King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer-Chapter 1808 - 1488: The Exercise of Power

Chapter 1808 -1488: The Exercise of Power

Joe Ga didn’t mind Aaron’s outburst of swearing…

He deliberately waited for Aaron to digest a little more, then said with a smile: “You asked if I knew something?

Well, I do have some intel…

Like that fundraising link for the war you had that guy Ferlov put up on social media in Europe and America…

Like a guy named Bankman, running a platform called ‘Bahamas Digital Cryptocurrency Exchange’…

Bankman, one of the major donors for the Democratic Party, who donated $40 million during old Bayer’s campaign…

For instance, this ‘Bahamas Digital Cryptocurrency Exchange’ started three months ago converting war donations for Ukraine from online into US Dollars…

Bankman then diverted some of those funds into suspicious overseas accounts…

Anything else you want to add?”

Aaron let out a long sigh and said, “Hu Lang, you’ve been watching me…”

Joe Ga was amused, and said annoyed: “What kind of dream are you having? What good would watching a dead cripple do me?

I realized early on that I had too much money and was looking for a way to exit America, then Bankman came into Gami Kopurko’s view.

My intelligence officer did a background check on him and discovered some tricks with that ‘Bahamas Cryptocurrency Exchange’, which then led us to you.

You’re a genius, brother…

I don’t know how you got the Democrats’ money laundering gloves on board, but I know you now have a massive laundering operation, and the Democrats are sheltering it…

Laundering is just about turning dirty money into legitimate assets. Now, I have plenty of assets on hand.

You need to make that guy Bankman hold on, convert the cryptocurrencies bought with dirty money into US Dollars according to my instructions, and release them to my designated people or companies or even countries…

It’s a win-win for everyone!”

Joe Ga said in a complicated tone: “I’ve always taken the legal route, but this time I have a bad feeling.

So I want to bring those Democratic donors on board, they can’t just take my benefits and then turn around and sell me out.”

Aaron was stunned and exclaimed, “You can be afraid too?”

Joe Ga said helplessly: “When you hold a twelve-digit fortune, everyone looks like a bandit!

Too many people want me dead!

So I need to do something meaningful with most of the money before they make a move!

I have too much money, so if the Ukrainian government is willing to use some valuable assets as collateral, I can loan it to them, or just spend my own money to support those refugees with nowhere to go.

So brother, I want more than just the port of Odessa; if they can sell the city, I’d be willing to take it too…

Power plants, water supply, property, transportation, energy, if they’re willing to sell, I’m willing to take it…

No matter what the warring parties want to do by then, as long as they approach my property, I’ll have the local cops go after them…”

Aaron was taken aback by Joe’s imposing demeanor…

Odessa, even without mentioning the advantage of the port, is a historic city, and Joe seems to just buy it like it’s a supermarket.

But everyone understands, war is the nemesis of real estate, and once the war starts, Odessa’s property is bound to plummet.

Joe’s claim of buying a city is exaggerated, but controlling the infrastructure and part of the property there is definitely feasible.

Aaron thought about how he’d been painstakingly operating for two years trying to make a big hit in Ukraine, only to find that the results might not even measure up to Joe’s pocket change, and he sighed with emotion, saying, “50% is a bit too much, helping you handle those US Dollar assets and tying in with the Democratic donors poses some risk.

How about 55%?

Actually, that dirty money is not impossible for a giant like you with such a vast territory to absorb, you can still make a lot of money…”

When Joe Ga heard the ever-stubborn Aaron starting to flatter him, he clicked his tongue and hesitated for a moment, then said, “If you call me ‘Master Hu Lang’ every time you see me from now on, then we have a deal…”

Aaron was speechless, caught between immense wealth and dignity for a moment…

“FUCK YOU Hu Lang!”

Hearing Aaron’s cursing, Joe Ga laughed and said, “That’s more like it, we’re friends, right? Friends shouldn’t always think about taking advantage of each other.

Your wife has just settled in Europe, she will probably be very busy in the coming years…

I have a 99 new Riva yacht parked at my villa in Greece, gifting it to her as a socialite tool, and to give my goddaughter a taste of true rich living as well.”

Joe said mischievously, “What are you two even striving for? Running around all day yet not earning as much as I do lying at home…

If you don’t believe me, listen, ‘ding dong,’ another hundred million dollars just came in…”

“Beep beep beep…”

Joe listened to the ‘beep beep’ on the phone, shook his head and chuckled, calling it ‘rude,’ then turned to the wide-eyed Monica and said with a smile, “See, as long as your boss is willing to lower the bar a bit, money is not that hard to earn…”

Monica is no longer the naive and vicious femme fatale she once was, as she’s mingled in New York’s political and business circles for years, witnessing and even participating in many affairs ordinary people can’t fathom…

But she was witnessing Joe’s operation for the first time…

It’s not that the capital is unimaginably large, after all, financial gambles over a hundred billion occur annually on Wall Street.

The financial elite set exclusive rules through incomprehensible jargon, manipulating global digital money, profiting through repeated trades, or earning huge service fees even without profit.

But Joe used a straightforward approach that simplified everything…

He found the perfect big buyers for his dollar assets!

These people share a common trait: they wouldn’t haggle over assets. As long as their dirty money could be legalized, they’re willing to suffer over 70% losses.

Joe is well aware of the intrigue, proposing prices that brush against those people’s limits, and they’ll likely agree without hesitation.

He’s offering a 50% rate, essentially exchanging their current US Dollar assets at twice the market price.

These appreciating assets’ future gains would offset their laundering losses.

The price discrepancy in this back-and-forth is enormous!

But Joe doesn’t lose out, as the doubled price covers his early exit losses.

He can quickly liquidate all his money through Aaron’s unique war finance channels, making it a tremendously profitable deal despite paying huge miscellaneous fees.

Getting the money sooner means the time advantage will further augment the money’s value.

Invest, invest, invest…

Turning that money into various valuable assets worldwide would generate further gains.

The best part is, this mutually beneficial deal can temporarily silence the hostile Democratic big donors, even making them stand by him if he faces issues, to protect their own interests…

Money is a soul-penetrating weapon!

Though Joe is wielding this weapon violently for the first time, it’s foreseeable that if Aaron succeeds, Joe’s perilous situation would be halved instantly…

Monica, who can’t resist power, slid into Joe’s arms like a seductress…

Her thin evening gown slipped open during the movement, unveiling an alluring body wrapped in sexy lingerie…

Monica looked at Joe with his phone’s pensive and abstinent demeanor, let out a hum, wrapped her arms around Joe’s neck, placed his hand on her soft chest, and whispered thrillingly into his ear…

Joe looked at the already connected call with Gami, struggled for a moment before telling Gami to call a small meeting tomorrow and then chucked the phone away…

…………………

While Joe was indulging himself, a secret meeting with only a few major shareholders was held inside the ‘Deadly Strike Group’ building in New York…
