Firepower is king

Eric is happy enough, which is in line with his usual style.

The question now is what the gain is for Eric, and if he just gives up the gain, who knows if Smith can fill the gap. The purpose of highlighting is to fill all the holes. There are many people in this hunt for Smith, and each person gets a little bit more or less, and the benefits that everyone gets are from the US$1.2 billion that Congressman Simmons has already taken. Inside out.

So the situation is very complicated now. If Eric just gives up the profits, it will not be enough, because it means that after all, Smith will bear the loss of 1.2 billion.

Gao Guang smiled, and then he said to Eric: "I wonder how much profit you can get?"

Eric didn't hide anything. He said calmly: "If we follow the original distribution plan, I can get 1.5 billion. According to the current distribution plan, I can get 600 million, pure profit, pure income."

Gao Guang thought for a moment and said, "But Mr. Smith needs to pay US$1.2 billion, and he doesn't have that much money." Eric spread his hands and said calmly: "Then you should go to Congressman Simmons to discuss it."

Most of the sixty tons of gold originally belonged to Eric, but after asking Smith to compensate, Eric got a lot of gold one gram, and then got an additional 1.5 billion US dollars from Smith.

Of course, this is the most ideal situation, and the actual situation may be much less, but it is certain that Eric made a fortune out of thin air.

If Eric gives up the income, that is, he does not want the $600 million, the most likely method of operation is that after he gets the $600 million, he will pay back all of it to Smith.

According to Eric's plan, Gao Guang has gained a lot from this trip. But the highlights are not satisfying.

Why should Smith bear the loss?

Gao Guang thought for a while and said: "Congressman Simmons, I have already reached an agreement and cannot break the contract anymore, so I would like to ask you a favor on behalf of Mr. Smith, that is, he will lend you 1.7 billion US dollars to settle this matter. After deducting the US$600 million in income, we will lend you US$1.1 billion.”

Eric's eyes widened. After a brief moment of astonishment, he said: "Let's not talk about why you want to borrow it from me. Let's talk about the number 1.7 billion. He only needs to pay 1.2 billion US dollars!"

Gao Guang said seriously: "Because I need 500 million in remuneration to help him solve this matter. I don't want it, but I want it to be distributed to those who help him."

Eric looked at the highlight for a long time, suddenly laughed, and said: "In other words, Smith does not have to bear any losses, but I paid for the mistakes he made. I did nothing and lost eleven out of thin air." Billion dollars, right?”

According to Gao Guang’s plan, Congressman Simmons and the others got the US$600 million out of thin air.

It was Eric who came from it, and the 500 million allocated to General Lloyd and the others came from Eric.

Just like Congressman Simmons openly robbed Smith, now Highlights robbed Eric forcefully.

Biting his lip, Gao Guang said calmly: "Sometimes it is wrong to do nothing. Do you think so? Mr. Eric."

The not-so-friendly but peaceful atmosphere at the beginning was completely gone. When Tu Qiong saw it, Gao Guang showed his fangs and was extremely vicious.

Eric was so angry that he laughed. He looked at the highlight and suddenly said: "Do you think I'm easier to bully than Senator Simmons and others?" "No, no, no."

Gao Guang shook his head repeatedly, and then he said seriously: "It's not that you are easier to bully than Simmons, but that you are easier to bully than the United States. Mr. Eric, you should understand that neither mercenaries nor killers can Attacking a senator is a provocation to the United States, but you, although you can control many members, are not a member. "

You don’t have to finish the sentence.

Assassinating a congressman is a provocation to the United States, but assassinating a rich man is just assassinating a rich man.

It doesn’t matter whether Eric listens to Simmons or Simmons listens to Eric. The point is that Simmons is a congressman, and there are people behind the highlights who will only do things according to the rules, but Eric is not a congressman, so Highlights allow you to ignore the rules that only apply to officials.

The reason here is very simple, but it is quite complicated to distinguish clearly, because it involves the issue of how many resources Eric can allocate.

If it was Smith who said these words, Eric would immediately have Smith uprooted, but now it is Gao Guang who is saying this, and Gao Guang has always said that he is a white glove and has a strong backer behind him, and Eric If you don't even know where his roots are, how can you uproot him?

Being virtual and real is both a trick and a coup.

However, using different deterrence methods for different targets is a real trick.

In tactical terms, Gao Guang used a side detour against Simmons, but he used a frontal assault against Eric.

These few sentences contained a huge amount of information. It would be great if Eric could understand it, but he would be in trouble if he didn't.

But Eric is a higher rank than Smith, so Eric still understands.

Highlights are waiting for Eric

In response, he made a forceful move. It depends on whether Eric will follow up forcefully, or he should resolve it slowly.

Eric thought for a moment, then he suddenly smiled and said calmly: "I think you may have misjudged the situation and mistakenly pushed away my kind response. I don't want to have this kind of meaningless conversation." , I refuse, I refuse all your demands, and I withdraw the concessions I just made.”

Eric understood, but his attitude was far more decisive than Gao Guang imagined. As a businessman, he was really violent.

Or maybe Eric is amazingly powerful, far more powerful than Gao Guang imagined. This threat did not scare him, but aroused his anger, and he decided to fight head-on.

It was a bit troublesome, but Eric's reaction was really within Gao Guang's expectations.

How should I put it, a billionaire, and he is made from scratch, and he is also born in bloody battles, it would be abnormal if he has no self-confidence, no strength and no skills.

It would not be that simple and smooth for Eric to bear all the losses, so Gao Guang was not in a hurry at all. He just said lightly: "Don't worry, Mr. Eric, maybe you will change your mind in a few days. I The transaction time agreed with Councilor Simmons is one week, so let’s set a time of one week.”

Highlight means that for a week, I will show you the method. If you feel that you can't do it then just admit it. If I can't do it then, then how can you say that I do.

Gao Guang was already planning to stand up and leave. The negotiation had broken down, so what's the point of staying? It's useless to just talk, it's better to see the real deal.

But at this moment, when the initial negotiation broke down and it was time to enter the next stage, Otto suddenly said: "Mr. Eric, your servant is slow enough. Our wine hasn't been poured into the cup yet." "

Eric said he wanted to drink, but the wine was never delivered because he was just drinking to find ideas.

The topic was dominated by highlights, and it went too fast. The conversation fell apart in a few words, and naturally there was no need to drink the wine.

But now that Otto is talking about drinking, that means he wants to change the topic again and take back the situation where the conversation has collapsed.

Gao Guang felt a little strange, because what Otto told him was that he was responsible for flipping the table if they couldn't reach an agreement, that is, Otto was responsible for revealing the identity of the Shadowless One, or any other means, and just started threatening directly. This is what is called flipped the table.

But now Otto is easing the situation. If he wants to relax first and then flip the table more violently, then he just wants to continue talking, and

If we continue to talk, there must be a breakthrough in other directions.

This is how the importance of bringing a helper during negotiations becomes apparent.

Of course, if you don’t understand something without an interpreter and think the two are just chatting casually, you obviously can’t be a negotiation assistant.

Gao Guang looked at Otto, expecting him to say something lofty. However, Eric, who had already decided to fall out, did not show any indication, which meant that he did not really want to start a war, so he also expected Otto to give another way.

Otto said slowly to Eric: "Judging from what happened to Mr. Smith, do you think Congressman Simmons is a good partner?"

Eric did not speak because he could not answer Otto's question. To say that Congressman Simons is a good partner would be to block the possible road to reconciliation. To say that Simons is not a good partner would be to show his determination. He broke away from the previous cooperative camp, and he could not accept these two points, so he had to remain silent.

Otto didn't need Eric to answer. He just smiled and said: "Partners are important, allies are even more important. Mr. Eric, don't you think working with us is a better choice than Congressman Simmons?"

Pointing to the highlight, Otto said calmly and seriously: "Whether an interest group is worth relying on depends on the way they treat those members at the bottom. Just because we are willing to do something for people like Smith who don't have much value. Go all out, don’t you think, we are obviously a safer partner?”

Gao Guang has talent, but Otto not only has talent but also experience. The most powerful thing is that he can quickly outline a feasible new path in a short period of time.

I just want to say Fake when I highlight it, it’s the kind of surprise.

Otto's skills cannot be said to be very clever, but it must be said that his thinking is too flexible. After the negotiation with Eric reached an inevitable stalemate, he actually wanted to pull Eric over and drag him into the shooting club. Come.

Otto looked at Gao Guang. He didn't use any special eyes, but with a slight glance, Gao Guang knew what Otto meant.

This is to let the highlight take over, because Otto's identity cannot complete the recruitment of Eric.

But Gao Guang couldn't go from direct attack to solicitation, so he could only say to Otto: "Teacher, you may lack understanding of Mr. Eric. He is stronger than you know, so I think it is better to follow It’s better to go ahead with the original plan.”

Gao Guang does not want to refute Otto's words, nor does he think Otto's suggestions are bad. He just wants Otto to play a double act with him, so let's start with his objections.
