Chapter 3508: Suppress first and then increase

Using both kindness and force is Ye Chen's way of employing people.

Wan Pojun did not make any direct subjective mistakes in this matter, but as the actual leader of Wanlong Palace, it was his dereliction of duty to let Wanlong Palace fall into such a predicament.

Although I will not dismiss him for this, I must warn him and make him have a strong sense of crisis.

Otherwise, if something like this happens again, the Wanlong Palace will fall into an abyss from which there is no escape.

Just like Blackwater, one mistake can lead to a complete loss.

At this time, the top management of Blackwater had already sensed the crisis.

Everyone can see that Bernard Elno has used his ultimate move this time. As things have developed to this point, he has become undefeated. It is only a matter of time before he is unstoppable and wins the game.

These people have been the black gloves of the U.S. government for so many years, and they know very well what style the U.S. government operates in.

The moment they saw Bernard Elno firing at full power, they knew they were finished.

So, these people spontaneously closed all communication channels, and then spontaneously set out from their homes and went to the nearest customs.

They are betting on a time window, betting that it takes time for the White House to formulate a plan, time to issue orders, and time for the FBI to execute them.

As long as they can seize this window of opportunity, they can leave the country smoothly, fly to a place where no one knows them, hide their identities and start a new life in anonymity.

Once they miss this window, they will be pushed into the spotlight and face the most severe legal punishment. Given the adverse impact of this incident, they may be sentenced to death.

The person primarily responsible for this incident is likely to be sentenced to death for war crimes and terrorism-related crimes.

Others will probably not be able to escape life imprisonment, and will not be eligible for parole for the rest of their lives, and will eventually die in prison of old age.

However, although they are very familiar with how the American government operates, they don't know much about the president's style of doing things.

The President is different from previous professional politicians. He comes from a business background. Although there are many disadvantages for businessmen to be involved in politics, one of their biggest advantages is that they act extremely decisively and never drag their feet.

Professional politicians will think twice before taking any action, considering this and that. They will only take each step after careful consideration. The advantage of this is that the chance of making mistakes is lower. They do not seek to achieve anything, but only to avoid mistakes.

When businessmen are struggling in the business world, what they fear most is delaying the process of making money. Once they know where there is money to be made, they will rush in even if they are only halfway through shitting.

Therefore, the moment the commander-in-chief decided to abandon Blackwater, he immediately passed the order down, fearing that there would be any unexpected changes.

At this time, in the FBI system, all senior executives of Blackwater were on the internal arrest list. Once on this list, all customs systems would be synchronized immediately. This means that no matter which customs office in the United States handles exit for people on the list, customs would receive a prompt and take them under control immediately.

Moreover, this system not only matches the information of the people on the list, but also matches their biological signs, including but not limited to their fingerprints and facial features. Even for those who have left DNA information, the DNA information will be retrieved.

Since everyone must undergo facial recognition photography when leaving the country, and AI is used to identify disguises, even if the target person changes into a completely different identity and passes through customs, the information will be matched due to facial recognition, which will trigger an alarm.

In this situation, there is no way to leave the United States except by sneaking across the border.

Blackwater executives all thought there was still a chance.

So, they each took the passport information of their other identities, hurried to the nearest international airport, and booked the earliest flight out of the United States.

As long as they can get out, even if it's just to Mexico, they can immediately change their identities and flee to the next country.

Unfortunately, after these people arrived at the airport, without exception, they were caught red-handed by the FBI while going through customs.

Immediately afterwards, the U.S. government announced that it would hold an emergency press conference that afternoon. They revealed that the content of the press conference was about Blackwater and the White Horse Island terrorist attack, but the media reporters knew nothing about the specific situation.

Bernard Erno already knew that he had won miserably.

The US government will definitely punish Blackwater severely under its powerful pressure.

Not only can he take credit from Ye Chen, but he can also start a wonderful business of "profit for points" in the American market.

Then he immediately called Ye Chen.

At this time, Ye Chen had already returned home, and his family members were tired from the journey and had already fallen asleep.

After receiving a call from Bernard Erno, he went to the vacant room on the first floor and answered the phone.

The moment the call was connected, Bernard Elno couldn't help but excitedly said to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, the American government allowed those media to smear me crazily. I have just publicly announced that I have completely broken with them!"

Ye Chen pretended to be ignorant and said with a smile: "Your decision to break up with them is yours. I respect your decision and you don't need to ask for instructions or report to me."

"Fuck..."

Bernard Elno's heart skipped a beat, and he nervously thought to himself, "Is Ye Chen going to deny his responsibility? If he classifies my withdrawal from the American market as a personal decision that was not under his orders, then will he not give me any points? If that's the case, then I'm doomed!!"

He was so scared that his face turned pale, cold sweat broke out, and the arm holding the phone began to tremble violently uncontrollably.

He suppressed his fear and asked tentatively, "Mr. Ye... Mr. Ye... I was at the press conference at the time and couldn't consult you directly, so I took the initiative to announce my withdrawal from the American market. I wonder if you can still give me some points?"

After saying this, he was extremely nervous, fearing that Ye Chen would say something wrong.

Ye Chen on the other end of the phone smiled slightly and said, "Your reputation is now at its peak. The whole world regards you as the most righteous rich man. This time, not only has all your previous black material been washed away, but your reputation has even reached a commanding height."

"More importantly, I speculate that even if you shut down the entire American market, your global sales will increase instead of decrease. The American market will also spill over to neighboring Canada and even the whole of Europe. So you shouldn't suffer any substantial losses from this decision. You may even see a new high. Plus, you were already famous during your time on White Horse Island. With this trip to America, you can be said to have reaped a huge harvest of fame and fortune."

Although Ye Chen had already tacitly approved of Bernard Elnoka Bug's behavior in his heart, Ye Chen had to let him know that he had seen through his inner calculations. He had to let him understand this first, and then approve of his behavior, so that he would know that he was letting him off the hook.

If I don't reveal this, he will probably think that his cleverness has fooled me and that I haven't seen through his motives.

See through him, expose him, make him as nervous as possible, and then give him a pardon. He will never dare to have any luck or play tricks with you again, and he will be more grateful and more respectful to you. This is what our ancestors often said - first suppress and then praise.

Moreover, I have to point out everything I have brought to him, the amazing achievements on White Horse Island, the passion of America, these are all opportunities and stages I created for him. Without me, how could he have gained such a great reputation today?

This kind of reputation cannot be bought with money, and no one can buy this kind of credit.

Although Ye Chen does not have the extremely cunning business acumen and means of Bernard Elno, his control over people's hearts is much deeper than that of this 70-year-old man.

Therefore, he must hold him tightly!

At this time, Bernard Erno was indeed extremely panicked.

I thought that this trick could catch Ye Chen's bug, and even make Ye Chen, like everyone else, be intimidated by my righteousness, but I didn't expect that Ye Chen could see through all the essence at a glance.

He felt as if he had been stripped naked in public, feeling ashamed, nervous and scared.

So, he could only smile bitterly and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ye, I... I... I didn't mean to play tricks on you. I was just so angry at the time, so I made this decision. And I'm filled with gratitude to you. Not only did you save my life, but you also gave me the great credit for White Horse Island and made me famous in America. My gratitude to you is beyond words..."

At this point, he trembled and said, "As for the profit issue, you're right. Judging from the reputation you've given me, even if I shut down the American market, the group's overall revenue will definitely increase. I... I don't have the face to ask you to calculate the points for me..."

At this moment, Bernard Elno had given up the idea of gaining points from Ye Chen.

He also knew in his heart that what Ye Chen said was right. Ye Chen had already given him so much, and he still had the audacity to ask for points at this time. No matter who he told this, everyone would think it was inappropriate.

However, if he fails to accumulate points this time, then he will only be able to receive the 498 million US dollars donated to the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism. He is still billion experience points short of the Rejuvenation Pill, which is a long way off.

Just when he was feeling dejected, Ye Chen said calmly, "However, you did a great job this time. With this operation, even if Blackwater is completely destroyed, Wanlong Hall will be able to usher in greater benefits and development opportunities. Therefore, I can make an exception and calculate points for your losses in the American market. But next time, if you act without permission, I will definitely not make an exception for you!"

Bernard Erno was so surprised that his mind went blank. He was dizzy for a few seconds before he came to his senses.

He asked trembling with excitement, "Mr. Ye...Mr. Ye, are you...are you serious?!"

Ye Chen said calmly: "When have I ever gone back on my word?"

Bernard Erno said ecstatically: "You didn't, you never did! Thank you, Mr. Ye! Thank you!"

After saying this, he immediately stated, "Mr. Ye, in order to help the Ten Thousand Dragons Palace further enhance its strength, I personally wish to donate to the Ten Thousand Dragons Palace... ten, no, two billion US dollars!"
