Ultimate Firepower

"Ten million lured Crawford, five thousand minus three thousand, a mere twenty million settled Panetta."

CIA’s top boss, not so high standards after all.

Since Panetta had Crawford out of the picture, Gao Yi knew for sure the deal was sealed, a hundred percent done. If he could meet Panetta one more time and really turn him into one of his own, then earn a bit more money, get Panetta deeper into the trap and then close the lid, that would add another deputy director of the CIA as a partner.

Don’t mention the term mole—it sounds so ugly.

Like pulling a tiger’s skin to make a banner, but in the end, tying the tiger to the flagpole, the deal was firm.

Now, Panetta was even initiating inquiries about whether to replace his partners, all because the informants on the intelligence line were cautious, knowing that contacts maintained through a single line should not be replaced easily. Otherwise, Panetta would have definitely put his own trusted people in place.

Now Gao Yi had to make sure Joelson became Panetta’s confidant.

But at this moment, to have Joelson start working directly under Panetta, and to make Panetta feel that Joelson was reliable, that would require a bit of skill.

Look it up in a history book, no, it’s more convenient now, just search online, there are thousands of skills or mature case studies to refer to.

Gao Yi knew many idioms about employing the right person, like "visiting the thatched cottage three times," "Lord Zhou spewing food," "buying horse bones for a thousand gold pieces," and numerous others.
