"I've always wanted to come to the Federation."
On a luxurious cruise ship, the young Earl was lying on a deck chair in a short-sleeved shirt and pants.
There was some fruit juice on the table beside him, and some girls were playing not far away.
There were also a few people sitting around him.
Further away, some security guards were patrolling back and forth with rifles in their hands.
The news that dozens of rich people from the Federation had been kidnapped at sea had spread all over the world. Now, the rich people were very concerned about their own safety. For example, when the Guevra Merchant Group visited the Federation, not only did they arrange enough guards on the cruise ship, but they also found a warship to escort them.
The young Earl deliberately changed out of the formal clothes that he had had enough of and put on the indecent goods from the Federation — short-sleeved shirts and pants.
This kind of outfit was a sin in Guevra. Even the scum in the sewers would not dress like this.
But it had to be said that it was really comfortable to wear like this.
The young Earl was very comfortable. The sea breeze blew, and he felt that a different life was slowly appearing in his life.
The people around him were also members of the merchant group. This group of new nobles had listened to Lynch's advice and gave up on developing in Guevra. Instead, they went to Amelia.
In Amelia, they finally saw the power of capital. After all the shackles of capital were removed, the speed of capital development was beyond everyone's imagination.
At first, they needed Lynch's phone to control how they competed with the people of the Federation. This sounded quite unbelievable because Lynch was a member of the Federation and a key member of the Amelia Federation. He actually commanded the Guevara People to compete with the people of the Federation. Was he committing treason?
No!
Of course not.
Not only did he not commit treason, but he was also very patriotic.
Gevra's capital had always been bound by power, so Gevra's capital had long since developed into a twisted monster.
Power could arbitrarily dominate the market, which was obviously a stupid way of doing things that went against the free will of the market.
Instead of loosening the constraints on the capital in Amelia, they would absorb a lot of "water" and expand back to their original state.
Then they would take what they had, and bring it back to Gefra, and raise a storm.
The people around him agreed. There was no other way. Among this group of people, the little count's title was the highest, followed by his wealth, and his relationship with Lynch was the best. They could only respect him.
This was the most obvious difference between the Gefra and the Federation. If this kind of thing happened in the Federation, even if people couldn't refute anyone, they would still have their own opinions. They wouldn't go along with it, and they wouldn't express their opinions.
This was the right granted to them by the Federation Charter. They could retain their own attitudes and opinions, and no one could force them to do what they had to do or how to do it.
However, in Gevra, not expressing one's opinion in a timely manner meant that one had opposing thoughts. This was very dangerous. If it was a problem between two people of the same level, it could still be perfunctory. However, if there was an obvious difference between them, this could be fatal.
One shouldn't assume that all nobles were magnanimous. There were plenty of narrow-minded nobles out there. Nobles who got jealous and started wars because their wives looked at someone else a little longer had existed before. Furthermore, some people expressed their opinions, while others didn't.
Someone put forward some of their own ideas. "Does Mr. Lynch know that we're going this time?"
The little count shook his head. "He didn't know before, but he should know now. I want to give him a surprise!"
The little count's perception of Lynch was very strange. When a person worshipped another person, they would gradually lose themselves. Take note, it was worship.
The word 'worship' had a certain religious and ritual color. It was blindly following a certain attitude, a certain will, and even a certain person.
From the little count's point of view, Lynch's family background was very poor, and the environment he grew up in was very poor. It could be said that he had almost no capital. However, such a person had developed to a level that even the little count had to look up to.
More importantly, they were of the same age.
This gave him the illusion that "if someone of the same age as me can do it well, then I can do it well too." Then, he madly worshipped everything Lynch said, and Lynch nourished this worship with his continuous success.
Before Lynch made a major mistake, the little count wouldn't question any of Lynch's decisions.
As for the small problems between Lynch and his mother?
Wasn't it normal for two adults to have some needs? Besides, they didn't plan to get married, and didn't plan to give him any younger siblings. He didn't need to stop them.
The lives of nobles, especially great nobles, were much more ridiculous than this. This was nothing!
Thinking about this, the little count took a sip of the juice cup. The cold juice flowed into his stomach, and his slightly hot body became cool under the early summer sun.
They began to talk about the recent earnings. Everyone was making money, and it was a lot of money.
The Amelia region quickly stabilized with the help of various policies. A large number of Nagaleans diluted the proportion of the locals in the society.
In addition, the Nagaleans liked to complain. Even if there were some dangerous signs, they could be snuffed out in time.
People began to yearn for stable work and life. The war and confrontation made them feel exhausted. They just wanted to go back to their old lives as soon as possible.
All kinds of reconstruction work, all kinds of new enterprises and factories, gave these people an extremely stable life.
The economic development of the Amelia region far exceeded that of the Gefra mainland. The Gefra's initial inland strategy also began to work at this moment.
The economic boom allowed the new generation of nobles who came here first to earn money. They already had power, and now they had money. When the alchemist placed the flask filled with power on the reactor and poured a catalyst called "wealth", a terrible thing quickly reacted and spread in all directions.
After another two days of travel, the luxury cruise ship docked at the southern port.
As soon as the little count got off the ship, he was a little surprised. He walked forward quickly with a smile on his face, and even forgot to support his mother.
"Lynch, it's so good to see you!"
Lynch rolled his eyes. "If they hadn't escorted me to the train station and then sent me here, I would have said the same thing!"
"I'll take it as a joke!"
The little count laughed loudly. "You're so humorous!"
He didn't forget to add.
Lin Qi couldn't hold it in either. In the end, he laughed as well, and the two hugged.
When Mr. Trumann heard that the Guevara People were coming for a business visit, the first person he thought of was Lynch.
Lynch and the little count had a good relationship. In addition, the security agency wasn't sure of the purpose of these people, so Mr. Trumann asked Lynch to receive them.
And for this kind of business reception, it was obviously inappropriate to send a high-ranking official.
"Hello, Baron."
The little count's mother came forward and reached out her hand. Lynch kissed the back of her fingers.
"Hello, madam."
He was serious and didn't have the slightest frivolity of a young man. He could always find the best way to deal with any situation.
Next were the members of the other merchant groups. These nobles who couldn't develop in the mainland and were driven to the special region were completely different from when Lynch parted with them.
Everyone was full of spirit. The change in wealth was the biggest change to people.
There was a saying that "wealth is the foundation of a person's courage." This sentence wasn't necessarily correct, but it was very reasonable.
When one didn't have money, they didn't dare to participate in the various social activities held by others.
You couldn't always eat and drink at the various social activities held by others. You also had to hold various activities of the same level to have a better feedback to the nobles.
But without money, what could they do?
That could only reduce the number and scale of social activities. This was also the reason why the poorer the nobles, the poorer they were. At the same time, it also extended to another kind of behavior.
The poorer they were, the more extravagant and wasteful they were.
Many people didn't understand. In fact, the former had lost the possibility of contact, while the latter only wanted to seize this opportunity and did everything they could.
The new generation of nobles who were squeezed out now had money and confidence. Their whole mental outlook was different from before.
Everyone greeted them warmly. The clerks sent by the Federation government also wanted to go up and greet these people, but they didn't expect to be treated well.
The nobles smiled and greeted Lynch with a straight face, making it difficult for people to approach them. It was as if the smiles on their faces were just an illusion.
After getting into the car, the young Earl sat beside Lynch.
"I've seen the notice. Do you have a clear plan for this visit?"
The notice said that these people were here for a business visit. The content of the visit was to learn about the Federation's advanced free market structure and the like. At the same time, there was a possibility of investment here.
This was also one of the reasons why Lynch was arranged to come. The Federation was now short of money and investment. The speed of development also meant that more places were urgently in need of nutrients.
Now that a group of Gavra nobles had come with money, could they just leave without leaving a part of it?
No!
Lynch looked at the young Earl after asking. The young Earl didn't have anything to hide. "Let's go and take a look. At the same time, invest in some industries. It's a kind of insurance."
"Insurance?"
Lynch repeated the word, his tone a little hesitant.
The young Earl nodded and didn't elaborate. This wasn't the place to talk.
He skipped the topic and continued, "Other than this, I also heard that the film industry in the Federation is developing very quickly. So we want to go to Lardimo to take a look. Maybe we'll invest in some film companies there."
Before coming, he had done his homework. The industry that developed the fastest in the Federation in recent years was the film industry.
As long as one had the slightest bit of brain, not to mention making money, breaking even was not a big problem. This also led to a large amount of hot money flowing in here.
All kinds of movies were released continuously. The film industry was unprecedentedly prosperous, just like the Federation before the Great Depression broke out a few years ago!
