Chapter 233: Chapter 233: Solution

While having breakfast, everyone gathered again in room 1108...

The meals delivered by the hotel were given by Mountain Eagle to the Special Service agents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who were detained in the corner room on the 11th floor.

As for themselves, they had meals from the restaurant Blood Fox had previously hidden in, paying them to take care of all three meals a day for room 1108.

Butcher and the others would go directly to the restaurant and wait. As soon as the food left the pot, it would be packaged and escorted upstairs by them.

Anna saw once again Mountain Eagle’s means of winning people over; he was the one who decided to increase the security level, thus rejecting the hotel’s catering...

Yet now, he used her money to purchase the hotel’s expensive food and drinks, charmingly appeasing those Special Service agents.

He even convinced the agents that it was okay to get out and move around as long as someone was always on the 11th floor, allowing others to take turns resting, and then naturally sold them a patrol schedule.

Then, the security situation on the 11th floor changed. The manpower and methods hidden by various parties were dug out by Mountain Eagle and fully utilized.

What irked Anna was that it was clearly Mountain Eagle using the manpower from the Russian side, but in reality, he easily gained the trust and even admiration of the Special Service agents.

In the past, Anna never felt that corruption among Russian officials was an issue, but seeing those agents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs take Mountain Eagle’s tips as if they would sell their souls, Anna suddenly felt very sad...

While eating a high-calorie breakfast, chewing on the soft potatoes, and watching the very happy Mountain Eagle, she couldn’t help but sarcastically say...

"Getting money isn’t worth celebrating; only by getting good results can you get the remaining 5 million dollars."

Mountain Eagle, delighted that his money-making plan was formally underway, remained unaffected by Anna’s words and smilingly said, "Tell me your boss’s bottom line expectations, and then I will be responsible for fighting for it."

Anna scoffed and said, "You wish. If everything was about hitting the bottom line, what would we need people like us for?"

Saying this, Anna squinted her eyes to size up Mountain Eagle, curiously saying, "I thought you knew what my boss wants?"

Mountain Eagle picked up a pickle and stuffed it into his mouth to cut through the greasiness, then after having a sip of water, he said, "Once I linked this major purge with the problems your boss faced in Cyprus, I knew he was tight on funds.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have used the purge to relieve pressure...

Russian politicians and businessmen are very greedy; most of them don’t care about what happens to their country, they only know they want to exchange their rubles into US dollars or euros to move them out, as if this makes them safe.

Cyprus is a major route for Russian capital flight, and now it has been blocked by the United States Treasury.

Those politicians whose assets are quasi-frozen are now like ants on a hot pot...

To stabilize the situation, your boss must cooperate with Boss Pu to keep those people calm.

So, calming them down is the key, money is of secondary importance!"

After listening, Anna pulled Mountain Eagle to sit down on the couch and said earnestly, "You haven’t gotten to the point. How can we keep them calm?

My boss gathered around and prepared 200 million US dollars in cash, planning to fulfill those people’s locked-up funds through payment transfers, but this is far from enough...

You need to figure out a way to get the American side to open a loophole to transfer the frozen funds from Cyprus."

Mountain Eagle scoffed and said, "The entire country of Cyprus was almost bankrupt, and the banks lost even their trousers, where is the money to pay?

Stop joking. Cyprus is facing a systemic financial crisis similar to the Wall Street crisis of ’08. Investment failures, asset devaluation, capital flight, and bank runs erupted simultaneously, causing their current predicament.

Now, the Cyprus National Bank’s ledger only shows about 47 billion euros in deposits, but they have a buttload of bad assets that can’t be cashed out and lots of non-collectible rotten debts.

The current ledger’s 47 billion isn’t even liquidity; it’s debt, and it’s irredeemable debt.

Now the bank’s market value is just slightly over 3 billion euros...

Following the ’debt-to-equity’ swap agreement, your boss now holds a 47% share.

This means that the Big Russian Capital he represents has about 1.5 billion euros in cash tied up.

In Cyprus, people are limited in how much they can withdraw, all online financial activities have stopped, and the country’s entire liquidity is locked by the creditors. Where’s their money?

If they don’t receive aid from the European Union, their only way out is bankruptcy."

Speaking, Mountain Eagle looked at Anna, smiling and said, "When your boss talked to me, he didn’t mention any specific issues or figures. I guess his situation must be very bad...

Tell me, what’s his bottom line?

Stabilizing the internal situation of Russia actually means stabilizing people. Money can keep them calm, but other methods can do the same.

Who does your boss want to calm down? Besides the money in Cyprus’s banks, how much assets do those people have?

I need detailed information to decide what to do next!

Otherwise, like you said, I might not get the remaining 5 million dollars..."
