traffic roads.
It's not like Gavra, some of the out-of-the-way places are still old dirt, at least for horseback riding.
But at this moment, Lynch thinks otherwise.
Anything, as long as it is extremely good, even if it is nothing special in itself, is attractive enough!
He didn't refuse, but just thanked the people who arranged to receive the horse and the people who served it later. After all, Lynch didn't have his own horse farm and related facilities, so he had to find someone to build a horse farm for him.
If you have a horse, you can't keep it **** in the stable, you have to pull it out and run.
The three returned to the room, Mr. Patou's son brought them fruit and coffee, and Mr. Patou talked about what happened after the gift.
"I seriously thought about what you said when we got together last week. I think I missed an important moment."
He refers to the "Security Law". When the "Security Law" was first established, there was no threshold. This was also to facilitate the Duncan family to quickly form their own private armed forces.
But then the Security Law was put in place to prevent the proliferation of private armed forces.
Although the article states that the "Security Law" is to protect the property safety and life safety of foreign federal citizens, the passed bill is aimed at the purpose of allowing the people to provide armed protection for themselves when the federal government has no time to spare.
But those armed men from abroad have returned to China, so aren't they armed men?
No, give them weapons and they'll be militants in no time, the trained kind.
So the law was quickly "amended", adding a lot of barriers.
The reason that the Ajiner family didn't form a security company is because they don't have needs. They actually have needs, but they already have their own way, which is the mine protection team.
Their mine guards are, in a sense, their armed forces.
But this kind of armed force is very different from the armed force of security companies.
Mine Protection Team, as its name makes clear, this thing can only operate in the **** mines, at most with transport vehicles.
Beyond these limits they become illegal.
But security companies are different, they are legal everywhere!
It was too late when Mr. Patou reacted, but he didn't feel bad if it was too late. Anyway, the basic business of the Arkin family was on the development of natural resources.
He didn't regret it until last week when he suddenly realized that in addition to their connections, the wealth they had, and whatnot, armed forces were also important factors that limited people's actions against the Duncan family.
However, as an old-fashioned capitalist and the head of a big family, he will not show his regrets, which will only damage his majesty.
He regretted his misjudgment, and Lynch just nodded and didn't continue.
I can't make a statement just because you gave me a good horse. Who can't have this kind of money?
Furthermore, Mr. Patou made a lot of money last time, and he didn't take this money seriously~IndoMTL.com~ Seeing that Lynch didn't make a statement, Mr. Patou went a step further, "We last time It's been a pleasure working together, and I think we can work well together on the Duncan family issue this time."
"3.7 percent of the Duncan family's property in the Commonwealth is in the resources sector, and they own two of the five largest oil fields in the Commonwealth, which provide them with ample cash flow."
"If you want to do it, I can try to suppress them at least temporarily in this regard."
Lynch of the Duncan family has also done a lot of data collection during this period, and oil is indeed a very important link.
How to say this thing, as long as the crude oil is mined, some companies are willing to spend money to buy it back.
There is no problem in the oil field. It is basically unrealistic to simply use capital means to suppress the Duncan family.
They are too rich.
Because of this, they are now remembered!
Lynch thought for a while, "What are you going to do?"
