For several days, everyone was busy with their own affairs, and the "refusal" of Every Moment made the other tobacco companies even more fiercely in the limelight.
Even the manager of Flourish & Prosper contacted Lynch privately, saying that someone was still willing to buy Every Moment's tobacco business at a high price, and gave Lynch a very considerable offer.
Many people thought that Every Moment was going to fall, including the shareholders of Tomorrow's Light Investment Company.
Some of them had called Lynch, either hinting or directly communicating with him, to ask his opinion on the future of Every Moment.
Under the bold, black-lettered headline of Every Moment, Every Moment, Every Moment, Every Moment, Every Moment, Every Moment, Every Moment, Every Moment, Every Moment, Every Moment, Every Moment, Every Moment, Every Moment, Every Moment, Every Moment, Every Moment.
It was a heavy narrative tone, as if describing the whole process of a giant from birth to glory and then crashing down.
It was as tragic as an epic. No one was optimistic about Every Moment, as well as Lynch, who was now at the helm of Every Moment.
Standing behind the glass wall of the office, Lynch looked at the bustling city outside the window, without the slightest pain caused by the outside comments on his face. He was very calm.
On the sofa that was used to entertain guests, there was a person that no one expected to see.
Sevillera, her head maid, was pouring coffee for her.
The room was filled with a very strange atmosphere. The head maid had some inexplicable expectations in her heart. She liked to watch such a plot. It was very exciting, but also very sad. What kind of sparks would these two people create?
Tasting the fragrant and sweet flower tea, Sevillera's heart was not calm.
When Lynch said that he had slept with a … mother, she felt disgusted. She felt that Lynch was like all the men who had surrounded her, hoping to get her pregnant so that they could inherit Mr. Vaudric's business.
Cheap and despicable.
This mood quickly evolved into a competitive consciousness and attitude. She had been working hard to develop her business. Until now, she had not gotten married, nor had there been any scandals, which was incredible for a girl of her age and identity.
The noble ladies of the consortiums who were crowned as "princesses" had already seen the length and breadth of the human world. Every day, they would hang out at various parties.
But Sevillera didn't. She wanted to prove that she didn't belong to anyone through her own efforts. She wasn't just a keyhole to obtain Mr. Vaudric's wealth — the key was with the person who opened the door.
However, she gradually discovered that some things had changed. She also suddenly understood why Lynch had rejected her and even used such an excuse.
Well, this was not an excuse. Sevillera had even seen the child's mother, Vera, from afar.
She was a quiet, gentle woman who could bring tolerance.
There was a kind of motherly radiance around her.
It was a very difficult feeling to describe. When you saw her, you knew that she was a good mother, a good wife, and could bring the warmth of a family.
Although the truth was quite funny.
The growth of experience made her see a different version of herself, a different version of Lynch. At this time, sitting here, she was an outsider with a savior's attitude.
She put the teacup back on the cup holder with a slight touch. "I can transfer a batch of tobacco leaves from Marillo into the country. In less than a week, your factory will be able to continue production."
Mr. Vaudric had a wide range of friends. Even in Marillo, there were warlords who gave him face.
Want to buy some tobacco?
Not only can you get the friendship of Mr. Vaudric's … daughter, but you can also make some money. You can even open the sealed Federation market. Those warlords had no reason to refuse.
Sevillera looked at Lynch, wanting to see if he would apologize for his stupid words.
Maybe he would. The market value was evaporating every minute and every second. Lynch wouldn't sit back and watch it become less and less valuable.
She raised her chin slightly. Her fair neck reminded people of young hair at a glance, and they wanted to smell it.
She was proud. After being rejected with such words, she would definitely get back her face.
However, Lynch didn't seem to turn around, apologize, ask for her forgiveness, and talk to her about the tobacco as she expected.
This surprised her a little, but she felt that it was normal.
When he said in front of her that he had just given birth to a child's mother, Sevillera knew that he wasn't an ordinary person. She didn't know what he would say or do.
There was a better way, but he used the most incomprehensible one.
The silence lasted for a while. Sevillera asked again, "Aren't you worried about the current situation?"
Lynch turned around and looked at her.
At this moment, the whole city turned into his background. Just the act of turning around was suffocatingly handsome.
"Your legs are very beautiful, very white, and the distribution of fat is very good. The maid's skirt has to give you ten points."
Lynch praised the head maid, who rolled her eyes at him.
The corner of Sevillera's eyes twitched. She picked up the teacup again and lowered her head to hide the change in her eyes.
A moment later, when she put the teacup down, she had returned to normal.
"It seems that you really aren't worried about the current situation. Can you tell me why? I'm very curious!"
This was a serious request for advice. When a person wanted to defeat another person, she would put in several times more effort to study the person and look for his flaws.
The more they studied Lin Qi, the more confused they were and the more they sighed. Every step he took was on the key point of every matter. It was as if everything that happened and how it would develop in the future were all under his control.
Lynch looked at her, walked to the sofa and sat down. He took out a cigarette and lit it.
The curling smoke became the only decoration between the two at this moment, swaying unpredictably.
"The current situation is a company with a market value of more than one billion. It's very rare in the Federation, and it hasn't been broken up!"
In fact, the real market value of many companies in the Federation was very shocking. However, after more than two hundred years of exploration and practice, the capitalists in the Federation found some ways to hide it.
For example, Lynch's company that produced airplanes and his research institute were broken up into several independent companies. Each company had its own business and finances.
The methods of the big conglomerates were even better. They were used to breaking up the company to hide their fangs and hide their bodies among the other capitalists.
If the current situation was broken up, it wouldn't be very eye-catching.
However, it didn't do that, so it was still one of the few successful multinational companies.
Lynch crossed his legs and flicked the cigarette ash. "Do you know what it means to have such a high market value?"
"This company has the power to resist, but it didn't resist when it should have. What does that mean?"
Lynch pointed at Sevillera with the finger holding the cigarette. "I'm showing weakness."
"Actually, I knew what you wanted to do when you came here. I thank you for thinking of me at a time like this, but you don't have to worry. The storm they've stirred up will be over soon."
Sevillera was very curious. "Can you tell me what you're going to do?"
Lynch smiled and said, "It's a secret."
"You're such a stingy guy!"
Sevillera smiled. Although she didn't fulfill her wish this time, it made her very happy. She didn't know why.
Just as she was about to leave, Lynch asked, "Are you going to invest?"
Sevillera sat back down. "Are you willing to?"
"I need your father's reputation to solve a problem for me, and accepting your investment is the commission I'll pay you."
"We're on the same side. I won't hide anything from you. What I give you, I'll take back from other places …"
In the evening, Sevillera, who had drunk some wine, returned home. The head maid told Mr. Vaudric everything that happened today. The most important thing was that she could guarantee that the young lady didn't sleep with Lynch. She was still the same as before.
After Sevillera changed her clothes, she went to Mr. Vaudric's study and repeated what happened today.
The focus of their narration was different. At first, it felt like they were talking about two different things. However, Mr. Vaudric was very experienced, so he knew how to listen.
In the end, Sevillera asked two questions.
First, who was the enemy that Lynch couldn't defeat now?
Second, what should Lynch do to win this game that seemed to be a lost game?
Mr. Vaudric was very happy to see his daughter's drunken look and her growth over the past year.
"In fact, these questions are very simple. As long as you think about it seriously, you'll know the answer. However, I can tell you now.
"The first question is that Lynch can't defeat Flourish & Prosper. The party that needs my reputation is Flourish & Prosper.
"His development has been very amazing, but compared to the six major banks, he's still too young.
"The six major banks compete with each other on the surface. They have overlapping parts in all aspects, and the competition is very fierce.
"However, if someone or a company dares to challenge the banking and financial rules set by the six major banks, then the six major banks will unite to fight against him.
"Lynch can't buy back their shares from Flourish & Prosper. As long as these shares remain in Flourish & Prosper's hands, they won't be honest."
Sevillera listened very carefully and also analyzed and thought about it. After a while, she extended some questions based on the original question.
"Didn't Flourish & Prosper cooperate well with Every Moment before? Why can't they cooperate with Lynch?
"They can work together like before and be very close to each other."
Mr. Vaudric chuckled softly. "In the past, the president and the biggest shareholder were foreigners. Flourish & Prosper had many ways to get what they wanted.
"However, the biggest shareholder now is Lynch, so Flourish & Prosper must abide by the rules.
"More importantly, Lin Qi is more opinionated and domineering than anyone else!"
"They can't control Lynch, so they must sell their things at a good price.
"As for the second question …"
Mr. Vaudric looked at the watch on his wrist. "It's very late. You should sleep. You'll know tomorrow."
