Blackstone Code

Chapter 1399: cooperate again

The following Tuesday morning, Lynch was invited to Mr. Patou's estate.

Lynch gave him enough time to prepare gifts for himself, and this time Mr. Patou went to the door to greet Lynch in person, followed by some important members of the family, including the first heir of the next generation.

Of course, not Anna.

Anna lacks the ability and guts to be the next generation heir, although her stake in Lynch Private Equity is arguably a great deal in the long run.

But for the family, this is not the best choice.

Any large family actually faces the same problems after its heyday.

The first question is how to find the upward channel again, so that the strength of the family can be improved again.

The second question is how to stop the overall trend of falling, so that the family can be completely stabilized.

Anna can't, her performance is far from what Mr. Patou wants, so she is also excluded from the status of the first heir.

Mr. Patou introduced some of the important members to Lynch, which is also the hope that Lynch, or that they can have more contact with Lynch.

This is also one of the ways in which interpersonal networks are formed, and the most important way, inheritance!

Of course it's just "one", there are more methods besides inheritance, which is also called "polymorphism".

A group of people entered the manor, and those people dispersed, leaving only one person older than Lynch beside Mr. Patou to serve them.

This guy is Mr. Patou's son. He is thirty-five or six years old this year. It's just that he lives a good life, has no troubles, and is well maintained, so he looks younger.

They did not go directly to any indoor room, but went to the horse farm behind the manor. Mr. Patou said that he would give Lynch a gift, and his gift was a horse.

"Do you like horseback riding?" asked Mr. Patou.

Lynch thought about it for a while and gave a somewhat ambiguous answer, "I don't ride many times, but I don't dislike riding."

Mr. Patou had a little more smile on his face, "It's great, I found a good horse, with a very good bloodline, its parents, grandmother and grandfather, including the blood relationship going back, in this Top notch in the field.”

"When I saw it, it gave me a very special feeling."

"Healthy, strong, and like a bolt of lightning when you run!"

"If I could be thirty years younger... no, twenty years old, I wouldn't be willing to give it away!"

It can be seen that Mr. Patou really likes this horse very much. In fact, most nobles will like horses.

In Gafra, every nobleman may have a variety of different hobbies, some like this, some like that, but when it comes to horses, almost everyone likes horses, likes to keep horses, likes to ride, and likes to race horses .

Every noble family has its own horse farm, as well as three or five horses, as many as a group of horses.

Because horses are a very important part of aristocratic culture, having a good horse means that when you lose a battle, you can't catch up with you, and it will also make you look more mighty.

This habit left over from the Middle Ages has always been retained, and has even become an instinct.

It is not surprising that the Arkin family, which claims to be descended from nobles, has such a tradition.

It's just that in the Commonwealth, people are far less fanatical about horses than the Gefrans are!

At least until now, there are no high-level horse racing competitions in the Federation, and many horse racing competitions are spontaneously organized by the private sector or local governments.

For example, some cities in the west and north do have them, but the atmosphere...that's it.

The two talked and came to a stable, a single-family stable, just from its appearance, it was more beautiful and more luxurious than the houses for the middle class in most middle-class communities.

Of course it's also inside.

When the door of the stable is opened, you can feel a cool breeze, but this cool breeze is not the cool air of the air conditioner, but a cool breeze formed by the natural flow of the wind in the shady space.

It blows slowly and can blow away the heat from the body.

The beautiful stables are very large, there are places for horses to play, there are places for horses to bathe, and there are places for horses to interact with jockeys...

And Lynch saw at least four servants serving the horse.

People always say that human life is precious, but for some reason, human life is sometimes inferior to that of animals. This is so funny!

The three walked inside and saw the horse Mr. Patou said, a very strong horse, a black horse.

The fur on its body is like satin, and every hair can be seen reflecting the luster of light, which is also the performance of the horse's health.

It shook its head when it saw Mr. Patou, and went on to eat feed, which wasn't much cheaper than beef.

"Don't worry, it's friendly to people..."

Mr. Patou took Lynch into the fence, "You can try to touch it and feel it..."

When Lynch's palm stroked the horse's body, the heat in his palm made the dark horse look back at him, and soon turned back.

"Did you feel it?" Mr. Patou asked Lynch, who nodded and asked again, "What is that?"

Lynch withdrew his hand, "Power!"

"Yes, power!", was very satisfied with Lynch's answer to Mr. Patou, because that was what he wanted to show.

A healthy horse that can feel the terrifying power within it just by enchanting it!

The horse cost Mr. Patou almost 1.2 million and it is still young.

For those in the middle and lower classes, they may think that there is something wrong with Mr. Patou's brain, which is why they spend so much money on such a horse.

But in fact, for people who like horses and have money, this deal is very cost-effective, as long as it can prove their excellence, the life essence of this horse can even be sold by the gram in the future, and every gram is very good. expensive!

But now, it's Lynch's.

Originally, Lynch had no interest in horseback riding, and the federal transportation environment did not require horses. Whether in cities or in rural areas, there were abundant traffic roads.

It's not like Gafra, some of the more remote places are still the old dirt, at least there is a need for horseback riding.

But at this moment, Lynch thought otherwise.

Anything, as long as it is excellent to the extreme, even if it is nothing special in itself, it is enough to attract people!

He did not refuse, but just thanked the people who arranged to receive the horse and the people who served it. After all, Lynch did not have his own horse farm and related facilities, so he had to find someone to build a horse farm for him.

If you have a horse, you can't keep it tied to the stable, you have to pull it out and run.

The three returned to the room, Mr. Patou's son brought them fruit and coffee, and then Mr. Patou talked about what happened after the gift.

"I seriously thought about what you said when we got together last week, and I think I missed an important moment."

He was referring to the "Security Law". When the "Security Law" was first established, there was no threshold. This was also to facilitate the Duncan family to quickly form their own private armed forces.

But then the "Security Law" was set up a threshold, and this is to prevent the proliferation of private armed.

Although the article states that the "Security Law" is to protect the property safety and life safety of foreign federal citizens, the passed bill is aimed at the purpose of allowing the people to provide armed protection for themselves when the federal government has no time to spare.

But those armed men from abroad have returned to China, so aren't they armed men?

No, give them weapons and they'll be militants in no time, the trained kind.

So the law was quickly "amended", adding a lot of thresholds.

The fact that the Ajiner family did not form a security company is not because they do not have needs. They actually have needs, but they already have their own way, which is the mine protection team.

Their mine protection team is, in a sense, their armed force.

However, this kind of armed force is still very different from the armed force of security companies.

The Mine Protection Team, from its name, makes people understand that this thing can only operate in the mining area, at most with transport vehicles.

Beyond these limits they become illegal.

But security companies are different, they are legal everywhere!

By the time Mr. Patou reacted, it was too late, but he didn't feel bad if it was too late. Anyway, the basic business of the Arkin family was on the development of natural resources.

He didn't regret it until last week when he suddenly realized that in addition to their connections, the wealth they had, and whatnot, armed forces were also important factors that limited people's actions against the Duncan family.

However, as an old-fashioned capitalist and the head of a big family, he will not show his regrets, which will only damage his majesty.

He regretted his wrong judgment, and Lynch just nodded and didn't continue.

I can't make a statement just because you gave me a good horse. Who can't have this money?

Besides, Mr. Patou also made a lot of money last time, and he didn't take this amount of money into his eyes~lightnovelpub.net~ Seeing that Lynch didn't make a statement, Mr. Patou went a step further, "We worked together last time. It's a pleasure, this time around the Duncan family, I think we'll be able to work well together as well."

"3.7 percent of the Duncan family's property in the Commonwealth is in the resources sector, and they own two of the five largest oil fields in the Commonwealth, which provide them with ample cash flow."

"If you want to do it, I can try to suppress them at least temporarily in this regard."

About the Duncan family, Lynch has also done a lot of data collection during this period, and oil is indeed a very important link.

How to say this thing, as long as crude oil is mined, some companies are willing to spend money to buy it back.

There is no problem in the oil field, and it is basically unrealistic to simply use capital means to suppress the Duncan family.

They are so rich.

It is precisely because of this that they are now remembered by people!

Lynch thought for a while, "What are you going to do?"
