"Father, is everything going well?"

Simon, who had just returned home, welcomed the inquiry of his second son. Mr. Simon has two sons. One is the son born to him and his legal wife in his own country, and it is also his eldest son.

In this era, people always call some businessmen who like to travel abroad as "speculators with adventurous spirit", and even some businessmen call themselves "descendants of adventurers". In fact, only they know.

Except for a few people who want to make their career to a higher peak, most "wandering" businessmen do not intend to go out.

The world is not safe enough and the traffic is not convenient. This is not the era when most corners of the world can be reached in a day or two. It is still quite backward.

If it is not necessary, no one is willing to risk a huge risk to leave a very familiar environment and fight with their life in a strange environment.

But they can't stop doing that because they are all losers, including Mr. Simon.

He is also such a loser. He used to run a processing factory, but he closed down due to poor management. After bankruptcy, he went out with his little family wealth.

It was because it was full of danger that his wife and children stayed in the country and only he left alone.

Until now, he has worked outside for more than 20 years, traveled through many countries, and finally got a chance in nagariel.

In order to better integrate into the local society, he married a local woman as his wife and was lucky to have a son. Setting up a local family made him well accepted by the local people and provided some help for his career.

His former wife and children also knew these things. Although they sometimes complained, they were indifferent most of the time.

The long separation time is a problem. Secondly, their lives completely depend on Mr. Simon's remittance to them every month. Even if they think Mr. Simon has gone too far, they won't say it.

His local wife and children in nagary also know that he has another wife, and they have no opinion. This is the case in local culture. It is normal for capable men to take care of more girls and have more excellent offspring.

As we all know, except for a few contacts, there is basically no contact with each other at ordinary times.

Mr. Simon glanced and stood by the door to meet his son. His face didn't get any better. He handed his briefcase to the second son without answering anything. After changing his shoes, he went directly into the study.

The second son followed. After entering the study, Mr. Simon shook his head, "you don't need to know these things. How's your study?"

His second son's cheeks moved, smiled and slightly lowered his head, "my teacher told me that I should be able to go to the National University of nagary!", and his tone was a little proud.

Nagary National University is the No. 1 University in nagary. Many children of the ruling class in this country study here. In order to give these children the best education, many teachers here come from abroad.

Local people, including the ruling class, are very contradictory, especially on the issue of education, while being vigilant against foreign affairs and envious of some things abroad.

Foreign teachers will certainly be better than domestic teachers... Well, this really makes sense, so it also gives national universities a lofty position in people's minds.

Mr. Simon's second son studies well and works hard. In addition, his family is very rich. Teachers will treat him more patiently than others. Sometimes they will open a small stove for them. His study is much better than other students.

Over the years, he has always wanted to prove his excellence to Mr. Simon through some things. Because of his father's expectations for his studies, he has been studying hard and seriously.

Because his father's tone was a little bad when talking about those fat people. Although he was also fat, he maintained a healthy body shape.

He doesn't fall in love early, doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, and even religion has little influence on him. He just wants to prove that he is his father's best child, that's all.

But unfortunately, sometimes even if some people have worked hard, it is difficult to change anything, because efforts can not overcome prejudice.

Mr. Simon frowned. "The National University is only a third rate school in my eyes. If you can be so happy to go to a third rate University, your future will be limited to this!"

He paused and said impatiently, "well, go and do your business. I'm going to work!"

His second son put his briefcase on the table with a strong smile, then bowed down and left the room.

In fact, Simon has always paid attention to the efforts of the second son, but this is a "bastard", which seems to attack him, but it also accurately explains some problems. He is a hybrid, a bastard.

No matter how hard the second son tried, he could not change the fact that his birth and existence was a manifestation and sincerity of Mr. Simon in order to cater to the local forces in nagary.

He is not a natural product, not the crystallization of love, but a tool, so even if he tries hard, he can't change these things. From the beginning, Mr. Simon didn't really regard him as his own son.

His skin is darker than Mr. Simon's eldest son, and his facial features are different. His body when he speaks, his

When a person denies another person from the root, even a trivial thing will be put very big and disgusted.

The door closed slowly, and the bent second son clenched his fist. The moment he looked up, some negative emotions on his face turned into a smile. He would continue to work hard. He believed that one day, the father would face him squarely.

In the door, Mr. Simon didn't know how his second son's heart changed. He didn't care about it. What he cared about was Lynch's attitude.

Lynch's attitude gives him a headache. To be honest, once Lynch and the governor reach an agreement, it means that he is not only not as simple as doing business, but also may encounter some problems.

International businessmen are not as easy to deceive as the locals in nagariel. The locals have never seen anything in the world, and the content of the contract is very loose.

In some international trade, the delivery time is often accurate to minutes. If it exceeds one minute, you can claim according to the contract. Lynch cuts off the source of his goods. He has lost a profit. He has to face the claim.

He can't wait to die.

He picked up the phone and dialed Mr. Preston's number. Nagariel already had a communication network, but there was no transnational line.

The phone was soon connected. Mr. Preston's magnetic voice soon sounded in the receiver. He asked a question just asked by Mr. Simon's second son, "is the communication with Lynch smooth?"

From Mr. Preston's point of view, there is nothing smooth or not. Lynch doesn't have much way to go, so his tone is very relaxed.

"Sorry, Mr. Preston, Mr. Lynch said he would think about it..." Mr. Simon wiped the sweat on his forehead, narrowed his eyes slightly, and added a sentence with quite subjective color, "he seems to care very little about our proposal."

"Don't care?", Mr. Preston's tone changed. Just when Mr. Simon thought it was a good thing, he was disappointed after all.

Mr. Preston smiled at this time and said, "this is an interesting young man. You know, he is only 21 years old. You can't communicate with him in our way. We're not in the same 'frequency'."

"But don't worry, Simon. Young people don't want to abide by the rules and like to challenge authority. That's their characteristic. After he touches the wall several times, he will know how to choose."

"Feel free to contact me for any new progress..."

Mr. Preston is a busy man. He doesn't have time to spend half a day with an agent of some commodities in the province. He still has a lot to do.

Looking at the phone with no sound in his hand, Mr. Simon was stunned for a while before putting it back on the telephone rack. Perhaps Mr. Preston was right and the matter will be solved in the end.

Sitting behind his desk, Mr. Simon's mind was a little confused. He thought of the envy in their eyes when he talked with some friends when he returned home.

Thinking of the indifferent feelings between his eldest son and him, it seems that the child who looks like him when he was young will show some smiles only when he sees the check.

He thought of his private detective telling him that his wife in China seemed to have a lover, and he chose to ignore it.

He thought of the young wife here and the second son who was not like him and often made him feel impatient.

In his confusion, he didn't realize that he was asleep

From the second day when Lynch came back, every day some local businessmen came to lynch with their goods and showed him their things.

Mishahaye and Lynch's words not only shocked big business figures like Mr. Preston, but also let local businessmen see a "dawn".

Preton firm will set a standard purchase price every year, eat a large number of goods from local businessmen at a low price that they can barely afford, and then sell them around the world at a high price.

Even if local businessmen know that they buy low and sell high, there is nothing they can do. Whether Preton firm or other big businessmen, they are tacitly abiding by this pricing rule, which can make them earn more.

But this also makes local businessmen more uncomfortable. They can only watch these people sell their things several times or dozens of times at a helpless price.

Until now, they seem to see new hope!
