Chapter 660 People Posting on the Operating Table
Wealth moves people.

How many joys and sorrows have been caused by the problem of wealth since ancient times, and how many justice and crimes are hidden in it?
For the sake of money, trampling the bottom line of law and morality will not let them think for a second whether it is appropriate to do so. They only care about how much money they can make!
Lynch was very clear about what Mr. Wardrick said, and he even understood some of the meaning behind Mr. Wardrick's words, for example...kill the person who dared to stop everyone from getting rich.

This kind of thing is not uncommon, whether in the past, present, or future.

In terms of power, Lynch is not as good as those assassinated presidents, he has no power at all.

In terms of wealth and status, he is not as important as the important members of the board of directors of those large consortiums.

He can't compare to those people who often appear on the headlines, and those capitalists dare to do black hands.

If it wasn't for the fact that Lynch had his own armed forces around him, and his Black Stone was safe, maybe those people wouldn't even bother to give him a warning!

After Mr. Wardrick said this, he looked at Lynch, wanting to see what kind of expression he had.

frustrated?

Disappointed?

Hate yourself for being incompetent?
Nothing, he was still as calm and calm as ever, and the real fluctuations in his heart could never be seen from his face, which made Mr. Wardrick more interested.

Many people find it difficult to control their pessimistic emotions when they hear bad news. Their eyes, expressions, and body movements may betray their hearts.

What is Lynch's heart at this moment?
Already crashed?
Still holding on?

He was curious and wanted to know.

About ten seconds later, Lynch lowered his head and took a sip of coffee. When he swallowed the bitter but sweet liquid, he looked up at Wardrick, his Adam's apple slipped, "Mr. Wardrick, you know Well, I heard a saying..."

Mr. Wardrick nodded, indicating that he was listening, and also indicating that Lynch could continue.

"This sentence is not long, 'If a person is not entangled in desire, he will not shrink back no matter what he faces'."

Mr. Wardrick frowned slightly and carefully "chewed" this sentence back and forth for a while. After a while, he stretched his brows and nodded his head as if approving or admiring, "A wise phrase, you always It’s about being able to hear words of wisdom that no one else can hear.”

"Because I am also a wise person!", Lynch made a small joke, not so humble, and not annoying.

The laughter of the two gradually stopped, and Mr. Wardrick asked a question, "Although the words are very wise, the situation of this sentence is different from yours now."

"You have desires, you want to get the order from the governor of Ameria, you are tired of desires, you will shrink back."

It is naturally impossible for Lynch to deny a fact, "You are right, Mr. Wardrick, I don't know if you have realized that I did not say this to express that I am tired of desire, what I want to express is It's the people behind you who are also burdened by desire."

"They have too many desires, so they will constantly change their positions and ways to cater to their desires, which means that as long as there are enough restrictions, they will bow their heads."

"For those of us, what are we looking for?" Lynch asked.

Mr. Wardrick, who was sitting next to him, did not hesitate for too long, "Wealth, wealth is more influential than power in the Commonwealth."

Lynch nodded, "Then as long as I make them feel the pain, they will retreat, and I can go further, and you can too."

Mr. Wardrick put down the coffee cup he had been holding, "What do you mean?"

The smile on Lynch's face changed somewhat. He crossed his fingers and pressed them on his knees, "What if the people behind you contributed to the [-] million order you said, and there was a huge loss because of it? Sample?"

When Lynch said this, Mr. Wardrick instinctively thought that this was impossible. As a successful consortium, it must have a sound legal department. They are proficient in the laws of domestic and foreign mainstream countries.

The purchase contract signed by Sauron and the company is only short of the final signing process, even if it is completely completed, this will not change, and behind this is the joint efforts of many people.

At the same time, for the consortium, this is bound to be a profitable business. As long as the things are produced, they can be cashed out. How can there be huge losses under such circumstances?

So he instinctively denied this possibility, which is like someone telling you what to do if a star falls and hits someone, which makes people think it's just a joke.

But jokes can be told by anyone.

Some people don't carry enough weight, and others take it as a joke when they tell the truth.

Some people have enough weight, even if what they say is a joke, others will seriously think about whether there is something implied in these words.

He thought about it for a while, but he didn't find any possible problems. He could only shake his head, "What you said...I'm not sure."

"Just take it as a joke!" Lynch said with a smile, but he really said that, how could Mr. Wardrick just take what he said as a joke?
"We make bold assumptions on this joke. If what I said becomes true, will it help your status in the consortium?"

He continued in a discussion-like tone, "The board of directors revised the project you approved and rejected your point of view. If their decision caused the consortium to suffer huge losses, what would they do, and what would you do?"

This question hardly made Mr. Wardrick think about it, and he stated the result, "According to the rules, those who promote the plan will be deprived of part of their equity to compensate those who suffer losses. At the same time, they will also be kicked out of the board of directors and lose their voting rights. .”

For the members of these large consortia, once they lose their voting rights on the board of directors of the consortium, it will definitely be a fatal blow to them.

However, situations like this don't happen often. Unless the consortium is really seriously hurt, they will generally not be deprived of their seats on the board of directors, and the vote will not pass.

"As for me...it will prove that my decision is correct. Some neutrals in the board of directors will stand by me for a while, and I will also have the opportunity to expand the number of shares in my hand." Speaking of this, Wardry Mr. Ke's cheeks became a little hot.

In fact, he doesn't have too many desires, his family is happy and harmonious, he has a daughter who has certain abilities at least not to ruin his family property, and there is so much money, he is very indifferent to many things.

However, he still has a little motivation when it comes to the equity of the consortium. This thing is like buying insurance.

He can buy insurance for these shares and entrust it to a certain organization to manage it. As long as the consortium does not come, his descendants can always enjoy the dividends brought by this part of the shares.

If the consortium continues to exist for generations, his descendants will enjoy it for generations to come!
When people live in this world, there will always be some demands. Some people ask for life, some ask for after death, and some ask for everything.

In addition, if you have more equity, you can speak hard, which is very important.

It was at this moment that Mr. Wardrick realized that what Lynch was going to do must have something to do with what he said, and the consortium was likely to face heavy losses.

But not only did he not want to tell other people about these things, he wanted to see what method Lynch used to put a consortium that had stood until now in crisis!

"It seems that we have reached an agreement on some demands?"

Mr. Wardrick nodded, "At least from now on, we have no differences."

"What do I need to do?"

Lynch patted his legs and stood up, "Support me when necessary, and then support yourself, it's that simple."

After sending Lynch away, Mr. Wardrick returned to the study immediately. The change in his heart was actually stronger than what Lynch saw. This was an opportunity.

Of course, he didn't arrogantly think that he could control the entire consortium. This was impossible, but it was easy to increase his right to speak. He needed to prepare in advance.

Lynch didn't tell him how to realize this impossible plan, but he just believed that Lynch could do it.

If you want to ask why you feel this way, probably this is because every miracle Lynch has accomplished before is an endorsement for the miracle he will perform next time!

Lynch did not talk about the meeting with those behind the scenes. This is an irreconcilable contradiction. If there is no fight, no one will feel weak.

For three or four days in a row, it was as if nothing happened, and the whole Bu Paine and even the whole world were in peace.

On such a peaceful day, the "Macon Consortium" to which Mr. Wardrick belongs held a press conference and a signing ceremony at the same time.

This is actually not in line with the rules, but it doesn't matter, he just wants to firmly hold on to this credit so that he can gain more voice.

As for his identity, he randomly found a sales company that was related to the company that developed and produced the generator set, and assumed the title of president.

What really attracts people is the order and influence worth [-] million. The consortium told the society that this order can at least provide the society with no less than [-] mid-term jobs. For a while, people praised the Macon consortium and its subordinates All companies are capitalists with morality and conscience...

In the background, the staff was putting on make-up for the board member who had contributed to this matter. He looked through the mirror at Mr. Wardrick who was standing not far away, and said with a half-smile: "Actually, you don't need to come."

There is nothing wrong with this sentence, and it was not Mr. Wardrick who came to sign the contract in person. There is no need for him to be there. At the same time, this kind of purpose of talking out of nothing also faintly carries some special emotional color.

Being the president of the group means that many things can be decided by the president of the company without the consent of the board of directors. This will make people on the board of directors feel offended and not treated with the respect they deserve.

This became a good opportunity for him to take revenge and show off.

Mr Wardrick smiled, but said nothing.

He had one hand across his chest, the palm tucked under the armpit on the other side, and the other hand was slightly raised, pushing the wedding ring on his finger with his thumb.

Facing this faintly provocative nonsense, he didn't answer, but turned around and looked elsewhere.

This made the gentleman at the dresser laugh, thinking he had won.

But at this moment, two directors of the company's legal department came in. They stood beside Mr. Wardrick and said in a low voice, "We just checked the contract, and the contract has been revised..."

As he spoke, he pointed out several of them, and the most critical one-liquidated damages.

"Because the amount involved in this contract is very huge, when we drew up the contract, we considered the rights and interests of each other and reduced the liquidated damages to 18.00% of the total order amount, which is just over [-] million."

"But now it has been changed back, 150% liquidated damages, if we... have to pay at least [-] million liquidated damages, it's too much!"

The head of the legal department looked around, "This contract cannot be signed, the risk is too great, of course my assessment is limited to its possible problems, if you or other directors think we will not breach the contract, then it has no risk. "

At this time, Mr. Wardrick probably already knew where Lynch's confidence came from, liquidated damages!
He had used the same method not long ago to squeeze Herbs out of his last penny, so the old man had to find a place with a good view to jump off, and now it was their turn to be the victim.

He glanced at the sensible person in front of the dressing table, and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, the chairman, may come, and the time for signing the contract will be delayed a little bit."

Without waiting for anything sensible to say, he immediately turned around and went to the ready VIP lounge, and held a conference call.

In less than a minute, the phones in front of people in different places rang one after another. They picked up the phone accidentally or curiously, and then "gathered together".

"I'm Wardrick. I just read the contract draft between us and the provincial government of Ameria. I found that some of the terms have been modified. I request that this signing ceremony be terminated!"

In essence, he hoped to beat those arrogant directors through Lynch's hands, but he never thought about letting Lynch bring down the Macon Consortium.

Once there is an accident, they really have to pay [-] million yuan in compensation, and the consortium simply can't afford the money!
It’s not that they don’t have money, their assets are more than this number, but most of these assets are all kinds of real estate or value-added assets. These things are not money, and they cannot be turned into money in a short time. The nightmare of the consortium, even ringing the evening bell for the consortium's demise!
"What did you find, Mr. President?"

The speaker's voice was very soft, a bit like... not very easy to describe, just like an elderly pastor. When speaking, it would make people feel like they were bathed in sunlight.

But Wardrick knew that the owner of this voice was the real emperor of the consortium and the chairman of the consortium's board of directors.

"Our liquidated damages are too high. If something goes wrong, we simply cannot afford such compensation!"
