After Baldwin lit the cigar, Natasha slowly spoke again: "We all know that New York gangs are generally based on common bad needs, and then gain mutual understanding and support, and form a common network by establishing diplomatic relations with each other.
Identification consciousness leads to common criminal behavior. Although everyone's status and role in it are different, their inner purpose is the same. They are all selfish and will bite others for their own purposes."
"People need two things to live in the world, courage and wisdom." Baldwin said: "This is what you once said. Do you want me to back down now?"
Natasha shook her head: "No, of course not. The whole world already knows the boss's courage and wisdom."
"Then I should now let all those who want to share the pie with me realize that going against me will not end well." Baldwin said: "If not, where will my majesty exist?"
"Don't do anything absolutely, but leave room for it." Natasha shook her head gently: "If there is no room for action, we may face some troubles that are more difficult than we imagined in the future."
Baldwin got a little angry: "This is my business! Others who want to get involved should know the consequences!"
"That's for sure." Natasha said: "They already know the consequences. I just remind the boss that enough is enough. If it goes too far, it may cause discomfort."
"I naturally know this in my heart. As of now, I have not done anything excessive." Baldwin said: "I just educated a few people who were blind. Others dare not continue to make mistakes. Of course I don't."
I will continue to do excessive things."
Natasha smiled: "What if someone gives you enough temptation to continue sharing the pie with you?"
"Impossible." Baldwin said: "I believe everyone should know that their own life is the most important. If there is no life, everything else is nonsense."
"The boss has always taught us to study the Chinese people. He told me the same and he told Courtney the same," Natasha said.
"That's right, I told you to study the Chinese people carefully." Baldwin nodded: "Only by studying the Chinese people well can we better deal with those Chinese people."
"There is a saying in China that under heavy rewards there must be brave men." Natasha said: "It can also be said that under heavy rewards there must be dead men."
Baldwin raised his eyebrows.
"During the Warring States Period in China, there was a man in Qin named Shang Yang. With the support of Qin Xiaogong, he presided over a reform at that time." Natasha said: "China at that time was a period of frequent wars and panic."
Baldwin frowned and said: "I'm afraid only the Chinese can do this kind of reform when people are in panic. The Chinese are very wise..."
"In order to establish prestige and promote reform, Shang Yang ordered a light log to be erected outside the south gate of the capital, and made a promise in public that whoever could move this log to the north gate would be rewarded with a reward of ten taels! Boss!
, according to China's twelve ounces, that is close to eighteen ounces." Natasha smiled slightly and continued: "The onlookers didn't believe that such an easy thing could get such a high reward, so no one was willing to give it a try."
Just a piece of wood and a pound of gold? Nonsense!
"That's natural." Baldwin said: "You can get so much gold from a simple thing. No one will believe that such a simple thing is any different from picking up money."
"So Shang Yang raised the reward to fifty taels." Natasha said: "Eighty-eight ounces, does the boss think anyone can do it?"
Baldwin was stunned. Although the principle was the same, getting so much money for a simple thing would definitely make people suspicious. After all, it was a bit pie-in-the-sky.
But this time there is too much money. People who have too much money will become greedy. Even if they know it is unrealistic, they still can't help but give it a try.
For such a large amount of gold, it is worth it even if you are cheated!
"So, there must be a brave man under the heavy reward. Finally, someone stood up and carried the wood to the north gate." Natasha said: "Of course, Shang Yang immediately rewarded him with fifty taels of gold. Shang Yang's move left a deep impression on the Chinese people.
Prestige was established, and Shang Yang's subsequent reforms were quickly promoted throughout the country. The new laws made the country strong and prosperous, and finally Qin unified the war-torn China."
Baldwin was silent after hearing this story.
He admitted that now both Natasha and Courtney have become more and more profound in their research on China.
He had never heard of this story, but Natasha told it very clearly.
Of course, this story is not something Natasha just told.
Baldwin is a smart man, that's why he was able to get to where he is today.
"What you are worried about is that 'heavy rewards' will cause some people to become 'brave men'... We really need to be careful about this." Baldwin nodded: "I never thought of this possibility before, but after listening to what you said today
This story really has to be guarded against.”
Natasha smiled: "They are Chinese, so they must know this story better. What we can know, they must know better."
"That's good." Baldwin nodded: "What we can know, they naturally know more and know more than we do."
"They only need to increase the commission ratio, and people will flock to them." Natasha said: "What should we do then? Boss, you can't kill all the gangs suspected of money laundering in New York. That will not only incite
Arousing public outrage will also lead to the loss of balance of power in New York. Once the balance of power in New York is lost, I am afraid that the police will not let us go easily. By then, we will be attacked from both sides."
The flesh on Baldwin's face trembled: "Do you think such an incident will cause me to encounter a life crisis?"
"A dike of a thousand miles breaks in an ant nest." Natasha said: "This is also the principle of the Chinese people."
Baldwin was stunned for a moment. A thousand-mile dike collapsed in an ant nest. He had heard this allusion. A thousand-mile long dike often collapsed due to ant holes.
Therefore, we must pay attention to every little thing, as a little carelessness will lead to catastrophe.
The origins of great disasters are small things.
Now this "little thing" in Baldwin's eyes may be an anthill!
"Maybe we all think highly of Chuanshan's son, maybe his son never thought of this." Baldwin could only comfort himself in this way.
"If he is really someone who can't even think of this, then there is really no need for us to continue to contact him. People who don't know how to use such superficial tactics will definitely not be popular in China, and we will not do it in the future.
There is no exchange of interest." Natasha said: "But if he can handle it with ease, it means that he is not an ignorant person and is a person completely worthy of our cooperation."
Baldwin nodded.
"Since he is a person worthy of cooperation, then why don't we cooperate?" Natasha asked with a smile.
Baldwin looked at her and then understood what Natasha meant.
Although this seems to be a game, no matter whether they win or lose, there is no loss for them.
If Chuanshan's son could really put them in a dilemma in this situation, then why couldn't Baldwin come forward! Of course he had to come forward to meet this "wisdom" Chinese man.
The "smart" Chinese people can always generate a steady stream of money and capital in China!
Isn't this what he wants?
"It seems that I have some preconceived impressions of him." Baldwin smiled and said to Natasha: "Thanks to you for reminding me about this matter. If you hadn't reminded me, I really wouldn't have thought of this.
Yes, I have the advantage of cooperating with him."
"Yes, boss, this is not our loss, this is our advantage." Natasha said: "In fact, we should hope that he can control the situation more perfectly."
Baldwin laughed heartily, put down his cigar, and motioned for Natasha to pour him a glass of champagne.
Natasha poured Baldwin a glass of champagne, and Baldwin motioned for her to pour him a glass.
The two celebrated with a toast.
Although Natasha did not solve any problems, she helped Baldwin clear a knot in his mind, which was very, very important to Baldwin.
