Chapter 275 Laziness, Arrogance
Mark is very interested in most businesses, and he helps the mayor manage the mayor's assets, which are not illegal of course.

In Baylor Federation, it is not illegal for a politician to have his own business. Many businessmen suddenly feel the weight on their shoulders in the process of doing business, or have some good ideas and want to help more people get rich , they turn from businessmen to politicians.

They will not have to sell all their properties just because they become politicians, let alone engage in any business activities just because they become politicians.

In the Baylor Federation, there is no such standard. The only thing that these status-changing people need to pay attention to is that they cannot use their power for personal gain, that's all.

The mayor handed over his assets to Mark to manage, mainly to avoid suspicion. It's like people can really defecate here without marking a section of the road that defecates here.

While it's not really illegal to do that, it always feels a little...

It is much more convenient for Mark to manage it on his behalf. At least in many cases, the mayor can tell the public without shame that they are on the same side, and he can even announce the deposit balance in his hidden account to show his noble character.

In the process of managing these assets, Mark will not only get a part of the commission, but also operate his own money. Mark has indeed made a lot of money in these years. After all, there is such an uncle mayor who wants to live in Sabine Failed investment in the city is a very difficult thing.

After Lynch came back from Bu Paine, Mark found him and talked about the recent investment by the way. He thought it was a very suitable investment, and of course he still used his own money.

He scraped together some money and put it in. Hart is a very sensible person, and he gave Mark a very low price, as long as 25 can invest in a house.

After six years, this house can be resold to Hart at a price of 5 yuan a set, doubling in six years. This kind of profit speed makes Mark sink into it, and he also plans to let Lynch and him Invest together.

It's not that he accepted Hart's benefits, but he just wanted to share his successful investment experience. This kind of behavior is very common in some social processes.

That's how some inside information gets out—you say you know it, I say I know it, and then everyone knows it!
Lynch turned him down and offered to have a better project on his hands, which cheered Mark up.

"What are you talking about?", but soon he hesitated again, "I'm a little tight now, you know, I just gave Mr. Hart more than 20 in cash, and I may not be able to get it together for a while Too much money coming!"

Lynch waved his hand, "Money is not a problem, you can listen to my project first, and then think about money..."

After Mark nodded in agreement, Lynch talked about his plan. His plan did not actually involve commercial fraud or the like, but a really good project.

"You know, in a few days the bank will start auctioning off some assets of the Ristorian Group to compensate those who were injured during work and lost their ability to work and live!"

Mark nodded again, he knew about it, and he also participated in it. He invested 10 yuan to take up 15.00% of Lynch's newly established charitable private equity fund. Subsequent bidding won the bid, and he knew these things.

Lynch paused for about three or four seconds, and continued, "Many families in Sabine City are facing huge troubles. As a Sabine City entrepreneur with a sense of social responsibility and a sense of justice, I decided to take the responsibility. Take your own responsibility."

"I will place orders for families who are in desperate need of work, and I will rent out sewing machines to them, and I will even subsidize part of the material money."

"They only need to produce the goods I need according to my requirements, and they can get the remuneration they should get from me, and the money is much more than they work in the factory!"

Mark was not interested in the two sentences before him at all. He didn't care about social responsibility or justice. He only had food, drink, fun and money in his mind. Apart from these things, there was nothing else to distract him.

From the perspective of a loser, this is also where Mark failed the most, because he got the result before he experienced the struggle. He can taste the sweet and sweet wine without long and hard work. The process is not exciting, and the result is naturally too will become flat.

Well, the above sentence is just a relatively decent and educated way to explain envy, jealousy and hatred, which is a relatively mild way of expression.

What Mark is really interested in is the latter line, "Much more money?" His voice rises slightly. "How much is that?"

The corner of Lynch's mouth slightly √, "How much effort you put in, how much money you can get, do you understand what I mean?"

Mark's expression became serious. He corrected his lazy sitting posture, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and lit it. "Tell me in detail!"

"Currently, the federal factories still adopt the hourly wage system, and workers enjoy the protection of various laws because of this. They can even be lazy at work, but they can still get the same money as others."

"It doesn't really make sense to us because they don't pay for their hard work and get something they don't deserve."

"But now I have some new ideas. It's called the 'piecework method'. These small family-based workshops take money from me based on their actual output. The advantage of this is that if someone is lazy, then they Just get nothing."

"But you know, Mark, I have a lot of things to do as a person, and I don't have that much time to take care of these details. I need some partners."

"I will give you a relatively favorable price, and then you can leave sufficient profit margins for yourself, and then give these orders to those who need work."

"You helped your uncle and solved the problem of some people not having a job. If they had a job, they would not go to demonstrations outside the city hall all day long. Their families also eased the huge economic pressure. People will thank you kindness and generosity."

"Everyone is going to say you're good and you're making money, you know what I mean?"

Mark frowned and thought for a while, then nodded slowly, "You mean you contracted this job to me, and then I subcontracted it to other people, and I got some benefits from it?"

Lynch nodded, that's what he meant, but soon Mark shook his head, "Sorry, I'm not very interested in this project, I let you down!"

It was not too surprising for Mark to reject Lynch. Mark is a typical rich man who does not rely on himself to obtain wealth. He does not want to do too much practical work, but also wants to enjoy money, power and status. The privilege of coming, is very common for the rich and powerful family waste.

As a friend Lynch certainly wouldn't say that about him, it's just a way of expressing it.

"Since you're not interested, forget it, someone will be interested!", he kept smiling, but he knew that Mark would still come to him in the end.

If the project he invests in Hart only uses his own money, once Hart really runs away, it means that he has lost hundreds of thousands of funds. If he wants to fill this loophole, he must change the current situation. As a picky eater, he would eat everything, otherwise he would not be able to recover his losses in a short time.

If his investment also used the mayor's money, then he would come to Lynch even more. This is obviously not a business that the mayor has explained.

As a business related to certain sensitive groups like this, the mayor, as the ruler of the city, should and must understand that this is not a place for him to reach out.

Well done, people will not be grateful to him, because he is lying on the poor to suck blood, the poor are already so poor, and the mayor will not let them go, which will make the mayor's image bad.

If he does not do well, people will not let him go. At that time, the attacks from all levels of society will make him burnt out, and he will also leave his own name in the history of York State - notoriety.

After skipping this matter, Lynch and Mark talked about some cooperation that they need next.

On the third day after this meeting, the bank was entrusted by the city hall to hold a closed-door auction of some assets of the Ristorian Group in a conference hall of the Sabine Hotel, and Lynch was also listed. in.

There were quite a few people sitting in the hall. Lynch thought that Joe Griman would keep a low profile and not show any obvious relationship with him, but what surprised him was that Joe Griman sat next to him as soon as he came up. , chatted with him.

"Is this okay?" Lynch gave him a cigarette, took the opportunity to light the fire and approached him and asked in a low voice. auctioneer.

As the organizer of this auction, will Joe Griman's current behavior cause unnecessary associations in some people?

Unexpectedly, Joe Griman changed from his low-key style in the past, he smiled contemptuously, and his gaze slowly passed over the faces of some people.

All the people under his gaze bowed their heads in humility.

"It doesn't matter, they know what to do!" Joe Griman, who had been suppressed for half a year, regained his power, and now he has become stronger than before.

Hundreds of bank employees were dismissed for various reasons. At the Sabine City Bank quarterly meeting, these dismissed people were all characterized as unsuitable to continue working for the bank, and the risk department also marked them with some orange marks. performance, to indicate that their continued work may cause losses to the bank, and then these people will either be transferred to remote places, or they will be dismissed directly.

But everyone knew exactly why these people were dismissed from their jobs, which also made Joe Griman flourish in the Sabine City Jinhui Bank system!
Lynch looked at him, stared at the arrogance on his face, and reminded him a little, "Your opponent also made the same mistakes as yours, I don't want you to be next!"

To be honest, this sentence is very rude. It can even be said that Lynch slapped Joe Griman in the face, which hurt his cheeks.

But it was precisely this sentence that caused Joe Griman's expression to change. He became serious, then nodded slightly, got up and walked back to his seat.

He asked the bank staff around him, "Has anyone seen my lighter?"
