0572 A Traitor Has Emerged Among Us [Additional Update for the Leader: Ruilong-2/2]

"Everyone's contract is almost up, so let's officially start the first board meeting of the United Development Company. First, we should all introduce ourselves so that others can get to know us, starting with me..."

The person who spoke sat in the chairman's seat. He looked to be in his sixties, with gray hair, but people here can't simply judge their age by appearance.

The vast majority of people here have a good living environment and a social network that ordinary people can hardly reach. Their pampered life allows them to avoid most factors that will make them age, so each of them looks younger than their actual age.

This old man looks about sixty years old. It is possible that his actual age is almost seventy or over seventy years old, but his physical skills are about sixty years old.

Although money cannot stop time on humans, it can slow down time to the maximum extent.

With the self-introduction of this gentleman, the most luxurious board of directors of the United Development Company was fully displayed in front of people.

If someone were to make a list like "The Top Ten Consortiums in the Federation" or "What are the most influential consortiums in the Federation", then some of the top ones would appear here today.

People have known these things for a long time. When they paid money to invest in the United Development Company, they saw the list of the board of directors, but when they really saw these people with their own eyes at this moment, they were still very excited.

Some people were so excited that their lips were trembling and their eyelids were jumping uncontrollably. People's awe of capital and money has been engraved into their bones by capitalists.

If the members of the presidium extended their hands to others at this time, I am afraid that many people would line up to shake hands with them and act humble.

A personal self-introduction also gave people a deeper and more three-dimensional impression of the board of directors of the United Development Company.

Soon it was Lynch's turn. He stood up and smiled at everyone, "Dear chairmen and directors, some of us are meeting for the first time, and some of us are already very familiar. I am Lynch, and I am very happy to meet you..."

It was a very ordinary self-introduction, without too many personal characteristics, but in such an occasion, what is needed is ordinary.

Being unique is very useful for ordinary people at the bottom of society. They are immersed in a gray world and find it difficult to break free. Only those unique things can brighten their eyes and make their gray world more colorful.

But for the top of society, which has long been colorful, being unique means not fitting in.

You can say some outrageous words, you can do some outrageous things, even ridiculous things, no one will condemn you, because people know that "we are the same kind of people."

But being unique is not okay, that will make people exclude themselves from "us". Lynch is very clear about this, so his self-introduction is very ordinary and there is nothing bright.

It took more than half an hour for everyone to introduce themselves. Some people may speak slower and have more to say. In short, after half an hour, the last shareholder sat down excitedly, and the old man in his sixties who spoke first spoke again.

The old man's name is "Jerno", you can call him "Mr. Jeruno", his last name is "Duncan", Jeruno Duncan, a name that sounds a bit strange and doesn't look like the name of a great person.

But its owner is indeed very different. The Duncan family belongs to a group of adventurers who immigrated to the Federation in the first batch. As long as they are the first batch of adventurers and there is no problem and they "die" halfway, they are doing well now, such as Mr. Patu's "Akinel Family".

The Duncan family is the same, but they are not as well-known among the people as others because they are very low-key.

They distributed the shares roughly fairly to each member of the tribe, and there are various foundations at home and abroad, which makes them seem to have nothing to show off, and they are well-known representative figures.

But in the upper-class circle, among the real top leaders, the Duncan family is the family that cannot be despised the most, and they are very good at investing.

There have been three federal presidents in their family, and they are the largest landowners in the Federation. They have close ties with the five major oil companies in the Federation and have a lot of shares in the five major oil companies.

Most of the companies related to mining also have the shadow of their family. In short, no one knows how rich they are except themselves.

But people know that Mr. Patu's Star Dream Butterfly Consortium, the consortium behind Mr. Wardrick, and even other large consortiums all have their people and their shares, which is why Mr. Geruno can speak on behalf of the board of directors.

Others are not qualified. Whether it is Mr. Wardrick, who is more familiar with Lynch, or Mr. Patu, who is already somewhat familiar, if they speak on behalf of other chairmen, some people will definitely be dissatisfied.

The Federation is not a country that emphasizes implicitness. If you do not advocate your own rights, others are even less likely to care about the interests of those who dare not even speak up to defend their own rights. There will definitely be some conflicts at that time, but if Mr. Geruno speaks, there will be no so many troubles.

"I have read the company's financial report for the last quarter of last year, and I have to say that we have done well...", Mr. Geruno said with a smile, "Everything is in our plan, and we have found new opportunities in Nagaril."

"New opportunities, new development, new future, but also new troubles." Mr. Geruno's speech speed is not very fast, as if people will slow down after reaching a certain age.

In fact, it is not that they can't speak fast or clearly, but they are afraid that others will not understand them if they speak too fast, so they will slow down.

It may be that they are worried that they are not expressing themselves clearly enough, but Lynch thinks that they are more worried that others can't keep up with their speed. He has also been old, and he knows this very well.

"Some of those natives are not very friendly to us. We have encountered this before we developed Nagaril. There are always some ignorant people who think that their way is the best. We can't blame them for anything, but they have affected our business."

"Because of the unrest and the march, the company lost a lot of money. This is also one of the main topics of our board of directors this time, how to treat these natives."

Lynch noticed that Mr. Geruno kept using the very derogatory word "natives" when talking about the Nagaril people. When he said these words, his tone was full of arrogance that was difficult to conceal, and there was also a kind of contempt.

In fact, most of the main members of the big families that have continued since the founding of the Federation have similar attitudes, just like Mr. Patu's attitude towards those natives is the same. He also wants to cleanse them. It is not friendly at all.

This attitude actually comes from their "family honor". Anyone familiar with the history of the Federation knows that the development of the Federation is based on the continuous slaughter of the natives of the Federation.

The larger the family was from that period, the more indigenous people they slaughtered. Now they don't publicize this to the outside world, but in the process of family education, it is inevitable that they will instill in their children what they think is the "glory of their ancestors".

It is said that some ancient...actually, there are only a few generations of families who even collect some special trophies, some of which are from the parts of those indigenous leaders with status, such as some creepy, dried thumbs, or some eyeballs soaked in jars.

Of course, these things are not mainstream. The mainstream is still the old photos, each with a mustache, a dignified appearance, wearing a hat symbolizing civilization, holding a civilized cane, and stepping on the bodies of indigenous people.

These people are the first generation of immigrants in the federation. At that time, slaughtering indigenous people was considered a glorious thing. These "glorious deeds" almost ran through the important stages of the growth of these large family members. They would naturally reveal the arrogance and contempt for the indigenous people.

Not only the natives of the Federation, but all the people they think are uncivilized are natives. These people in Nagaril obviously meet the characteristics of all natives.

Mr. Geruno's voice did not pause because of Lynch's lightning-fast thoughts. "Now there are two opinions within the board of directors. One is a relatively mild way, and the other is..." He glanced at those people who also had a deep family background, "...a little stricter, so that those natives know what the rules are."

"The United Development Company does not belong to a certain person, including everyone in our presidium, nor is it the owner of the company. This company belongs to everyone present, so we need to unify our opinions."

"I must tell you in advance that once we unify our opinions at the board meeting, then no one will be allowed to act against our collective will. We are a whole, and any divisive behavior should be strongly condemned!"

The atmosphere seemed to become heavy all of a sudden. On the surface, Mr. Geruno was saying something that seemed fair. In fact, everyone knew that only those in the presidium of the board of directors could really express their opinions and be accepted by people.

In other words, the opinions of ordinary people are not important, and they don't need to advocate any opinions. They just need to follow the opinions of the presidium!

It feels a bit hurtful, but there is nothing we can do. After all, our small arms and legs are not as good as those with thick arms and legs, so we can only cater to them.

Mr. Geruno looked at Mr. Patu and said, "Mr. Patu, I heard that you have some opinions on this topic?"
