Dustin was stunned, his face showing a thoughtful look. After a moment, he understood: "If we do this... we will really fall out."
After hearing this reminder, he originally wanted to obey the order and give up his position, but now he reacted.
He is Brad's confidant. This is no secret to the middle and senior management of the NYPD, and most of the old hands in the Detective Bureau are also aware of this.
If Brad forcibly transferred him to a worse position, both opponents and teammates would immediately know that there was a rift between the two.
And forcibly demoting a loyal subordinate like Dustin is absolutely detrimental to one's character.
Although the character of politicians is not worth mentioning, they dare not only talk about interests with their subordinates, because the interests of their subordinates cannot be consistent with the interests of the upper level.
Once your subordinates are required to sacrifice their own interests, you have to show consideration for human feelings.
If you don't consider human feelings, your subordinates won't believe you even if you promise them benefits later.
Because everyone understands that this person only cares about interests. Once the matter is over, he will be nothing without any interests.
The favor between superiors and subordinates is a bond. It can be more or less, but it cannot be absent.
A "mountain" that has no trust at all will collapse sooner or later.
If Dustin, a loyal confidant for more than ten years, is treated harshly, how many others are confident that Brad will not give up
At that time, the team was demoralized and it was difficult to lead them.
But Dustin took the initiative to apply, which is another matter.
After figuring this out, Dustin looked at Luke, who was smiling but silent, and suddenly laughed, "That's right. Even if I can't keep this position, at best I'll be transferred to a different location, which won't be worse than going to the 66th Precinct. So let's do this!"
"Boss, you are so generous." Luke gave him a thumbs up and stood up to say goodbye: "By the way, don't forget to eat lunch. I bought it specially for you."
I went out of my way to buy it and give you a copy, no problem, he added silently in his mind.
Dustin had no idea that he was being given alms again. He rolled his eyes and said, "You still want me to give you a tip? Five cents is not enough!"
Luke made a "surrender" gesture, opened the door and walked out.
Dustin opened the takeaway again, picked up a piece of barbecued pork and threw it into his mouth, chewing it vigorously. His eyes flickered and he murmured in a low voice: "Haha, whoever wants to sit in my seat must have a strong ass."
…
Luke came out, took out his cell phone and sent a message to Ginny, asking her to speed up the deployment of the NYPD.
However, it was different from what Dustin thought.
He didn't necessarily want Dustin to be in this position.
It would be fine to let Dustin get promoted and become the superior of the Detective Bureau, and then replace the Chief of Detective Bureau with someone Luke trusts.
There just happened to be one such candidate recently.
Dustin is not stupid enough not to think about these things, but he lacks the channels to trade upward.
It's because he has been following Brad so closely that he has no connections with other bigwigs in the police station.
But Luke let Ginny come forward and use this position plus other benefits to exchange with the NYPD or even the official bosses of New York, which gives him a lot of room for maneuver.
At that time, Dustin's backer became Ginny, the big capitalist.
In the United States, the best thing is money.
It is always the twin of power. Some people use money to exchange for power, and power will further gain more money.
This cycle repeats itself, and thus the top class in the United States is formed.
Ginny is on this path, and Luke can also take advantage of the domineering female president and enjoy the treatment of the top class.
A few peaceful days passed and it was already mid-May.
The weather in New York is gradually getting better. The sun and hot air make people in the city feel cheerful.
In the afternoon, the streets were full of young men and women in spring clothes. The warm sunlight shone through the gaps between the towering buildings, illuminating the dark corners.
Young men and women laughed and played in the sunshine, making this ancient and gloomy city more hormonal.
Smartphones, which have been gaining popularity recently, have provided the best accompaniment for these men and women.
It can store far more songs than those old-fashioned feature phones of the past, and its music player functions are more powerful.
Just buy a portable smart speaker from Titanium Mobile Phone Company and you can combine it with most smartphones on the market to create an outdoor speaker.
The interface standards of most smartphones on the market are consistent with those of titanium phones, and titanium phones are also the fastest in launching various small accessories.
Ginny's early patent exchange work was very successful, and with the help of several powerful allies, she was able to popularize this standard.
Although this standard does not generate profit, Titanium Mobile Phone Company has become a veritable industry standard setter.
In this respect, its foundation is deeper than that of a simple mobile phone assembly company.
The valuation of Titanium Mobile Phone Company has increased wildly, not because anyone is hyping it up, but because the patents and technologies it holds have become increasingly valuable over the past few months.
Smartphones have evolved from being simply epoch-making products to an irresistible trend of the times.
Anyone who isn't stupid can see that Titanium Mobile Phone Company will definitely get a big piece of the pie.
However, not many young people care about this.
Most of them only know that titanium phones are the number one trendy brand among smartphones.
All the products launched by Titanium Mobile Phone Company are the most trendy and cutting-edge.
Even though there are more advanced and cooler handheld communication devices and technologies in the world, such as a certain young master's fully mature virtual imaging, real-time communication is one of them.
But it has nothing to do with these young people because they can't afford it.
Just like Iron Man’s Mark armor is in a sense the most trendy and cutting-edge cool “prosthetic limb”, but with a price tag of hundreds of millions of US dollars, it is destined to be irrelevant to the vast majority of people.
However, titanium mobile phones and related small accessories are "trendy brands" that everyone can afford.
Except for the poorest groups, it is not unimaginable that others can find a way to squeeze out more than three or five hundred dollars.
Of course, not all young people can get this money immediately.
Moreover, Luke, this crazy guy, has already made obvious differences in appearance between the standard version and the high-end version.
Anyone can tell the difference between the two at a glance, and the high-end version looks more fashionable.
If you don’t have it, you want it. If you already have the standard version, you want to switch to the high-end version.
But with the high-end version and the more expensive limited edition colorful version, the color and shape are definitely more eye-catching than the previous two.
This is not all. There is also a diamond exclusive edition that is supplied in small quantities regularly, as well as a private customized edition that can only be ordered directly from the company if you have a "noble" status.
You can buy the Diamond Premium Edition for a high price, and the only problem is that you will have to wait in line a little longer.
But the customized version is different.
The first people to get this version were Sheila and Jennifer Perry, who were also the first two superstars to help with the soft promotion of the titanium phone.
At first, Luke only mentioned a few words about this money-sucking trick, but Ginny understood it immediately.
This kind of packaging and marketing method has long been popular in Europe and the United States, and everything from luxury sports cars to jewelry and fashion are sold this way.
She just didn't think about it that way at first.
