Chapter 382 Innocent and Cute
This time I invited Lynch to come over for a chat, just to find out some news. This society is composed of thousands of such relationships and then connected into a big network.

Lynch chatted with Mr. Wardrick for about an hour before leaving. He stood behind the glass window of the study and watched Lynch leave. Mr. Wardrick's expression was very calm.

He walked back to the desk and sat on the chair, with his fingertips pressed together, he lowered his head and thought about the conversation he had with Lynch.

Judging from the media and people's mouths, the current economic situation in the Federation seems to be pretty good.

The momentum of deterioration has stopped, and some factories have begun to resume work. The economy seems to be picking up soon, and the light is about to tear the darkness.

In fact, this is not the case. The media will only report some good news on these matters, positive good news, news that makes people feel excited, but in fact the situation is not much better than before.

The goods dumped from the free trade zone have destroyed more large and medium-sized enterprises. From the perspective of the capitalists in the Federation, this is simply a...strange thing, or a miracle.

The selling price of foreign goods locally is lower than the cost price of similar goods produced locally. This kind of thing only exists in the mouths of liars, but now it has become a reality!
The other party has to bear the freight and various expenses of transoceanic transportation, and also maintains a profit. No businessman opens a factory to produce goods for dedication, so how do they do it?
These problems have always plagued the merchants of the Federation. Even if they make adjustments in production processes, production materials and workers' wages, they are still not competitive.

Some agencies were commissioned to investigate these dumped goods, and finally they found a result that made them jaw-dropping. The producers of these dumped goods relied on subsidies from their governments to make profits.

It is true that they have suffered serious losses by dumping similar products that have run on the Federation at ultra-low prices, but their government will give them very generous financial subsidies and various preferential policies so that they will not only not lose money, but will be able to earn a lot from other places. Pen.

This also exacerbated the dumping of various commodities to the Federation. Under the impact of cheap commodities, a large number of factories that did not have the ability to resist risks went bankrupt and closed down. generate profit.

Matches and lighters, these two ubiquitous small commodities have been completely reduced to the world of imported commodities in the south.

The local factories in the south couldn't compete with foreign dumped goods in terms of prices, and they had completely gone bankrupt. Except for a few few who were still barely supporting, the others were all gone.

It is obviously not cost-effective to transport from the central region or other places. The cost of logistics makes these worthless things still uncompetitive after being transported. Therefore, dealers in the south began to import a large number of these from foreign merchants. Commodities that are cheaper than local production costs.

But at the same time, there were also a few high-end products of the same brand with high specifications, and they actually sold well.

In fact, not only matches and lighters are facing these problems, many things are facing these problems, including Mr. Wardrick's consortium, which has also begun to be affected by various dumped commodities, creating some crises and a sense of crisis.

There are some ideas within the consortium, and now everyone is looking for money abroad, so why doesn't the consortium follow this trend and also explore the international market?
This idea is not considered the mainstream opinion in the consortium. Mr. Wardrick also holds this idea and is even one of the advocates of this trend.

But more, there are still some people with a conservative attitude, and they are recently promoting some new proposals to change the current situation.

For example, they plan to promote some kind of protection bill, allowing banks to give companies long-term low-interest or even interest-free loans to help companies tide over difficulties.

Another example is that they are actively planning to promote a bill to increase tariffs on dumped goods, and artificially increase the sales cost of these goods in the Federation, so as to give all enterprises a chance to survive.

But in the final analysis, these things are all passive. Once a new situation arises, they will fall into passiveness again. Therefore, some young people, such as Mr. Wardrick, want to fundamentally change this situation , Go outside to obtain resources to feed back the domestic consortium.

The advantage of using active offense instead of passive defense is that even if new situations arise in the future, the impact on the consortium will not be great.

But those old men—yes, Mr. Wardrick is already in his fifties, but he is still a "young man". People who occupy his position in the consortium are basically in their 70s, [-]s or even older. The old man is old, he is only in his early fifties, and he is still so young.

These gentlemen, who have experienced many historical stages of the Federation, have been conservative in their bones. Compared with the more appropriate methods, which they are better at, the ideas of Mr. Wardrick are a bit radical.

They didn't disagree, nor would they firmly oppose it, but wanted to persuade each other.

This is probably the last "freedom" of the consortium. They want to canvass votes on the board of directors, persuade people from the opposite camp to stand on their side, form a dominant group, and then win the resolution.

It sounds a bit complicated, but it is actually a routine with politicians - most of them.

Get some information from Lynch and release some signals at the same time, which gives Mr. Wardrick a better rhetoric when he wins others to stand with him-"I talked to Mr. Lynch before through these things."

It sounds a bit unbelievable, when did Lynch gain such a great reputation?
In fact, this matter cannot be brought in simply by concepts such as status, prestige, and power. It is just that Lynch happened to be deeply involved in this series of events. The event itself and his degree of participation gave him status and prestige. , Power adds a temporary weight.

It's like Mr. Truman, before he took up his current job, people didn't pay much attention to him. Now, he doesn't value him as a person, but the subjective and controllable power his position gives him.

So when the people Mr. Wardrick wants to persuade hear "Mr. Lynch", they will seriously consider some of the ideas put forward by Mr. Wardrick, but the name "Mr. Lynch" is only used in this place. matter.

If someone else mentioned "Mr. Lynch" when talking about other things, people would just sneer, because he didn't have much influence in those things, and he didn't have so much influence himself.

Mr. Wardrick, who sat in a chair and thought for a long time, picked up the phone, and he wanted to arrange some people to work next.

Since the turmoil in the Ameria region is in the interests of the Federation at this stage, it is obviously very important to cater to Lynch, or to cater to the national policy of Mr. Truman and Mr. President.

Following Mr. Wardrick's phone call, some federal businessmen in the Ameria region under the pretense of research began to contact those rebel organizations in private, and they had everything the rebel organizations wanted.

Weapons, ammunition, medicine, money, and the chance to leave the country. Of course, Mr. Wardrick expressed his needs in a very subtle and unobvious way, that is, there must be big news!

Negotiations resumed the next morning.

The people sitting on both sides of the negotiating table were all stern-faced. Lynch simply didn't want to give these people any good looks. The most basic competencies of those requirements.

They do not have the power and strength to bargain with the Federation. Lynch and the others are able to achieve such a "concession", but in fact it can still be said that the Federation is not tough enough in terms of foreign policy and methods.

This cannot be blamed on the federal government. They also need time to accept and learn how to force others to bow their heads. Of course, before that, the naval battle must be won. beat the world number one.

Compared with Lynch's stinky face, the faces of these members of the Nagalil delegation were also ugly. Lynch's unhesitating threat made them frightened again, and Mr. Truman's unconditional support attitude also made them They are a little scared.

Lynch is a lunatic, how can he go to war if he can't agree on the terms?

I'm afraid this isn't a negotiation on the establishment of diplomatic relations, is it?

But the situation is weaker than people, what else can I do besides endure?
They discussed these matters with those think tanks yesterday afternoon, and the think tanks simply told them some simple issues, as for how to decide, it is still in their hands.

In fact, whether the currency system collapsed is of little value to them. What really makes them feel a little troublesome is that they have to spend real money to eat the Federal Sol, and the amount is not small. This is a request they are unwilling to accept.

Unfortunately, Lynch saw through them early on. This is also a fatal flaw brought about by the hereditary system of power. The interests of the ruler's family are higher than the interests of the country. They only consider themselves, not the future of the entire country and people. .

"Mr. Lynch, we discussed the idea you proposed yesterday, and there are a few questions." The representative of Nagalil stared at Lynch closely to prevent him from suddenly blowing his hair.

Lynch did not refuse to ask the other party to raise conditions, but nodded and let the other party continue to say that it is not now that they want to turn their backs.

"The first question, can you reduce the number you put forward, 500 billion sols, which is roughly equal to [-] trillion galils, the treasury can't afford this money."

"Second question, if we can reach an agreement on the specific figures, it will be difficult for United Bank to spend so much money at one time, and it will be the responsibility of the banks themselves in the end."

"We discussed it. If the foreign exchange is taken in, can it be divided into different investment banks' own reserves?"

"The third question, we are also deeply aware of the huge fluctuations of Galil in the foreign exchange market. We consider whether we can take the opportunity of buying the Federal Sol to let Galil's exchange rate peg the Federal Exchange Rate?"

Lynch almost laughed out loud after hearing these three points.

You fucking wanna fart!
