Chapter 670: Chapter 644: Troubles
Who proposes the problem resolves it, let Panetta have a headache over it.
But right now, Panetta, who had changed his mind, couldn’t be bothered about how to arrange things for Gao Yi, after all, this matter wasn’t urgent.
“You go et up with your people, I’ll arrange for soone to get you out a bit later. Be careful during this ti, don’t wander around until things stabilize, we’ll talk more once the situation is stable.”
At this point, Panetta wasn’t using a commanding tone with Gao Yi. He adjusted his mindset swiftly and no longer intended to bring Gao Yi under his leadership but saw him as a collaborator, certainly equal, with less status and experience.
So strictly speaking, what Panetta said here should be a suggestion.
Gao Yi nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll go back and organize the list. Those who have ritorious service indeed deserve a reward.”
“How about Joelson?”
Just now, just a mont ago, Panetta talked about promoting Joelson, wanted to make him deputy director, but now he’s asking how Joelson is.
The reason is simple, just a mont ago, Panetta wanted to use Joelson to check Gao Yi, elevate his status, give him real power, make him a strong figure in the CIA, at least have the strength to handle Gao Yi.
But now, Panetta sees Gao Yi as soone who can be entrusted with things after his ti, so Joelson shouldn’t pose any threat to Gao Yi.
At least within the small group led by Panetta, there can’t be soone who fully suppresses Gao Yi.
Gao Yi seriously thought about it and said, “Joelson is quite good, today he stepped up himself. No matter what, soone who can hold a gun in critical monts is at least reliable. I think Joelson is a smart person, he hasn’t swelled up so far, so he’s not bad.”
If Gao Yi said Joelson wasn’t good, then Joelson would have no future. Problems with ability could be forgiven, but an improper attitude ant total ruin.
And the aning behind Panetta’s question was not only to hear Gao Yi’s evaluation of Joelson but more to express his stance, which is we discuss personnel matters together, here you’re the most important person, sothing like that.
Panetta nodded, softly said, “Alright, then arrange the position for him according to the original plan. The others are easy to handle, I have a lot more to deal with, you must be careful.”
Panetta warned Gao Yi to be cautious for the second ti.
Even though the unrest in the United States had just occurred and was far from being completely resolved, Panetta wasn’t one to nag.
Concern breeds confusion. When Panetta genuinely wanted to entrust his child and retirent years to Gao Yi, his attitude naturally changed.
Gao Yi said, “If I can help, just say the word. If there’s soone inconvenient to deal with, then simply use physical removal.”
“Physical ans are the last and worst option. If the other party chooses this, it’s because they have no other choice. As long as the President remains in office, he has many cards to play, so try not to use physical elimination thods.”
After speaking, Panetta suddenly said, “Oh, wait a mont, the President will soon take asures to save the market, first bring back the value of Bitcoin. What Little Andic can get as a confession isn’t really important, hmm, you can notify Luca to seize the opportunity to make a profit.”
“Alright.”
Panetta nodded and said, “Finish talking here before going out, this room is very safe, soone is waiting outside to guide you. I’ll leave first.”
Panetta left on his own, Gao Yi thought for a mont, shook his head, and muttered to himself, “I’m really a damn genius!”
A very common yet difficult split crisis was resolved just like that, Gao Yi allowed himself a small mont of pride.
He took out his phone, dialed Luca, and waited for Luca to pick up the call. Before Gao Yi could speak, Luca impatiently asked, “How are you? Are you safe?”
“I’m safe now, it’s fine, uh, basically fine I guess.”
“That’s good… phew… that’s good!”
Luca sounded very uneasy, he sighed and said, “I really thought the Garden was going to be finished. Do you know how turbulent the cryptocurrency market and Wall Street are right now?”
“How do you know? This news should still be under lockdown, right?”
“Get it clear, it’s not the White House locking down information from Wall Street, it’s Wall Street locking down information from the White House. This was supported by Wall Street. The capital market acted out of fear to do these things, uh, I’m in New York.”
“You’re in New York?”
“Yes, and I’m on Wall Street, so I know what’s happening out there. I got so scared earlier I was thinking of hiring soone to save you.”
“No wonder you know all this, but what are you doing on Wall Street?”
Luca was silent for a mont, then he sighed and said, “I manage so much money, of course I need to frequent places like Wall Street more, distribute the money into many safe accounts, take so out for investnts, the generated returns are legal inco. Also, I need to make good use of my share of the money, so naturally, I have to be here.”
Gao Yi didn’t know where Luca was, he usually wouldn’t ask. That ans if he were caught alive, it would be impossible to get Luca’s whereabouts out of him.
All the money from the Garden is in Luca’s pocket. If Luca chose to take the money and run, Gao Yi truly wouldn’t have much ans to stop him.
Right now, Luca is completely independent outside the Garden. It’s absolutely safe, but also extrely dangerous because the money in the entire Garden relies on Luca’s conscience.
However, Gao Yi seems indifferent about it.
How much money does Luca manage? About two to three hundred million US Dollars, maybe more, like four or five hundred million?
Gao Yi really doesn’t know how much money he has. He just has a vague notion that it’s only a few hundred million dollars. Honestly, even if Luca swallowed it all, it wouldn’t matter; the worst case is that Luca is hunted worldwide, and then Gao Yi just casually earns that money back from elsewhere.
“Alright, you’re the financial director, just handle it yourself and make sure it’s safe. Now, I’ll tell you so news: Little Andic has been caught by . The turmoil he caused in the crypto world will soon end. Additionally, the President will bail out the market. So, go ahead and buy so Bitcoin at a low price right now; it’s definitely going to appreciate.”
No one knows more about Bitcoin’s insider information than Luca. To so extent, the value of Bitcoin is built on the foundation of the Garden’s power.
But Luca never gets involved with Bitcoin. If he has Bitcoin, he would imdiately convert it into cash. Even if Bitcoin surges violently, he wouldn’t invest in it.
“Do we have to buy Bitcoin?”
“Yes, buy all of it with our money.”
“Uh… Well… Buying is not impossible, but buying all of it is a bit excessive, isn’t it? Is it necessary to do so?”
Since Gao Yi had said so, Luca wouldn’t refuse a chance to make a big profit. Besides, buying a large amount of Bitcoin was also one of the ans to bail out the market. As long as he could sell it at the right ti after the price rebounds, it wouldn’t go against his principles. But Luca couldn’t agree to buy all the money in Bitcoin.
Gao Yi said indifferently, “It’s necessary. Cooperating with the President’s asures, buying too little is aningless, and this ti we will certainly profit.”
“No, do you know how much money we have right now?”
“How much? Five billion? Ten billion?”
Luca took a deep breath and then said helplessly, “Do you have no concept at all? Well, right now we have 12.6 billion US dollars, including 9.3 billion in cash readily available. Simply put, right now, I’m an invisible tycoon on Wall Street. If I were to fully invest in bailing out the market or short selling, I could indeed move stock markets worldwide.”
Gao Yi was stunned for a mont. While he was in awe of Luca, he cautiously asked, “May I ask… When did we have so much money?”
“Not long ago. But knowing that you were going to target Ben, having this inside information globally first, don’t you think that if I couldn’t make an investnt with a return rate of over ten tis, wouldn’t I be too incompetent?”
Sighing, Luca said helplessly, “Actually, I’m just sensitive to numbers and very concerned about money, but I don’t quite understand investnts. If I let a true financial shark handle this, wealth could possibly increase by a hundred tis. I don’t believe it. I’m just too cautious and didn’t dare to go all out.”
“No, no, no, you’re already amazing. You’re incredibly capable—over one hundred billion…”
After a mont of silence, Gao Yi suddenly said, “How do you spend so much money?”
“I don’t know. Plus, our money is almost all cash flow, and that’s even more impressive.”
Gao Yi scratched his head and said, “Then we can’t buy all Bitcoin. It’s up to you, you’re the financial director; you decide. Besides, we have too much money, it has to be spent, find a way to spread it all out.”
Gao Yi’s words hit a nerve with Luca. He asked puzzledly, “Why do we have to spend it?”
“I’m scared of having so much money, I always feel like sothing’s going to happen. It’s better to spend it. Money is just a number; lying idle in an account is aningless.”
“I don’t care; I’m the financial director. How about this: I give you a limit of one billion dollars, you can recruit, give it away, even waste it if you want. But more than that won’t work, even if it’s your money. I’m the financial director. Unless you replace , I have the responsibility to ensure you don’t squander it all.”
“Uh, how much money do I have?”
“Other than six hundred million dollars being mine, the rest is all yours.”
“Falke!”
Having too much money only makes people nervous, not sure what this problem is.
Gao Yi was originally very relaxed, but knowing he had too much money now, he inexplicably beca scared.
“Wall Street makes money really fast. No wonder the United States elites only want to ss with finance, this is quicker than stealing, who’s still doing real industry.”
Casually sighing a couple of lines, Gao Yi breathed out and said, “Then you quickly go buy Bitcoin, handle it yourself, and give one billion dollars. I need to spread it out quickly. Do you understand the philosophy of ‘a cunning rabbit has three burrows’? Forget it, you don’t, thank goodness I do, but where should I spend this money, who should I give it to…”
Not to ntion, now Gao Yi started to understand Panetta.
It’s just that Panetta gained power overnight, while he beca a billionaire overnight.
Although the type is different, the degree of trouble is about the sa.
Having power makes you want to control everyone in your hand, having money makes you want to spend it, but you don’t know how to spend it; it’s trouble, really troubleso, and a trouble with a strong sense of crisis.
Thinking about it again and again, it’s better to favor his own people first, and maintain the basic foundation first.
