From arms dealer to king of war

Of course, Qiao Jia's statement was just a guess, but the information revealed by Steven made him stunned for a moment, and then he immediately sent a message to Alicia.

Alicia Alexander was one of the people who helped him the most. Jorgia's many adventures in the United States were inseparable from Alicia's support.

It can be said that without the initial support of the Ministry of Justice, PB would not have been able to successfully launch in the United States.

Without Alicia’s daughter Gemma Alexander’s medical charity investment in Central Africa, Choga would not have received so much support.

Alicia firmly expressed her neutral position, but secretly gave Big Mouth Tang a lot of help. Now someone actually wants to take away the position of Minister of Justice...

How can this be?

Alicia's purpose in entering the Ministry of Justice was to use this springboard to establish her contacts in the judicial community, and then return to a big law firm after leaving her job.

If she cannot take the position of minister, she will not be able to arrange for her own people or friends to take the position, and the effect of her tenure in the Ministry of Justice will be greatly reduced.

A few minutes after Qiao Jia's message was sent, Alicia sent him a message back...

After reading this, Qiao Jia shook his head and laughed...

What the phone received was a photo of an old white man having fun in a topless bar.

Qiao Jia knew without thinking that this old man must be Alicia's competitor, the guy named Ludy.

Passing the phone to Eric next to him and asking him to help confirm it, Qiao Jia's heart that had just been hanging was slightly relieved.

Allowing Alicia to remain neutral is the result of communication and negotiation between them, because only by assuming the position of Minister of Justice in this form can Alicia be attracted by many parties and maximize the power of this position.

It was all about money, but Alicia chose a path that, although tortuous, would benefit her for life.

This old aunt is very deep in the city. She probably got the news a long time ago, but she never told Qiao Jia. Instead, she was waiting for news from Qiao Jia and the others.

This is a kind of waiting...

Because Qiao Jia was too busy some time ago, there was no point in telling him.

And now, if Qiao Jia hasn't realized it yet, or realizes that she can't help, it wouldn't be a good idea for her to bring it up rashly, as it would make Qiao Jia feel embarrassed.

So Alicia herself is ready to compete!

But now that Qiao Jia has taken the initiative, the situation is different.

The relationship between the two parties has deepened again, and since she does not have to go into battle to fight with the old white man, her work will be easier to do in the future.

To an ordinary person, Alicia's actions might have come across as insincere and overly purposeful.

But Qiao Jia read trust and tacit understanding from it. This old aunt's methods were sophisticated and she left ample escape routes.

She is willing to reveal all her cards, instead of urging Qiao Jia to find a way to solve the problem. This is telling Qiao Jia, don't force it too hard, we will not lose!

This is trust!

Trust is not just about partners being honest with each other. A higher level of trust actually allows partners to go into battle lightly and win more benefits through negotiations.

Let me tell you my trump card. The worst thing is that you win less.

Don't worry, if you have a chance to win more elsewhere, take advantage of it.

This is the subtext conveyed by a photo of Alicia!

This is of great significance in cooperation negotiations!

This is the trust generated by tacit understanding!

When Boss Qiao contacted her immediately after learning about the problem, Alicia believed in Boss Qiao's political sense and believed that he would definitely not suffer a loss, let alone herself.

So he gave Qiao Jia his trump card and asked him to try to see if he could win more.

Eric used to be a technical consultant, and he didn't have a thorough understanding of this level of human thinking.

But Steven opposite was different. The ambassador's duty was to deal with people. He could see the trust and tacit understanding between Qiao Jia and Alicia at a glance...

The guy sighed enviously and said: "Jackal, my son is studying in law school, and his ideal is to be a prosecutor.

When the matter at hand is over, I would like to invite Minister Alicia to my home. "

Qiao Jia nodded with a smile...

How could Steven's son have a prosecutor as his ideal? How much does a prosecutor make per year?

My mother is a minority shareholder of the energy giant Rockefeller Group, and my father is a brilliant diplomatic strongman.

For children from such a family, using prosecutors as a springboard to enter the legal profession is the right path.

Lawyers in the United States are notoriously demanding of money. The salaries of these lawyers contribute 7% of the GDP of the United States. What is the concept of a cake of nearly 1.5 trillion US dollars?

The United States is a place where the strong eat more and occupy more. As long as children from this background have the right experience, "graduate" from the government's legal department, and establish relevant connections, they can go in and take away a large piece of cake.

Steven had been staying in Libya and Iraq before. Now when he realized that the relationship between Joga and Alicia had reached this level, he began to actively build a network...

Recommending their own son and asking Alicia to help him is just the beginning. They will definitely not be wrong in letting their son study law.

As long as they share their resources in the legal field with Alicia, the final result will definitely be that their energy is multiplied.

This is not a simple exchange of rights, but a win-win cooperation!

Many interest groups started from such a "win-win cooperation" and then formed a strong alliance.

Qiao Jia is happy to see the results of Steven's approach. The network spread out with Boss Qiao himself as the core has extended its tentacles into the Pentagon, the State Department, and the Ministry of Justice.

But everyone is a relatively independent individual, and the level of power is not that high, and for the time being they are brought together because of interests and friendship.

In the past, most of our contacts were through Qiao Jia, but if we cooperate more closely in the future, it will be equivalent to a horizontal connection on the network. Then the network will be stronger and the power it can generate will be greater.

If that cheap father-in-law Tom Reed gives him some face, Joga can also find a fulcrum in the Senate.

Qiao Jia never thought about becoming a ‘network leader’ because it was impossible.

Even elected interest representatives like the Zipperton family do not mean that what they say is what they say.

Qiao Jia can't do it even more!

Moreover, a tyrant can lead a company to conquer cities and territories, but he will never be able to manage a good network of relationships.

Everyone is a power representative of similar size. The leader's strength and dictatorship are the greatest harm to the network. The tyrant's tactics are not easy to use in the human network.

Qiao Jia has been operating slowly and is ready to continue unswervingly.

Because as P·B’s influence grows, it is difficult not to encounter competition internationally.

As competition intensifies, whether Choga admits it or not, the United States, the architect of the modern international order, is an unavoidable link.

The biggest difference between the political parties represented by Lahiri and Big Mouth Tang is that the former claims to be the world leader, while the latter claims to be the representative of the United States.

Theoretically speaking, when the world is stable and economically prosperous, the faction represented by Lahiri and others will be more moderate. After all, they are white leftists.

But when the economy is in bad shape, the White Left faction in power will definitely choose to pass on huge political costs to the world through financial means.

In this way, countries and people with some foundation may not feel it clearly, but it will be very miserable for places that encounter large-scale cost transfer.

The faction represented by Big Mouth Tang is considered conservative. They advocate America first and are naturally nationalistic.

This group of people usually choose simpler and more direct methods, such as using brutal trade wars, or even starting wars directly to force their opponents to surrender and pay tribute.

Choga doesn't know about the rest, but as long as the Republican Party is in power, the Shah will behave like a fool, and U.S. debt will be sold like hot cakes.

To be honest, Qiao Jia is not particularly optimistic about Big Mouth Tang. This guy is a 'tyrannical president' and is born with a strong desire to express himself.

This guy's own net worth is only a little, and his resume is not too impressive to be honest. How can he completely convince those in Congress?

But a domineering president will not be subdued. If he wants to control the situation, he must use the toughest means and use the power of the president to the extreme to force his opponent to surrender.

But the stronger his desire to fight, the stronger the final backlash will be.

It's hard to predict what the outcome will be for Qiao Jia, but it's the most basic thing that if you follow a big talker, your popularity with the media will naturally decrease by 50%.

That's why Qiao Jia kept telling Alicia to remain neutral. If Eric hadn't been exposed, Qiao Jia wouldn't have wanted him to come to the stage.

Now that the situation has reached this point, Qiaojia can only end up on his own and fight with Lahiri's people.

But he still hopes to complete the network layout quietly during Dazuitang's term.

At that time, even if Big Mouth Don steps down and the Republican Party comes to power again, this network will be able to shrink and protect everyone, so that the other party will not dare to make a fatal move.

Eric looked at his boss who seemed to have reached an agreement with Steven. He said helplessly: "It seems that I must have missed something. Is there anything special about New York Mayor Ludy?"

Qiao Jia laughed after hearing this and said, "Does it count as being particularly unlucky?"

Eric listened and said with a smile: "That must count, this guy actually went to a topless bar to hang out and was photographed, then he will definitely be in trouble.

Boss, I won’t show my face now, but it’s okay to find some friends who are chasing big news to embarrass him. "

Qiao Jia shook his head and said: "It's not necessary for the moment. This guy is connected to Dazuitang through Dazuitang's son-in-law. If you interrupt this connection, he will cease to exist."

When Eric heard this, his eyes widened and he said, "Jared?"

Qiao Jia bared his white teeth and said with a smile: "He always provides help for free, but Big Mouth Tang seems to not take us seriously.

I have to remind him that we have put in a lot of effort, and if he wants to win, he must first consider our interests! "
