Deceive yourself.
The word came to Lynch's mind when he saw Mr. Simon's outfit. You must know that there was a Nagalil al-Shabaab incident only yesterday, and their slogan seemed to be to expel foreigners.
Actually, if you think about it carefully, this slogan is very subtle. It is not as simple and simple as simply expelling "foreigners".
The Pretton Firm, or the foreigners who settled in Nagalil, had actually become a new, foreign ruling group within the ruling class of Nagalil.
They control Nagalil's import and export trade by holding the right to trade and control the sea. At the same time, they have gained the approval of the ruling class. After deepening the **** between power and wealth, they have become the upper class. new member.
These people are no longer simple foreigners. They actually represent a privilege born out of wealth, or power.
Is it possible to get back what they lost by driving away foreigners?
No, because no matter whether there are these foreigners or not, regardless of the relationship between Preton and the pirates, it is just a simple discussion of trade, commerce, and the market, and this part of power cannot fall into the hands of ordinary people.
Because the people who distribute power and wealth have not changed, the people who hold power in the ruling class have not changed, what they take back from foreigners will be distributed to others in a blink of an eye.
So it's not just what the merchants have to get back, at least not yet.
This is just an awakening, and even to some extent, a foreshadowing for a stronger awakening, a revolt against the ruling class.
Of course, no matter what the purpose of this slogan is, whether it is so far-reaching or not, it actually reflects a problem.
That is, foreigners are always foreigners. They won't just because people like Mr. Simon marry a local woman, have mixed-race offspring, wear local clothes, and follow local customs. They will think that these people are their own people, not foreigners.
Once there is social unrest, these foreigners who have sneaked into the crowd will be caught immediately, and their end will usually not be very good.
"This is my wife, and my children..." He introduced his family to Lynch, and he seemed to love his family.
He wrapped his arms tightly around his wife's shoulders, if his wife's eyes didn't look suspicious, careful, confused...
His other hand held his child's hand tightly, if his child's eyes hadn't flashed some kind of daze and surprise, and something else...
Perhaps Lynch really believed it.
The happiness of a happy person is not manifested, it is a kind of happiness from the inside out, happiness from the inside out.
Neither of them are in sight.
Lynch doesn't pay much attention to these things. He doesn't want to know if the relationship between other people's husband and wife is harmonious. After a simple greeting, Mr. Simon let go.
He looked down at his son beside him, every muscle on his face, every expression on his face was showing a state called "smile", but this smile was indifferent, "I want to talk to Mr. Lynch. Talk about things that adults only know, you can go around, the governor's house is not so easy to come by."
The eyes that couldn't refuse made the joy in the boy's fullness a few seconds ago gradually cooled, and there was no change. He lowered his head and expressed his surrender.
After saying goodbye to Lynch and his parents, the young man left the room.
And Mr. Simon's wife knelt on the edge of the coffee table and started doing what she could.
This is Nagalil, the social status of women is very low, even if a woman is born into a prominent family, it is difficult to change her status in the family.
Maybe her family background allows her to have a higher status than most women, but it is limited to this. The family is the husband's world, and the male dominates everything!
After Mr. Simon sat down for a while, he deliberately opened the conversation, "Mr. Lynch, I didn't expect so many things to happen not long before we last met."
This sentence is his true feelings. The last time he had a conversation with Lynch, he brought an invitation from the Preston firm. In his heart, he didn't even want Lynch to become a partner.
The reason is very simple. The annual output and market of each region are limited. If one more person divides it, each person will pay a little less. Moreover, Lynch is still here, and he will learn from Mr. Simon. More wealth in his pocket than he has taken elsewhere.
These wealth originally belonged to Mr. Simon, and he would definitely not be happy to have an extra person who wants to divide up his profits.
Lynch turned down his invitation and he was a little gloat about it. When he talked to Pretton about it, he added some subjective emotion to convey Lynch's words.
Now that Lynch is sitting here, Mr. Preton is gone, and Preton is a thing of the past, isn't that enough for people to feel emotionally?
Such a huge force, there are still pirates in the outer seas, and if they don't have it, it will be gone.
Lynch just nodded and didn't answer.
Lynch did not speak or express his position, and Mr. Simon became more and more uneasy, "This time the Federation can develop Nagalil on a larger scale, which is a great thing for the local people and us, Mr. Lynch, In fact, I have always advocated for more people to integrate into the group of us foreign businessmen."
"But you know, Preton...he controls a lot of pirate power, and this guy is tough..."
He began to find some excuses to draw a line between his present self and his past self. Looking at his reluctant explanation and uneasy face, Lynch raised his hand slightly, preventing him from continuing to speak.
"Those are all things of the past, Mr. Simon, one cannot live in the glory of the past forever, that will only make it impossible for one to go any further."
"People, you should look forward and talk about your purpose. I believe that you are not here to catch up with me."
Mr. Simon was silent for a while, then said with a self-deprecating smile, "Okay, you see through, Mr. Lynch."
He didn't laugh at this time, but he was not embarrassed or hypocritical, "All of us can see that the Federation has formed some kind of control over Nagalil, and the scale of the joint development company is unprecedented, you know, like I, the people of us, have our main business in Nagalil."
"You see, I'm old, I'm fifty, and I'm not as full of courage as I used to be. I can go out to sea with my luggage and look for opportunities. I don't dare to do that, and I can't do it."
"I hope to keep my business, Mr. Lynch, if I lose my business in Nagalil, I...don't know what to say, I might lose everything and nothing!"
What he said was very sincere, and that was how he, and most foreign businessmen in Nagalil, felt most genuinely at this time.
They can't resist a big trend, confused, overwhelmed, and reluctant to part with their business and profits.
Lynch nodded slightly, he just took out his cigarette case, the lady kneeling on the other side of the coffee table, Mr. Simon's wife, just put her hands on the ground like some kind of animal, using both hands and knees Crawled over, picked up the match on the coffee table, straightened up, and lit a cigarette for Lynch.
Looking at the woman's flattering expression, and the pain hidden behind this expression, Lynch quickly retracted his gaze, another poor woman, but there are too many poor people in this world.
"I can understand your concerns, but don't worry, Mr. Simon, you can also tell the other gentlemen that I and we are not people like Preton, United Development Corporation, nor Preton Firm. A company like that."
"We respect the efforts and achievements of every businessman. We do not rely on plunder to get rich. The Federation has always encouraged the spirit of freedom and justice."
"As long as it complies with local laws, international conventions, and does not involve illegal business, we will not interfere."
"What business you did here in the past, you will still do it in the future."
Mr. Simon didn't show a happy smile when he heard this. He knew that things couldn't be so smooth, or so beautiful.
Lynch's next words confirmed his point.
"But..." Lynch raised his hand to flick the ashtray, and the woman had already held the ashtray by Lynch's hand. He didn't even need to do anything, just flick the cigarette holder.
Lynch's eyes stayed on hers for another second, then continued to look at Mr. Simon, "But I also hope you can understand that a free market means there is bidding and competition, and we won't Interfere in your business, but there will be merchants competing with you."
"The federation hates monopoly very much. Whether it is domestic or foreign, our attitude is the same."
"We congratulate you if you can cut your way through the crowd and prove you're the right person here."
"But if you can't do it, and you've lost the competition with other merchants, I hope you'll understand too."
"You didn't lose to me, the federation or the joint development company, you just lost to yourself."
Lynch seemed to have gotten used to the woman holding the ashtray, and he flicked the ash again, this time he didn't look at it, just flicked it, but he believed that the ash would not spill out.
"The practice of Preton and Preton Firm does not meet the needs of social development~IndoMTL.com~ The lack of competitiveness also makes the local market the same as ten or twenty years ago, and there is no change , even shriveled."
"This is a distorted market, and we're changing the unreasonable rules here, not against whom."
"Including myself, I will not restrict others, not allowing them to run the same business as me, and I will take the initiative to face the competition."
"If you want to escape from the local area because of some environmental changes, it's not necessary!"
Lynch's face has a warmer smile, "Of course if you insist on leaving, that's your choice, I won't object, and I'll be happy because of it."
"Because I'm also a businessman and I don't like competition, but I know I have to face it all the time!"
