By eliminating the middleman's profit margin, it was possible to directly channel benefits to Panetta.
It was uncertain whether 50 million dollars would satisfy him, but if not, Gao Yi could add more.
How much more depended on how much Shaman was willing to offer.
Currently, Shaman had authorized Abdulla to utilize 500 million USD; if that was not enough, Shaman could add more.
Given Shaman's financial power, there was no upper limit on the amount; according to Shaman's will, there was still no upper limit.
Thus, rounding up, one could conclude that as long as Panetta dared to ask, Gao Yi dared to give.
He truly didn't believe Panetta could resist this temptation.
If Panetta had no personal motives and everything he did was for the country and the public good, then Gao Yi wouldn't have much confidence. But since Panetta had engaged with Gao Yi out of self-interest from the start, there was nothing to worry about; nothing mattered.
To take down the gigantic CIA.
