788: Chapter 35 Leader (2) 788: Chapter 35 Leader (2) Gazing out the cabin window at the bustling city, Cheng Daqi couldn’t help but let out a faint sigh.
At this point in ti, 2019, Arica’s imperial hegemony had flourished for forty years, being the most developed economy on the blue planet.
Despite showing signs of fatigue in certain areas, it still remained an awe-inspiring beast—no one dared to be the first to directly challenge its majesty, well, at least not yet.
California is Arica’s largest economic state, ranking first.
If regarded as an independent country, its GDP would rank fifth in the world, coincidentally, just like the five permanent mbers of the United Nations.
San Rodolfo is not the state capital of California, but it is the most prosperous city in California, with many legendary companies born there.
As a city that has long ranked second or third in the world in terms of economic scale (twice the size of Bai Jing), San Rodolfo’s prosperity is undoubtedly unquestionable.
It is precisely because San Rodolfo is too prosperous that no one person can ever hope to control it.
When it cos to ethnic demographics, White, xican, Japanese, from Hua Country, Black, Korean, Vietnase…uh, and Indians, the racial diversity here is even more complex than in New York.
Divided by the interests of industrial capitals, dia giants, aerospace giants, Internet giants…
it’s even harder to keep track, each having the desire to find political surrogates to maintain their economic power.
Even the civil servants working within the Arican Governnt system, once their numbers reach a certain scale, also split into different interest groups.
Take the customs system of San Rodolfo, for instance, it’s made up of three departnts—or rather, ‘factions’.
Bill Jonathan, the chairman of the Shipping Association, bears a grudge against Gru, who, in turn, represents the LAPD.
Therefore, it was no surprise that Niusen had scoffed at the condition Mi’er proposed initially.
You all want San Rodolfo?
But do you not see your own level?
Do you deserve it?
Even the California Clique, which started out with San Francisco as its core, couldn’t take over San Rodolfo, let alone you two youngsters.
Oh, even with the addition of the various families of the Elephant Party Establishnt, it’s impossible.
This was Niusen’s thought, but for Cheng Daqi, no matter how difficult things were, they always needed to be pursued.
Set a high goal that seems unattainable, but as they say, the road will be made by walking.
“Chan, see that building there?
That’s old Crusoe’s property; just that one building alone is worth a billion Dollars.”
The black Bell 429 was fast, and in just a few minutes, it flew over the core area of San Rodolfo.
Gru pointed to the high-rise below and said to Cheng Daqi.
“Is West State Logistics’ office in San Rodolfo big enough?”
As Gru’s boss, Cheng Daqi didn’t pay much attention to these details.
He was only now thinking about this.
“It wasn’t initially, but due to economic issues, many companies vacated the offices we previously rented in San Rodolfo, and we were able to get so of the empty offices at a low price.
Now we have over two hundred people working in our new headquarters.
The number of people has increased fourfold, but the managent essentially stayed the sa.
Well, so of them wanted to resign, but now no one dares to leave.”
“Hahaha, you are decisive.
I have always said that managing a big company like this seems complex, but in fact, having been the chief of the LAPD, you are undoubtedly capable of managing a comrcial company.”
For soone like Gru, who had held a relatively high position in a public sector, transitioning to a managent role in the business world wasn’t very difficult.
“Gru, I know you have thoughts about my arrangents, including your desire to go to the National Guard, I understand all that, but you need to trust more.
Temporarily arranging you into a comrcial company is actually a form of protection and, of course, also helps out a little.”
These words carried a deeper, heart-to-heart sentint, and Gru awkwardly responded.
“Uh, I know, Chan, especially concerning Lake’s sche, Jax and I could never have thought of these things, it’s just…”
“You can speak freely.”
Cheng Daqi said with a smile.
Today was indeed a heart-to-heart talk between Cheng Daqi and Gru.
“Chan, I understand why Niusen would bow to us on so matters, but why is he so cooperative with you?
BEC has substantial interests, but by getting involved with you, shouldn’t you be a little more cautious?”
Cheng Daqi knew in his heart.
Sheriff Gru was worried that he would be hoodwinked by that old fox Niusen.
“Can you see the benefit of Niusen cooperating with us?”
The Black Police bro regretted speaking up.
Too much talk!
Now what?
Get ready to be shown up again.
He felt sowhat helpless inside, but put on an ignorant face and asked.
“Is it really for money?
But that’s our money, no, your money!”
The conversation ca to an end.
Gru, oh Gru, he had never expected himself to end up like this.
Cheng Daqi sadly found that he seed to have beco like the Great Demon King in ani.
Who could bla him when he had two protectors seated beside him: Eris, a gangster boss, and Gru, notorious as the Black Police and soone who smacks the faces of the West Coast’s number ones.
With such ill-fated subordinates, even if Cheng Daqi wanted to see himself as undercover, it would be difficult.
You claim to be undercover, but the leader of Arica’s largest local law enforcent agency is acting like a fool in front of you.
Is this how you go undercover?
“Looking at the results, it’s without a doubt that Niusen has chosen us.
Yes, even though he secretly had Geweil negotiate terms with you, that is just a detail.
On a larger scale, he is personally inclined to engage in so tacit cooperation with us.
These cooperation terms may never be put down on paper, but we, the people involved, have already reached the stage where all are open strategies.”
