480: Chapter 468: Mismatch Advantage 480: Chapter 468: Mismatch Advantage Having just swindled thirty-three tons of gold, Yang Yi was now about to rob the very sa amount of gold.
Although it was the sa gold, and the crates probably hadn’t even been changed, for Yang Yi, this was a completely different mission.
Earning money twice from the sa item, stealing back what he had sold—whether he was doing the stealing or doing it on behalf of soone else—it looked like a double-cross no matter how you sliced it.
Yang Yi thought it through carefully and then felt that this was indeed a double-cross.
It was just a sowhat different double-cross, that’s all.
Whether it was a double-cross or simply carrying out a task given by the cleaners, if Trident was to take action, they had to be given a good reason to proceed.
Terry pondered for a mont before speaking in a low voice, “We never skimp when it cos to hiring help, but it’s a bit premature to talk terms now.
We need to set the conditions based on the difficulty of the task.
The current situation requires more ti to track down the whereabouts of that gold, so it won’t be too late to discuss terms after we find the gold and are sure we can make a move.”
It made sense, and after thinking it over, Yang Yi said, “Alright, I’ll wait for your update.”
Terry nodded and then said in a deep voice, “I’ve got a lot more to handle, so I won’t disturb you any further.
We can stay in touch if anything cos up.”
“Wait a second.”
Yang Yi hastily reached out to stop Terry and then with an embarrassed smile he said, “Look, I provided this intel, and as you’ve said, my intel has given you a significant breakthrough.
So, shouldn’t you share so intel with ?
I would like to know the detailed situation at Anderson International Economic Research Institute, and also any intel on Lloyd.”
Terry nodded, “Certainly, soone will deliver the detailed intel to you later.
We are happy to share information.”
Yang Yi paused to think and then said, “There’s one more issue.
A few friends and I obtained that gold together.
If you go and rob it, my friends might suspect .
How can we resolve this?”
Terry chuckled and replied, “That won’t happen.
No one but us has the capability to steal gold from the Grey-cloaked People.
If anyone suspects, they will only suspect the cleaners, since that’s the obvious assumption.
So, you have no need to worry.
As long as you don’t leak any information, there will be no problem.”
After finishing, Terry, very politely, said, “Any other concerns?”
Yang Yi considered for a mont and then said, “I have sothing I must deal with tonight.”
Terry said in a serious tone, “That’s your personal affair.
If your schedule conflicts with our operation, you’ll have to decide how to balance them, Mr.
Sea God.
Excuse .”
Bowing slightly to Yang Yi, Terry opened the door himself and silently descended the stairs and left.
Terry left in a bit of a hurry, likely because he had received so intel that he was eager to deal with.
After closing the door, Yang Yi turned to Xiao Ran and asked, “What do you think?”
Xiao Ran shrugged and answered, “What do I think?
There’s nothing much to consider.
The cleaners have decided they want the gold.
What’s left is just figuring out how to do it and who will do it.”
“I an, what’s your opinion on becoming both a contractor and a client of the cleaners?”
Xiao Ran thought for a mont and then said, “Truth be told, the cleaners have never had much military force or strong intel capabilities.
Just from the na, you can tell that the cleaners are in the business of eliminating evidence for people.
But the cleaners are still very powerful.
Do you know why?”
“Because of the cleaners’ clients!”
Yang Yi’s answer was imdiate, and then he spoke firmly, “I am starting to get a grip on it.
I don’t know the specific operations of the cleaners or who controls them, but I do know that the most valuable assets the cleaners have are their clients, not their contractors.”
“Right, the cleaners value clients more than contractors.
As long as there’s money, you can find people—contractors—to do the job.
Even if a contractor encounters a problem, it’s not a big deal; they can just be replaced.
But the clients are the cleaners’ most important assets.”
Xiao Ran took a deep breath and said, “So now you’re a client of the cleaners, which is a more important role than being a contractor.
Knowing this, whether you’re willing to accept another task from the cleaners is up to you.”
In a low voice, Yang Yi said, “You ntioned the cleaners’ intel capability isn’t actually that strong?”
“I’m not too sure, but the Grey-cloaked People specialize in intel, and the cleaners specialize in eliminating evidence.
So at least the cleaners are inferior to the Grey-cloaked People in that regard.
As for capabilities in combat, well, organizations like the cleaners at that level aren’t weak since they can pay for what they need.”
After thinking it over, Yang Yi started to smile, “I just realized that we have a significant advantage.”
“What advantage?”
“Our capabilities are sothing the cleaners lack.
Moreover, we can fight in the intel circle and gather intel in the rcenary circle.
That’s a mismatched advantage right there.
So, we need to continue strengthening this advantage.
That way, our status will only rise higher, becoming unshakeable.”
Xiao Ran was sowhat puzzled, “What are you talking about?”
Yang Yi smiled and replied, “Keep and enhance our mismatched advantage.
Okay, let’s hurry up and get the formalities out of the way, then I can rest.
I’m attending a recruitnt eting tonight, and I need my energy for that.”
Now even more confused, Xiao Ran said, “Recruitnt eting?
What kind of recruitnt eting are you talking about?”
Yang Yi laughed heartily, “Don’t ask so many questions.
You’ll find out soon enough.
For now, let’s notify everyone to split the money.”
Soon, all of Trident gathered in Yang Yi’s room.
They had all worked hard to earn this money, so it was ti to distribute it quickly.
This ti, Yang Yi hadn’t discussed with anyone how the money should be split.
Mike had once told Yang Yi that if he couldn’t satisfy everyone’s spiritual pursuits, he had to make sure to fulfill their financial needs.
How to split the money, how much each person would receive—this was a financial power matter.
To truly take hold of the Organization of Water, and to do so fully, Yang Yi had to firmly grasp its financial reins.
The Organization of Water currently consisted of an ensemble of sharp individuals.
Within it, Yang Yi had always felt neither here nor there, the nominal leader of the organization, yet never able to establish absolute authority.
But this ti was different.
Yang Yi now had over two hundred million US dollars in his hands.
Although the money was earned through the collaborative efforts of the organization, Yang Yi was the one who had planned the operation and commanded the entire mission.
This ti, Yang Yi was the absolute core, no one more important than him.
Naturally, he would use this operation to establish his core status within the Organization of Water.
