America started its counterattack from the bum

Chapter 434 Loyalty?

"The possibility of inheriting the largest political faction in America? What does that mean?"

Cheng Daiqi smiled and said.

"Wolf wants to marry, and I picked the commander-in-chief's second daughter as his partner. What do you think of this move?"

The black-haired rich woman raised her eyebrows. This move was not just a good one, but everything has two sides. Mi'er instantly realized the crux of the problem.

"It stinks! Chan, he's a gay, there's no way he can inherit the MAGA faction, those rednecks won't have any good feelings towards gays!"

Niu Sen, Wolfe and Mier all noticed this.

But Mr. Cheng’s opinion is completely opposite to theirs.

There is a philosophy in the world that believes first, then see.

Many things do not have so many insurmountable obstacles. Subjective fear of difficulties often increases the estimate of objective difficulties, which is not a good mentality.

“Times are changing, Honey, Wolfe is only in his early thirties, and when he truly steps into the spotlight of power, these problems will not be an obstacle.

The agendas of both the Democratic and Democratic parties are constantly changing. During the last election, our respected president did not ignore the support of the LGBT community and even raised the rainbow flag.

Besides, who can prove that Wolfe is gay? I can also say that the commander-in-chief is secretly gay, will anyone believe it? "

Cheng Daiqi hesitated for a moment, but considering his relationship with Mi'er, he didn't care anymore.

"Finally, there is one reason that cannot be told to outsiders. Mi'er, you should understand people like Wolfe. He has political ambitions.

For now, it is worth it if we follow his ambitions, give him support, and get his help.

As for whether or not to fulfill the promise in the end and to what extent it should be fulfilled, it is a very complicated matter.

Don’t let the difficulties that are too far away affect your current steps. "

Temir was very calm about Mr. Cheng’s explanation.

"Every choice has a price, and short-term interests and long-term interests may conflict with each other.

Besides, gossiping is playing with fire, and we don’t need to play with fire, Chan.”

"Playing with fire? Ha, Mi'er, I just told those two civil servants that the private prison project will be operated as a non-profit in the name of Xinshi.

Of course Benny had described to them the prospect of taking the private prison project public, so why didn't they question my obvious mistake?
Because the benefits are limited, they are eager for opportunities!
Yes, America has enough money, and once the Federal Reserve's printing press starts, a steady stream of cash will be produced.

But people’s pursuit of personal interests is endless, and unlimited greed will lead to never-ending competition.

I wasn’t afraid of competing with others for profits in the past, I’m not afraid now, and I won’t be afraid in the future!”

President Cheng has taken down Niu Sen, the powerful governor of the largest state in the United States; President Cheng has also taken down Wolf, a super-rich man who is powerful enough to challenge his position.

If Mr. Cheng cannot convince Mi'er of her doubts, he might as well go back to his hometown and grow sweet potatoes!
But even though President Cheng said such harsh words, Mi'er didn't react at all. She just sat there lazily, looking at him straight as if she was looking at a idiot.

Seeing this, Cheng Daiqi stood up. He did not wave his arms - that would be too deliberate. Instead, he paced to show some potential resistance to pressure.

"I plan to finish the BEC matter first. As long as the California gang takes action, we will clean up this longest front first.

Get Jia out of jail, let BEC's market value soar to tens of billions again, and realize the interest promise with Niu Sen, so as to encourage him to help us deal with Garcetti in San Lorenzo, and of course, by the way, we can also push the progress bar of the private prison project forward. "

After saying that, Cheng Daiqi looked at Mier.

The black-haired wealthy woman nodded slightly and said.

"I've seen you wearing this outfit several times. Do you like their style?"

what?
Mr. Cheng was a little confused.

"Didn't you hear me?"

Temir blinked, and her beautiful lake blue eyes were full of smiles. The girl teased.

"I heard you. I support your decision. We can afford to lose anyway. So, do you like their style?"

Now, it's Cheng's turn to be the clown.

He shook his head and sighed.

"I've been in contact with people like Niu Sen and Wolfe a lot recently. I was influenced by them and regarded you as a problem that needs to be 'solved'. Ha, Mi'er, I was stupid."

The black-haired rich woman pointed at herself with two fingers and continued to tease in a surprised manner.

"Honey, how are you going to solve this problem for me?"

Unlike Wolfe and Niu Sen, she never wanted huge benefits. Her greed was limited to achieving great things.

Love is a vague feeling that cannot be confirmed. Looking at Mi'er whose eyes are filled with him, Mr. Cheng feels the real love.

"Isn't Xinshi doing well recently?"

The tigress is most terrifying when she smiles, Mr. Cheng said hesitantly.

"Humph, Lisa is now more powerful than me. You two have almost sidelined me by joining forces. Is this considered good?"

The black-haired rich woman pressed on step by step, with no intention of letting Mr. Cheng go.

She is the chairman of the board of directors of Xinshi, and has two specific responsibilities: to deal with shareholders and to manage OC. As for accusing Lisa and President Cheng of sidelining her, it is purely an emotional outburst.

We are all close partners with shared interests. At most, Lisa is more independent than before. How could we kick her out to work alone?

"You are more concerned about OC's affairs, so Lisa will naturally share more of the group's work. Mi'er, do you have any ideas?"

When the interests are too great, you cannot be too subjective and ignore the demands of your partners.

Show respect first, and we can talk about the specific steps later.

As for whether Mr. Cheng is sincere?

This kind of question is too idealistic. In fact, Mr. Cheng has never been unfair to Mi'er.

"I want to buy a bank, what do you think?"

Temir made a request that Cheng Daqi had never expected. Cheng Daqi was stunned for a moment and replied.

"Which bank? How much money is needed for the acquisition?"

“Royal Caribbean Bank has a net asset of around $7 billion and its shares are relatively concentrated.

The point is that its major shareholder family is facing a complicated inheritance distribution situation and needs to cash out, which is estimated to cost about 2 billion.

It has branches in three cities on the West Coast, six branches in other parts of the United States, and more than 40 branches in Mexico and Central America. It is quite large.”

Caribbean Royal Bank sounds like an online gambling website with a different skin.

However, Mr. Cheng understands that the name is not important; what matters is the size of the bank.

"What about the net assets of $7 billion and the liabilities?"

"From their financial statements, their debt is over 110 billion, which is slightly high, but still normal."

Cheng Daqi thought about it and gave his opinion. "We do have the need to get some platform-type central institutions, but now is not a good time. Xinshi has not stabilized yet, so let's wait a little longer.

My Shanhaiguan is preparing for listing, its car-making project has just started, OC's shift to the left has just begun, MAS is also in a period of rapid expansion, and Xizhou's debt problem is still under great pressure.

By next year or the year after, when these businesses and companies are straightened out, it will be very easy to acquire a bank with billions of dollars, and there will be more options.

When the time comes, we’ll buy a big one.”

It is now 2019. Buying a bank now is roughly equivalent to joining the country or the military in .

Besides, Mr. Cheng does not think that it is a wise decision to use large sums of money to acquire certain targets whose balance sheets are of questionable reliability.

The best strategy is to let the big waves hit first, kill a group of problematic ones, and then purchase them.

The black-haired rich woman nodded slightly. Buying a bank is not like asking Wolfe, a street vendor, for support. Such a major decision requires a cautious process.

“Chan, although I trust you very much, you just mentioned the change in OC’s marketing philosophy that leans left in terms of publicity.

Can you tell me the truth, that is, you thought about today at that time? "

Mi'er's big eyes were full of curiosity, she really wanted to know the answer to this question.

But President Cheng is such a jerk. Mi'er saw with her own eyes how he made a bunch of smart people go around in circles, so she was worried that President Cheng would fool her.

Brother, can you please tell me the truth?

This is not too much to ask, please.

At this moment, Mr. Cheng even felt like crying but had no tears.

Sister-in-law, you don’t trust me at all!
"You actually know the situation in America better than I do, Mi'er. From the perspective of industrial development and future opportunities, the projects that entrepreneurs like us can participate in are actually very limited.

I started out by making short videos, which was an opportunity in a new industry, and there weren’t many of them, so I later set my sights on cryptocurrency and founded LCE and BEC.”

"Does this have anything to do with my problem?" Mier asked speechlessly.

“It does matter. When the newly wealthy develop to a certain level, they will inevitably need to take sides in the American political agenda. Politics is a continuation of the economy.

Among the political factions in the United States, you come from a wealthy family in the Elephant Party and you already have enough resources in the Elephant Party. So should we contact the Donkey Party?

This is not because I have foreseen it, but it should have been so. As for the current complicated situation, it can only be said to be a coincidence."

Mr. Cheng’s explanation was clear and logical, but Mi’er’s response made him even more helpless.

"Really? I don't believe it?

Also, Niu Sen has been driven to that point by you, is it necessary for us to let OC take a biased stance?"

Prejudice, absolutely prejudice!

The governor and I are obviously friends with mutual benefits. Why would there be any motivation?
“.Yes, topicality means exposure, and free traffic is still needed.”
-
Burns was summoned by Lake again.

This time, the LAPD chief's attitude toward him changed drastically.

Sheriff Lake smiled at this close subordinate.

"The immigration case is up to you, Burns, but the BEC thing needs to be settled—get bail for that guy."

what?
Burns almost lived in Bengbu.

Brother, what you mean is that my suggestion of you to be a pawn to fight against Jax seems to be of no use at all?

He finally understood why Lake was so nice. This guy was disposable.
"Don't think too much. The BEC issue is more complicated than you think. Mayor Garcetti doesn't want to be too involved. If we resolve it sooner, we will be under less pressure and have more energy to deal with internal problems."

The Sheriff's vision is naturally higher than that of the Inspector, and Lake understands Burns' concerns.

Lake poured Burns a cup of coffee, walked to the sofa in the meeting area, and motioned for Burns to sit down.

Burns breathed a sigh of relief, sat down, and said.

"Yes, Mr. Sheriff, the immigration case."

Lake listened carefully to Burns' report on the latest case and nodded at last.

"I support your idea. Don't worry. After talking with Mayor Garcetti this time, he agreed that I can recruit a few reliable people from the state police to the LAPD. There will be no problems with the procedures.

It will be much easier to deal with those left behind by Gru in the future, and I look forward to your continued contribution to the fair and transparent reform of the LAPD."

Only then did Burns understand why Lake's attitude changed drastically today. This was because he had received real support from Garcetti.

Lake was transferred from the California State Police to become the LAPD chief of police. He was an airborne leader. Even with the support of Garcetti, he was still walking on thin ice because Gru's people were too powerful.

Burns created an immigration case, and Lake was so shocked and angry that he almost slapped Burns twice.

Now that the situation has changed, Lake naturally has to appease his previous extreme attitude, including the promises and support just now, which are all a kind of appeasement.

Burns had more on his mind.

Personnel is politics.

From then on, Lake gained more "independence" under Garcetti.

Former Sheriff Gru almost turned the LAPD into a private kingdom. Garcetti finally sent Gru away, and the control over Lake became much stricter.

If you think about it in a darker way, Lake is obviously under pressure because of the anti-climax of the BEC case. Garcetti's loosening of the leash can also be seen as a "comfort" to Lake.

Garcetti gives Lake dog food, and Lake paints a rosy picture for Burns. This is how politics works. Everyone has a bright future.

"Mr. Lake, thank you for your support and affirmation. I..."

Burns held his head high and chest out, showing his loyalty with full energy and firm stance.

Yilin said that America has its own national conditions.

The fact of America says that even if Hawking came, he would stand up and toast.
-
For some people, loyalty is table stakes.

But for others, loyalty itself is part of the reward.

From a utilitarian point of view, the former seems to be more "smart", but the latter is often the mainstream force that shapes history.

Interests can buy the loyalty of a small number of people, but the support of the people is the greatest force for change.

Huth belongs to neither the former nor the latter.

He is a bureaucrat.

No matter how great the benefits are, they cannot gain his eternal loyalty 100%, and no matter how noble the beliefs are, they cannot move his cold and cruel heart.

Bureaucrats are a special group. They rely on the organization for their existence and are only responsible for their position - either to the upper level, to the lower level, or to the financial backers. In short, they are only responsible for their position.

"Gru, this is the first time I meet you. I didn't expect you to give me such a difficult problem."

In the bar in Saint-Lodo, ​​Hutt, who had come all the way from Washington to keep the appointment, put down his glass and stared at Gru with a condescending look.

Just like Gru looked at Will, the deputy director of Forberau was exercising his power.
