Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger
Chapter 1066 - 1000: Arrangements
After arriving in Canada, Mountain Eagle wasn't in such a hurry...
By then, his Crow had flown over the target location and established a surveillance network around the target's mountain. Anything that happened there, Mountain Eagle would hear about it immediately.
However, things had to proceed systematically because the Death Angel couldn't die until the dirty bomb was found!
Compared to the eager Blood Fox and the others, Mountain Eagle appeared very relaxed...
And truth be told, Mountain Eagle was indeed very exhausted.
When Kobe and the others each started working, Mountain Eagle looked at Daria, who came over to report, and after sitting in a lounge chair, he waved his hand and said, "I got some news on the plane that I'm not sure is good or bad, so now I'm a bit tired.
If it's not particularly important, you can wait until the Death Angel is found to tell me."
Daria found a fishing stool to sit beside Mountain Eagle. Seeing the tired look on her boss's face, she hesitated a bit and then said, "Boss, we have Los Zetas' 'ledger' and 'accountant' with us. It's not a good idea to keep moving them around aimlessly. I think..."
Mountain Eagle closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "How much money is in Los Zetas' accounts?"
After hearing it, Daria opened a notebook to take a look, then said, "Not as much as we thought. The cash spread across nearly a hundred accounts for Los Zetas only totals 135 million US dollars, and another two offshore companies hold stocks valued at over 10 million US dollars.
Now Los Zetas have gone completely crazy. They suffered a huge loss in New Laredo and lost their 'ledger', making it difficult for them financially. There are signs of internal divisions already.
Should we notify Tiago to get involved in attacking Los Zetas and seizing some of their territory while we can?"
Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle thought for a while and then said, "Then go ahead. Shorty Guzman has been caught, so Sinaloa is probably not peaceful internally either.
Notify Tiago to focus on taking Mazatlan south of La Cruz. We need to control a port, and if possible, let him meet with Helix New Generation people.
The busier he looks during this time, the less likely Sinaloa people will target him!
As for that money..."
Mountain Eagle rubbed his temples, thought for a moment, then said, "Withdraw all that money and use it to purchase circulating Bitcoin on the market.
You need to discuss this with Mr. Poincaré. He also has a lot of black money trying to be moved out of Asia. Since Hong Kong Island is still a Bitcoin trading center, let him purchase some Bitcoin too."
Upon hearing this, Daria said in surprise, "Boss, that's over a hundred million dollars, and it's already laundered. Are we really using it all to buy Bitcoin?"
Mountain Eagle shook his head and said, "That's why you need to discuss this with Mr. Poincaré, using Los Zetas' money through foreign exchange swaps to help him launder some of the black money.
The money used to buy Bitcoin on the market doesn't need to be too clean, which will allow us to more than double that investment.
My plan in El Salvador has undergone some changes, so I need to gain as many chips as possible."
Daria didn't quite understand what Mountain Eagle meant. Brow furrowed, she said, "Bitcoin's price is quite volatile now. Will buying it in bulk..."
Mountain Eagle waved his hand and said, "Bitcoin is now 450 US dollars. According to the usual pattern in past years, there's one month left until East's New Year, during which time East Asia's funds will tend to calm down, so this price barely counts as low.
Every US presidential election causes changes in the world economy, and every new President of the United States proposes some new policies that attract funds from Asia to the United States.
If we don't act now, after the election ends in half a year, Bitcoin's price will be even higher."
Seeing the curious look on Daria's face, Mountain Eagle spread his hands and said, "Actually, I've never really trusted virtual currency, especially Bitcoin with its unreasonable price.
But since we've decided to establish a Bitcoin trading center in El Salvador, we need to have enough chips.
I only have over four thousand Bitcoins on hand, and even adding Snowden and the others', it won't exceed six thousand...
Just relying on these Bitcoins, it's impossible to stabilize the trading market, so I need more, especially now that the plan has changed."
Daria didn't fully understand. After thinking a bit, she said, "Boss, can you explain it to me in more detail, so I can cooperate with you as much as possible."
Mountain Eagle waved his hand and said, "I haven't fully figured it out myself...
The old folks at the Belgar Lake Foundation are preparing to hand El Salvador over to me, and soon their president will step down, but the new candidate list hasn't been sent to me.
They probably feel like they can't compete with Asia's big trading markets and want to play dirty tricks by tying El Salvador to our trading market, using El Salvador as a national endorsement for the trading market."
Seeing Daria's suddenly excited expression, Mountain Eagle waved his hand and said, "It's not as simple as you think!
The value of that lousy place El Salvador is too low. To attract global silent capital there, we need to do a lot of groundwork.
Power plants, tourist areas, infrastructure, luxury apartments—these projects must all proceed simultaneously...
After El Salvador's election ends, we need to come up with an attractive PPT to make people believe investing money there is safe.
And the most important thing is, I need to pick someone from those candidates who is willing to unconditionally support my plan, gamble El Salvador's entire government funds, and is willing to give up shares in the National Bank of El Salvador."
Upon hearing this, Daria excitedly raised her hand and said, "Boss, let me handle it!
I'm good at this. Just give me a month, and I can understand El Salvador's political situation, picking a suitable candidate for you."
Mountain Eagle thought for a bit, then nodded slightly and said, "El Salvador has always been managed by Matthias, so it would be good for you to check it out too.
That guy has thrown a lot of money around in the capital San Salvador, and now that there's about to be a change in presidency, I bet he's pretty upset.
Also, notify Anna to activate Cyprus's trust. Quietly accumulate some Bitcoin. Once the US election ends, it'll be time for us to make a move in El Salvador."
Saying this, Mountain Eagle thought of that magical 'ledger', a woman with Supermemory. He hesitated a bit and then said, "Take that 'ledger' to El Salvador too; her super memory might be of some help to our future plans.
Also, find a few people good at boasting to use Mexico Cancun as a template to create some tourism development PPTs.
When the time comes, I'll figure out a way to attract some investment!"
After seriously noting Mountain Eagle's requirements, Daria stood up, excitedly paced around a couple of times, and said, "Boss, I'm kind of eager..."
Mountain Eagle closed his eyes and waved his hand, saying, "If you're eager, go chat with Kate. That sly woman is going to be transferred to El Salvador soon. She has some existing intelligence channels, so go ask her about the candidates.
Also, see if we can have those important prisoners from 'White Whale' incarcerated in our Public Sea Prison.
Now that the previous upheaval has passed, that place is lacking star prisoners..."
