Chapter 1114 Who is afraid of whom?

Because Lynch had been outside during this time, Anna did not spend the night at Lynch's villa today and returned home.

The huge restaurant is like a castle of medieval nobles, but the decoration inside is not very luxurious.

It was like a gathering place, with long tables placed in the wide space, with two benches on both sides of the long table, where the Akiner family gathered to eat.

The Akiner family claimed to be aristocrats, so they also had aristocratic traditions.

All, no matter what, must eat here as long as they are at home.

Including Mr Patou.

Mr. Patou sat at the middle table, taking the master's seat, and his brothers and sisters sat on either side of him, like uncles and aunts, all sitting at other tables.

Those people are too old and have let go of the power in their hands. They have left the power core of the Akiner family, and naturally they are not qualified to sit in the most prominent position.

At the same time, as the elders of Mr. Patu, they are also unwilling to look at the face of a junior when they are eating. They have been tired all their lives, and it is time to rest.

Only those in power are eligible to sit at Mr. Patu's table.

The other juniors are sitting on the table on the left side of this table. There are juniors who have attracted much attention. They represent the next era of the family. As long as Mr. Patu steps down as the head of the family, these people will become the core of this dinner .

The whole restaurant is like a big cafeteria, full of rigid and serious things.

According to the custom, after Mr. Patou picked up the knife and fork and enjoyed the main course tonight, people can only use the knife and fork, and they can't do anything before that.

Can't eat, can't drink, can't make a sound, can only sit.

It's just that today's process seems a bit wrong. Mr. Patu didn't pick up the knife and fork to enjoy today's excellent roast chicken and praised the chef's cooking skills. Instead, he pointed to the last few vacant seats at this table and said, " Anna, sit here."

For a moment, Anna, who was sitting at the front of the table on the left, had a blank mind. She just subconsciously stood up, bowed to the brothers and sisters at the same table, and then came to the table where Mr. Patu was, and sat at the end. last seat.

Almost everyone is paying attention to the changes here, and Mr. Patu's actions indicate that Anna is one step closer to the "end"!
If it wasn't for Mr. Patu and the family's ancestral precepts that were too "deep" to people, perhaps someone would have started talking in a low voice at this time.

At this time, the restaurant was still so quiet, so quiet that only the sound of bellows being pulled rapidly could be heard, wheezing and wheezing.

Before sitting down, Anna saluted everyone at the table, which was a required etiquette.

It is precisely because of these people at this table that the family can be as brilliant as it is now, but next time, she will not need to salute anymore, because she has also become "one of my own".

Mr. Patu then picked up a knife and fork, cut a piece of steaming meat from the roasted chicken leg, chewed it nine times in his mouth, and then swallowed it.

Then he picked up the napkin and wiped the oil stain that didn't exist at the corner of his mouth, turned his head and smiled and thanked the cooks standing aside, "Very delicious dinner, thank you."

The cooks bowed and left in a line, and then the restaurant became lively. People's movements made a lot of noise even if no one was talking.

No one eats at dinner unless he/she/it has something important enough to do, but obviously no one has big news today.

Everyone was holding back their doubts. They didn't know why Anna was able to sit at that table. They wanted to ask what happened, but they couldn't open their mouths. They all looked very uncomfortable.

Today's dinner may be the shortest time in this period of time. Soon the young people left the table, bowed to Mr. Patu's table and left the restaurant.

One by one, they want too much to know what happened.

Until the end, only Mr. Patu and Anna were left in the restaurant.

In an empty room, the slightest sound will be like ripples on a narrow water surface, constantly echoing.

Mr. Patu put down his knife and fork, and he looked at Anna.

"It's so weird..."

Mr. Patu took a wet towel and wiped his fingertips. He looked at Anna sitting opposite him, "Time, event, timing, everything is too coincidental!"

"You have to understand that when all the coincidences come together, it's not a coincidence!"

"I know you young people like to watch those messy TV dramas, when the heroine and the hero just sleep together and get pregnant..."

"Then it's an elaborate trap, it's no coincidence."

"Help me make an appointment with Lynch, I want to have a private talk with him!"

"I don't want a fourth person to know about this!"

The first time he spoke, Anna put down the knife and fork, bowed her head slightly to express her submission, and listened carefully.

After she heard what Mr. Patu said, although she didn't understand what he meant, she still expressed that she would do what Mr. Patu said.

Sometimes in such a big family, indifference to everyone is maintained.That's the best way.

You can't be enthusiastic about your children because you are the head of the family, or give them more resources, better resources, that will only keep accumulating conflicts until the conflicts erupt completely.

It is the easiest way not to treat these people as your own children. It is the same for everyone. This is limited justice, but at least he is fair!

Then Anna knew that she could get up and leave. She put down the knife and fork, cleaned her face and hands, stood up and bowed slightly to Mr. Patu, "Very delicious dinner, father."

After Mr. Patu nodded slightly in return, Anna left quickly.

After a few more minutes, he stood up, looked at the restaurant where he was alone, turned and left expressionlessly.

The next day, Anna came to the villa full of doubts, but luckily it was just doubts rather than experience.

"My father wants to talk to you in private." Anna didn't go around in circles, and directly stated the commission she accepted.

Lynch was not surprised at all, and Mr. Patu was not surprised when he noticed it. This is like an old hunter standing downwind and knowing whether there is any prey upwind.

Some things cannot be hidden, such as smells, traces after actions, and even behavioral inertia driven by animal instincts.

So is the market.

There are so many coincidences and coincidences, how could Mr. Patu, who specializes in resources business, not be aware of these problems.

Moreover, he is also the CEO of the Xingmengdie Consortium. He has a keen sense of the changes in the entire market, and he has discovered some problems.

What's more, Lynch had only been "curious" not long ago and asked some sensitive questions.

He can guess, it's not surprising!
Lynch gave an affirmative answer and agreed on a time.

A few days later in the evening, two people sat in a small boat on the artificial lake outside the city.

There are only two of them here, but neither of them has a fishing rod.

Lynch doesn't like fishing, he doesn't like wasting his limited time on fishing, he can understand the game between man and fish, and the joy of winning the game, but he just doesn't like this kind of time-wasting sport.

So the two of them just sat on the boat, facing each other, like idiots.

"I should bring a fishing rod. Even if I don't fish, at least it looks better." Lynch opened the mouth to warm up the scene. His opening remarks made Mr. Patu smile a little more.

This rigid guy rarely shows his emotions, and then the "he looks like he's smiling" feeling goes away and he's just normal.

"Okay, our time is limited, can we skip this paragraph?"

After getting Lynch's affirmation, Mr. Patu asked directly, "You plan to make a move on Baiyin, don't you?"

Lynch neither admitted nor denied, "Why do you think so?"

"Because Nagalil discovered an open-pit gold mine!"

"You are not in this business. You may not understand how sensitive we are to these things. The price of gold fell immediately after the gold mine was discovered."

"This has deepened people's concerns about gold, silver is so strong, you have to raise the price of silver!"

"The better and faster silver goes up, the more disappointed people are with gold, and vice versa."

"More money will flow from gold to silver, and you're still going to do something with silver."

Lynch is not surprised to hear Mr. Patu's analysis. Many people can analyze such results. What he is curious about is not here, but...

"why me?"

Mr. Patu looked at Lynch, "Among the people I know, you are the only one who fits my guess best."

"Lynch, not everyone dares to dance on a tightrope. I talked to you about it last time. You are making an enemy of the world."

"Maybe there are more than [-] billion funds in the market now. If you want to leverage it, those people will make you pay with your life."

Lynch shook his head after listening, "People always think about the good side when they consider the choices they make, just like me, no matter how radical it is, I will feel that I am successful."

"And when looking at other people's choices, they will be too conservative, and always feel that the possibility of failure will be greater."

"We can't just see the risk and not talk about the profit, Mr. Patu, you should understand that the greater the risk..."

Mr. Patu continued almost without a pause, "The greater the reward!"

Lynch nodded, "Yes, 100 billion, even if I can only put 5.00% of it in my pocket, it is worth the risk."

"As for whether anyone you consider will hurt me through other methods..."

Lynch pursed his lips and thought for a while, then said with a smile, "I will be their danger before they pose a danger to me!"
