Chapter 313 When You Hate Someone, Even His Breathing Is Wrong

"Father, is everything going well?"

Simon, who had just returned home, was greeted by his second son. Mr. Simon had two sons, one was his son born to his legal wife in his own country, and he was also his eldest son.

In this era, people always call some businessmen who like to travel abroad as "adventurous speculators", and some businessmen even claim to be "descendants of adventurers", but only they themselves know.

Except for a few people who want to take their careers to a new peak, most of the "wandering" businessmen do not intend to go out for a living.

This world is not safe enough, and the transportation is not convenient. This is not the era when most corners of the world can be reached in a day or two, and this place is still quite backward.

If it is not necessary, no one is willing to take huge risks to leave an environment they are extremely familiar with and go to an environment full of strangeness to fight with their lives.

But they can't help it because they're all losers, including Mr. Simon.

He is also such a loser. He used to run a processing factory, but it closed down due to poor management. After bankruptcy, he took what little money he had left to venture outside.

It is precisely because it is full of danger that his wife and children stay in the country, and only he leaves alone.

Until now, he has struggled outside for more than [-] years, traveled through many countries, and finally got a chance in Nagalil.

In order to better integrate into the local society, he married a local woman as his wife, and fortunately gave birth to a son. Forming a local family made him well accepted by the local people and also provided some assistance for his career.

His former wife and children also knew about these things. Although they sometimes complained, most of the time they were indifferent.

The long time of separation is a problem. Secondly, their life is completely dependent on Mr. Simon sending them money every month. Even if they think Mr. Simon is doing too much, they will not say it.

His local wife and children in Nagalil also know that he has another wife, and they don't have any opinions. The local culture is like this. A capable man wants to take care of more girls and have more outstanding offspring. It's a very normal thought.

We all know each other, except for a few contacts, we basically have no communication at ordinary times.

Mr. Simon glanced at his son who was standing by the door to greet him. His expression didn't improve obviously. He handed the briefcase to the second son without answering. After changing his shoes, he went straight into the study.

The second son followed closely. After entering the study, Mr. Simon shook his head, "You don't need to know these things. How is your studies?"

His second son moved his cheeks and lowered his head slightly with a smile, "My teacher told me that I should be able to go to Nagalil National University!", with some pride in his tone.

Nagalil National University is the number one university in Nagalil. Many children of the country's ruling class are studying here. In order to let these children receive the best education, many teachers here are from abroad. .

The local people, including the ruling class, are wary of foreign affairs while envious of foreign things, which is very contradictory, especially on the issue of education.

Teachers from abroad will definitely be better than domestic teachers... Well, this is indeed very reasonable, so this also gives national universities a high status in people's minds.

Mr. Simon's second son is good at school and works very hard. In addition, his family is very rich. The teachers treat him more patiently than others, and sometimes give them a little trouble. His studies are much better than other students. many.

Over the years, he has always wanted to prove his excellence to Mr. Simon through some things, because of his father's expectations of his studies, he has been working hard to study hard.

Because his father spoke in a bad tone when talking about those fat people, although he is also fat himself, so he maintains a healthy body shape.

He doesn't have puppy love, doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, and even religion has little influence on him. He just wants to prove that he is his father's best child, that's all.

But it is a pity that sometimes even if some people have worked hard, it is difficult to change anything, because hard work cannot overcome prejudice.

Mr. Simon frowned, "National University is just a third-rate school in my eyes. If you can be so happy going to a third-rate university, your future is limited to this!"

He paused as he spoke, and said impatiently, "Okay, go do your business, I have to work!"

His second son forced a smile, put the briefcase on the table, bowed and left the room.

In fact, the efforts of the second son have always been noticed by Simon, but this is a "bastard", which seems to be a bit of an attack on himself, but it also explains some problems very accurately. He is a mixed race, a mongrel.

No matter how hard the second son works, he can't change the fact that his birth and existence is a kind of performance and sincerity of Mr. Simon to cater to the local forces in Nagalil.

He is not a natural product, not the crystallization of love, but a tool, so no matter how hard he tries, he can't change these things. From the very beginning, Mr. Simon didn't really regard him as his own son.

His skin is a little darker than Mr. Simon's, and Mr. Simon's eldest son, and his facial features are different, his body when he talks, his...

When a person denies another person from the root, even if it's just an insignificant little thing, it will be magnified and disgusted.

The door of the room was slowly closed, and the bent second son clenched his fists. The moment he looked up, some negative emotions on his face instantly turned into a smile. He will continue to work hard. He believes that one day, this father will face him squarely. .

Inside the door, Mr. Simon didn't know how his second son's heart had changed. He didn't care about this, what he cared about was Lynch's attitude.

Lynch's attitude gave him a bit of a headache. To be honest, once Lynch reached an agreement with the Governor-General, it meant that not only would it not be as easy for him to do business, but he might also encounter some troubles.

International businessmen are not as easy to fool as the locals in Nagalil. The locals have not seen much of the world, and the content of the contract is very loose.

In some international trades, the delivery time is often accurate to the minute, and claims can be made according to the contract if it exceeds 1 minute. Lynch cut off his source of goods, not to mention the loss of a profit, and he still has to face claims.

He can't sit still.

He picked up the phone and dialed Mr. Pretton's number. Nagalil already had a communication network that had begun to take shape, but there was no international line.

The call was quickly connected, and Mr. Pretton's magnetic voice soon rang through the receiver. He asked a question that Mr. Simon's second son had just asked, "Is the communication with Lynch going well?"

From Mr. Pretton's point of view, nothing is going well or not. Lynch doesn't have much to go, so his tone is very relaxed.

"Sorry, Mr. Pretton, Mr. Lynch said he would think about it..." Mr. Simon wiped the sweat from his forehead, narrowed his eyes slightly, and added a rather subjective sentence, " He didn't seem to care much about our proposal."

"Don't care?" Mr. Pretton's tone changed a bit, and just when Mr. Simon thought it was a good thing, he was still disappointed after all.

Mr. Pretton actually laughed at this time, and laughed out loud, "This is an interesting young man, you know, he is only 21 years old, you can't communicate with him in the way we communicate, we are not in the same place" frequency' on."

"But you don't have to worry, Simon. Young people are unwilling to follow the rules and like to challenge authority. That is their characteristic. After he hits a wall a few times, he will know how to choose."

"If there is any new progress, please feel free to contact me..."

Mr. Pretton is a busy man. He doesn't have time to spend half a day with an agent of some products in the province. He still has a lot of things to do.

Looking at the phone that had no sound in his hand, Mr. Simon was stunned for a while before putting it back on the phone stand. Maybe Mr. Pretton was right and the matter would be resolved eventually.

Sitting behind the desk, Mr. Simon's mind became a little confused. He thought of the envy and jealousy in the eyes of some friends when they chatted with some friends when they returned home.

Thinking of the indifferent relationship between his eldest son and him, it seemed that only the child who looked like him when he was young would smile a little when he saw the check.

He thought about what his private investigator had told him that his wife at home seemed to have a lover, which he chose to ignore.

He thought of his young wife and the second son who was not like him and made him often feel impatient.

In a daze, he didn't even realize that he fell asleep...

From the second day after Lynch came back, some local businessmen came to Lynch with their goods every day to show Lynch their things.

The words of Michelhaye and Lynch not only alarmed big business figures like Mr. Pretton, but also gave local businessmen a glimmer of "dawn".

Preton Trading Company will set a standard purchase price every year, buy a large amount of goods from local merchants at a low price that local merchants can barely afford, and then sell them to all parts of the world at a high price.

Even if the local merchants know that they buy low and sell high, there is nothing they can do. Whether it is the Preton Trading Company or other big merchants, they are tacitly obeying this pricing rule, which can make them earn more.

But this also made the local merchants feel more uncomfortable. They could only watch these people sell the things in their hands for several times and dozens of times, but they had no choice.

Until now, they seem to have seen new hope!
