Gao Yi wants to invite Glass to dinner, but he doesn't know what to eat, what to drink, what to talk about, and what he can do.
But according to the traditional habits of the Chinese people, as long as you can ask someone out, as long as you can call them out for a meal, even if you can only sit down and chat, then this matter is basically settled.
Fortunately, Glass actually accepted the invitation and came, after all, he received US$10,000.
The restaurant is the hotel's own Iraqi style. Gao Yi is not a picky person, and he was quite happy with the first meal. It was when they were about to finish eating that Glass came late.
And Glass didn't seem to want to eat anything, so he sat opposite Gao Yi.
I'm here for the sake of money. If you have anything to say, just say it quickly. If you don't have anything to say, I'll leave. This is how Glass behaves at the same time.
Gao Yi lacks workplace experience, but he is still very accurate in judging people, and he can feel it just from Glass's appearance.
Glass is a man of pride and resentment.
Arrogance comes from strength, resentment comes from not recognizing talents, and Glass is dissatisfied because he has the ability but is stuck at the bottom.
What should I say as an opening statement?
Gao Yi thought for a moment, and finally said: "We are killers."
Grace nodded slightly, then he still just stared at Gao Yi.
Gao Yi continued: "I hope to achieve in-depth cooperation with you."
Glass still nodded slightly, and then just politely whispered: "If there is anything you need me to do, please tell me."
This won't work. Glass won't really cooperate. It can be seen from his tone and appearance that he is wary and looks down on Gao Yi from the bottom of his heart.
We must find a way to open up the situation, we must find a suitable topic to cut into, and cut into the deep topic that Glass is not willing to touch on now.
How to do it?
Let’s start with Martin, whom both of them know. At this time, they can only use Martin as a topic to create a breakthrough.
Gao Yi also smiled. He leaned back and looked relaxed, saying, "Martin has told me about you many times."
Glass frowned slightly, but said nothing.
Gao Yi continued: "I'm not familiar with the Middle East, so before I came, I asked Martin if there were any suitable friends here who could guide me. He recommended you, and then he said that you were the best agent he had ever seen."
Glass looked slightly surprised, as if he didn't expect Martin to comment on him like this.
Logically speaking, a middle-aged man who has wasted half his life should be able to tell which ones are truth and which ones are lies.
But it’s not necessarily true. There are too many people who have never understood it all their lives. If they are not enlightened, it doesn’t matter what job they do or where they are. If they are not enlightened, they are not enlightened.
There are too many people in this world who feel that they are unappreciated and just lack an opportunity, and these people are still the majority, but they don’t understand that opportunities are all found by themselves, and they just wait for pie in the sky to fall on their heads.
I'm thinking of having sweet dreams.
But regardless of the facts, as long as a person who feels that his talent is underappreciated hears others commenting on him in the same way, then he will be very, very, very happy.
It is difficult for two people with the same high position to become close friends, and it is also difficult for a proud person and a frustrated person to become close friends.
It is easy for people who are both at the end of the world to become close friends.
If you can understand the truth behind this, you will basically have an insight into human nature, and with an insight into human nature, you will naturally be able to grasp the weaknesses in human nature.
Therefore, Glass's weakness was exposed by Gao Yi with just one sentence.
"Oh, he said that?"
The first thing Glass asked was what Martin said about him.
Of course Gao Yi is not afraid of revealing his secret, because if Martin had been in contact with Glass, he would not need to inquire in many ways to find his former colleague in Baghdad, so they have simply forgotten each other, let alone contact over the years.
Gao Yi sighed lightly and said: "Yes, it's just a pity... uh, sorry, let's talk about business."
"What a pity!"
Seeing Glass's appearance, Gao Yi hesitated for a moment, and finally whispered: "He said... It's a pity that you didn't meet a capable boss, and you wasted your time. Your youth was wasted by those incompetent people."
Bureaucratic waste, well, it was a mistake for you to leave, but it was an even bigger mistake for him to stay."
Glass raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Oh?"
"It's not good for Martin to stay in the FBI. You know the reason. And you, although you may not have been promoted, but at least you are engaged in a job you like and a meaningful job. Based on this, you are still better than him.
, so although Martin can make money, he still envies you."
Glass's expression changed subtly. He was silent for a moment and suddenly said: "Haha..."
With a dry laugh, Glass suddenly said to the waiter: "Bring me a bottle of beer."
Gao Yi whispered: "They don't sell alcohol."
"No, they sell, get four bottles of beer."
After saying that, Glass said to Gao Yi: "I'll please."
Even asking for a beer is worthy of a solemn shout-out. Alas, there is really nothing I can say about these people.
Gao Yi could only happily accept Glass's kindness.
When the beer came, Glass raised the bottle to Gao Yi, took a sip, and then continued: "Martin and I entered the FBI at the same time, but 911 happened within two years, and then..."
Shaking his head, Glass continued softly: "Stop talking about this, tell me what you need to do."
It would be nice if Glass started to talk about his past, but it was obvious that Glass would not be driven into tears by Gao Yi for only two sentences.
They say there is a target named Sayib. If you kill him, you can get five million dollars?
No, I definitely can’t say that, because there are too many things that need to be divided. It’s better to spend some money to buy some conveniences from Grasse, without sharing, and just do it yourself.
But spending 30,000 to 20,000 yuan to rent a car and buy some weapons in Grasse doesn't make much sense.
Because regardless of whether it is a confidant or a friend, it is all an emotional matter, and emotions are unreliable. If you really want to make a relationship particularly stable, it must be beneficial in the end.
Because of money, strangers can be half-brothers, even biological fathers and sons who are not related by blood.
There are too many cases of brothers turning against each other and father and son becoming enemies because of money.
So $30,000 or $20,000 won't work, it's too little. It's probably impossible to really tempt Glass with less than $100,000.
It's not possible to give it away for free. Glass isn't worth much now, so Gao Yi wouldn't even give it two or three hundred thousand.
So how do you find something for Glass that makes a lot of money and allows him to make money?
This is really a problem.
Gao Yi looked aside and looked at Lin Xianghua.
Glass works in the Pentagon. He is a member of the newly established Defense Covert Operations Agency. The intelligence unit under the Pentagon must be focused on military intelligence, which means that he may be able to get involved with mercenaries.
And Lin Xianghua still has a revenge he wants to avenge.
"Sorry, excuse me, I have a word with my brother."
Gao Yi stood up, sat down at a table nearby, turned his back to Glass, and whispered to Lin Xianghua: "Um, do you want revenge?"
Lin Xianghua was stunned for a moment, but immediately nodded and said: "You're asking about the predators? I think so, I definitely think so, but there's no chance."
Gao Yi said seriously: "Then how much are you willing to pay for revenge?"
Lin Xianghua was stunned again.
Gao Yi whispered: "You have some money now. Now I ask you, how much are you willing to pay to kill the leader of the predators?"
Lin Xianghua said without hesitation: "Everyone can come out, otherwise I will have no chance to take revenge."
"Are you really willing to give up?"
"I'm willing to give it up! It's a big deal and I'll make more money."
Gao Yi thought for a while and said: "Then you can pay 300,000 yuan. I'll give you 300,000 yuan to kill the predators. If it works, you pay. If it doesn't, forget it."
Lin Xianghua said in surprise: "Really? Is it possible? Just three hundred thousand?"
Gao Yi nodded, patted Lin Xianghua's shoulder, stood up and returned to Lagos.
Gao Yi smiled, and then whispered: "I know you are working in the National Defense Covert Operations Bureau, so I just want to ask, what is your bureau responsible for?"
Glass glanced at Gao Yi warily and said nothing. He just raised his beer and took a sip. His dissatisfaction with Gao Yi was already obvious in his eyes.
Gao Yi spread his hands and said: "I have no intention of inquiring into your work secrets. I just want to know, since you are an intelligence unit of the military, are you familiar with the mercenaries here in the Middle East? There is a mercenary named Marauder.
Tuan, do you know?"
Putting down the bottle, Lagos whispered: "What?"
Gao Yi smiled and said: "We are here to kill the predators. I wonder if you can provide convenience here. If so, I am willing to pay you three hundred thousand dollars."
Glass' eyes suddenly blinked. Although he still looked calm, he said too much.
"What, you want to deal with the Marauder mercenary group?"
"Yes."
Gao Yi spread his hands and said: "We are killers. Killers have a little trouble dealing with mercenaries, so I want to seek outside help. If you can..."
"Can!"
Glass nodded, and then he said seriously: "Leave the matter to me. I guarantee that the Marauder Mercenary Group will be completely wiped out. How do you plan to pay for it?"
Gao Yi just wanted to get some information from Lagos and let him help create an opportunity to kill the predators. The premise was that he only wanted to kill the boss of the predators and did not want to destroy the entire predators.
But now, Glass is talking about completely destroying the predators, and he looks very confident.
Gao Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Do you want cash or something? We can send the money to the place you designate in the United States."
Glass licked his lips, thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "I ask you to transfer the money to my designated account, safe, laundered money."
Gao Yi nodded and said with a smile: "No problem."
