Chapter 573 A Traitor Has Been Found Among Us
"The people are almost due, so let's officially start the first board meeting of the joint development company. First of all, we should introduce ourselves so that others can get to know us, starting with me..."

The person who spoke was sitting in the chair. He looked about 60 years old and his hair was gray. However, people here cannot judge their age simply by their appearance.

The vast majority of people here have a good living environment, and have a social network that is difficult for ordinary people to reach. The pampered life allows them to avoid most of the factors that will make them aging, so each of them looks younger than theirs. Actual age is younger.

This old gentleman looks about 60 years old, maybe his actual age is almost 70 years old or over 60 years old, but his physical skills are like ordinary people around [-] years old.

Although money cannot make time stop on human beings, it can make time go a little slower as much as possible.

With this gentleman's self-introduction, the most luxurious presidium of the board of directors of the United Development Company is fully displayed in front of people.

If someone were to make a list like "Top Ten Consortiums in the Federation" or "Which are the most influential consortiums in the Federation", then the top ones would all appear here today.

People have known these things for a long time. When they paid for the shares of the joint development company, they had seen the list of the presidium of the board of directors, but at this moment when they really saw these people with their own eyes, people were still very excited.

Some people are so excited that their lips are trembling and their eyelids are jumping uncontrollably. People's awe of capital and money has been carved into their bones by capitalists.

If the members of the presidium extended their hands to other people at this time, I am afraid that many people would line up to shake their hands and show humility.

A personal self-introduction also gives people a deeper and three-dimensional impression of the board of directors of the joint development company.

Soon it was Lynch's turn. He stood up and faced everyone with a smile, "Chairmen and directors, some of us are meeting for the first time, and some of us are already familiar with each other. I am Lynch. Nice to meet you." Everyone……"

A very ordinary self-introduction without too many personal characteristics, but in such an occasion, what is needed is ordinary.

The maverick set is very useful for ordinary people at the bottom of society. They are immersed in the gray world and cannot break free. Only those maverick things can brighten their eyes and make their gray world more colorful.

But for the top class of society that has been colorful for a long time, being maverick means being out of the group.

You can say crazy things, you can do crazy things, ridiculous things, and no one will condemn you because people know "we're the same kind of people".

But it is not good to be independent, it will make people exclude themselves from "us". Lynch is very aware of this, so his self-introduction is very ordinary, without any bright colors.

It took more than half an hour for everyone to introduce themselves. Some people may speak slower and have more things to say. In short, after half an hour, the last shareholder sat down excitedly and spoke first. The old man in his sixties spoke again.

The old man's name is "Geruno", you can call him "Mr. Geruno", his surname is "Duncan", Geruno Duncan, a name that sounds a bit awkward, it doesn't look like What an amazing person's name.

But its owner is indeed very different. The Duncan family belonged to the first batch of adventurers who immigrated to the Federation. As long as they were the first batch of adventurers and "died" without any problems, they are doing well now. For example Mr Patou's "Akiner Family".

The Duncan family is the same, but their popularity among the public is not as high as others, because they are very low-key.

They distributed the shares roughly fairly to each clan member, as well as various foundations at home and abroad, which made them seem to have nothing to offer, well-known representative figures.

But in the circle of high society, among the real high-level people, the Duncan family is the family that should not be underestimated, they are very good at investing.

There have been three federal presidents in their family, and they are the largest landowners in the federation. They have very close ties with the five major oil companies in the federation, and have quite a few shares in the five major oil companies.

Most of the companies related to the mining industry have the shadow of their family. In short, no one knows how rich they are except themselves.

But people know that Mr. Patu's Star Dream Butterfly Consortium, the consortium behind Mr. Wardrick, and even other large consortiums have their people and their shares. This is why Mr. Geruno can represent the board of directors. Reason for statement by the Bureau.

Others do not have the qualifications. Whether it is Mr. Wardrick, who is more familiar with Lynch, or Mr. Patu, who is already familiar with him, if they speak on behalf of other chairmen, some people will definitely be somewhat unconvinced.

The Federation is not a country that pays attention to subtleties. If you don’t advocate your own rights, it is even less likely that others will care about the interests of those who dare not even speak up to protect their own rights. There will definitely be some conflicts at that time. Let Mr. Geruno speak , there is not so much trouble.

"I have read the company's financial report for the last quarter of last year, and I have to say that we have done a good job..." Mr. Geruno said with a smile, "Everything is in our plan, we found in Nagalil new opportunities."

"New opportunities, new developments, new futures, but also new troubles." Mr. Geruno's speech speed is not very fast, it seems that after a certain age, the speech speed will slow down.

It’s not that they can’t speak fast, or that they can’t speak clearly, but that they are afraid that others won’t be able to understand them, so they slow down.

It may be that they are worried that their expression is not clear enough, but Lynch feels that they are more worried that others will not be able to keep up with their speaking speed. He is also old, and he knows this very well.

"Some of those natives are not very friendly to us. This happened before we developed Nagalil. There are always some ignorant people who think their way is the best. We can't blame them for anything, but they affect It's our business."

"Because of the turmoil and parade, the company lost a lot of money. This is also one of the main issues of our board of directors this time, how to treat these indigenous people."

Lynch noticed that Mr. Geruno had been using the very derogatory term "indigenous" when talking about the Nagalilians. Arrogance, and a kind of contempt.

In fact, most of the main members of the big families who have continued from the founding of the Federation have similar attitudes, just like Mr. Patu's attitude towards the natives. He still wants to clean up and is not friendly at all.

This attitude actually stems from their "family glory". Anyone who is familiar with the history of the Federation knows that the development of the Federation is based on the continuous massacre of the natives of the Federation.

The more big families started from that period, the more aborigines were massacred. Now they don't publicize this to the outside world, but in the process of family education, it is inevitable that they will instill this kind of "ancestor glory" in their children. things.

It is said that it is a bit old... In fact, the family that has only been around for a few generations even has some special trophies, some of which come from the parts of the indigenous leaders with status, such as some creepy-looking, dried big ones. Thumbs, or some eyeballs soaked in jars.

Of course, these things are not the mainstream. The mainstream is still old photos of gentlemen with mustaches, dignified appearance, wearing top hats that symbolize civilization, holding civilization sticks, and stepping on the corpses of indigenous people.

These people are the first generation of immigrants from the Federation. At that time, massacring the aboriginals was regarded as an honorable thing. These "glorious deeds" almost ran through the important stages of the growth of these big family members, and they would naturally reveal that kind of Arrogance and contempt for natives.

Not only the aborigines in the Federation, but all the people they consider uncivilized are aborigines. These people in Nagalil obviously conform to the characteristics of all aborigines.

Mr. Geruno's voice did not pause because of Lynch's thoughts flashing like lightning, "Now there are two opinions within the board of directors, one is a relatively relaxed way, and the other is...", he Glancing at those people who also have profound family backgrounds, "...a little stricter, let those natives know what the rules are."

"The joint development company does not belong to a certain person, including the members of our presidium, nor is it the owner of the company. This company belongs to everyone present, so we need to unify our opinions."

"I must tell everyone here in advance that once we have unified our opinions at the board meeting, then no one will be allowed to act against our collective will. We are a whole, and any divisive behavior should be strongly condemned! "

The atmosphere seemed to suddenly become heavy. On the surface, Mr. Geruno was saying something that seemed fair. In fact, everyone knew that only those who could really express their opinions were accepted by the people. people.

In other words, the opinions of ordinary people are not important, and there is no need for them to advocate any opinions. They only need to abide by the opinions of the bureau!

It feels a bit hurtful, but there is nothing to do, after all, the small arms and legs are not as good as those people's thick arms and thighs, and everyone can only cater to them.

Speaking of which, Mr. Geruno looked at Mr. Patu, "Mr. Patu, I heard that you have some opinions on this issue?"
