My American magical life
Chapter 936 - 936 75 Vertical and Horizontal 3 - Only Interests

936: Chapter 75: Vertical and Horizontal 3 – Only Interests 936: Chapter 75: Vertical and Horizontal 3 – Only Interests One’s behavior or way of dealing with the world follows a fixed trajectory; no one can easily transcend themselves, and most of the time, they struggle within the confines of their own limitations.

Niusen was no exception.

As a seasoned politician, he conducted himself with restraint.

Daqi acted wildly, he tolerated it; Daqi put on airs, he grinned and bore it; Daqi made requests, he accommodated them.

In terms of sincerity and acting skills, Niusen accorded Daqi the highest courtesy, even if the Great Commander of America himself arrived, he couldn’t have done any better.

Because Daqi really took him for a ride—his money was tied up in Daqi’s hands; how could Niusen dare to disobey?

Now, however, Niusen declared, “I dare!”

His loud questioning of Daqi’s motives did not mean he wanted to submit; he was haggling!

Poise is crucial.

As Daqi pushed step by step, Niusen was no turtle man; he could stand firm!

“Are you in a hurry?” Daqi wanted to laugh but held back.

The demystification of power takes time.

Once, he was an ordinary person, but now, standing before one of the world’s rulers, he realized just how far he had come.

The so-called political star, the so-called local powerhouse of the Democratic Party, the so-called America First California Governor, is just another big dummy who gets snipped and tosses and turns at night, unable to sleep.

From this perspective, Niusen is no different from those pitiful small investors trapped by A-shares and funds.

“You’re still in the mood to laugh, Chan?

Shameless, arrogant, who do you think you are?”

Daqi thought of a reaction, but Niusen kept up the pressure.

Just moments ago, it was Daqi pushing to the limit, now it’s Niusen’s turn.

Has the offense and defense switched…?

Of course not!!

“Yeah, you have a complaint?

You’re going to tell your dear auntie you got scammed out of three hundred million in cryptocurrency?

Or are you willing to jeopardize your political career and have a fallout with me?

Or maybe, drag the California Clique into the water and fight us?”

Not striving ordinarily, facing a three-fold choice when push comes to shove, he is still forced.

Niusen’s expression was spectacular.

He charged, and Daqi returned with a slap, smacking him fiercely.

Governor, huh?

I really won’t give you face!

What can you do to me?

Three options, each more ominous than the last!

Niusen, at least in this round, you’re not in the position to negotiate with me!

Is Daqi shameless?

Exceedingly!

But is that a problem?

Darlings, shamelessness is a moral standard, and illegality is a societal rule; these scales of judgment have nothing to do with the game between Daqi and Niusen, not even half a cent!

If morality were so effective, then the world’s rulers would be a succession of saints.

But if you look at history books, how many rulers lived by devouring others!

If law was so effective, Rome would not have fallen, and even the great Qin dynasty wouldn’t have had a chance to emerge—rituals and laws are laws, too!

“Chan, are you against us, the California Clique in California?”

Niusen eased up a bit, waving a big stick as a warning in response.

Yes, I’m under your control.

But I’m not a clay Bodhisattva!

I’m the giant beam set across the ocean on the West Coast, the pillar supporting the heavens, you get it?

As a mid-generation leader of the California Clique, I, Niusen, have the support of big shots; I have the strongest political force in America backing me!

A falling out?

You dare to overturn the table, and I can end you!

“Since when do you represent the California Clique?

Since when does the California Clique represent California?”

It seemed the two had fallen out, but in reality, they were still negotiating the price.

Niusen’s bargaining chips were almost all out, and Daqi made it clear he wasn’t buying it.

Yes, your California Clique is impressive.

But I’m not weak!

California is vast, far beyond what your California Clique can represent!

Influence is sometimes a matter of belief; without belief, it does not exist.

Often, whether something can be achieved depends only on the courage to step up at a crucial moment.

Now, this is a crucial moment in the negotiation between Daqi and Niusen regarding their interests, where the forces behind Daqi contrast the California Clique as if an eight-year-old child faced Tyson.

But Daqi is not weak!

Because of the initiative, Daqi has obtained what could be a fatal advantage in this game for Niusen!

“Alright, let’s not argue, Chan.

Share your thoughts; I think we can be friends,” said the Governor, softening.

Has he given up resisting, leaving Daqi to manipulate him?

No, Mr.

Governor has come to terms with it.

It doesn’t matter if it looks good or not, I just want my three hundred million Dollars!

Why has Mr.

Governor come to terms with it?

No mystery there; the harder Daqi pushes, the clearer it becomes that Daqi has his desires.

If Daqi is pursuing something, Niusen isn’t worried the negotiation will fail—worst case scenario, he’ll just pull out after this hurdle and deny everything.

This brings us back to that sort of relativity: the harder Daqi pushes, the more flexibility he has.

Hard because he wants a favorable term, soft because he also wants a favorable term.

“New Era’s non-profit certification application is stuck in the State Senate, Mr.

Governor.

Stalling us on this kind of thing doesn’t really affect us.

I brought Lisa to meet you as I want her to interact with you more, after all, I can’t always be available,” Daqi bragged.

Niusen, if there’s anything, Lisa will notify you, got it?

“So I should just forget about that application?”

Mr.

Governor smirked maliciously, playing along with Daqi’s words to set a small trap for him.

You like to show off?

“Hmm, no need to worry about it.

I’ve got a piece of land that I plan to develop into a new private prison.

This matter has nothing to do with BEC; it belongs to New Era.”
