Blackstone Code

Mr. Geruno thought about many possibilities.

For example, Lynch is willing to form an alliance with him, but he must put forward some harsh conditions.

Or maybe Lynch pretends to disagree while he gradually raises the stakes, eventually swaying him.

In Mr. Geruno's opinion, the materials in his hand are enough for Lynch to understand the current situation!

All uncertainties are actually for the purpose of further seeking benefits.

But at this moment, Lynch's answer overturned all his imagination and guesses. When he rejected him in a very casual tone, as casually as "the weather is nice today", Mr. Geruno knew that Lynch's The position will not change.

He knew that he could feel Lynch's firm attitude, and this was also strange. Lynch didn't appear to be such a person.

He is always pursuing profits, at least that's what Mr. Geruno thinks. He has paid attention to Lynch's fortune history and knows how Lynch made his first money.

Only a businessman who tramples the law for wealth can be called a capitalist, and those who abide by the law and dare not cross the line are at best stupid businessmen. .

How could such a capitalist refuse such considerable benefits and choose the most meaningless decision?

To be honest, he didn't quite understand.

"You think this can't destroy him?" Mr. Geruno felt that maybe this was the answer.

Lynch believed that these photos would not shake the president's power foundation, which is why he seemed so thoughtless to give an answer that was not in line with the current situation.

Lynch looked at the photos again, "No, you can destroy him."

It was still that damn tone, just like saying "Good evening" again. This kind of sentence without any ups and downs made Mr. Geruno a little nauseous.

Although the Duncan family is currently at a disadvantage, they are actually not at the point where they can't do anything.

They can still launch a terrible public opinion offensive, and then create various opportunities to coerce the people to express their demands in the form of "public opinion."

The people are stupid... This sentence is often said, because the people are really stupid. They always believe what they see and hear, and ignore what they can see and hear. Some people need them to see these things. , hear these.

If you want to say that the people at the bottom have no ability to think, this is obviously a ridiculous and irresponsible view. At least in terms of "persecution delusions" and "conspiracy theories", the people at the bottom have a very reliable ability to think.

They can associate a dog owned by the president's wife with the murder of Emperor Gaevra, and they can also use a complete set of imaginary evidence to support all their guesses.

But none of this can change this. The people at the bottom are stupid.

As long as Mr. Trueman wants to release these photos, then the Federation will definitely set off a tsunami because of these photos!

They are no longer going to sit at the negotiating table and play offense and defense according to the rules, because they realize that they can never win under the rules of the federal government.

They have to break out of this rule and then have a chance to find some areas where they can work hard from outside the plate.

As long as they can spare their efforts, the President will inevitably encounter the biggest crisis since he entered politics.

Lynch acknowledged this, and it was this that confused Mr. Trueman.

He looked at Lynch, his eyes filled with confusion, "I don't quite understand. You are the president's core supporter..."

Lynch pursed his lips, "As a federal citizen, I just did what I should do, vote for him, and get more people to vote for him."

"But that doesn't necessarily mean that if I voted for him or donated money to him, I have to support everything he does unconditionally."

"Mr. Geruno, you are a smart man. You should know what everyone said about him before the last election..."

Mr. Geruno was in a trance. He was recalling the past not long ago. What did they say four years ago?

Ah, by the way, they said that Mr. President is not suitable for this position. The Progressive Party already has a new candidate who is more suitable than him, and they intend to let the other party win the position of president.

But Mr. President changed the final result, everyone became a companion, and he won the final victory.

In this process, people judged him as "too conservative". Many of his speeches before taking the stage and many of his policy agenda after taking the stage were actually not satisfactory to people.

It's a core conflict between old and new, and people need something more radical to negate everything that came before, so he doesn't do a very good job, at least in that regard.

He is a conservative among radicals, and often when he needs to take a big step forward, his always lukewarm development breaks the hearts of many people, including Mr. Trueman.

He is not like the kind of "leader" federal president who always stands on the big waves to point the way for the people.

He is a kind of federal president with the "United Will of the People" type. Only after the people's public opinion boils over, he will make choices in compliance with public opinion.

It was only in recent years that the situation gradually improved, but...

Mr. Geruno's expression was very subtle. He never expected that Lynch, who was the core supporter of Mr. President, would... show less support for him.

But when I thought about it again, I felt that all this was... so normal, because he was a capitalist.

A qualified capitalist will never do something because "I like it". They have only one purpose for doing things, and that is the essence of being a capitalist and capital - "I need to do this for my benefit!"

Mr. Geruno curled his lips and tilted his head, "Well, it seems that when I came to you with it, I obviously overestimated its value."

He put the photo away and then became curious, "Since he is not that important to you, why can't we cooperate?"

Lynch's answer was still so simple and direct, "Because you will lose too."

"Mr. Geruno, you are an excellent businessman, and can even be said to be an excellent politician, but you have not achieved the ultimate in one aspect."

"In terms of business, the Duncan family's rigid and dangerous business model has not changed for many years, and you have not even focused on changing it."

"You may tell me that you have tried many times to transform and upgrade the industry..." When Lynch said this, Mr. Geruno was just about to open his mouth to refute him.

He just opened his mouth slightly, looked at Lin Qi in astonishment, and then closed his mouth.

"Real businessmen or capitalists will never give up on the challenges of the times because of a few failures. Mr. Geruno, we should meet the challenges of the times and defeat them." .”

"No matter how many times I count, I won't back down!"

Listening to Lynch's words, Mr. Geruno felt something in his heart... He didn't know what it was, it might be regret.

The biggest problem currently facing the Duncan family is that they have not done a good job in industrial transformation and upgrading. If they had done this a few years ago, they would not be in such a mess now.

In the final analysis, they have been left behind by the entire new era business model.

They occupy relatively abundant resources in various industries, but they do not have the corresponding capabilities. Facing challenges from the capital society again and again, they lack the capabilities and are unwilling to give up. In the end, they can only use off-market tactics.

Mr. Geruno's brows twitched slightly. He wanted to refute Lynch, but the facts did not allow him to do so!

But Lynch hasn’t finished speaking yet!

"Further, you are an excellent politician, Mr. Geruno."

"I heard that federal congressmen were once proud of saying, 'Mr. Geruno and I are friends.' Everyone thought you were a big shot, and everyone was proud to know you."

“Even some unsuitable proposals can successfully pass the most difficult voting process in Congress under your operation. At least in this regard, you are more influential than the President and the chairmen of committees from both parties... "

The corners of Mr. Geruno's mouth raised slightly, "This is everyone's love for me..."

Lynch raised his hand to stop him, "But you're not really a politician, Mr. Geruno!"

His expression was a little funny, a little regretful, and a little... Anyway, it was full of a lot of things. The smile was a little dazzling, making Mr. Geruno feel a little uncomfortable, as if he was laughing at him.

"Mr. Geruno, you are not a politician, you are not a congressman, you are not a governor, you are not Mr. President, but you have influence comparable to them."

"At the same time, you're also a... not-so-successful capitalist, you know?"

"Perhaps what you think is your advantage is exactly where you fail the most."

"The most unprofessional capitalists and the most unqualified politicians have come together. Under your distorted influence, the Duncan family has completely lost the motivation to develop and move forward."

"The more you struggle and the more eager you are to save this family, the more you get will be more than you can bear."

"Sometimes you work very hard, but the results are not so positive!"

"Mr. President is not a winner, and you are not a winner either..."

Lynch smiled as he spoke, stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and shook hands with Mr. Geruno, who had somewhat lost the ability to manage facial expressions. "I'm glad you can listen to what I have to say. At least in my opinion, except for you. Apart from the failures in these two aspects, you are still very successful in other aspects. At least you are very cultured and a gentleman!"

"If there are no accidents... we probably won't meet again. So is there anything else we need to know about each other?"

"If not...then it's getting late, I should go back!"
