Under normal circumstances, when things develop to this point, the phone call should be hung up.
Panetta bypassed Crawford and Joelson, and personally gave Gao Yi, a collaborator outside the establishment, as the powerful deputy director of the CIA. No, it was not even a collaborator. In Panetta's case, it was at best
Gao Yi, who is regarded as a consumable, has spoken in person for so long, which has given Gao Yi a lot of face.
If Panetta hadn't really wanted to kill Free Wind, and was very eager to kill Free Wind, he would never have been able to say a word to Gao Yi in his life.
So now it's over. From now on, the most I can do is let Joelson contact Gao Yi. The greater possibility is to watch Gao Yi and Free Wind fight, and in the end, he, Panetta, will close the door and beat the dog.
The destruction of the remaining one is the end.
But the problem is that Gao Yi is unwilling to let things develop like this.
After finally pulling Panetta to the edge of the pit, how could I not let him lower his head to see the gold inside?
So when Panetta said his concluding remarks, Gao Yi said without hesitation: "I understand, but there is another question. Who will get the 50 million that should be allocated to the CIA in the plan?"
Panetta must have a big question mark on his head.
Jolson shook his head and made a gesture, indicating that Panetta knew there would be money, but didn't know there would be so much money.
Panetta didn't make a sound for three seconds, so Gao Yi knew that this number was enough to shock him.
So Gao Yi continued: "One code equals one code. Regardless of the completeness or credibility of the plan, I must take these 50 million because I can get the support of the CIA. I am willing to pay this money."
Yes, even if it accounts for half of the profit of the entire transaction, it will be no problem, but I paid a high cost and took a lot of risks. In the end, I needed to pay for it myself to complete the victory over Free Wind. So no matter whether it is two
Ten million or thirty million, I won’t pay this money.”
What excuse did Gao Yi use to contact Panetta? Money, but the amount of money was that the cost was 20 million and the asking price was 30 million.
But now, after Panetta completed the key step of the plan, he just revealed his identity and then ran away without mentioning the money. How could Gao Yi let him get his wish?
Panetta felt that just revealing his identity would be worth 30 million. Gao Yi knew who he was, and even with his courage, he didn't dare to ask for money again.
The wishful thinking was like this, but Gao Yi continued to ask him for money, which means that Gao Yi didn't know how to flatter himself and was seeking his own death.
But, but, but, what about the 50 million Gao Yi mentioned?
Give 50 million, want 30 million?
So what does the 20 million price difference mean?
Is it really one code for one code?
But wait, why didn't Crawford mention it?
The amount of information in such a sentence directly burned Panetta's CPU, and Panetta, whose head was smoking, was unable to respond immediately.
After a while, Panetta finally said calmly: "What does fifty million mean?"
The tone remained unchanged, but the pause of a few seconds had betrayed Panetta.
Well, it seems that this deputy director has never seen big money, so 50 million just blinded him.
Gao Yi raised his voice slightly and said seriously: "I have contact with the Pentagon, the French Foreign Security Service, not to mention the relationship with the Saudi National Intelligence Agency. Of course I have to do something to protect these resources.
Business, big business!”
Panetta said softly: "Well, yes, this resource is very good. It would be a pity not to use it."
"So I have to make it clear that while I am doing this business to make money, I will kill Free Wind at the same time. I am not doing this business just to kill Free Wind. Sir, you have to understand that there is a difference!"
"Yes, that's right. It solves troubles and threats while doing business. This is of course the best choice."
How humble Gao Yi was just now, how tough Gao Yi is now.
Gao Yi said in a deep voice: "Then the question is, my business, the money I make, and the costs I am willing to pay when looking for partners, these are all my business, right?"
"Yes, that's right."
"But solving Free Wind, whether it is to lure Free Wind out or finally kill Free Wind, is not my main problem, so why should I bear this part of the cost? Sir, I respect you very much, but from a business perspective,
There is no way I can afford this money."
Panetta took a breath and said: "It makes sense, it is indeed the case."
Gao Yi continued: "Can Joelson really help me establish contact with the CIA? In other words, can he act as the middleman, can Mr. Crawford solve my problem? This is a big business, I
I am willing to distribute part of the profits to the partners, but I will never use the money to solve other people's problems. So, sir, this is my plan."
Panetta whispered: "Tell me your plan."
"You pay me 30 million first, and I will use 20 million to pay the mercenaries' commission. The remaining 10 million is the profit I deserve. Although it is not much, I must take this money. I am a killer.
It is not a free killer, the symbolic value of 10 million must not be less."
Panetta took a breath and said: "With the strength and fame of the garden or the hanging garden, only earning 10 million is indeed a symbolic price."
Gao Yi said calmly: "But now I am seeking a transformation. I will make at least hundreds of millions in profit from an arms business, and the CIA can give me a lot of help, so I am willing to establish cooperation with the CIA, and this business is perfect for the plan to kill the free wind."
It fits well, so it was integrated into one plan, but in the final analysis, it is still two parts, so the problem is, Joelson can't give me the money I deserve, and Mr. Crawford can't promise me the money I deserve.
,Then, who will pay the money?"
Panetta finally figured out the twists and turns.
Gao Yi wants to give money, fifty million, but he also wants money, thirty million.
According to the way the Angsa people do business, these are really two different things.
The key point is whether to take the 50 million first or give the 30 million first.
If you take first and then give, Panetta will be very happy to accept it, but if you give first and then take, Panetta cannot bear it.
Because 30 million is really difficult to give. It’s not that Panetta doesn’t have the financial power, but that using such a large sum of money leaves too many loopholes.
Dealing with the free wind is to stab one's own people in the back, and leaving this handle is not a good thing. The most important thing is that once the free wind is destroyed, the other faction will definitely not give up. In the future, there will probably be people chasing after them to dig deeper. If this is really the case,
Panetta couldn't stand the clues people had dug up based on the flow of funds.
Panetta can avoid risks by not spending public funds out of his own pocket, but the problem is that Panetta has to be able to do so.
Originally, Gao Yi was worried about whether the 20 million price difference could impress Panetta, but now it seems that 20 million is enough, and there is no need to think of ways to increase it.
Panetta's tone of voice didn't change, but the way he spoke changed. It's not surprising that he wasn't moved.
"Thirty million should indeed be paid to you."
Panetta finally spoke, but he changed the topic and said: "But what about the 50 million?"
Logically speaking, Panetta should hang up the phone. He should ask Joelson about these things first, but the fact that he asked Gao Yi directly showed that he either didn't trust others or couldn't wait.
Too much was too much, and he couldn't take the initiative to talk to Crawford anymore. Gao Yi briefly explained the origin of this arms deal.
The French supplied the goods, the Pentagon shipped the goods, Saudi Arabia paid, and then they took out more arms from Yemen, and finally distributed them to Khalid. After going around for more than 10 million arms, they first took 200 million, and then paid for them.
The arms that come out are sold at real prices.
Inside and outside, it's a profit of over two hundred million, and everyone has a share. If the CIA is willing to participate, it can also get rich. In the end, Khalid can just chew the bones and drink the soup.
Listening to the participants, mainly hearing the profits, I don’t believe that Panetta is not tempted.
I went through all the trouble to get in touch with Panetta personally just for this moment.
After asking about the scale and participants of this business, if Panetta was still willing to hand over full responsibility to Crawford, then Gao Yi would admit it and submit.
Finally, Panetta whispered: "It's a bit ridiculous, but this is the first time I fully understand the entire content of this business."
Why is it ridiculous, because Panetta shouldn't know it now.
Gao Yi should hit the snake and follow the stick, but he seemed very hesitant and entangled. In the end, he could only protect himself and said slightly vigilantly: "This plan was suggested by Joelson, Mr. Crawford
If you agree, he also agrees to the share of dividends. If you don’t know, it’s none of my business.”
Gao Yi's reaction to quickly clearing himself of responsibility was normal.
Panetta said calmly: "Oh, what was Joelson's suggestion? It's a good suggestion."
Gao Yi said in a deep voice: "Can you tell me directly how this plan will proceed and how the money will be paid?"
"Is this okay? I will handle the affairs in Yemen. You don't have to pay 50 million first. Then the 30 million you use to pay the commission will be deducted from the 50 million. Everything will be settled after the matter is completed. In this way, we
Can this save some trouble?"
Gao Yi did not speak. Panetta continued: "Of course, I will take action. The arms are safe in Yemen and I am responsible for transporting them from Yemen to Libya. I will settle the matter after the matter is completed. You will not be at risk."
Gao Yi thought for a while and said: "Final settlement, I agree."
Panetta said seriously: "So, is this kind of transaction only one time, or is it a long-term transaction?"
Gao Yi laughed and said: "Of course it is a long-term business. With all due respect, if I only do it once, why would I want to get on the CIA's line? Crawford's promise to me is..."
"To hell with Crawford!"
After Panetta swore gently, he whispered: "I am very interested in your long-term business. Our cooperation should not be limited to Freestyle. From now on, we will have a single line of contact, and Joelson will be yours."
Contact person, do you think this is okay? If not, I can change someone."
