My American magical life
Chapter 234 - 234 93 The moment it started he stepped on the chessboard

234: Chapter 93: The moment it started, he stepped on the chessboard.

234: Chapter 93: The moment it started, he stepped on the chessboard.

When he came, he was in the wealthy woman’s Mushang.

When he left, the Bentley had surprisingly become his own.

No, this car was lent to Cheng Daqi by Temir, just for a few days.

It was a real luxury car, the kind Cheng Daqi couldn’t even bear to buy in his previous life.

Considering the gains, Cheng Daqi hadn’t come to meet with Temir tonight; he had purely outmaneuvered him.

But Cheng Daqi still felt a bit of regret.

It’s a pity, the most important matter wasn’t suitable to be discussed right now.

The gap between Temir and his position was too great; even though Cheng Daqi was no longer the penniless wanderer he once was, in the eyes of the black-haired wealthy woman, his status still wasn’t enough.

The black-haired wealthy woman’s affection was very beautiful, without a single problem, but her overpowering assertiveness seemed very presumptuous.

‘Am I angry?’

Cheng Daqi was unsure whether he was more angry or worried.

In any case, he had intended to discuss more profitable matters with Temir, but Temir’s antics tonight had dissuaded him.

People’s thoughts do not communicate with one another; Cheng Daqi didn’t know that Temir had already sworn in his heart never to show him a pleasant face again.

Of course, even if he did understand this, he wouldn’t easily entangle himself with Temir in any substantial interests again.

The ‘love-hate’ cooperation with Temir was too thrilling, especially since it also involved Gru.

Gru dreaded Temir’s power, so he was cautious with his threats toward Cheng Daqi.

If he really fell out with the black-haired wealthy woman, the best outcome for Cheng Daqi would be to obediently become Gru’s dog.

Cheng Daqi planned in his heart that for future business operations, he should still avoid Temir.

Risk control is an arcane art, but once Cheng Daqi truly considered becoming Gru’s dog, he couldn’t dare to trust Temir unconditionally like before.

….

Outside the car window, the wind and rain raged, but the Mushang drove steadily.

Cheng Daqi sat in the car, silently strategizing his future plans.

The company in Hua Country was the next focus; with Sun Ge’s money and team coming in, the next step of expansion had to be both fast and stable.

Speed was the core!

Cheng Daqi had worked so hard, tossing and turning, and finally equipped Shanhaiguan Media with enough ammunition to grab the market’s initiative.

As for how to be stable, that would depend on Cheng Daqi’s maneuvering.

The most pressing issue at hand was domestic trending topics and the paid internet commenters; this needed to be dealt with immediately tomorrow.

The live broadcast had been effective, and the content was fantastic, it just lacked a little push.

For matters in Hua Country, there were only these two for now.

The next round of funding for Shanhaiguan Media wasn’t urgent; ten million was enough to burn for at least three months.

Three months later, the identity business that Eris and Li Haiping arranged for Cheng Daqi would also take off.

To Cheng Daqi, this cash cow was crooked and even treaded on the edge of the law.

But America’s laws were a joke.

Cheng Daqi’s business partners were interest groups within the American civil service system; they dealt with genuine identities, and moreover, Cheng Daqi had several layers of firewalls to isolate risk.

This was what he had told Li Haiping: as long as Li Haiping didn’t leave Saint Rodu, if the sky fell, Gru would be there to bear it.

From this perspective, taking the great risk to gain control over Gru was the most successful gamble Cheng Daqi had made since setting foot in America.

…

In America, there were more matters, all very important.

Topping the list, the most vital was the launch of the new company.

Everything was ready, and the recruitment of employees could start tomorrow.

The new company had many aspects that needed attention; technical personnel needed to be recruited, and influencers for sales couldn’t be overlooked.

Cheng Daqi was prepared to play a cunning game; he had long prepared a very tempting model for America’s iron horses.

As for scriptwriters, there was no rush; American scriptwriters were made of gold, and for the moment, Cheng Daqi couldn’t afford them.

The company was just starting, but the most core talents had already been secured.

Kernor and Scott, both of these guys were talented, one with innate abstract saintly body and the other with acquired influencer saintly body.

Whether it was the simple black brother kung fu kid, or the melodramatic cuckolded golden-haired old soldier, both were top-level character settings.

If they stayed true to form, Cheng Daqi was confident that he could use them to get his new company off to a smooth start.

There’s a saying that’s quite fitting: hidden in the bag, the tip emerges when upright; whether their talent could transform into real traffic ultimately depended on them.

Thinking of this, Cheng Daqi directly began to poach talent, persuading Lisa to join the new company as the manager.

He unlocked his phone, first to ask what Lisa really wanted to say last night.

Interrupted by Temir at that time, Cheng Daqi had actually overlooked the matter that Lisa wanted to ask him something.

Now it was just the right opening for a conversation.

Cheng texted, ‘Lisa, what did you want to ask me last night?’

Without waiting for a reply, Cheng Daqi was not in a rush.

The fair-haired Caucasian lady was kind-hearted yet astute; she acted methodically and had a talent for assessing people.

She had created businesses, marketed, and managed; she truly was a top-tier elite woman who could handle things on her own.

If he could pull her in, having a highly educated and ethical beauty as the general manager would greatly enhance employees’ recognition of the company.

Later on, Cheng Daqi would play the ‘good cop’ at the company while Lisa played ‘bad cop’, firmly handling various characters.

One word: perfect.

Therefore, for Cheng Daqi, Lisa was a top-tier talent he was determined to acquire.

The new company in America was also linked to another matter, and that was to push Zhao Hongjin to the top, thoroughly binding her to Shanhaiguan Media.
