Looking at Mr. Simon, who looked like a native, and his questions, Lynch smiled and asked, "do I need to know this' Preston firm '?"

Mr. Simon was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled. His face was very kind, which may have something to do with his weight now.

Most fat people's faces don't make people feel uncomfortable like evil spirits. Their posture and open appearance will give people some simple and honest feelings, which is why people may hate fat people, but few people will feel that fat people are a threat to themselves.

"Mr. Lynch, if you're just traveling to nagariel, do you know that the 'Preton firm' has nothing to do with it, but if you're going to do business here, I think you'd better know what the 'Preton firm' has to do with it!"

In fact, Mr. Simon's tone is not as peaceful as when they first met. Although his tone and tone have not changed much, he can still feel a sharp sense of nails from his attitude.

He was warning Lynch, at least reminding him of the importance of "Preston firm".

Lynch is not a person who can be easily threatened. No matter who he faces and whether he has the capital to resist, he is not the kind of person who can be easily threatened and coerced by others.

The two men looked at each other for a moment, and Lynch nodded, "so please, Mr. Simon, tell me about this... What again?"

"Preston firm!", Simon's tone increased slightly to express his dissatisfaction with Lynch's certain practices. He didn't believe that a word they had just discussed would be forgotten by Lynch so soon. He must have done it on purpose.

Then he began to perform his work and introduced Preston firm.

In a strict sense, Preston firm is not someone's thing, nor is it much like a serious firm doing what a firm should do. It is more like a chamber of Commerce.

Every quarter, the firm holds a general meeting of shareholders. Most of the foreign businessmen engaged in commercial investment in nagaril are shareholders of Preston.

At this meeting, these people will discuss such a peaceful way to allocate everyone's business and quota for the next quarter.

This sounds a bit exaggerated. An organization of the nature of a chamber of commerce should not have so much energy, but it does.

This is also related to Mr. Preston, the largest shareholder of Preston chamber of Commerce. It is said that Mr. Preston worked in the Navy before he started business. He has a special obsession with the sea and is full of adventure.

In fact, Simon talked about the significance of Mr. Preston's experience in the Navy, and Lynch was also very clear that sea transportation, as the main long-distance circulation mode at present, was not as safe as people thought.

There are more than one shipwreck in the world every day, but some have been reported and some have been ignored.

Mr. Preston has won people's trust in his way. He has formulated some very reasonable rules of the game, which everyone, including himself, abides by. At the same time, everyone also hopes that other new people here will join them.

"... that's the general situation, Mr. Lynch. In fact, joining the Preston firm has obtained much more than what I just said!"

"For example!", Mr. Simon's tone increased a little, "what's the most popular in Tiat now, what's the price of medaric falling... We share such information in time!"

"You don't need to face those hateful intelligence traffickers. You only need a phone call to know the most timely commodity price trend all over the world, which also brings several conveniences to our international trade."

"You know, sometimes we are willing to pay liquidated damages and park our things in the port for a period of time. Without these channels, we will lose more!"

It sounds as if they are willing to breach the contract rather than perform the contract. In fact, this often happens in international trade, especially in some periods of time, the price of goods fluctuates very quickly.

It is possible that the value of a ship of goods is only 10000 yuan in the morning and becomes a million yuan in the evening. Therefore, people are willing to pay three or five times the liquidated damages for failing to perform the contract and ensure that more profits do not slip through their fingers.

Especially during the war, the prices of some ores and some important industrial production materials always change day by day.

Perhaps because a group conquered an area and found some minerals, the price of some materials fell sharply, or because some facilities, including the mining area, suffered shelling, production reduction or even short-term production failure, the price of some raw materials soared in an instant.

This change happens every day, even now. Some raw materials needed for post-war reconstruction are not much less than those needed during the war, but more.

You know, the demand for construction is always more than the demand for destruction.

Then it is very important to have a rich and stable information channel. Relying on some invisible means and some information sharing, Mr. Preston easily integrated many businessmen operating in nagaril and formed a very special interest group around him.

This is also the reason why local rulers do not like these people. When they unite, they become difficult to deal with and become more and more greedy.

This is also a matter of course. When there is competition, a small number of head forces will always eat until they are supported, and then there will be the next meat bones and broth. Now the interests are distributed, and everyone does not suffer too much. It seems that everyone is a winner, but it is not so.

Once the head forces had less income, and the real beneficiaries were those small businessmen who were large and lack competitiveness. In order to meet some people's requirements for more profits, improving the net profit ratio has become the main means.

Higher prices and higher profit margins naturally become greedy in the eyes of local rulers.

"Mr. Lynch, this is a good time. I invite you to join us. It's a rare opportunity!" Mr. Simon tried his best to persuade Lynch.

In addition to Mr. Preston calling him personally, he was a little frightened by what happened to Lynch.

You know, in the territory divided by Preston firm, Magura Na province belongs to Mr. Simon's main business. Spices, some animal fur, some jewelry and gold are his main business items.

Originally, all this was very peaceful, and he was not dissatisfied with it. He also knew that mishahaye and some people made difficulties for Lynch.

In fact, we all experienced this kind of thing at first. Mr. Simon also smiled and talked with some business friends about how long Lynch could last under the guidance of local rulers and what methods he would use to solve it.

When Lynch is forced to a desperate situation, Mr. Simon and others will appear in front of Lynch, invite him to join Preston firm, help him through the difficulties, and then give him a quota to taste some sweetness.

The idea is very good, but the fact is very strange. No one knows how Lynch responded. People only know that Lynch agreed to some requirements of mishahaye. In return, mishahaye, actually the provincial governor, may agree to give Lynch the monopoly right and import and export trade right of some commodities.

Now Mr. Simon can't sit still, which has seriously affected his interests. Once Lynch and the governor reach an agreement, the domestic and foreign trade pattern of Magura province will change immediately.

Before, those businessmen who did business locally would face a more embarrassing situation. They had to leave because of the change of the attitude of the rulers and Lynch's power.

After operating here for so many years, they can hardly give up their business and profits here, which will kill them!

Together with Mr. Preston's own telephone, it facilitated the meeting between him and Lynch.

Looking at Lynch's young face, Mr. Simon felt some emotion and nervous. He didn't know whether Lynch would agree. He looked at Lynch and wanted to find something from this young face.

Lynch was silent for a while. He was weighing the pros and cons. In fact, he was very interested in the Preton firm. International trade information sharing is a great thing.

At present, there are no direct telephone lines between countries all over the world, except for a few countries.

For example, there is no direct telephone connection from the Federation to nagary. Telegrams are not only expensive, but also not necessarily reliable and safe. Therefore, people tend to send messages by letter.

However, the delivery of letters is too slow. If you are lucky, it can be delivered in a week. If you are unlucky, it will take half a month or even longer. The opportunity of trade often occurs in a very short time. If you miss it, you will miss it forever.

Wait half a month?

The ashes are cold!

However, he was unwilling to join the Preton firm. He thought about how to get the convenience only when he joined the firm without joining the Preton firm.

He looked at Mr. Simon again with a trace of ponder, which made Mr. Simon feel a little uneasy. He checked his clothes and touched his chin to ensure that he had no place, so he hardened his head to meet Lynch's eyes, "how are you thinking, Mr. Lynch?"

Lynch raised his eyebrows and shook his head. "I can't answer your question in a short time. I need time to think about it. I never force others and don't want to be forced by others. Can you understand what I mean?"

Mr. Simon, who was unhappy, still nodded with a strong smile, "should be more careful..."
