Blackstone Code Chapter 274: lazy, arrogant
Mark is interested in most businesses, and he helps the mayor manage the mayor's assets, which of course are not illegal.
In the Baylor Federation, it is not illegal for a politician to have his own business. Many businessmen suddenly feel heavy on their shoulders in the process of doing business, or have some good ideas and want to help more When people get rich, they transform from businessmen to politicians.
They won't have to sell all their properties just because they've become a politician, nor will they stop doing any business because they've become a politician.
In the Baylor Federation, there is no such standard, the only thing that needs to be paid attention to by those who need to change their status is that they can't use the power in their hands for personal gain, that's all.
The mayor handed over his assets to Mark for management mainly to avoid suspicion. It's like people can really defecate here without saying that they can't defecate anywhere on the side of the road.
Although it's not illegal to do so, it always makes people feel a little...
It is much more convenient for Mark to manage on his behalf. At least many times, the mayor can tell the public that they stand on the same position, and can even publish the balance of the deposit in his hidden account to show that he is noble quality.
In the process of managing these assets, Mark will not only get a part of the commission, but also his own money. Mark has indeed made a lot of money over the years. After all, there is such an uncle of the mayor who wants to Failing to invest in Sabine is a very difficult thing to do.
After Lynch came back from Bpein, Mark found him and talked about the recent investment, which he felt was a very suitable investment, of course he still used his own money.
He scraped together some money and put it in. Hart was a very sensible person. He gave Mark a very low price, and he could invest in a house for only 250,000.
After six years, the house can be re-sold to Hart for fifty thousand dollars a set, doubling in six years. This kind of profit has made Mark sink into it, and he also intends to let Lynch Invest with him too.
It's not that he accepted Hart's benefits, but simply a desire to share his successful investing experience, which is common in some social situations.
That's how some inside information leaks out - you say you know, I say I know, and everyone knows!
Lynch turned him down and offered to have a better project on his hands, which brought Mark to his spirits.
"What are you talking about?", but soon he hesitated again, "I'm a little tight right now, you know, I just gave Mr. Hart more than 200,000 in cash. Time can't make up much money!"
Lynch waved his hand, "Money is not a problem, you can listen to my project first, and then think about money..."
After Mark nodded in agreement, Lynch talked about his plan. His plan did not actually involve commercial fraud or the like, but a really good project.
"You know, in a few days the bank will start auctioning off some assets of the Ristoan Group to compensate those who were injured during work and lost their ability to work and live!"
Mark nodded again, he knew about this, and he also participated in it. He invested 100,000 yuan in a charitable private equity fund newly established by Lynch, accounting for 15% of the shares. A private equity fund will win the bid in subsequent tenders, and he knows these things.
Lynch paused for about three seconds, then for about four seconds, and continued, "Nowadays, many families in Sabine are facing huge troubles. As a Sabine entrepreneur with a sense of social responsibility and justice, I decided to take my responsibility."
"I will place orders for families who desperately need work, rent sewing machines to them, and even subsidize some of the materials."
"They just need to produce what I want and they get what they deserve from me, much more money than they would if they worked in a factory!"
Mark is not interested at all in the two sentences in front of him, he doesn't care about social responsibility, what sense of justice, all he has in mind is food, drink, money, and nothing else can distract him. .
From the point of view of a loser, this is also Mark's greatest failure, because he has not yet experienced the struggle, and he has achieved results. He does not need long and hard efforts to taste the sweet wine. The process is not exciting. The result will naturally be flat.
Well, the above sentence is just a relatively decent way of cultivating the meaning of envy, jealousy and hatred, which is a milder way of expressing it.
Mark is really interested in the latter sentence, "Much more money?", his voice raised slightly. "How much is that?"
The corner of Lynch's mouth twitched slightly, "How much effort you put in, you can get as much money as you can, understand what I mean?"
Mark's expression became serious, he straightened his lazy sitting posture, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit a glance, "details!"
“Currently, the federal factories still use the hourly wage system, and workers also enjoy the protection of various laws. They can even be lazy at work and still get the same money as others.”
"It actually doesn't make sense to us because they get what they don't deserve without putting in their hard work."
"But now I have some new ideas, it's called the 'piecework method', these small family-based workshops take money from me based on their actual output, the advantage of this is that if someone is lazy , then they get nothing."
"But you know, Mark, I have a lot to do as a person, and I don't have as much time to take care of the details. I need some partners."
"I'll give you a relatively good price, and then you can leave enough profit margin for yourself before handing these orders to those who need work."
"You helped your uncle and solved the problem that some people don't have a job, they don't go to the city hall all day to demonstrate, their family also relieves the huge economic pressure, and people still have a job. Thank you for your kindness and generosity."
"Everyone will say you're good and you're making money, see what I mean?"
Mark frowned for a while, then nodded slowly, "You mean you outsourced this job to me, and then I'm subcontracting to someone else, and I get some benefit from it? "
Lynch nodded, that's what he meant, but soon Mark shook his head, "Sorry, I'm not very interested in this project, I let you down!"
I'm not too surprised about Mark's rejection of Lynch. Mark is a typical rich man who doesn't rely on himself to get wealth. He doesn't want to do too much practical work, but also wants to enjoy money and power. Privileges that come with status are common household waste.
As a friend Lynch certainly wouldn't say that about him, it's just a way of saying it.
"Since you're not interested, forget it, someone will be interested!" He smiled, but he knew that eventually Mark would come to him.
If the project he invested in Hart's side only used his own money, once Hart did run, it would mean that he lost hundreds of thousands of funds, and he wanted to fill the loophole. He must change his current state of being a picky eater and eat everything, otherwise he will not be able to recover his losses in a short period of time.
If his investment still uses the mayor's money, then he will come to Lynch even more, this is obviously not a business that has been explained by the mayor.
As the business of certain sensitive groups like this, the mayor, as the ruler of the city, should and must understand that this is not where he reaches out.
Well done, people don't appreciate him much, because he **** blood on the poor people, the poor people are already so poor, the mayor will not let them go, it will make the mayor's image become very poor.
If he doesn't do it well, people will not let him go. He will be devastated by criticism from all levels of society, and he will become his own name in the history of York State - notoriety.
After skipping this, Lynch and Mark talked about some of the cooperation they need next.
On the third day after this encounter, the bank was commissioned by City Hall to hold a closed-door auction of some of the Ristoan Group assets in a conference hall of the Sabine Hotel, Lynch said. Also included.
There were a lot of people sitting in the whole hall. Lynch thought that Joe Grimman would keep a low profile and not show any obvious relationship with him, but to his surprise, Joe Grimman sat down as soon as he came up. Beside him, chatted with him.
"Is this okay?" Lynch gave him a cigarette, took the opportunity to light it, and asked him in a low voice, he meant that there were many bank staff here, and they also asked in a low voice. There are some people who are in the auction.
As the organizer of this auction, will Joe Grimman's current behavior trigger unnecessary associations for some people?
I didn't expect Joe Grimman to change his low-key style in the past. He smiled contemptuously, his eyes slowly passing over the faces of some people.
Everyone who was in his sight bowed their heads humbly.
"It's okay, they know what to do!", Joe Grimman, who had been suppressed for half a year, regained his power~IndoMTL.com~ and now he is stronger than before.
Hundreds of bank employees were fired for a variety of reasons. At the quarterly meeting of the Sabine City Bank, these dismissals were characterized as unfit to continue working for the bank, and the risk department also marked them Some are orange to indicate that they are currently working at the risk of causing losses to the bank, and then these people will either move to remote locations or be outright dismissed.
But everyone knows why these people were fired, which also made Joe Grimman flourishing in the Sabine City Jinhui Bank system!
Lynch looked at him, watched the arrogance on his face, and reminded him a little, "Your opponent made the same mistake as yours now, and I don't want you to be next!"
To be honest, this sentence is very rude, and it can even be said that Lynch slapped Joe Grimman, who was proud of the spring breeze, and slapped him on the cheek.
But it was precisely this sentence that made Joe Grimman's expression change a little bit. He became serious, then nodded slightly, and got up and walked back to his seat.
He asked the bank staff around him, "Has anyone seen my lighter?"
