People are watching American TV shows, and they are also watching American-style iaido.

Pablo's madmen, including Poison and Blackie, were also by the pool, having a great time.

“Mr. Ding,” Pablo lit a cigarette, sat down next to Ding Ze, and asked, “What suggestions do you have regarding this matter of whitewashing?”

Ding Ze smiled, then thought of a question, "So far, do you have a criminal record? Have you ever had your picture taken by the police?"

Pablo raised an eyebrow slightly. "It's been filmed."

"Let's resolve this matter first. You can't have a criminal record, otherwise when you run for president, a lot of people will definitely use it against you."

Pablo took a deep drag on his cigarette. "No problem, Officer Gouri, this is easy to handle."

“Okay, the second thing is, have you been featured in newspapers or on television? How many ordinary people know you’re a drug lord?” Ding Ze asked.

“Probably not,” Pablo said uncertainly. “I’ll have my men check later.”

"Hmm. Then, invest in some businesses that benefit people's livelihoods. Take it step by step, gradually expand the legitimate businesses, and occasionally spend some money to help people in various places, repair houses, set up welfare homes, and win people's hearts," Ding Ze said. "In addition, you probably have a lot of these kinds of estates, right?"

“Yes, a lot,” Pablo nodded.

"You won't need so much in the future. In short, little by little, you need to make yourself able to withstand investigation, hide your business well, and show yourself less often..."

After a pause, Ding Ze added, "I'm not an expert in this field; these are just my personal opinions. My suggestion is to spend more money to build a staff team in Bogotá."

"Professionals should do professional things. This money is necessary. We can't do everything ourselves."

Pablo was an arrogant man, even more so than Felix.

Arrogant people all have one thing in common: they like to be in control.

Pablo instinctively hated giving up control, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "Hmm, I'll give it a try. Your business is also managed by others, isn't it?"

Ding Ze laughed, "Of course, I don't even know who's managing it now, there are more and more people."

Pablo raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you afraid they'll figure everything out and turn against you?"

This is an interesting, yet also cliché, question.

Delegating authority, maintaining control.

The vast majority of business people will have to face this problem sooner or later.

"How about this, Pablo, when you have time, come to Miami and visit my company, what do you say?" Ding Ze suggested without answering.

“Okay,” Pablo agreed readily, “I really want to see how you do it.”

The two chatted for a while until the food was ready, then they stopped talking.

The group moved to the restaurant and began to eat and drink.

During this time, Felix, who had long felt that he had been treated as a puppet and looked down upon, and who really wanted to get closer to Pablo, finally found an opportunity to chat with Pablo.

Ding Ze watched this and couldn't help but find it amusing.

Comrade Felix is ​​very enthusiastic when he wants to achieve something, but once he achieves his goal and decides he no longer needs the other person, his attitude changes drastically, and he might even kill them...

Such a person is truly a despicable person who abandons their benefactor after using them.

To be honest, it's quite disgusting.

Ding Ze didn't participate in Felix and Pablo's attempts to get close to each other; he just watched the show.

This kind of clown act can actually be quite interesting if you know how to appreciate it.

Time flies.

Eat and drink enough.

After retrieving the Gu worms, Ding Ze and the others left for their next destination.

In the car.

At Pablo's estate, Isabella, who had been mostly silent, spoke up to Ding Ze, "Mr. Ding, now that we've dealt with Pablo, the most difficult one, this matter shouldn't be a big problem, right?"

Ding Ze leaned back with his eyes closed, not opening them, and said, "The matter itself is not a big problem, but there will be some problems later."

"Huh? What's the problem?" Isabella didn't understand.

“For example, the issue of payment,” Ding Ze replied, “whether it’s the Cali Group, the Medellín Group, or the North Valley, once they agree to the deal, they will all send all their inventory to Guadalajara immediately.”

"The amount of money involved is at least several billion US dollars. The Guadalajara Group doesn't have that much money."

Hear this.

Felix, who had already anticipated this, immediately spoke up, "Mr. Ding, what do you plan to do?"

"I have two options. One is to talk to them and agree to a down payment plus a final payment. This won't be easy to negotiate, but there's still some hope. If that doesn't work, I'll take the second option: I'll pay the money myself."

Ding Ze replied calmly.

Dongfeng Security has billions of US dollars.

That's about all.

After all, dealing with those treasures is not something that can be done in a short time.

“Felix, you’re in charge of negotiating with them. See if you can reach an agreement. After all, you’re the boss of the Guadalajara Group,” Ding Ze added.

It's difficult to discuss this matter;

However, Felix desperately wanted to have a say in future cooperation with Colombia, so without hesitation, he said, "Okay!"

Ding Ze smiled silently.

Felix's little schemes were really easy to guess.

**************

Another new day.

Ding Ze had no grudge against Bei Gu, so he didn't send all his men with him, but only a small group, to Bei Gu.

The drug lords of North Valley are very different from the Rodriguez brothers and Pablo.

The drug lords of Kitakura can be categorized as ruthless.

But it doesn't matter.

Because, as Gilbert Rodriguez said, what the drug lords of North Valley want most is money.

Then, just pay up.

It didn't take much time.

As Gilbert Rodriguez had predicted, Kitani, whose business was not large and, to put it bluntly, had always been picking up scraps from the Medellín and Cali groups, agreed to Ding Ze's proposal.

This is the end.

After several days, this trip to Colombia is nearing its successful conclusion. (End of Chapter)

Chapter 157 CIA, DEA, profit above all else.

Only the Cali Group remains to bring the story to a perfect conclusion.

The matter in Colombia, regardless of the method used, must proceed smoothly.

Therefore, after leaving North Valley, Ding Ze personally called Pachu to explain the current situation, "Only Kali is left. I wonder what your decision is?"

It was expected that Kitani would agree so quickly, and Patchouli was not too surprised. "Mr. Ding, we are still in talks."

"When do you expect the results?" Ding Ze asked calmly.

“I’ll probably contact other people tomorrow,” Pachu replied.

"Okay, thank you."

Ding Ze didn't say much and hung up the phone.

Pachu looked at his phone, shook his head, sighed silently, and then called Gilbert.

Gilbert had basically decided to agree. After listening to what Pachu said, he pretended to think for a moment and said, "Let's agree, otherwise things might not turn out well. However, we need to try to gain as much benefit as possible. Also, we need Ding Ze to come in person, and he needs to bring the DEA director with him. I need to ensure our safety."

Patchu knew this would happen, and nodded in agreement, "Okay."

After ending the call, Pachu called Dingze again and relayed Gilbert's request.

Ding Ze smiled and agreed, indicating that there was no problem.

Although there is a problem, after all, he has no interaction with the DEA director at the moment.

But, it's not a big problem.

Easy to solve.

Ding Ze didn't waste any time and immediately called CIA Director Eddie Thomas.

The phone rang for a while before the call was answered.

“Hello, Chief Thomas, I’m Jason Freeman,” Ding Ze said proactively.

As the director of the CIA, Eddie Thomas had countless employees under his command, hidden all over the world. He was naturally paying attention to the recent developments in Mexico and Colombia. After learning what was going on, he smiled and said, "Mr. Ding."

Ding Ze also laughed, "My legal name is indeed Jason Freeman."

“Of course,” Eddie Thomas replied casually.

“Our deal can proceed. I imagine Director Thomas, with his extensive information, should be even more interested,” Ding Ze said without asking.
