Blackstone Code Chapter 1543: The night before
On the board of directors, Lynch quickly made various arrangements, and the entire group's industry has been adjusted to deal with the war that will break out tomorrow!
This adjustment is very important. Many people think that whether the war breaks out or not has little to do with the direction of the company.
In fact, this perception is very low-level, and the reason is very simple.
Everyone who does export business knows that most of the time, those companies that dispatch orders will require the export companies to pack the goods and transport them to the port designated by the other party for delivery.
The purpose of the company that dispatches the order is actually not to take any risks that may exist in the transportation itself, and they transfer the risk to the exporting company.
During the war, who knows whether the warships cruising the sea are their own or the enemy's.
If you still do it according to the previous method, such as setting the delivery location at the port designated by the other party, you will take too much risk!
These risks include the risk of loss of all products, and the cost is completely sunk.
And the risk of the opposing company filing a claim because they didn't receive the item as contracted and you didn't deliver it.
There are also casualties caused during transportation, pensions and other expenses given by enterprises.
These risks are far from being compensated by the profits of exporting a batch of products.
For example, for some manufacturing industries that rely on imported raw materials or rough-processed materials, there is a great possibility that the supply of raw materials will be interrupted during the war.
If the factory does not have products that can quickly adjust production, then they will first face raw materials that are not produced, claims from dispatching companies, and a lot of labor costs.
So once the war breaks out, enterprises must make various preparations in the shortest possible time.
Blackstone Group has a bit of luck, few companies rely on import and export, maybe some peripheral companies——
For various reasons, some major shareholders cross-share their own company shares and the shares of the group company in proportion.
In this way, they can obtain more shares on the basis of using their own liquidity at a minimum, and at the same time, because of their behavior, the group company has an influence on these peripheral companies.
And with the continuous expansion of the group companies, the strength and power will gradually penetrate into these peripheral companies, turning them into a part of the group.
When Mr. Wardrick left his original group of companies, in order to end these more quickly, he also gave up some of the shares that originally belonged to his company in exchange for the board's maximum permission to do so.
This is also the most common way for capital to eat people. Before you know it, you will be eaten by capital without leaving any slag.
You wake up one day, come to the company fully dressed, and think about how the future will develop and create greatness.
But the board told you that you were fired...
In the Commonwealth, this kind of thing happens every day!
There are import and export companies in the peripheral companies of the Blackstone Group. Given Lynch's operating strategy, he also needs to issue a warning to these peripheral companies and tell them to change their business policies as soon as possible.
It's not just Lynch doing it, many people are doing it, and everyone who does it knows that war is inevitable.
Including those officials from Mariro, and their president!
As Lynch imagined, when the President learned that he had only twenty-four hours and that his call to Mr. Trueman was rejected, he realized that war was inevitable.
Although he was mentally prepared, at this time, his body could not stop shaking slightly.
He prays to their gods that the great beings will hear his humble and devout voice!
He wants him and his country and the people who live here to survive this disaster!
"We should do something!"
The president's prolonged daze made some people lose their breath. The speaker was a young man in his early thirties.
Sometimes the world is really unfair!
In almost any orderly society, the vast majority of people in their early thirties may still be confused about the future.
Because they don't know how they should face the future, nor do they know how to choose between fading dreams and cruel reality.
But there are also some people, when they are in their thirties, they are already standing above 99.9% of the people in this world.
They can't even be described by anyone.
Like this 30-year-old presidential adjutant, he is a student of the old president and can be said to be the "apprentice" of the current president. They all inherit the ideas of the previous president.
Want to make this country rich and powerful.
He thought all this would come slowly and less nervously, but what he didn't expect was that the Federalists' reaction this time was so strong.
Until now, they don't know if this really happened.
Whether a group of stowaways actually attacked the patrol on the border and inflicted heavy casualties, they don't know.
They don't know anything, and 24 hours is not enough time for their investigation team to get to the border from here!
So everyone understands that the Commonwealth never thought about "talking" to them from the beginning, they just wanted war!
The president's eyes regained focus. He glanced at his adjutant and sighed, "What else can we do?"
"The warlords are never at our command, and I don't think they'll be at our command even if we make some demands on them."
"They may already be thinking about how to wag their tails to welcome the Commonwealth!"
"We can only rely on ourselves!"
He didn't say the Pentio, because the Pentio were ultimately unreliable.
The adjutant's lips moved, lowering his voice this time, but the problem was the same.
Gu Yan
"Are...are we really doing nothing?"
In the face of such a big event, he thinks it's really stupid to do nothing.
No matter what you do, you should do something!
The president thought for a while, "Then give them what they want..."
Without waiting for the adjutant to respond, the president asked him to help draft the text——
Only people you trust will let the other party draft for you, which is a sign of trust,
The president looked out the window and gradually warmed up, and there was a hint of spring in the garden, and after a moment of indifference, he said——
"After careful study and consideration, we have decided to follow the wishes of my father, the former president."
"And, following the previous results, transfer ownership of each region to the local armed warlords..."
The adjutant's hand suddenly stopped in mid-air. He glanced at the president, whose eyes were a little cold and unfamiliar.
"As written!"
"Starting today, warlords in each region can establish their own military government agencies to exercise local administrative power in place of the Mariro government!"
"Including, but not limited to, managing local security, collecting local taxes, organizing production and planting..."
The President knows that even if he asks the warlords for help now, the warlords will ignore him.
In war, holding the barrel of a gun in your hand is the most important thing.
There are people who have weapons to feel safe.
So the President never considered from the beginning that these warlords could give up their stereotypes and actively cooperate with the government.
Since they can't do it, give them a reason to fight, at least for themselves!
After this order was released from the presidential palace, it was basically an announcement that the Mariro government was on the verge of its demise.
But he has to try, in case... it works?
After saying all the words, he looked tired and waved his hand, "Get organized, I'm going to give a national speech..."
Although Mariro doesn't have a wide coverage TV network, radio is still everywhere.
His speech will be broadcast on the radio to ensure nationwide coverage in a short period of time.
After more than two hours, he arrived at the highest radio station in the presidential palace, where there is a radio station for the whole country.
Rarely used.
The people don't care what the big president or the central government of Mariro has to say far away from their lives, that is too far away from them and has nothing to do with their lives.
The warlords also don't like to hear it, because no matter what policy adjustments the central government makes, it has nothing to do with them.
If they feel satisfied, they will obey, for example, when they can get some money from the central government.
What they feel dissatisfied with, such as raising the tax rate, they pretend they don't know, they don't even pay the tax!
So rarely used.
The president sat in front of the microphone. He looked at the old microphone and cheered up.
A few minutes ago, his adjutant had been giving uninterrupted notices, so at this time in Mariro, many people had already adjusted the frequency.
He took a deep breath. "Good evening, everyone from Marillo."
"I'm your president... and just now I was thinking about what I should say."
"As I sit here I realize I don't have much to say!"
"I don't know you, just like you don't know me."
"Here we can't understand each other for various reasons, which are caused by history, era and other reasons."
"It's not what we're talking about today, it's about our future!"
"Invasion from the Federals!"
"They've been thinking about hacking us~IndoMTL.com~ since my father's time."
"They used to hide their faces, but now they don't."
"They gave me an impossible task, and then they would invade our country and occupy our territory while blaming us."
"I never thought anyone should do something for whom at the cost of their lives."
"Whether you choose to flee here or fight for our country, it is your choice, and no one can accuse you of anything."
"Just, before you make a decision, I hope you will be careful!"
"Whether it is to leave or to resist them, please consider it carefully."
"Because we won't have the same opportunity to make such a choice again, and after tomorrow, there won't be any more!"
"I'll be here with those who fought for Marillo until the last minute!"
