Chapter 390 Features
Gao Yi didn't want Green to know all his cards.
They are all adults, and they are in the underworld, dealing with the most treacherous and changeable group of people in the underworld. How could Gao Yi not be cautious? How could he be so foolish as to open up to others and have a heart-to-heart talk with them?
Therefore, when Gao Yi contacted his contacts to sell information, he would definitely ask Green to stay away.
Now that the talks are almost over, we can let Green come.
Inviting Green into the room, Gao Yi asked casually, "Why is the KGB so dishonest?"
Gao Yi was just curious, so he asked Green, an industry insider who knew the subject well.
But Green frowned and said, "Why are you asking this? Is there a problem with the KGB?"
"It's not that there is a problem. Well, the middleman doesn't believe that the KGB will pay him a commission, so he wants us to include his commission in the selling price."
Green was relieved, and then he said calmly: "The KGB does not have a credibility problem."
"Oh?"
“They have no credibility at all.”
"what?"
Gao Yi was puzzled and very surprised and asked: "Is the KGB's reputation so bad? Why?"
"Because...why spend money when you can just rob?"
Seeing Gao Yi still looking puzzled, Green said calmly: "Let me tell you this. To sum up the characteristics of the major intelligence agencies in one word, the UK steals, the US cheats, the East buys, and the Russia robs."
"This is the first time I've heard of this statement. Please explain it in detail."
"The British mainly obtained the same intelligence by stealing it. Of course, I am talking about the first choice, the subconscious reaction, the method that the executors prioritize, but not the only method. Do you understand this?"
"I understand. How can Britain steal? Doesn't Britain rely on robbing?"
"After World War II, Britain obtained intelligence mainly by stealing. If it could steal, it would not buy, rob, or cheat, because Britain could not promise too many benefits and could not cheat anything.
The United States is different. The United States is a superpower and a beacon of the world. CIA spies can provide a lot of intelligence as long as they wave their hands. However, Americans will not easily honor their promises. Well, they often write blank checks, but people all over the world are willing to believe their blank checks. There are too many people who have been deceived to death by Americans, so the United States lies.
The University of Tokyo buys intelligence. The University of Tokyo's military and political influence cannot compare to that of the Soviet Union and the United States, and it has no ideological appeal. Its skin color makes it difficult for it to infiltrate each other like Britain, the United States and Russia. Therefore, the University of Tokyo mainly relies on buying intelligence. Of course, this buying is not just as superficial as cash, it is just exchanging benefits for intelligence. This is buying.
Speaking of buying, the reputation of Dongda is very good. They don't buy now because they have money. Many years ago, when Dongda was the poorest and in most difficult times, they were also willing to spend money to buy. They pay very generously and are very trustworthy. There is a consensus in the industry that if your intelligence is useful to Dongda, then you are equivalent to having cash. Relying on this point, Dongda's intelligence work has always been done very well.
Russia robs. If the Russians can rob, they will never consider stealing. If they can steal, they will never consider cheating. If they can cheat, they will never consider buying. Even if they have no choice but to buy, they will lower the price. Even if the price cannot be lowered, they will find a way to get back the money they paid. This is fixed thinking, and this is the nature of the Russians.
Basically, we will not trade with the Russians. You can rob them, or be robbed by them. If that doesn’t work, you can exchange intelligence, but never think about selling it for money.”
Green finished speaking, and he said with emotion: "Based on the information you have, I don't think the Russians will buy it. They may agree to the deal, but they will definitely try to kill you and take the stuff away during the deal."
Gao Yi was very surprised and asked: "Are the Russians so dangerous?"
"You can't think of doing business with robbers, because why spend money on something you can rob?"
Gao Yi let out a long breath, and then he said in confusion: "I have dealt with the Russians, and they seem to be... okay."
"Even though we can't do business, it doesn't mean we can't do anything else. Russians are rude, reckless, arrogant, and conceited, but they are also easy to deceive. If Russians think you are a good friend, they are willing to give you everything. If Russians think you are a good target for robbery, they will look down on you, rob you of everything, and then kill you. Isn't what I said clear enough?"
Green spread his hands and said, "Russians will never be a good businessman. As long as you make money, they will feel that you are taking advantage of them. They will never understand that a fair transaction is beneficial to both parties. For Russians, it is easier to accept that you rob them than that you make money from them."
Exhaling, Green smiled and said, "People all know that the KGB has gained a lot of benefits from MI6, but they don't know how much benefits MI6 has gained from the KGB. Do you know what this is? It's about taking advantage of the Russians' psychology. You just have to make them feel that they have taken advantage."
Gao Yi spread his hands and said, "I will be more careful next time."
"In fact, it is easy to deal with Russians. Just remember one thing: Russians are the best fighters and cannon fodder in the world. If you can tolerate their rudeness and arrogance, then Russians can also become the best partners in the world."
One word from you is worth more than ten years of reading. Although Greene is talking about the group image and the stereotype, it must be admitted that there must be reasons for summarizing this group image.
Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "What about other countries? For example, what is Germany?"
"Germany is defensive. The Germans are now lucky enough to keep their secrets and intelligence from being taken away by others. Generally speaking, German intelligence agencies have always played a passive defensive role."
"What about Ah San?" Green smiled, and then he said with disdain: "Ah San is begging, begging for money. In my impression, Ah San spies are a group of beggars who can't cheat, steal or rob and can only rely on begging."
"Hahaha, beggar...where's the book?"
"The books are given away. We give whatever books the U.S. wants. If they don't give them to the U.S., we take them ourselves. There is nothing to say about books that have no independence at all."
"What about the stick?"
"Bangzi? You're asking Bangzi?"
Green seemed a little stunned. He was stunned for a while, and finally said: "If the world is a dining table, then the countries mentioned above are the people sitting at the table to eat, and Korea is a dog tied to a chair in the United States. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood……"
Gao Yi sighed and said, "Okay, so this is the world through the eyes of spies. Wait! Wait a minute, what about France?"
"You finally remembered France."
Green smiled and said: "There is no sense of existence. If you have to define France, it is waiting. The French like to wait for pie to fall from the sky and fall into their mouths."
Britain steals, America cheats, Dongda buys, Russia robs, France waits, Germany defends, Japan gives away, India asks for it, and Korea has no right to be discussed.
With this basic understanding, things will be easier.
Gao Yi said seriously: "Now that I know the style of the Russians, I know how to deal with them. I will not sell intelligence to the KGB. I will exchange with them, whether it is intelligence exchange or technology exchange. Anyway, I will not sell it, so as to avoid being targeted by the KGB and causing trouble for me."
Green said calmly: "You can use this information to exchange for the KGB's military support. As long as it doesn't involve money, they are still happy to trade with you. It depends on what you need."
Gao Yi began to wonder what else he could ask for if his deal with the KGB didn't require money.
It was at this time that Gao Yi realized that he had been a bit hasty in agreeing to give Sherkin a kickback of 10 million.
The key point is that I didn't know this problem of the Russians before. If I had known it earlier, why would he ask for 100 million? Wouldn't it be better for him to just ask for something else?
"What else can I ask the KGB for? What can I get in return?"
"You have to ask the KGB, right? You have to ask what you want. What's the point of asking me? But if I were to say, you might as well ask the KGB for some people."
"You want people? People?"
Green nodded, and then he said seriously: "The KGB has been laying off employees, transferring them to other units, or retiring them early. It is incredible for other countries to drive their own spies out to make a living, but Russia really does this. They don't care, and they can't control it. If you ask the KGB for a few people to be your killers, the KGB will really give them to you."
Gao Yi could hardly hold back from swearing, not out of anger but out of excitement.
It is said that a lean camel is bigger than a horse, but if it is really lean, no matter how big it is, it is of no use.
In fact, Gao Yi had a good impression of the Russians, but thinking back, doing business with the Russians did have the flavor that Green had said. As for the people Gao Yi knew who made a living in the underground world, whether they were selling arms or selling their lives, the focus was on selling, not buying.
"Is this even possible?"
Gao Yi scratched his head and whispered, "Let me think about it. How about we contact them first and see if there is anything we can trade before making a decision."
"Hurry up, you've already offered 100 million. It's very likely that the KGB is now considering how to snatch you away."
"You should have told me something so important earlier."
"This is all common sense. How could I know that you don't even understand this?"
At this point, Gao Yi suddenly said: "I still have to find a way to give France an explanation."
Green smiled and said with disdain: "What explanation is there? It's lost, it's lost. The French know that lost things cannot be found. What they want now is dignity and face. You have restored the dignity of the French by killing Iron Fist George. If they really wanted to avoid technology leaks, they should have contacted you to buy it back at a high price."
This seems to be the case.
There is no need to consider the feelings of the French. They have already got what they wanted and are probably celebrating with champagne right now.
