0296 Attitude and temptation
The weather in Nagalil is hotter than in other places, and in early April, the temperature has already risen to about 278 degrees.
At the edge of the harbor, a group of local officials in high-end clothes walked back and forth in sweat, constantly looking at the luxury watches on their wrists and looking up at the sea level in the distance.
It wasn't until a cruise ship slowly approached that a relaxed smile appeared on the faces of these people.
Asr stood in the crowd, all of whom had come to greet Lynch, who had spent the time promoting Lynch's intention to invest in Nagalil and how rich he was.
The market value of any company is tens of millions of federal soles, and according to the official exchange rate, this is more than two billion galils, which is an astonishing fortune!
Whether it is the provincial governor or the high priest, they all ask Asr to try to get Lynch to invest in the local area as much as possible, and they will give Lynch the highest standard treatment and give policies that exceed the bottom line.
The governor even privately told Asr through an intermediary that if he could persuade Lynch's investment to land, the governor would consider awarding Asr the Order of Nagalil the Glory of Nagalil at his discretion.
In the history of Nagalil, only nobles confer such honors, and the Order of the Honorable can also be seen as a process between a Nagalil from a commoner to a nobleman, an essential process.
"That's Mr. Lynch, right?", a local official couldn't help but praise with a smile on his face as he looked at Lynch approaching from afar, "It's really very young and very good, I've never seen such a wonderful young man in Nagalil!"
The officials of Nagalil are not bad at everything, at least they are doing a very good job of touting it.
Because of the theocracy, people will always sing praises to the gods in religious festivals, which also makes most people have an innate ability to tout, natural, fluent, enthusiastic, and unrestrained!
As for Lynch's too far away to be heard?
It didn't matter, because these words were for Asr, and they wanted to express their attitude towards Lynch to Asr, an important intermediary, so that Asr would favor them on some issues, such as persuading Lynch to invest here, and invest more money.
At the officer's signal, the police officers who maintained order on the side straightened their wide-brimmed police caps, and the police badge representing the country and justice shone in the sun.
The people in the harbor were stunned for a moment, with some nervous expressions on their faces, and the children laughed and scurried about, as if they were a kind of game.
The police began to clear the field, whipping the slow-walking Nagalil with sticks in their hands, making a wide enough path for Lynch.
Lynch looked at the ordinary people who didn't even dare to curse, endured the whipping, expelled and drove away, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Many countries care about their own face, even if they are really a dictatorship, a corrupt country, an ugly country, they will create an image to the international community that "we respect the equal right to life".
These countries care too much about international public opinion and their own image in the international community, especially those leaders, who care too much about their personal image, so that they want to pretend to create an impossible illusion to deceive the international community, and therefore create an impossible dream to deceive the people.
What they show can never become a reality, and the dreams they weave will always be just dreams.
Nagalil is different, it's very straightforward here, they show their brutality, their abuse of power, but it's just right to provide Lynch with a suitable ground for him to develop.
When Lynch approached with his team, about ten meters away from the local officials, he stopped and took off his sunglasses.
The handsome face that was slightly raised was bathed in the sun, and the golden light seemed to make him become the god son of the mythical story, and some people were willing to take a few sticks, but also wanted to see the man up close, and lamented the injustice of the gods. (This article has five yuan, Mr. Lynch has paid, and will be deleted after the manuscript is completed)
Asr stepped forward after a brief moment of distraction, and as he approached Lynch, Lynch held out his hand.
In the eyes of others, Asr greeted him warmly and slightly bent over, and when Lynch stretched out his hand to allow him to shake hands, he humbly stretched out his hands and shook Lynch's hand.
"You're finally here!", Asr's words already contained a lot of information, a sense of urgency from dissatisfaction with what had happened here, some longing for Lynch's arrival, and some confusion about seeking the truth in confusion......
Lynch smiled slightly, "Some things have been delayed, but fortunately it is not troublesome......", he said, looking at the officials behind Asr.
The officials also approached on their own initiative, and they also maintained a humble posture, except for the last one.
Asr began to introduce these people to Lynch, and Nagalil's government agencies were relatively simple and crude, not because they were lagging behind.
Even the most backward forms of government tend to be better framed, and Nagalil's problem is that their theocracy has replaced some of the powers and functions of the regime, overlapping in some areas, and with the struggle for power on both sides, some things have been transformed into theocratic functions in the course of natural development.
After meeting with the city's chief ministers, Asr introduces Lynch to the city's mayor, Mishehaye.
The name means "industrious" in the native language of Nagalil, but it seems that the "industrious" character is not found in the slightly plump male mayor.
Slightly dark-skinned and fat, he wore a peculiar hat with a ring of precious stones around the rim.
This is a true ruler of Nagalil, who is just one of many descendants of a certain family, but only in this way he has the opportunity to become the mayor of the city.
The short and thick fingers and fat palms were not comfortable in the process of shaking hands, but his attitude was very warm, "Mr. Lynch, when I heard Asr say that you are coming here to invest, I prayed every day and night to make time pass faster. ”
"We are not a developed country, so we also hope that you can give us some help to achieve common development and common prosperity......"
It's a very official answer, and at the same time some nonsense, but Lynch listens very seriously, and he seems to be serious.
When the Mishehaye had said all this nonsense, he proposed that Lynch go and rest first, and that a dinner party be held in the evening to celebrate Lynch's arrival in Nagalil.
Lynch didn't raise any objection to this, and he also needed to let the people here know him first.
On the bus to the hotel, a local official, who had just introduced himself as the chief of the police department, said something that made the otherwise soothing atmosphere suddenly become a little tense.
"Mr. Lynch, I apologize to you. The police chief stood up, walked up to Lynch, took off his hat, and bent over, "In order to greet you, I asked the police to disperse the crowd, which may cause you a certain degree of misunderstanding of our country and society, so I beg you to forgive me, and I hope you can understand that it was just an accident." ”
Asr suddenly looked at Mishehaye with some anger, while the latter stared at Lynch closely.
This was not in the reception plan that Asr saw, including the scene where the police expelled the crowd before, nor was it in the plan.
Originally, they were going to clear the scene completely, but Mishehaye and Asr both raised some objections, and it would be a bit too grand if it were to be completely present, which was not appropriate, so they just acquiesced in maintaining order.
As a result, the police were still dispatched, and Asr didn't say anything although he felt a little sudden, and he had begun to get used to it during this time.
Sometimes habits are really a terrible thing, and it only took half a month from the beginning of his anger to the habit of calmness that he began.
But what happened now is not just an accident, they must be testing something.
Behind this temptation is actually an assessment of Lynch's attitude towards Lynch by the local rulers of Nagalil, if he is a person with a moral purity, in order to keep his investment and technology, he may adjust some methods in the process of contact.
If he has no moral purity and shows an understanding of these, an understanding of folklore, then they don't need to change anything.
People stared at Lynch, who took off his glasses and looked at the police chief who was hunched in front of him, as if he was thinking about something, and there was a playful expression in his eyes.
Soon he raised his hand and put his arm on the police chief's arm, telling him to straighten up, "You don't need to apologize, maybe your behavior is a very serious crime in my country......", Mishehaye frowned slightly when he said this, and the other officials were expressionless, but there was a kind of banter and mockery in their eyes.
But soon Lynch's words made their expressions natural, "...... But this is Nagalil and I respect everything about this country, including its culture, customs. ”
"Power, wealth, are all for enjoyment, we enjoy them in different ways, but I can't object to others to enjoy these because of different methods, and these are actually quite interesting, can I enjoy these things when I travel in the future?", the smile on his face makes it difficult to overcome the bad feelings.
His answer was also unexpected, and it was not even in the answer they had agreed on at the beginning.
Before the chief of police could figure out what to say, Mishehaye took over the subject, "Of course, Mr. Lynch, you are our most honored guest, and you deserve the highest standard of treatment, including traffic control. ”
"Traffic control?", Lynch found amused by the way they defined the meaning of the words, "that's a good word, thank you for everything you've done for me." ”
The smile on Mishehaye's face became more natural, "I would also like to thank you for your willingness to invest in us......"
