"Anytime."
Lynch's answer was always full of confidence. Of course, it was also true confidence.
It was just a self-propelled cannon. Even if he could not draw it in detail, a conceptual drawing should not be a problem.
Don't forget, he had learned how to draw in a small room. There was plenty of time for him to learn anything he wanted to learn. Learning made people happy and could also make people forget their worries.
Mr. Vaudric looked at Lynch. His eyes seemed to say, "I f * cking knew you had an idea." Lynch agreed so quickly. He definitely had a series of plans.
In fact, there was no such thing. Making self-propelled cannons and tanks required a lot of industrial cooperation. Other than the companies under Lynch's control, there were also some companies that had nothing to do with heavy industry.
Even if he had a detailed production blueprint now, he could not make those things, let alone have the time to do it step by step.
Initially, he had almost forgotten about this matter.
After all, with the aircraft, this thing could be said to be the king of killers on the ground. Who would care about that thing?
But since Mr. Vaudric mentioned it, it might not be impossible. At least selling it to others would be a favor and he could make some money. Why not?
War and finance were always the fastest ways to make money. It had never changed!
Mr. Vaudric had taken up a lot of Lynch's time. After he finished smoking, he made an appointment with Lynch and took the initiative to leave. Lynch was the "main character" today. There were still many people who wanted to talk to him.
As soon as Mr. Vaudric left, Mr. Patu came over. "That bastard didn't like to look at his watch when he started talking. He took more than ten minutes!"
Mr. Vaudric, who was not far away, heard it. He stopped and looked at Mr. Patu. He made a shooting gesture with his hand.
Mr. Patu also made a "counterattack." It was just a joke.
"Looks like you have a good relationship."
Lynch said.
Mr. Patu did not deny it. "Everyone needs some friends, and people like us need them even more."
"You will soon understand that the higher you stand, the more you need friends or people who can support you, whether they are on your side or your enemies."
This sentence was Mr. Patu's lament, a kind of experience accumulated over the years. Sometimes, problems often came from within.
For example, the other members of the consortium were dissatisfied with his approach, his direction, his … Anyway, they were dissatisfied.
There was absolutely no way to persuade these people by relying on persuasion. The best way was to put pressure on them.
Moreover, it was external pressure.
As long as someone could make those people feel that they urgently needed Mr. Patu's support, otherwise their wealth and status would become very dangerous, they would cooperate with Mr. Patu's work.
This was the same for Mr. Vaudric. His position as CEO was not very satisfactory. If it were not for Lynch's kindness and added some pressure to them, Mr. Vaudric might have been removed from the position of CEO by the board of directors.
As for why it was the two of them — the lion's enemy and friend would always be the lion!
Skipping this topic, Mr. Patu talked about a topic that Lynch did not expect. "I heard that you are promoting education reform."
Lin Qi was slightly taken aback. Not many people knew about this. He also opened a cigarette and thought about where it might have leaked from while lighting it up.
After thinking about it, it might have been from Mr. Trumann or the President. He believed that Catherine would not talk nonsense now.
With a guess, the way of the conversation was easy to adjust.
"I have this idea …" He did not deny it. "But now is not the time, and it lacks some necessary components."
"Money!"
Mr. Patu's one sentence, one word, directly hit the core. He emphasized again, "Money!"
Lynch nodded. "Indeed, money is very important. It is related to whether the plan can be carried out or not. Why, Mr. Patu, are you interested in this aspect?"
The relationship between Mr. Patu and Lynch was not the same as the relationship between him and other people. Because both of them were "aristocrats," it was that interesting.
Regardless of whether the Agincourt Family had aristocratic blood or not, at least Mr. Patu thought that he was an aristocrat, and so did Lynch, which made him feel a natural sense of intimacy.
If he could deceive himself to this extent, it did not matter whether he was a real aristocrat or not.
He did not hide his thoughts and nodded. "Yes, I am different from him …"
He was referring to Mr. Vaudric. "The consumption of Star Dream Butterfly's industry is not so strong. You know, the type of assets in our hands are not the kind that is inclined to consumption."
Lynch nodded. The big capitalists of the early generation had survived until today. The real valuable thing in their hands was the land that was not so valuable before.
The era of huge land profits brought about by social development was heating up.
They had large tracts of land in various cities and many real estate projects. These things made them not need to spend so much money to maintain.
It was like they owned some shopping malls in the city center. Other than the daily maintenance, they did not need to pay for anything else.
This was different from the processing industry and manufacturing industry. Many of the consumption of these enterprises were costs, but Star Dream Butterfly Group did not have so many manufacturing and processing industries.
This also made Star Dream Butterfly have a lot of money in their hands. In the past, this money could be used to invest in finance, but after the crash, people's enthusiasm for finance was no longer as crazy as before.
In other words, the upper class's attitude toward finance had begun to change. They liked money games, but they did not like money games that could send them to hell.
So what should they do?
Having no place to invest money was also a problem. Coincidentally, Mr. Patu heard that Lynch was promoting education reform with the Office of the President. He had a little detailed understanding of the background and development, and felt that this was a good opportunity.
He looked at Lynch and was very frank. "I heard that you are planning to get student loans. Maybe you can count me in?"
Now, the Federation had "enrollment insurance." To put it simply, if someone wanted to go to college, they would buy this insurance. Once they were admitted to college, a little of the insurance would be returned.
This insurance needed to be bought from the first year of high school. In fact, many students who bought this insurance and thought that they could go to college were not so lucky in the end.
After all, in this era, going to college was really not a simple thing. Just the interview alone could make some people feel the hostility of the world.
In addition, the return rate of enrollment insurance was not as high as imagined. Most people still could not afford to go to college. If they were admitted to college but gave up in the end, the insurance would not pay.
This gave Lynch some ideas. Student loans and enrollment funds, how good was that?
Some people had to take a lifetime loan to buy a house, but now, people might take a lifetime loan to go to college.
But it did not matter. Soon, these people would start to get used to receiving a brand-new bill every cycle. They had never seen it before. "Please pay the principal and interest of the student loan on time!"
Lynch thought for a moment. This was not a problem. "Why do you have such an idea?"
Mr. Patu pursed his lips. "Nothing will never change. Lynch, wealth, status, and even gold will always change."
"Our profit is too simple. Real estate, service, and sales industries, these things …" He shook his head. "We need to expand new channels."
"They are all improving. If we stay where we are, we will be swallowed by the waves of the era!"
This was a very thoughtful statement, and this was also the true portrayal of Mr. Patu and more rich people.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it was a transformation.
Every era had its own characteristics. In the early years, it was especially profitable to do resources, such as steel production. Later, it was to do factories to make money. Now, it was light industry and scientific research.
Times were changing too quickly. After the era of huge profits, it was the era of small profits. Eventually, it would enter the era of negative profits.
If they could not find new profit points before losses appeared and could not transform, it was possible that a consortium would gradually decline.
It was better to kill people who had owned wealth than to let them return to the streets.
As for why they chose to do it with student loans, it was also because of the competition.
Compared to some of the older consortiums or companies that started with insurance, it was very difficult for even Star Dream Butterfly to rashly enter the insurance or financial market.
With the obstruction of insurance companies and banks, it was very difficult to succeed. In the end, they might be forced to buy a company and operate it themselves.
It might take ten or twenty years, or even longer, to recoup their losses.
Therefore, when he knew that Lynch and the Office of the President were promoting student loans, his first thought was to use the student loans as an opportunity, an opportunity, to open his own future in the insurance and financial field.
With such an opportunity as a springboard, even if he failed in the end, it would not hurt his foundation.
What's more, this was a reform promoted by the President. It would not fail so easily.
"There shouldn't be such a possibility this year. Next year or the year after, we should try to fully promote these things. At that time, we can sit down and talk again."
Mr. Patu nodded slightly. "Of course, I'm just expressing my thoughts. When the time comes, just let someone inform me."
The two of them said a few more words that were not very meaningful. Mr. Patu invited Lynch to attend the Saint Harmony meeting when he was free, and then they separated.
After that, every once in a while, a person would come to Lynch to talk to him, and then another person would come.
It was tiring to be a rich, influential person!
Who knew that Lynch had to consider so many things for society every day. He was busier than the President!
