"I owe you a favor!"

In the manor hidden in the dense forest, Mr. PATU raised his glass and smiled more than usual.

He and Lynch touched glasses, and then each drank a sip.

There were only two of them and a housekeeper in the quiet open-air lunch, and the others were far away from here.

"Try this..." Mr. PATU asked the housekeeper to send a steak to Lynch.

The housekeeper brought the steak from the cooking car in front of the cook. The steak, dip sauce and some sour cucumbers looked very appetizing.

"It looks great!" Lynch waited for the housekeeper to put the steak firmly, picked up the knife and fork and cut another piece.

The steak is very delicious.

It's not the kind of meat that isn't fully fried, it's the meat that's fully cooked.

Knives and forks finished their work with little hindrance.

Looking at the steak poked on the fork, it has a beautiful texture and looks bright. In fact, the fat content is slightly high. In addition, some special methods are used in the pickling process to ensure its taste.

This kind of steak comes from a very special variety of top ingredients specially prepared for upper class people. Its price is not cheap.

Even if the beef is well cooked, it will not feel dry or unable to bite.

At this time, the fat between muscle fibers has become translucent. Even if it has not been imported, you can imagine the special mellow and delicious butter.

He dipped a little sauce and put it into the import. The feeling of instant melting made Lynch nod with satisfaction.

The real one is different from some people in the world who pursue it, not in terms of ingredients and techniques, but in terms of cooking heat.

Steak, or beef, is graded. There are many grades, from the grade that is not suitable for human consumption to the beef that will not appear in the store.

If the beef is divided into ten grades, the beef for feed is grade 1, and Lynch eats grade 10, then most ordinary families eat about grade 3 to grade 4 beef.

The second level is the kind of ground beef, which is often used to beat into meat fillings and make meat pies.

Whether a person is rich or poor, he will have the desire to pursue enjoyment, and the pursuit of food is one of them.

Now, in order for ordinary consumers to enjoy the taste of high-grade beef, some restaurants begin to fry the steak half cooked instead of completely cooked as in the past.

This can ensure that the low-grade beef can be easily cut and eaten when it is sent to the guests, and the taste of the high-grade steak.

This is a wrong method, it should not be born, but... Ordinary people don't feel much about it.

When ordinary families make steak at home, whether fried or roasted, it is fully cooked.

Only when they enjoy the steak in the restaurant, they will use the undercooked one, which will give them the illusion that the steak they enjoy is very high-grade.

This approach can indeed bring new sales trends to restaurants, but it will also have some unexpected effects.

But... Whatever it is, the world is like this. There will always be some unexpected changes.

Lynch swallowed the beef in his mouth and a small piece of sour cucumber. The beef is too tender and a little fat. To be honest, it's a little boring. It's very suitable to eat sour cucumber at this time.

"Delicious!" Lynch commented.

Mr. PATU kept a slight smile on his face. "I like this kind of beef very much. I bought a ranch for it. If you like, I can have someone send you some regularly."

Lynch didn't refuse. At the level of both of them, sending food materials regularly is not even a "small favor". It's just an attitude.

Seeing that Lynch had no objection, Mr. PATU took up his towel, wiped his hand and lit a cigarette. "Do you know Mr. wickcliff?"

Lynch also put down his knife and fork. He took a sip of the wine and shook his head. "Sorry, I haven't heard of this man. What does he do?"

"One..." Mr. PATU thought for a moment about what words to use to describe this person better, about a few seconds, "... Crazy speculator!"

"He does everything, as long as the rate of return is big enough..."

Later, in Mr. PATU's introduction, Lynch gradually learned a little about Mr. wickcliff, who was more like a rogue speculator.

His persistence in wealth and return makes him quite famous in a certain circle. What is famous is not how accurate his investment is, or how considerable return his investment creates, but his way of doing things.

"He likes to annoy others, and then pass on his losses to others. It's good that the business he focuses on makes money. If he loses money, it often makes things very troublesome."

Mr. PATU shook his head slightly. "He did it when Charlie and his sister's private island was burned up."

"He is searching the world for the whereabouts of the Charlie brothers and sisters..."

Lynch generally understood what Mr. PATU meant. "Do you think he would trouble me?"

Mr. PATU nodded his head carefully. "I don't think he will trouble you."

"I heard that he found a lot of relationships this time, borrowed a lot of money and cash, and was ready to make a big profit. As a result, it all fell into his hands."

"He has gone to the trouble of Charlie's brother and sister. I think it's difficult for him to recover the loss. Some people say he lost nearly 300 million, of which only about one tenth is his own, and the rest is from other places."

"He is now dragging the pressure of the capital side and trying to get the money together. Before the whereabouts of the Charlie brothers and sisters are exposed, the people who can make up for his losses are very limited."

Mr PATU's meaning has been very obvious. Now there may be only a few people who want to collect a lot of cash in a short time, and Lynch is one of them.

There is no "secret" in the Federation. It may not be long before Lynch's role in the whole thing will be revealed.

At that time, he could easily be regarded as the culprit of his loss by Mr. wickcliff. He was a rogue tycoon and he was not a capitalist in the traditional sense.

He linked terror with capital, forming a new form of "terrorist capital", or "violent capital".

In order to recover the loss, he will certainly find a way to trouble Lynch. Mr. PATU has a good relationship with Lynch now. He feels it necessary to remind him.

Lynch smiled. "He'd better not have such an idea."

This little "reminder" ended. Then Mr. PATU took a deep breath, "how's Anna recently? I haven't seen her for a while. I heard she's very busy."

Lynch nodded. "I give her all the things of tomorrow's light. It can be said to be a kind of exercise for her. Of course, I can also be lazy secretly."

Mr. PATU nodded, "I've learned about tomorrow's light investment company. Your investment company is different from other investment companies. It already has the prototype of a consortium, but it's not exactly the same as us..."

Traditional consortia, or traditional investment companies, are like a magnet. How much capital they have is equal to how much attraction they have.

Finally, its purpose is to control more companies and form a close monopoly group. In this traditional group, each subsidiary is a part of it.

It will not be easily divided when it is necessary.

But Lynch's investment company is different. No subsidiary is inseparable to it. As long as it has sufficient interests, it can invest in subsidiaries, promote the listing of subsidiaries, and then sell subsidiaries.

Or directly split and package.

In short, as long as it can make money, it will do it. It looks... Not as stable as traditional investment companies.

Once it holds the shares of a company, it will always hold them. No matter how it operates, it will not easily abandon these subsidiaries as long as there is no huge trouble that will affect the parent company.

These subsidiaries are like roots, firmly grasp the soil, block the invasion of the enemy, and then try their best to provide nutrients for the upper companies. This is the composition of the traditional consortium.

In fact, the traditional consortia still prefer the real industry, which is also to strengthen the monopoly or control of the industry.

Subsidiaries can form a complementary relationship with the parent company or other subsidiaries in business, so as to form an ecosystem.

For example, consortia like xingmengdie are mainly engaged in the operation and development of mineral resources, so they have their own smelters, their own transportation system and their own rough processing plants.

This has formed an industrial ecological chain, creating upstream and downstream industries around some core industries, which is more inclined to production.

Lynch's investment company is different. It is more inclined to the operation of capital and pure financial operation. It seems that it doesn't have such a heavy precipitation, but it actually gets rid of the heaviest burden.

For example, with the development and progress of society and economic recovery, workers' wages will become an increasingly heavy cost for enterprises in the future.

There are also R & D costs of innovative enterprises, which will be heavy expenses.

Today's light of tomorrow does not have more contact with these enterprises. When enterprises cannot provide benefits for the light of tomorrow, they will be ruthlessly abandoned.

There is not so much warmth in the world of capital, which must be a trend of future development.

This is not to say that the industry is not good enough. On the contrary, if we can have excellent and stable industry as the basis, it is very necessary and valuable for a large group company.

In the final analysis, the core of capital is to pursue more profits. Lynch will completely separate industry and capital. The advantage of this is that if necessary, tomorrow light investment company can be used as an "intermediary" to connect these companies together.

If there is no need or some accidents happen, both tomorrow light investment company and the subsidiaries invested by it can quickly cut off the relationship between them.

It is more changeable, more flexible and more indifferent!

When people talk about the consortium chaired by Mr. PATU, they may think of many affiliated enterprises related to the group company.

But when people talk about Lynch and his investment company, the only one who is impressed is this company!
