After dinner, the lady of the house went to visit her precious daughter, while Mr. Wardrick went with Lynch to Wardrick’s study.
Although Lynch is a scoundrel, Wardrick can distinguish between public and private matters. He wouldn’t express resentnt due to Lynch’s rejection of his daughter and refuse to communicate; that’s just a personal matter.
"Want one?", sitting in that exaggerated chair, Mr. Wardrick took out a delicate single box from the Kleve box on the table and poured out the golden pure essence.
Lynch thought about it, reached out, and took three, putting them into his pocket.
Watching Lynch’s almost rogue-like behavior, Mr. Wardrick was first stunned and then laughed heartily, pointing at Lynch, "Which one is the real you?"
Lynch showed absolutely no sha, "Each and every one!"
His candid and undisguised attitude made Mr. Wardrick look at Lynch in a better light, as he also understood the value of these pure essences outside.
Lynch wasn’t very knowledgeable in this area, so he didn’t know that each year the producers of these pure essences give gifts with personal insignia to investors, a detail only those well-versed would recognize.
In the pattern under the trademark on its iron box outside, there would be tiny markings—Gifted to Mr. So-and-so.
Upon opening the package, similar content would be embossed on the edge of one of the tobacco leaves, indicating to whom this pure essence was gifted.
Not everyone has their own mark; these signify different levels of status, as ordinary rich individuals lack the clout to have their nas printed on these top-tier pure essences, only top consortium leaders covered by Mr. Wardrick and Mr. Pato have such qualifications.
Owning one of these pure essences, it can be as valuable as Mr. Wardrick’s signature in critical tis!
Naturally, this was the reason why Lynch took two extra, because he noticed how useful this item was; even at the level of the governor, gifting one can yield excellent results.
In at most fifteen days, the state election will be over, and by then he will attend the governor’s celebration. If he could present one at this ti, it would definitely have a very good effect.
From a modern perspective, relying on borrowed authority is the most efficient combination; the fox doesn’t worry about its reputation not being enough, nor does the tiger need to bare its teeth.
Mr. Wardrick adeptly clipped both ends, lit it with a blowtorch, and took a couple of draughts, then waved his hand as if to disperse the smoke around him, "Alright, alright, in the future, you’ll also have such opportunities, and by then, you must return a box!"
If there are no unforeseen circumstances, Lynch will definitely have a place in the top capital circle of the Federation in the future, this is Mr. Wardrick’s intuition and his rational view.
He’s observed Lynch, hence the thought; Lynch differs from those climbing step by step within the system, as he has seen through how society operates and identified invisible barriers.
He understands these things, so he cleverly avoids them, which is the truly amazing part.
The Federation doesn’t lack outstanding young people, in purely discussing "ability," Lynch might not be the best, but these people differ from Lynch.
These people can’t see through the fog, no matter how distinguished they are, they ultimately must surrender to the chanism and rules of societal operation, to be exploited and utilized by superior dominators.
An outstanding young person graduating from Saint Harmony Alliance Schools desiring to realize his value, the best way is to work in a consortium.
He might need ten to fifteen years to climb from an office clerk to beco a partner of a significant subsidiary within the consortium.
Only then could he be a mber of the subsidiary’s board, and then for five to ten years accumulating his strength, around fifty, potentially becoming the chairman or vice-chairman of the company’s board.
Maybe by sixty or seventy, he could be a partner holding between one ten-thousandth to two ten-thousandths of consortium shares.
He almost spends a lifeti proving he’s remarkable because he cannot escape societal rules; no matter his ability, he must climb step-by-step according to crafted rules, reaching a peak he can never really attain.
So ask, what if you start your own business after graduating?
It’s essentially the sa. In the Federation, big players don’t focus on small companies, but once a small company shows potential, it’s watched by the Bupen vultures accustod to annex and split.
In the Federation, finance-related laws are the most plentiful. So think these laws erge to better protect investors and entrepreneurs’ rights, but in reality, the agenda for these legislations is to better participate and make quick money.
For example, federal acts stipulate a company’s market value reaching a certain scale must be publicly listed.
You can withdraw from public listing, but you must first be listed.
Why must one list first? This is for other capital big shots to reasonably use the law as a weapon to divide the pie; once stocks are listed, engaging in the free market buying and selling, they have many thods to infiltrate the board, gradually occupying majority seats, eventually to take over the company.
Or simply taking advantage of the listing to rake in profits, before shattering the company to pieces, since it’s so uncooperative.
Entrepreneurs seeking great developnt must receive various capital investnts from the first step, with them holding the majority shares, many realizing post-success that they are rely high-level employees.
His company was never his since the first financing, leading him now, calmly looking at possibly less than ten percent of his stock, apart from bitter laughter and sighs, he gains nothing.
Whether serving others climbing up or diving into entrepreneurship, anyone developing within the Federation rules must accept the constraints of these rules, crafted by rule-makers who won’t let anyone easily possess the ability to challenge them.
But Lynch chose a path unimaginable by any to complete his first step; when people hadn’t yet looked globally, Lynch’s overseas influence had already expanded uncontrollably.
Even Mr. Wardrick assus he wanted to constrain Lynch’s developnt now, but he has no good thod.
It’s unlike dealing with others, making a call and suddenly seeing a promising group company partner swept out, nor saying hello to so people and having the whole industry montarily reject a company, severing its upstream and downstream businesses, leaving it constrained in despair until dismantled into pieces.
Lynch differs; he has no superiors, and no one can decide his future, not even the President. His main focus is abroad, maintaining intimate cooperation with the Federation’s higher-ups, choosing the elite route initially, attempting to leverage more authoritative individuals for checks doesn’t work.
Secondly, trying to trap him comrcially is challenging; not supplying goods?
He can entirely import from Gafura or elsewhere, Nagariel isn’t the Federation, despite United Developnt Company’s strong control over Nagariel, they are still unlikely to reject conditions for Gafura rchants docking trade.
This level of diplomatic dispute easily brews larger political issues, conflicting with each consortium’s interests, so they cannot restrain Lynch’s business’s "lifeline."
Unable to completely constrain him while he grows wildly in Nagariel, pushing, even personally orchestrating a nationwide uprising in Nagariel to aid in achieving ruling class turnover, enticing corruption of local officials, tying everyone with threats and rewards.
It can almost be said he opportunistically used the Provincial Governor’s family as leverage against the governor, supplenting with a beautiful future he almost obtained everything!
No one can control him; from the start, he never planned to place the crucial early developnt dostically but targeted Nagariel.
So believed he proposed exporting industrial machinery to Nagariel, wanting to aid Nagariel’s foundational industrial process as groundwork later.
No matter if he genuinely thought this, in short, he secured the most delightful fruits available.
Furthermore, he is planning concerning the Alia Region. Such a young man who initially saw through everything essentially, extending outside rules in frenzied, wild developnt, his future is unstoppable.
Mr. Wardrick believes that as long as Lynch doesn’t face accidents, Lynch will definitely have a place within Mr. Wardrick’s circle in the future.
This is also why he later agreed for his daughter to try, seeing Lynch’s developnt trajectory, though still sowhat risky, the prospects are greater.
Though regretful yet sowhat satisfactory is Lynch’s disinterest in his daughter, supposedly disdain towards his daughter, Mr. Wardrick more believes that Lynch doesn’t want his business ddled, which is the real key.
The two n, one old, one young, apparently with a age gap of twenty to thirty years, yet sohow... feel evenly matched, which is quite curious.
Currently, in front of Mr. Wardrick, is seemingly a perfect version of himself, filled with more arrogant ambitions, and more ticulous effective thods, as well as... selfishness and greed.
People often say selfishness and greed are bad, but when such bad extends outside, in expansion selfish and greedy, even if it doesn’t beco good, at least not as bad.
Lynch doesn’t feel any discomfort from his actions; with legs crossed, hands interlocked naturally pressing on his knees, "I’ll gift you a truckload!"
