967: Chapter 85: The Feast of Wolves 1_3 967: Chapter 85: The Feast of Wolves 1_3 Their representatives co from two groups: one is the Political Correctness Party caucus, the other is the Donkey Party Left-wing Progressives, and both have clearly opposed prison privatization.”
Cheng Daqi nodded in satisfaction and explained.
“I know, that’s why Nanxi is here.
It’s not easy to get a eting with Madam Speaker.
Moreover, when viewed from the administrative cost level, prison privatization is a good asure.
From the perspective of improving financial conditions, we do have allies, don’t we?”
“Are you saying…?”
“Don’t overthink it.
Crusoe and I have already established a financing platform.
I need you to help reach out to so key figures and persuade them to participate.
Our private prison venture will start in San Rodolfo.
As for the specifics of this work…
Your task is simple: structure New Era’s public relations departnt with the goal of promoting the private prison project.
First, build a preliminary frawork to lay the foundation for future work.
On the other hand, market our financing bonds.
I’ll give you a one percent commission.”
Four hundred million—one percent ans four million.
Benny isn’t greedy; he’ll be satisfied with claiming just a small piece of the pie.
“Chan, can I ask soone else…?”
“You can, but you must be careful.
Our financing targets are specific, and this requires careful target screening.
It won’t be an easy task.
“If we only limit it to San Rodolfo, I believe the difficulty won’t be too high.
You can rest assured!” Benny assured.
“Yes, the first phase’s targets are limited to San Rodolfo.
Future affairs will be dealt with in the future.”
Daqi answered with a smile; he genuinely liked Benny.
This guy, known for his extensive network, was no fluke as Robert’s aide.
Cheng always felt comfortable talking with him.
After bidding Benny farewell, Cheng Daqi finally got a chance to have a proper conversation with Mi’er.
“Those two bastards never gave any clear commitnts in the end, yet you let a few things slip—more than one slip-up, in fact.
Chan, this is not the level you should be at.
Don’t tell it’s yet another ‘profound, elusive’ ingenious plan.
We are not desperate gamblers with no chips on the table, and I don’t like taking risks.
We’ve co this far—if we must still gamble, then what’s the point of all the efforts we’ve made up to now?”
Temir disliked Cheng’s play-the-victim tactics.
In her behaviors, steeped in European and Arican cultural influence, weakness was never an option.
“Oh, what slip-ups?”
Cheng, smiling slyly, poured himself a glass of white wine and sat diagonally across from Mi’er, asking casually.
“Jia is your key person in the automotive venture, and having BEC investigated overlaps with that.
If Niusen and Nanxi catch wind of this, they’ll lose interest in helping you use it as leverage against the LAPD.
Your plans for the automotive sector haven’t even launched yet, and playing weak to Nanxi will give her chances to blackmail you.
Finally, by asking them to look after the rising political stars you fancy, you’re essentially putting the people you quietly support right in front of their mouths!”
Temir understood well that while Niusen and Nanxi seed cornered today, they hadn’t made any real strategic mistakes.
Cheng appeared dominant, but his strong stance contained deliberate signs of weakness.
“So you’ve noticed too, Mi’er.
Do you think Niusen and Nanxi will pick up on it?”
“Ha!
Self-deluded man, Chan!
Do you think they will appreciate your sincerity?
No!
They’ll turn these slip-ups into weapons to threaten you instead!”
Cheng shrugged, poured Mi’er a glass of wine as well, and smiled.
“I don’t believe so.
Let’s wait and see.”
Looking at Cheng’s raised glass, Mi’er angrily clinked hers against his with a loud sound.
“I just don’t understand why—you have such a huge advantage—why you’d still choose to act like this.”
Cheng’s allies included staunch hardliners, like Mi’er.
Her current dissatisfaction stemd from Cheng’s acts of compromise.
From her perspective, Cheng’s decisions were utterly incomprehensible!
