Chapter 641 Unscrupulous
"Mr. Lynch, we have been waiting for you for a long time, please come in." Although the president of the chamber of commerce did not look very good, he still made an invitation.

Lynch looked around unhurriedly, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, picked up one and put it in his mouth.

With a sound of "chuck", the assistant beside him struck a match, covered it with one hand, and leaned in front of Lynch.

Under the soft light, Lynch's face was covered with a layer of red light under the light of the matches. This light came on quickly and overwhelmed the light of the light bulb in an instant.

He took two puffs casually and exhaled a puff of smoke, "I'm not from Gefra..."

The president turned his head to look at the sign, and then flew into a rage, "Who put this thing here, why don't you take it away?"

As he said that, he went straight down the steps and stood in front of Lynch, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lynch, there seems to be some mistakes in our work, and I apologize for that."

"But please believe that this is definitely not our deliberate behavior..."

The president has all walked down the steps, and the others are not suitable for standing on the steps, even though the steps are not very high.

From looking down, to being overlooked by others in normal times, the emotional changes of these businessmen are particularly interesting.

"I also believe that this must be a misunderstanding!" Lynch reached out and shook hands with the president of the chamber of commerce. After the two exchanged a few words with each other, under the leadership of the president of the chamber of commerce, Lynch finally stepped onto the steps.

In people's unspeakable eyes, he entered the house.

These businessmen looked at each other at this time, and followed up blankly. The meeting tonight was held to welcome Lynch.

Compared with businessmen in other federations, Lynch has a natural special attribute - he is the Baron of Gafla, an imperial nobleman.

But this is just the emperor's mouth seal, there is no real seal yet, and various ceremonies have not yet been held.

In Gafla, the canonization of nobility is often carried out in autumn, which symbolizes the harvest season. The harvest can be food, titles, and more unspecific things.

In addition, in ancient times, the territory must be allocated after canonization. If the canonization time is set in spring, it is very likely that spring sowing will be missed.

If it is placed in summer, the original owner of that piece of land will be dissatisfied. Everyone knows that after summer, autumn will come. At this time, it will be a waste of half a year to allocate this piece of land to others.

The canonization is different after the autumn harvest. Not only does it have various symbolic and beautiful meanings, but also the wheat on the land is almost finished harvesting. There is nothing to argue about arranging a new lord to take office at this time.

At the same time, the new lord can also organize a new sowing plan as soon as possible. You must know that during the lord's benefaction period, the seeds sown also came from the lord.

Therefore, based on various reasons, canonization is generally held after the autumn harvest, and the power and boundaries are determined before winter comes.

History has developed step by step to today. There is no real "manee" in the Gefra Empire, and the nobles have no territory of their own, but many customs have been preserved.

It is still summer, and Lynch can only be called a "quasi-baron". As long as he is not sealed for a day, he cannot be regarded as a nobleman of the empire at all.

And this is why the merchants dared to embarrass him. In addition, behind these merchants were nobles, large and small. Their relationships in the empire were intricate, and they could not be easily defeated by a "federal noble".

Secondly, everyone is more or less aware that Lynch's nobleman is not so easy to be.

It is a very strange thing for a foreigner to be canonized as a nobleman. It is inevitable that people will think more about it. Moreover, this was requested by the emperor himself later. It was not a product of some kind of diplomacy. People have more imagination Space.

This house is not particularly luxurious, because it is a local building, and it was not built after the Gefra people came. They tried to select some suitable houses for use, and others that were not suitable were given to the garrison to live in.

Although the house itself is not luxurious, they have since refurbished it and it looks much better.

Led by the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Lynch walked through a corridor and came to a hall.

The moment Lynch stepped into the hall with his right foot, the conductor who had already prepared suddenly raised his baton, and a slightly cheerful movement began to sound in an instant.

As the music sounded, the whole hall seemed to "live" completely.

The envoys kept putting plates of food on the table, and some ladies in exquisite evening gowns entered the venue with the accompaniment of music. This was a very novel experience.

Obviously this is an ordinary reception, but it can make people feel that it is different from the federal reception at this moment.

Everything here is too regular and orderly, from the performance of the band to the entrance of the attendants to the entrance of the female guests, they have a whole set of procedures that belong to their own rules, not as casual as the federation's reception.

And this is precisely where the cultural differences between the two countries are the greatest. One has a strict hierarchy, while the other is free.

"Let me introduce to you..." The president of the Chamber of Commerce stood in the crowd and introduced Lynch to those gentlemen and ladies who did not go out, "The one standing next to me is the new nobleman of the Empire, from the Federation. Your Excellency the Baron, Mr. Lynch..."

What the fuck and what? !

Lynch couldn't believe that such a big man couldn't even speak. It was obvious that he did it deliberately. He didn't fight back immediately, but greeted everyone politely with eyes and nods.

"Mr. Lynch, tell us something!" The president of the Chamber of Commerce looked at him with a smile, which was obviously a good way to embarrass Lynch.

They didn't believe that Lynch was as familiar with Amelia as he was with Nagalil, and that he didn't even have friends here.

On this occasion, surrounded by Gefra people, what would a person say when he was the only federal person?
Generally, he will say something that caters to the scene and most people. As long as Lynch says it, he will lose.

Looking at the sparkle in the eyes of the president of the chamber of commerce, Lynch already understood what the other party meant. This was not a conspiracy, but an overt conspiracy.

Even if you know that these things are problematic, you cannot avoid them and cannot refuse them.

Lynch looked at these people and asked with a half-smile, "What should I say?"

Before the chairman of the chamber of commerce could answer him, he said on his own, "I'm not sure what I should say, I'm not a hypocrite, and I won't change my original intention and position to cater for some purpose. other people."

"I know you don't like me, not just me, you also don't like the Federals and the Federation, because we just did an 'unforgivable' thing."

"And now, I'm going to come here again to do the same thing that you think is 'unforgivable' but there is no way to deal with it!"

Shi Potian was startled, and he tore off the mask of hypocrisy without hesitation, looking at those stunned, surprised, unhappy, sullen, and demented faces, Lynch would not feel any regret for what he said just now, he The corners of the mouth are still slightly raised.

Even if he said something nice and catered to these people, would these people accept him?
No, absolutely not, they will only reject him more unitedly, since belittling their own achievements and others can't satisfy others to change their positions, then why should they wrong themselves?

Regardless of whether he said something nice or bad, these people will target him, so don't hide it.

He used the word "unforgivable" in this passage. This word came from the mouth of Emperor Gafla. When he knew that his fleet was almost completely destroyed, this is what he sent in the palace of the ruler. Roar, unforgivable!

Lynch didn't hesitate to use this word to tell these people the reason why he was able to appear here, and he also used this word to tell the people here what he was going to do.

He wants to snatch profits from these people's pockets. For these businessmen, this is indeed an "unforgivable" thing!

There is no ostentatious pandering, only direct fire.

Even the music in the hall was not so easily noticeable because of Lynch's words.

He stood in the center of the crowd, except for himself, everyone he saw was an "enemy", but he was so confident and calm, he looked at other people with a smile, and few people could look at him for a long time , Mostly just for a moment or half a second, he moved away the aggressive eyes.

"Mr. Lynch..." The president of the Chamber of Commerce was a little at a loss. He thought that Lynch would say something to cater to everyone, such as hoping that everyone would get rich together.

After all, he didn't know much about this place, so it was reasonable to say some words that blurred the boundaries, and then these words would spread, and under the control and adaptation of those who cared, it became Lynch's performance to cater to the local chamber of commerce and the empire.

The federal people kneel and lick the empire, isn't this exactly what the domestic gentlemen want to see?
But he never thought that Lynch would directly shoot at everyone here, even at the Gefra Empire.

This……

Did the bastard drink too much?
But can't you tell from his fair and handsome face? !
The president of the chamber of commerce didn't know what he had to say, but at this time, it was best to interrupt him, "I..."

Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Lynch. Lynch put his hand on his arm, preventing him from continuing, "I know what you're going to say, I know very well."

"The purpose of my coming here is not to meet with everyone, drink some wine, say something appropriate to each other, and then pat my ass and leave."

"Gentlemen and ladies, I'm here to do business, and I'm here to grab the market with you. Whether it's nationality or position, we don't stand on the same side, so we are both friends and enemies."

"I hope we can respect each other, show our style, meet on our own 'battlefield', and as opposing sides, try our best to fight tenaciously."

"Win or lose!"

He squinted at the president of the Chamber of Commerce, "It's not about playing some meaningless tricks to make each other look down!"
