America started its counterattack from the bum

Chapter 343 Beyond the benefits, there is a pyramid of power
Deconstructing from the perspective of heroic history, every era has its own protagonist, which has little to do with whether the era is good or bad.

Limited resources, stagnant development, intense conflicts, all these distractions are insignificant to some people.

If there were observers in this world, Rocket Horse would undoubtedly be the most favored child.

He is the best example of the American dream in the 21st century. Rocket Horse was born in South Africa, lost his father at a young age, and his family had no power. However, during the Internet boom at the end of the last century, he successfully sold the company he participated in starting and achieved financial freedom early.

Later, he built rockets, cars, and even bought one of the world's largest social media. Rocket Horse's experience is so legendary, and his personality is so topical.

It can be said that every American knows his name - from this point of view, the probability of him becoming the president is higher than that of achieving great things.

Once upon a time, Rockets often mocked that man for overestimating his own abilities before he came on stage.

But when that man came to power, he dared to attack his predecessor Lucian. When reporters asked him what he thought of Rocket Horse, the man replied without hesitation: "Smart."

Even the President of the United States doesn't dare to criticize him easily. This is the value of Rocket Ma's influence.

It was precisely because he was so famous that the small interest group built by Mr. Cheng decided to take advantage of him.

Rocket Horse is certainly smart. He is the most famous son of the times in America. He understood as soon as Accountant Jia entered the studio that he was being set up today.

Yes, the California gang certainly won't give him face. His company has already moved out of California (California's taxes are too high). Gwill has no objection to Cheng Daiqi riding on Rocket Horse's popularity to expand the influence of the cryptocurrency platform.

This time, General Cheng proposed the plan, Ge Weir was responsible for its implementation, and Accountant Jia was responsible for taking the lead. The core of the plan was to do marketing around Rocket Horse.

Of course, Accountant Jia's Faraday Future took advantage of the marketing opportunity, and Gwill acquiesced - the leading actors have to be paid, right?
But Gwill's tacit consent does not mean that he will give much additional support. Gwill will not pay a penny of the 300 million dollars. Accountant Jia has money, but that was in the past.

Lao Jia was already sweating profusely, but Rocket Horse was laughing freely.

Do you dare to take the 300 million dollar bet?
Either you bow your head and be a clown now, or you will be a clown when you lose and can't afford to pay in the future - Musk never believes that Accountant Jia can win.

“Hahaha, Elon, you.”

Looking at the silent Accountant Jia, Trevor realized that it was his turn to act. He couldn't let this matter get stuck here. After all, he had to give face to the California Gang.

"Shut up, unless you plan on betting with me too!"

Musk interrupted Trevor Noah's nonsense. At this moment, Trevor Noah discovered that the smile of this top billionaire looked sinister.

"Ha, aren't we talking about new energy vehicles? How about we continue to talk about car manufacturing? Netizens are very curious about when Tesla will be able to build a car that can fly in space."

Musk didn't answer. He picked up the cup and took a sip of water, as if he didn't hear what Trevor Noah said. He just continued to look at Accountant Jia who was sweating profusely.

Now that things have come to this, the so-called turnaround actually doesn’t make much sense.

"Musk proposed a 300 million bet, and his opponents dared not say a word" could make the headlines.

"A 300 million dollar gambling game, can the big liar afford this money?" can make the headlines.

"Teresa Trevor Noah left with tears after being scolded by Musk" can make the headlines.

Each one of them can make headlines, but Musk doesn’t care. He has always paid great attention to marketing, so just treat it as an advertisement.

You know, this guy is a tough guy who has made an appointment with Zack to have a boxing fight with him - offline boxing, the kind that hits the flesh with every punch.

Unfortunately, Xiao Zha knew that he was not in good health, so he did not really go.

It doesn’t matter whether you go or not. What matters is that it becomes a hot topic. In the information age, everyone’s attention is scattered. Musk likes to take advantage of hot topics in public opinion, and he understands this very well.

So this time, he thought he had already won, and he didn't believe that Accountant Jia really had the courage to take on the 300 million dollar bet.

"Three hundred million dollars is indeed a bit much, Elon. You have given me a difficult problem."

It's not a good idea to just keep silent and act like a silent poppy, so Accountant Jia, who is sweating profusely, chooses to delay it for a while.

Things took a turn for the worse, and Accountant Jia was expecting Cheng Daiqi to give him an instruction through the studio staff so that he could continue acting.

After all, he is no longer the prominent head of LeTV, and Accountant Jia is just an actor now.

"Problem? Didn't you say your car could beat Tesla, Jia? Were you just bragging?"

Musk smiled happily, he loved this kind of crushing situation very much.

No matter who is behind you, no matter what conspiracies you have, I dare to set a bet of 300 million dollars. Do you dare to accept it?
Looking at Musk who couldn't help laughing, Cheng Daiqi shook his head. He felt that Lao Jia was too timid.

"Chan, what should we do now?" Mi'er was really worried. Now that things had come to this, today's performance was a complete failure.

"Lao Jia will agree to the bet, but he may need to hesitate for a while. I think he will think it through."

After the initial shock, Mr. Cheng has calmed down and is very composed.

"Why do you trust him so much? And that's three hundred million dollars!"

Faced with Jax's questions, Mr. Cheng showed the same patience as he did with Shabi, and he explained in detail.

"On tonight's show, Lao Jia's main purpose was to take advantage of Musk's popularity. Musk saw that this was a conspiracy designed around him, so he chose to overturn the table.

But he chose a response that could be described as a double-edged sword. The $100 million bet might not be that much of a topic, but the $300 million bet could keep Lao Jia hot for the next two years.

Because of the anticipation or curiosity about the bet, people will pay attention to his participation in the ICO of BEC coin, and people will pay attention to his Faraday Future. This kind of topic and publicity effect is worth at least $100 million in advertising fees. "

"That's still a loss of 200 million, right?"

Jax asked an extremely silly question. Honey looked at him with disdain and said nothing. She also hated stupidity.

President Cheng just smiled and shook his head, with no intention of continuing to explain.

Jax was ignored and was stunned for a moment, then he slapped his thigh in regret.

As Gru's confidant and one of President Cheng's former tools, he knew who Lao Jia was. This guy had defaulted on hundreds of billions of debts, and now he still owed him a bet?

Sure enough, after a few seconds of silence, in the solemn atmosphere of the studio, Lao Jia finally spoke.

"Elon, I'll take the $300 million bet, but you are not allowed to trip me up in secret!"

"Hahahaha!"

Cheng Daiqi laughed at the cunning Accountant Jia. Accountant Jia reacted very quickly under pressure. As soon as he took the bet, he started to set up a disclaimer clause for himself.

'But you are not allowed to trip me up in secret!'

How powerful and reasonable it is! From the very beginning, Lao Jia has left ample room for wrangling over possible debt defaults in the future.

It is impossible to spend even a penny, but the popularity must be maximized.

As for whether the argument will be ugly or not, haha, Cheng Daiqi doesn’t care, and Lao Jia doesn’t care even more - he is already a big liar.

Putting aside other things, did Miss Dong ask Mr. Lei for the 10 billion?
(This is particularly interesting. The two agreed on a five-year period, but Xiaomi’s revenue only exceeded the target in the sixth year. Lei Zi even called out to Dong before the sixth-year financial report came out, asking if he wanted to extend the bet for another year - but he still didn’t pay.)

"Tripping me up? You think too highly of yourself, Jia. You guys are trying so hard to think of yourself as a big deal, but for me, what happened today can be forgotten with a glass of wine."

Musk has no intention of making trouble. In his opinion, with Accountant Jia being such a pushy person, his Faraday Future will not be able to go into mass production even if he is given five years, let alone two years!

"Oh, have a drink and forget it, you mean you don't dare to gamble?"

"On How Disgusting Accountant Jia Is"

Trevor Noah is convinced now, otherwise how could he have defrauded hundreds of billions? President Jia is too aggressive!

Faced with Accountant Jia's unreasonable demands, Musk raised his eyebrows and no longer showed any mercy, and spoke directly.

“The three hundred million dollars is the advertising fee you lent me, Jia. I expect some competitors to emerge in the field of new energy vehicles, but I find it ridiculous that you are making trouble today.

I accept the bet. If I lose, I will give you $300 million. But if you lose, ha, I suggest you start preparing cash now. "

Seeing that the tension between the two could no longer be suppressed, Trevor Noah's eyes turned and he chose to speed up.

"Elon, today is the first time you and Jia have met. It's normal to have some arguments. I think we can talk about something lighter."

Musk is a super celebrity in the United States. Trevor Noah understands Musk's character and knows that his turnaround at this time will definitely have a counterproductive effect.

Musk won't listen to bullshit like "it's New Year's Day" and "you're still kids".

It’s right that you won’t listen. What Trevor Noah wants is for Musk to respond to her words with rebellion!

He is not afraid of offending Musk. What's wrong with being a super rich person? They are not on the same track. Trevor Noah is more concerned about how much publicity The Daily Show can gain from this big topic.

"Oh, fine then. Anyway, it was Jia who proposed the bet. I can take it, but it depends on Jia."

He was so smart. Musk smiled and paved a step for Accountant Jia, a step that he would never be able to raise his head again after he stepped down.

Jia, do you dare to play?

Now that you've taken this step, your attempt to ride on my popularity tonight will be completely thwarted!
Trying to ride on my popularity?

I let you be a stepping stone for me!
It's the kind of stepping stone that can be crushed with one step!

President Cheng lit a cigarette and silently watched Accountant Jia under the live camera.

He was very confident that Lao Jia would make the right choice.

"Elon, I'm so touched."

Lao Jia only said two sentences in his reply, and Musk moved to Bengbu.

Are you moved by your horse?

Accountant Jia ignored Musk's murderous look and performed in front of the live camera.

“For the first time in America, I felt an inexplicable warmth. In the past, I looked down on Tesla, but of course, I still respected Elon.

But Elon made me feel warm today. I want to build a car, but I'm quite short of funds. He just gave me 300 million dollars. He gave me 300 million dollars selflessly, generously, and without asking for anything in return.

I am so touched, Elon, you will be my best friend from now on."

As he spoke, Accountant Jia reached out and held Musk's arm.

Do you understand? I’m going to slap you in the face!
Either don't do it, or do it thoroughly! I, Accountant Jia, have become a tool and can never go back to the past, but, Mr. Musk, I have also stood on the top of the mountain like you!
-
In front of the TV, Cheng Daiqi turned on the mute button. He thought he didn't need to listen to the rest of the content - President Cheng was very satisfied with Accountant Jia's performance tonight.

"Jax, does Sheriff Gru have any new imaginative ideas?"

What does that person want to do?

There were no outsiders here, and Mr. Cheng roughly knew why Jax came, but he still wanted to confirm it.

“Chan, you know that we have been targeted by Foberle recently, but the problem is that we may have been abandoned by Niu Sen.

Achilles saw us as a breakthrough point to attack the California Gang, but Niu Sen didn't seem to care. Gru and I didn't know what to do. "

Jax is very honest, so honest that it might even be called weird.

After seeing Accountant Jia's courage, Jax, a corrupt police officer, finally understood the gap between them and President Cheng.

Mr. Cheng’s tools want to develop cryptocurrencies and new energy vehicles, and then directly pull Musk to get some attention.

But he and his boss Gru gradually found themselves in a dead end in just a few weeks after they parted ways with Cheng Daiqi.

On one side is Mr. Cheng's admirable methods and enviable life, and on the other side is a group of corrupt police officers who are gradually reaching the end of their rope and can only threaten to fight to the death.

Jax no longer had the guts to play smart.

Jax revealed his cards, Cheng Daiqi and Mier looked at each other and asked.

"Tell me more about it."

"Niu Sen invited us. The boss noticed something was wrong. We want to know if what Achilles said is true.

And, Chan, what is your relationship with Achilles?"

Jax's tone was heavy, and there was even a pleading look in his eyes. He never expected the situation to be so dangerous.

Fober, the President, the Senate, Niu Sen, the California Gang, it seems that most of the top forces in the United States have shifted their focus to them.

Faced with this turbulent wave, Gru and he could only seek help from Cheng Daiqi.

He expected Cheng to help them again, just like he helped them join the California Gang, but he knew that this expectation was delusion and that his question was offensive, so his eyes were full of pleading.

But after listening to Jax's question, Mier just sneered and got up and left.

Faced with Mier's attitude, Jax became even more desperate.

"Chan, we can agree to Achilles' request, but the boss and I are afraid of being abandoned again. You..."

This is the minimum requirement of the black police force - Gru's idea is that if Niu Sen doesn't protect him, he will be the knife for Achilles.

But the conditions offered by Achilles were too bad, so bad that he told Gru clearly: I give you a chance to be a pawn, but I can guarantee your survival.

Gru couldn't accept it, and neither could Jax, so when Jax confirmed that the situation was worse than the worst expected, he used this condition as a basis, hoping to use their relationship to get Achilles to give them a little more leniency.

This is also what Sheriff Gru thinks.

Niu Sen is unreliable, Achilles is unfamiliar, and Cheng is just an average person. Apart from being a little crazy, pretentious, and a bit deceitful, he has no other shortcomings.

Cheng Daiqi pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, looked up and asked.

"Have you always been so childish?"

Jax was dissatisfied, but he was more worried. He didn't know what he had said wrong.

"I don't quite understand what you mean."

"You asked me what the relationship between me, Mi'er and Achilles was, and then you wanted me to act as a bridge between you two. But Jax, the distance of the so-called relationship is not important, at least not in the current game.

You are very naive. Mi'er left because she was disgusted by your naivety. She might not be able to bear it.

Just now, Trevor Noah was making fun of the federal government shutdown on TV. The President chose to stand with Achilles in the face of the longest government shutdown in history. In the Senate, Wood has set a date for a hearing specifically on the Red Street kidnapping case.

It's naive of you to care about the distance of your relationship at a time like this, Jax."

Jax was silent, he didn't know what to say.

Yes, they are paying attention to these. Gru thinks he is a member of the California Gang. He thinks that a transgender person who marries a member of the California Gang is also a member of the California Gang. But does Niu Sen consider them his own people?

To be more realistic, does Niu Sen treat Gru as a human being?

In Niu Sen's eyes, America may be a place where everyone is equal. He believes that Mi'er is everyone and Achilles is also everyone, but correspondingly, people like Gru are probably not.

“Speaking of which, my relationship with you has always been bad, but has this affected our cooperation?

The identity business is still booming, and Gwell has no intention of giving up. As for the cryptocurrency platform, you just saw that the California gang is holding Musk in jail.

Niu Sen sold Gru, which actually meant he also sold Mi'er, but he didn't give up his business with us. You might think it's because of Mi'er's special status."

Cheng Daiqi is teaching Jax a lesson. Gru and Jax are not good people, but they have indeed helped Cheng Daiqi a lot. In this sense, they have a basis for cooperation.

"But the truth is different from what you think. Niu Sen did not change the status quo of our cooperation because he could see clearly how far this fire would burn. But did you see it clearly?"

Jax was struck by lightning.

Where will the limit of this fire be?

If what Achilles said is true and what President Cheng said is true, then based on the current situation, the Elephant Party will at most win California, and in this process, Achilles will not set the fire on his own sister Mi'er.

What Niu Sen saw was not Mi'er's identity, but the limit of the fire!
When the situation of the California Gang collapsed, Niu Sen and the California Gang would not leave the American political stage, and he would still cooperate with Mier.

This is not because of Mier's identity, but more because of interests.

At this moment, Jax finally realized the naivety of himself and Gru.

“I should have thought of it earlier, Chan, I should have thought of it earlier, you could have cooperated with us, this is the difference between us and you.

You, Niu Sen, Temir, Achilles, you don't care what Gru and I did or how we treated you, you don't care at all."

Cheng Daiqi pointed at Jax and shook his head.

"You still don't understand, Jax. Do you think we only care about profit?"

Jax didn't answer in a daze. He was still thinking, thinking about everything that had happened recently.

"say!"

Mr. Cheng said dissatisfiedly.

"Is not it?"

Jax asked dejectedly.

"Of course not. I have made it clear to Gru that only the combination of interests cannot bring together truly reliable partners. Your gang reform is still based on my ideas.

Interests are just the foundation. We, I mean people like Niu Sen and Achilles, and maybe me too. We are concerned about the overall situation.

The trouble is, the big picture is relative. For example, within San Lord’s big picture lies the LAPD’s big picture, and within the LAPD’s big picture lies your gang’s big picture.

Hidden in these complex connections is the pyramid of power, and the corresponding fact is that Niu Sen would have to accept Gru reluctantly.

But if you raise your perspective, above San Diego is California, and above California is the Donald Trump Party and the entire America.

Therefore, Niu Sen will watch Gru die. He will wait for a better opportunity to counterattack or defend. Maybe this opportunity will come when Gru dies.

So, if you only focus on those superficial things, you are doomed to reach a dead end. Without Achilles and me asking you to touch Foberle, you will also reach a dead end at some point in the future. "

Jax asked confused.

"If something happens to us, the lid on California will be lifted. Why would we use this as an opportunity?"

Cheng Daqi said quietly.

“The California Gang is not a monolithic entity. Normally, Sheriff Gru is a member of the California Gang, but now Niu Sen has decided to unilaterally expel him from the California Gang.

The Donald Trump Party is not a monolithic entity. Only when the situation in California becomes dangerous, those swing parties who were pulled over by Achilles may stand on the side of the California party under pressure.

For children, if they mess up, they will be criticized by their parents, but Niu Sen is not a child, and the California Gang is not a child either. When they mess up, not only can others not scold them, but they must also stand behind them. "

The question Mr. Cheng raised at the end is roughly equivalent to who can supervise Sha Ruijin. It is extremely humorous and extremely realistic.

The reality was so great that it made Jax's head spin.

"What about us?"

Jax asked, eyes wide.

"Right now, Niu Sen thinks he won't lose, Achilles also thinks he won't lose, and even that man thinks he won't lose, but one side of this game has to lose."

Cheng Daiqi didn't kill anyone, but he broke Jax's heart.

What is the most desperate thing in this world?
I can see the terrible future clearly, but I can do nothing about it!
Jax, who was stabbed, was stunned for a long time. Cheng Daiqi stood in front of the French window, silently waiting for Jax's words.

"Chan, it was you who first suggested killing Foberle. Even though Gru did something inappropriate later, at least we didn't plan to kill Foberle at that time... Please, help us this time."

Jax was talking nonsense that he didn't even believe in, expecting Cheng Daiqi to give him a positive answer.

His tone was so sad and his attitude was so humble.

He knew that threats were useless to Cheng Daqi. He knew that the case of killing the agent was ultimately decided by Gru - they even planted a mine in the process, specifically to blow up Cheng Daqi, just to get more bargaining chips in the game with President Cheng.

But Jax could not see any other way. The hook that Cheng Zong had just left in his words reminded him and drove the desperate beast towards the trap set by Cheng Zong.

"Ha, Jax, your idea is just as bold as Mr. Gru's."

Where Jax couldn't see, Cheng Daiqi curled his lips as he looked out the window.
