Chapter 114
The adult world is always about interests.
This is clearly demonstrated in Odaiba. From beginning to end, his view of the Kingpin has never changed. No matter how decorated or wealthy he is, he will never be on the stage.
It is arrogance engraved in the bones.
But at some point, he would rein in his arrogance and face it with a warm and equal attitude.
But once he loses his use value, his arrogance will show up again.
There is no doubt that Odaiba is still in the convergence stage.
Kingpin also had values that made him worthy of attention.
Kingpin is not stupid, of course he understands this, but what is better than Odaiba is that he can also pretend and even tolerate it. The reason is that Odaiba does not want him to enter the circle of the real upper class, but The interests behind Odaiba are worth it.
This is how two hypocritical people started testing and trading.
"Mr. Odaiba, as a major shareholder of a world-class military industrial group, it is an honor for me to meet such a big man."
"Even big people need friends. 123 I believe we will become good friends."
The two clinked a glass.
After taking a polite sip, Kingpin showed surprise at the right time:"The mellow taste is really incredible."
"Whiskey, British Islay whiskey limited edition, its value is six million US dollars."
Odaiba said lightly, also showing his energy in some aspects.
After all, this level of wine can not only be purchased with money, but what he needs more is the energy and connections behind it. Jinpin also understands , immediately said with a smile:"If I can drink such wine, I believe I will have a good dream tonight."
After he finished speaking, he snapped his fingers, and a man who looked like a butler not far away came over with an exquisite tray.
Jinpin picked up a gold foil cigar from the exquisite cigarette case placed on the tray and handed it to Ou Daiba.
After the latter's results, he glanced at it with no trace of gloom in his eyes, but then disappeared. He smiled happily and said:"Produced by the Gurkha Cigar Company, each one sells for up to 1.36 million U.S. dollars, and each one is ( dacd) is handmade from the finest raw materials, using rare Himalayan tobacco, wrapped in gold foil and set with a 5-carat diamond as a label, and then infused with Remy Martin's black pearl Louis XIII"
"During the production process, all craftsmen are required to work blindfolded to avoid distractions to ensure the best quality and perfect quality."
It seems that after sighing, he took his time and allowed the person behind him to burn the tobacco stems.
In fact, for ordinary cigars, you need to cut off the cap by an inch, but this does not need to be done, and this process is omitted.
Wait until the tobacco stems are burnt black, After Odaiba blew a few blows, he took it into his mouth and took a sip, then spit it out, looking like he was enjoying it.
"It's perfect."
Kingpin laughed loudly after hearing this, and after going through the same process with Odaiba, he held it in his mouth. Compared with Odaiba's upper-class temperament, Jinpin was more like a gangster. The big boss only wore a scarf and a round hat.
While puffing away the smoke, the two fell into a brief silence.
But in fact, both sides knew what the other was thinking.
This process of testing was not what it looked like on the outside. It seemed friendly, but Odaiba took the lead and gained the dominant right to speak, but Jin did not cooperate at all and threw a card with his backhand.
The two people's discourse status returned to a balanced state.
However, after only a brief confrontation, the two had a tacit understanding. It did not continue, because the two parties were just confirming whether the other party was a fool during the process.
Now that he had realized this, Odaiba stopped talking nonsense.
He took out the cigar from his mouth, blew out a puff of smoke, and held the cigar in the ashes. After flicking the cylinder, he said calmly:"Mr. Philson, you know my identity, and I also know your identity. I believe we will have a common topic."
"I just don’t know if you are interested in Stark Group arms?"
"What did Odaiba say? I am a serious businessman."Jinpin did not answer in a hurry, but said something hypocritical. Odaiba was not moved by this sentence, and he just waited calmly for the next words.
Sure enough, after a pause in his tone, Jinpin stared at Odaiba with burning eyes. Ba, leaned forward slightly and continued:"I want to gain Mr. Odaiba's friendship."
"friendship"Odaiba leaned on the chair and looked at Kingpin with an expressionless face.
"There is no one who does not wish for your friendship, Mr. Odaiba. Kingpin complimented him, and then said a seemingly unrelated topic:"Perhaps you should know that the mayor of New York will leave office in four years.""
This sentence immediately made Odaiba's eyes freeze.
"Do you want to run for mayor of New York City?"
This sentence made Odaiba's heart stir. A guy from the underworld actually wants to run for mayor?
Although many things in the United States are outrageous enough, Kingpin's sexy ideas are too outrageous.
But think about it for a moment, It's almost not impossible.
Why?
Because in addition to his identity as a mafia emperor, Kingpin is also known to the public as a billionaire and a philanthropist. Every year, Kingpin spends a lot of money on charity, and he has been on news and TV stations many times.
Many New Yorkers know about Philson's identity as a great philanthropist. (To read exciting novels, go to FLU Novel Network!)
Once he is about to run for office, his identity as a philanthropist will definitely be hyped up by this guy..
Generally speaking, there are two processes for the selection of mayors, one is popular election and the other is direct appointment by the municipal committee.
The mayor born in the former has great power and has absolute executive power, the power to appoint and remove the city cabinet and the power to veto legislation.
Later The mayor is also often called the city manager. He is subject to the committee and has no absolute executive power, let alone legislative veto power.
Once Kingpin is elected as mayor, his power is not that great.
If he cooperates with his underground power, it can be said that It's black and white.
When Jin Wei said this to himself, he obviously needed the support of a person of Odaiba's level and even the interests of the people behind him, and the other party said it openly, obviously not afraid of him spreading it.
At this time, Odaiba Only then did I realize that he still underestimated the guy in front of you.
(Please give me a monthly ticket for flowers, thank you to the big guys for your support, thank you!).
