Blackstone Code Chapter 854: The shark is here again[18/?]
The fact that Lynch had set up a factory to make planes spread quickly in Bupen, and soon more people knew about it.
He is now a "star" businessman, officially known as a capitalist.
This is actually not a shameful thing. From the longing faces of employees who have dedicated their youth to the capitalists when they talk about their bosses, you can feel the country's desire for capital and wealth.
So rich people are the real stars. If he does anything, even if he doesn't even think about promoting it in the past, someone will know about it soon.
This time, it is Mr. Patou who is interested in this matter.
Xingmengdie is a large-scale comprehensive consortium whose core business is the exploitation of natural resources, whether it is oil, various metal deposits, or plants, as long as it exists on the earth, it is all in them within the scope of business.
In addition to these, the others are also covered slightly, but not deep enough.
This is also an inevitable phenomenon in the development of every world and every era. A batch of industries that have been monopolized by some people cannot be intervened by latecomers. They will either be killed by the wall that is higher than the sky, or Create your own future.
The same is true for the arms industry. Those large comprehensive arms groups firmly control this lucrative and violent industry from top to bottom.
Outsiders can't get in at all.
The weapons and equipment they produce have become the replacement equipment designated by the Ministry of Defense and the military for many years, and the things produced by the latecomers can only be sold to ordinary people.
How big a market can ordinary people have? This is not an era when everyone can eat enough.
Instead of buying a weapon and leaving it unused, consider other ways to improve your life, except for robbers.
I can't get in, and I'm jealous of the profits here.
Everyone is always like this.
Until an opportunity arises.
"Good evening, Baron Lynch"
"Good evening, Count Patou!"
Watching Mr. Patou's meticulous aristocratic style really brought Lynch back to what it felt like at Gavra.
But there's always something strange about Patu, something that's hard to describe, a display of momentum, something he lacks more than a true aristocrat.
The simplest comparison is between him and the little earl. Both are earls. According to Mr. Patou, the ancestors of the Arkin family were also hereditary earls, who fled to the Commonwealth because of noble wars and struggles.
Evidently both of them are earls, but their aura is a bit different. Mr. Patou's aura is much worse than that of the young earl.
This may have something to do with the rumors surrounding the Arkin family. There are always some people who say that the ancestor of the Arkin family was actually a servant of the nobles. He murdered the nobles and replaced the nobles.
It is precisely because there are so many such rumors, some of which are very detailed, that it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false, so that they themselves may have doubts about their identities.
When there is doubt, that quality of steadfastness is lost.
One doubts whether he is the real Earl, and one never doubts himself, this is perception.
Probably that's one of the reasons why those rumors haven't gone away.
Hearing that Lynch called himself "the Earl", Mr. Patou's mouth turned up slightly. After all, no one knew whether his nobleman was real or not, but Lynch was a real nobleman.
Approval from the noble's "peer", which is more confirmation of his identity than the ridicule of others.
This is an informal visit and a small gift is required, whether it is an official visit or not.
"This is a pastry I made by myself, I hope you like it!", Anna handed Lynch a small package, which exuded a strong milky fragrance, which should be the taste of butter.
It was about two-thirds of a pound. Lynch glanced at it. They were all cute bear biscuits. At this time in the Federation, things related to bears were popular.
"It smells good, I'll definitely try it when I'm free, thank you!"
He handed the biscuits to the maid, and then led the two into the study. Mr. Patou must not come to watch TV, he must have something to do.
After entering the study, Anna took the place of the maid. Mr. Patou sat on the chair opposite Lynch. He adjusted a comfortable posture and started today's conversation.
"I heard you sold the plane to the Department of Defense."
Lynch nodded, without denying, "Yes, they are optimistic about this project."
"But Congress hasn't approved it, right?", Mr. Patou added.
Lynch also nodded again, "Yes, there are still some people who are a little uncertain about the prospects and future of the aircraft, after all, this is not a small amount, they must always treat it carefully, after all, it is the taxpayer's money. "
"I understand that no one wants our money to be used where it shouldn't be."
Anna couldn't help but smile as she stood aside. For some reason, she wanted to laugh when she watched Lynch open her eyes and talk nonsense. She thought it was funny.
It may be that Lynch was too serious when he lied, so serious that people suspected that he was not lying, but Anna knew the truth.
Mr. Patou nodded approvingly, "I can solve these problems."
Lynch looked at him calmly, "What do you want from me?"
His words made Mr. Patou frown slightly, as Lynch put himself in a higher position, using "you want" and "get", which is a kind of pleading terms.
Plus he's now offering to help, it's more like he's offering to do it in exchange for Lynch's charity in some way.
That's true, but it's not pleasant in the end.
It can even be guessed that Lynch already knows what he wants.
Once again, the feeling of not being able to grasp the big picture in the face of the same level of capitalists began to emerge quickly, and this feeling of not being able to grasp the overall situation was very unfriendly.
He frowned quickly, "I'm very interested in airplanes, do you have any ideas to accept some investors' investment?"
He is trying to change the current situation of the dialogue between the two, some simple and inconspicuous words are quietly playing a role.
"Mr. Patou, in fact, people like you and me are never short of money, but we need to follow the rules of the market, I won't sell too many shares to one person, I hope you can understand. "
His expression had a look of regret in pride, but of course he was telling the truth.
That's the way the Commonwealth's capital game is, and everyone must follow it, including the Duncan family.
As long as you want to use the rules to plunder nourishment from other people's flesh and blood, then you must open your arms to other people first.
As for whether they can take away the nourishment from you, it depends on whether you have the ability to defend your own rights, but you can't refuse to open your arms because you are afraid of losing.
According to federal financial rules, the market value of Lynch's aircraft factory will inevitably exceed the "100 million" level.
For anti-monopoly and anti-financial crimes, either listing is subject to the monitoring of the entire capital market, or all businesses are stopped and self-splitting and degrading.
This is how federal finance works. Everyone faces this problem and everyone has to choose!
Some people may choose to self-degrade, for example, splitting every link of a factory into an independent factory, splitting a factory with a market value of 100 million into ten factories with a market value of 10 million.
It seems that the "listing principle" is effectively avoided. What can I do later?
Continue to split?
There will always be a day when it can't be demolished. At that time, once the rules are accepted and listed, the speed of collapse will be faster!
Because there are too many places to take into account, it is impossible to grasp every place so firmly.
All consortiums in the Federation are listed companies. These capital predators abide by this rule. Those who are not as good as them want to fail to abide by it, and the end will only be miserable.
Lynch doesn't intend to challenge the capital environment of the entire federation. Even if he is really not satisfied, he will not refuse. This is the rule.
When you are unable to resist, it is best to choose a position that is comfortable for you.
"If I can ~IndoMTL.com~ I hope to get no less than 20% of the shares, and the price is negotiable." As Lynch said, it has become money for many people's life difficulties, for them It's not a problem at all.
He didn't even ask the price, all he cared about was how many shares he could get.
Lynch shook his head, "Twenty percent is too much, and there must be many other people to join in the follow-up. If each of you takes too much, it will reduce my shareholding ratio. "
Mr. Patou quickly added, "I can compensate you in other ways, such as solving some of the troubles you are facing, and increasing the market value."
He wants to keep his 20% stake, and he is very willing.
Lynch was about to persuade him to take a step back when the phone rang.
He apologized and answered the phone.
Mr. Patou took the initiative to leave here, walked to the far window, and chatted with Anna in a low voice.
As the call progressed, Lynch's expression became a little weird. The caller was Mr. Wardrick. He invited Lynch to go to the Spring Hunting in two days, but the information revealed between the lines was also related to his plane. .
This news cannot be concealed. Two hundred, thirty million, two thousand is three hundred million. The Federation is so big and the world is so big. It is impossible for two thousand planes to be sold.
And the war that is bound to break out in the future is bound to push some things related to the war to a very terrifying peak. At that time, this company may become an upstart in the military industry.
We all know that the easiest way to break through the solidified industry barriers is to open up a new way.
Lynch and his planes are undoubtedly the best in this area, and they have been able to see huge profits, and these predators will definitely not give up.
