America started its counterattack from the bum

Chapter 377: The End of the Leader (1 new chapters, please give me a monthly ticket)
How should a person live his life?
This is a very irresponsible question. Cheng Daiqi would rather transform this abstract question into "how should a person survive in this world?"

When he chose the most difficult path, he was destined to face many challenges and tough opponents one after another. Of course, correspondingly, there were also many rewards for becoming a great man.

An imprudent life is wild and messy, and the pressure on Cheng Daiqi is so great that when he faced Gru's temptation, the first thing he thought of was not how to deal with it, but some kind of sigh from the heart.

It’s difficult, indeed difficult. Gru found a situation where Mr. Cheng was relatively passive to test him, which was his cleverness.

Cheng Daiqi realized that when he sat at the American dining table, everyone's attitude towards him changed.

Wolfe's change was the most significant. He chose to turn hostility and renegotiate terms at the first opportunity. This stemmed from his confidence in his own strength and his contempt for Cheng Daiqi.

You are just a piece of shit, and I took advantage of you!
You think you can threaten me with Eris, but I don't really care because you solved my biggest problem.

So, after the trouble was solved, Wolfe's attitude took a 180-degree turn.

Gru's attitude change was a little more complicated. From the beginning to just before the test, he seemed very respectful, as respectful as a tamed beast.

He was cheated twice by Niu Sen of the California Gang. In order to get out of the quagmire while maintaining his strength, he chose to pledge his allegiance to Cheng Daiqi. After becoming the general manager of Xizhou Logistics, Gru became Cheng Daiqi's knife.

Still, the former sheriff bared his teeth.

President Cheng was not actually too worried about this kind of grinning. He didn't even feel any pressure from it. Maybe it was a little troublesome, but this kind of trouble was actually not difficult to solve.

In a sense, Mr. Cheng even thought that Gru was very fragile inside.

If he had any ambition at all, he should have learned from Wolfe instead of trying to take advantage of the situation.

Yes, Mr. Cheng believed that Gru's current state was somewhat weak inside, and the so-called verbal temptation was just a struggle for him to deal with the dilemma he was facing.

Just now, President Cheng once again rejected Gru's request to clean up the senior management of Xizhou Logistics, and then Gru pressed forward.

Only meticulous people like Cheng Daqi can appreciate this kind of behavior.

Gru, you are not confident enough!
He lost his position as sheriff, left the LAPD, and was parachuted into a company executive. He was fooled by his subordinates and suppressed by Mr. Cheng from above. Even his wish to achieve great things was not met with.

Gru may not have felt a direct and clear sense of panic in his heart, but this huge change must have affected his thinking in the decision-making process, thus driving him to make tentative moves in the link where Cheng Daiqi seemed passive.

It was just a test, and it was good enough that Cheng Daiqi could think of this step. But if that was all, he wouldn't be where he is today.

The physiological differences between people are limited. There are many decisive factors that lead different people to different destinies. One of them can be simply understood as "insight."

The same thing, such as the setting sun in the sky, can be ignored by a cultivator in the Qi Refining stage with just a glance, while a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage can see the escaping light in the air more than ten miles away, a cultivator in the Golden Core stage can sense a divine consciousness spreading over, and a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage can see that his opponent is rushing towards them at the fastest speed.

People are not immortals, but different people see very different things from the same thing. Some people can see the tide by looking at the ripples, and some people can see the whole picture from a small part. Unfortunately, most people cannot see the elephant in the room even if it is about to burst the house. Fortunately, successful people are always in the minority.

He thought of Achilles from Gru's temptation.

Achilles' attitude towards Cheng Daqi and Mi'er has always been unkind, but after Cheng always won a miraculous comeback, the heir of the Karamacles family changed his attitude drastically and gave Cheng Daqi and Mi'er extraordinary gifts, even courtesy.

Before, Cheng Daiqi was influenced by the conditions proposed by Achilles. He thought that Achilles's purpose was to let Mier change her surname and give up her inheritance rights. But now it seems that this understanding is one-sided.

Wolfe turned hostile, Gru tested him, and Achilles treated him with courtesy. The differences among them were very worth pondering. Mr. Cheng was stunned in his seat for a moment.

Silence is sometimes an attitude. Lill thought he felt his boss's attitude, so he looked at Gru with a tense expression.

Sheriff Gru naturally would not bother with such an idiot. Seeing that Cheng Daiqi did not answer, he chose to close his eyes and take a nap.

If you don’t want to, then just don’t want to, you stingy guy, huh!

Just as Mr. Cheng guessed, Gru didn't have the courage to turn hostile immediately like Wolfe. Although he was not fragile inside, he was somewhat panicked, so he was surprised to find that he could endure much more than before.

"This matter is more complicated than you think, Gru. Let's study it carefully tomorrow when Mi'er comes back."

Mr. Cheng: I will explain to you, but not now.

Cheng Daiqi's answer was reasonable. Although it was a little late, Gru still nodded in agreement.

The black police knew that this was an excuse. Given Temir's previous madness and the fact that she had not achieved anything great, how could she be as important as she is now?

Cheng Daqi is the leader, the undoubted leader. Just look at Xizhou Logistics, which was clearly an industry given by Achilles to Themir, but in the end Cheng Daqi is in charge of everything.

Regarding the attitude of the top corrupt police, Cheng Zong did not say much. The source of power is not taken for granted, and he sometimes cannot appear to be so "easy to talk to".

Some things are indeed troublesome.
-
At two o'clock in the morning, in the MAS president's office, Lisa, who had just flown back from Paris, was discussing her feelings about the European trip with President Cheng.

"The executives of the European branch expressed dissatisfaction with our resignation conditions. They wanted very high prices. Chan, my idea is to go through the legal process and delay it as long as possible.

They had only worked for less than three months, but they dared to ask for such a high salary. The labor protection clauses in France are very loose, but they went too far. "

It is difficult for people to act independently of their own interests, and Lisa is the best example.

She is obviously a good person, but given her position, she has to do some things even though they seem outrageous.

Cheng Daiqi had just finished the transoceanic remote control from Shanhaiguan, and was then arrested and tortured by his own top general. His mind was a little confused. He pondered for a long time before he asked.

"How are the employees below? I am more concerned about the establishment of the production system of the European branch. These executives did not do their job well, but they did something, right?"

MAS started its global layout before it matured. This was a decision made by Cheng Daiqi based on its anticipation of the rapid global expansion of the short video market. At present, this decision seems a bit rash.

But, after spending more than three million dollars, the European branch must produce some results, right?
"Not very optimistic. We didn't do it well at the beginning. Later, we pushed for it and everything seemed to be just a makeshift one. Chan, I think we need to be more courageous. Maybe we can just let the subsidiary go bankrupt."

The blonde's suggestion may sound outrageous, but this is France, and considering the cost of reorganizing the system and reorganizing the workforce, perhaps starting from scratch is a good solution.

"Let me think about it, are you considering the time cost?"

Cheng Daiqi confirmed, and the blonde girl answered with a hint of admiration.

"That's the good thing about partnering with you, you're smarter, hahaha, Chan."

The president of MAS clicked his mouse, and two more emails appeared in his mailbox. He was thinking about how to deal with the mess in France.

"Have you paid attention to the Chinese guy I invited to the European branch?"

At the beginning, he asked Gu Chaofei for a middle-level manager from the French branch of Dongxin Group to go to the French branch of MAS to help him balance the influence of local senior executives. This was actually an easy thing to do, but now it seems that it may have become a breaking point.

“He’s doing OK, but he’s alone. Hey, Chan, you should make a decisive move. I even think that MAS can just focus on the North American market.

The commercial value of the North American market is high enough to support the future of MAS, and your Shanhaiguan is focused on the Chinese market. If you do well in the two most dynamic markets in the world, other marginal areas will not matter. "

This is a bit far-fetched - Europe = other marginal areas.

But considering the various factors between market size and cost-benefit, Lisa's words seem very reasonable.

“If you manage America well, the entire English-speaking market will be open to you, Chan. We invest a little bit of resources in the short video market in America, and the return we get may be 2 or 3, but how big is the market in France?

If we think about it more deeply, the language of the EU is completely different. Do we have enough energy to operate in France, Germany and Italy now? "

Cheng Daiqi sighed.

"Maybe I chose the wrong place, Lisa. I should have gone to London when I first set up the branch."

This is indeed his problem. After all, he is a Chinese at heart and lacks understanding of the European and American markets.

"What do you mean by going to London? Are you two going to London secretly without telling me?"

The rich black-haired woman opened the office door and teased the two of them with a smile.

"Mi'er, why are you here at the company?"

Cheng Daiqi raised his hand to look at his watch and found that it was indeed two o'clock in the morning.

"I just came back from Utah. Lil told me you were still working, so I came to see you. What, did I disturb your date?"

The blonde rolled her eyes and said yin and yang.

"Dating? I'm working sixteen hours a day and you think I'm dating?"

Cheng Daiqi smiled awkwardly, he knew that Lisa was pointing at him.

Lisa is responsible for a large part of the construction of the New Time Group and MAS's many affairs. This girl has almost become a superwoman now.

Yes, Mr. Cheng treats her well, and Mi'er is also very good to her, but he treats her like a beast of burden. No, even beasts of burden are not as tiring as Lisa. In this situation, Lisa can only smile even if she scolds Mr. Cheng.

"Take a rest if you're tired. Mi'er can keep an eye on things in Xinshi. By the way, is there anything in Utah that's worth a special trip?"

The assistant of the rich black-haired woman put a chair for her. The girl leaned on it tiredly, and the first thing she did was to take off her shoes.

"It's annoying, Mi'er, don't you find it disgusting?"

Lisa looked at her best friend with disdain and complained while covering her nose.

"Honey, please forgive me, I ran almost 700 miles today, I am exhausted, and I visited five places.

You would never guess that I now have a hydroelectric power station in Utah, and the dam there is as high as a five-story building. My God, I never thought in my life that I would have a hydroelectric power station. "

The black-haired rich woman was gesticulating with her hands. When she saw the five-story-high dam, her whole body went numb.

She doesn't understand things like hydroelectric power stations.

"What about other places, how about that old school you mentioned?"

Mi'er and Mr. Cheng briefly complained about the old school whose valuation was very questionable, and Cheng Daiqi had an impression of it.

Lisa was actually a little envious of Mier. Yes, who wouldn’t envy her life?

Not only has she achieved success, but her brother also gave her hundreds of billions.

Yes, it might be difficult for her to inherit the family property and she would lose the qualification to obtain more, but how much money is considered rich?
"Damn, I think that place is perfect for shooting ghost movies, like The Conjuring 3, Scary Movies 6, etc. There's no need for any renovation or set-up. After filming, it can be immediately fenced off and used as a theme park for a fee!"

Although it was obviously her own property, the black-haired rich woman did not hold back when she complained about it. Perhaps this was a kind of humor. Anyway, both Mr. Cheng and Lisa were amused by her.

"Hahaha, we can shoot it ourselves. When the time comes, you two will go to Hollywood to make your debut. There will definitely be a lot of people buying into it. Pretty girls like you will be the envy of other female stars."

Nice words don't cost money, and Mr. Cheng's ability to create sweet dates out of thin air is truly unique.

"Forget it. I'm too lazy to even take a short video now. Lisa, did you just come back from France?"

At that time, Mi'er lacked confidence and a sense of security, and she wanted to gain more affirmation and recognition from others.

When she really became an important person, she didn't care whether anyone recognized her or not.

"Yes, the situation of the branch over there is not very good. I want to liquidate the subsidiary company directly."

The blonde girl's words aroused Temir's interest, and she also poured out her grievances to Cheng Daiqi.

"The situation I saw today is not good either. All five locations have problems to varying degrees. The worst is the old school. Even the hydropower station, which is in the best condition as expected, has serious problems - in another ten years it will reach the limit of its design lifespan."

Cheng Daiqi nodded and tapped his hands on the table as he thought.

"How about we go have a midnight snack? We haven't been together for a long time, hahaha."

"Okay, but I can't eat too much." Lisa certainly wouldn't refuse. What Mr. Cheng said was true. The three of them were getting busier and busier. Even though they all stayed in Saint-Lodu for a long time, it was difficult for them to find time to get together.

"I want to drink something. Wait a minute. I'll ask my assistant to contact the place."

Mier said she would arrange the place because the girl couldn't sleep at night and liked to drink.
-
"Brother Cheng, I'm sorry, I..."

Xiao Sun is also a poor guy. The job of being a driver for Mr. Cheng is too tiring. He was shocked when Cheng Daqi woke him up by knocking on the glass.

"Go back and rest first. You have nothing to do tonight."

Xiao Sun was stunned for a moment, then saw President Cheng turn around and leave, then sit in Mu Shang's driving seat.

Speaking of which, he is increasingly unable to understand the path to becoming a great man, even though he is clearly the person closest to becoming a great man.

He has also been a man like Mr. Cheng who drives with two girls, but one of Mr. Cheng’s girls is the most beautiful among the super rich, and the other is the most beautiful among the ceiling of workplace elites. This is a bit awesome.

Moreover, the composition of Mr. Cheng’s assets remains a mystery to this day.

Although Mr. Cheng is poor, Xiao Sun would often drive Mr. Cheng to meet different American bigwigs. Achilles left a particularly deep impression on Xiao Sun - that was a bodyguard team of the president-general level, and until now Xiao Sun still didn't know what Achilles' name was.

By observing Mr. Cheng's tense demeanor every time he met Achilles, Xiao Sun also confirmed one thing - Achilles was a more powerful person than Niu Sen. This made Xiao Sun even more in awe of Mr. Cheng, because Niu Sen was a California rancher!
He is said to be rich, but it seems that he has no assets. He lived in Mi'er's house every day some time ago, and he lived off her to the extreme.

Moreover, Mr. Cheng’s car is still a broken Tesla, and he has no plans to change it. His main purpose is to save where possible and spend where possible.

The car door was opened and the giant bear Lear got in, muttering.

"What are you standing there for? Follow me!"

"Ah, I'm off work."

Lil glanced at the Shabi with contempt and cursed.

"Nonsense, the boss isn't done yet, are you off work?"

Yes, Mr. Cheng has been kind to you, but does that mean you can’t be loyal to him?
"OK! OK, aren't you sleepy?"

Xiao Sun shrugged, started the Tesla, followed the black Mulsanne, and drove out of the underground garage.

Lill was even more certain that the child was beyond saving.

"I'm not driving. You drive carefully. I'll take a nap first."

Xiao Sun’s anger value was +100, but he managed to hold it in.

After the last attack, President Cheng arranged two bodyguards for Lisa. He didn't want his friend to be implicated because of his career.

Lisa has two bodyguards, and the number of convoys increases by one.

Mi'er has always had a whole service team to take care of her. She didn't want to be troubled when traveling in the past, so she often acted alone. For example, when she met Mr. Cheng for the first time, she met Mr. Cheng accompanied by Lisa.

But things are different now. Mi'er has nearly ten bodyguards and assistants, and the number of motorcades has increased by four.

Among Mr. Cheng’s bodyguards are people from Eris, Chinese people introduced by Lao Li, policemen arranged by Gru, and experts carefully selected by Mier. As the leader of a new force, his companions are very concerned about Mr. Cheng’s safety.

Moreover, Cheng Daiqi couldn't refuse these good intentions. He couldn't tell Eris or Gru that he didn't welcome their people.

So, including Mr. Cheng’s bodyguards, the number of convoys increases to four.

In the end, including the Mulsanne that Mr. Cheng and the two girls were riding in, their fleet had ten cars.

What is the concept?
If the fire trucks and ambulances were included, the number of vehicles in the fleet would even be more than that of the President. Unfortunately, none of the three people in Cheng's car have yet been sworn in as the President, so they are not qualified to be equipped with fire trucks and ambulances.

Lear could hear his snoring, he was sleeping soundly. In America, anyone who touched such an awesome convoy would die, no one would be stupid enough to do anything stupid, so he could certainly rest.

Xiao Sun couldn't sleep, not because he was driving, but because he was a little shocked.

In the past, he did not realize how prominent Mr. Cheng's position was. But today, when he became a member of this convoy, looking at the cars on the road that avoided the convoy, he felt the reality of power for the first time.

In particular, when the convoy drove onto Highway 10, a highway patrolman on a motorcycle discovered the convoy. The young policeman thought it was a governor or even a senator traveling, so he kindly acted as a free road clearer.

At first there was only one motorcycle police force, then two motorcycles, and later the motorcycle police's superior drove his own car and personally led the charge.

You say America has no human touch?
Child, you don’t deserve to be respected!

These policemen seem to have done something stupid, but in fact they are not wrong. Their superior's superior is Jax, Gru's younger brother.

Coincidentally, Mr. Cheng is Gru's benefactor.

If they knew Mr. Cheng's true background, the big bosses of these patrol police would probably drive over personally to serve as Cheng Daiqi's bodyguards.

They are just ordinary patrolmen who are assigned to night shifts, which shows that they have no connections or vision. Seeing President Cheng is like a frog in a well seeing the moon. When one day they are lucky enough to know Cheng Daiqi's true strength, they will be like a mayfly seeing the sky when they see President Cheng.
-
Smiling and patting the old patrolman on the shoulder, Cheng Daiqi turned around and entered the cleared bar with Mi'er and Lisa.

Of course, some people are not used to the behavior of the rich, but Lill will make them leave convinced.

"They are just small fry, what do you say to them?"

Mi'er was dissatisfied with Mr. Cheng's delay and complained.

“Sometimes a small person can change everything. The higher our status, the more we should respect the small people.

Mi'er, even if those who paid the price have forgotten, we, as the ones who enjoyed everything, must never forget. "

Lisa listened thoughtfully, but Mier sneered.

This is just nonsense to deceive people. The rules of the world have always been determined by a minority. Even if the so-called lower class has the power to change the world, the rulers of the old world will still have their own space in the new world.

The flock always needs a leader, and the position of shepherd is determined by heaven, not by man.

In the capitalist world, capital is everything.

"Nonsense, you always have a lot of reasons, then tell me what to do with that crappy school?"

"We can work with the LAPD, get some budget from the San Lodo council, and transform it into a special prison jointly owned by the San Lodo government and us. What do you think?"

"You're more of a capitalist than I am, Chan!"

"Hahaha, let's have some drinks, a glass of vodka, with ice cubes, lime juice, ginger beer, oh, and most importantly, some honey."

Lisa asked in confusion.

“Chan, your design sounds good, but can you handle the city council of Saint-Lodu?”

Mi'er also looked at President Cheng, waiting for his answer. She was actually quite looking forward to it.

Although this man was a good-for-nothing, he was very intelligent. She liked to see the courage he showed when solving difficult problems.

Come on, solve the problem!
“The private prison industry has been around in the United States since the 1990s, but it is mostly located in the economically depressed Rust Belt. It is an industry related to the security and economic conditions of the region.

Please note that the public security, economy, etc. here are relative, not absolute.

For example, in Saint-Loto, three years ago, an ordinary American in Saint-Loto could support his family with his salary from work, which means a piece of bread only cost one dollar. But now a piece of bread costs two dollars, but his salary has not doubled.

This relative stagnation of economic development will affect local public security, and in fact, this is indeed the case.

Under such circumstances, the expansion of prisons has become an inevitable outcome in a sense. Our participation or promotion has only accelerated this process. As long as we provide appropriate research data and reports, and find some key people, this matter will not be difficult to accomplish. "

Seeing that Cheng Daiqi had finished showing off, the bartender timidly handed him the drink he ordered.

"Your wine, sir."

Lisa asked.

“But, Chan, I understand why private prisons are profitable, but have you ever thought about the investment in this matter? Where does the money come from to start this project?
Mi'er went to see those industries today, and the situation is not optimistic. MAS and OC have insufficient hematopoietic capacity, your LEC and BEC have just started not long ago, Xizhou Logistics is in a precarious situation, and our new liquidity is very problematic. You have to take this into consideration. "

Mier sighed imperceptibly. She had clearly stepped onto a new level, but after coming up, she found that the problems she was facing were much more complicated than before.

The feelings of warmth and coldness were so subtle that she sometimes even felt tired.

Cheng Daiqi took a sip of wine and said to Mier with admiration.

"You always said that Lisa might not be able to do the job, but now you can see that her overall thinking and vision are already very good, and her position in considering issues is also high enough, so you used to let her work for tens of thousands of dollars a month, which was actually a great bargain."

The black-haired rich woman didn't expect that this could bite her. She kicked Cheng Daiqi and cursed.

"What do you mean by 'I said she's not up to the task', honey? I was just worried that you'd get tired!"

What is high emotional intelligence?
Mi'er's words seemed to be out of consideration for Lisa, and also echoed what Lisa had just said in the MAS President's Office, when she complained about working sixteen hours a day. It was simply the perfect example of a way out of a situation.

but
Lisa raised her glass and clinked it with Mr. Cheng's. In fact, she didn't listen to Mi'er's explanation at all. She knew very well what was wrong with this woman.

"Yeah, don't try to sow discord between us. Tell me what you think. Have you not already done that?"

Mr. Cheng laughed. How could a man say no?

“This matter sounds complicated. Lisa’s idea was very thoughtful, but she made a mistake. She thought about things in a biased way, limiting herself to Xinshishang and ignoring other resources we have.

The reorganization and utilization of resources is an endless science, and we don't necessarily have to pay for private prisons ourselves.

This old school is part of Xinshi’s non-performing assets. From the perspective of dealing with non-performing assets, we can separate it out, set up a project company with the property rights of this land as the core, and finance it with appropriate project planning.”

Lisa nodded and sighed.

"I'm in the perfume business. Hey, Chan, I still think you should find a more experienced general manager."

Mi'er didn't say anything, but was thinking about how feasible Mr. Cheng's plan was.

"Experience can be accumulated slowly. Mier and I are aware of your growth rate. Lisa, you are simply the strongest woman in America. Sometimes I envy you. You are beautiful, smart, capable, and super cool. Hahaha."

The blonde girl smiled and waved her hands. She might be saying that she didn't agree with the compliment, or that Mr. Cheng's words were too corny.

However, because she laughed so happily, the girl's white cheeks turned slightly red. It was obvious that Mr. Cheng's lies were still useful.

This is called tactical action in place, and the tactical effect will be in place most of the time, so just do it.

“Okay, Chan, how are we going to raise money?”

Hearing Lisa's question, Cheng Daiqi nodded at Mi'er and said.

"I looked at the photos Mier sent me. It's a mess there. Let's spend a little money to fix it up. At least the valuation given to us by the asset appraiser will be more reasonable. Then we can find people who are willing to invest.

Let me think about it. We can attract some foreign capital, some capital from different local forces in Saint-Lo, and then issue some bonds. Do you have any opinion, Mier?"

The black-haired rich woman, as the big boss, answered sourly.

"You two make a good team, just follow your ideas, I have no objection."

Lisa teased as she put her arm around Honey's shoulders.

"Do you understand what he's saying?"

"what?"

Mi'er really didn't understand. She was just cursing in her mind.

"Chan, how much do you want to value that piece of land at?"

Lisa knew very well what Mr. Cheng meant by this. When she asked, Mr. Cheng smiled in admiration.

Not bad, Lisa.

"Spend a million dollars, hire some illegal immigrants to work for a few weeks, and trim all the greenery and lawns, fix the fountains and pools, replace the broken glass with new ones, and repaint everything. In short, make it as new as possible.

As long as it looks good enough, we will find a more capable appraisal company to give it a starting valuation of 300 million, and then raise another 200 to 300 million. Rounding it off, this project will have a valuation of 1 billion at the beginning, and when the time is right in the future, we will go public and raise another round of money!"

He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Moreover, whether this project succeeds or not, the initial investment is relatively low. We can always use this land in the future, make it look beautiful, and operate it in any way we want."

Starting from 300 million

Billion-dollar valuation

Future Listing

The bartender felt a little strange when listening to Mr. Cheng's words. He couldn't tell whether it was the excitement or nervousness of meeting an important person. He just felt a little dizzy.

He didn't know the names of the three young men in front of him, but for the first time he felt a sense of sadness.

They are all Americans, but the gap between them can be so huge. This is very capitalistic and makes the bartender feel extremely anxious.

The distance between him and the three people seemed to be only separated by a bar counter, but at the same time, they were thousands of miles apart. He understood that it was a distant place that he could never reach in his entire life.

"Another one, with less honey this time."

Cheng Daiqi's words interrupted the bartender's reverie, and Mi'er asked about the details of Cheng's plan.

"How can we deal with you? Stay away, Lil, come and help us and the bartender order drinks."

The black-haired rich woman said halfway, then suddenly changed the subject, pointed at the bartender and told him to get out.

After the giant bear Lil crawled into the bar, he pulled the bartender to the farthest corner. Only then did Mier continue to speak.

"Economic development and practical needs are reasons, but they are not enough to deal with the Saint-Lô Metropolitan Council. In other words, I think it is unnecessary to bring them in. Why share the money with them?"

Cheng Daiqi shook his head and lifted Mi'er's chin with his hand somewhat arbitrarily.

This was to comfort Mi'er. The black-haired rich woman had a crazy personality. Just after President Cheng praised Lisa, she started to lose her focus. This was obviously not OK.

"Woman, your stupidity disgusts me. If we don't get the city government involved, how can we trick other investors into giving us money?"

The black-haired rich woman actually liked Mr. Cheng’s tone, but she still slapped Mr. Cheng’s hand aside - that’s what a yandere is like.

“Take it away, but what if the city council doesn’t pass it?”

Cheng Daqi smiled.

"Ha, then let's have a prison riot, what do you think?"

Lisa sighed helplessly.

Oops, what if two of the best, no, half friends are evil capitalists?
Kind people will be troubled by this, but sober people will not. Lisa is very kind, but fortunately she is always sober.

"Gru asked us for the shares of Xizhou Logistics and wanted him to move. I guess we have to give up the interests of Xizhou Logistics. Chan, it's not that I'm reluctant to give up that little share, but I don't like him."

The black-haired rich woman understood Cheng Daiqi's design, and she sighed with some distress.

Cheng Daiqi nodded silently, then his expression became serious. He looked at Lisa and found that the girl was already staring at him waiting for a reply.

"Two beauties, we won a very difficult game some time ago. You should know how difficult it was, but we won."

"This shows that we are not stupid players. There are many very powerful people in this house of America, but some of them are old, some don't want to toss, some are marginalized, and some have lost their ambitions."

The blonde girl frowned tightly, she smelled something unusual from Cheng Daiqi's words.

"At first, I thought these opponents were very scary, so I was very cautious. Honey, you were also worried at that time, but we still won."

Temir nodded slightly to show his approval of Mr. Cheng's words.

"Every one of those opponents has weaknesses, and no one is perfect. We don't need to be too afraid. The only thing we have to be afraid of is ourselves. Yes, we have to think about whether we have done anything wrong."

Both girls were a little surprised. Cheng Daiqi's idea sounded a little out of the ordinary to them.

"Gru tested me today. At that time, I was stunned and realized something."

"As our circumstances change, the people who accompany us and those who are our opponents are also changing their attitudes and expectations of us. We need to respond to these changes in a completely new way or state under the new situation."

"This is a huge challenge. Wolfe turned against us, Niu Sen cooperated with us on interests, Eris seemed loyal but sensitive, and Gru, one of our biggest opponents along the way, has suddenly become our partner, or our man."

"This change is extraordinary and we have to handle it with care."

"Mi'er, how do you think we should respond to Gru?"

Temir remained silent because Cheng Daiqi overlooked a key figure, Achilles, but she happened to realize it.

Lisa picked up the wine glass nervously and found that it was empty.

Even she rarely sees Cheng Daiqi so serious, which shows that Mr. Cheng attaches great importance to the topic they discussed tonight.

"Chan, I just said that I don't like Gru because I can't forget his malice towards you. Do you still remember how he treated you in the beginning?

You are a generous man. Most heroes in history are similar to you. You can generously regard your former enemies as partners.

But, I can't do it.

Maybe I'm just a petty-minded woman at heart?

Ha, it doesn't matter, but I was actually quite happy to see Gru fall into a dead end due to your design and fall into our hands - I don't like him. "

Although she didn't answer the question, Mi'er's words were so touching.

Lisa pouted.

You two are really a perfect match. One is an extremely emotional person, and the other is an extremely rational person. You complement each other very well, don't you?
"That's the problem, Mi'er. At that time, we were risking everything, so it didn't matter how we treated our, um, partners. After all, opponents can also become partners.

But now, we are no longer who we were before, and we can no longer use the drastic measures we used to do. Otherwise, we will push these people away and put ourselves in danger.”

Having said that, President Cheng looked at the blonde.

"I say this tonight to remind you, and of course, Lisa, that as circumstances change, our mentality must also change, as must our methods of doing things and the way we treat these friends and enemies.

Only in this way can we go further and more steadily. ”

Temir leaned on the bar with one hand, looking at his beloved boy with moving eyes.

He has unlimited ambitions, he always maintains his ambitions, he uses wisdom to cut down the enemies that stand in his way, his principles seem non-existent but so clear, he takes every step firmly.

But, Chan, where are you going?

"You might be a born politician, Chan."

Lisa's idea was simpler - she thought Mr. Cheng was both sober and smart.

"Back to the matter itself, the matter of Gru wanting Xizhou Logistics itself, Lisa, tell me what you think."

"Ah? I don't know him very well. The same goes for Xizhou Logistics. I don't know anything about them either."

The blonde was a little dumbfounded and said something stupid, which made Mier laugh.

Lisa glanced at her and looked at Mr. Cheng helplessly.

Bro, there’s no need.

"It just takes some special insights. Just use your intuition. I have a plan in mind, but I need some inspiration - what if my plan is not perfect?"

Just saying, I want to hear different opinions.

Lisa twirled the lemon slice in the glass with her fingers, thought for a moment, and then spoke slowly.

"Chan, Mi'er, I have been more of an executor in recent years, including now. You assign tasks to me and I carry them out. Fortunately, without considering the results, everything I do is a prudent process.

Thanks to this, I was able to do quite a lot of things well, and this is why I have the confidence to accept your request and try to accept the position of general manager of Xinshi Group."

Hearing this, Mier stopped rubbing her legs under the table.

She felt that Lisa's words were a veiled attack on her.

“As an executor, if I am asked to solve the troubles in Xizhou, the first thing I would consider is that the general manager of Xizhou is Gru, a troublesome, sensitive, and important person. What is your attitude towards such a person?

Chan, you said that opponents can also be partners, but Mier said that your design pushed him to a dead end and made him come to our side, so, what is he now?
Yes, I need you to give me a definite answer first, Chan."

Mier looked at her best friend in surprise, as if she was getting to know Lisa all over again. The blonde and white girl had very clear ideas and grasped the key to the problem.

Cheng Daiqi hesitated for a moment because he had no answer to this question.

"Mi'er, I think we should still treat Gru as a partner. He has a lot of problems, but he is irreplaceable and very useful. He may be a little arrogant and greedy, but capable people are qualified to negotiate terms. What do you think?"

The black-haired wealthy woman nodded and sighed.

"I still can't get around him. You helped him twice, and each time he was able to take a big step forward. The first time he became the LAPD chief of police, which allowed him to expand his power. The second time you helped him get down from the crater, giving him more room to maneuver.

We have gained a lot from these things, but now it seems that it is time for us to pay the price. Give me the shares of Xizhou Logistics!"

Cheng Daiqi admires Mier very much.

Gru was panicked about his situation, but Mier could see clearly that after Gru retreated, he became more calm. This is the difference.

Of course, it is not so pleasant to be forced by Cheng Zong's design to surrender and join Cheng Zong's newly formed force, but Gru also has to pay a price in exchange for his freedom, which is always what he deserves.

"I understand, but Chan, Mi'er, I think your response to Gru's request was too hasty.

From my point of view, he is like a barbarian. He used to be a sheriff but now he has become a company executive. He has moved from an administrative agency to a business organization and should follow the procedures of a business organization.

We gave him a position and a high annual salary. Why would he use our goodwill as leverage to blackmail us?
Since you have already recognized him as our friend, you must truly treat him as one of your own, let him do things according to the rules in Xizhou and within the Xinshi system, and everything must proceed according to the procedures. That's enough.

Don't make him special. The consequence of making him special is that he will become more arrogant. Compromise is always easy, but what about next time? "

Cheng Daiqi and Mi'er looked at each other in surprise, because Lisa's measures really sounded plausible.

But Mi'er still had concerns, so she spoke.

"Gru is not an ordinary person, Lisa, he is a.born!"

"Ha, I understand that you are concerned about his influence in the LAPD. I understand that, so when he cries we have to give him candy. Only in this way can we make him work for us. But you two, we should understand one fact, that is, we have already given him a lot of candy!"

The blonde and the white girl talked freely while Mr. Cheng studied silently.

There are indeed huge differences in ideas among different people, and Lisa's words gave him a lot of inspiration.

“If he wants candy, we can give it to him, but we can’t dote on his child like a doting parent and satisfy all his requests.

Who has the final say is a very important issue of principle, especially for this wild and untamed savage, we must tame him well and let him know that he should abide by the rules.

In the past, he gained benefits by challenging the rules. Now, we have to teach him to abide by the rules and give him benefits at the same time. It's that simple!"

"Is there any specific plan?" Temir asked quietly.

She started to feel jealous again. Lisa could be silly sometimes about small things, but she was really clear-headed about big things.

"Let's delay it for now and let him submit a debt response plan to the Xinshi board of directors. This is what he should do as the general manager of Xizhou. I will review his plan in advance. If the plan is not suitable, I will come forward to communicate with him.

He is too familiar with you two, so I am more suitable to be the executor.

Of course, we can't stop giving candy rewards, Chan. Your plan for the prison project is a piece of candy that's just the right size and not too big.

We can give him candy, but we can't do everything according to his wishes, Mi'er, do you agree with my plan?"

Cheng Daiqi found it a little funny. Gru was obviously a corrupt cop, but after Lisa's analysis, the corrupt cop seemed like a child crying for candy.

It sounds outrageous, but if you think about it carefully, it seems to be true.

Mi'er's face didn't look good. She looked at Lisa for two seconds and found that the girl was actually looking directly at her.

Lisa's gaze wasn't actually aggressive, she was just waiting for a response, but Mi'er still felt offended.

Suddenly, the black-haired rich woman thought of what Cheng Daiqi had just said.

It turned out that her attitude towards Lisa should also change.

Is he reminding me?
Temir's thoughts were drifting away, but Lisa confirmed with her again, which brought her back to her senses.

"Honey, you're awesome, but Xizhou's short-term debt next month is about to be repaid. Your plan is great, but what about the debt?"

It’s a bit difficult, but not too much, because the points Mier pointed out are also based on the facts.

"I'll pay 20 million dollars, and you'll pay 80 million dollars. We'll inject 100 million dollars into Xinshi, and Xinshi will use the 100 million to help Xizhou repay its debts in the next few months!"

Lisa bet all her assets on it. As the general manager of Xinshi, if she wanted to implement her plan, she needed the approval of Mi'er and Cheng Daiqi.

Mr. Cheng is easy to deal with, but Mi'er is not so easy to deal with. However, Lisa doesn't want to be a poor subordinate anymore.

With Cheng Daiqi's subtle encouragement, she chose to show her attitude.

Do this matter as I say!
Temir, do you agree?

"What should we do in a few months? Xizhou has a lot of short-term debt every month. At least every month for the next year, we will face the situation where cash flow cannot cover the maturing debts!"

The black-haired rich woman continued to raise questions, saying that President Cheng could actually help Lisa out, but he just drank silently.

He wanted to see how Lisa, whom he had always admired, would respond to Mier's doubts.

“Outside Xizhou, give Gru candy, and inside Xizhou, give Gru a few months to deal with troubles, adjust business, and improve financial conditions.

He is the general manager of Xizhou Logistics with an annual salary of tens of millions of dollars, so he must make the most of his annual salary!
If he doesn't do well, don't blame us for cutting his salary. If he can't prove his worth, Chan, then it's time for you to talk to him."

Having said that, Lisa looked at Mr. Cheng with a serious look.

"At that point, when you come forward to solve the problem, he should have nothing to say."

Cheng Daiqi raised his glass and sighed.

"Ms. Lisa, I actually prepared a great plan, but your plan is also great, and it's smarter than mine!"
