Chapter 307 Rebirth of Grace
Not long after they joined forces, everyone lacked understanding of each other, but needless to say, senior executives who have been sitting in offices at the headquarters for a long time will definitely not be able to personally handle those specific things, so in any case, it must be Joelson who takes charge.
Since all specific matters have to be handled by Jolson, it would be really strange if Jolson still can't climb up.
"Let's go, find a place where we can eat and talk. I'm a little hungry now."
Crawford didn't even dare to have a meal together, but Joelson certainly did.
Joelson got in the car, and then Gao Yi said in a very calm tone: "Crawford looks like he has no composure. I don't like the look in his eyes. I feel like he is a person who can't hide secrets."
.”
"Well, well, what should I say about this..."
After hesitating for a moment, Joelson finally said: "Skin color and image are Crawford's advantages. You know, the last president was also black, so the CIA should also have dark-skinned senior officials."
"Oh, so that's it."
"Crawford is already the best choice. At least he is not that greedy. He used to be very cautious. To put it bluntly, he is timid. Apart from his salary and his due share,
He never took money he shouldn’t have taken.”
Gao Yi suddenly said: "The share you deserve?"
"Yeah, don't you know? Everyone at the middle level and above gets paid, one hundred and twenty thousand dollars for a coffee cup. Do you think only the Pentagon does this? The CIA is the same. One of our surveillance drones is quoted at five hundred thousand dollars.
The actual price is US$20,000, and the US$480,000 is allocated to everyone.”
Systemic and semi-open corruption, it turns out that the United States cannot escape the law of dynastic cycles.
Joelson continued in a low voice: "My annual after-tax salary is 100,000, which is already a very high income. Crawford's annual after-tax salary is 180,000. His salary level is much higher than mine, but my annual extra
The stipend is about $50,000 to $80,000, and Crawford can get $200,000 to $300,000."
Gao Yi said in surprise: "A lot."
"It's a lot, but these are the most basic subsidies. People at the bottom can't get them, but those who do the actual work must get at least 30% or more. In other words, some people can get several million a year, but
Crawford only has a basic allowance."
After finishing speaking, Joelson spread his hands and said: "Subsidy is a nice way of saying black money, and it is also a public statement. There are about four thousand people in the CIA who are eligible to receive fixed subsidies, and there are at least two thousand people at my level and above. Crawford
There are at least a hundred people above the level of De."
Gao Yi said in shock: "How many billions will you get in that year?"
"CIA funding is confidential, but the Pentagon's military budget this year is 580 billion U.S. dollars. Even if the CIA only has a budget of 5.8 billion U.S. dollars, it is enough."
Gao Yi swallowed. Just now he thought he was the rich man, but now he doesn't think so anymore.
"Crawford paid a lot of money to send his son to Harvard. He wanted to maintain a decent life, but he didn't have that much money. A major characteristic of black people is to spend all the money they have, well, say
It seems like Crawford is doing well, at least he is still willing to spend money on education."
Gao Yi nodded and said: "Yes, this is already very rare."
"People send their children to aristocratic schools, and he goes too, but he doesn't want to think about how much money he earns when others make millions a year."
Gao Yi immediately said: "Isn't it right? Crawford can earn four to five million a year, isn't that enough?"
"The problem is that the time for him to get money is too short. Now it only lasts for more than three years. In the past, he only had a few hundred thousand at most, so he lacked accumulation."
Yes, Crawford's foundation is still too shallow.
Joelson continued: "If it weren't for you killing the hurricane and typhoon in Freewind, Deputy Director Panetta wouldn't value you. If he values you, I would be useful. I would be useful, and Crawford would become
It worked, and then a powerful person like Deputy Director Panetta found Crawford and contacted you through me, and that’s what happened.”
Gao Yi nodded.
Joelson said: "Ten million dollars will satisfy Crawford, but Deputy Director Panetta definitely doesn't care about this amount of money. If you want to impress him, you need more money, or something more important than money."
.”
"For example, political achievements?"
"Yes, you can either defeat your competitors or make political achievements that others cannot match. But in general, I think Deputy Director Panetta will not be satisfied with the benefits we can provide now. He is just eager to
Fighting Deputy Chief Porter McLaughlin by free wind."
At this point, Joelson suddenly said: "You know, the director of the CIA is a mascot and represents the White House, but the CIA's deputy directors are the ones who really do the work, and the only ones who really know the business are the deputy directors."
"I really don't know this..."
Joelson spread his hands and said: "Four deputy directors and four directors, these eight people are the people with real power. Now Porter McLaughlin is the deputy director and director of the Intelligence Division, and Panetta
He is the deputy director and the director of the Management Division. Well, logically speaking, the Management Division can supervise the Intelligence Division, but the Intelligence Division is dissatisfied with his management, so these are the two factions that compete most fiercely."
"What about the Operations Division and the Science and Technology Division?"
"The Operations Division and the Intelligence Division have always been integrated. They are the same faction. The Science and Technology Division is not very important and has taken refuge in Panetta's Management Division."
Gao Yi would never know this level of secrets if it weren't for Joelson, the mole.
Wait, how can you still call Jolson a mole? But it’s not right to say that Jolson is an undercover agent. Let’s call Jolson an informant.
"Crawford is now the Cybersecurity Office under the Science and Technology Department. It is actually useless and has no real power. But the Science and Technology Department is Panetta's territory, so Crawford is naturally managed by Panetta. He can only
People on the line, I don’t know if Crawford will tell Panetta that he charged you $10 million, I don’t think so.”
Gao Yi thought for a while and said: "Definitely not. He doesn't have the courage. He is reluctant to part with it. You can tell from what he just said. He has no intention of sharing the money with others."
At this point, Joelson finally showed his fangs.
"Do you think it is possible for me to replace Crawford? Because if it were me, I would directly give Panetta five million! Based on this, I feel that I have an advantage over Crawford."
He really didn't wait for a moment, he came up with the idea of replacing it, and immediately started poaching.
Joelson looked at Gao Yi nervously.
Gao Yi thought for a moment and said: "It's too urgent, too fast."
Joelson whispered: "Of course, I don't plan to replace Crawford immediately. After all, we haven't achieved anything yet. I think it will definitely be enough in about two years."
"If you follow your approach, two years will be enough to replace Crawford, but it won't be enough."
Gao Yi looked at Joelson and sighed, and said: "You are more generous than Crawford, but you are still petty when you do things. Brother, you are not so good at being sociable."
Joelson said in surprise: "I gave out half of the money that I deserved. Isn't that enough? Isn't that stingy?"
Gao Yi said calmly: "If I had received these ten million, I would have given them all to Deputy Director Panetta and told him that the money was a gift, but without Panetta, I would not be qualified at all."
Take ten million, so I gave the money to Deputy Director Panetta and asked him to distribute it."
Joelson's eyes widened.
Gao Yi smiled and whispered: "You have to make it clear whether you really earned the money by yourself. Obviously, Crawford was able to collect money only because Panetta assigned him a task, so
This money was not earned by Crawford himself, it was given to him by Panetta, so of course he has to ask Panetta to distribute the money."
Joelson took a deep breath.
Gao Yi continued: "I won't say that the money is given to Panetta. What if Panetta accepts it? So the focus of this approach is distribution. First of all, asking Panetta to distribute is to respect him to the greatest extent.
authority, and then I will take whatever Panetta gives me. If Panetta takes half and gives me half, then Panetta is a good boss to work with. If Panetta takes 70% and gives me 30%, then
This boss is not bad. If Panetta takes 90% and gives me 10%, then this boss is very stingy, but you can still make money with him. If Panetta takes all, then this boss is a bastard. There will be more in the future.
Chance to kill him."
Joelson was stunned and said: "What if Panetta gave you all?"
"It's impossible, absolutely impossible. It may happen occasionally in the future, but it's impossible the first time. He knows this is the time when the distribution ratio is set, so how could he not want it."
Jolson swallowed and said in a daze: "Then... what about Panetta giving me 70% and keeping 30% for myself? You didn't say just now, do you think this is not possible?"
Gao Yi smiled and said: "Take 30% for yourself and 70% for your subordinates. Such a boss is the best boss in the world. From now on, I will work for him risking my life. I have to protect the boss's safety even if I die."
I can't let him die, there are not many bosses like him, don't worry, you won't meet him."
Joelson hesitated for a moment, and finally said uncertainly: "Well, is there a possibility that Panetta will take 10% and give you the remaining 90%?"
"You take 10% and give me 90%? Then this is not my boss, this is my mother, my mother!"
Gao Yi's words made Joelson laugh, and then he quickly said: "Generally speaking, you call me dad at this time."
Gao Yi shook his head and said: "No, no father can be so kind to his children. Only a biological mother can, because only maternal love is the most selfless."
Joelson nodded heavily and said, "That seems to be true."
Gao Yi said seriously: "Position levels need to be determined step by step based on time, but power does not. According to your approach, you will definitely be able to climb to Crawford's position within two years, but according to my approach, it will take up to half a year.
The real power in your hands definitely exceeds that of Crawford, believe it or not?"
Joelson said quietly: "Thank you, you taught me a lot. My father is a farmer, he can't teach me this. Until today, I don't know how to get around and how to climb up. I feel like I have been reborn."
,Thanks."
Joelson was a bit arrogant. How could he say such a thing? Isn't this just calling Gao Yi daddy in disguise?
Gao Yi thought about it, and he felt that the idiom "En Tong Zai Zai" was quite appropriate. Unfortunately, he just didn't know how to translate it for Joelson.
But it’s okay if Joelson has this intention.
