America started its counterattack from the bum

Chapter 423: Feast of Wolves 1
Temir's villa is very big. Benny, who arrived early, was arranged by Mier's housekeeper to wait in a side hall.

However, this clever broker-type aide discovered a clue from the convoy parked near the fountain in the courtyard of the villa.

Madam Speaker of the House of Representatives is so arrogant that she can't hide even if she wants to.

Benny certainly knew the complicated relationship between BEC coin and Xinshi. The share of this cryptocurrency project occupied a pivotal position in the conversion of Mr. Cheng's shares as a shareholder of Xinshi.

However, BEC and LCE are both projects directly managed by General Cheng. Although Benny is the vice president of New Time, he is only at the entry level in New Time's management system.

Vice President, it just sounds scary. Benny's only job is to provide personnel consulting to President Cheng, Lisa and Mi'er. At most, he will be responsible for some sensitive public relations activities in the future.

Now New Times has three vice presidents. The other two are from Xizhou (Gru) and OC (Fraser, Mier's man). They have much more power than Benny, but the positions of senior vice president and executive vice president are still vacant.

This is directly related to the fact that Xinshi’s business has not been completely sorted out. Due to the sensitivity of many of its businesses, Cheng Daiqi and Mier both have reservations about the parachuting promotion.

But Benny saw clues from Will's activities in Washington.

He already knew that Niu Sen was supporting BEC, and he found out that Will was looking for the deputy director of NITA. Now, Benny saw the Speaker's motorcade stop at his boss's house.

Thinking about how he had dealt with Mike Pom, the vice president couldn't help but let his imagination run wild, with his thoughts churning in his mind.

However, the new situation outside the window interrupted Benny's reverie. Through the window, he saw President Cheng and Temir sending Niu Sen and Nancy to the car, and they hugged each other and said goodbye.

However, it seemed that President Cheng and Niu Sen talked a few more words. I don’t know what President Cheng mentioned, but the governor was as happy as a fifty-year-old child.

"Mr. Benny, Miss Temir and the Honorable Chan are now available to see you, please follow me."

Mi'er's secretary pushed open the door to the side hall and motioned Benny to follow her.

The vice president nervously adjusted the collar of his suit, took a deep breath, followed the waitress, and listened to the secretary's instructions.

"The young lady is not very happy, so don't make her angry later."

It's not that the secretary is on Benny's side, it's just that Honey is angry and everyone suffers.

Having worked under Mi'er for so long, these subordinates all have a mature set of service experience.

"Thank you, thank you, but may I know what happened?"

"I don't know either. Don't ask here."

Benny stopped talking. He didn't have any special opinions about Cheng Daiqi and Temir before. He always felt that the two might have a higher starting point than him, but there would not be any fundamental differences between them.

It's just that you are the second generation and the son-in-law, and I, Benny, don't have these conditions, so I work for you.

Now, Benny, who has gradually figured out the BEC incident, feels like he has seen the true face of a monster.

It turns out that there is no essential difference between Temir, Cheng Daiqi and his previous boss.

Thinking of this, Benny shook his head.

No, there are still some.

Robert is the front man of the interest group and is essentially a working emperor at the highest level. However, no matter how capable a worker is, he is still a worker.

Mr. Cheng and Mi'er belong to the new generation of interest group leaders of their own faction, and they are both too young, at least younger than Benny.

".You still want Nancy to protect you from the storm in Congress, Chan, you are too naive!

She is just an old lunatic. If you give her a chance today, she will definitely take the initiative to secretly instigate some people to attack us in the future—and the scope is not limited to your car manufacturing project.”

Mi'er and Mr. Cheng have reached a certain consensus with the aunt and nephew of the California Gang. In some areas where both sides have close interests, they will stand together.

But it was obvious that Mi'er was dissatisfied with Mr. Cheng's response just now.

That is, Niu Sen and Nancy were there, so she couldn't name them directly. Now she is criticizing them after the fact and putting pressure on Mr. Cheng.

"Ha, why do you look down on me like that, Mi'er? I am actually..."

"Chan, Miss, Benny is here."

Cheng Daiqi stopped explaining and looked towards the door. Benny was bowing slightly to greet them.

"Humph!"

Mi'er snorted coldly at Mr. Cheng, without even looking at Benny, and got up and left.

She and Cheng always agree on Benny's matter. He has great potential, but he just needs some tests.

How the test is done specifically is Mr. Cheng’s business - Cheng Daqi and Mi’er still have some mutual trust.

"Come, please take a seat. You didn't speak much at the meeting this morning. Are you still not familiar with the situation in Xinshi?"

Pointing to the seat where Niu Sen had just sat, Mr. Cheng motioned Benny to sit down and talk.

The morning meeting was the first strategic meeting where all senior executives and core managers of Xinshi gathered together. Everyone except Mi'er attended.

Mi'er does not show up purely because of her special identity. Her family inheritance has made her accustomed to not acting as an open big capitalist in the front - making videos and becoming an internet celebrity is another matter.

"Yes, I have only been in New Times for a short time. Isn't it President Lisa who is presiding over the meeting today? I saw that Mr. Gru and Mr. Fraser didn't say much, so..."

Seeing that Benny had misunderstood Mr. Cheng's meaning and answered awkwardly, Mr. Cheng waved his hand and said.

"Okay, there's not so much to it. It's just that your mission is quite special. Just report some things to me or Mi'er separately. You've done quite well.

I called you here today to ask about the difficulties you encounter in your work in Washington, D.C. The public relations department is critical for special non-profit entities such as New Times. "

Benny felt a little relieved. He didn't have time to think about the relationship between Lisa, Mr. Cheng and Mi'er, but started complaining first.

"Most of the work in Washington has gone smoothly. The only problem is that we don't have a branch or department in Washington. Sometimes I need more manpower, which may not be convenient."

"How many people are needed?"

Cheng Daiqi pondered for a few seconds, and considering the sensitivity of the public relations department, he decided to delegate some of the personnel power within the department to Benny.

"Three, recruit some smarter people to help us avoid risks, Boss."

Benny answered nervously.

This is how workers are. They clearly want more, but they are afraid that if they ask for too much, Mr. Cheng will remember it, so they only dare to ask for three.

New time, loyal!
"Hahaha," Mr. Cheng couldn't help but laughed.

"Benny, do you think we are a makeshift team? Why don't you first tell me what you think of the public relations department? How do you think such a department should conduct business?"

Benny replied awkwardly.

"The Washington branch only needs three people. One is responsible for maintaining our key contacts on a daily basis, one is responsible for collecting the latest information related to Xinshi's business, and one is responsible for handling some... um, sensitive matters."

The new vice president gradually found his way. He no longer took the pressure of this conversation to heart, but instead developed his own blueprint entirely from a business perspective.

"As for the establishment of the public relations department, Chan, I may not be very proficient in this matter, but I can share some observations from my experience working at Disney. Disney's public relations department is composed of three types of people. One type is people who have held important positions in the government. They either join Disney after retirement or join Disney after having no hope of promotion. In short, this group of people have worked in the public sector before, and they are necessary people.

The second type of people are friends of certain key figures. This type of people has a higher turnover rate. We often hire them for one or two years and let them leave when the job is over. Their salaries may be higher than some senior executives, but this is legal.

The third type of people are the specific business managers. Although they do not have the experience and special connections within the functional departments, they are often the core of the public relations department, and specific work always needs to be done by someone.

If Xinshi intends to formally establish a reliable corporate relations and public relations department, it will require scientific planning. I can't do it alone, and I may need you or Ms. Temir to give me more guidance. "

The vice president said a lot, but the focus was on the last sentence.

"Hahaha, sure, sure, Benny. It was right to invite you here in the first place. Just follow your ideas and find some people first. I'm looking forward to what changes you can make for the New Times."

Seeing that Cheng Daiqi recognized his abilities, Benny stopped hiding the question and asked directly.

"I have established contact with the head of Mike Pompeo's office in Washington. Do you have any further requests for this work?"

Capital feeds politicians, which is the default way of playing in America. Benny does not feel any psychological pressure for his actions, he just regrets that he cannot do better.

A new capital group is rising, and he is fortunate to join it and become one of the key figures. This is much better than being an aide to some working emperor.

"Washington should just maintain the status quo. We don't have any key interests there at the moment. What happened in California can be resolved in California."

Benny guessed that what Cheng Zong mentioned as "what happened in California" probably refers to the BEC investigation, and the fact that Nancy and Niu Sen, two big bosses of the California gang, came to visit him in person also shows Cheng Zong's strength in California.

The vice president was somewhat disappointed.

He and Mr. Cheng met at Gru's wedding. Now, Gru has changed from a sheriff to Mr. Cheng's subordinate and his colleague, while Mr. Cheng has become one of the most prominent capital tycoons in California.

Capital has never referred to the amount of money, but rather a kind of production relationship. The power built by President Cheng can influence the state pastor in California, control immigration, and have support from many parties in between.

Judging from the construction of relationship network and the extension of power system, Mr. Cheng is not much weaker than those old capitalists.

“I have a more challenging task and I want you to participate, Benny. Your qualities in certain aspects are crucial, which is why we will appoint you as the vice president of Xinshi.

Mr. Crusoe, Mr. Niu Sen and I have a consensus that the prison system in San Lorenzo and even California is under too much pressure due to the long-term deterioration of public security.

From California's fiscal perspective, privatization and outsourcing of prison services is an option. The state pastor is here today to talk to us about this.

Do you know anything about the private prison industry? "

Okay, okay, Xinshi’s business can be so rich, right?
Benny suppressed the shock in his heart, thought for a few seconds, and then spoke.

“Chan, there are already several publicly traded companies in the private prison industry, but you may not know that in California, due to the Donkey Party’s own agenda and voter composition, there is a strong political group against prison privatization.

They have two representatives, one is the Politically Correct Caucus, and the other is the Donkey Party's left-wing progressives, both of whom clearly oppose the privatization of prisons. "

Cheng Daiqi nodded with satisfaction and explained.

“I know, so Nancy is here too, it’s not easy to meet our Madam Speaker.

Moreover, prison privatization is a good measure from the perspective of administrative costs, and from the perspective of improving the financial situation, we have allies, don’t we? "

"You mean?"

“Don’t think too much. Mr. Crusoe and I have set up a financing platform. I need you to help me contact some key people and convince them to participate.

Our private prison business will start in Saint-Lou, and the work in this area will be specific.
Your task is simple. To establish the public relations department of Xinshi with the goal of promoting the completion of the private prison project, you need to first build a preliminary framework to lay the foundation for future work.

On the other hand, if you sell our financing bonds, I will give you a 1% commission."

Four hundred million, one percent is four million. Benny doesn't have a big appetite, he just wants to eat a small part and be satisfied.

"Chan, I can find someone else."

“Yes, but you have to note that our financing targets are specific, which requires you to do a good job of target screening, which is not an easy task.

"If it's limited to the area of ​​Saint-Lodu, I guess it won't be too difficult, you can rest assured!" Benny assured.

"Yes, the first phase of the target is limited to Saint Luodu. We will talk about the future in the future."

Mr. Cheng replied with a smile that he liked Benny very much.

There is a reason why this guy can become Robert's aide with his extensive network of contacts. Mr. Cheng always feels comfortable when communicating with him.

After seeing Benny off, Cheng Daiqi could finally have a good chat with Mier.

“Those two bitches didn’t make any clear promises in the end, but you revealed a flaw, and it wasn’t just one flaw.

Chan, this is not your level, don't tell me it's some 'profound and elusive' trick.

We are not poor gamblers without chips. I don't like to take risks.

If we still have to take risks now, what is the point of all the efforts we have made so far?"

Temir doesn't like Cheng Zong's weak playing style. As someone who has been deeply influenced by European and American culture, there is no option of showing weakness in her behavior pattern.

"Oh, what flaws?"

Mr. Cheng poured himself a glass of white wine with a smile, then sat diagonally opposite Mi'er and asked.

"Jia is a key figure in your car manufacturing, and the investigation of Jia coincides with that of BEC. If Niu Sen and Nancy are aware of this, they will not be concerned about your use of Jia to clean up the LAPD.

Your layout in the automotive field has not even begun. If Nancy shows weakness, she will see an opportunity to blackmail you.

Finally, you asked them to take care of the new political figures you favored, which essentially put the people you secretly funded at their fingertips!"

Temir knew very well that although Niu Sen and Nancy seemed passive today, they had not made any substantial strategic mistakes at all.

Mr. Cheng is strong, but not really strong. His strength contains a clear element of weakness.

"So you figured it out too, Mi'er. Do you think Niu Sen and Nancy will figure it out?"

“Hahaha, you conceited man, Chan, do you think they will understand your sincerity?
No! They will use these as leverage to threaten you!"

Cheng Daiqi shrugged, poured a glass of wine for Mier and said with a smile.

"I don't believe it, let's wait and see."

Looking at the cup that Mr. Cheng raised, Mi'er clinked it loudly and angrily.

"I just don't understand why you would do this when we have such a big advantage."

There are also staunch hardliners in President Cheng’s faction, such as Mi’er.

Her current dissatisfaction is based on Mr. Cheng’s compromising behavior.

From her perspective, Mr. Cheng’s decision is simply incomprehensible!
