Blackstone Code

Chapter 1397: pour cold water on

"I know you!"

Peleus also found a napkin and wiped his hands, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Lynch.

His hands are... plump, which makes his fingers look stubby, but not greasy and soft.

"People say you are the best of the young generation!"

Peleus looks like he is in his thirties, but he is not very clear about how old Lynch is. The Commonwealth sometimes looks old and sometimes looks young, which is very complicated.

However, through the tone of Peleus's words, he could hear that he was a little dissatisfied, but it didn't matter, there were many people who were dissatisfied these days, and Lynch wouldn't care.

He was a little modest, "Thank you for your support!"

Peleus was stunned for a moment. He didn't immediately understand the meaning of Lynch's words. After thinking for two or three seconds, he laughed, "You are more interesting than I thought, Lynch."

"Speaking of which, Truman often mentions you. Sometimes when we have dinner together, he says that you are very smart and proud."

Mr. Truman's family has also been a soldier from the beginning, and it has been passed down from generation to generation from generation to generation. Although the military rank is not very high, there is a chance to be promoted to general when it comes to Truman, but the network in the military is not at all. Not weak.

The military families of this era are often united, and they firmly control the federal army in a way that outsiders cannot understand.

To ensure that this unity will continue, each general will have good relations with other generals.

It's very common to have dinner together, communicate together, etc.

Of course, this refers to their descendants, not themselves. After all, they have different identities and statuses. They are too sensitive to do so, and the media and the public will not be happy.

Lin Qi replied with a smile, "I will invite him to dinner!"

Peleus couldn't help it, and laughed softly, "You are so interesting, Lynch, you are very proud as Truman said, but your pride is not annoying!"

He said after a pause, "Then we continue to eat?"

He didn't seem to want to talk about other things, and Lynch naturally wouldn't disappoint. The two of them ate and talked about some delicious food.

After Lynch said several things that Peleus hadn't eaten, the exchange ended. Neither side had any idea of ​​private exchange, so they separated.

When he returned to Mr. Wardrick, he looked at Lynch with a smile, "Looks like you failed."

Lynch raised his eyebrows, "Why do you say that?"

Mr. Wardrick took it for granted, "You didn't exchange business cards or leave contact information. In fact, many people hope to open some windows from Peleus."

"Their family's influence in the military is too deep. If they can persuade him, it means that they can at least become an important partner of the military."

"But over the years, no one has ever succeeded. He looks fat and stupid. Most people are deceived by his appearance!"

To be able to name "victory", the elders in the family are either generals of the federal army or the navy, uncles, brothers and sisters in the family are almost all officers, or cadres who are related to the army.

Peleus is another descendant of the marriage of two military figures, and he has high hopes even before he is born.

Such people may not be as educated in some respects as the fine details of those big families, but they are definitely not bad.

Since he was a child, many people have revolved around him, because he is fat, and the fat makes him look less intelligent. Many people think that he will be the key to their rise to the upper class.

Unfortunately, no one has succeeded yet.

No matter where he appears, the only thing he does is eat, drink, listen, and he does nothing else.

Even if it is the smallest thing, such as what is delicious and what is not, he will not express his opinion.

It was because he never seemed to have an opinion that many people thought he was getting more and more stupid, but no one could win the trust of him.

So on occasions like today, no one talks to him, and he just eats by himself at the dining table.

Neither can Lynch, in Mr. Wardrick's view.

Lynch smiled without refuting.

He always believed that everyone has weaknesses, desires, needs, and the only question is whether you can find them.

You can't feel that you can't find it just because others can't find it. This is not Lynch's attitude!

The two then communicated about the gathering, and after the cold dinner there was a salon on the theme of free trade at home and abroad.

It's very broad and has no core content, and it's actually not simple.

Lynch saw this after the cold meal was over.

The host is a third-level member, and his badge flashes like fire under the lights, especially the eyes of the True Eye, as if there is really one eye secretly observing the world.

Some industries and companies mentioned by the host, if you do a serious investigation, you will understand that these industries belong to the Duncan family.

When the host talked about a heavy industry company, Mr. Wardrick, who had been silent all the time, suddenly opened his mouth and talked about the recent orders of his heavy factory and the military, as well as the expected development and some plans that can be disclosed.

He talked about the benefits of combined development and some industrial upgrading, which is the most popular topic at the moment.

How can we make some old industries be given new vitality in the new era and let them continue?

Then the host talked about some resources. At this time, Mr. Patou started talking about the future of the resource industry.

It's like...another cold dinner party, people are no longer eating the food on the plates on the cold table, but the Duncan family's property.

They are talking about ways and means of dismembering it, and how to better plunder it to strengthen themselves.

Many people think that the Holy Harmony Society is a very united secret society organization, but it is not.

This is a loose alliance. Everyone exchanges some intelligence information or cooperates together. It does not require all members to be closely united with each other, and does not even limit the interests of members or even fight.

Fights in every sense.

In fact, the most core value of capitalism is also implemented here - the supremacy of interests.

So here, the law of species of nature is also implemented.

It is their destiny to be weak and to be annexed by the powerful.

In the same way, people will not condemn them for doing something wrong because the strong swallows the weak, but only congratulate them for making themselves bigger and less likely to be swallowed by other behemoths!

Without morality, capitalism is after profit and they are not interested in anything but profit.

Everyone is expressing their opinion, only a few are not speaking.

Peleus is one of them, but everyone is not surprised. He is like a microphone for the family behind him, conveying what he heard here, and then letting those generals make a decision.

Lynch didn't speak either, which is surprising. You must know that Lynch is not such a low-key guy. He said a lot of things that have become the foundation of some new disciplines.

For example, "Financial Wars" and the like, have been put forward by many scholars and experts after sorting out their own thinking and understanding, and gradually evolved into a new discipline.

And Lynch, is the founder, no one.

Whether in front of the media, in front of the public, or in private, he always had a lot to say and acted very well in the spirit of federal liberty.

But today he didn't say anything, but instead made many people curious.

The host specially clicked on him, "I noticed that Mr. Lynch was a little shy when he attended our party for the first time, but I believe that everyone is enthusiastic and will help him integrate into us faster..."

Some of the people's chuckles were kind, some were not, and some were malicious.

Not everyone likes Lynch, and not everyone likes his never-fail-forward saga.

The host looked at him, "Do you want to say something?"

Lynch sat on the large sofa, he first nodded to the host, and then told a small story.

"I've heard an interesting story about a group of coyotes on a mountain outside the town. They are numerous and hidden in the woods, and people have nothing to do."

"Then a traveler was passing through town and said he came across a pack of coyotes on the outskirts and they didn't seem to be doing well."

"So people in town started thinking about how to trade these coyotes for some money."

"Some people say that coyote skins can be sold for money, some people say coyote teeth are good collectibles, some people say there is a market for coyote bones and meat, and some people suggest that coyotes can be sold to circuses."

The room was quiet, and no one who could sit here was a fool, and they immediately realized that Lynch was mocking them.

And this is also the biggest difference between real gentlemen and fake gentlemen~lightnovelpub.net~ Even if they knew they were being satirized, they didn't refute angrily, but quietly continued to listen to what Lynch had to say.

If you can't tolerate some of the shortcomings that others find in you, then you will never progress!

People know this!

Lynch pursed his lips and continued with a smile, "Then the people in the town decided to go into the mountains to capture these coyotes, but they didn't think about some issues."

"Did the traveler lie, whether the situation in the mountains was really that bad, and whether the coyotes he saw were what the townspeople thought they were!"

He tidied up his clothes and changed the conversation, "Gentlemen, when we are going to face a pack of hungry wolves, the first thing we have to do is to arm ourselves and be fully prepared."

"At the same time, we must also realize that wolves will not wait to be slaughtered by people, they will always resist!"

"If they resisted, what should the people who entered the mountain do?"

"If you don't want to be clear, if you don't solve these problems, no matter how much we discuss, it will be meaningless!"
