Chapter 0883 Gray
Michelle's father was a typical old white man, strong, stubborn, arrogant, wielding great power, flexible and ruthless. But for him, who is middle-aged and has a daughter, there is nothing more important in this world than Michelle.
"Before today's meeting, the Secretary of State said to me, 'Hey, George, are you cheating on those Mexicans again?' ”
At the dining table, the old man cut a piece of foie gras and stuffed it into his mouth, and by the way, he told an interesting story about his work. His eyebrows fluttered, Michelle only had to be a good girl and listen quietly.
"I said to the Secretary of State: 'You old dog is slandering, I'm fighting crime. Hahaha......" The old man's voice was low and powerful, he was the kind of unscrupulous person.
The old lady listened to her husband's jokes, and when the dinner was almost over, she said at the right time: "George, your baby is a little troubled now, and she needs your help." ”
"Really?" The old man immediately put down his knife and fork, took a sip of wine, cleared his throat, wiped his mouth with a napkin, put on a serious face and said to his daughter:
"Beautiful and lovely little angel, the most capable and respected old George in Washington is always at your service. Please ask, I can't wait to get it done. ”
"Daddy." Michelle shook her shoulders and said in a coquettish tail, "Can you be serious?" I'm not a child. I was just a little bothered, and I felt like maybe I had made a mistake. ”
"Everybody makes mistakes." The old man stretched out his hands, looked at his wife, and then looked at the servants around him, "We are the Lamb of the Lord, and we are not perfect by nature. God will forgive us, right? ”
The servants next to him all nodded, but they all thought to themselves, "Yes, God will forgive." But old George, you will only forgive very little. You're the real old dog, and a bad tooth can drench the blood of any opponent. ”
Michelle lowered her head, "What if I, as a CIA employee, went to meet with the enemy's high-level officials in private and reached a cooperation agreement with them?" ”
"It's a sign of your courage." The old man said with certainty, "Who else has the courage to take on such a heavy responsibility except you?" But I have to say that this is very dangerous, and we must be informed before we act. ”
Michelle nodded obediently, "So it's not treason for me to do this?" ”
Yes..... The old man scratched his sparse scalp and was silent for half a minute before speaking again: "Child, you have indeed grown up. I can't protect you forever, I have to tell you some survival tips. ”
Michelle's eyes widened and she listened attentively.
The old man continued: "The top leaders of all countries in the world are closely connected and inextricably linked. For example, Gaddafi in Libya put his children and property in Europe, but this did not prevent him from often falling out with Europe.
Another example is that the oligarchs in Russia like to keep in touch with our members of Congress. Big dogs in the Middle East keep hundreds of billions of dollars of state money in Western banks.
The old dogs of Congress are stretching their tentacles everywhere. The rulers of this world build a tight web that is connected to each other.
You may see that the two countries are like mortal enemies, constantly fighting each other in public opinion. However, the high-level leaders of the two countries are always in contact to ensure that the situation is under control. For example, we have Cuba, we have the former Soviet Union.
This is the case at the top, and even more so at the level of implementation. For example, the CIA you worked for. In order to make money, the CIA itself is engaged in the smuggling of contraband and the sale of intelligence.
Another example is our overseas garrison, generals in order to have a good life after retirement, junior officers in order to live comfortably after retirement, and defense contractors in order to earn super profits, they do a lot of illegal things. ”
Michelle opened her mouth slightly, and after a long time, she whispered, "I've heard of these things. ”
The old man shook his head, "No, child. What you know is only the tip of the iceberg, and many evil and ugly things are not suitable for being put on the table. Even if you try to imagine it, you can't measure the sin itself.
Don't the members of Congress know about these evils? Aware. Is anyone going to check it? It cannot be said that there is no at all, but only a very small number of people have been investigated.
Let me give you another example, the Fed has never been audited since its inception. And the Federal Reserve issues money, and the loopholes in it are so big that no one dares to touch them, and everyone turns a blind eye. ”
When the topic was discussed, the old man leaned down lightly on the dining chair, chose a comfortable position, and said: "I have worked in the Army, in the CIA, in the Department of Defense, and I have met many honest people.
Those guys often climb up from the bottom, and most of them work in middle-level positions for a lifetime, and when they are older, they get a meager pension and live a dull life.
Either they will become substitutes, sacrificed in endless intrigues, and even their names will be sealed in the archives and will not be declassified until fifty years later.
Michelle, my darling, my little angel. I don't want you to be too upright. It's not good, it's really bad.
You can't have political cleanliness, you can't have moral naivety. We have to admit that the complex world is not black and white, and human nature is more gray. ”
After a long talk, the old man drank some wine to moisten his throat. The old lady nodded beside her, "Michelle, your father is right. The world is more in grey, so we have to be careful. ”
Michelle argued: "What if the opponent becomes stronger because of our cooperation and threatens us?" ”
"That's a good question." The old man laughed and said, "First of all, the opponent will definitely not become stronger just because we are working with it. It takes more effort to become stronger than you can imagine.
Second, mankind will always look only at the present, and can expect to be a prophet in five years. In my more than 60 years of experience, I have never seen anyone who can accurately predict what will happen in 10 years. We don't have to worry. ”
The old lady also said, "Child, you don't have to be too afraid. Let's talk about business, doing business with enemies is very exciting, and the profits are also very high. Isn't that right, George? ”
The old man no longer maintained a serious expression. He slapped the table and shouted cheerfully, "That's right, I like to do business with the enemy, it's very exciting." What contraband does the bad boy want to buy? ”
Michelle's mood eased slightly, "That bad boy is not going to buy, he is going to sell, to open up the luxury market in New York." It is mainly aimed at women in the affluent class. ”
'Samples' were taken out one by one, including jewellery and cosmetics. Each piece is luxurious and breathtaking.
The old lady took a fancy to those pieces of jewelry and decided to collect them. In addition, she also tried the skincare product 'Black Mud' and was so impressed by its effect that she decided to recommend it to the outside world herself.
"Luxury, the risk is low. However, these products must be tested first, especially skin care products, which need to be confirmed by the FDA for safety. Jewelry should also be made sure that there are no radiation hazards. ”
The old man, a little more cautious, called his assistant and demanded that all the 'samples' be sent to the specialized department.
"In principle, as long as the profit is sufficient, I have no objection to cooperating with the Holy Light. Of course, this kind of cooperation must find an agency channel, which can be quickly cleared up if necessary. By the way, have you estimated your earnings expectations? ”
Hearing her father's support, Michelle was still very happy. She is very satisfied with the various 'samples' provided by Zhou Qingfeng, and she is also optimistic about its market prospects.
"Profit expectation, about two or three million dollars a month." Michelle couldn't be sure, so she could only give an approximate number. She agreed with Zhou Qingfeng to score three or seven points, because the latter refused to accept half points even if he died.
"Two or three hundred million dollars." The old man and the old lady were quite satisfied with this amount, but they quickly exclaimed: "Two or three million dollars a month? ”
This is more than nine years, and the monthly income of 20 or 30 million is a lot of money.
With so much profit, the business with the 'Holy Light' is still very promising!
