Blackstone Code Chapter 1542: Enough shit!
"I see..."
Lynch sat down for a while after hanging up, then picked up the phone again, he wanted to make a call to Mr. Trueman, but then hung up again.
Calling at this time is obviously not a smart choice. Even if you know the answer to something, you shouldn't say it.
There are many people who pretend to be smart, and these people often don't have very good results.
There are very few people who pretend to be stupid, but these people often don't get any benefits in the end, but they won't suffer any losses.
War...breaks out!
Just now, Mr. Wardrick called Lynch and told him that the Ministry of Defense had loaded all the more than 20 Tank 1s in his warehouse and shipped them away. He will complete the remaining orders as soon as possible.
This time, instead of making any installments, the Ministry of Defense paid all the costs at once.
He felt that this incident seemed a bit unexpected, and in principle, the Ministry of Defense did not have anything to criticize.
After all, they paid for things and signed contracts, and now they take their things away without any legal issues.
But their expressions seem to be hiding something.
In fact, Mr. Wardrick himself knew exactly what this meant, he just...he couldn't believe it.
War is breaking out!
If it does break out, it will be on TV soon.
Lynch turned the TV on and switched to Bpein's Local Channel 1, which was considered a semi-official "official" channel.
Due to the limitations of current science and technology, the transmission of TV signals is a problem. In addition to local live broadcasts, live broadcasts between regions are actually broadcast.
If Mr. Trueman had anything to say, he would appear first on Bpein's news channel, and then go nationally in the evening.
The hosts on the TV are still laughing about the topic of war that seems to be far away from us. In fact, most people do not think that the war will break out in the first half of this year.
The reason is actually nothing, probably because everyone is not ready, the so-called "Declaration of War" is more like a kind of intimidation.
There was no disturbance in the morning.
At half past one in the afternoon, when Lynch was about to sleep for a while, the show was suddenly canceled and the press conference at the Presidential Palace appeared instead.
Mr. Truman stood on the podium, his face was very serious, and a considerable number of news media gathered at the scene.
Lynch also saw reporters from Black Market TV and Vanguard...
"Just now, our Border Patrol team in Marillo was attacked again, in which seventeen heroic patrol members were wounded or killed."
"The government and people of Mariro have been challenging our patience and bottom line on border issues during this period of time, trampling our desire to protect peace time and time again."
"This is the greatest harm to us and the greatest harm to the cause of peace in the world."
"We have tried to resolve these issues peacefully through diplomatic and political means, but it seems our neighbors see our tolerance as weakness!"
"When we can't bear it anymore, we shouldn't give in anymore!"
"In the name of the first president of the Federation, for the sake of peace, and for those who are threatened with injuries and even death on the border, I want to ask the Mariro government for an explanation!"
"If the Mariro government cannot give us a satisfactory answer within 24 hours, we will declare war on Mariro!"
"The hurt, the pain they inflicted on us, we will repay it exponentially!"
The entire Bupen seemed to have fallen into some kind of eerie silence at this moment, and then the stock market, known as the "Federal Weather Watch", began to vibrate violently.
Military industry stocks, heavy industry stocks began to climb rapidly, some stocks related to Mariro, and international light industry trade stocks began to decline significantly.
Bopeen's stock market is the most honest place, it's like a woman, as long as you can read it, it won't hide anything from you!
The growth of military and heavy industry stocks is because these companies have a close and inseparable relationship with the war. Once the war breaks out, it means that these companies will be able to get a large number of orders.
And the export trade, especially the export of light industrial products, will cause great problems in sales and transportation because of the war.
Transportation becomes unsafe, and businesses risk losing money.
Whether the delivery location is placed abroad or transferred from abroad to China, there are unavoidable huge risks for both sides of the trade, and companies that rely on export trade in a short period of time will encounter some setbacks.
After the war situation becomes "clear" to a certain extent, and a safe trade route is delineated, it will pick up.
Actually, there are no so-called safe trade lanes at all, it's just that there will be more naval patrols around these lanes.
The reaction of Bupen's stock market soon began to sweep outward, not only domestic but also international futures were seriously affected.
The prices of various materials began to skyrocket, and people hoped to get more materials before the war to avoid the lack of raw materials to produce commodities during the war.
More and more airwaves join the ranks of sharing these "information", and more and more people realize that the war has really broken out!
Valley
As a newly emerging consortium in the Federation, the Blackstone Group naturally held an urgent meeting.
Lynch came a little later, and before he came, everyone was talking about what was going to happen next.
Most people don't have panic or anxiety on their faces, just a kind of curiosity and excitement!
Yes, excited!
For these capitalists, the war will accelerate the growth of the consortium, and a large number of military industrial orders can allow the consortium to obtain "growth" in a short period of time that may only be obtained decades outside the war!
As soon as Lynch came in, the raucous discussions ceased immediately.
"Mr. Chairman..."
People greeted Lynch, who also smiled and sat in his chair of the board.
"Actually, these are quite sudden for me."
He wasn't nervous at all when people looked at him, he even seemed relaxed, which made everyone else feel lighter.
A role model has such a magical effect!
His words, his actions, can affect other people.
He smiles as if it's just a small thing.
"I thought the same as everyone at first, thinking that the war would not start until the second half of the year, but we all know that it has already broken out..."
Someone raised his hand at this time, and Lynch raised his chin slightly to give the guy a chance to speak.
The man bowed slightly to thank Lynch for allowing him to speak, and then asked a question, "Mr. President's speech has a final 24-hour ultimatum, Mr. President, is it possible that there is none at all?"
What he means is "Isn't there any chance of avoiding the war", and sometimes speaking does not need to be so clear.
Lynch shook his head, "What can you do in twenty-four hours?"
"They probably don't know who, when, and why they attacked our patrol. From the very beginning, the Presidential Palace did not consider continuing to tolerate it."
"As Mr. President said, we are always backing down, not because we are weak, but because we are not willing to wage war easily."
"But now that some people see our retreat as our weakness, this war is unavoidable."
"So don't think about twenty-four hours, you can think of it as a countdown to the official outbreak of war."
"Any questions?"
The questioner shook his head, while many more seemed to want to understand something.
Yes, nothing can be done in twenty-four hours, and war will inevitably break out.
Lynch then continued to say, "At present, the overall structure of our consortium does not have much to adjust. We will continue to do the work of industrial incubation, and at the same time, more resources will be directed to industries involving military industry." /
"For example, Blackrock Airlines, its sequence is now upgraded to the first place, as long as it has demand, we will maximize everything it needs!"
There is no objection to this change.
Blackstone Airlines is Blackstone's most profitable business at present, with two major orders totaling more than $3 billion.
Of course, this is the total amount. It is not allocated at one time, but is given in batches, but even this is an astonishing figure every year, accounting for 6% of the group's revenue. More than ten!
Give the green light to such a money printing machine, of course.
"Besides, companies related to transportation mentioned the second sequence. As the whole society becomes a huge war machine, the demand for logistics and transportation will become heavier and heavier."
"In addition to meeting the needs of our group company, I also hope to use this opportunity to spread the transportation and logistics capabilities of the group company."
The person in charge of the Blackstone Group team nodded ~IndoMTL.com~ and wrote Lynch's words in a small notebook.
Lynch also saw this move, and he pointed with a smile, "Later, your department will be independent from the group company and set up Blackstone Transportation, is there any problem?"
The person in charge of that department was stunned for a moment, followed by a look of joy.
The head of the department, even if he sits on the board of directors, is a senior worker in the final analysis.
It's not even a senior. The real seniors are those shareholders, and he only holds some incentive shares, which belong to the senior partners, and none of these actually belong to him.
But if an independent company is established, if his position is not adjusted, he will be the general manager and chairman of the board. The incentive shares he currently holds will be converted into branch shares in proportion!
He will truly hold this part of the shares and truly reach the pinnacle of his life!
"Sir, I promise to get the job done!"
As soon as I get excited, even the words and sentences have some "flavor" of war!
