After temporarily settling the small matter on Vera's side, Lynch called Asr again, this time in a more upscale café.

There used to be a lot of people here, but now there aren't many customers, everyone is thinking about saving, and they are not as happy to spend expensive and unnecessary things as they used to be.

This also leads to the fact that there are few people in the café, and it is very quiet.

Asr came quickly, and Lynch asked him to sit across from him, "Don't be nervous, and there is no specific work, I came to you this time just to talk to you about your hometown." ”

"My ...... Hometown?"

There was a brief pause in Asr's expression, and his eyes lost their luster and focus, as if they were remembering something.

The memory was short-lived, and he quickly returned to reality, apologizing for his wandering mind during the chat, and a little confused by Lynch's question.

"Mr. Lynch, my hometown is not a rich place, there is no advanced scientific and technological system like the Federation, there is no industrial base, it is just a poor place, and that's why we came out. ”

When talking about his hometown, Asr sighed very much, it is indeed a poor place, not only backward, but also very poor and ignorant.

To this day, people still believe that they will fall into the arms of the gods when they die, and the gods they believe in created the world, and every breath of this god is the new birth and destruction of the world, in short, it is a great god.

Any country with a higher theocracy than a secular regime will be very backward in terms of technology, because they spend a lot of time, energy, and money on how to please gods who don't even exist, let alone give them feedback.

Ignoring the progress and development of science and technology and society, Asr's hometown has nothing to do with in his eyes.

If religious overtones and the beauty of the natural environment due to the lack of technology and industrial base can be regarded as one of the few advantages, then this is the only one left, not much.

However, since Lynch mentioned it, Asr still talked about some things about his hometown, and he and his family actually had correspondence, but each contact was separated by a long time.

"Tell me about the distribution of political power there, its general structure, the class situation of society, the economy, whatever you want. ”

Lynch's further exploration made Asr even more confused, "Mr. Lynch, no offense, can I know why you are interested in these, or what you are interested in, so that I can find the things you are looking for in more detail." ”

Lynch smiled, "You know, the new president is coming to power, and we're going to have a whole new era, where we used to keep our doors behind and no one knew who we were on." ”

"Now that we've opened the door and let people see where we stand, it's going to open up a lot of opportunities that we haven't had before!"

"I often talk to you about social responsibility, which is not only a social responsibility within the federal government, but also a responsibility of the international community, and we must take it up. ”

Asr could know very well how each word in these words was spelled and had several meanings, but he was puzzled that his comprehension seemed to be wrong, because he couldn't understand a single word of the words that he could easily figure out when put together.

But there is no shame in not understanding, Asr, who has an admiration for Lynch, did not hesitate to start talking about those things in his hometown, society, economy, culture, and the biggest contradiction there - the struggle between regime and theocracy!

The two of them sat here for forty or fifty minutes, during which the waiter refilled many glasses, and Asr was already parched after he finished speaking, but he always maintained his demeanor in front of Lynch.

Lynch listened to what he said, and as he looked thoughtful, he thought about it for about a few minutes before he asked another question, "Asr, would you like to go home if you had the chance?"

Assleton, who was still relaxed, became nervous, and the expression on his face changed to uneasy, "Go home, no, Mr. Lynch, did I do something wrong?"

He had the impression that returning home had actually become the greatest punishment in his life, considering that he was now able to settle in the Baile Federation, and his family was treated very favorably because of it.

That backward country is relatively backward in the international community, and they have an innate fear of powerful countries, but it is precisely because of this that they increasingly advocate theocracy.

It may sound like ...... It's hard to understand, shouldn't this unite to delve into scientific and technological development?

In fact, when a place is too backward, people are confronted with advanced science and technology, as if they were confronted with something in mythology, and at the same time, in order to consolidate their power and strength, the supporters of theocracy will instill in the people a false idea that faith can triumph over matter.

Of course, the people at the bottom have been fooled by their deception, but the ruling class is still relatively sober.

When Asr got a residence permit from the Federation of Bail and a social security number, and became a serious "foreigner", his parents, siblings and people were much more hardened when they spoke, and their social treatment was better.

If he is allowed to go back now, his parents, brothers and sisters, how much preferential treatment and respect they have received from society over the years, it is not as simple as spitting back the money with interest!

Seeing Asr's somewhat anxious expression, Lynch slowly picked up the coffee and took a sip, "Asr, my friend, you are too nervous, haven't you considered another possibility?"

He put down the cup, and his movements were very gentle, and there was not even a collision sound between the coffee cup and the tray, "It's not just you who go back, I'll also go and do business." ”

"Doing business?", Asr's eyes widened, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lynch, I don't understand at all, is there anything that can fall into your eyes in that backward and poor place?"

Lynch √ slightly, "You're wrong, in fact, your hometown is full of all kinds of amazing wealth, but you, and those people, can't see it." ”

"Gold, precious stones, spices, precious ores, some plants, even some animals and their furs, these things are money as long as they are transported from you!"

This is also the most basic way of plundering the backward society by the advanced society, and some things you know can be turned into money, but because the technology is not up to standard, you can only export raw materials in the end and make extremely small profits.

It may even be impossible to make any money because it cannot be shipped.

It was a good time, the whole world was busy rebuilding and developing itself, their eyes had not yet been set on the whole world, and people would not care about some changes in a poor place, which gave Lynch great convenience.

Asr thought about it, and it was true, his memory of his hometown was actually a little vague, but there were still some things that were impressive.

For example, the high priests in each village who wear gold and silver, such as the primeval forests that are so dense that you will lose your way when you go inside, such as the various ores that are hidden in the ground but cannot be mined.

It's all money, it's just ......

"What about transportation? Mr. Lynch, if we ship those things, they may cost more than if we buy the finished product locally?", Asr again put forward some of his opinions, when the level of transportation is not developed enough, transportation costs are also a headache in cost control.

Lynch said very lightly, "Then settle it locally, a ton of gold ore is worth a ton of gold completely different, if it's a ton of gold, I believe that even if we spend money to ship it back, we will have enough profit." ”

Isn't it not enough to make money by turning stones into finished gold ingots?

Without waiting for Asr to continue asking, Lynch continued, "This is also one of the international social responsibilities I proposed, as a developed and advanced country, we should help some backward countries to develop science and technology, I believe that if I take equipment and funds to invest in your hometown, they will give me some convenience, what do you think?"

This sentence made Asr unable to refute, although his hometown was poor, backward and ignorant, but the ruling class was not so stupid.

They would greedily allow Lynch to act cheaply there, let Lynch let his guard down, and then quietly, slowly, change something until they take away Lynch's assets over there.

Asr felt that he should tell Lynch about this situation, but Lynch just smiled, did not answer him, and even told Asr that this matter had basically been decided, and it was the main direction and plan for this year's development.

As soon as he can get his head on the President and that damn new department, he'll be taking people to Asr's hometown in no time.

As for why it is Asr's hometown, it is actually very simple, it is poor enough, backward, and ignorant, but it is rich in natural minerals and resources, and he also has a reliable local - Asr as a guide.

With all that help, that's all that's left is some simple work.

He didn't mind letting the natives and their gods know the pronunciation of the word "bullet", what it meant, and the fear of it if they wanted to give it a try.

Plunder is never just and benevolent, every large-scale plunder between civilizations is bloody, some people can't adapt to it, they will be eliminated, and those who adapt will become part of the interest groups around Lynch!
