Chapter 406: Strangulation 3 (I actually prefer to name this chapter "The Turtle Grandson of Democracy")
Ballarat, which inherited the Kingdom of Northern Ireland which was unable to unite Little Britain and was about to disappear, is the largest "democracy" in human history and has been promoting itself as the mother of democracy around the world.

Britain naturally became the son of democracy, and the United States, which became independent from the colonies of Britain, accidentally became the grandson of democracy.

It may not sound very decent, but after all, the United States is a big country with a population of 300 million, and its institutional exploration in the field of democratic construction is still very advanced.

This advancement is not groundless confidence, but is based on thousands of election activities at different levels across the United States every year.

Because there is objectively a huge market for election services, electoral studies in America has naturally become a popular subject.

In electoral science, there is a special index that has become a popular index that everyone knows about amidst the controversial scene - the Yiwu Index.

During every election year, YW, as China's largest small commodity wholesale market, will export large quantities of materials for both sides of the election to the United States.

And this is the scientific nature of the yw index.

The exported materials will be redistributed by election organizers and service providers, or sold as souvenirs. The large export demand corresponds to the large number of American people supporting one side.

So, from this perspective, the accusation that some mysterious superpower interfered in the American election does seem to have some truth to it—but not much.

In short, there are many things similar to the YW index in America.

For example, the Washington Pizza Index. During the Cold War, an unknown superpower even sent dedicated agents to track this data.

When some major events occur and senior officials in Washington have to work overtime, the flow of people to pizza shops and fast food restaurants around the Pentagon or other functional agencies in the United States will increase significantly.

The pizza index also has another piece of data that can be used to verify the index, which is the number of people visiting some high-end bars in Washington during peak hours.

Once these two things grow stronger and weaker, it means that there is a big problem in Washington or the world - although the United States is the bastard of democracy, it is still the world's policeman for the time being.

There hasn’t been much happening in Washington recently, and there are undercurrents all over the world. But for top American officials, this undercurrent is actually the norm.

So, several high-end bars in Washington, D.C. are doing good business today.

Well, the main theme is relaxation, and this feeling of relaxation is similar to that of those soldiers suffering from "Middle East concussion" at the US garrison bases in the Middle East.

No matter how the world turns upside down, as long as the American news doesn't report it, it's like having nothing to do today and drinking in the bar.

In the Elvis Bar in Washington, D.C., Mr. Benny, the vice president of the New Times Group, was drinking with some of his friends.

Several people talked about the buttocks of a congressman on Capitol Hill, and they were all betting on how many seconds the congressman could last.

Just when they were about to call the lady with the perky butt to verify, Benny noticed a familiar figure walking towards him and was about to stand in front of him.

Benny wanted to turn around and run, but considering the occasion, he just picked up the glass and lowered his head, trying to get away with it by pretending to be drinking.

He doesn't like this person very much.

But Gwill just has a bad brain, not bad eyesight.

"Ha, Benny, I didn't expect you to be here too!"

As a social prince, Benny is able to become an advisor to the president of a large company by virtue of his extensive network of contacts. He has a special skill, which is making friends.

Although he had never liked Gwell, it was obvious that the governor's brother regarded Benny as a friend.

"Hah, Will, good to see you."

Benny put down his glass, looked surprised, and introduced Gwell to several friends.

"This is Gwill, my good friend from California, a great guy!"

In this situation, he couldn't possibly emphasize to the others that this person was Niu Sen's younger brother. But in fact, it didn't matter whether he emphasized it or not, after all, Gwill was not an unknown person.

The fact that Benny praised him like this showed that he had something extraordinary about him. Anyone who was interested would know Gwill's identity after a little investigation.

"I heard you changed jobs from Disney, where do you work now?"

Gwill didn't hesitate and sat down in the booth where Benny was.

He has the qualifications to be crazy.

Yes, he was treated like a stick in front of Cheng Daiqi, Temir, and Wolf, but the governor's younger brother was considered a Celestial Dragon in America because of his family relationship.

What level is it? For example, if Gwill wants to go to Loli Island, the organizers will probably welcome him there - this metaphor is hellish, but the demons in America are indeed like that.

"New Time, working for Ms. Temir, the California Senate blocked our New Time bill. Will, your brother is so ruthless."

Benny has not yet accessed some of the core things of the New Era, so he said something out of line.

The kind that Gwill would find outrageous.

"You know, I don't understand the bill stuff, but if your new application wants to be approved, um, who are these people?"

Benny's smile froze a little, but he quickly reacted and changed the topic with a smile.

"You are all my friends. Tell us what you want to do when you come to Washington this time. Maybe we can help you.

The company is the company, I just work for the company, it does not affect our friendship."

It sounds very generous, but in fact Benny is selling resources to both parties. Acting as a middleman is itself a kind of resource exchange. Otherwise, he would not have become a great man and been recruited by Temir because of his connections.

At this time, if Gwill really hooked up with one of the people present through Benny's introduction, he could gain favors in both directions.

The people who were drinking with him today were all people close to certain key figures in Washington. They could be considered the world's top connections at the conventional level.

The people these people serve have the need to monetize their power, but this need cannot be sold on a public platform and can only be realized through personal connections - this is why they would sit with Benny.

Benny is from the West Coast and has been active in several places near California for a long time. He has business potential.

Even if they can't be blended, Benny's introduction actually has the meaning of demonstrating strength in both directions.

But there is one point that must be made clear here. His behavior is private work. Just as he said, the company is the company and individuals are individuals.

"It's nothing serious. I just came to see my aunt. Well, you guys drink. I have plans with other people tonight."

Gwell wanted to find someone from NTIA, and there were a lot of Californians in NTIA, so he didn't need any introduction from others to get it done.

So he said something vaguely, emphasized his own strength, and then stood up and left Benny's booth.

"Benny, he is Niu Sen's brother?"

Benny nodded.

"Yeah, the California gang. Ha, if he wants to get anything done, he just needs to wipe his tears in front of his aunt."

"So what is he here for? Is our Ms. Nancy planning something big again?"

This is how gossip in Washington comes about. These people close to the center of power are able to obtain certain key information in advance even faster than the President of the United States.

The scary thing is that this kind of speed is the norm.

It's a bit too much to think of the man as a rubber stamp, but it's not that strong either.

If only, if only he could do something else, he wouldn't bother with BEC's affairs!
Do not believe?
Think about it, did that man accomplish anything that brought about significant changes in America during his four years in office?
"How would I know? Come, have a drink." Under the dim light, Benny's expression was still as decent as usual, but his eyes were full of solemnity.

He was a consultant to Robert at Disney, and Robert himself was just a manager. Although he was already one of the important figures on the front stage of Shemite Wanderer, he was ultimately just a working emperor.

And now, Benny's service objects are Wolf, Temir, and Cheng Daiqi.

His position was no longer someone's consultant, but Xinshi's vice president.

If he were brought to the Ming Dynasty, he used to be the advisor of a certain chief official, and even just a general. But now he has joined a royal palace and worked as a deputy steward.

Who doesn't want to get promoted? Benny has so much alimony to pay to his ex-wife. If he can be promoted to senior vice president or even executive vice president, his financial pressure will be greatly relieved.
-
In a beautiful manor in Florida, Mr. President was having a secret conversation with his second son.

The commander-in-chief was a playboy throughout his life. He married several wives and had five children. However, only the three children born to his first wife received his special attention.

Eric happened to be the youngest son born to his first wife. Today, he called Eric to Mar-a-Lago again.

"How are you doing with what I told you last time?"

Mr. President put down his club and asked.

“I bought about 10 million BEC coins. Its daily trading volume has now shrunk to about 50 million. Considering certain risks, I dare not buy too much.”

Mr. President is a very successful businessman. He nodded slightly, and it was unclear whether he agreed with his son's words or expressed admiration for his basketball skills.

"But father, BEC coin did not continue to fall as you said. It seems that the arrest of the founder did not affect its value."

Eric was right, but Mr. President was not worried.

“Don’t worry, we will find out the results. When the results come out, BEC coin will fall sharply, and then I will announce that I will reconsider the results of the investigation. I will notify you in advance and you can buy more.

Cryptocurrency is a good thing. If it were stocks, we would still have to worry about being discovered, hahahaha."

He is a successful businessman. While the President is convicting people of cybercrime on the Internet social platform and talking big in court, he is also mobilizing NTIA, which he can control, to investigate.

But secretly, he instructed his second son to secretly trade BEC coins using insider information.

Even before the NTIA investigation yielded anything, he had already begun planning how to handle the findings.

“Father, the size of BEC coin is still too small. It used to be worth tens of billions, but now it’s only worth about two billion. Why don’t we do something with Bitcoin or Ethereum?

These two are the hottest currencies in cryptocurrencies, and many people are involved in trading them. If I trade them, I can leverage and buy hundreds of millions at a time!"

"boom!"

With a beautiful hit, the golf ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, and Mr. President cursed.

"Stupid, do you think I don't want to?
But there are too many things involved in these two things, and even if I send someone to check, it may not affect their value.

What's more, most of the dealers here are well hidden. If you go in with leverage, you might get cut off. Alas, Eric, we can't be too greedy.

Money is a good thing, but we only need to earn money with controllable risks. Over the years, I have seen too many people who are richer than me go bankrupt.

Aren't they smart?
No, they are too greedy!"

Gwill: Old Deng, who are you scolding?
Although rulers will vehemently deny it, through all the rhetoric and narratives, the underlying logic of power is that authority can only be enforced by silencing those who disobey.

It’s just that the way to shut up is not uniform, and the specific inconsistency lies in how to kill.

Some people choose to kill, but some people think that simply killing has too little economic value - they will make soap. Some of the most courageous people will choose not to kill. To be more precise, they will destroy their hearts.

However, Gru doesn't have so many difficulty making decisions. He has always been a simple person.

Whoever stands in my way, I will kill him.

So he killed Tonks, cutting off his own path.

But now, as a successful dog, Sheriff Gru doesn't have to worry about where his own path lies. The only thing he needs to do is to safeguard the interests of the group.

Of course, for the sake of personal development, future and safety, he also has to run his own gang well. After all, he brought money with him when he joined.

Cheng Daiqi contributed money and management skills, Temir contributed political resources and money, and Wolf contributed political resources and money. They can become the core of this force, but Gru cannot.

Because he only has violence, and in modern society, pure violence is not that useful.

However, this is his only support.

“We can’t take this lightly, Jax, Chan’s BEC is now being investigated by the President, and they are confident that they can weather the storm.

But think about it, if the commander-in-chief finds out something is wrong, Crusoe and Wolfe may not always stand on the side of Cheng Daqi and Temir, and how will we deal with it then?"

Jax frowned, worried that Gru was going to take another risk.

"Let's wait and see, Boss. We are not the same as before. No one will touch us. Even if Chan and his men fail this time, our status will not be affected."

As the sheriff, Gru was in the open, but now he is hiding in the dark.

There is nothing to be gained by touching him, and there are also risks, so it is actually beneficial for Cheng Daiqi to let Gru retreat like this.

"You are wrong. My idea is that we should take the initiative to let Chan and Temir feel our support!"

Gru explained with a dumb laugh.

He had done too many rebellious things in the past, so Jax misunderstood his ideas.

“It is a critical moment now, but I think Chan will be able to get through this crisis easily. He originally brought many people to participate in LCE and BEC, but the news was not known to the president because of the lax regulation in the cryptocurrency field.

There is no way there is a problem with LCE. If BEC fails, he can just create a new BEC. They are all scam Ponzi schemes anyway.

What we need to do is to make him feel our loyalty in this precarious moment, you understand?"

Jax asked, feeling a little relieved.

"what do you mean?"

Sheriff Gru put down his pipe and sighed meaningfully.

"Two waves of people sent by the President to Afghanistan to check the accounts died."

Jax's face changed. He understood that Gru was going to mobilize the NTIA Special Investigation Team!
Gru is like this, how can someone who forces Niu Sen to shoot a short video be a good person?

"But, Boss, they didn't ask us to do this. Will this escalate the situation?"

Seeing that Jax was so clear-headed, Sheriff Gru nodded with satisfaction.

"Jax, you are right, but you are missing the point.

For example, would he give me this kind of order directly? This would give someone a handle, and he has always been very cautious!

Look, he has been staying in HK these days instead of returning to America. Isn't he just waiting for things to settle down?
Besides, I didn’t ask you to kill anyone, you arranged for someone to do it.”
