America started its counterattack from the bum

Chapter 373 Leader 2
Looking at the bustling city outside the porthole, Mr. Cheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

As of 2019, America's imperial hegemony has flourished for forty years. As the most developed economy on the blue planet, although it has shown signs of fatigue in some areas, it is still an awe-inspiring behemoth - no one dares to be the first to challenge its majesty head-on. Well, it's only temporary.

California is the state with the largest economy in the United States. If it were regarded as an independent country, its GDP would rank fifth in the world. Coincidentally, there are also five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council.

San Lorenzo is not the 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 or third in the world (with an economic scale of two hundred thousand kilometres), San Lorenzo’s prosperity is unquestionable.

It is precisely because Saint-Lô is too prosperous that it is destined to be uncontrollable by anyone.

In terms of race, there are whites, Mexicans, Japanese, Chinese, blacks, Koreans, Vietnamese, and Indians. The race here is even more complicated than in New York.

Based on the division of interests of industrial capital, it is even more difficult to calculate the interests of media giants, aerospace giants, and Internet giants. Each of them is willing to find political agents to maintain their own economic power.

Even civil servants working in the American government system are divided into different interest groups when their number reaches a certain level.

Just in the customs system of San Lodo, ​​there are three departments, or to be more precise, three "factions". Among them, Bill Jonathan, the chairman of the Shipping Association, has a grudge against Gru, and Gru represents the LAPD.

That's why Niu Sen scoffed at the condition proposed by Mi'er.

You want Saint-Lord?
Don’t you even look at your own level!
Is it worthy?

The California Gang, which originated in San Francisco, couldn't take over San Roque. You two youngsters, oh, even if you add a bunch of families like the party establishment, it's impossible for you to take it over.

This is Niu Sen’s idea, but for Mr. Cheng, no matter how difficult the task is, he has to do it.

Setting a high goal may seem out of reach, but the road will always be reached if you keep walking.

"Chan, see that building? That's old Crusoe's property. That building alone is worth a billion dollars."

The black Bell 429 was traveling at a very high speed and it flew over the core area of ​​Saint-Lodu in just a few minutes. Gru pointed at the tall buildings below and said to Mr. Cheng.

“Is the Xizhou Logistics office in Sanlodu big enough?”

As Gru's boss, Mr. Cheng didn't pay much attention to these details, and he just thought of this problem now.

“It was not enough originally, but because of the economic problems, many tenants gave up their leases in the office building that Xizhou had rented in Saint-Lo, so we got some vacant offices at a low price. Now there are more than 200 people working in the new headquarters.

The number of employees has quadrupled, but the company's management has basically stayed. Some of them wanted to leave, but now no one dares to leave."

"Hahaha, you did a very good job. I told you before that the work of a big company may seem complicated, but in fact, you have been a police chief of the LAPD, so you are still competent to manage a commercial company."

For people like Gru who have reached relatively high positions in the public sector, it is actually not difficult to switch to management in the business world.

"Gru, I know you have your own ideas about my arrangement, including your desire to join the National Guard. I understand that, but you have to trust me more. Temporarily placing you in a commercial company is actually a form of protection. Of course, it can also help me a little."

This was a bit heartfelt, and Gru responded awkwardly.

"Well, I know, Chan, especially about Lake's design, Jax and I can't think of these things at all, but..."

"But it doesn't matter."

Cheng Daiqi smiled and said that today was the day when General Cheng and Gru had a heart-to-heart talk.

“Chan, I understand that Niu Sen will bow to us on certain matters, but why would he cooperate with you so much?

The benefits of BEC are huge, but since he is involved with you, shouldn’t you be more careful?”

Cheng Daiqi understood that Sheriff Gru was worried that he was being fooled by that old man Niu Sen.

"Can you see the benefit of Niu Sen cooperating with us?"

The black policeman felt a little regretful, regretting that he had just said something extra.

Let you say more!

Now you know what? You’re going to be ridiculed again.

He felt a little helpless and pretended to be confused as he asked.

"Is it really for money? That's our money, no, it's your money!"

That's the end of it.

Gru, ah Gru, he himself didn't expect that he would end up like this.

Cheng Daiqi sadly discovered that he seemed to have really become the big devil in the anime.

Who made him sit down with two bodyguards? Eris is the gang boss, and Gru is the corrupt policeman who was the first person to be slapped in the face on the West Coast. With these unlucky subordinates, it is difficult for Cheng to believe that he is an undercover.

You say you are undercover, but the leader of the largest local law enforcement agency in America acts like a fool in front of you.

Is there anyone who is undercover like you?
"From the results, Niu Sen has undoubtedly chosen us. Yes, even if he secretly asked Gwill to negotiate with you, this is just a matter of details. On the whole, he personally tends to have some tacit cooperation with us. The conditions of these cooperation may never be put on paper, but we have already reached the point where it is all overt conspiracy."

When you are in a high position, you can be more relaxed, but you will also be infinitely passive.

In modern society, power comes with responsibility. If you want power to last for a long time, you must respect the rule that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility.

Americans are well aware of this. In the earlier Hollywood film "Spider-Man", Peter Parker received this kind of education.

But when it comes to many specific things, America's elites have shown an evasion of responsibility.

All I can say is that this is what the end of the empire was like. Even if someone wanted to cheer up and do something, how could those who were used to escaping return what they had escaped?
"I noticed you said a word, Chan. Did you say 'personal'?"

Sheriff Gru was quite capable and understood what Cheng Daiqi said.

“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. This situation also exists between the California Gang and the Donkey Party.

They seem to be closely related, but once something concrete is involved, there are many twists and turns.”

"For example, if the Elephant Party can take over San Lorenzo, many businesses in San Lorenzo will have to pay the California government. You know, now these businesses spend more money near Capitol Hill or with people like Garcetti."

"If I were to analyze Niu Sen's decision-making mechanism, I think he would consider seven factors."

"First, the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. We had just won a big game, and the inertia of victory forced him to make a decision early. This was a psychological disadvantage."

"Second, your idea of ​​the Freemasons is too good, Gru. You are a born bad guy. Any decision he makes about us will be affected by this handle."

"Third, it's the money I gave. BEC's benefit is only money, but I gave too much. This clear benefit tempted him to cooperate with us."

"Fourth, he lost to us, and if we appear too mediocre, his failure will be very conspicuous. Sometimes making the enemy appear stronger can cover up one's own failure." "Fifth, regarding the future political interests of Sanlodu, this is the most ingenious point I designed. Before you, the California Gang's influence on Sanlodu was not good enough.

The disastrous consequences of the Red Street kidnapping case put a lot of pressure on Garcetti, so he had to give the decision-making power of the position of LAPD Chief of Police to Niu Sen, which led to your promotion. What's with that expression on your face? Don't tell me you didn't see this before? "

To be honest, Mr. Cheng was a little fed up with stupidity, he pinched his nose and continued to explain.

"After the California incident, the California Gang, which suffered a great loss, lost control of the LAPD. You were forced to leave, and Lake took over. All this seemed to be a victory for Garcetti, which was not in the interests of the California Gang and Niu Sen."

"The internal fighting among the Donkey Party has always been fierce. Well, Wolfe probably feels the same way. Anyway, the tacit understanding between Niu Sen and I is that we will squeeze out Garcetti, and the California Elephant Party and the California Gang will eat San Lodo together. The price paid for this cooperation condition will be paid in the future.

In other words, Niu Sen and I cooperated to make a loan, and the repayer was still Garcetti, so I said it was the most ingenious link. "

“Sixth, as for Niu Sen personally, if he cooperates with us, I mean me, Mier, Achilles, Wolf and other young people like us, he will have a longer political life in the future on the political stage - opponents are very important.

As long as we have not left the stage and Niu Sen has not left the stage, he will have a certain irreplaceability. This is a kind of inertia, and this inertia can sustain his political life.

Okay, this reason may sound a little ridiculous, but you have to understand that when your opponent is strong enough and you have enough expectations, you will never leave the field. "

Gru couldn't understand Mr. Cheng's judgment. In fact, the representative figure of this type was Dengzi.

“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. Old witch Nancy has controlled the House of Representatives for so many years. No one wants the California Gang to have another leader.

Guess what, when he runs for election in the future under pressure from both inside and outside the party, and we happen to let some of the Elephant Party votes quietly flow to Niu Sen, will he kneel down and kiss my shoes? "

Lier was silent, Gru's followers were silent, and Gru was silent.

They saw how big the gap can be between different people.

The top corrupt police officer murmured in a low voice with a hint of confusion.

“So are there really natural born leaders?”

"what?"

Cheng Daiqi didn't hear clearly what this guy was playing.

"I mean, this kind of plan or strategy, you can actually think of seven reasons for his decision, Chan, is this how all you smart people think?"

The black policeman asked.

“Yes and no. Our cooperation with Niu Sen is far more necessary than you think. If we cannot reach a certain understanding with him, many things in the future will be very, very, very troublesome.

Taking different reasons and factors into consideration is also part of my plan for when things don’t go well.

If I cannot reach a tacit understanding with Niu Sen in a short period of time, I will use other methods to tell him the reasons that can help him make a decision that is beneficial to us. However, at present, this plan has not been used. "

In his heart, Mr. Cheng had actually prepared himself from the beginning for the possibility of not being able to reach a tacit understanding with Niu Sen. Just as he said, even without some tacit understanding, the road ahead would at most be a little more difficult.

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, just to give Niu Sen a push when things didn't go well.

However, Niu Sen was much smarter than Cheng thought. When they met for the first time, he showed superficial recognition of the tacit understanding after a brief exchange.

It was just a superficial recognition. You have to know that Gru's reminder just now was very sincere - for an old man like Niu Sen, you can only believe three-tenths of what he says, and this is still too much.

However, Cheng Daiqi was not too worried that Niu Sen would do too many weird things. The reason was the same logic: when people reach a certain level, everything they do is trapped in the scope of open conspiracy. At most, the specific form of open conspiracy may vary in thousands of ways, but the execution of its actions is really limited.

"Chan, now I understand why you're not worried about the $8 billion debt."

Gru couldn't imagine how this intelligent man could be trapped by something.

"Ha, when did I not worry? You must have misunderstood me, Gru. If I really wasn't worried, then where are we going now?
Are we going to the beach to pick up coconuts?"

Noticing the change in Lier's expression, Mr. Cheng explained with a helpless smile.

"Lille, don't worry, I won't go bankrupt. I can't pay you 8 billion, but I can pay you for a hundred years with your salary."

"Chan, I don't mean that. I mean, as long as the food is provided, my salary can be reduced to four or five thousand dollars."

Four thousand dollars was the salary set by Eris, and Mr. Cheng set ten thousand dollars for Lille.

This guy is also a talented person. Cheng Daiqi even felt humiliated.

Lil, Lil, you seem to look down on me a little too much!

"Okay, Lille, you've done a good job during this period, so your base salary will be doubled from now on!"

Gru's follower was a little envious, but when he looked at his boss and found that Gru seemed to be thinking, he didn't dare to say much.

Well, my current income is pretty good and I can’t spend it all, so I’d better forget about raising my salary.

“Chan, you just mentioned something that I have some doubts about—how are you going to divide Shengluodu with Niu Sen?
You know, the city council here is almost the most complicated city council in the United States. Their average campaign investment even exceeds that of some state representatives. At the beginning, Crusoe only ran for city council when he entered politics. "

Cheng Daiqi pointed out the window and said with a smile.

“Do you think this city is beautiful?”

"Well, the sky is too far away to see the garbage on the roadside, so it looks pretty good this way."

Sheriff Gru didn't give Saint Luo any face at all and answered very frankly.

"Yes, Saint-Lo is a beautiful city. It can even be considered one of the best cities in human civilization. We should let more people feel the civilization and progress here. What do you think?"

"You mean?"

Gru didn't quite understand what Cheng Daiqi meant.

"In 2019, we will strive to bring in people to let them experience the civilized world of America."

Cheng Daiqi smiles so brightly.

America, aren't you a beacon to the world?

You can't just let your light shine on Americans, of course, the world's beacon must illuminate people all over the world!
