eldest son. 刚回到家里的西蒙就迎来他次子的询问,西蒙先生有两个儿子,一个是他和他在自己国家的合法妻子生的儿子,也是他的长子。 People in this time are always called as the merchant who likes the overseas going to the wanderer are „have the opportunist of venture spirit”, even some merchants said that is „the descendant of adventurer”, actually only then they were clear. 在这个时代中人们总是把一些喜欢到国外去闯荡的商人称作是“有冒险精神的投机分子”,甚至有些商人自称是“冒险家的后代”,其实只有他们自己清楚。 Besides small number of people to let on own an enterprise peak, majority outside „vagrant” the merchant, is not intentional to want the going out wanderer. 除了少数人是为了让自己的事业更上一个高峰之外,大多数在外“流浪”的商人,并不是出于本意要出外闯荡的。 This world insufficient security, the transportation is inconvenient, this is not that 1-2 days of time can arrive in the world the time of most corners, here also suitable backwardness. 这个世界还不够安全,交通也不便利,这不是那个1-2时间可以抵达世界上绝大多数角落的时代,这里还相当的落后。 If not need, no one is willing to take the big risk to leave a they incomparably familiar environment, went to one to be full in the strange environment to use the life to strive for success. 如果没有必要,没有人愿意冒着巨大的风险离开一个他们无比熟悉的环境,去一个充满了陌生的环境里用命去拼搏。 But they have no alternative but to do, because they are the losers, including Mr. Simon is also. 但他们不能不那么做,因为他们都是失败者,包括西蒙先生也是。 He is also such a loser, he was operating a processing factory before, because goes out of business poor management, he after bankruptcy brings to remain many family properties to arrive at outside wanderer. 他也是这样一个失败者,他之前经营着一家加工厂,但因为经营不善倒闭,破产后的他带着所剩不多的家底到外面闯荡。 Because this was full of the danger, therefore his wife and children stayed in the home, only then he himself leaves alone. 正是因为这充满了危险,所以他的妻子和孩子都留在了国内,只有他自己独自离开。 Until now, he struggled for 20 years outside, passed through many countries, finally had the opportunity in Nagat Leir. 直到现在,他在外面奋斗了二十来年的时间,走过了很多的国家,最终在纳加利尔获得了机会。 For better fits into the local society, he married a local woman to be the wife, and very lucky had a son, forms the local family made him very good by the native is accepted, provided some boosts for his enterprise. 为了更好的融入本地的社会,他娶了一个本地女人做妻子,并且很幸运的生了一个儿子,组建本地家庭让他很好的被本地人接受,也为他的事业提供了一些助力。 His original wife and child also know these things, although sometimes some complaints, but most of the time is aloof. 他原来的妻子和孩子也知道这些事情,虽然有时候会有些怨言,不过大多数时候还是无动于衷的。 The time of distinction is too long is an issue, the next their life completely depend upon Mr. Simon to remit money to them every month, even if they thought that Mr. Simon will do that excessive, will not say very much. 分别的时间太长是一个问题,其次他们的生活完全依靠西蒙先生每个月给他们汇款,就算他们觉得西蒙先生这么做很过分,也不会说出出来。 He in the Nagat Leir local wife and child also knows that he has the wife, they have no opinion, the local culture is this, the able man wants to take care of several girls, gives birth to several outstanding descendant this is very normal idea. 他在纳加利尔本地的妻子和孩子也都知道他另有妻子,他们更没有什么意见,本地文化就是这样,有能力的男人想要多照顾几个女孩,多生育几个优秀的后代这是很正常的想法。 Everyone knows each other, besides having several contacts, communication that usually basically has no. 大家都知道彼此,除了有几次的接触外,平时基本上没有任何的来往。 Mr. Simon shot a look at one to stand in the gate greets oneself son, the complexion has no obvious improvement, he gave the second son the briefcase conveniently, has not replied anything, after changing the shoes, entered in the study room directly. 西蒙先生瞥了一眼站在门边迎接自己的儿子,脸色没有什么明显的好转,他随手把公文包交给了次子,也没有回答什么,换了鞋后直接走进了书房里。 The second son follows, after waiting for the study room, Mr. Simon shakes the head, „these things you do not need to know, your studies how?” 次子紧随其后,等进了书房之后,西蒙先生才摇了摇头,“这些事情你不需要知道,你的学业如何了？” His second son cheek moves, smiles slightly is lowering the head, „my teacher told me, I should be able on Nagat Leir National University!”, In his tone brings proudly some. 他的次子腮帮子动了动,微笑着略低着头,“我的老师告诉我,我应该可以上纳加利尔国立大学！”,他的语气里带着一些骄傲。 Nagat Leir National University is the Nagat Leir university ranked the first, the children of many its ruling class study here, to let these children receives the best education, in this many teachers come from the overseas. 纳加利尔国立大学是纳加利尔排名第一的大学,很多本国的统治阶级的孩子都在这里求学,为了让这些孩子受到最好的教育,这里面的不少老师都是来自于国外。 The natives, included on the side of the ruling class the vigilant external business, side has to admire that some overseas things, is very contradictory, especially in educational problem. 本地人,包括了统治阶级一边警惕外来的事务,一边有艳羡国外的一些东西,很矛盾,特别是在教育问题上。 Teacher who the overseas come definitely compared with domestic teacher good......, good, this is very indeed reasonable, therefore this also makes the national university have the lofty position in people's mind. 国外来的老师就肯定会比国内的老师好……,好吧,这的确很有道理,所以这也让国立大学在人们心目中有着崇高的地位。 The second son studies of Mr. Simon are good, diligently, in addition his family is very very rich, the teachers will treat him also compared with treating the other person patience, sometimes will also give the private lesson to them, his learn/study will be much better than other schoolmates. 西蒙先生的次子学业不错,很努力,加上他的家庭很富有,老师们对待他也会比对待其他人更加的耐心,有时候还会给他们开小灶,他的学习比其他同学好得多。 These years he has wanted to come to Mr. Simon to prove oneself outstanding through something, because of his father's expectation to his studies, he continuously diligently earnest learn/study. 这些年来他一直想要通过一些事情来向西蒙先生证明自己的优秀,因为他父亲对他学业的期望,他一直在努力认真的学习。 Because his father's when mentioning these fat people tone is somewhat bad, although he himself is also a fatty, therefore he is maintaining the health build. 因为他的父亲在谈起那些胖子时语气有些不善,虽然他自己也是胖子,所以他保持着健康的体型。 His not puppy love, does not drink, does not smoke, even the religion is very small to his influence, he wants the certificate he is his father most outstanding child, that is all. 他不早恋,不喝酒,不抽烟,甚至宗教对他的影响都很小,他只是想要证明他是他父亲最优秀的孩子,仅此而已。 But was a pity very much, sometimes some people had tried hard even very much, is very difficult to change anything, because could not defeat the prejudice diligently. 但很可惜,有时候有些人即使已经很努力了,都很难改变什么,因为努力战胜不了偏见。 Mr. Simon knitting the brows head, „national university in my eyes is only a third-class school, if the previous third-class university can be happy, your future also was only restricted in this!” 西蒙先生皱了皱眉头,“国立大学在我的眼里只是一所三流学校,如果上一个三流大学都能如此高兴的话,你的前途也仅限于此了！” He was saying, some impatient saying, „ok, does your matter, I wanted the work!” 他说着顿了顿,有些不耐烦的说道,“好了,去做你的事情吧,我要办公了！” His second son forced a smile was placing on the table the briefcase, then after bending the waist bowed the farewell, left the room. 他的次子强笑着把公文包放在了桌子上,然后弯腰鞠躬告别后离开了房间。 Actually second son's effort has been watched by Simon, but this is one „bastard”, said probably to his own also some meanings of attack, but also very accurate explanation some issues, he is a person of mixed blood, a bastard. 其实次子的努力一直都被西蒙看在眼里,但这是一个“杂种”,这么说好像对他自己也有些攻击的意思,但也很精准的说明了一些问题,他是一个混血儿,一个杂种。 Regardless of the second son how is unable to change a fact diligently, his birth and existed is Mr. Simon to cater to the one performance of Nagat Leir local area influence, a sincerity. 无论次子多么努力都无法改变一个事实,他的出生和存在是西蒙先生为了迎合纳加利尔本地势力的一种表现,一种诚意。 He is not the natural product, is not the crystallization of love, but is a tool, therefore he how diligently, he is unable to change these things even again, from the beginning Mr. Simon has not been regarded as oneself son him truly. 他不是自然产物,不是爱情的结晶,不过是一种工具,所以即便他再怎么努力,他都无法改变这些东西,从一开始西蒙先生就没有把他真正的当做是自己的儿子。 His skin Mr. Simon, the eldest son of Mr. Simon wants black, his facial features are not quite same, when he spoke the body, his...... 他的皮肤比西蒙先生,比西蒙先生的长子要黑一点,他的五官也不太一样,他说话时的身体,他的…… When a person denied another person from the root place, even if were only the insignificant small matter, put was very big, and was loathed. 当一个人从根源处否定另外一个人的时候,哪怕只是微不足道的小事情,都会被放的很大,并且被厌恶。 Door closure slowly, the second son of bending the waist gripped the fist, raising the head certain negativities on that instantaneous face turned into the smile instantaneously, he will continue to try hard, he believes that one day, this father will face up to him. 房门缓缓的关闭,弯着腰的次子攥了攥拳头,抬头的那瞬间脸上的某些负面情绪瞬间变成了笑容,他会继续努力,他相信有一天,这个父亲会正视他。 In the door, Mr. Simon was not clear that own second son what kind of change at heart, he does not care about this, what he cares is the Lynch attitude. 房门内,西蒙先生并不清楚自己的次子又怎样的心里变化,他不关心这个,他关心的是林奇的态度。 The Lynch attitude makes him a little have a headache, once to be honest Lynch and province supervised the Sir to reach the agreement, this also means that he not only did not have the business to do was so simple, he might also probably meet troublesome some. 林奇的态度让他有点头疼,老实说一旦林奇和省督大人达成了协议,这也就意味着他不仅是没有生意做那么简单了,他还有可能要遇到一些麻烦。 The international merchant is not good to trick like Nagat Leir's native, the native has not seen any big world, the content of contract is very loose. 国际商人可不像纳加利尔的本地人那么好忽悠,本地人没有见过什么大世面,合约的内容很松散。 In some international trades, the time of delivery often arrives precisely minute, surpasses for

在一些国际贸易中,交付的时间往往精确到分钟,超出一分钟就可以按照合约进行索赔,林奇掐断他的商品来源,他损失了一笔利润不说,还要面对索赔。 He cannot sit waiting for death. 他不能坐以待毙。 He picked up the phone to dial the number of Mr. Retton, Nagat Leir has the communication network of beginning to take shape, but not transnational line. 他拿起电话拨通了普雷顿先生的号码,纳加利尔已经有了初具规模的通信网络,但并没有跨国的线路。 The telephone put through quickly, Mr. Retton is full of the magnetic sound to resound in the receiver quickly, he asked a Mr. Simon's second son had just asked issue, „and is the exchange of Lynch smooth?” 电话很快就接通了,普雷顿先生充满磁性的声音很快就在听筒中响起,他问了一个西蒙先生次子刚刚问过的问题,“和林奇的交流顺利吗？” Mr. Retton, actually does not have any to be smooth, Lynch too many roads cannot walk, therefore his tone is very relaxed. 在普雷顿先生来看,其实没有什么顺利不顺利的,林奇没有太多的路可以走,所以他的口气很轻松。 „Sorry, Mr. Retton, Mr. Lynch said that he must consider......”, Mr. Simon wiped the beads of sweat of frontal eminence, the eye narrowed the eyes slightly, is cruel-hearted, increases one to have the considerable subjective color words, „he as if did not care to our propositions very much.” “抱歉,普雷顿先生,林奇先生说他要考虑一下……”,西蒙先生擦了擦额角的汗珠,眼睛微微眯了一下,狠了狠心,添加了一句有相当主观色彩的话,“他似乎对我们的提议很不在乎。” „Doesn't care?”, The tone of Mr. Retton had some changes, when Mr. Simon felt this is a good deed, he was eventually disappointed. “不在乎？”,普雷顿先生的语气有了一些变化,就在西蒙先生觉得这是一个好事的时候,他终究还是失望了。 Mr. Retton smiled at this time unexpectedly, but also smiles to make noise, „this is interesting young people, you know that he is only 21 -year-old, you cannot and he communicate with the way that we communicate, we not in one ‚frequency’ on.” 普雷顿先生居然在这个时候笑了,还笑出了声,“这是一个有意思的年轻人,你知道吗,他才二十一岁,你不能用我们沟通的方式和他沟通,我们不在一个‘频率’上。” „You do not need to worry, Simon, the young people are not willing to obey the rule, likes challenging the authority, that is their characteristics, after he touched several walls, he knows how to choose.” “不过你不用担心,西蒙,年轻人不愿意遵守规则,喜欢挑战权威,那是他们的特性,等他碰了几次壁之后,他就知道如何选择了。” „Has any new progress to contact with me momentarily......” “有什么新的进展随时联系我……” Mr. Retton is a busy person, he may not have the agents of some time and province commodities pulls the morning time, he also has many things to do. 普雷顿先生是一个大忙人,他可没有时间和一个行省部分商品的代理人扯上半天的时间,他还有很多的事情要做。 Looked in the hand not to have the telephone of sound, Simon first to produce one to stay, returned it to the telephone frame on, right that perhaps Mr. Retton said that matter will be solved eventually. 看着手中已经没有了声音的电话,西蒙先生发了一会呆,才把它放回到电话架上,或许普雷顿先生说的对,事情终究会解决的。 Sits when the desk, Mr. Simon the brain was somewhat chaotic, he thinks sometimes returns to homeland and some friends chatted their envying envy in eye. 坐在书桌后,西蒙先生脑子有些乱了起来,他想到了有时候回国时和一些朋友们聊天时他们眼里的羡慕嫉妒。 Thought of his eldest son and between him the faint sentiment, as if only then sees the check long time when will look like he will be young the child of appearance to show some smile very much. 想到了他的长子和他之间淡漠的感情,似乎只有看见支票的时候那个长的很像他年轻时样子的孩子才会露出一些笑容。 He thinks his detective told

impatient second son. 他想到了这边年轻的妻子和那个不像他,也让他经常觉得不耐烦的次子。 Ignorant, he himself had not realized that he himself fell asleep...... 浑浑噩噩中,他自己都没有意识到他自己睡着了…… The second day of Lynch coming back, every day

普雷顿商行每年会指定一个标准收购价格,用本地商人们勉强能承受的价格低价从他们手中吃进大批货物,然后高价贩卖到世界各地去。 Even if the local merchant knows that they buy tall sells lowly, does not have the means that no matter other Retton firm big merchants, they in tacit obeys this pricing rule, this can make them gain are more. 即使本地商人知道他们低买高卖,也毫无办法,不管是普雷顿商行还是其他大商人,他们都在默契的遵守这种定价规则,这能让他们赚的更多。 But this also makes the local merchants more uncomfortable, they can only see that in these people's sells several times of dozens times of prices to have no alternative own things. 但这也让本地商人们更难受,他们只能眼看着这些人把自己手里的东西卖出几倍几十倍的价格却无可奈何。 Until now, they as if saw the new hope! 直到现在,他们似乎又看见了新的希望！
