Chapter 120 Grand Plan

Chapter 120: Chapter 120 Grand Plan

Mountain Eagle finally got Tessa off his back so this fiery lady cop, well-rested, could go get involved in the major Kamui case...

He himself then went with Blood Fox to find Mi Lu, who claimed to have thrown out his back...

When Blood Fox knocked and entered Mi Lu’s room, Mountain Eagle saw a Thai girl who had been on top of Mi Lu climb off, casually slip into a little tank top, and then nonchalantly took 1000 Thai Baht from Mi Lu’s wallet on the nightstand before walking into the bathroom.

Watching Blood Fox and Mi Lu exchanging a few jokes and curses, Mountain Eagle couldn’t help but marvel as Mi Lu gave him a thumbs up, and then said, "I definitely won’t set foot in this room; let’s switch to a quieter one to talk...

About that goddamn pension plan of yours..."

The laid-back Mi Lu instantly sat up upon hearing this...

A few minutes later, the three men appeared in Mi Lu’s gun room.

Mountain Eagle looked at the two old men eyeing him and said, "Let me clarify upfront, I have no intention of taking over the pension fund..."

As soon as Mountain Eagle finished speaking, Mi Lu began to rant...

"Hey, Mountain Eagle, you dragged me out of bed just to tell me you don’t want to handle the pension fund?

I’ve downed two Viagra and even sent the hooker away, and this is what you come at me with?"

Mountain Eagle, seeing Mi Lu getting red-nosed with anger and about to explode, quickly waved his hands and said, "You’re so old you need Viagra, why the hell are you still hiring hookers?

Listen to me, listen. The crux of your problem lies in the pension shortfall, and I now have a means to help fill that gap...

Do you believe me or not?"

Mi Lu was startled for a moment, heavily sitting back down, then looked over at Blood Fox and said, "What the heck is this kid talking about? Does he even know what kind of mess we’re in?"

Blood Fox had a lot of confidence in Mountain Eagle at this time; he nodded and said, "I think he knows."

Then Blood Fox looked at Mountain Eagle and said, "I heard what you said to Tessa earlier. You want to use the money from the pension trust to enter the refined oil business, right?

I’m afraid I can’t agree...

Because the money in the pension trust is our last safeguard, we need the consent of more than three retired Arctic Fox members along with the current Arctic Fox team leader to touch that money, I can’t decide this!

However, due to the mission in Russia, we will soon receive an advance payment of 2.5 million dollars, and this money can be handed over to you to manage.

But I want to remind you, the international oil prices have plummeted this year, and the refined oil business is very risky."

Mountain Eagle, looking at Blood Fox who appeared solemn and earnest, sighed and said, "2.5 million dollars sounds like a lot, but are you aware of the political turmoil in Thailand?"

Blood Fox was taken aback for a moment and said, "Political turmoil in Thailand?"

With a frown, Blood Fox looked at Mountain Eagle and said, "What news have you got?"

Mountain Eagle nodded and said, "The King of Thailand is running out of patience with the current government, so a coup is likely to happen soon.

Do you think we can make money with this information?"

Blood Fox nodded and then shook his head, saying, "That depends on the kind of disturbances the coup will trigger.

By my understanding of Thailand, as long as the military marches into Bangkok, the coup is effectively completed.

Without disturbances, there’s no opportunity for speculation.

What method do you have in mind to make money?"

Mountain Eagle stood up and rubbed his face, seriously saying, "The first pot of money we’ll earn from the currency market...

Thailand has struck some agreements with British and American Intelligence Department, thanks to their mistake, to ensure a stable transition of power.

However, verbal sanctions and certain punitive measures are unavoidable.

Thailand is an open currency market, once a coup happens, it will lead to massive capital flight and asset shrinkage, with the stock market plunge and inflation hitting instantly."

Saying this, Mountain Eagle looked at Blood Fox and said earnestly, "You must have trustworthy accountants and lawyers. I need these professionals to follow the timeline I provide to execute the transactions.

The financial industry in Thailand may not be very advanced, but it’s still workable.

As long as the timing is right, shorting the currency and stock market can quickly raise the funds we need.

The preparations on the Thai side are very comprehensive this time, the UK and US won’t purposely target them, but the capital markets are pragmatic...

The devaluation of the Thai Baht is irreversible, the Thai central bank will have to raise interest rates and tighten the balance sheet to control liquidity. When that happens, the stock market is sure to be in misery.

It’s not exactly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but as long as we can control the financial leverage and timing, the money earned will definitely be enough to fill your funding gap for next year."

When Mountain Eagle seriously spoke with a firm face, the elite air naturally exuded from him, possessing a strong persuasive power.

Blood Fox and Mi Lu exchanged a look, then with a somewhat strange expression, looked at Mountain Eagle and said, "How much money do you expect to make?"

Mountain Eagle frowned and said, "This is like an open-book exam. Any professional with this information should be able to make a profit, but no one can guarantee the exact numbers in the end.

It depends on the size of the funds, leverage, and market response.

However, I estimate that with good handling, using 2 million dollars plus 5 times leverage, making a profit of 2 to 3 million dollars is not a problem."

However, let’s get one thing straight. No matter how much profit is made in the end, I want 30%...

That money will be the start-up capital for my trading company!"

Blood Fox exchanged glances with Mi Lu again, then said with some surprise, "You’re saying that just by shorting we can double our invested capital in a short period of time?

We don’t need to create any turbulence ourselves?"

Mountain Eagle was taken aback, then realized that Blood Fox must have been involved in the kind of operations that topple governments to profit from the chaos, but such tactics are usually employed by Western governments in collaboration with mega-capital on predatory hunts against less developed countries.

In such operations, mercenaries’ only role is to incite disorder and slaughter, at the bottom of the profit chain.

Moreover, the profit cycle of this method is relatively long, as it involves not only exchange rates but also creating inflation and then acquiring local industries at low cost through capital influx...

Such operations require extended periods of preparation.

Sometimes, the Federal Reserve might even predict the list of targets for such harvests in advance, but those countries laid out on the dining table have no power to resist.

Thailand really has no resistance either. The Asian financial crisis created by Soros directly set back Thailand’s economy by more than a decade.

However, this coup won’t last too long. With insufficient preparation by international speculators and the UK and US compromising with the Thai Government, Thailand won’t be too devastated.

What Blood Fox talked about shouldn’t be confused with the swift and straightforward shorting that Mountain Eagle mentioned.

Watching Blood Fox and Mi Lu with shining eyes, Mountain Eagle said with some concern, "Don’t get ahead of yourselves, what I’m talking about isn’t the same thing as what you’re thinking.

This is an insider operation, a sure win, but by no means will it bleed the banks dry."

Blood Fox stared intently at Mountain Eagle and said, "You mean we don’t have to do anything, just give you the money, and you’ll double it?"

Mountain Eagle had difficulty explaining the complex operations to Blood Fox. He nodded and said, "That’s the general idea.

However, there’s one condition – I need some professional hands.

The fact is, I’m not that professional in finance. If I were to do it on my own, achieving a 100% return on investment is impossible. Only the top professional traders can maximize profits.

I used to have friends in this line of work, but not anymore..."

Saying this, Mountain Eagle counted on his fingers, "We need lawyers familiar with Thai law, accountants, traders...

This kind of opportunity doesn’t come often; we must seize it!"

Blood Fox, a little disappointed, said, "So, this is just a one-off chance?"

Mountain Eagle paused, realizing something, then said somewhat helplessly, "Right now, I’m talking to you about making money, can you at least act a bit happier?"

Blood Fox shook his head slightly and said, "Mountain Eagle, you actually know what we want...

A one-off profit won’t solve the problems we face, and this isn’t just about money.

We need someone who truly knows how to manage to help us with those tasks...

You’re clear-headed, know how to make money, and how to manage people; you’re the best candidate!"

Mountain Eagle did not pick up on Blood Fox’s attempt to continue the topic, he shook his head and said, "I won’t promise to do something that I’m not sure I can handle, even if you entrust that hundred million dollars fund to me, I’m not confident I could do better than those trust companies.

I’ve managed trades over a hundred million dollars before, but I was on a behemoth-sized platform then.

With my current situation, I can’t control that kind of money, nor do I have the energy to worry about those Arctic Fox people..."

With that, Mountain Eagle looked at a somewhat disappointed Blood Fox, he sighed and said, "We can take it slow, make some money first, and then if you trust me, invest in my trading company.

Even if you don’t care about the money yourselves, you could use what’s earned to fill the retirement fund shortfall."

Blood Fox then understood, Mountain Eagle would not tie himself to Arctic Fox’s sinking retirement ship...

That’s because a person’s time and energy are limited, and this guy was too capable to spend his time and energy saving an inevitably doomed ship.

This retirement ship meant the world to Blood Fox and Mi Lu, but not to Mountain Eagle.

Forcing Mountain Eagle to bind himself to Arctic Fox might not bring good results; instead, helping him to succeed could keep their retirement ship afloat for a few more years.

Realizing this, Blood Fox laughed freely and looked at Mountain Eagle, "Then tell me about your trading company, what kind of business are you planning to do?

From what I know, the refined oil business requires more investment than we can afford."

Mountain Eagle smiled and said, "You have to trust me, because this is my area of expertise...

Remember what we talked about before? You said I’m someone who can create demand...

Haven’t you realized that although Koh Lanta isn’t big, it’s precisely because it’s small that we could potentially monopolize the refined oil market here.

But all of this depends on us being able to get a hold on those smugglers and then establish authority across both legal and illegal spheres.

This sounds difficult, but I believe there’s a chance...

A small area, as long as we can monopolize a small region and integrate its resources, I’m confident in establishing a healthy maritime trade cycle.

Koh Lanta isn’t far from Myanmar and Malaysia, there’s a chance, definitely a chance..."

After hearing this, Blood Fox looked at Mountain Eagle in disbelief, "What exactly are you planning to do?"
