Blackstone Code

The truce will soon be over.

Spring sowing actually doesn’t take up much of everyone’s time.

There are only two types of people who invest in farms in the federation. One is the real farmers. They may have been operating the land under their feet for generations, large chunks of land!

Federal law stipulates that any land reclaimed by anyone belongs to the reclaimer himself, and there is no need to pay any additional fees.

But if this land cannot be cultivated in time, it will become ownerless agricultural land again.

Yes, its ownership changes.

If the farmer still wants to cultivate the land, he will have to pay for it.

Because it is no longer a wasteland!

There are countless wastelands in the Federation. For farmers who really want to find wealth in agriculture, mechanized agricultural production is the most cost-effective method!

This is no longer... In the beginning, they could let some natives work for them under their guns for free.

Labor costs in the Federation are now sky-high. Rather than hiring a large group of workers, buying some cheap machinery is obviously more suitable for large-scale farming.

The other type is engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry, which is a large-scale economy.

For example, the seven major banks, such as the federal hedge funds, actually like to invest in agriculture.

In addition, due to the rapid increase in the federal population in recent years, there has been a shortage of food. The prospects of agriculture are promising, and the prices of agricultural products are also slowly increasing.

Perhaps most people only think that the price of agricultural products has changed from one yuan to one yuan ten or one yuan fifteen cents.

It doesn't seem like... it becomes much.

At least housewives may spend one or two yuan more every time they buy groceries than in the past?

But please note that this is an industry with an equally large output. The output is often calculated in tons. Any increase is enough to make its income substantial and astonishing.

Not to mention the increase of more than 5%, which is already more stable and more profitable than investment finance!

When these institutions invest in agriculture and animal husbandry, they are better at controlling costs and prefer to use agricultural machinery.

Therefore, in the Federation, except for those farmers who do not have much land and cannot be regarded as real farmers, the spring sowing of other farmland is completed very early.

The flames of war will also be rekindled!

Before that, it is obviously important to finish everything that needs to be done.

There were still two or three days before the signing of the contract. In the hotel, after being inspected by the accompanying staff to ensure that there were no eavesdropping devices, the eldest prince sat on the sofa.

His face lost the frivolity it had shown during this period.

He traveled around many places in the Federation and tried to bring some "information" back, but all failed.

He deliberately wore new leather boots with floppy soles to some steel mills and walked around the workshops on purpose, if not for a federal agent who asked to shine his shoes when he left.

He may have brought back many metal samples.

The federal people took good precautions against him, so that he failed to get what he wanted many times. The more frivolous he appeared, the more serious the attitudes of those people became.

So much so that he had no chance of turning himself into a frivolous bastard.

There are only a few days left before returning home, and the eldest prince is too lazy to continue pretending.

"We don't have much time. If you can't complete the mission within five days, the mission will fail forever."

"We will never get a second chance to come here and stay for so long!"

The eldest prince looked at some people standing in the living room. In addition to negotiating, they had a mission in the federation this time.

That is to find a way to get their research materials from the Flight Research Institute. If they can't get it, they will find a way to tie up one or two experts.

They had prepared a lot of plans for this. During this time, the eldest prince had been traveling around and buying a lot of things.

These things were to be packed and sent back to the Pengeo Empire with him. They planned to put the intelligence and even the researchers directly into the container.

These items are the personal belongings of the eldest prince and enjoy diplomatic immunity and are not subject to inspection.

After all, there are many private things involved. According to the rules of international diplomacy, diplomats have the right to refuse inspection of these items.

It wasn't long before they left the Federation. As a result, they still didn't get the aircraft information that the empire needed most, which made the eldest prince somewhat dissatisfied.

The officer in charge lowered his head, first admitted his mistake, and then began to describe why their operation had not been successful.

"...We discovered that Blackstone Aviation and Flight Research Institute is not a company. The Flight Research Institute is responsible for research and improvement of aircraft, and Blackstone Aviation is responsible for assembly."

"The five kilometers around the Flight Research Institute are considered military restricted areas. There are dedicated people patrolling around the clock and many hounds."

"There's no way we can get down into it and find what we need without alerting anyone."

"As for those experts and scientists, they also live in the base, and these people rarely leave the laboratory. It is difficult for us to catch and take them away when they are unprepared."

"As for Blackstone Aviation... all aircraft parts are licensed to dozens of companies, and these companies provide Blackstone Aviation with a certain component."

"Their only job was to put these parts and components together and we tried to infiltrate them but couldn't find anything of value..."

The most special thing about the assembly line is this. Pre-job training can let almost all workers on the assembly line know what they have to do, but they will not know what others have to do, and they are not willing to understand.

It is enough for them to do their own processes well.

This also resulted in the spies not being able to find a complete set of design drawings. Many of them were assembly schematics, only the components or assembly methods of the components, but not more complete ones.

These things will eventually be put together into a plane, but trying to get the blueprints or anything from here... is difficult.

It was impossible for them to steal a few planes and go back, so this matter could not be realized.

Listening to the reports from his men, the eldest prince also seemed a little dissatisfied. Before coming, he thought this might be difficult, but in the end he was able to overcome the difficulties and complete it.

What I didn't expect was that it was indeed difficult, and I couldn't overcome these difficulties.

"Didn't they make any omissions?" The eldest prince's voice was clearly dissatisfied.

At this time, the officer in charge of this task also looked embarrassed. Just when he was about to admit that they were bound to fail, something suddenly occurred to him.

"Your Highness, although we can't get the design drawings and research and development information, and we have no way to contact those scientists, there is still someone who knows a lot about aircraft, and we may have contact with him."

His Highness the Eldest Prince's expression improved slightly, "You should have spoken out earlier and don't play such a trick next time. It doesn't show how smart or important you are at all. It will only make me want to punish you!"

The officer lowered his head and said yes repeatedly.

"Now, speak your mind!"

The officer sorted out his thoughts and confirmed that his plan was possible, and then said softly, "Lynch is called the father of the Air Force. From the materials we collected, he also played a key role in the development of the aircraft. , and participate in the research and development process.”

"Not only may he have the latest technology in aircraft, he is also the boss of Blackstone Aviation. If we catch him, maybe we will have a way to get what we want!"

This information can be found out everywhere. The eldest prince did not doubt its authenticity. He also believed that his subordinates would not dare to deceive him.

He thought about it for a while and felt that it was indeed possible. He immediately made a decision, "I think your idea is very good. We don't have much time. Let's implement it immediately..."

"I don't want to know how you did it. I just want to make sure that when I leave here, there are things we need in the containers on the ship!"

After waving away his men, the eldest prince walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall of the hotel with a wine glass in hand.

Under the setting sun, the most beautiful side of Bupen was displayed in front of him. As he looked at this rich country, his eyes were gradually occupied by greed...

During this period of time, Lynch was just working normally, and there was no truce. In fact, it didn't change much for him.

His main focus now is on the operation of Blackstone Bank. Since the bank received a large order just after its establishment, Lynch is considering whether to list Blackstone Bank first to make some money!

Many small business owners are afraid of going public. They feel that after the company goes public, it will no longer be their industry.

This perception cannot be considered wrong.

This is indeed the case for companies that do not have sufficient means and whose industries lack monopoly or technology.

Just like those entrepreneurial companies in the incubation park, the investment of Tomorrow's Light is actually not much, but for them it is a lot of money and they get a lot of shares.

They want to kick the founder out of the company without even having to hold a shareholder meeting!

So for most small business founders, going public is fraught with risk.

But for those "financial tycoons" who are proficient in various financial methods and can manipulate many people to applause without spending a penny, going public is another feeling.

Putting other people's money into their own pockets, throwing away the mess and rising from the ashes, this is how they play.

They are not afraid of the company going public, but they are afraid that the company will not be able to go public!

Vera also gradually began to adapt to the position of president of Blackstone Bank's head office. Of course, the chairman of the board of directors is still Lynch.

As soon as the bank was established, the first people who came to borrow money were not the companies in need of capital circulation or entrepreneurs with dreams, but... peers!

A large number of private banks have sent loan requests to Blackstone Bank, ranging from hundreds of thousands to tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

For these small private banks, they are actually short of money, very short!
