Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger-Chapter 735 - 684: Pie-in-the-Sky Financing

"Because El Salvador has the best geothermal resources in Central North America, and it also has the best beach scenery."

After the incident in Anchorage concluded, Mountain Eagle, who had retreated to the airport for a break, sat beside a fireplace, holding a cup of coffee in his hand. Facing Mori's question, he smiled and said, "El Salvador is very small, and its social condition is terrible, but for me, it's the best investment location.

As long as I can find a solid political direction in the United States, I can prop up a compliant politician there to become their president."

Mori glanced at Daria, who was sitting beside him. This unusually beautiful female assistant, dressed in a conservative office suit, was continuously taking notes on a laptop.

Mori couldn't understand why Mountain Eagle kept such a beautiful assistant by his side yet didn't make a move on her…

Holding his wine glass, he gestured to Daria, downed the drink in one gulp, and then looked at Mountain Eagle, saying, "I still don't get it. To me, El Salvador is not worth any investment.

There's no industry, no resources, spending a fortune to build a power plant there is definitely a loss-making business.

Bitcoin mining can make money, but building your own power station to mine Bitcoin is something only financial amateurs do…

Because there, from the day the power plant is built, it starts to depreciate.

The power plant is infrastructure, and electricity production isn't like a factory's assembly line that can just stop at will.

Electricity is an unstoraged energy, and without enough derivative industries to support it, the power plant's value may depreciate by half in a few years.

250 million US Dollars, how dare you even ask…"

Saying this, Mori seemed to think of something, touched his chubby chin, and said with a helpless expression, "Mountain, I still don't understand why William Hurt agreed?

Tell me about it, otherwise, I won't be able to sleep for the foreseeable future…"

Mountain Eagle sat on the rocking chair beside the fireplace, took a sip of coffee and sighed comfortably, saying, "It's very simple, because I provided William Hurt and the people he represents a way out…

The loss of VX nerve gas raw materials is their deep concern, and they don't know when someone might use this matter against them.

Supporting Kobe is because Kobe surrendered to them and will go all out to pursue the Death Angel, trying to recover the nerve gas materials.

But when a person feels fear, they will try everything to alleviate that fear…

I believe these people must have already arranged an escape route for themselves and their families, but at this time, they certainly don't mind accepting one more option.

El Salvador, a place many in the United States don't even know, but William Hurt certainly knows…

Moreover, he definitely understands more than others what kind of stunts can be played in politics and finance in such a controllable and independently sovereign Central American country.

Buddy, in your eyes, building a power plant in El Salvador to mine Bitcoin is a losing business because the Bitcoin mining pool cannot fully leverage the value of the power plant.

But in the eyes of the truly insightful, the location of the power plant is the key to its value."

Mori looked at Mountain Eagle, who had a smile on his face, and said in frustration, "Can you speak in plain terms? What special significance does the power plant location have?"

Mountain Eagle glanced at the equally curious Daria and said with a smile, "El Salvador has the best geothermal resources in all of Central America, and it also has very beautiful beaches.

A large power plant can not only supply electricity to local residents but also support a large tourist resort.

You all know Mexico Cancun, what's the biggest industry there?"

Mori and Daria exchanged a glance, then breathed in suddenly and said, "Shit, money laundering!"

Mountain Eagle nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, money laundering!

Cancun was developed with the funds of drug lords. They find a scenic beach, build hotels nearby, and regardless of whether anyone stays, they turn on the room lights every night and take the cash room payments to report taxes.

They use strong capital to drive local tourism in Cancun, while also spawning real estate investment projects, thus forming a new money laundering pool.

To be honest, I originally planned to do this in Kamui because Mr. Poincaré said he could reach out to a lot of underground funds.

I once considered investing in high-end apartments and hotels in Kamui, creating a money laundering center facing the Indian Ocean, then working with my father-in-law to target a batch of red-listed individuals, but this later got delayed…"

Mori frowned as he looked at Mountain Eagle, slightly puzzled, and said, "The situation in El Salvador is terrible. To develop an industry that can be used for money laundering would require huge investment of funds, manpower, and political resources…

It's not worth it. Instead of wasting energy on El Salvador, it's better to go to Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica, or even Belize, where mature supporting industries exist.

This simply isn't something that can be accomplished with 250 million US Dollars!"

Mountain Eagle waved his hand and said, "You're still not getting it, the real investment is 250 million US Dollars, but the publicly announced figure will be another number, maybe 5 billion, maybe 8 billion. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

However, these are not the most important things; the most important is the virtual currency exchange center.

Currently, Bitcoin exchange centers are in Asia, and a giant market worth nearly a hundred billion has already formed there.

The model can be transplanted; gather a group of IT engineers and you can build an online trading center. As long as there is legitimacy certification, a massive capital pool can be rapidly established.

And through Bitcoin trading, utilizing the convenience of cross-border payments via Bitcoin, a gigantic money laundering center can be created.

Currently, the FBI claims to be able to track Bitcoin transactions, but in reality, underground transactions have many ways to circumvent FBI supervision.

That's what truly excites William Hurt...

After more than a decade, the chemical weapons destruction project has only seen $40 billion disappear, but the NGO organizations surrounding this project have consumed nearly $100 billion on paper, all of which are involved in money laundering.

Build a small wooden cabin by some river, then hire someone there to bring some river water every week for testing, and in one year, it costs tens of millions of dollars.

If that's not money laundering, what is?

You Americans have pushed the cost of running the country to an incredible level; innumerable contractors and interest groups are feasting on the Federation's budget, living extremely comfortably...

Compared to those contractors, politicians also enjoy the dividends, but they can't spend that money freely; they need to transfer it abroad, clean it, and then bring it back.

There's no shorter path than virtual currency!

The group William Hurt represents is unbelievably greedy, yet equally, they hold enormous power in their hands.

Work with them, and easily mobilize the power of the United States Department of State, providing my operations in El Salvador with political protection from the United States.

Buddy, your mission is heavy; you not only need to use our existing resources to set up a company in Washington to support Kobe's Refugee Group, but also get some of the Department of Homeland Security's budget.

Most importantly, you need to contact those Silicon Valley moguls in California, for they are truly the ones most interested in virtual currency.

We solved the Snowden issue; we prevented them from massive losses, so they owe us a favor.

I'll have Snowden create a virtual currency trading software, then you bring this software to them for financing.

Compared with those cash-consuming money laundering projects, this is the real big business!"

Mori absorbed for a long time, finally wiping the sweat from his forehead due to excitement, he said unbelievably, "You just draw a big pie, and William Hurt invested $250 million in you, if things don't go through in the end..."

Mountain Eagle gestured with his hand and smiled, saying, "Controlling the political situation in El Salvador is a breeze for a big shot like William Hurt.

So power plants, Bitcoin mining pools, tourist areas are all projects with controllable risks.

The earnings from these projects, plus the special benefits from equity transfers post-financialization of several projects, are already enough to offset investment risks.

A few boasting masters in the United States buy a few plots of empty land, get people to write a few reports, and they blew up a shale oil bubble of nearly $100 billion.

The United States subsidized hundreds of billions in green energy projects, but didn't see many windmills, ultimately putting a few idiots in jail and leaving it unresolved.

Compared with these, my project is undoubtedly more valuable because they believe someone who can solve the Snowden issue can fully control El Salvador with their support.

El Salvador is a country anyway, they have unimaginable powers and conveniences.

As for the virtual currency trading system, that is the real big benefit head, the biggest increment of our project, whether we can secure it depends on whether you can persuade those Silicon Valley moguls.

Only if they join, can this virtual currency trading system possess authority!"

Mori rubbed his chubby face forcefully after listening, somewhat nervously looking at Mountain Eagle, and said, "250 million dollars, I'm still worried...

That money has been transferred, and if you face obstacles with the investment in El Salvador...

Mountain, William Hurt is a leading figure in the Senate, that guy is truly a big shot; if, once..."

Mountain Eagle watched the somewhat timid Mori, smiling and shaking his head...

PPT investment scams are not unusual; 250 million dollars, honestly, isn't considered big money in the investment world.

What makes Mori nervous is not the money, but the power in William Hurt's hands!

Investing in El Salvador isn't difficult at all, but conducting solid construction there and completing the project as per the content on the PPT on time is indeed very challenging.

However, if things were truly simple, why would Mountain Eagle be able to take the lead?

Facing Mori's timidity, Mountain Eagle laughed and said, "Buddy, everything you do carries risks...

And I have the ability to manage risks, and I also have the ability to advance project progress!

Most importantly, that $250 million will soon return to his hands, what's there to fear?"

Mori looked at Mountain Eagle's calm face and reluctantly said, "Mountain, do you want to listen to what you're saying?"
