Blackstone Code

Chapter 1543: the night before

On the board of directors, Lynch quickly made various arrangements, and the entire group's industry has made certain adjustments to deal with the war that will break out tomorrow!

This kind of adjustment is very important. Many people think that whether the war breaks out or not has little to do with the direction of the enterprise.

In fact, this kind of cognition is very low-level, and the reason is very simple.

Anyone who does export business knows that most of the time, the companies that dispatch orders will require the export companies to pack the goods and transport them to the port designated by the other party for delivery.

The purpose of the companies that distribute the orders is actually not to take the initiative to bear any risks that may exist in transportation, and they transfer the risks to the exporting companies.

During the war, who knows whether the warships cruising the sea belong to their own people or the enemy's.

If you still do it according to the previous method, such as setting the delivery location at the port designated by the other party, you will take too much risk!

These risks encompass all the risk of product loss, with costs completely sunk.

And the risk of the opposing company filing a claim because they didn't receive the item as contracted and you didn't deliver it.

There are also casualties caused during transportation, pensions and other expenses given by the enterprise.

These risks are far from being compensated by the profits of exporting a batch of products.

Another example is some manufacturing industries that rely on imported raw materials or rough-processed materials, and the supply of raw materials may be interrupted in a war.

If factories do not have products that can quickly adjust their production, they will first have to face raw materials that are not produced, claims from companies that dispatch orders, and a lot of labor costs.

Therefore, once the war breaks out, enterprises must make various preparations in the shortest possible time.

The Blackstone Group has a bit of luck, there are relatively few companies that rely on import and export, and maybe some peripheral companies——

For various reasons, some major shareholders cross-share their own company shares and the shares of the group company in proportion.

In this way, they can obtain more shares on the basis of using their own liquidity at a minimum, and at the same time, because of their behavior, the group companies have an influence on these peripheral companies.

And with the continuous expansion of the group company, the strength and power will gradually penetrate into these peripheral companies, turning them into a part of the group.

When Mr. Wardrick left his original group of companies, in order to end these more quickly, he also gave up some of the shares that originally belonged to his company in exchange for the board's maximum permission to do so.

This is also the most common way for capital to eat people. Before you know it, you will be eaten by capital without leaving any slag.

One day you wake up, come to the company fully dressed, and think about how the future will develop and create glory.

But the board told you that you were fired...

In the Commonwealth, this kind of thing happens every day!

There are import and export companies in the peripheral companies of the Blackstone Group. In view of Lynch's operating strategy, he also needs to issue a warning to these peripheral companies and tell them to change their business policies as soon as possible.

It's not just Lynch doing it, many people are doing it, and everyone who does it knows that war is inevitable.

Including those officials in Mariro, as well as their president!

As Lynch imagined, when the President learned that he had only twenty-four hours and that his call to Mr. Truman was rejected, he realized that war was inevitable.

Although he had been mentally prepared, at this time, his body could not stop trembling slightly.

He prayed to their gods that the great beings would hear his humble and devout voice!

He wants him and his country, the people who live here, to get through this disaster!

"What should we do!"

The President's long daze made some people unable to hold their breath. The speaker was a young man in his early thirties.

Sometimes the world is really unfair!

In almost any orderly society, the vast majority of people in their early thirties may still be confused about the future.

Because they don't know how they should face the future, and they don't know how to choose in the fading dream and cruel reality.

But there are also some people, when they were in their thirties, they were already standing above 99.9% of the people in this world.

They can't be described by anyone.

Just like this 30-year-old presidential adjutant, he is a student of the old president, and can be said to be the "apprentice" of the current president. They all inherit the ideas of the previous president.

I want to make this country rich and powerful.

He thought that all this would come slowly and less nervously, but what he didn't expect was that the federal people's reaction this time was so strong.

Until now, they didn't know if such a thing really happened.

Whether a group of stowaways actually attacked the patrol on the border and inflicted heavy casualties, they don't know.

They don't know anything, and 24 hours is not enough time for their investigation team to rush to the border from here!

So everyone understands that from the very beginning, the Federals never thought about "talking" to them, they just wanted war!

The president's eyes regained focus. He glanced at his adjutant and sighed, "What else can we do?"

"The warlords never follow our orders, and I don't think they will follow our orders even if we make some demands on them."

"They're probably already thinking about how to welcome the Commonwealth by wagging its tail!"

"We can only rely on ourselves!"

He did not speak of the Pengios, because the Pengios were ultimately unreliable.

Adjutant Zhu moved his lips and lowered his voice this time, but the problem was still the same.

Gu Yan

"Could it be...are we really doing nothing?"

In the face of such a big event, if he does nothing, he thinks it is really stupid.

Whatever you do, you should do something!

The President thought for a while, "Then give them what they want..."

Without waiting for the adjutant to react, the president asked him to help draft the text——

Only people you trust will let the other party draft for you. This is a manifestation of trust.

The president looked out the window and gradually warmed up, and there was a hint of spring in the garden, and after a moment of indifference, he said--

"After careful study and consideration, we decided to follow the wishes of my father, the former president."

"And to follow the results of the last time, transfer the ownership of each area to the local armed warlords..."

The adjutant's hand suddenly stopped in mid-air. He glanced at the president, whose eyes were a little indifferent and unfamiliar.

"As written!"

"Starting today, warlords in various regions can establish their own military government agencies to exercise local administrative power in place of the Mariro government!"

"Including, but not limited to, managing local law and order, collecting local taxes, organizing production and planting..."

The president knows that even if he asks the warlords for help now, the warlords will ignore him.

In war, holding the barrel of a gun in your hand is the most important thing.

Someone, with weapons, has a sense of security.

So the big president never considered from the beginning that these warlords can give up their stereotypes and actively cooperate with the government.

Since they can't do it, give them a reason to fight, at least for themselves!

After this order went out of the presidential palace, it was basically equivalent to announcing that the Mariro government was already on the countdown to its demise.

But he has to try, in case... it works?

After saying all the words, he looked tired and waved his hand, "Let's organize it, I'm going to give a national speech..."

Although Mariro does not have a wide coverage TV signal network, the radio station is still everywhere.

His speech will be broadcast through radio stations to ensure nationwide coverage in a short period of time.

After more than two hours, he came to the highest radio station in the presidential palace, where there is a radio station for the whole country.

Rarely used.

The people don't care what the President or the central government of Mariro, who is far away from their lives, has to say, that is too far away from them and has nothing to do with their lives.

The warlords also don't like to hear it, because no matter what policy adjustments the central government makes, it has nothing to do with them.

If they feel satisfied, they will abide by it, for example, when they can get some money from the central government.

If they feel dissatisfied, for example, if the tax rate is raised, they pretend not to know, and they don't even pay tax!

So rarely used.

The president sat in front of the microphone. He looked at the somewhat outdated microphone and cheered up.

A few minutes ago, his adjutant had made continuous announcements, so at this time in Mariro, many people had adjusted the frequency.

He took a deep breath. "Good evening, everyone from Marillo."

"I'm your president... and just now I was thinking about what I should say."

"As I sit here, I just realize I don't have that much to say!"

"I don't know you, just like you don't know me."

"Here we can't understand each other for various reasons, which are caused by history, times and other reasons."

"It's not about these things we're talking about today, it's about our future!"

"Invasion from the Federals!"

"They've been thinking about hacking us~lightnovelpub.net~ since my father's time."

"They used to hide their faces, but now they don't."

"They gave me an impossible task and then they would invade our country and occupy our territory while blaming us."

"I never thought anyone should do something for whom at the cost of their lives."

"Whether you choose to flee here or fight for our country, it is your choice, and no one can accuse you of anything."

"Just, before you make a decision, I hope you can be cautious!"

"Whether it is to leave or to resist them, please consider it carefully."

"Because we won't have the same opportunity to make such a choice again, after tomorrow, there will be no more!"

"I'll be here, with those who fought for Marillo, until the last minute!"
