"I owe you a favor!"

In the manor hidden in the dense forest, Mr. Patu raised the wine glass in his hand, and his face also had a little smile on his face.

He and Lynch clinked their glasses, and then each took a sip.

Only the two of them and a housekeeper existed for the quiet open-air lunch, and the others were far away from here.

"Try this..." Mr. Patu asked the butler to give Lynch a steak.

The butler brought the steak from the cooking cart in front of the cook in the distance. The steak, the dipping sauce, and some pickles, looked very appetizing.

"It looks great!" After Lynch waited for the steward to stabilize the beef, he picked up the knife and fork and cut off another piece.

The steak is very tender.

It is not the kind of tenderness that is not fully cooked, but the tenderness after it is fully cooked.

The knives and forks did their job almost without much hindrance.

Looking at the steak poked on the fork, it has a beautiful texture and looks very bright. In fact, it has a slightly higher fat content. In addition, some special methods are used in the marinating process to ensure its taste. .

This steak comes from a very special variety, the top ingredients specially prepared for the upper class people, and its price is not cheap.

Even if this selected beef is fully cooked, it will not feel dry or biting.

The fat between the muscle fibers is now translucent, even if it has not been put in the mouth, you can imagine the special mellow and delicious taste of butter.

Dip a bit of sauce and put it in the mouth. The feeling of melting in the mouth made Lynch nodded in satisfaction.

Real tenderness is not the same as some people in the world who pursue tenderness, do not seek methods in ingredients and techniques, but do tenderness of hands and feet in cooking.

Steak, or beef, is graded. There are many grades, ranging from the grade that is not suitable for human consumption to the beef that will not appear in the store.

If the beef is divided into ten grades, the beef used for feed is the first grade, and Lynch eats the tenth grade, then most ordinary households eat about the third to fourth grade beef.

The second level is the kind of ground beef, which is often used to mince meat and make patties.

Whether a person is rich or poor, he will have the desire to pursue enjoyment, and the pursuit of food is one of them.

Now some restaurants, in order to allow ordinary consumers to enjoy the taste of high-quality beef, they start not to fully fry the steak as in the past, but half-cooked.

In this way, it can be well ensured that when the low-grade beef is delivered to the guests, it can be easily cut and eaten, and it also has the taste of this high-end steak.

This is a wrong method, it shouldn't be born, but... ordinary people don't feel much about it.

When an ordinary family makes steak at home, whether it is fried or grilled, it is fully cooked.

Only when they enjoy steaks in the restaurant, they will use unripe steaks, which will give them an illusion that the steaks they enjoy are very high-quality.

This approach can indeed bring a new wave of sales to the restaurant, but it will also cause some unexpected effects.

But...whatever it is, the world is like this, there will always be some unexpected changes.

Lynch swallowed the beef chunks in his mouth and added a small piece of pickled cucumber. The beef was too tender and a bit fat. To be honest, it was a bit greasy to eat. At this time, some pickled cucumbers are very suitable.

"It's delicious!" Lynch commented.

Mr. Patu kept his slight smile on his face, "I like this beef very much. I bought a ranch for it. If you like it, I can ask someone to give you some regularly."

Lynch did not refuse. At the level of both of them, regular delivery of ingredients is not even a "little favor", it is just an attitude.

Seeing that Lynch had no objection, Mr. Patou took the towel and wiped his hands, and lit a cigarette. "Do you know Mr. Wycliffe?"

Lynch also put down the knife and fork. He took a sip of the wine and shook his head, "Sorry, I haven't heard of this person. What does he do?"

"A...", Mr. Patou thought for a while what words would be better to describe this person, and for a few seconds, "...crazy speculators!"

"He does any business, as long as the rate of return is large enough..."

Later, during Mr. Patu's introduction, Lynch gradually learned a little about this Mr. Wycliffe, who was more like a rogue speculator.

His dedication to wealth and returns made him quite famous in certain circles. What is famous is not how precise his investments are or how impressive returns his investments create, but how he does things.

"He likes to anger other people, and then pass his loss on to others. It's okay to be profitable from the business he is targeting. If he loses money, it often makes things very troublesome."

Mr. Patu shook his head slightly, "Brother and sister Charlie's private island was burned to the ground. He did it."

"He is searching all over the world for the whereabouts of Brother Charlie..."

Lynch probably understood what Mr. Patou meant, "Do you think he will trouble me?"

Mr. Patu nodded cautiously, "I don't think he will make trouble for you."

"I heard that he borrowed a lot of money and cash from a lot of relationships this time, and planned to make a fortune, but he ended up smashing it all in his hands."

"He has gone to the trouble of brother Charlie. I think it is very difficult for him to recover the loss. Some people say that he has lost nearly 300 million, of which only about one-tenth is his own. Got it from the place."

"Now he is dragging the pressure of the funder, while trying to get the money together. Before the whereabouts of the Charlie brothers and sisters are exposed, the number of people who can make up for his loss is very limited."

Mr. Patou's meaning is already very obvious. There may be only a few people who want to make a lot of cash in a short time, and Lynch is one of them.

To say that there is no "secret" in the Federation, it may not be long before Lynch's role in the whole thing will be revealed.

At that time, he can easily be regarded by this Mr. Wycliffe as the culprit of his own losses. This is a rogue tycoon, and he is not a capitalist in the traditional sense.

He linked terror and capital together, forming a new form of "terrorist capital", or "violent capital."

In order to recover the loss, he would definitely find ways to trouble Lynch. Mr. Patu's relationship with Lynch is quite good now, and he feels he needs to remind him.

Lynch smiled after listening, "He better not have such thoughts."

This little "reminder" is over, and then Mr. Patu took a deep breath, "How is Anna, I haven't seen her for a while, I heard she is very busy."

Lynch nodded, "I leave everything to her to do the things of the Light of Tomorrow, which can be said to be a kind of exercise for her, of course I can also be lazy."

Mr. Patu nodded, "I have known about Tomorrow Light Investment Company. Your investment company is different from other investment companies. It already has the embryonic form of a consortium, but it is not exactly the same as ours... "

A traditional consortium, or a traditional investment company, is like a magnet. How much capital it has is equal to how much attracting power it has.

Ultimately, its purpose is to control more companies and form a tight monopoly group. From the perspective of this traditional group, every subsidiary is a part of it.

When it is not necessary, it will not be divided easily.

But Lynch’s investment company is different. No subsidiary company is indivisible to it. As long as it has sufficient benefits, it can invest in the subsidiary, promote the listing of the subsidiary and then sell the subsidiary.

Or directly split and package.

In short, as long as it can make money, it will do it. It looks like...not as stable as a traditional investment company.

Once it holds shares in a company, it will continue to hold it. No matter what its operating conditions are, as long as there is no huge trouble that will affect the parent company, it will not easily abandon these subsidiaries.

These subsidiaries firmly grasp the soil like a root system, block the enemy's invasion, and then try their best to provide nutrients to the upper-level companies. This is the composition of the traditional consortium.

In fact, traditional consortia still prefer the physical industry, which is also to strengthen the monopoly or control of the industry.

Subsidiaries can form a complementary relationship with the parent company or other subsidiaries in business, thus forming an ecosystem.

For example, a consortium like Xingmengdie, whose main business is in the management and development of mineral resources, so they have their own smelter, their own transportation system, and their own rough processing plant.

This has formed an industrial ecological chain, which has built upstream and downstream industries around some core industries, and it is more inclined to production.

The investment company that Lynch formed is different. It is more inclined to capital operation and pure financial operation. It seems that it does not have such a heavy precipitation, but in fact it also gets rid of the heaviest burden.

For example, with the development and progress of society and the recovery of the economy, worker wages will become increasingly heavier costs for enterprises in the future.

There are also the R&D costs of innovative companies, etc., which will be heavy expenditures.

Today's Light of Tomorrow does not have more connections with these companies. When the company cannot provide benefits for Tomorrow's Light, it will be ruthlessly abandoned.

There is not so much warmth in the capital world~lightnovelpub.net~ This is bound to be a trend of future development.

This is not to say that the industry is not good enough. On the contrary, it is very necessary and valuable for a large group company to have an excellent and stable industry as a foundation.

In the final analysis, the core of capital is to pursue more profits. Lynch will completely separate industry and capital. The advantage of this is that if necessary, Tomorrow's Investment Company can act as a "middleman" and can do this well. Companies are connected together.

If it is not necessary, or if some accidents occur, both the Tomorrow Light Investment Company and the subsidiaries invested by it can quickly cut off the connection between each other.

It is more variable, more flexible, and more indifferent!

When people talk about the consortium hosted by Mr. Patu, they may think of many affiliated companies that are related to this group of companies.

But when people talk about Lynch and his investment company, the only thing that is impressed is this company!
