Chapter 373 Leader 2
Looking at the bustling city outside the porthole, Mr. Cheng couldn't help but sigh.
At this point in time in 2019, America’s imperial hegemony has flourished for forty years. As the most developed economy on the blue planet, although it is showing signs of weakness in some areas, it is still a An awe-inspiring behemoth - no one dares to be the first to challenge its majesty, well, only temporarily.
California is the largest state in the United States in terms of economic size. If it were considered an independent country, its GDP would rank fifth in the world. Coincidentally, it also has five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council.
San Lo is not the state capital of California, but it is the most prosperous city in California. Many legendary companies were born here. As a city that has long been ranked second and third in the world (the economic scale is two hundred (Beijing), the prosperity of Saint-Loto is unquestionable.
It is precisely because San Luodu is too prosperous that it is destined not to be controlled by anyone.
Divided by race, whites, Mexicans, Japanese, Chinese, blacks, Koreans, Vietnamese, um, and Indians, the races here are even more complex than in New York.
In terms of the interests of industrial capital, it is even more difficult to calculate clearly among media giants, aerospace giants, and Internet giants. Each of them is willing to find political agents to maintain their economic power.
Even civil servants working in the American government system have divided into different interest groups after their number reaches a certain level.
As far as the customs system in Saint-Loduo is concerned, there are three departments, to be precise, three 'factions'. Among them, Bill Jonathan, the chairman of the Shipping Association, has a grudge against Gru. Lu Ze represents the LAPD.
That's why Niu Sen scoffed at Mi'er's condition.
You want Saint-Loduo?
Don’t even look at your level!
Does it match?
The California Gang, which started out in San Francisco as its core, still can't take down San Luodu. You two young men, oh, even if you add a bunch of families like the party establishment, you can't take it down.
This is Niu Sen's idea, but for Mr. Cheng, no matter how difficult things are, he always has to do it.
Setting a high goal may seem out of reach, but the road is always approaching.
"Chan, have you seen that building? That's Old Crusoe's property. That building alone is worth a billion dollars."
The black Bell 429 is very fast Quick, he flew over the core area of San Luodu in a few minutes. Gru pointed at the tall buildings below and said to Mr. Cheng.
“Is Xizhou Logistics’ office in San Luodu big enough?”
As Gru's big boss, Mr. Cheng didn't pay much attention to these details. He only thought of this issue now.
“Originally it was not enough, but due to economic problems, the office building that Xizhou rented in San Luodu had a lot of cancellations, so we got some vacant offices at a low price. Now the new headquarters has There are more than two hundred people in the office.
The number of people has increased four times compared to before, but the company’s management has basically stayed. Well, some of them originally wanted to leave, but no one dares to leave now. ”
"Hahaha, you did it very simply. I told you before that the work of such a large company seems complicated, but in fact, you have been a police sergeant of the LAPD, so you are still qualified to manage a commercial company. ”
For people like Gru who have reached relatively high positions in the public sector, it is not difficult to switch careers to management in the business world.
"Gru, I know you have some thoughts about my arrangement, including your desire to go to the National Guard, but you have to trust me more. Temporarily arranging you into a commercial company is actually a kind of protection. , Of course, you can also help me a little bit."
This is a bit heartbreaking, Gru responded awkwardly.
"Uh, I know, Chan, especially regarding Riker's design, Jax and I have no idea of these things, it's just..."
"But it doesn't matter."
< br>Cheng Daqi smiled and said, today can be regarded as an open-hearted conversation between Mr. Cheng and Gru.
"Chan, I understand that Niu Sen will bow to us on certain things, but why would he cooperate with you so much?
BEC's interests are great, but he got involved with you, you Should I be more careful?"
Cheng Daqi realized that Chief Gru was worried that he had been deceived by that old man Niu Sen.
"Can you see the benefits of Niu Sen's cooperation with us?"
The black policeman regretted that he had said too much just now.
Let you say more!
It’s okay now, I’m about to be fooled again.
He felt a little helpless, pretending to be confused, and asked.
"Is it really about money? It's our money, no, your money!"
This is the end of the conversation.
Gru, Gru, he himself didn’t expect that he would be where he is today.
Cheng Daqi sadly discovered that he seemed to have become the kind of big devil in anime.
Who asked him to sit down with two guardians? Eris is the gang boss, and Gru is the first black policeman on the West Coast to slap in the face. With these unlucky subordinates, Mr. Cheng wants to believe that he is an undercover agent. All difficult.
You said you were an undercover agent, but the leader of the largest local law enforcement agency in the United States acted like a Shabby in front of you.
Is there anyone like you who works as an undercover agent?
"Judging from the results, Niu Sen chose us without a doubt. Yes, even if he secretly asked Gwell to negotiate terms with you, this is just a matter of details. On the whole, he personally prefers to have some tacit understanding with us. The conditions for cooperation may never be put on paper, but we people have reached the point where it is all conspiracy.” Infinite passive.
In modern society, power comes from responsibility. If you want power to last for a long time, you must respect the law that with greater power comes greater responsibility.
Americans know this. In the earlier Hollywood work "Spider-Man", Peter Parker received this kind of education.
But when it comes to many specific matters, the American elites have shown a kind of evasion of responsibility.
It can only be said that this is the case at the end of the empire. Even if some people want to cheer up and do something, how can those who are accustomed to evading return what they have escaped?
"I noticed you said a word, Chan. Did you say 'individual'?"
Chief Inspector Gru was still somewhat competent and understood Cheng Daqi's words.
“Yes, Niu Sen is the core figure of the California Gang, but we cannot simply regard his interests as consistent with those of the California Gang, including between the California Gang and the Donkey Party, and also between the California Gang and the Donkey Party. In this state, they seem to be closely related, but once something specific is involved, there are more twists and turns.”
“For example, if the Elephant Party can take over San Luodu, then many companies in San Luodu will have to pay the California Gang. You know, these companies now spend more money near Capitol Hill or Garcetti. These people."
"If I were to dismantle Niu Sen's decision-making mechanism, I think he would consider seven factors."
"First, we have to shoot when the arrow is on the string. He just won a big one, and the inertia of this victory forced him to make an early decision. This is a psychological disadvantage."
"Second, the idea of freemasonry you have is too brilliant. Oh, Gru, you are a born bad guy. Any of his decisions about us will be affected by this."
"Third, it's the money I gave. BEC's interests are only money, but. I gave him too much, and this clear benefit tempted him to cooperate with us.”
"Fourth, he lost to us, and if we appear too mediocre, his defeat will be obvious. Sometimes making the enemy appear stronger can hide one's own defeat." "Fifth, on the future politics of Saint-Loto Benefits, here is the most ingenious point of my design. Before you, the California Gang's influence on San Luodu was lackluster.
The disastrous consequences of the Red Street Kidnapping were given. Garcetti was under a lot of pressure, so he had to hand over the decision-making power of LAPD sergeant to Niu Sen, so you were promoted. What’s your expression? Don’t tell me you didn’t see this before?”
To be honest, Mr. Cheng was a little tired of being stupid, so he pinched his nose and continued to explain.
“After the California incident ended, the California gang, which had suffered a lot, lost control of the LAPD. You were forced to leave, and Lake took over. All this seemed to be a victory for Garcetti, and this and The interests of the California Gang are not consistent with those of Niu Sen.”
"The Donkey Party has always had fierce internal fighting. Well, Wolfe probably feels the same way. In short, the tacit understanding between Niu Sen and I is to squeeze out Garcetti, and the California Elephant Party and the California Gang eat San Luodu together. This kind of cooperation The price paid under the conditions is to be paid in the future.
In other words, Niu Sen and I jointly took out a loan, and the repayer was Garcetti, so I said it was the most ingenious link. "< br>
"Sixth, as far as Niu Sen is concerned, if he cooperates with us, I mean me, Mier, Achilles, Wolf, etc., and with young people like us, he will be more successful on the political stage in the future. Have a longer political life - opponents are very important
As long as we have not withdrawn, and Niu Sen has not withdrawn, he has a certain irreplaceability. This is a kind of inertia, and this inertia can be maintained. His political life.
Okay, this reason sounds a bit nonsense, but you have to understand that when your opponent is strong enough and you have enough expectations, you will never quit. "
Gru couldn't understand Mr. Cheng's judgment. In fact, the representative figure of this kind was Denzi.
"Seventh, if Niu Sen wants to go further in the future, he will have to deal with too many things. The California Gang is already strong enough. The old witch Nancy has controlled the House of Representatives for so many years. There will be people who hope that the California Gang will have another leader.
Guess, in the future, when he runs for office despite pressure from both inside and outside the party, we can just happen to be able to let some of the Elephant Party votes quietly flow to Niu Sen. Will he kneel down and kiss my shoes?”
Lil was silent, Gru’s entourage was silent, Gru was silent.
They have seen how different people can be from each other.
The top black policeman murmured in a slightly confused voice.
"So are there really born leaders?"
"What?"
Cheng Daqi didn't hear what this guy was playing.
"I mean, with this kind of plan or strategy, you can actually think of seven reasons for his decision-making, Chan, do you smart people think like this?"
The black policeman asked.
“Yes or no, our cooperation with Niu Sen is a far more necessary thing than you think. If we cannot reach a certain tacit understanding with him, many things in the future will be very troublesome. , very, very many.
Considering different reasons and factors is also part of my plan for things not going smoothly.
If I can't reach a tacit understanding with Niu Sen in a short time, then I will. We will also use other methods to tell him the reasons that can promote him to make decisions that are beneficial to us, but at present, this plan has not been used.”
In my heart, I actually did it from the beginning. Be prepared for not being able to reach a tacit understanding with Niu Sen. Just like what he said, even without some tacit understanding, the road ahead will be difficult at best.
But in terms of specific actions, Mr. Cheng still made very thorough plans. For example, he helped Niu Sen think of so many reasons in advance in order to push Niu Sen away when things didn't go well.
However, Niu Sen was much smarter than Mr. Cheng thought. When they met for the first time, they made a superficial recognition of reaching a tacit understanding after a simple exchange.
For superficial approval, you must know that Gru's reminder just now was very sincere - a veteran like Niu Sen can only believe three points of everything, which is still too much.
However, Cheng Daqi is not too worried that Niu Sen will make too many mistakes. The reason is back to the logic: after a person reaches a certain height, he will be trapped in conspiracy in everything he does. Within the scope, the most specific forms of conspiracy will change in various ways, but the execution of its actions is really limited.
"Chan, now I understand why you are not worried about the $8 billion debt."
Gru couldn't imagine what this wise man would be trapped in.
“Ha, when did I stop worrying? You may have misunderstood me, Gru, if I really don’t worry, then where are we going now?
Is it going to Are you picking up coconuts on the beach?”
Noting the change in Lille’s expression, Mr. Cheng explained in a dumbfounded way.
"Lille, don't worry, I won't go bankrupt. I can't afford eight billion, but I can pay for a hundred years with your salary."
"Chan, I don't mean that. I mean, as long as I take care of the food, my salary can be reduced to four, five thousand dollars."
Four thousand dollars is the salary set by Eris, and Mr. Cheng gave Lille settled on 10,000 knives.
This guy is also a talent, Cheng Daqi even felt humiliated.
Lil, ah, Lir, you seem to look down on me a little too much!
"Okay, Lille, you have done well during this period, and your basic salary will be doubled in the future!"
Gru's entourage was a little envious, but he looked at his boss and found that Gru seemed to be thinking, so he didn't dare to say anything more.
Well, my current income is pretty good and I can’t spend it all anymore, so I might as well forget about the salary increase.
"Chan, you just mentioned something, and I have some doubts - you and Niu Sen divide the city of San Luo. How can you do this?
You know, the city council here is almost the same. It is the most complicated city council in the United States. Their average campaign investment even exceeds that of some state representatives. When Crusoe entered politics, he only ran for city council. "
Cheng Daqi pointed. Outside the window, he said with a smile.
"Do you think this city is beautiful?"
"Well, it's too far in the sky to see the garbage on the roadside, so it looks pretty from this point of view."
Chief Inspector Gru is She didn't give Sheng Luo any face at all and answered very frankly.
“Yes, Saint-Lo is a beautiful city, and it can even be regarded as one of the best cities in human civilization. More people should be able to feel the civilization and progress here, what do you think?”
“You mean?”
Gru didn't quite understand what Cheng Daqi meant.
“In 2019, we will try to transport 100,000 people to come in and let them experience the civilized world of America.”
Cheng Daqi’s smile was so bright.
America, aren’t you the beacon of the world?
You can’t just let your light shine on Americans, the lighthouse of the world must of course light up people all over the world!
hhhh I don’t owe any more updates. I’d better not ask for leave. Try not to owe more updates
