Chapter 306 Harmony with light
Crawford and Jolson are really inexperienced.
His status is high, and his knowledge in certain areas is at a level that Gao Yi will never be able to reach in his entire life. However, in terms of contacts outside of his public identity and the shady social practices, Gao Yi easily managed Crawford.
No one taught Gao Yi these things, but after he had more contact with super-rich people like Shaman and Khaled who held the real power of life and death, he learned them by osmosis. So, talent is important, but platform is more important.
Crawford was greedy for money and lustful, so Gao Yi only used a little force and knocked Crawford down with just one move.
Those in a higher position cannot say thank you when they receive benefits from others.
After saying thank you, Crawford was pinned in the bottom position and had no chance of turning over.
Crawford couldn't help but say thank you. He didn't realize there was anything wrong. He temporarily withdrew his thoughts from Lucy's face and put them all on the black card in his hand. He couldn't help but say, "But this money..."
"Of course the money is safe. It's a Swiss bank account with an anonymous account. The account number is the number on the card and the password is on the back. This card is equivalent to 10 million U.S. dollars in cash. Also, even if the United States starts checking Swiss bank information in the future, the money will belong to someone who has nothing to do with you."
Hearing this, Crawford's face darkened slightly, and he whispered: "I know everything about money laundering and hiding of illegal funds. I have dealt with a lot of them. What I mean is..."
If the money was not in his name, what was the point of holding a card? Crawford began to feel that holding the money was not so secure.
It’s not that I don’t dare to accept it, but even if I accept it, I feel like it doesn’t belong to me.
Gao Yi would certainly dispel Crawford's concerns. He said calmly, "It's just for the convenience of handover. You can transfer the money to other safe accounts. It's also okay to deposit it in your own name. You can do it at any time. You can transfer the money to your personal account now. It's up to you."
There was no change in Gao Yi's tone of voice when he spoke, nor did he show any disdain for Crawford. However, no expression was the biggest expression.
Gao Yi looked at his watch and whispered, "If you want Bitcoin, that's fine, but many of us don't trust this new thing with extremely high volatility, so we have been using bank accounts to distribute dividends or transfer benefits. After all, it's impossible to really use cash."
I don’t know if Crawford can understand what Gao Yi is hinting at, which is that I’m wasting my time explaining these things to you and guaranteeing these things to you, which is simply... just a waste of my time.
Crawford probably didn't understand, but he was very excited about the information that Gao Yi inadvertently revealed, which was that he might receive a lot of money in the future.
"Bitcoin is good, but you're right, I prefer the traditional way."
Crawford began to smile. He said calmly, "I have two children. My eldest son just entered Harvard this year. His tuition for one year is $90,000. He is a very good child, but his tuition makes me feel very stressed."
Gao Yi felt uncomfortable because the only meaning of saying these things at this time was to ask for money.
"My wife unfortunately suffered from femoral head necrosis and had a hip replacement surgery last year. Fortunately, she has medical insurance, but it still left me with a bill of $16,000. If I didn't have insurance, I would have to pay $460,000. It's unbelievable that a hip surgery costs $160,000, and the subsequent rehabilitation treatment is even more expensive. Can you imagine my expression when I saw the bill?"
Gao Yi made a polite gesture of sympathy.
Crawford continued to chatter on: "My second son attends the best aristocratic school. Can you imagine that his tuition for an eighth grader is $120,000 a year? Frankly speaking, I regret my decision very much. It puts too much financial pressure on me."
Ninety thousand, one hundred and twenty thousand, and besides, does Crawford's wife want four hundred and sixty thousand or sixteen thousand?
Gao Yi thought that Crawford was talking about this to ask him for money, but after just getting 10 million, he still had to say this, which was a bit greedy.
Gao Yi's evaluation of Crawford dropped another level.
But he had no choice but to express his opinion, so Gao Yi said calmly: "These are nothing, this little money..."
Gao Yi wanted to say, "I'll pay you this little bit of money," but he didn't expect that Crawford would excitedly say, "Yes! This little bit of money is nothing! With this 10 million, all my financial pressure will be relieved!"
It turns out that the poor people cheered because the pressure was relieved after they suddenly became rich?
Is Crawford so honest?
Gao Yi was very surprised, and then he looked at Crawford who was trying to suppress his excitement and said calmly: "I don't have to worry about money anymore! My annual salary after tax is $180,000, which is indeed a high income, but it is indeed very stressful to maintain a high standard of living. But now!"
Taking a deep breath, Crawford said in a deep voice: "I am free from the pressure!"
That's it?
Gao Yi pondered for a moment and smiled, "Let me remind you, Mr. Charles, this is just the beginning. This is just a small gift from me. The real money-making process has not started yet."
Crawford nodded and said, "Yeah, it hasn't started yet."
After saying that, Crawford looked around and finally realized that he was in the square, so he immediately said, "Let's officially get started. Well, Jolson has already introduced the situation to you."
"He did, but it wasn't particularly clear. I felt he wasn't being honest enough. Of course, that's normal, after all, we still don't know each other well enough."
Gao Yi just glanced at Qiao Ersen calmly and continued: "Then how can we enter into in-depth cooperation?"
"To show my sincerity, I will give you a safe identity first. The Warhammer Mercenary Group will be the CIA's secret agent from today on. The leader is Wind Knight, that is, you. Do you want to keep your biological information with the CIA, or not?"
Gao Yi asked curiously, "Bioinformation?"
"It's like this. In any country's intelligence agency, the information of moles is top secret, and our agents' identities are of course kept secret. The identities of some field agents who are carrying out secret missions are also top secret. So how do we prove that they are indeed CIA agents? The simplest and most direct way is to keep a DNA file from the beginning of the mission to prove that this person is a CIA field agent and that he is carrying out CIA's top secret missions. All of this will be included in the file."
After a brief explanation, Crawford smiled and said, "You must know this, right? So the safest way is for you to keep a copy of your biometric information. This way, no matter what happens in the future, at least you can prove that you are our informant, um, the executor of a top-secret mission."
Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "So what top-secret mission should I be the executor of?"
"This can be tailor-made for you. For example, if you have a close relationship with Saudi Arabia, we can make a plan to send you undercover in Saudi Arabia. The better you do in Saudi Arabia, the more successful our plan will be. Of course, I'm just giving an example. It can also be other tasks, such as you being responsible for finding out the backers of Khalid's armed forces." Crawford waved his hand and said, "It all depends on the needs."
Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "Don't keep any biological information. As long as no one can easily find out my background, I will be satisfied."
"I can't guarantee other units, but from now on, the CIA and the dark web will definitely not be able to find any information about the Warhammer Mercenaries."
It's worth buying this for 10 million.
What’s funny is that Gao Yi doesn’t take money seriously. He is willing to spend 10 million just to make a good impression.
Crawford didn't take helping to conceal his identity seriously, because it was something that the big boss behind him could do easily. He could do it as soon as he thought about it.
What you don't care about are what the other party cares about the most, and then both parties are extremely satisfied and feel that this is a particularly good deal.
Crawford checked his watch and saw that five minutes had passed.
Crawford said anxiously, "I'm sorry, but this meeting can't last too long. I have to go back soon, so our meeting this time is to show our sincerity and willingness to cooperate. As for the specific details, you still have to discuss it with Jolson."
"sure, no problem."
Crawford put down his hand and spoke faster, "It is important to solve the problem of wind protection as soon as possible. I hope you are prepared. After all, this is also your biggest threat."
To protect against wind, you just need to solve the problem of free wind.
In fact, Gao Yi really didn't care about this, but he was definitely very serious and said: "Of course, I will solve it as soon as possible. Please give me the information as soon as possible so that I can develop a targeted solution."
"Yes, it will be soon."
After that, Crawford stared at Lucy for the third time. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said, "This lady is..."
"My assistant, my woman."
He originally planned to just say "assistant", but looking at Crawford's eyes, Gao Yi naturally added "my woman".
Crawford seemed a little regretful, but he immediately said sincerely: "Sometimes, I really envy you...your kind of life."
Did you see that the beautiful woman couldn’t walk?
Gao Yi said calmly: "Men all like beautiful women. The good news is that men and women all like money."
Crawford couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, yes, that's it. Sorry, I have to leave first, but if you are not in a hurry to leave, I hope to arrange a goodbye as soon as possible. Oh, sorry, can we exchange phone numbers? This is my personal number."
Before Gao Yi could express his opinion, Crawford took out a note with a number written on it.
This is a very formal statement, which means that you can contact me directly at any time if you have any questions in the future.
Gao Yi did not prepare a note because he was not used to such an old-fashioned method.
"I'll call you, it's a safe number, feel free to contact me."
Gao Yi put the note away and did not return a business card or note.
Crawford didn't say much. He glanced at Lucy again quickly and stealthily, then said, "I have to leave. Goodbye, thank you, and goodbye."
After shaking hands again, Crawford turned and left in a hurry. Then Jolson came over from a distance of four or five meters away. When he got to Gao Yi, he whispered, "He was hesitant the whole time until ten minutes before meeting you. He finally made up his mind. The reason he made up his mind was that I told him that you would definitely have a generous gift. Now it seems that he is very satisfied."
Gao Yi was surprised and asked, "You didn't tell him in advance that there would be a $10 million gift?"
Qiao Ersen sighed and said, "I didn't say it, because if he heard the number of 10 million, he might be scared. In fact, I didn't expect you to really give 10 million. I hinted that it should be at least a few hundred thousand, which already made him very tempted."
What could Gao Yi say? No wonder Crawford lost his composure like that. It turned out that he was not mentally prepared.
"Why is he in such a hurry to go back?"
"I don't know, but he must have taken some safety precautions, and now he urgently needs to go back and cancel them. Also, he must be in a hurry to report to the deputy director."
Joelson finished speaking, and then he suddenly sighed and said, "To be honest, well, I am... quite disappointed with him now. I feel that he is not as powerful as I thought before."
Another person who has the idea of replacing someone else.
But what's the problem with this? Kings, princes, generals and ministers are all born with a special kind of talent. When they see an opportunity, they want to replace their superiors. This is normal and worth cultivating.
They have all gone with the flow. No, they have become one with the dust. If Martin can do it, if Greens can do it, then Jolson can also quickly climb up.
Gao Yi patted Qiao Ersen's arm and said, "I know what you are thinking. In a few years, believe me, you are already on the fast track. In a few years, your position will be higher than his."
