Blackstone Code

Lynch doesn't like gambling.

Part of it is the fear of losing money, and part of the reason is that he knows that cheating is possible in most gambling games, and it can be done to an extent that others cannot detect!

When he was expanding his network, he met a master of Qian Shu.

It is said to be anti-gambling, but in fact it is to teach people how to change cards for a fee.

The things he teaches are all of the lowest level, and he never teaches others his real skills.

But he likes to show off and show off.

The time he remembered most clearly was when he shuffled and cut the cards himself, and then the guy shuffled and cut them again.

Then the cards were piled in his hand, and the card he was dealt became his second highest card and the opponent's first highest card.

Amazing!

This is also the reason why Lynch is not addicted to gambling. The water here is too deep, and even if he has enough brains, he may not be able to guarantee that he will win.

Even he didn't think he could win in poker. How could an ordinary woman who seemed to be extremely stupid be sure that she could win?

Lynch was a little curious, "Didn't you participate?"

Sierra shook her head, "They invited me, but I refused."

"You know, many people think that I am rich, but in fact you should know better."

"Their winnings and losses in a single poker game are hundreds of thousands. With all this money, what can I do?"

Serra currently has shares in two factories, as well as a stake in a charitable foundation, in addition to still running Youermei.

The overall net worth is about 20 million.

This is still the profit brought by Youermei during its rapid development. Now Youermei's business is shrinking.

A large number of new fitness and bodybuilding brands have begun to emerge, and it is indeed difficult for Youmei, which has had negative reports, to fight its way out.

Now, as long as a directly operated store experiences losses for three months, it will cease operations immediately.

Since the factory is basically all female workers, it has received support from the government and receives a dividend of more than 200,000 yuan every quarter.

The charitable foundation can ensure a balanced income and expenditure. It distributes dividends of three and a half million yuan a year, and then donates them again.

The liquidity in her hand may only be three to four million.

She is very self-aware when it comes to participating in card games that cost hundreds of thousands a game. Once she loses three or four times, she has to start thinking about selling the property.

"The main ones involved in these card games are some famous ladies, as well as the women brought by Gevra."

"They don't care about winning or losing, they just see it as entertainment."

"But on our side, some people are really trying their best!"

Sierra was a little emotional, but Lynch thought this was normal.

Nobles often continue to harvest wealth for hundreds of years. Over several generations or dozens of generations, the wealth is accumulated, say tens of millions at least, and hundreds of millions at most.

And many of them are immeasurable properties, such as castles, manors, forest farms, and hunting grounds.

These things are priceless on Gefraben Island, because the land area there is small, and the large areas of high-quality land in the hands of the nobles can no longer be purchased with money.

Therefore, this part is still not included in wealth.

For these ladies who organize card games, they can just sell something after losing hundreds of thousands. Some of them don't even need to sell anything.

And they may not lose!

For these ladies, winning or losing tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or hundreds of thousands is like their life. For those who are not qualified, this is fatal.

"Joanna really wants to fit into this circle. She actively participates in card games or organizes card games, and she doesn't win often."

Sierra shook her head, "I really don't know how long she can last like this!"

Lynch kept this in mind, "Next time she organizes a card game, tell me the news."

Sierra nodded in agreement without delving into it.

In fact, Sera's status in the circle of federal ladies is very special, not because of her wealth or her reputation.

Simply because she has a son named Lynch!

No one dares to look down upon her, who knows if offending her will lead to Lynch's revenge.

If you offend the president, you may be warned.

But if you offend the capitalists, especially the big capitalists, they will even deprive you of the right to survive!

If it weren't for Lynch, Sierra might not be able to gain a firm foothold in the circle of ladies. People wouldn't take her with them, let alone respect her.

Everything in the Federation has a price, including people.

When a person does not have the value that others respect, everyone will become very realistic.

Sierra left after dinner. She drove her own car. She was in a good living condition and in good spirits, so Lynch was not so worried.

United Development Corporation held several conference calls over the next few days and finalized some matters surrounding Lynch's proposal to negotiate the closing privileges with the federal government.

During this period, Queen Feline and Xenia came back, stayed for a few days, and then went to the west.

She may also realize that this may be her last "freedom."

Once she returns to the island, she will be "imprisoned" in the palace like a prisoner.

At the beginning of July, the fighting on Pengeo's main battlefield finally came to a complete halt.

The long-lost tranquility made the soldiers on the battlefield particularly cherish it. At the same time, Emperor Pengeo sent the Minister of Foreign Affairs to initiate armistice negotiations with the Federation for the second time.

This time, the location is in the Federation!

Mr. Trueman believed that holding the negotiations in federal rather than neutral territory would, on the one hand, put pressure on Pengio.

Compared to the Pengeo Empire, which is already in turmoil and full of rebellions, letting them see the peace and prosperity of the Federation can deepen the impression that the "Federation is invincible".

Secondly, as an inviter, placing the location in the Federation is essentially a display of strength.

After one protest to no avail, Pengeo agreed.

They really couldn't hold on any longer. Not only were the federal people getting closer and closer to the imperial capital, but more importantly, the survivors and rebels had discovered the weakness of the royal rule, and their actions had become sharper.

Think about it, if the myth of invincibility is broken, the internal group that has been forcibly united by profit from foreign wars will instantly collapse.

Now many areas have fallen into the hands of the rebels. If we don't launch a counterattack, Pengeo's internal problems will become even more troublesome.

After the news came out, the Federation was also filled with joy!

The war was finally over, just like the clouds were finally blown away, revealing the sunshine.

Bathed in the sunshine, people feel a kind of "new life"!

This also caused federal stocks to skyrocket across the board, and the federal industrial index once again set a record for single-day gains.

When everything was about to settle, Lynch suddenly made a phone call to Mr. Trueman.

The call came as a surprise to Mr. Trueman because they had met only a short time before.

But soon, Lynch's call gave him great inspiration, and Lynch was even invited to the President's Office again to chat face to face with Mr. Trueman.

"I canceled a report meeting, but even then our time was limited."

After Mr. Trueman asked his secretary to bring takeaway coffee, he explained to Lynch.

Then he sat across from him, holding a cup of coffee, and said seriously, "What you said on the phone was not very detailed. Now you can talk about it in detail."

Lin Qi did not hide it, but directly spoke his thoughts carefully.

"Although Pengeo has admitted defeat, its production capacity and scientific research capabilities, including its military strength, have not been destroyed."

"This is not good news for us because they could start the next war at any time."

"I have been thinking about how to solve this problem before, but I never had any good ideas."

"The news these days has given me some inspiration!"

Mr. Trueman took out his notebook and pen. He had a cigarette in his mouth and squinted his eyes slightly.

The smoke of raw cigarettes is very harsh on the eyes, because the amount of tar is larger, so the discomfort will be more intense.

When he looked at Lynch, he raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows, "Tell me about it."

"My idea is that we also invite the survivors and the new Pengeo people's government to come and participate in the negotiations."

After Mr. Trueman recorded the key information, he frowned and asked, "Are you sure this makes sense?"

Lin Qi nodded with a half-smile, "Of course!"

"They were also the victims of Pengeo's ambition to rule the world. Now that the evil Pengeo regime has been defeated by us, these victims should also get their things back."

“We should cede part of the Pengeo land to these survivors and the Pengeo People’s Government through multi-party negotiations, so that they can obtain all rights to these lands.”

"In this way, the Pengeo government will always be in a state of civil strife and division. If we give these forces some more support..."

Needless to say, Lynch and Mr. Trueman knew what the result would be!

Armed with the federal advanced weapons, these forces that have an undying hatred for the Pengeo royal family will definitely fight the Pengeo government to the end!

Civil strife, division, opposition at the bottom...

It is conceivable that once it is really done, there is no possibility of Pengjiao turning around for at least thirty years.

As for the ability to wage war, maybe it will be fifty years later!

"As for whether the Pengjiao government agrees or not..."

Lynch chuckled a few times, "That's not important. What's important is to write these things into the negotiated agreement."

"We have reached agreement on some aspects, such as an armistice and compensation."

"As for those things that have not been reached and there are still differences, let's talk slowly!"

"As long as they have the ability and our support is sent over, they can turn it into a fait accompli first."

"Then we will negotiate step by step to reach the final conclusion..."

"Whether we do this or not, their war will continue!"

Mr. Trueman was lost in thought. This seemed like a unnecessary step, but it gave enough support to all the survivors and rebels.

Whether in name or in substance, it is of great benefit to continue to restrict Pengyeo's recovery of national strength!
