703: Chapter 6: Amidst the Storm, CEO Cheng Chooses to Set Sail 703: Chapter 6: Amidst the Storm, CEO Cheng Chooses to Set Sail From the mont Jax stepped into the room, CEO Cheng had been contemplating how to respond.
He mulled over it for a long ti, considered many options, and at last decided to give Lagru another push.
This was a considerably tough choice.
On one side was the great terror of going it alone into the abyss, on the other the clear and stable path.
It seed not to be a multiple-choice question; any sane person would choose stability, yet CEO Cheng chose the forr.
This wasn’t a normal choice, but CEO Cheng knew that so-called interests were just superficial, so more important things lay hidden beneath the surface—and that’s exactly what he had just discussed with Jax.
As soone with an informational advantage, Cheng Daqi had many opportunities to gain in the future, but so fleeting chances to hit the jackpot might never co again.
The common investnt logic is the higher the risk the higher the reward, yet the world is full of non-standard deals that don’t quite align with common logic, much like Cheng Daqi’s choice at the mont.
He chose to help Gru not out of financial considerations, but more for a possibility, a very alluring possibility, nothing more.
“Jax, you’re putting in a difficult position.
It was you guys who set up Eris in the first place, and Chief Glu even scolded afterward.
I thought he didn’t consider a friend anymore.”
Co on, beg .
“Chan, you know everyone makes mistakes.”
Jax began speaking with so difficulty, recalling when he and Glu thought they’d secured the support of the California Clique.
Pfft, now it seems Niu Sen is pretty nimble, kicking people skillfully.
So he’s now the leg king of California.
“Yeah, everyone makes mistakes, but what about the Fifty Million Dollars I gave you?”
Cheng Daqi turned around, fixing Jax with a stern look.
He wanted to put so pressure on this cop who was full of little tricks.
What’s called domineering?
Cheng Daqi was exemplifying it right now.
The ntioned Fifty Million Dollars had not been given, and the subsequent paynts had always been left unntioned.
CEO Cheng had been very calm about dragging this debt out until today.
Now Jax, Gru cos asking for help, and CEO Cheng suddenly can’t make heads or tails of it.
The situation in California is teetering on the brink, as is Glu’s, yet CEO Cheng still pressures them—is he the fool?
Of course not!
Glu or the cop gang might have the chance to turn the tide as part of the possibilities that Cheng Daqi had anticipated; that’s why he helped Gru.
But could he let Glu know?
Could he let Jax know?
This is just like starting a business.
What you tell investors, employees, and custors, these ssages cannot be mixed.
To custors, you need to implant a need; to employees, you paint a rosy picture; to investors, you talk about future gains.
Can they all be the sa?
It’s the sa logic today.
With people like Gru, you can’t tell them everything.
Seeing an opportunity and rushing in like a greedy dog, paying no heed to details—that’s not how you achieve big things!
Besides, given the level of idiocy of people like Gru and Jax, Cheng Daqi must force their hand!
They are naively still fretting over who is in cahoots with whom.
Such understanding can’t navigate a ga involving top Arican powers.
Cheng Daqi was acutely aware of this, so what he considered was that asking for money might make Gru feel more at ease.
Chief Glu, suffering a loss could be a blessing!
Jax didn’t understand all that.
He only heard that Cheng Daqi was asking for money again.
“Chan, Fifty Million Dollars is too much, that accountant on TV today, when we were setting him up, you said you were going to…”
CEO Cheng, you still haven’t given us our share from knocking over Accountant Jia!
Jax knew the Fifty Million Dollars Cheng Daqi ntioned was nonsense, but he didn’t dare to call it out directly, so he chose a roundabout way to remind him.
CEO Cheng’s words today had enlightened him.
Playing the ga in California up to this point, it seed that only Glu and his gang could be the villains, and the only person Glu could turn to was Cheng Daqi.
At least, Cheng Daqi was greedy enough—that’s the role of asking for Fifty Million Dollars out of nowhere.
“Ha, Jax, you guys are always like this, narrow-minded to the point of pitiful.
The LCE cryptocurrency platform is thriving, and BEC coin is about to officially ICO.
In the future, you’re not looking at tens of millions, but profits starting from hundreds of millions of Dollars.
You tell I haven’t given you your share, ha ha ha ha.”
Asking for money was a threat, painting a rosy picture anew was a bribe, and all the pressure Gru faced was external intimidation.
All these factors together utterly broke down Jax’s will to resist.
“Fifty million it is then, Chan.
What do we do?”
Jax lay down his weapons, no longer resisting.
He just begged Cheng Daqi for a way out.
He and Glu had the ability to go down fighting, but that didn’t an they wanted to die crushed so easily.
Niu Sen, the California Clique, is the largest local political force in California, and they also wield influence on Capitol Hill; they can’t die.
The real troublemaker, Achilles, has always stayed in the shadows, and is from an Arican shareholder family; he can’t die either.
The Great Commander, the bandwagon Republican establishnt, and those treacherous Democrats wavering like grass in the wind can’t die either.
But with the lid about to be lifted on the Red Sister kidnapping case and the ABC front yard soccer case, soone has to take the fall for all these issues, and Glu, as the LAPD leader, happens to be the one who seems to have the biggest head to take the bla.
CEO Cheng spoke plainly, and Jax saw it clearly, so he could only give in.
