0416 Guess!
Mr. Wardrick, who was chatting with a few colleagues about some upcoming work, followed some advice from Mr. Lynch to secure infrastructure contracts in at least one state of Nagalil.
He wasn't really interested in these businesses, and the returns on these businesses were indeed very high, but the return cycle was also very long, and it would take at least ten to twenty years to see the results.
And there is a crucial point in this, that is, politics has a much greater influence on these businesses than capital has on these businesses!
If relations between the United Kingdom of Nagalil and the Commonwealth begin to decline, or even conflict erupts, or if there is unrest in Nagalil, this will seriously affect the interests of the consortium on the Nagalil side.
This is not a transaction of hundreds of thousands, millions, or tens of millions, once this kind of business starts, not to mention the investment in painstaking efforts and manpower invested over the years, the wealth alone may be tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions!
This is also the reason why the board of directors of the consortium did not agree at first, these people have unparalleled influence in the country, but there are very few people who have heard of them in the international community, which also leads to their lack of voice in the international community.
Rather than taking the risk of opening up the international profit market, it is better to continue to cultivate the domestic market, although the benefits are becoming scarce, but after all, it is safe and profitable.
Fortunately, "I discussed these issues with Mr. Lynch" ...... allowed him to convince the board of directors, which was not actually a persuasion, but showed them another "contract" hidden behind everything.
When necessary, when their interests are not protected, they will take the opportunity to directly overthrow the local regime, not to mention replacing it, and it may be easy to support a puppet of their own to come to power.
Even the federal government would like to see this happen, and although they will verbally criticize this interference in the internal affairs of other countries, secretly, they are happy.
With this argument, some of the "young" directors on the board like Mr. Waldrick are a little nervous, and at their age, they are at the peak of their lives.
Whether it is financial resources, ability, energy, intelligence, and influence, they have reached the peak, and their rich life experience can make them see further, and they are willing to try some exciting things before they become old.
For example, controlling a country, which is one of the reasons why people are quickly persuaded by him, when a consortium monopolizes a country's trade...... , even if it monopolizes the trade of half the country, it is an astonishing wealth.
As we all know, as long as the profit is enough? Can a capitalist sell an axe that cuts off his neck to an executioner at a high price? As long as the price is high enough, even a noose used to hang yourself or your companions or family members can be used as a hit.
Under the influence of a potential possibility? The Board of Directors fully approved Mr. Vaudrick's proposal for an international strategy? Actively negotiate with you.
They were chatting about these things, and the butler appeared behind Mr. Wardrick? The butler whispered something in his ear, such as, "I saw Lynch and Miss go upstairs together?" And also with a bottle of wine" and something like that.
The corner of Mr. Wardrick's eye twitched? Then he raised his hand and clenched his fist, turned his head under the pretense of coughing, and whispered, "Let Mary Jo go and stare at them......", his eyes staring at the butler's eyes extremely sharp? "Beat them up if you have to!"
The corners of the housekeeper's mouth twitched too? He lowered his head, then quickly left.
Waldrick's wife asked him curiously, "What happened?"
Mr. Wardrick, on the other hand, said casually, "The servant found a little mouse?" But I left Mary Jo to take care of those things. ”
Perhaps influenced by this topic, their chats with others have shifted from normal content to the shortcomings of the manor? For example, there are always a lot of bugs, rats, and small animals in the room, and then talk about related work? Eventually, it turned to environmental issues.
On the other side, the butler had already found Mary Jo.
Mary Jo is the head maid of this manor? In your thirties? Good figure? The face is also very beautiful, and there is a charming style all the time.
But if you look down on her because of her appearance, it must be a disregard for your own life.
Mary Jo has a very good skill, and has undergone intensive militarized training from a very young age, and has mastered the assassination technique of defeating the enemy in one move.
Most families with deep roots produce some very special talents, and Mary Jo is one of them, and her job is to follow Severella or the Wodriks when necessary, and protect them closely.
People don't have much to guard against a maid who looks more like a small pet of a powerful family than she does cleaning a room, and her face and figure are her best disguise.
But as long as her back is exposed in front of her, she is enough to exert a shuddering combat power in the narrow space.
Most of the time, she is the head maid in the family and really takes on the work of a maid.
Let her keep an eye on the two little ones, and the butler can already imagine what Lynch wants to do evilly, even if it is just an expression, and he will be punched away by Mary Jo.
He snickered and told Mary Jo about the master's request, and the latter gladly agreed, and it was the duty and duty of all the people in this manor to protect the chastity of the young lady!
In fact, it is a bit ridiculous to say, many things will never appear in front of the public in their true form.
For example, in the eyes of most people, life in high society should be erosive, rotten, and full of stench.
After all, there will always be some similar news in the newspapers and on TV every day, such as so-and-so organizing an uncovered assembly, and a group of men and women who are either familiar with or familiar with their surnames show ugly and frightened appearances under the camera.
For example, from time to time, there will be some sex scandals in the fashion industry, the entertainment industry, including the political arena, and all kinds of news that shatter people's three views are actually reminding people that this is not an old-fashioned era.
Coupled with the various movements of feminist organizations, which expose their bodies and advertise that women should gain the same dominance and power as men in the relationship between the sexes, many things are gradually getting out of control.
Perhaps it is precisely because of these tendencies that the middle and lower classes of the federal society take chastity issues very casually.
Some girls receive a birthday present at the age of sixteen that may be a Mr. Horn, or a living male, and even some girls will feel inferior because they don't have any experience between the sexes before going to college!
What a terrible kind of ...... Ah, those girls are inferior because they keep their chaste bodies!
But on the other hand, the upper class of the Federation, those who are really big families, they will still tell those heirs about the importance of chastity, although sometimes they will be said by young people to be stereotyped, but at least some will listen.
As for the members of the big family who still go their own way...... Their indulgence in themselves is nothing more than a family strategy, a kind of helplessness.
Many of these people are not eligible for succession, they may receive less than one percent of the family's shares from the family, and they are not yet eligible to attend family meetings and the board of directors of the family business.
Every year their insignificant shares bring them a fortune, and they enjoy the nobility that comes with their family names, and they don't have to struggle and can't struggle, at least not so that the true heirs of the family think they might be a challenger.
So why not indulge?
Anyway, their lives are fixed, so indulge!
These people create the illusion that the new generation of the ruling class is rotten, and that a pleasure-loving ruling family does not cause social antagonism.
Even if people are unhappy with some of their practices, they think, wait, wait, wait!
Look at their descendants, one by one they will not do anything except abuse and evil, this family will rot after all, as long as they wait, they can finish themselves.
It's fun!
Mary Jo knocked on the door of Severella's room, holding a tray with a silver jug and two silver cups trimmed with gold trim.
After cosmetics began to spread to all corners of society, some pure silver utensils needed to be changed, such as the parts that would touch the human body, and silver could no longer be used.
Some cosmetics have some very special ingredients that can make the silver blacken quickly, so people use more stable gold bands instead of those parts that will come into direct contact with the human body.
"Miss, I'll deliver tea ......"
"Come in!"
In the living room of the room, two young men sat together, and to the girl Mary Jo was like a part of the house.
It may be a bit rude to say that, but that's how she feels about Mary Jo, and of course, to put it mildly, is to treat her like her own family.
Mary Jo breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the two young men sitting together, and she quietly walked over to them and placed the tray on the coffee table.
She poured some flower tea for the two of them and stepped aside.
The girl looked at her, she looked at her feet, and after a moment the girl said, "You can go out, Mary Jo, and we're going to discuss some things about writing." ”
Mary Jo did not speak, as if she had not heard, and the girl was a little embarrassed, probably because her words had not worked, and Lynch was sitting beside her, which made her feel that her words were very useless and shameless.
Just when she was a little upset, Lynch reached out and pressed Severella, "Let her stay here, I guess your father asked her to come." ”
The girl frowned, and instead of continuing to ask Mary Jo to leave, she looked at Lynch and asked a question, "What did she come for?"
