The temperature in February began to rise gradually, and the cold winter was about to pass.
The court's trial of the case related to the ristoan group has almost begun, but for some relevant personnel, it is not considered that the trial of key personnel has been completed.
The lawsuit against Vera also went through the trial procedure. She didn't know that the materials she collected belonged to important evidence. In addition, gap said that he deceived vera in this matter, and finally rejected the prosecution of the state prosecutor because of insufficient evidence.
It seems that this matter has ended here. It seems so, and Lynch's business in all aspects has maintained a relatively stable and rising trend.
With the successful holding of the second-hand commodity auction in the state capital, people have once again seen the power of the times.
The things that many people used to throw at the door or in the dustbin can now be sold at a high price, and the second-hand commodity trade has begun to flourish in all parts of the Federation.
Under the auspices of Lynch, the interstellar trade company was split up. The new company, which specializes in second-hand commodity trading center, has received investment from many people in the state, some in cash and some in land. Lynch only wants these two things.
In fact, in this invisible situation, what people want to do is not to use the money in their hands to make more money, but to make the money in their hands not disappear inexplicably and maintain its value. This is one of the few requirements of people.
Lynch's companies obviously have such ability. Even if they can't make too much money, they can win in safety.
In fact, many investors are well aware that Lynch's current business has great limitations. It is only when the economy is depressed that second-hand commodity trading will rise.
After the economy improves, people will become like before, throw unwanted things directly at the door, stick a note of "ownerless things" and attach a dollar, and then happily go to the mall to buy some new things.
At that time, the trading heat of second-hand goods will obviously be minimized, but who cares?
As long as they can survive the cold winter, they will immediately "break up" with Lynch's company, which is also the purpose of these people. Of course, Lynch knows this very well, so now he will ask for more cash or land instead of all kinds of equity exchange.
In February, the new president of the Federation welcomed the first state visit of the Federation in recent years.
Gavra, also called gavra, is just a small problem of pronunciation. It doesn't matter. Gavra's prime minister visited the Baylor Federation.
Gavra is an imperial country. A few years ago, the Federation spontaneously resisted gavra, mainly because of their political system, that is, dictatorship.
This has something to do with the background of the times at that time. The free spirit of the Federation is in sharp contrast to the ideological imprisonment under feudal rule. Some people need to use these decadent things to support the value of the free spirit of the Federation. Therefore, gevlar is considered to be a stupid, backward and feudal country, although it is far from the truth.
It's just unexpected that some things have changed dramatically without changes in a few years. The president even personally met the Prime Minister of gavra in the port, and the cold winter seems to have become a sea of flowers.
It is said that at the request of the head of the office of the Secretary of the president's cabinet, a welcoming ceremony was held to welcome the prime minister and Minister of gavra.
In fact, in the past, we didn't know much about these things, and we didn't have much experience. Moving forward may be the records of foreign affairs activities that obviously couldn't keep up with the times decades ago, which are not enough to provide some information.
Then they found some businessmen and discussed a plan, that is, flowers!
They asked the children to stand in the cold winter port with all kinds of flowers, blowing the sea wind that can freeze the tramps to death, and waving the flowers in their hands. The smell of the flowers covered the sea smell in the air. When gavra's Prime Minister got off the ship, he was obviously stunned.
The reporters on the scene keenly captured this scene. During the evening news, this distracted moment was unanimously considered by the hosts of the TV station as "the enthusiasm of the free Federation like a fire dissipated the cold sea breeze from the eastern ocean and warmed the prime minister gaffra who came across the ocean to visit the Federation".
In fact, this is not the case. Prime Minister gavra's distraction was that he felt for a moment that he might have boarded the wrong ship. In his impression, while the Federation refused to contact foreign affairs, there was also an inexplicable arrogance, which was more inexplicable than that of an imperial country.
As soon as he got off the ship, he saw the scene and wondered if he had come to the wrong place. After he recovered, he also decided to go back and scold the foreign affairs organs. Their conclusion of the federal investigation was obviously wrong.
However, his face will not show it. He had a friendly and cordial conversation with the president who came to meet him, and completed some work on the first day at the presidential palace, including but not limited to reaching some preliminary intentions of international political cooperation, military cooperation and commercial cooperation.
The whole Federation is concerned about the state visit and the final result, because everyone knows that these new trends also represent the future of the Federation.
People are very frightened. They can't hide in this comfort nest for so many years. They are like an asshole with social barriers, eager and afraid of the outside world.
Lynch was also very concerned about the results of the foreign affairs interview. All federal television stations, media and people who were too hungry to walk all night were discussing these things. For a time, the Prime Minister of gavra and the topics related to the country covered all other topics.
Sitting in front of the TV, the program was temporarily at rest. The host and guests left the main stage, and Lin Qi also breathed a little relief.
There are other people around him, ASR. Today he specially called ASR here to watch TV with him. By the way, he needs to tell him something to do.
Before giving him the task, Lynch asked his father, Mr. Nell, about his current situation. "How is he doing? I mean Nell."
"Mr. Nell knows his work very well, including our newly obtained projects. He has made a plan. I just need a simple modification to use it!"
Asher's tone was a little surprised. "I'm not flattering him, Mr. Lynch. Mr. Nell's understanding is that he seems to be very familiar with these jobs. This may be a jealous talent?!"
Enviable talent?
No, this is the helplessness of ordinary people. If an ordinary person wants to live a good life, he should not only find out what he should know, but also find out what he should not know, such as how to cheat.
This is funny. The information we receive every day emphasizes that this is an honest society, but this sentence itself is the biggest lie.
Asher is not as familiar with how the workers are lazy and how the material suppliers are shoddy as Nell. Of course he does well!
Lynch was very satisfied with this. Later, he asked about the progress of the new project. Because the stadium does not need too complex structure, it has basically been completed. In fact, it is some circular bleachers with steel structure. These have prefabricated parts. What needs to be done is assembly, which is easy to complete.
As for the second-hand commodity distribution center, Lynch did not require the establishment of any high-rise buildings. Nell found a more suitable company with construction qualification and completed projects to undertake the business. The quotation they got was about 30% lower than the inquiry of the board of directors.
Of course, Nell's offer is about 10% lower than the lowest price inquired by the board of directors, and the remaining 20% is the profit of Nell's construction company.
They didn't need to do anything, so they had a big project with 20% profit. In addition to Nell's Commission and salary, all the other money went into the company's account, which is equivalent to returning to Lynch's pocket.
After talking about these unimportant things, Lynch thought a little and said, "today's visit will open the prelude to a big era. You recently pack up, go back to your hometown and make some preparations for me. I will go to your hometown for investment by the end of March at the latest. Before that, you can communicate with your local regime and theocracy."
The matter had long been settled. When it came to the end, ASL was still a little uneasy. "Mr. Lynch, don't you have to think about it again?"
When he spoke, he stuttered, and the pronunciation of some words would be intermittent or repeated, which showed that he was very nervous. "My hometown is not a suitable place. I think other more civilized places may be more suitable."
Lynch shook his head with a smile. "You don't understand, Asher, civilization has the advantages of civilization, but it also has its own disadvantages. My choice can't be wrong. You just need to do it."
"I can assure you now that as long as you do well, you will get much more there than here, okay?"
Lynch's attitude is indisputable, and ASLE finally dare not persuade him. He will hand over his work as soon as possible, and then leave the Baylor Federation and return to the poor, ignorant and backward place.
The next day, instead of going to the company, Lynch went to the staff sergeant.
With Lynch's nod, staff sergeant recruited more veterans to the "Blackstone security" company. Many veterans were still uneasy at first, but when they returned to the camp like a military camp, they soon integrated into the new family.
Everyone is very comfortable. They just need to be the same as in the past every day, go out for exercises, train, and rest after exhaustion. They don't need to think about so many other things.
As soon as Lynch arrived at the company, the staff sergeant appeared in front of him. At this time, the staff sergeant looked more mature and more generous than the previous two months. Lynch also smiled and said that he should not be a staff sergeant, but a colonel.
"From the fund transfer during this period, I found that there are many more people on your side?" Lynch walked with him on the playground. Everywhere he went, the soldiers gathered together to watch him.
He would nod his head to say hello and let them move freely. Although it is a little complicated, it can give people a very special feeling, which is the smell of power.
The staff sergeant nodded. "Recently, a large number of soldiers are leaving the army. Last time you told me you could recruit more soldiers. Did I recruit too many people?"
Lynch was slightly stunned, "I remember it's not the Veterans' season..."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
