Chapter 311 Just Money
Chapter 311 Just Money
Let Jolson do his job and invite Glass to discuss countermeasures.
Glass also climbed up from the bottom, and his starting point was much lower than that of Jolson.
Jolson used to be Crawford's assistant, and Crawford had also been the head of a powerful department, so Jolson's starting point as an assistant was not low.
As for Glass, he has been transferred to several places, all of which were at the grassroots level. He couldn't even meet an official. But Glass and Martin are typical examples of people who are very capable but were hindered by the platform.
Gao Yi felt that if he wanted to come up with a clever way to deal with his boss, it had to be Glass and the others.
After explaining the current situation, especially Crawford's personality, before Gao Yi could finish his words, Glass said nervously, "That's troublesome. How come Crawford is black? You didn't tell me that at the beginning."
"Black people...don't be racist."
Glass said helplessly: "This is not discrimination, but haven't you heard that black people can't borrow money? Well, this is discrimination, but I have known since I was a child that you can't do financial transactions with black people. Black people owe money and don't pay it back!"
Gao Yi said softly, "I have already given him 10 million. Crawford is very satisfied. The main problem now is how can we get Crawford out of the way so that Jolson can directly contact Panetta."
"This is a normal relationship between superiors and subordinates. Given Panetta's status, how could he directly contact frontline agents? He can only issue orders through Crawford and want to bypass Crawford..."
Greens was thinking deeply, and Gao Yi whispered, "Yes, that's why we need a way to remove Crawford's obstacle. This is what I think. We need to make a big mistake and create a big crisis that Crawford won't dare to intervene."
"Yes, but this is a test of one's ability to withstand pressure. What if Crawford thinks he can handle it, or if he simply doesn't realize the crisis, and he doesn't report it to Panetta at all, so Panetta doesn't know what happened at all, then in the end, isn't it still stuck with Crawford?"
Gao Yi was stunned, then he nodded and said, "Yes, it is possible. What should we do? Jolson is not qualified to contact Panetta directly, and he can't contact Panetta either."
Glass suddenly said, "There is a way. This is easy to solve. If Jolson can't take the initiative to contact Panetta, then let Panetta take the initiative to contact Jolson. The method is also very simple. It requires money!"
Gao Yi was puzzled and asked, "Money? We ask Panetta for money?"
"Yes, because the hardest part of working in this system is getting funding, especially when you're on a mission in the field, you always have to have money."
Glass grinned and said, "I'm worried about how to get funding every day. It's very difficult to carry out any work without money. Well, you don't have to think about making a big mess for Crawford. Just let Jolson ask Crawford for money, a large sum of money. Crawford will definitely not be able to give it. If he can't give it, he has to apply to Panetta. This is the correct process."
"and then?"
"Then, Panetta must know what he wants the money for. He must ask clearly. No one likes to be fooled by his subordinates, so Panetta will most likely have to ask Jolson himself. This is the most reliable and safest way."
Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "How much is appropriate? It can't be too little. If it's too little, it will be troublesome for Crawford to pay for it himself."
"He pays for it himself? Haha, if your description of Crawford's performance is accurate, I'd kick his head like a ball if he's willing to pay $20,000. Believe me, if you ask for $20 million, just say that with this money you can completely wipe out Liberty Wind, and without this money you can't do it. When you ask you what you want the money for, just say it's confidential and don't tell me the reason. Crawford will get scared when he hears this number, and he will either choose to kill you immediately or report it quickly and throw the problem to Panetta to solve."
Gao Yi nodded and said, "All we need is funding. This does sound a lot simpler."
"Of course it's simple. Don't always think that you can get everything done with your own money. Also, you may think that money is not a problem, but money is always a big problem for everyone. So just follow the normal process and ask for funds from the higher-ups. Then the news will be reported to the higher-ups layer by layer, and Panetta will definitely know about it."
After that, Glass smiled and said, "Tell me now. Believe me, we can contact Panetta tonight at the earliest."
Gao Yi was entangled and said, "The original intention of this arms business we are doing now is to let the brothers make some money and drag Panetta into the water. But if we ask Panetta for money, won't this arms business be exposed? Even if we are so rich, why do we still need to ask Panetta for activity funds? It doesn't make sense, right?"
Glass looked at Gao Yi strangely and asked, "Do you like to use your own money to subsidize other people's tasks?"
Gao Yi suddenly realized.
Glass spread his hands and said, "Public affairs are public affairs, and private affairs are private affairs. Even if you have 100 billion or 1 trillion, but you help Panetta solve the Liberty Wind problem, do you have to pay for it yourself? You just told Panetta that you need 20 million before he will help you solve the Liberty Wind problem. Isn't that right? Isn't that abnormal?"
Gao Yi put himself in the position of an investor.
In other words, Gao Yi put himself in the wrong position.
In front of Crawford, Gao Yi can be the financial sponsor and sit in a high position, but in front of Panetta, he is in a lower position. Since he is in a lower position, isn't it normal for him to ask for money to do things?
Besides, Gao Yi was originally a professional killer, so it was only natural for him to take money to do the job.
"I actually forgot that I am a killer, not an arms dealer, nor an agent... I was confused!" Gao Yi called Jolson and asked him to come over quickly.
When Jolson arrived, Gao Yi said calmly, "Have you contacted Crawford?"
"I called and Crawford was very happy. He said it was very good and that you were finally making some progress."
Gao Yi waved his hand and said, "Very good, tell him that we want 20 million yuan for the event."
Jolson was stunned immediately, but before he could say anything, Glass suddenly said, "He just called Crawford, right? Then don't let him say it, you say it, you contact Crawford directly, and tell him that we are family, but Panetta is not, so you have to start working now, and you have to get Panetta to pay you."
Gao Yi nodded.
Glass continued, "When will there be a cross-level contact? Believe me, if you talk about other things, Crawford will conceal it if he can, and fight it if he can, but if you want money, his instinctive reaction is to quickly send your trouble to his superiors. If you hint that Crawford wants to give him a share of the funds, he will find a way to let Panetta contact you directly, and he will also find a way to help you ask for funds from his superiors. Believe me, just talk to him directly."
Just ask for money, it's that simple.
Jolson was not stupid, he just really lacked experience in this area. When listening to Glass's explanation to Gao Yi, he suddenly looked enlightened and said to Glass: "Yes, that's right, brother, you are awesome!"
Jolson sincerely admired Glass, his expressions were a little exaggerated and his movements didn't quite match, but his attitude made up for it.
Glass smiled and said, "Nothing much, just a few more years of experience."
Qiao Ersen said sincerely: "Brother, can you teach me more if you have the chance in the future? I don't have enough experience and ability. I really need someone as powerful as you to lead the way."
Gao Yi knew at a glance that Jolson had begun to use his power.
Feng Biao is the master's uncle, Gao Yi himself is the master, so Qiao Ersen can only be a disciple in Feng Xiangbiao's lineage. However, Qiao Ersen learns very quickly, and although there are obvious traces of routine, the effect is still good.
Glass's liking for Jolson increased greatly. He smiled and said, "We are all family. If you have any questions in the future, just ask me. I will certainly help if I can."
Gao Yi smiled and said, "Yes, we are one family. Don't talk. I'll make a phone call."
Gao Yi had Crawford's phone number, but he had never contacted Crawford on his own initiative during this period. He dialed the number now, and after waiting for a while, the call was connected.
"Hello, it's me, Wind Knight."
Crawford breathed a sigh of relief and said happily, "Hello, I finally got your call. Jolson just contacted me. Are you planning to make a big move?"
"Yes, I will show up in Baghdad to lure Free Wind here, but now there is a problem. I must have a sufficient reason to show up, right? I also need to arrange enough manpower to ambush Free Wind. Otherwise, if I just lure Free Wind out and I don't have any way to counter it, then what's the point of me exposing myself? Is it just to die?"
"Well, yes."
"But doing this requires money, a lot of money! I have found the right helper now, but I need $20 million in funding, which is the minimum. It can't be any less. If we can ask for more funding from the higher-ups, that will be our profit. I think asking for 50 million and finally getting 30 million is an acceptable number. What do you think?"
Crawford stopped talking, and Gao Yi whispered, "Please sort out the funding issue as soon as possible."
Crawford whispered, "Aren't you rich? Can you pay first..."
Gao Yi said without hesitation: "What do you think? I'm willing to spend my own money even though I'm risking my life?"
"Sorry, I just said it casually."
Crawford apologized decisively, and then he whispered: "I will apply for funding for you right away, but 20 million seems difficult to me."
"It's not 20 million. Don't you want the profit? You get 30% of the extra money."
Crawford took a deep breath, and then he whispered, "How about this, I'll contact them right away, but you may need to talk to them in person. Well, wait for my call and contact them later."
