Blackstone Code

Chapter 1400: Some things are not the more the better

Lynch is a very special person.

Mr. Patou's real willingness to become friends with Lynch was based on the fact that Lynch was canonized by Emperor Gaevra himself.

Because he is a noble, a real noble, a noble without any fictitious elements, and although the Arkin family is also a "noble family", its authenticity is doubtful.

The legends circulating outside are the most doubtful proofs. No one will ever point to a certain Gavra nobleman and say that there is something wrong with this guy's noble title.

Because everyone knows that their nobility comes from the emperor's personal canonization.

Yes, or not, there is a legacy.

Who is the heir of each generation, and under the witness of which aristocrats, the emperor's permission has been granted the title of nobility. These are all inherited and recorded.

Every generation is like this, so who is aristocrat and who is not aristocrat cannot be faked.

But the Arkin family is different. They just keep talking about their ancestors. The first Earl of Arkin is the first pioneer and the only noble on this continent.

They can also list who the head of each generation is, when they succeeded, and when they passed on the throne.

But... this kind of thing, you say yes?

Without more aristocratic witnesses, without the canonization of the royal family, sometimes you say yes, but it may not be!

People are willing to believe that Arkin was originally a lowly guard around the nobles, and killed the real Earl of Arkin to replace his identity in order to seize the property of the nobles, and they do not want to believe that the blood flowing in the blood of the Arkin family A true noble bloodline!

So Mr. Patu needs some Austrian aid. He once tried to open up the situation from Gevra, but obviously he was born and raised on the Federation side, and he did not understand the brain circuits of the nobles.

Those poor nobles would rather starve to death than prove a thing they don't know - the Ajiner family has noble blood flowing!

Yes, they don't want to admit it, and those nobles who really have the power to judge don't look down on Mr. Patou, so this matter has been dragged down.

Lynch became the second noble of the Arkin family outside the federal continent, and was conferred by the emperor himself. As long as he admits that the Arkin family is a noble, many rumors will end!

This is also the core of Mr. Patou's real acceptance of Lynch as his equal object. In the final analysis, it is still related to some interests.

Until the silver case broke out, Lynch ended up brazenly making Mr. Patou gulping drooling at those countless interests. In the end, the expression on his face, like the ice that would not melt in countless springs and autumns, finally changed.

It is better to say that it is to join forces with Lynch, but it is better to say that it is secretly outputting from the back, but this also allows him to obtain a lot of benefits.

The two sides have made great progress in the pursuit of interests, so they have the basis for truly becoming good friends.

Like Lynch and Mr. Wardrick, there has to be something to be a bridge to each other.

Faced with Lynch's question at this time, Mr. Patou pondered for a while, his tone did not seem to be disturbed by the wind and rain, but in fact he said softly like a thunderstorm, "You know, there are always many mine disasters every year."

"There are mine disasters in mines, and there are mine disasters in oil fields..."

When science and technology were not yet developed, underground mining was indeed a very dangerous job, and it could be said that everyone was just playing with their lives.

Although those structural designers told the mine owners every day, telling the miners that the internal tunnels they designed had absolutely no possibility of collapse, and the mine owners also found out in conscience at this time that they used high-quality materials.

But when it's time for a mine disaster, the mine disaster will never stop.

Landslides, water penetration, the most common situation, every mining accident can take away many people's lives and cause huge economic losses to resource companies one by one.

They need to pay various pensions, heal the scars they have brought to society, and pay various fines and various payments.

The mining area will be temporarily closed for re-assessment of safety, until the investigation team in charge of the investigation believes that it is no longer a great threat, and then it can be reopened after some supervision and rectification.

This period, which could last for several months, is enough to cut off the huge amount of cash brought in by the oil fields.

As for why there is a problem with the oil field, even with the oil tank, that is another question.

Mr. Patew told Lynch without concealment that he could use some tricks outside the legal rules to deal with these industries, which is to show that he is willing to cooperate with Lynch on a deeper level.

In fact, looking at the upper levels of the entire federation, "plundering" is illegal in many cases, but the law has given them a legal coat.

Just like before the Great Depression, the federal overcapacity known as the "capital engine" began to decline, and all aspects of society began to expose some problems, and a large amount of funds began to withdraw.

In order to keep this money from leaving the Commonwealth, the federal government and large corporations in various regions have tried their best to "keep" these businesses.

The means are a bit contrived. They are nothing more than various lawsuits, various punishments, and various means after capital and political collusion. Everyone knows that these means may not be legal, but at this moment the law turns a blind eye to these, then they are All are legal!

To a certain extent, this sentence is not wrong.

The purpose of the law is to protect the rights and interests of ordinary people, and keeping these foreign-funded enterprises is also to protect the rights and interests of ordinary people.

Only this time, the goal of the federal government is not those foreign-funded enterprises, but the Duncan family. With the help of the federal government, Mr. Patou's idea will definitely be realized.

Lynch nodded, "You're an expert on this, and you definitely know how to avoid these tragedies."

It was a very cautious statement. Fortunately, Mr. Patou could understand it, and he also expressed some additional thoughts of his own.

"Actually, I'm not too interested in these resource businesses..."

Looking at the appropriately puzzled expression on Lynch's face, Mr. Patou explained.

"Now our family, as well as the group company, already have a lot of resource industries. We have two of the five major oil fields in the Federation, two of the Duncan family, and one belonging to the Northern Energy Company."

"If I, or the group company, get these two oil fields again, it means that we have the right to distribute and set the price of oil output in the federal territory. You know, this has violated federal laws..."

The Antitrust Law is here to address these things, and as long as the federal government and the Department of Justice believe that you actually have control over the industry you operate in, then there is monopolistic behavior.

Check again and find out that there is indeed a monopoly, then the next step is to file a case for investigation, then impose a huge fine, and finally split the related companies so that more investors can buy shares.

This is the federal law of the game. You can make money, but you can’t close the door and make money by yourself. You must open the door and let everyone make money together. Only then can you legally “monopolize” the industry.

The Anti-Monopoly Law looks like a joke in some ways. It cannot be said that because a company is split into several companies, and then a group of social investors is recruited, continuing to engage in this industry is not a monopoly.

Under the condition that the core controlling members of a company remain unchanged, even if it is split into a hundred or a thousand, it is still a monopoly.

It's just that its monopoly has become less conspicuous, and people will be obscured by what they see as "internal competitiveness".

It's like Congress - a monopoly of political resources, but politicians use the rules to legally apply the rules to protect themselves, so that people don't realize that Congress is always the absolute manifestation of political monopoly!

That's what Mr. Patou meant. He runs two oil fields, and what he's doing now is legal.

But if he runs four oil fields, then his business becomes illegal, funny, but that's the reality.

Sometimes big people have to abide by the rules of the game, because the rules are made by them, and when they want more people to follow them, they must follow them first.

If you don't follow the rules you make, how can you make others follow them willingly?

"so?"

Mr. Patou smiled, "I'm very interested in their security company, as well as some other industries, some emerging industries."

"Families and consortiums like ours are actually facing a difficult transition. This incident is an opportunity for us."

"We can get the best possible result at a lower cost and cost!"

Directly plundering some mature emerging industries from the Duncan family is equivalent to helping the family avoid many failures in the process of transformation and innovation, and directly enjoy the fruits of success.

If these industries do not shrink, then Mr. Patou will increase investment, build these emerging industries into future family pillar industries, and improve the scale and chain around these industries.

In this way, they can persevere even if they encounter a financial tsunami like a few years ago.

Lynch thought about it~lightnovelpub.net~ It's just that the contribution in this area is not enough. You have to understand that the more we give, the more we get! "

"Honestly anyone can do what you say, so you have to come out with the real stuff, money, or resources, or whatever!"

If you set a few fires and do some destruction, you can get millions of industries, and there will be no poor people in this world.

Lynch and Mr. Patou negotiated for several hours before leaving. Before leaving, he noticed that Mr. Patou's horse ranch had a lot of concentrate, including soybeans, and he asked for some.

Those sun-dried soybeans are yellow, and some people call them soybeans.

Soybeans have always been a high-quality crop and can be used in many places.

Even in supermarkets, you can see all kinds of canned soybeans.

Even in the relief food distributed by the government now, soybeans will always be the largest crop.

Inexpensive and high in nutritional value, these are enough!
