It can be done for 2 billion, so there is a price difference of 8 billion.
Is Gao Yi the one who missed the eight billion?
Of course, Gao Yi is indeed short of eight billion. If he is going to get these eight billion, he will not have to worry in this life, the next life, and the next ten lives.
But the problem is, what Gao Yi is doing now is not the middleman business, what he is doing is saving his elder brother from fire and water.
If you make a profit at this time, you are taking advantage of the situation.
Therefore, Gao Yi did not earn a penny. He saved Sharman 8 billion, leaving Sharman with 8 billion less. In this crisis, Sharman could use his precious cash elsewhere.
Asking Panetta to find someone to lobby is only the first and most basic step. The real money to buy a life is national, but eight billion is not a small number anyway. Maybe this small amount of money can make Sharman
Completely out of trouble.
With this mentality, Gao Yi felt much more at ease when he called Sharman again, because he got a very clear response from Panetta, and the matter was settled.
After hanging up Panetta's phone, Gao Yi was about to call Sharman back, and Green and Marina in front of him seemed even more obstructive at the moment.
But there is no way to drive them away.
Yu Qing, these two are now Gao Yi's friends, and friends must have basic trust and respect, so they cannot be driven away.
But Yu Li, these two are one from MI6 and the other from France's General Directorate of External Security. To these agents, favors are nothing and friendship is nothing. If they are told in a blatant manner that the person on the American side is Panetta, then
Wouldn't it mean that Panetta was sold out?
So just now Sharman asked if he could reveal his identity, and Gao Yi said no. He was guarding Green and Marina, not Sharman.
But Gao Yi can't tell Sharman clearly that he can't say that there are two people around me, one is MI6 and the other is the French Foreign Security Service, so I can't say that Panetta is on the American side.
Of course, even if Sharman and Panetta had known each other for a long time, Gao Yi had already connected them and built a bridge, but when it came to such a big matter, Panetta would go crazy and contact Sharman directly.
Why do buyers and sellers in some transactions, who have known each other for a long time, still pay a large commission to the original middleman and continue to trade through the middleman?
That's because it is impossible for buyers and sellers to trade directly. Only through an intermediary can certain security be guaranteed. Only such intermediaries can do business for a long time.
Panetta, there is no nonsense in what he says.
Or maybe there is something else hidden in his seemingly normal words.
This time, Panetta told Gao Yi when he came up. He said, "I know you must call me, but I didn't expect it to be so late. If you don't call, I will have to go to a meeting."
With this sentence, Panetta's superficial meaning was already obvious. He was waiting for Gao Yi's call, and he had been waiting for a long time. If Gao Yi didn't contact him, he would have to go to a meeting.
The surface meaning is obvious, and the subtext is equally obvious. He must have known that Gao Yi would call, which means that Gao Yi must handle this matter. This is to show Gao Yi that no one can take away his identity as a middleman. He did not expect it to be so late.
It's because you're moving too slowly. What's going on with Sharman? This meeting is a general term, which means he won't care if it's too late.
Gao Yi didn't think about it at first, so he replied, "You know why I called you."
Panetta was talking about the relationship between you and Sharman. I would feel strange if I didn't make this call.
At this point, Gao Yi finally understood that Panetta would not have any direct contact with Sharman. Since the two of them did not contact each other, Sharman could only contact Panetta through Gao Yi.
That's why Gao Yi said that he had just received the news.
And Panetta would say that your news is very slow.
In fact, there was not a word of nonsense, it was just that Panetta was used to saying all the information in one sentence with two meanings. Gao Yi was not used to it yet, so he just said one layer.
So until Gao Yi decided to be honest and tell Panetta what happened, saying that he called Panetta as soon as he found out about it, before he had time to contact Sharman, and he said that Sharman was not that ignorant.
The stingy guy asked, could you tell him what happened? Then Panetta immediately told the truth in a straightforward way.
Then Panetta said what was not a hint, which was that the White House still had not made a final decision and things could still turn around.
Panetta would not tell Sharman this directly, and Panetta would not even answer Sharman's call.
The reason is also very simple. If Panetta directly contacted Sharman, then he was committing treason. It’s okay that the matter was settled safely in the end. As long as the White House finally decided to kill Sharman, then Panetta who directly contacted Sharman was
If not, it’s basically the end.
But contacting Gao Yi is completely different.
First of all, Gao Yi has no identity and no national background.
Even if it turns out that Panetta and Gao Yi are closely connected, so what? Isn't it normal for the actual head of an intelligence agency to be in contact with an internationally renowned intelligence broker?
Panetta was able to purchase metallic hydrogen through Gao Yi, so why was it abnormal that he purchased information about Sharman through Gao Yi?
Therefore, the wonderful thing about Gao Yi's identity is that he currently poses no threat to any country. His only clear stance is that he has no stance. In this case, it will be normal for him to deal with anyone.
The most important thing is that Panetta trusts Gao Yi. Judging from the degree of interest binding between him and Gao Yi, even if the matter of lobbying for Sharman is messed up in the end, he does not have to worry about being blamed by Gao Yi. First of all,
Safety is the greatest guarantee.
For Sharman, his own channels are useless, and the White House does not answer his calls, so of course he can only rely on Gao Yi.
Having said that, I need to expand on why the communication channel between the two countries can be cut off, but Gao Yi, a temporary broker who is not even a third party, can speak. The reason is also very simple, because time
Tight, Sharman's matter is huge, and the United States may want to take the opportunity to kill Sharman, so many people are unwilling to express their position in a hurry, and they dare not accept Sharman's money.
Going through formal channels for anything is bound to be cumbersome, and it may get better after a few days, but what we need now is to race against time, and there are still a few days to waste.
It's not that Shaman can't do it himself, it's just that he doesn't do it smoothly here. Although Gao Yi's method here is personal relationships and private transactions, everyone knows that private transactions are the most efficient, so Shaman gave Gao Yi the money without hesitation.
Ten billion dollar authorization.
Just like that, when various factors were added up, Gao Yi became the chosen one, and he had to be.
Now comes the fun.
Did Gao Yi make this phone call in front of Green and Marina and settle this matter? Will it greatly increase the chance of Sharman's escape safely? Will it make them think that the United States is likely to support Sharman instead of adding insult to injury and killing everyone?
.
Since the United States is very likely to support Sharman, what should the United Kingdom do and what should France do?
Even if the two permanent members cannot be allowed to publicly express their support for Sharman, the two permanent members can at least be kept silent for the time being. At least they can make a choice after seeing the direction of the wind.
Don't underestimate this difference. The so-called consensus makes gold. Sometimes, once international public opinion is formed, although it is not decisive, it can still affect the attitude of the big country making the decision.
The decisive role lies in the United States, and Britain and France can only play a supporting role. However, if the five permanent members do not say anything, just dream about a single Constantinople trying to overthrow Sharman.
Gao Yi called Shaman again.
The call was connected immediately.
Gao Yi said without hesitation: "There are 2 billion in total. The first 1.2 billion will be transferred to me immediately, and lobbying will begin immediately. A time limit is given. Within three days, the White House will definitely make a statement! The remaining balance is 800 million.
, paid in full after the White House’s statement, that’s all the money, there are no other fees.”
A conscientious middleman, no increase in price when quantity is increased.
Gao Yi looked at Green and Marina, hesitated, and said: "I will also try it in the UK and France. I can't guarantee it, I can only give it a try."
Green spread his hands, and Marina smiled, but her smile was a little helpless.
Shaman let out a long sigh of relief.
The boulder in my heart cannot be said to have fallen to the ground, but at least it has fallen halfway.
Shaman whispered: "I said ten billion, it is ten billion, you can use it as you like."
Gao Yi now has hundreds of millions but doesn't know how to spend them. If he really takes advantage of several billions, why not just sleep on the money?
Gao Yi is a man who wants to become a Saudi national adviser, not an invisible rich man in the underground world who has money but no place to spend it.
"There are too many places where you need to spend money now. Brother, don't talk about this. Do things first. Give me the money right away. I am in a hurry to pay it. Oh, the British and French sides will be calculated separately. The specific amount will be announced when there is news.
"
"good!"
Shaman didn't say any unnecessary nonsense. He immediately said: "The money has been transferred. Let your financial director take a look. Brother... I'm waiting for your news."
The phone was hung up.
Gao Yi didn't pause. He rushed out, opened the door, and shouted: "Luka!"
Luca walked quickly into the house.
Gao Yi closed the door and whispered to Luka: "Has the money arrived?"
"It's arrived, 1.2 billion U.S. dollars. The source of the funds is relatively obvious and easy to be traced. Now we have too much money, and the account is really not enough..."
"Don't worry so much this time, just transfer 1.2 billion over there first."
Luka whispered: "Over there?"
Talking about things, not people, is the most basic principle of an intermediary. However, Gao Yi's current network of connections is a bit large. He only talks about one side, and who knows which side.
Gao Yi thought for a moment and said: "CIA."
"OK, understand."
Although the money was in and out, and the money was only passed through his hands once, Luca, the financial director, was still very happy, so he only reminded Gao Yi that the security account was not enough, but he was not complaining that the account was not enough.
Chapter completed!
