Capital has never been warm, gentle, kind, or sunny …
Capital was indifferent, cold-blooded, and greedy.
If someone told you that a capitalist was a good person, you would punch them in the face and spit on them.
Whether it was the fall of Heng Hui or Christopher, it meant that tens of millions of yuan had been released.
An enterprise that relied on exploiting those workers might have the opportunity to reach the threshold of the upper class in this lifetime. As long as the number of people exploited was enough, it could also generate huge profits. However, in terms of the degree and speed of their expansion, they would never be able to compete with those who embezzled each other.
For the current world of capital in the Federation, the concept of capital had undergone some small changes.
From the beginning, people "pursued more profits as the goal". Those who did business through exploitation and deception were called capitalists.
Until now, people were more inclined to call those people or groups who used financial means and other advanced methods to plunder assets capitalists. This was an evolutionary process of an era.
The capitalist camp was also divided into two groups. One was the industrialists, and the other was the financiers. The interesting thing was that the financiers seemed to look down on those who did business, but they couldn't leave them.
If Lynch only opened a factory, produced goods, and then sold them, it might take him a lifetime to earn the money he had now.
But now, with a combination of methods, he could easily earn this much money.
In fact, it was wrong to call it money, because fixed assets and investment goods couldn't be calculated purely in the form of "valuation". Strictly speaking, any fixed assets and investment goods weren't wealth in the financial field. Only things that were converted into cash were wealth. Before they were converted into cash, they were just goods.
Lynch obtained these goods, and a part of them would be distributed to various people. The bank helped him, so it was natural that some people would get some benefits. Lynch wasn't a stingy person.
Mr. Trumann also helped him a little, but he couldn't directly give these goods or money to Mr. Trumann. Doing so represented a transaction of power and money, which meant corruption and official crimes.
However, he could use Mr. Trumann's name to provide some benefits to the Federation military in return for Mr. Trumann's help.
Friends were mutual, and the help from friends was also mutual.
Mr. Trumann's foundation was in the military. As long as his relationship with the military remained harmonious, his position in the Federation government would not change. Even if the president couldn't win the election, he could take a step back and enter the Ministry of Defense as a high-ranking official.
The joint development company also needed to get some benefits. It didn't seem to have much to do with the company, but it was more or less related to the company.
If the joint development company hadn't made its position clear on this matter, the six major guilds might not have actively cooperated.
Of course, the board of the joint development company's board of directors might not be interested in Lynch's, but they still had to make their stance clear. For example, they could find one or two manors from Mr. Herbers's property and provide them for the board of the board of the board of the joint development company.
The property rights were still Lynch's, but when others needed to use the house, it was unconditional. Not only would he not lose much money by doing this, but he could also show his elegance and magnanimity. He could also gain praise and friendship from others.
The world of capital was never that simple!
There were also some insignificant benefits. Lynch's income might decrease a little, but even if it was just a little, it was still a commodity wealth that was in the tens of millions.
After hanging up the phone, Lynch was in a good mood. He hummed a little tune with a smile on his face. He was laughing at himself for being so evil!
But this was capital, this was the world. With just a few slashes, a somewhat famous international banker had fallen. Similarly, if he wasn't careful, he would have lost a lot of money. But he was one step ahead and won.
"You seem to be in a good mood?"
Genia sat on the sofa with a pillow in her arms as she watched TV. The TV was also broadcasting news related to Nagalee. Gaffra was also very concerned about these things.
The Federation had invested too much effort and money in Nagalee. If there was a huge change in Nagalee, the Federation's future international development strategy might change.
In this world of international integration, strong countries were much more sensitive to changes in the attitude of other strong countries than weak countries.
Lynch sat on the sofa and leaned back to stretch his body. He told the truth. "I just earned tens of millions of Fra. It feels great."
Sometimes people were really strange. When you told the truth, they would think you were lying. But when you told a lie that you thought was fake, they would believe it.
Genia laughed. "That means I've made a profit too!"
Lynch was very curious. "How much did you earn?"
She glanced at Lynch. "Two hundred million!"
Lynch immediately understood what she was talking about. He was a little restless. His hand gently stroked Genia's calf that was lying on the sofa. Her skin was delicate and smooth, and he could feel the firmness of her muscles. "Do you want to earn more?"
Genia sucked her finger. "I'm afraid you don't have that much …"
What followed was a difficult trade war. The intensity of the battle was difficult to describe in words. In the end, Lynch lost to Genia.
When the two were lying together, Genia asked jokingly. "Do you know about Yuan Rong Capital?"
…
At this moment, Richard was in the limelight. He was attending a banquet hosted by a noble. The purpose of this banquet was to let more people know about Richard and his team.
After a year of dedicated research, Richard finally perfected his own theory based on the framework provided by Lynch and put it into practice.
Previously, Lynch had told him about a commercial game, a game that paid for one's ideals.
The game was very simple. You only needed a ticket to join the game, and you could get a steady stream of money. Money could make money, and that was the core of the game.
Some people might think that it was a scam, but when the first, second, and third period of real money were in people's hands, even if they still thought that it was a scam, they would still join in like crazy.
Lynch had met a couple of cultured people in the past. Both of them were professors and doctoral supervisors at a key university. They also joined a certain game.
At that time, Lynch had some friendship with them. When they were chatting in private, he asked them if they knew what they were doing.
He thought that the couple would use various methods to oppose Lynch's point of view, or even fall out with him. But what Lynch did not expect was that the couple readily told Lynch that they knew what they were doing. They also knew that the game was actually a scam.
This made Lynch feel … inconceivable. Since they knew it was a scam, why would they still participate? However, the couple told Lynch a question that he had never thought of before – they could make money.
In most similar scams, the first batch of people was the most likely to make money. Once the first batch of profits could not be met, it would be easy for problems to arise.
Moreover, when high-end scammers launched their plans, the first batch of targets would often target people with a certain social status and social circle. Professors and doctoral supervisors from key universities obviously met these conditions.
Later, the scam was eventually exposed. Many people were cheated of their family assets, but the professor and his wife made eight figures from it.
This was not a joke. It had happened in reality.
Now, Richard was actually in a similar situation. When his Yuan Rong Capital had just started, he had some important first batch of customers.
Among them, there was no lack of middle-class people and even a noble.
The high rate of return was extremely attractive to people who had nowhere to put their sense of security in today's society. The domestic development speed was slow, and the Amelia region was like a bottomless pit that devoured the domestic production value. People did not know what to do to avoid all the wrong choices until Richard appeared.
The 8% rate of return per cycle was shocking. One must know that a return cycle was only 30 days. In other words, it only took one year to break even, and in the second year, it could quickly achieve profits at a rate of 8% per month.
The annual return of those famous funds in the world was less than 15%, but the annual return of Yuan Rong Capital was 96%. Could this be a scam?
No, this was not a scam. Or rather, a group of clever scammers.
It was not that Yuan Rong Capital did not have an "entity". According to Richard, they had dozens of exploration teams looking for gold mines all over the world. Every year, a steady number of gold mines were discovered and put into mining.
The financial products they issued were called "Yuan Rong Bonds". Everyone's returns came from gold mines.
Some photos, some written reports, and some briefings. From the first batch of people who joined in half-believing and half-doubting, to the fact that they had already steadily received dividends for two periods, people no longer cared whether this round of capital and notes was a scam or not. They only cared about the huge returns.
More and more people joined through various channels, and the funds in Richard's hands also doubled.
This time, he was an important investor, a Count of the Empire specially held this banquet for him to attract more people to join.
Whether it was a scam or not, as long as Richard was still profitable, those who joined first would not lose money.
When the last guest entered the banquet, the Count asked someone to close the door of the hall. He raised his wine glass, stood beside Richard, and said loudly, "To Richard and the Bonds!"
