741: Chapter 19: Siblings, Crown, Joker 741: Chapter 19: Siblings, Crown, Joker A person’s starting point is very important if they want to succeed.
The individuals who break free from environntal and platform constraints, using their own strength to achieve greatness, always arouse envy and admiration, but legends are, after all, a minority.
The library manager can create miracles because he is himself, not because he is a library manager.
From a broader and more distant perspective, the reality is: the higher one’s starting point, the easier it is to create and change things in a finite lifeti.
After Achilles caused a stir, Cheng Daqi had always understood him according to this logic.
He was a young man with an extrely high starting point, in his thirties, with a transcendent status, rich experience, and in the pri of life.
He stood at the very top of this empire, allied with a part of the true controllers of the empire, and chose an extrely good timing to launch a top-down assault.
From Capitol Hill to Saint Rodu, from the federally governed Forbes to LAPD, the representative of local powers, from the silent acquiescence of capital moguls to the integration of the establishnt and MAGA factions, he convened a shareholders’ eting that only so shareholders attended as a shareholder of Arica, and then made a big move.
When a tumor like Gru appeared in Arica and nobody wanted to deal with it, when Arica’s parasites grew so strong that they beca difficult to control, CEO Cheng’s ergence was like an initiator.
He led Mi’er, a special individual who was a variable amplifier, injecting the most significant variable into the era.
Under the influence of various forces with different intentions, the situation has gradually progressed to where it is today.
The federal governnt has been shut down for over a month, the budget bill has beco the focus of strife, and the waves stirred up by Achilles are more like a thod of escalating the situation, such is the peculiar way of playing political gas in Arica.
Their hegemony has lasted too long, so long that the founders of that hegemony have died one by one, and the successors either do not understand or pretend not to, unaware of what their choices will bring to Arica.
Things always develop in the direction of least resistance.
Thus, the climax after climax, the situation is fraught with clouds and unpredictable changes.
Thus, the Great Commander backed down, Achilles began to wait and see.
But CEO Cheng disagreed, the opportunity he had been waiting for finally appeared at the mont of both sides’ retreat.
Thus, overnight, the California Elephant Party was suddenly purged by the ‘California Clique’, and upon Niu Sen’s arrival in Saint Rodu, he was taken down by Gru.
Gru’s rage after starting sacrifice mode was so excessively outrageous that CEO Cheng’s maneuvers, such as incorporating Dracula into the establishnt and using pressure to consolidate the California Elephant Party, seed relatively inconspicuous by comparison.
At this point, CEO Cheng, after several escalations of the situation, added a bit more pressure to the pressure cooker, making all parties feel uneasy at heart.
However, when confronting Achilles, Cheng Daqi and Mi’er still had to ensure enough honesty; conspiring against such a person was futile.
Achilles, the old six, has already won without earning a penny or much in the way of imdiate political benefits.
But Achilles does not lack money, nor has he ever pursued excessive political benefits—those co with responsibilities.
Achilles initially targeted California to eliminate Mi’er’s future, but as the situation changed, his goal might have beco seizing the occasion to increase his popularity in Arica.
When Mi’er told him that Niu Sen had already started talks with the Great Commander, CEO Cheng confird that Achilles’ objectives had been achieved.
He is powerful, intelligent, and crucially, a ‘partner’ that CEO Cheng and Mi’er inevitably rely on, given that Mi’er’s influence cos from her family and Achilles is still the pillar of Caramacris.
So, CEO Cheng presented him with an overt strategy.
Co on, Achilles, either do as I say or play the fool—pick one!
“…Chan, you’ve given a difficult problem, and I’m really troubled,”
“Since Mi’er t you, you’ve been stirring things up in California, affecting our family’s reputation in Arica to the extent it has even reached now.”
“The federal governnt shutdown needs to be resolved within a week; this is consensus.
The Great Commander and the California Clique have already agreed on conditions, and both the establishnt and the Democratic Party have co to terms, but now, you’ve disrupted it all.”
Achilles stood in front of the grill, fiddling with a steak while putting pressure on Cheng Daqi and Temir.
CEO Cheng held back the irate Mi’er and asked with a smile,
“Consensus?
Whose consensus?”
Achilles was surprised and looked up, not understanding why Cheng Daqi insisted on being serious about this matter.
“There’s no consensus in Arica, otherwise the federal governnt wouldn’t be shut down for so long.
Everyone is greedy, and anyone willing to take responsibility will beco the price.
Mr.
Achilles, are you planning to carry the weight of Arica’s future?”
CEO Cheng pointed out a despairing reality that ordinary people would beco despondent upon hearing—the intricately intertwined beasts of interest have transford every participant.
Why has the federal governnt been shut down for so long?
Putting aside the political interests behind it, the direct reason is that the Great Commander is insistent on building that wall!
Then, Congress spoke, the governnt shut down, and overwhelming pressure led the Great Commander to consider conceding in an advantageous position.
When the penetration of capital into politics reaches its zenith, politicians beco puppets that must be carefully manipulated to ascend, they are the carriers of will, the impeccably dressed and lofty top-tier talking heads.
The only sowhat autonomous person might be the Great Commander, much like Niu Sen, who was fild self-destructing by Gru, riddled with bad debts, but in a crucial position, so Mi’er needs to offer Niu Sen the possibility to keep playing the ga.
