Firepower is king

It's unclear how Eric will react, but at least he doesn't come out laughing.

You can now choose to live the way you like. When Eric is at home, he obviously doesn't have to wear formal clothes. However, when the highlight comes, Eric is wearing a suit and even a tie.

You must know that it is after ten o'clock in the evening. If Eric is not about to go out and attend a very formal occasion or attend an important meeting, then he is waiting for the highlight.

"Long time no see, Mr. Eric, I'm sorry to bother you so late."

"You really should have come earlier. I have been waiting for you for a long time, and I thought you would come to me first."

Eric replied to Gao Guang in a nonchalant manner. At first glance, it sounded like he was replying to Gao Guang, but when he thought about it more carefully, it turned out that he was complaining that Gao Guang should have come to him first instead of going to Simmons.

The highlight pointed at Otto and said: "My teacher."

He didn't say his name or where he came from, he just said teacher. But Eric politely stretched out his hand to shake Otto's hand, and without any unnecessary communication, he stretched out his hand and said: "Please sit down."

Texans are very typical of farms. The living room in a farm is very typical. It looks relatively simple and has a strong country style. But if you knew how much the thin-looking leather sofa was worth, most people would be shocked. .

Otto sat aside silently, while Gao Guang and Eric sat opposite each other across a low table.

Eric spread his hands and said calmly: "The gun after you fired it does feel great. It shoots more accurately and moves more smoothly. It is by no means a psychological effect, but it is really effective, so I have been doubting you. Does it really have any magical power?"

Gao Guang smiled and said: "I have divine power, but it's not me who has the divine power, but a series of rituals. According to us Chinese people, this is called Dharma."

"No, you must have some kind of magical power, and it's not limited to shooting."

He started with a gun, but after only two sentences, Eric brought the topic to the point. Although the transition is a little too fast, it is very smooth.

Eric leaned forward slightly, and then he said seriously: "If you don't have some magical power, how can you save Smith?"

Is it so direct? But it’s better to be more direct. Gao Guang still likes this about Texans. It’s simple and direct. It’s much better than rambling on and on for a long time before getting to the point.

Eric is direct and his highlights are not ambiguous. The little friendship he has has already made Eric finish.

, then he doesn’t have to hide anything anymore.

"There is no magical power. It's just that I have made some friends in the past two years and worked for some big guys. Smith was kind to me and I had to repay him, so I set up a bridge to help Mr. Smith." If you are busy, you can also get some benefits by helping your friends.”

Frankness, radical honesty.

Pride, but also extreme pride.

Translated, Gao Guang’s attitude is that you don’t have to talk about supernatural powers. I am not a mysterious superhero. I just met some powerful bosses in the past two years. I was acting as a white glove for them. After I found out that Smith fell into a trap, After reaching the desperate situation, he immediately took action to give Smith a hand.

No matter whose power he borrowed from, Gao Guang's meaning was obvious, that is, he had a strong backer, so he thought Smith had been saved.

To extend it further, Gao Guang came today to inform Eric, not to beg Eric.

This conversation seems very direct, but in fact it is more implicit, because Eric and Simmons are different and their styles are different.

To put it simply, Simmons is more shameless and deliberately shows that he does not follow etiquette rules at all, while Eric is now showing that he will negotiate according to basic business etiquette.

But this is just the beginning. What Eric's attitude will be needs to be discussed further to determine.

Eric looked at the highlight seriously for a while, and then he smiled and said, "Smith is lucky to have a friend like you."

"I am lucky to have met Mr. Smith. Without him, I would not be where I am today."

Gao Guang had a humble look on his face. When Eric started to praise him, although he did not belittle Smith, he actually had this meaning. So Gao Guang immediately praised Smith. Also, he also brought his own status with him. For a moment, because he wants to do badly, he is obviously not worthy of being mentioned today.

Every sentence is very simple, but every sentence contains a lot of meaning. Gao Guang doesn't even know if Eric can understand what he says, but as long as he feels that Eric has something to say, then he will definitely You have to catch it and return it.

Otto raised his eyelids. He was a little surprised because he had rarely seen Gao Guang be so aggressive when talking to others.

Although I didn’t raise my voice, there wasn’t a single curse word, and I didn’t

There is a gun and a stick, but the way Gao Guang responds is full of aggression.

Not letting those in a position of authority dictate the direction of the conversation is being aggressive.

If you don’t believe it, just try to guide the topic when talking to the leader.

Eric seemed a little uncomfortable. He smiled, raised his hand, and after thinking for too long but still had nothing to say, he suddenly said: "Would you like something to drink? I don't drink coffee at night, but I will Are you interested in drinking less hard liquor and occasionally drinking some red wine?”

Stopping the conversation and asking what to drink instead showed that Eric didn't know what to say because he couldn't dominate the conversation.

So asking the two of them what they wanted to drink meant that Eric was at a disadvantage in the confrontation of just two sentences. He had not completely failed, but the situation was very unfavorable.

Gao Guang smiled and said, "Then let's have a glass of red wine."

Otto nodded and spoke for the first time, saying: "Give me a glass of water."

Eric nodded, and then when he raised his voice and ordered, Gao Guang suddenly said: "Mr. Smith is in trouble. I wonder what Mr. Eric thinks?"

Gao Guang began to take the initiative, and now he began to dominate the topic, without giving Eric a chance to buffer, and directly asked the core questions as soon as he started.

Do you mean it on purpose, or on purpose, or on purpose?

Eric fell into silence, but it didn't last long. Then he suddenly raised his head and said in a very sure tone: "I didn't know beforehand."

Ask directly, and the answer will be straightforward.

Gao Guang spread his hands and said: "No offense, but I just want to know Mr. Eric's opinion on this matter."

It means that I didn't say whether you did it, nor did I ask you whether you knew it beforehand. I didn't believe you if you said you didn't know, so I just asked you for your opinion, and asking for your opinion means how you want to solve it.

Be aggressive and show no mercy.

Eric can turn his back and chase people away, he can say how he plans to solve it, or he can ask Gao Guang what he thinks. In short, Eric's coping skills correspond to different choices, but no matter what he says, Gao Guang must have a way to deal with it. .

If you fall out, you will fall out and say how he plans to solve it. That means Eric admits it, sets out his own conditions for solving it, and asks Gao Guang what he thinks. That is asking Gao Guang how he plans to solve it. A path can be drawn out.

In short, there are many choices, just look at Eli

How do you plan to choose?

But to Gao Guang's surprise, Eric once again said seriously: "I didn't know beforehand. I just got a promise from the congressman afterwards to give me half of the promise."

After speaking seriously, Eric leaned back, waved his hand and said: "I have known Smith for many years, and we have a good relationship. From a friend's point of view, I don't want anything to happen to him. From a business point of view, "Go ahead, I won't seek his property, but from a practical point of view, when he has been eaten by the congressman, I don't mind taking the piece of meat that the congressman has cut and sent over."

Smith was just a piece of meat, which was cut into several pieces by Senator Simmons and then given to several people who were qualified to share the meat.

After finishing speaking, Eric said calmly: "There is no need for me to throw the cut steak on the ground, and there is no need or responsibility to take out the fat cut steak from the wolf's mouth. You ask me Opinion, that’s my opinion.”

After Eric finished speaking, Gao Guang thought for a while and said: "I think your opinion is right, but there is a small mistake, that is, there is a difference between steaks and prey. Steaks are steaks, while prey may be with Thorny Porcupine.”

"Of course, predators sometimes misjudge, but I don't think the predator misjudged anything this time. You said that porcupine is not a steak, I admit it, but if you say that Smith is a porcupine, I don't agree with it. I feel that Smith is more like a sheep wandering on the grassland. He thinks he has no owner, but in fact he does. After killing this sheep, it will be troublesome for the owner to come to ask for compensation. "

The highlights don't allow Eric to compare Smith to a sheep.

But just when Gao Guang wanted to refute, Eric said with a serious face: "A sheep is a sheep, and a sheep will be eaten if it mixes with the wolves. He may mistakenly think that he is also a wolf, or he may think that he is also a wolf. A wolf in sheep’s clothing becomes a companion.”

The conversation full of metaphors was a bit difficult. Eric seemed tired of such conversations. He began to shake his head and said: "Okay, since you have come to me, then I will just tell you. If it is to Smith, then I Giving him a month's delay in paying the compensation is the limit, but if you can get rid of the congressman, then I can give up the benefits."

Eric crossed his hands and made a sign of termination. Then he spread his hands and said: "I am not a greedy person. Again, I don't need or look down on Smith's wealth. I just didn't refuse the gift from others." Steaks coming to your door, now, based on the real risks, I give up all the benefits that I don’t and shouldn’t get, that’s it, this is my opinion, my answer.”
