Blackstone Code

It was already past lunch time after the general meeting of shareholders. Lynch was just about to go out to get something to fill his stomach when Nell appeared in front of him with Tom.

Nell finally decided to give Tom a hand. After all, the relationship between the two people for thirty or forty years cannot be completely over because of this, otherwise the relationship and time will be too cheap.

As soon as he walked out of the office door, Lynch stepped back. Sitting behind the desk, he looked at the two men and tilted his head slightly, "So, what do you want?"

Tom was a little bewildered, and could see that some terrible change seemed to be going on in him at this moment.

He knew Lynch. He and Nell had been good friends for decades. They knew each other's families very well. From the time Lynch was born until he graduated from high school, Tom saw him once or twice a month, or two. Three times, when he went to Nell.

At first, he didn't think that the boss of Interstellar Trading Company was Nell's son. After all, there is not only one person named Lynch in this world. Just like his name Tom, he can find some people with the same name at random. And some cats and dogs.

Moreover, as a member of the bottom of the society, he has no channels and resources to get a better understanding of the composition of the superstructure of the society, just like most people don't know who are the top ten tax-paying companies in their city. Who are the bosses.

People don't care about these. Compared with these illusory things, they care more about how the TV series will be performed tonight, and more about work.

Until this moment, he didn't think that Nell's son could do such a big thing, but obviously the facts made his brain unable to think, and it was difficult for him to accept such a thing.

Nell was very calm, or he was so shocked that he was numb. Of course, his attitude towards Lynch has actually changed slightly. At least when he was at home in the past, he would not be so "calm" Talk to Lynch.

At that time, he was the head of the family, and his tone was always commanding, allowing no one to refuse.

"Tom is in some trouble. They stole the raw materials from the factory and produced a batch of goods. Most of them fell into your hands. We mean can you return the stuff to him and let him try it. Try to get rid of this matter." In order to persuade Lynch, Nell also said very pointedly, "Only his share, other people are not within our consideration."

Nell quickly explained his and Tom's intentions clearly, but Lynch shook his head after listening, "It's not easy, no, it's impossible!"

Looking at Tom who gradually came to his senses and Nell with a puzzled face, Lynch explained, "Even if you take those things back now, it is impossible to change the current situation, just listen to what you said, I already understood."

"No matter how much you sell things, it has nothing to do with your boss, and it doesn't matter whether these things can be sold in his hands, it has nothing to do with you."

"In other words, if you want to solve these problems, you must collect the money to solve this matter, otherwise..."

Lynch had already thought of the ending. If they couldn't come up with the money, the court would enforce it, and the bank would auction off their assets, including their cars, and their houses if they had any.

This also made Lynch suddenly feel that he and the bank could do a deal again. These are very high-quality resources, and more importantly, their prices will be very low.

As this kind of entrusted auction, the bank doesn't care how much these things are sold for. They just want to finish this kind of work as soon as possible and get a part of the service fee. As long as the bank is satisfied, these things can be used as waste products after packaging. price to buy.

Then at the next week's auction meeting, the income will be several times as soon as it changes hands.

Thinking of this, it is even more impossible for Lynch to help these people, and he is not familiar with this Uncle Tom.

There was indeed such a person in his memory, but it was limited to this, and there was no more interaction between them, except for the dignity of a man he had played a few times when he was a child.

No matter what the considerations were, he didn't intend to help Tom, he stood up, "I'm sorry, Uncle Tom, I can't do anything about this..." He paused, "Do you want to have lunch together, I know there is Good veal steak in a restaurant."

Nell still couldn't bear it, "Is there nothing you can do?"

Lynch shook his head, "If it's just a small matter of three to five thousand, three to fifty thousand, I can help you, but I can't give Uncle Tom more help for this kind of thing."

"He took out his own share, but the total amount is not enough. They still have to be tried and dealt with by law, so no one can help in this matter."

Talking to him hesitated for a while, and the hesitation for about a few seconds was immediately caught by Nell and Tom. They didn't dare to disturb Lynch's train of thought, but just looked at him expectantly from the side.

After about half a minute, Lynch's face became more serious, "Actually, it's not completely impossible, but we can say during the meal that I've been in meetings this morning..."

The two dared not refuse Lynch, and under the leadership of Lynch, they brought them to a reopened restaurant not far away.

During the wave of the general strike, the restaurant was actually the hardest hit area with serious damage, but the content of their damage was different from that of other shops. The restaurant was damaged because most of their ingredients were robbed, but And that's all.

These losses are actually not a big loss for restaurant operators, and they need to buy a new batch of ingredients to reopen the business.

The three of them sat down and looked around. They were the only table in the empty restaurant. In the expectant eyes of the two, Lynch said the only way.

"If you can win your boss's forgiveness and the judge's sympathy, then the problem becomes much easier." Lynch said casually while shaking off the napkin, "You have to explain the cause, process, and result of the incident, Who is the initiator, who is the organizer, who specifically committed the criminal acts, how you sold the stolen goods in the end, who presided over the distribution of the stolen money, and your confession, Uncle Tom."

"Our law does not have much tolerance for criminals, but we are willing to help those who repent. If you can do this, you may only be punished with community service in the end."

Lynch clicked emphatically, "As long as it is not a criminal punishment, there will be no stains on your personal files, nor will it hinder you from finding a job in the future."

Tom's expression was painful and struggling. He licked his dry lips, and his voice was dry, "Are you... asking me to betray them?"

"Telling?" Lynch raised his eyebrows, "Why do you think it's a kind of betrayal? In fact, you are helping them recognize the mistakes they made, and set an example to guide them to confess what they committed. offense."

"But I have to tell you that the judge only sympathizes with the first person to do it!"

After saying these words, he paused for a while, "From the things you said, it's not difficult for me to find that all the things originated from that guy named Shik. How is he now?"

Tom's face became even worse, "He's out on bail..."

Lynch showed a "sure enough" expression, "According to my thinking, I even think that this may be a scene that Schick and your boss acted together for the purpose of those fines."

"More than three million, enough for him to pay off some debts and get through this financial crisis!"

Lynch's words were like a sharp arrow piercing Tom's heart, because there is indeed such a possibility, or Lynch is too good at "persuading" others.

After a while, the dishes they ordered began to be served, and this topic ended here.

Tom is still considering Lynch's advice to him, while Lynch and Nell talk about Nell's work.

Some people ate this meal with gusto, and some people didn't even have the thought of moving a knife and fork when facing the food they usually yearn for the most, but just sat there blankly.

After the meal, Lynch returned to the company to continue to deal with some backlogs during this period, while Nell and Tom surrendered to the police station.

It was the decision Tom made at the end of lunch, between himself and someone else, and there was no shame in the choice, because ninety-nine per cent of people would make it.

However, this matter will not pass so easily. In the afternoon, because of Tom's surrender, the case has made a breakthrough. The specific list and some more critical information have been mastered by the police station.

Seeing that his former friend has now become a "prisoner", Nell is still very emotional.

That day, if he couldn't stick to his bottom line, maybe he was the one locked in the iron cage at this time!

After comforting Tom a few words, Nell left the police station. At the same time, he also knew and could feel that the relationship between him and Tom for decades came to an end today.

The two people embarked on two completely different paths, which made Nell, who was not well educated, very emotional.

In fact, the aftermath of the matter was more troublesome than Nell imagined. Not long after, the bailiffs of the court found Lynch.

The bailiff told Lynch that the things he bought were stolen goods and would be temporarily seized. Lynch said that he needed to consult a lawyer before giving the court an answer.

This is a very official and most common answer. Most rich people can afford lawyers, and lawyers will use their professional knowledge to help these rich people avoid various problems.

This is the value of wealth and the way to prove wealth.

Not long after the bailiff left, a lawyer came to Lynch's office.

"Mr. Lynch, I must inform you before we start talking that even if we have not reached any agreement, you must pay for the cost of the conversation during our communication, as well as the transportation and communication costs incurred when I come over. Is there a problem? ?”
