Blackstone Code

On a weekday morning, Lem made a sudden call to Lynch.

Lem's current job is in the financial investment business at the Southern Hemisphere Financial Center in Nagaril. This is the same job as Vera's son.

It's just that the two people are not at the same level——

All Lem had to do was sit in his office and there were plenty of people willing to put money into the foundation's account and then wait for the money to be distributed at the end of the year.

Vera's son needs to use various social methods to convince investors that investing money in him is the best choice.

Over the years, Lyme has developed its own brand effect with its stable and reliable reputation. In the Federation, people believe in this.

They believe that this kind of long-term foundation with stable returns will not suddenly collapse. Although people lose miserably every time an accident occurs, most of the time people believe this.

At present, there is no major business relationship between Lynch and Lem, which means that his foundation still has 30% of the shares in Lynch's hands.

At the end of each year, Lynch can get about one or two million in dividends from the foundation's profits, and that's it——

Although "that's all" is used, it does not mean that this is a project that lacks profits. In fact, there are many things that can be manipulated in the foundation's profit calculation method.

The simplest point, such as staff expenses, is very flexible!

As Lem is now very famous in the financial investment community, his annual salary is... one million or two million. Is there any problem?

This is just his salary alone. What if his financial team is included?

For example, those traders, managers, etc., they not only receive high basic salaries, but also more considerable business commissions.

Then there are the expenses for various cocktail parties and banquets, which are inseparable from finance.

According to incomplete statistics, Bupen's financial professionals spend more than 300 million on models every year!

If you want to put the 500,000 in other people's pockets into your own pocket, the upfront cost may exceed 5%.

After this calculation, Lynch, or simply shareholders, will not get much money.

But then again, a pure dividend of one to two million per year is not a small amount.

After all, Lynch does not hold any position and does not receive other commissions or shares.

The cooperation between the two was quite pleasant, Lem was a smart man, and Lynch felt at ease with him.

I had previously considered withdrawing funds and handing over all my shares to Lem, but Lem refused.

Smart people get more most of the time.

"Is there a problem?"

"You rarely call me at this time." Lynch looked at the time and it was now morning.

People engaged in finance rarely get up before ten o'clock. Unless they have a big short-term operation, the rich nightlife makes them basically not think about getting out of bed before lunch.

Lime laughed, not too embarrassed. He also had enough understanding and respect for Lynch, and that was enough.

"You know me, Mr. Lynch. I have encountered a very strange thing these days, but I have no one to consult. After thinking about it, I have to ask you for advice."

Lem's words were appropriate, and Lynch responded to him positively, "You can talk about it."

"The thing is like this..."

The stock and futures markets have suddenly undergone huge changes in the past few days, and the prices of some metal ores have begun to increase significantly, such as iron ore and copper ore.

Their prices continued to increase steadily and rapidly at a rate of two to three percent per day. He also inquired about it and found that physical delivery was also very frequent.

The entire mining industry seems to have ushered in a new development opportunity, just like the year after the war.

As the world rebuilds, steel prices have soared, driving up trade in iron ore and related ores.

But there hasn't been any big news recently. The rising prices of these metal ores have made him, an investor who has always focused on finance, feel something is not right!

At the same time, a new railway company was established in Nagaril. Because of the company's amazing background, the Financial Supervisory Commission gave it the green light to go public.

A company that may not have been established for more than three months is actually listed globally.

As soon as the stock was listed, it attracted a lot of attention. The company said it would build railways with a total length of about 65,000 kilometers around the world and be responsible for the later maintenance of the railways, including toll collection.

The stock went crazy as soon as it went public. Lem only bought a little and made a lot of money, but he just felt something was wrong.

"I have checked the news about railways in some countries, including the Federation and Pengeo, and no country has such a long demand for railways."

"I suspect this is a scam, but I can't be sure because the price of metal ore is obviously controlled by others."

"In addition, I recently discovered that many labor service companies have been established, and a large number of idle human resources have begun to be recruited."

"Mr. Lynch, you have many partners around the world. Do you have any inside information..."

What are you most afraid of in the financial game?

It's a financial scam.

Once you step into some financial scams, not to mention people like Lem, even large consortiums will be severely cut.

He originally thought that the railway company was using the same old tricks to defraud money. This trick had already been played twice by big capitalists when he was in the Federation.

About 1.5 billion funds were taken away from the federal financial market twice, and this was fifty and twenty years ago.

The 1.5 billion at that time is almost more than 10 billion now.

But as he continued to inquire about the truth behind these messages, he found that it did not seem to be a scam. He was vaguely aware that something he didn't know was happening.

In particular, institutions like the Financial Supervisory Commission seemed to be involved, which made Lem feel a little excited but also a little scared.

The referee is fucking off, something big must have happened!

After much deliberation, only Lynch might know some inside information, so this phone call was made.

In fact, he is not the only one like Lem. With the Holy Peace Council and the federal government highly unified in their opinions on the issue of the Great Ice Age, the world's top capital circles have been fully mobilized.

But capitalists are capitalists after all, they are not... philanthropists. Being able to use other people's things to do their own things is the correct thing for capitalists to do.

They will not spend their own money to build shelters. In order to prevent the news from spreading too quickly and causing a collapse of world-class social order, they have to find a way to put ordinary people's money into their pockets and then use the money to provide services for themselves. Do things, and in the end, don't let these ordinary people who spent money and contributed their damn efforts to enter the shelter.

Financial fraud is the most common method, but this time they do not intend to defraud, but to do it for real.

Naturally, some very special companies will emerge that can quickly raise large amounts of funds in the financial market.

On the other hand, this is also an inevitable result. Not all consortiums and companies can take out a lot of money anytime and anywhere like Blackstone Bank or some world-class banks.

For a company with a market value of 100 million, the fact that it can produce 10 million in cash is enough to show that its financial situation is very healthy.

The current estimate of the Koland project is that the cost of building a shelter is over 20 billion, and even if it is paid in installments, they can't come up with the money.

The only place where so much money can be collected quickly is in the financial market.

More and more strange companies are starting to go public and make money, which makes Lem feel that something is wrong, and it also makes many financial practitioners feel that something is wrong.

Rhyme was able to call Lynch to ask for some information behind this, and can only say that he is very serious about his work in his field of expertise.

Lynch did not answer Lem's question immediately, because it was not easy to answer. It was impossible to tell him that the railway company really planned to build a 65,000-kilometer railway.

They also plan to connect some not-so-distant refuges together.

This kind of answer is difficult to believe without the assistance of other intelligence information.

"Maybe you should give yourself a break?"

Lynch replied.

Lime was stunned for a while. He thought about this sentence back and forth for a while, and suddenly realized that there were some things that were not clear on the phone. He also understood what Lynch meant, and immediately made a statement.

"You are right, Mr. Lynch, I will give myself a holiday now. Will you be free in a few days?"

"I'm going back to the Federation in a few days. I just want to thank you for taking care of me over the years..."

After hanging up the phone, Lynch pursed his lips. Now a part of him must have begun to realize that something was wrong, and he didn't know how long the current order could be maintained.

And how long can such a secret last?

The entire federal society was running as smoothly as ever at this time. Under the calm lake surface, there were turbulent undercurrents that people could not see.

Lynch's own shelter construction plan also began to be slowly implemented.

He has his own construction company with professional talents. When Lynch sent the plan request of "building a doomsday underground shelter" to the design company, all the designers thought it might be a joke.

But then Blackstone Capital Corporation announced that the "adopted design" would receive a bonus of 300,000 yuan, and had a mysterious grand prize awarded by Mr. Lynch himself, and everyone got started.

One such designer was Nick, who was part of Blackstone Construction Group, and he got the job.

Looking at the various design requirements, he really didn't care too much like everyone else at first.

Even though there are so many bonuses and mysterious grand prizes, he is not very interested.

This project...has a lot of problems.

For example, it would be difficult to build a shelter underground that could accommodate at least 200,000 people...
