Chapter 434 Loyalty?
"The possibility of inheriting the largest political faction in the United States? What do you mean?"
Cheng Daqi said with a carefree smile.
"Wolfe wants to get married, and I have chosen the second daughter of the commander-in-chief as his partner. What do you think of this move?"
The rich black-haired woman made her choice. Mei, this move is not just good, but everything has two sides. Mi'er immediately realized the key to the problem.
"It stinks! Chan, he is gay and cannot inherit the MAGA faction. Those red necks will not have a good impression of gay people!"
Niu Sen, Wolfe and Mi'er all pay attention to this point. arrive.
But Mr. Cheng’s opinion is completely opposite to theirs.
There is a philosophy in the world that is, believe first, then see.
Many things do not have so many insurmountable obstacles. Subjective fear of difficulties often increases the estimate of objective difficulties. This is not a good mentality.
"Times are changing, Honey. Wolf is only in his early thirties this year. When he truly steps into the spotlight of power, these issues will not be an obstacle.
The agenda of the two parties is Things are changing. During the last election, our respected leader did not ignore the support of the LGBT community. He even raised a rainbow flag.
Besides, who can prove that Wolf is GAY? It can be said that the commander-in-chief is secretly gay, will anyone believe it?"
Cheng Daqi hesitated for a moment, but considering his relationship with Mi'er, he didn't care.
“Finally, there is another reason that cannot be told to outsiders. Mi’er, you should understand people like Wolfe, who has political ambitions.
For now, if we comply with his ambitions and provide support, we can get his help, which is worthwhile.
As for whether or not the promise should be fulfilled in the end, and how far it should be achieved, it is a very complicated matter.
Don’t let difficulties that are too far away affect your current pace. "
Regarding Mr. Cheng's explanation, Temir was very calm.
"Every choice has a price, and short-term interests and long-term interests may be contrary to each other.
Besides, gossiping is playing with fire. We don’t have to play with fire, Chan. "
"Playing with fire? Ha, Mier, just now I personally told the two civil servants that the private prison project will be operated as a non-profit under the name of New Times.
Of course Benny described the prospect of private prison projects to them. Why didn't they question my obvious mistake?
Because the benefits are limited, they are eager for opportunities!
Yes, the United States has enough money, and a steady stream of knives will be produced as soon as the Federal Reserve's money printing press is started.
But the pursuit of personal interests in people's hearts is never-ending, and unlimited greed will bring about never-ending competition.
I wasn’t afraid of competing with others for profit in the past, I’m not afraid now, and I won’t be afraid in the future! ”
Chengdu won the victory of Cowenwood, the largest state in the United States with overwhelming power; the super-rich Wolf Wolf, who was powerful enough to challenge his position, also won by Chengdu.
If Mr. Cheng can't convince Mi'er when she questions, then he might as well go back to his hometown and grow sweet potatoes!
But despite Mr. Cheng's harsh words, Mi'er has no reaction at all! , just sitting there lazily, looking straight at him as if looking at 'Shabi'
Seeing this, Cheng Daqi stood up. He did not wave his arms - that was too deliberate, but showed some potential resistance to pressure by pacing.
“I plan to finish the BEC matter first. As soon as the California Gang takes action, we will first clean up this longest front.
Get Lao Jia out. Let the market value of BEC soar to tens of billions again, realize the interest commitments of Niu Sen, and thus promote him to help us deal with Garcetti in San Luodu. Of course, it can also push forward the progress of the private prison project. "< br>
After saying this, Cheng Daqi looked at Mi'er.
The rich black-haired woman Wei Bucha nodded slightly and said.
"I've seen you wear this outfit several times. Do you like their style?"
Huh?
Mr. Cheng is a little confused.
“Didn’t you hear what I said?”
Tmir blinked, her beautiful lake-blue eyes filled with smiles, the girl teased.
"I heard, I support your decision - we can afford to lose anyway, so you like their style?"
Now, it's Mr. Cheng's turn to be the clown.
He shook his head and sighed.
"I have been in contact with people like Niu Sen and Wolfe a lot recently, and I was influenced by them and regarded you as a trouble that needs to be 'solved'. Ha, Mi'er, I was stupid."
The rich black-haired woman stretched out two fingers and tapped herself, pretending to be surprised and continued to tease her.
"hoeny, how are you going to solve this problem of mine?"
Unlike Wolfe and Niu Sen, what she wants is never huge benefits, her greed is limited to the success itself.
Love is a vague feeling that cannot be confirmed. Looking at his own honey, Mr. Cheng felt the tangible love.
“Isn’t Xinshi doing very well recently?”
The tigress is most terrifying when she smiles, Mr. Cheng said hesitantly.
"Hmph, Lisa's wings are stronger than mine now. You two can almost defeat me by joining forces. Is this good?"
The rich black-haired woman is pressing closer and has no intention of letting Mr. Cheng go.
She is the chairman of Xinshi. She has two specific responsibilities: handling shareholders and operating OC. As for accusing Lisa and Mr. Cheng of neglecting her, it is purely emotional output.
We are all close partners with shared interests. At most, Lisa is more independent than before. How can we kick her away and do it alone?
"You are more concerned about OC matters. Lisa naturally has to share more of the group-level work. Mi'er, do you have any ideas?"
When the benefits are too great, you cannot be too subjective and ignore your partners' demands.
Respect first, and we can discuss how to do it later.
As for whether Mr. Cheng is sincere?
This kind of question is too idealistic. In fact, Mr. Cheng owes Mi'er too much.
“I want to buy a bank, what do you think?”
Themir made a request that Mr. Cheng didn't expect. Mr. Cheng was stunned for a moment and replied.
“Which bank? How much capital is needed for the acquisition?”
“Royal Caribbean Bank has net assets of around $7 billion and its shares are relatively concentrated.
The key point is, Its major shareholder family is facing a complicated inheritance distribution situation and needs to cash out, which is estimated to cost about 2 billion.
It has branches in three cities on the West Coast, as well as in other parts of the United States. There are six branches and more than 40 branches in Mexico and Central America, which is quite large.”
Royal Bank of the Caribbean sounds like an online gambling site reskinning itself.
However, Mr. Cheng understands that the name is not important, the important thing is the size of the bank.
“What about the debt situation of the net assets of 7 billion U.S. dollars?”
“From their statements, the liabilities are more than 110 billion U.S. dollars, which is slightly high, but it is still normal. ”
Cheng Daqi thought for a while and gave his own opinion. "We have a need to acquire some platform-type central institutions, but now is not a good time. The new era has not stabilized yet. Let's wait a little longer.
My Shanhaiguan is rushing to be listed, the car manufacturing project has just started, OC's left-wing tendency has just begun, MAS is also in a period of rapid expansion, and Xizhou's debt problem is still under great pressure.
Waiting for next year, or the year after that, when these businesses and companies are straightened out, it will be very easy to acquire a bank with several billions, and the available targets will be more generous.
When the time comes, we will buy a big one. ”
It is now 2019. Buying a bank now is equivalent to joining the country or the military in 1949.
Moreover, Mr. Cheng does not think it is a wise decision to spend large sums of money to acquire certain targets whose balance sheets are questionable.
Let the big wave rush over first, kill a batch of problematic ones, and then acquire them. This is the best strategy.
The rich black-haired woman nodded slightly. Buying a bank is not like asking the roadside vendor Wolf to support her. Such a major decision requires a careful process.
"Chan, although I trust you very much, you just mentioned OC's left-leaning marketing concept changes in publicity.
Can you tell me the truth? That is, at that time you Just think of today?”
Mi'er's big eyes were full of curiosity. She really wanted to know the answer to this question.
But Mr. Cheng is such a bastard. Mi'er watched him mess around with a bunch of smart people, so she was worried that Mr. Cheng would fool her.
Brother, can you tell me the truth?
This is not too much to ask, please.
At this moment, Mr. Cheng even felt like crying.
Sister-in-law, you don’t trust me so much!
“You actually know the situation in the United States better than I do, Mi’er. From the perspective of industrial development and future opportunities, the projects that we entrepreneurs can participate in are actually very limited.
I started out by making short videos. This was an opportunity in a new industry, and there were not many such new industries. Therefore, I later focused on cryptocurrency and founded LCE and BEC, and..."
" Does this have anything to do with my problem?" Mi'er asked speechlessly.
"It does matter. When the new tycoons develop to a certain extent, they will inevitably need to participate in the American political agenda. Politics is the continuation of the economy.
Among the political factions in the United States, you come from a wealthy family of the Elephant Party and have enough resources in the Elephant Party. So should we contact the Donkey Party?
This is not because I predict things, but this is how it should be. As for the current complicated situation, it can only be said to be a coincidence. "
Mr. Cheng's explanation was clear and coherent, and Mi'er's response made him even more helpless.
"Is it true, I don't believe it?
Also, Niu Sen has been driven like that by you, do we still need to let OC hold a biased stance? ”
Prejudice, definitely prejudice!
Mr. Zhou Mu and I are obviously mutually beneficial friends, so what’s the motivation?
“Yes, topicality means exposure, and free traffic still costs money.”
——
Burns was once again summoned to him by Lake. .
This time, the LAPD sergeant's attitude towards him changed drastically.
Facing this close subordinate, Sheriff Lake smiled.
"The immigration case will be handled as you wish, Burns. It's just that the BEC matter needs to be settled--give that person bail."
Huh?
Burns almost lived in Bengbu.
Brother, what do you mean, it’s useless for me to mention you as a pawn against Jax?
He finally understood why Lake was so angry. Is this just disposable?
“Don’t think too much. The BEC matter is more complicated than you think. Mayor Garcetti doesn’t want to get too involved. If we solve it as soon as possible, we will be under less pressure and free up more Focus on dealing with internal troubles.”
The police chief is naturally more senior than the police inspector, and Lake understands Burns’ concerns.
Lake poured Burns a cup of coffee, walked to the sofa in the meeting area, and motioned for Burns to sit down.
Burns breathed a sigh of relief, sat down, and said.
"Yes, Mr. Sheriff, the immigration case."
Lake listened carefully to Burns' report on the latest case, and finally nodded.
“I support your idea, don’t have any worries. After communicating with Mayor Garcetti this time, he agreed that I would bring some reliable personnel from the state police to the LAPD. There are no procedural issues. There will be trouble.
It will be much easier to deal with those left behind by Gru in the future, and I look forward to you continuing to make greater contributions to the fair and transparent reform of the LAPD."
Only then did Burns understand why Lake's attitude changed drastically today. This was because he had received real support from Garcetti.
Lake is an LAPD sergeant transferred from the California State Police. He is an airborne leader. Even with the support of Garcetti, he was still walking on thin ice because Gru's people were too fierce.
Burns brought up an immigration case. Lake was so shocked and angry that he almost slapped Burns in both sinuses.
Now that the situation has changed, Lake naturally has to appease his previous extreme attitude, including the flattery and support just now, which are all a kind of appeasement.
Burns had more than that on his mind.
Personnel is politics.
Since then, Lake has gained more 'independence' under Garcetti.
Former Sheriff Gru almost turned the LAPD into a private kingdom. Garcetti finally sent Gru away, and his control over Lake became much stricter.
Darkly, Lake is obviously going to be under pressure as the BEC case ends in an anticlimax. Garcetti's loosening of the leash can also be seen as 'appeasing' Lake.
Garcetti gave Lake dog food, Lake gave Burns a cake, politics is like this, everyone has a bright future.
"Mr. Lake, thank you for your support and affirmation, I."
Burns raised his chest and raised his head, expressing his loyalty with a strong and firm stance.
Yilin said that America has its own national conditions here.
Facts in the United States say that even Hawking has to stand up and toast when he comes.
——
For some, loyalty is a bargaining chip.
But for others, loyalty is part of the reward itself.
From a utilitarian perspective, the former seems to be 'smarter', but the latter is often the mainstream force that shapes history.
Interests can buy the loyalty of a small number of people, but the support of the people is the greatest force for change.
Huth belongs to neither the former nor the latter.
He is a bureaucrat.
No matter how great the benefit is, it will never gain his eternal loyalty, and no matter how lofty the belief is, it will not influence his cold and cruel heart.
Bureaucrats are a special group. They rely on organizations to exist and are only responsible for their own positions - either upwards, downwards, or to their sponsors. In short, they are only responsible for their own positions.
"Gru, this is my first time meeting you. I didn't expect you to give me a difficult problem."
In a bar in San Luodu, I came all the way from Washington for an appointment. Hu Te put down his wine glass and stared at Gru with a condescending look.
Just like Gru looked at Will, the deputy director of Ferbole is implementing his power.
