Chapter 954: The Guest Takes the Host Position
This is a big deal, and it can cost more than a billion dollars, so Eric should think about it. If Eric really agreed, Gao Guang would really have to think about it.
Eric's attitude has relaxed, and Smith's losses have been reduced to a minimum. Anyway, Gao Guang feels that from a dry compensation of 3 billion US dollars, now he only needs to pay 600 million US dollars, and it is still borrowed, and then divided into several It's been years since I paid my dues.
But this is the limit of highlighting. If Eric still refuses, then he can only go to the next process. Finally, Eric suddenly raised his head and said seriously: "Okay, $600 million, pay off in two years!"
"Let's pay it off in five years. Two years is too stressful." "Three years is my limit."
Gao Guang accepted it happily and said to Eric, "Okay, then it's settled."
The matter was settled like this, Gao Guang felt that he could inform Smith of the good news, and then he could start pouring in. But Eric stretched out his hand, made a blocking gesture, and said, "Wait a minute, there are other questions."
Gao Guang's excited heart cooled down a little, then he looked at Eric and said, "What's the matter?"
Eric looked very serious. He looked at Otto, then at the highlight. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly said: "I don't want to bear this loss in vain. I want to make up for the loss in other ways."
The meaning is very simple, but the problem is what to do. Gao Guang doesn't think Eric has a way to recover the loss.
Frowning, Gao Guang thought for a moment and said, "Do you have any way to recover the loss? If so, can you tell me."
Eric whispered: "We can bring down Senator Simmons."
Gao Guang was stunned for a moment, but Otto shrugged, and then he laughed, acting as if he was expected. Gao Guang didn't know how to answer this. He hoped that Otto could help him respond to Eric's proposal.
Otto caught Gao Guang's eyes, so he immediately smiled at Eric and said, "You want to attack your close allies?"
"First of all, Simmons and I have never been close allies. The reason why I have a close relationship with Simmons is only because he has been a senator for thirty years, and
Still representing Texas, in the end. There are many people eyeing the position of Senator. I know many people want to replace Simmons, but they just haven't found the right opportunity. "
After speaking quickly but firmly, Eric said calmly: "I reiterate, I had no intention of attacking Smith, but Simmons did it."
Otto smiled and said: "If he can't devour you, he will naturally focus on the weaker Smith."
Eric said calmly: "That's the truth, but swallowing up your collaborators is another matter." Gao Guang frowned and said: "You want to kill Congressman Simmons, but this is not within the scope of our consideration." ”
"You have to think about this."
Eric did not give in. Now he had agreed to Gao Guang's conditions, but he still had conditions, and if Gao Guang did not agree to his conditions, he would still refuse to cooperate.
But Eric had his own reasons. After Gao Guang and Otto teamed up to sing a drama for him, now it was Eric who had to sing a big drama for Gao Guang.
It's right to think about it. If you're like Eric, how can you let anyone manipulate you?
"Congressman Simmons has a high status, a strong voice, many allies, and has a strong influence in the Senate."
Eric paused, and then he continued: "Based on what I know about him, he is not the kind of person who accepts failure easily, especially when he swallowed Smith into his mouth and was forced to spit it out. This is the first time he has ever swallowed Smith. If it happens once, what will be the consequences? If Smith does not die, then everything Simmons has done will be exposed. For a politician, this is very fatal. "
Eric stood up, took two steps back and forth, and said: "Based on my understanding of Simmons, he should be planning how to retaliate now. If he thinks that you are strong, he cannot retaliate directly immediately, but he will never I won’t let it go like this.”
Gao Guang said calmly: "You don't need to say this, I understand all this, but killing Congressman Simmons is not within the scope of our consideration.
We are not afraid of having one more political enemy, but getting rid of this political enemy is another matter. "
Eric said without hesitation: "Isn't the Shadowless Man a killer? Can't you let Congressman Simmons die without any abnormality? As long as some time passes and he dies quietly before the mid-term elections, then the problem will be solved solved."
Gao Guang smiled and said: "It's not that we can't, but that we are unwilling. The risks and benefits are not proportional. Mr. Eric, I know how you plan to make up for the losses, but we don't accept your way."
Eric exhaled, sat down again, then stared at the highlight and said: "If I join you, then I will become an enemy of Simmons. Originally, Simmons and I were not too close, but we were close enough. , my change of camp will cause a chain reaction, which is unacceptable to Simmons. Therefore, I bear the greatest loss and join your organization that has no benefit at all. I bear the responsibility of turning against Congressman Simmons and being retaliated against. How do you think I can cooperate with you?”
Asking a question, and then scanning the two people, Eric continued: "Zhengzhi allies are not exclusive. I can maintain friendship with Simmons, and I can also have a good relationship with some other congressman, but if two hostile congressmen ask me to take sides, , then I have to think carefully, at least, I will not make a rash statement without seeing the situation clearly."
After finishing speaking, Eric said seriously: "I can show sincerity, but I ask you to also show sincerity. Also, I want to see your strength. Many things cannot be done just by talking. Now You have two choices, one is to kill me, the other is to kill Simmons.”
Killing Eric is obviously much easier than killing Simmons, and the consequences will not be too serious, so if you really want to choose, Highlight chooses to kill Eric.
But Eric continued: "If you kill me, you won't get any money. Smith's money will be lost anyway. If you kill Simmons, the advantage is that you can work with me to select a suitable person to replace Simmons." Status, do you understand? Don’t you lack influential people in the political world? How about we get rid of Simmons and work together to promote someone who is reliable and obedient?”
Eric has a really big appetite, but he has to admit
Admit it, his words are really tempting.
Now Eric is about to turn his back on the client. He continued: "I know many people who are capable and qualified to succeed Simmons as a senator. We can choose a suitable candidate together. We can join forces to support a spokesperson. Think about it. , think about that which is more beneficial.”
Gao Guang hesitated for a long time and finally said: "Are you now at the point where you can decide who to replace Simmons?"
"Of course not." Eric replied without hesitation, but he then said: "But maybe it will be OK with you. I like to do business in one step. If I have a strong partner, then I I would like to make the cake bigger.”
There's no denying that Eric has guts, and his offer is really, really tempting.
But Gao Guang cannot make the decision alone in this matter. The matter is too big and must be decided through discussion by everyone.
Looking at Gao Guang and falling into deep thought, Eric said in a very seductive tone: "You don't have to make a decision in a hurry. You can go back and discuss it with others. I think they will agree. You still have time, but This opportunity is rare, so please decide soon.”
How about getting a big one, or about upgrading the shooting club.
Gao Guang is indeed very entangled and embarrassed now. Logically speaking, he shouldn't let this opportunity go, but the risk of killing Simmons is indeed too high. It's hard to say this.
Gao Guang couldn't make up his mind, so he naturally wanted to ask Otto for his opinion. When he looked at Otto, he saw Otto giving him a very affirmative look.
Otto actually thinks he can do this?
Although he didn't know what Otto's specific thoughts were, Gao Guang waved his hand and said, "I agree, we can cooperate, but in this case, we have to talk about the money again."
Eric smiled, raised his glass and said, "As long as this can be done, what's the big deal about money?"
Otto also said softly: "Yes, as long as they can replace Simmons, there are many people who are willing to pay for this position."
