Chapter 406: Strangulation 3 (I actually prefer to call this chapter 'The Turtle Grandson of Democracy')
Barat, who inherited the Kingdom of Northern Ireland and could not unite Little Britain, has a history as a human being. The largest 'democracy' in history, it has been promoting itself as the mother of democracy around the world.
Little Britain naturally became the son of democracy. As the United States became independent from the colony of Little Britain, it became the grandson of democracy by accident.
It sounds unseemly, but after all, it is a big country with a population of 300 million, and the United States is still very advanced in its institutional exploration in the field of democratic construction.
This kind of advancement is not an empty self-confidence, but is based on thousands of electoral activities at different levels across the United States every year.
Because there is objectively a huge election service market, electoral science in the United States has naturally become a prominent science.
In electoral science, there is a special index that has become a tacitly popular index in the midst of controversy - the Yiwu Index.
Every election year, yw, as China's largest small commodity wholesale market, will export a large amount of materials for both parties to the United States.
And this is the scientific nature of the yw index.
The exported materials will be redistributed by election organizers and service providers, or sold as souvenirs. The large export demand corresponds to the large number of American people who support a certain party.
Therefore, from this perspective, the accusation that a mysterious power interfered in the US election seems to have some truth - but not much.
In short, in the United States, there are many things similar to the yw index.
For example, Washington’s Pizza Index. During the Cold War, an unnameable power even sent full-time agents to track this data.
When some major events occur and senior officials in Washington work a lot of overtime, the flow of people in pizza restaurants and fast food restaurants located around the Pentagon or other American functional agencies will increase significantly.
And there is another data to support this pizza index, which is the number of people in some high-end bars in Washington during popular hours.
Once the two go off and on, it means there is a big problem in Washington or the world - although the United States is the grandson of democracy, it is still the world's policeman for the time being.
There are actually no major events in Washington recently. There are undercurrents surging around the world, but for the top leaders of the United States, this undercurrent is actually the norm.
So, several high-end bars in Washington are doing very well today.
Well, the main focus is a sense of relaxation, which is similar to the soldiers who suffer from "Middle East concussion" in the military bases stationed in the Middle East of the United States.
No matter how you turn the world upside down, as long as the news in the United States is not reported, you have nothing to do today, just drink in the bar.
In the Elvis Presley Bar in Washington, Mr. Benny, the vice president of New Times Group, was drinking with some of his friends.
Several people talked about the female secretary of a certain congressman on Capitol Hill who had a perky butt, and they were all betting on how many seconds that congressman could last.
Just when they were about to call the lady with the buttocks for confirmation, Benny noticed a familiar figure walking in his direction, and was about to walk in front of him.
Benny wanted to turn around and run away, but considering the occasion, he just picked up his glass and lowered his head, intending to pass by as if he was drinking.
He doesn’t like this person very much.
But Gwell just has a bad mind, not a bad eye.
“Ha, Benny, I didn’t expect you to be here!”
As a social little prince, Benny has a special ability to become a consultant to the president of a large company by virtue of his vast connections. , is to make friends.
Although he has never liked Gwell very much, it is obvious that Mr. Zhou Mu’s brother regards Benny as a friend.
"Ha, Will, it's nice to see you."
Benny put down his wine glass and introduced Gwell to several friends with a look of surprise on his face.
“This is Gwell, my good friend in California, a great person!”
It is impossible for him to emphasize to the other people on this occasion that this is a great person. Sen's younger brother, but it doesn't matter whether he emphasizes it or not. After all, Gwell is not an unknown person.
Being praised like this by Benny means that he is extraordinary. Anyone who is interested will understand Gwill's identity as long as he does a little research.
“I heard that you switched jobs from Disney. Where are you working now?”
Gwell was not polite and sat down in the booth where Benny was.
He has the qualifications to be crazy.
Yes, he was treated like a stick in front of Cheng Daqi, Themir, and Wolfe, but the younger brother of the state shepherd could be regarded as a Celestial Dragon in the United States due to his family connections.
What is the approximate level? Just like Loli Island, if Gwell wants to go, the organizers will probably rush to welcome him - this metaphor is very hellish, but the devils in America are indeed like this.
"New Times, working for Ms. Temir, the California Senate blocked our New Times bill. Will, your brother is too selfless."
Benny was still not exposed to some of the core things of the new era, so he said something outrageous.
Gwell would sound out of place.
"You know, I don't understand the bill, but if you want to pass the new application, um, who are these?"
Benny's smile was a little frozen. , but he quickly responded and started the conversation with a smile.
"They are all my friends. You can tell me what you want to do when you come to Washington this time. Maybe a few of us can help you.
The company is a company, and I just work for the company. It does not affect our friendship. ”
It sounds extremely generous, but in fact it is Benny who is selling resources to both parties. Being a middleman and introducing him is a kind of resource replacement. Otherwise, he would not have been promoted to the great weapon or Temir based on his connections. Under his command.
At this time, if Gwell really gets involved with one of the people here through Benny's introduction, then he can gain favor in both directions.
< br>The people who drank with him today are all people close to some key figures in Washington. They can be regarded as the top connections in the world at a regular level
The clients of these people. There is a need to monetize power, but this need cannot be sold on a public platform and can only be monetized through connections - this is why they sit with Benny.
Benny is from the West Coast and has been active in several places near California for a long time. He has business potential.
Even if the blending is not successful, Benny's introduction actually means a two-way display of strength.
But there is one point that must be explained here. His behavior is private work. As he said, a company is a company and an individual is an individual.
"It's nothing serious. Come and see my aunt. Well, you guys can drink. I have made an appointment with other people tonight."
Gwill is looking for someone from NTIA, and NTIA There are tons of Californians and he needs no introduction from anyone else to get it done.
So he said something vague, emphasized his strength, got up and left Benny's booth.
"Benny, is he Niu Sen's younger brother?"
Benny nodded and said.
“Yeah, the guy from California, ha, whatever he wants to do, he just needs to wipe his tears in front of his aunt.”
“So what is he here to do? Yes, is our Ms. Nancy planning something big again?”
This is how the gossip in Washington comes. These people close to the center of power can grasp certain key information in advance even faster than the commander-in-chief of the United States.
The scary thing is that this kind of speed is the norm.
To think of that man as a rubber stamp is going too far, but it’s not too much.
As long as Fan, if he can achieve something in other areas, he will not care about BEC's affairs!
Don’t believe it?
Think about it, during the four years that this man was on stage, did he accomplish anything that made a huge difference in America?
"I didn't know that. Come on, drink." Under the dim light, Benny's face was as decent as usual, but his eyes were full of solemnity.
He works as a consultant for Robert at Disney, and Robert himself is just a manager. Although he is already one of the important people in front of Semitic Wanderers, after all, he is just a part-time job emperor.
Now, Benny is serving Wolf, Temir, and Cheng Daqi.
His position is no longer a consultant to someone, but a new vice president.
If brought to the Ming Dynasty, he used to be the master of a certain chief official, and was just one of them, but now he has joined a certain prince's palace and became the deputy housekeeper.
Who doesn’t want to be promoted? Benny has so much alimony to pay for his ex-wife. If he can be promoted to senior vice president or even executive vice president, his financial pressure will be greatly relieved.
——
In a beautiful manor in Florida, the president was having a secret conversation with his second son.
The commander-in-chief had a romantic life, married multiple wives and gave birth to five children, but only the three children born to him by his eldest wife received special attention from him.
Eric happened to be the youngest son born to his first wife. Today, he called Eric to Mar-a-Lago again.
"How did you do as I told you last time?"
The leading student from T&T put down his cue and asked.
“I bought about 10 million BEC coins, and its daily trading volume has shrunk to about 50 million. Considering certain risks, I dare not buy too much.”
< br>
The leading student from Tatong was a very successful businessman. He nodded slightly, not knowing whether it was because he recognized his son's words or expressed admiration for his football skills.
“But father, the BEC currency did not continue to fall as you said. It seems that the founder’s arrest did not affect its value.”
Eric is right, but Datong’s lead will not survive. Worry.
“Don’t worry, the results will be found out. When the results come out, the BEC currency will fall hard, and then I will announce that I will reconsider the investigation results. I will inform you in advance when the time comes, and you can buy again. Long order.
Cryptocurrency is a good thing, but if it is a stock, we still have to worry about being discovered, hahahaha.”
Not to mention that he is a successful businessman, the commander-in-chief was convicting people of cybercriminals on the Internet social platform and talking about the court hearing, while at the same time he mobilized the NTIA, which he could control, to investigate.
But secretly, he instructed his second son to secretly trade BEC coins with inside information.
Even before the NTIA investigation yielded anything, he had already begun planning how to deal with the investigation results.
“Father, the size of BEC coin is still too small. It used to be tens of billions in size, but now there are only about two billion left. Why don’t we start with Bitcoin or Ethereum?
These two are the most popular currencies in cryptocurrency, and there are many people involved in trading. If I trade them, I can use leverage to buy hundreds of millions at a time. ”
"Bang!"
With a beautiful hit, the golf ball drew a wonderful arc in mid-air, and the leader of Datong cursed.
“Idiot, do you think I don’t want to?
But these two are too involved. Even if I send someone to investigate, it may not affect their value.
Besides, most of the dealers here are secretive. If you go in with leverage, if someone gets ripped off, Eric, we can't be too greedy
Money is a good thing, but we only need to earn money with controllable risks. Over the years, I have seen too many people who are richer than me go bankrupt.
Are they not smart?
No, they are too greedy! ”
Gwell: Lao Deng, who are you scolding?——
Although the rulers will try their best to deny it, through all the words and narratives, the underlying logic of power is ——Only by shutting up disobedient people can authority be implemented
It's just that this way of shutting up is not uniform, and the specific difference lies in how to kill.
Some people choose to kill, but some people think that simply killing has no economic value - they will make soap, and some of the most courageous people will choose not to kill. To be precise, they will kill the heart.
However, Gru does not have so many difficulties in choosing. He has always been a simple person.
I will kill whoever is in my way.
So he killed Tonks and cut off his own path.
But now, as a successful dog, Chief Gru doesn't have to worry about his own path. The only thing he needs to do well is to safeguard the interests of the group.
Of course, for personal development and future as well as safety considerations, he also has to run his own gang well. After all, he brought capital when he joined the gang.
Chengdaqi provides money and management skills, Temir provides political resources and money, and Wolfe provides political resources and money. They can become the core of this force, and Gru no.
Because he only has violence. In modern society, pure violence is not that useful.
However, this is his only reliance.
"We can't take it lightly, Jax, Chan's BEC is now under investigation by the General Manager, and they are confident that they can survive the difficulties.
But you think, if the General Manager finds out the problem, Crusoe and Wolf But we may not always stand with Cheng Daqi and Temir, and how will we deal with it then?"
Jax frowned, he was worried that Gru would be in danger again.
"Let's wait and see when the dust settles. Boss, we are not the same as before. No one will touch us. Even if Chan and the others are defeated this time, our status will not be affected."
When Gru was the police chief, he was in the light, but now he is hiding in the dark.
If you touch him, you won't get anything, and there are risks, so it is actually beneficial for Cheng Daqi to let Gru retreat like this.
"You are wrong. My idea is that we need to take the initiative to let Chan and Themir feel our support!"
Gru explained with a dumb smile.
He had done too much anti-bone boy before, and Jax had misunderstood his ideas.
“Now is a critical moment, but I think there is a high probability that Chan can easily overcome this crisis. He originally attracted many people to participate in LCE and BEC, but this news was due to the lack of supervision in the cryptocurrency field. The reason for the strictness is unclear to the commander.
There can be no problem with LCE and BEC is no longer good. He can create a new BEC. Anyway, it is just a deceptive fund.
What we have to do is let him feel our loyalty in this precarious moment, do you understand? "
Jax felt a little relieved and asked.
"What do you mean? "
Chief Gru put down his pipe and sighed meaningfully.
"Two waves of people sent by the commander-in-chief to check the accounts in Afghanistan died."
Jax's expression changed, and he understood that Gru wanted to touch the NTIA special investigation team!
Gru is like this, what kind of person can be a good person who can force Niu Sen to make a short video?
“But, boss, they didn’t ask us to do this. Will doing this escalate the situation?”
Seeing that Jax is so clear-headed, Chief Gru is satisfied. nod.
"Jax, you are right, but you overlooked some issues.
For example, would he give me this kind of order directly? This is giving someone a handle, and he has always been very cautious!
Look, he is staying in HK these days and not returning to the United States, just to wait for the matter to settle!
Besides, I didn’t ask you to kill someone, so you arranged for someone to do it.”
