Chapter 1396

"I know you!"

Peleus also found a napkin to wipe his hands, reached out and shook Lynch.

His hands were... plump, which made his fingers look stubby, but not greasy, and soft.

"People say you are the best of the younger generation!"

Peleus looks to be in his thirties, but Lynch is not very clear about how old he is. Federation people sometimes look old, and sometimes they look young, which is very complicated.

However, from the tone of Peleus's words, he could hear that he was a little unconvinced, but it didn't matter, there were many people who were unconvinced these days, and Lynch wouldn't care.

He was a little humble, "Thanks for everyone's support!"

Peleus froze for a moment, he didn't immediately understand the meaning of Lynch's words, he thought for two or three seconds before laughing, "You are much more interesting than I imagined, Lynch."

"Speaking of which, Truman often mentioned you. Sometimes when we had dinner, he said that you are very smart and proud."

Mr. Truman's family has also been a soldier from the very beginning, and has been passed down from generation to generation. Although the military rank is not very high, it is only possible to be promoted to a general when he comes to Truman's side, but his connections in the military are not at all. Not weak.

The military families of this era are often united together. They firmly control the federal army in a way that outsiders cannot understand.

In order to ensure that this unity will continue, each general will have a good relationship with the other generals.

It's very common to have dinner together and communicate with each other.

Of course, this refers to their descendants, not themselves. After all, their status and status are different. It is too sensitive for them to do so, and the media and the public will not be happy.

Lynch replied with a smile, "I will treat him to dinner!"

Peleus couldn't help it, and laughed softly, "You are so interesting, Lynch, just like Truman said, you are very proud, but your pride is not annoying!"

He paused as he spoke, "Then shall we continue eating?"

He didn't seem to want to talk about other things, and Lynch naturally wouldn't spoil the fun. The two of them chatted about some delicious food while eating.

After Lynch said a few things that Peleus hadn't eaten, the exchange ended, and neither party had any intention of communicating in private, so they separated.

When he returned to Mr. Wardrick, he looked at Lynch with a smile, "It looks like you failed."

Lynch raised his eyebrows, "Why do you say that?"

Mr. Wardrick took it for granted, "You didn't exchange business cards or leave contact information. In fact, many people hope to open some windows from Peleus."

"Their family's influence in the military is too deep. If they can convince him, it means they can at least become an important partner of the military."

"But over the years, no one has succeeded. He looks fat and stupid. Most people are deceived by his appearance!"

To be able to name "Winning", the elders in the family are either generals of the Federal Army or Navy. Uncles, brothers and sisters in the family are almost all officers or cadres related to the army.

Peleus is also the offspring of the marriage of two military figures, and was placed with great expectations before he was born.

Such a person may not have received as much education in a certain aspect as the exquisite details of those big families, but it is definitely not bad.

There have been many people around him since he was a child, because he is fat, and his obesity makes him look not very smart. Many people think that he will be the key to his career in the upper class.

Unfortunately, no one has succeeded.

No matter where he appears, the only thing he does is eat, drink, listen, and he does nothing else.

Even the smallest things, such as what is delicious and what is not, he will not express his opinion.

It is because he seems to have never had his own opinion that many people feel that he is getting more and more stupid, but no one can win his trust.

So on occasions like today, no one went to talk to him, so he just ate at the dining table by himself.

In Mr. Wardrick's view, Lynch couldn't do it either.

Lynch smiled and did not refute.

He always believed that everyone has weaknesses, desires, and needs, and the only question is whether you can find these things.

You can't think that you can't find it just because others can't find it. This is not Lynch's attitude!

The two then talked about the gathering. After the buffet, there was a salon with the theme of free trade at home and abroad.

Very broad, without any core content, in fact it is not simple.

After the buffet was over, Lynch saw this.

The host is a third-level member, his badge flashes like fire under the light, especially the eyes of the real eye, as if there is really an eye secretly observing the world.

Some industries and companies mentioned by the host, if you do a serious investigation, you will understand that these industries belong to the Duncan family.

When the host talked about a heavy industry company, Mr. Wardrick, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke, talking about his heavy factory and military orders recently, as well as the expected development and some plans that could be revealed.

He talked about the benefits of merger development and some issues of industrial upgrading, which are currently the most popular topics.

What should be done to endow some ancient industries with new vitality in the new era, so that they can continue?
Then the host talked about some resources. At this time, Mr. Patu talked about the future of the resource industry.

It's like...another cold dinner party. What people eat is no longer the delicacies that are placed on the plates on the cold table, but the property of the Duncan family.

They were talking about the ways and means of dismembering it, and how to better plunder it to strengthen themselves.

Many people think that the Holy Harmony is a very united secret society, but it is not.

This is a loose alliance, everyone exchanges some intelligence information, or cooperates together, it does not require all members to be closely united with each other, and it does not even limit the interests of the members.

Fighting in every sense.

In fact, the core value of capitalism is also implemented here-the supremacy of interests.

So here, the law of species of nature is also implemented.

It is their destiny for the weak to be annexed by the powerful.

In the same way, people will not condemn them for doing something wrong just because a strong one devours a weak one. They will only congratulate them for making themselves bigger and less likely to be swallowed by other behemoths!

Without morality, capitalism is all about profit, and they are not interested in anything but profit.

Everyone is expressing their opinion, only a few people are not speaking.

Peleus is one of them, but everyone is no longer surprised. He is like the mouthpiece of the family behind him, conveying what he heard here, and then letting the generals make decisions.

Lynch didn't speak either, which was surprising. You must know that Lynch is not such a low-key guy. He said a lot of things that have become the foundation of some new disciplines.

For example, "Financial Warfare" and the like have put forward their own thinking and understanding after collation by many scholars and experts, and gradually evolved into a new discipline.

And Lynch is the founder, not one of them.

Whether in front of the media, in public, or in private, he always had a lot to say, behaving very much in the spirit of federal liberty.

But today he didn't say anything, but it made many people very curious.

The host specifically clicked on him, "I noticed that Mr. Lynch was a little shy when he joined our party for the first time, but I believe everyone is enthusiastic and will help him integrate into us faster..."

Some of people's chuckles are well-meaning, some are not, and some are malicious.

Not everyone loves Lynch, and not everyone loves his never-failing, ever-moving saga.

The host looked at him, "Do you want to say something?"

Lynch sat on the large sofa, he first nodded to the host, and then told a short story.

"I heard an interesting story that there was a group of coyotes on the mountain outside the town. There were a lot of them, and they were hiding in the forest. People had nothing to do."

"Then a traveler passing through town said he had come across a pack of coyotes out in the countryside, and they didn't seem to be doing well."

"So people in the town started thinking about how they could trade these coyotes for some money."

“Some people say coyote skins can be sold for money, some people say coyote teeth are good collectibles, others say there is a market for coyote bones and meat, and some people propose that coyotes can be sold to circuses.”

The room was quiet, and the people who could sit here were not fools, and they immediately realized that Lynch was mocking them.

And this is the biggest difference between real gentlemen and fake gentlemen. Even if they knew that they were being ridiculed, they did not retort angrily, but continued to listen quietly to what Lynch had to say.

If you can't tolerate some of the shortcomings that others find in you, then you will never improve!

People know this!
Lynch pursed his lips and continued with a smile, "Then the people in the town decided to go into the mountains to catch these coyotes, but they didn't think about some issues."

"Did the traveler lie, was the situation in the mountains really that bad, and were the coyotes he saw what the townspeople thought they were!"

He straightened his clothes and changed the subject, "Gentlemen, when we are about to face a pack of hungry wolves, the first thing we need to do is to arm ourselves and be fully prepared."

"At the same time, we must also realize that wolves will not wait to be slaughtered by people, they will always resist!"

"If they resist, what should the people who entered the mountain do?"

"If you don't want to be clear, if you don't solve these problems, no matter how much we discuss, it's meaningless!"
