For those who came from small cities, a big city would be the scariest test of their lives.
For example, what the little maid was facing right now.
For the ordinary people, the upper class was even more of a tragic collision.
Different values, different morals, and different worldviews …
There was not much overlap. This was also the biggest problem between the upper class and the ordinary people. They were not on the same channel.
After returning from the Blissful Island, Austin had been silent. She seemed to be thinking about some philosophical questions. Lynch did not give her any more advice or help.
Some problems could only be solved by herself. No one else could help her.
This morning, Kazriel was invited by Lynch to his villa as a guest.
If it were not for the fact that this guy had the title of count and was passionate about various female professional sports events, Lynch might have forgotten about him long ago.
According to Lady Trish, he had sponsored many female professional sports events and had some scandals with some female athletes.
This was normal. Every action had an ultimate purpose. It was impossible for someone to take out a large amount of money for charity. There had to be a purpose.
Lynch thought of him. It was also on some things that he had room for cooperation with this Count Kazriel.
"I wanted to buy a house here before, but they said that the houses here were not sold to foreigners."
Kazriel looked at the decoration of the house. He sat on the sofa and patted the brand new leather sofa, feeling a little emotional.
"This is not good. I thought that my life in the Federation would be like home, but there are always some small places that keep reminding me that this is not my home."
Lynch smiled and did not say anything.
He knew about this, but it was not a policy issue. It was not that the Federation government did not allow him to buy property here, but that the residents here did not allow it.
Purification was a phenomenon unique to the Federation.
The upper class would resist the middle class moving into the area where they lived, and the middle class would also resist the lower and middle class living in their community.
The ordinary community would resist the poor people becoming their neighbors. Even the homeless would despise each other.
This was a characteristic of the Federation. Sometimes, it was not that people looked down on someone, but they looked down on the social class behind that person.
Lin Qi didn't reply and didn't say that he would help him. Count Kazril wasn't surprised. He was just asking in the hopes that it would work out.
Having a villa halfway up the mountain in Boone would help him increase his influence in the Federation.
"This time, you definitely didn't ask me to praise your villa, Lynch."
They had known each other for a long time. Count Kazriel... was not a proper count.
While the other nobles were fighting for power in their own countries, he came to the Federation to enjoy the convenient life here. He was a count who liked to enjoy life, and this was not his country, so he kept a low profile.
This also made him seem more amiable when he interacted with others.
Lynch nodded. "Although it's very presumptuous, can you tell me more about your country?"
"My country?"
The count couldn't help but laugh. "I also want that to be my country, but well, there's nothing I can't say..."
It was a very small country, about the size of two neighboring states in the Federation. It only had a population of more than two million, but it was relatively rich.
The reason for its wealth came from minerals and oil, which were very valuable.
There was no highly developed industrial environment in the country, only some light industry and agriculture, but this was enough to make them live very well.
The emperor was a wise old man. He abolished most of the various taxes, leaving only business taxes and a few tax items that had no impact on ordinary people. This also made it cost less for ordinary people to live in the country.
Unlike the Federation, forty to fifty percent of the income in a year ended up in the tax bureau's account through various means. Even if tax was avoided, twenty to thirty percent of the income had to be handed over.
There was no hostile relationship, a very peaceful small country.
Listening to his description, Lynch could already imagine how quiet the country was.
He hesitated for a moment. "I don't know if I should talk to you about this..."
Count Kazril was a little curious. "I don't quite understand what's bothering you, but if you don't say it, we'll never know if we should face it or not."
Lynch seemed to have made a choice after a struggle. "It's like this, there's a business worth ten billion..."
Count Kazril laughed loudly. "I know, Mr. Ten Billion. Are you talking about Galil?"
Lynch's expression gradually became serious. "No, what I want to talk to you about is the Federation's Saul, a business worth ten billion Federation Saul, but you should be able to understand."
"I can't handle such a large amount of money alone. At the same time, I also need some people to provide me with some necessary help."
"Maybe you'll ask why I chose you when our relationship is not particularly good. This is actually not a problem."
"Because we need the country behind you, this will be a part of the plan..."
Lynch was very straightforward and did not hide anything, which increased his persuasiveness.
Count Kazril fell silent.
A business worth ten billion, he suddenly felt a little thirsty. He picked up the cup on the coffee table and took a sip.
After living in the Federation for so many years, he understood a principle.
It was not difficult to gain the respect of people in this country, as long as you had money.
Look at those people in the workers' union. They just gave out free fried chicken and beer, and they gained the respect of the workers from the bottom of their hearts.
Look at those capitalists who only slightly increased the welfare of their employees. Those people who exercised in bed at night chatted with their partners about their boss — "The boss is really a good person!"
As long as you had money, you could become a friend of the president, a friend of a politician, and a friend of anyone, as long as you had money!
Money was a good thing.
"How much can I get?"
Count Kazril asked the question he was concerned about. "If it's too little, it won't do!"
He felt that even one-thousandth was acceptable. One-thousandth was ten million, and this money was enough for him to squander for a long time.
Many people felt that sponsoring competitions was very expensive, but in fact, it was not.
Tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands were enough to sponsor a competition. For example, if it was a regional competition, it was not as much as people thought.
At most, they would provide some accommodation and transportation fees, and then give the champion a few tens of thousands of dollars as prize money.
If it was a regional competition, they did not even need to provide transportation fees. People could come and participate at their own expense.
He wanted to do better, so naturally, he had to gamble a little. A few hundred thousand was enough to hold a large-scale competition. His hobby required a lot of money, and he also wanted to raise the scale of the various competitions he held.
Lynch did not give him a definite answer. "This is not a 100% business. I can guarantee that you will get a lot of returns, but how much you get is your business."
"I will tell you how things will develop, and then when you start and when you leave. I will not make the decision, but I will remind you."
"This is a gamble!"
Count Kazril seemed to have understood something. "Is it related to finance?"
Lynch nodded. "Yes, if you want to know more, we need to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Only then can I tell you more details."
Count Kazril said jokingly, "Actually, you can tell me now. A non-disclosure agreement may not be able to shut the mouth of someone who wants to talk."
"My people can. I have more than ten thousand fully armed employees. Forgive me for being blunt, but these people are enough to start a targeted war. What do you think?"
Count Kazril was stunned for a moment, and then he fell silent. He nodded. "I am very interested. When do we sign the agreement?"
Since Lin Qi had put it this way, it meant that he was serious about it.
He was only signing an agreement, not saying that he had to do it. Why not listen to what Lynch had to say first?
Most people were like this. Why not listen to what others had to say first? Anyway, their attitude would not be easily shaken.
But when others spoke, their attitude would be shaken.
For example, "I can't go in."
For example, "I won't move."
For example, "It won't hurt very soon."
There were models of non-disclosure agreements. Lynch had a pile of them in his study. These were the ones he usually prepared. When necessary, he could use them by filling in some key information. They were also legally binding.
After signing the agreement, he talked about his idea to snipe Silver.
"You must be crazy!"
Count Kazril kept shaking his head. "You are going against the whole world!"
"They will kill us!"
When he heard that what Lynch wanted to do was related to Silver, he was scared out of his wits.
This was no different from asking for death. With so many interest groups, even Lynch was not enough.
This was not to belittle Lynch, but these people were too many!
Individually, they were not a problem, but when they worked together, their strength was astonishing!
"Moreover, you can't shake the whole market. Even if you add us, it won't work. We can't take out so much money to fight against these people. They must have prepared more funds to prevent any possible risks!"
Count Kazril's words exposed his true thoughts.
It was not that he did not want to do it, but he knew he could not do it.
Lynch's face lit up with a smile as bright as the sun. He smiled reservedly. "That is not a problem for me, Count Kazril. This is just a part of the whole plan."
"Many 'parts' form a complete plan. As long as you join in, you are also a part of it.
If there are any problems with the plan, you can back out at any time, and I will not hold you responsible. This is my promise. "
"I can't guarantee how much you will earn, but I can guarantee that your profits will be beyond your wildest imagination!"
"Exciting, shuddering wealth!"
