Before eting Lynch, Lance had many speculations about him.
No one ever considers themselves inferior to others, especially in the Federation, a country that pursues ultimate freedom and equality. Even the President wouldn’t let anyone feel inferior.
There’s no difference between and the President, just different jobs...
Such a thought miraculously beca the mainstream idea in the Federation. People genuinely don’t see the President as anything extraordinary. So even take the President to court because their children learned to curse from his speeches.
Everyone believes this, yet it’s clear who belongs to the lower, middle, and upper classes in Federation’s society.
These people can still firmly believe in such ideas under these circumstances, which could be called the "miracle of the Federation"!
Of course, this must be credited to the politicians and capitalists of the Federation. They are adept at creating a society that caters to public psychology.
Lance is such a person; he is more outstanding and cos from a better family than others.
His father is a successful rchant, while his mother cos from a politically declining family. But no matter the decline, when t with money, it is no longer a decline.
He can be considered part of the upper class, and only this qualifies him to be a mber of the Saint Harmony Association. He never thought Lynch would be particularly special, even though he sotis jokingly used so nicknas for Lynch.
Like calling him a young leader, he would say it, but internally, he wouldn’t admit it.
No one can lead anyone; no one is anyone’s leader. He even believes that given the chance, he might not do much worse than Lynch.
Until—
This mont!
Lance faced Lynch like a restless child. He was initially proud of this, but now he just wanted to bow his head, feeling too awkward and sowhat ashad!
He surprisingly believed he was doing well. He even fantasized that Lynch would constantly praise his every accomplishnt upon seeing these reports. He always thought this before.
Until this mont!
But regarding the improvents Lynch now requested, he did not consider them excessive.
Capital has never been an Angel. It’s not for charity but for greater returns, that’s all.
Whether charitable donations or investnts, capital’s sole purpose is always profit!
As long as there is enough profit, they can do anything, even kick the Founder out of the company he created or sell the company shares to competitors—
This is the most lucrative deal, just like the Flight Research Institute. Those military industrial enterprises previously were eager to buy shares of the institute.
They weren’t contributing their efforts for Lynch and the institute to develop more advanced technology; they purely wanted to slow down the institute’s progress.
No matter the project, by voting against it in board etings, they could drag the institute down.
For them, spending a little money to solve the largest competitor was absolutely a cost-effective deal.
But for the institute, this was a huge loss!
Sotis, it isn’t yourself or those around you who truly recognize your value, but your competitors and enemies.
They fear your growth and then use every ans to destroy you!
They will pay a lot of money to buy these shares. So might ask, given great potential, why not do it themselves?
This involves a return issue.
Assu holding A company’s shares might in five years bring a boom period, but selling A company’s stock at double, triple, or more its premium to B company, and switching it for B company’s shares—
This would an destroying A company while becoming a shareholder in B company, where, because A company was destroyed, B company gains the capital dividend, reduces competition, and has a better future.
Money is still money. It just becos more; this is what capital pursues. It doesn’t care who goes bankrupt or who collapses; it only cares if its money can beco more in the process!
Even selling the rope to hang oneself, one shouldn’t expect capitalists to have national, ethnic, or moral positions!
Lynch let Lance understand the core business of Future Light Investnt Company, which was using various thods to squeeze entrepreneurs’ potential and interests, thus gaining more profit!
As for those entrepreneurs, what happens to the Founders isn’t in the company’s consideration. Everyone only thinks about maximizing interests, not emotional connections.
This is like the selection chanism inside Future Light Investnt Company, where people continually leave due to insufficient strength. Isn’t this cruel?
Putting hope into their chest and then digging it out, taking it away!
This is also very cruel, but this is capital; capital is the primal jungle. To survive, you must continuously annex, with no warmth, only the brutal survival rule.
"Moreover...", Lynch tapped his finger on the desk, bringing Lance’s attention back, "I’ve been busy with other things these days. What does the company departnt work consist of now, and what do you think is still needed regarding current departntal divisions and job perspectives?"
Lance paused, cautiously said, "Currently, the overall work of the company is still in exploration. We have six departnts, naly..."
He briefly introduced the six departnts; apart from the logistics departnt, the overall planning was decent.
From the market developnt departnt searching for valuable investnt targets, to the evaluation departnt, then to the legal departnt and operations departnt, as well as the trading departnt, the basic frawork can be said to have been established.
As for opinions on current work...
Lance first thought a bit, then stated so of his views, summarizing Lynch’s theories followed by words to appease Lynch.
Lynch shook his head after listening, "Your understanding of our work is still sowhat insufficient."
"We don’t just trade company shares; you should know, we must be responsible to all shareholders!"
"Besides what you ntioned, we need new departnts to assist the holding companies in going public, financing, promoting, and so forth..."
Lynch ticulously shared so knowledge he possessed, imparting experience, which wouldn’t cultivate a competitor.
Now, wanting to beco Lynch’s competitor in the Federation isn’t as easy; Lynch educated Lance on knowledge, enabling him to better assist in work.
This also eases Lynch’s work pressure, no need to spend all day here.
Two people talked for over two hours. Initially, Lynch thought half an hour would be sufficient for the talk.
But Lance had too many doubts and questions, his excited face blended with a trace of eagerness kept prolonging the ti planned.
By the end, Lance admired Lynch like a student, no longer assessing Lynch by his age, identity, as a standard for personal ability, but viewing him as a truly successful person.
Even... a Legend!
The entire process Anna was listening; sotis, she even forgot what to do, just standing dazedly, then desperately morizing key information.
After Lance left, Lynch pointed to the sofa, signaling her to sit down.
"In the next period, I’ll primarily arrange my schedule around work here. For so less important matters, you can help solve them."
Anna was a bit surprised, "I don’t know... this is sowhat unfamiliar to ; I’ve never worked on this kind of task!"
"I also don’t know if I can do it well..."
It was clear she was speaking honestly; the core industries of the Akiner Clan are all related to mining. It’s said they maintain good relations with the Duncan Clan because the Akiner Clan often buys slaves sold by the Duncan Clan for mining.
Of course, this is undoubtedly unsubstantiated slander. Neither the Duncan Clan nor the Akiner Clan would do such things that are expressly prohibited in the Federation.
This also reflects Anna’s lack of opportunity to have dealings related to Lynch’s work; most she encounters are industries, mining, etc.
Lynch shrugged, "Future trends, you learn, understand ahead of others, which will benefit your future developnt greatly."
"You ntioned competition last ti, that everyone can start a business once?"
Lynch rembered this matter, and Anna nodded in acknowledgnt, "Yes, each of us only has one chance to start a business."
"This is the best choice, financial investnt.", Lynch’s voice was filled with persuasive power, "This isn’t industry; it ans you don’t need to produce, without orders, you can still earn profits."
"Even if your insight is flawed and the investnt fails, it still won’t leave you with no chance to try again."
"You can link one fund with ten businesses and fetch more returns, adapting better to the current era developnt than other entrepreneurial projects!"
Anna was almost persuaded. Initially, she planned to set up a processing plant.
Because of family industries along with the Star Dream Butterfly Conglorate, she knows so developers. They need various steel materials for building, and she has such connections.
Securing orders safely, generating profit wouldn’t be difficult.
Yet she clearly understands, such a business can work but cannot grow large.
If she wants to compete with other siblings for the next Akiner Clan Leader position, solely relying on providing various steel materials to developers won’t suffice.
What she can do, her siblings can do too, only ensuring she doesn’t lose but won’t make her win!
She needs to win, only by winning can she live the life she desires.
In silence, Anna gradually persuaded herself; perhaps she truly should try it; maybe this is a good idea.
