King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer-Chapter 1894 - 1571: Super Business

Money is really not an issue for Boss Joe now...

Once upon a time, Boss Joe was also one of those people who looked at money for everything, but as his status gradually increased and the affairs he needed to deal with changed, he finally understood some things he couldn’t imagine before.

The purchasing power that money brings, the rights it can convert into, have an upper limit!

And the responsibilities corresponding to the power above money sometimes really can’t be solved simply by having money.

Facing Soleimani, who has fallen into a money pit, Joe Ga helplessly called and urged Aaron to hurry over.

Kyiv is no longer safe for this guy now, but Odessa is fine...

Even for the war financial channels in Aaron’s hands, international intermediary companies have to completely break with the Edward Foundation, plus the friction between the Rothschild family and the Edward Foundation will allow Aaron to garner unprecedented support from within his original system.

This is just the right opportunity for him to expand his grand plans!

It’s just about making money, and the geographical location of Odessa is more convenient for these two money strings to operate.

In fact, Europe and America seizing the assets of Russian oligarchs is a form of deterrence, using these high-value assets to threaten those big oligarchs, making them oppose Boss Putin, creating problems within Russia...

They can only legislate to freeze those assets, not actually incorporate them into the national treasury. They need to leave some hope for those big oligarchs; otherwise, they will completely push those oligarchs toward Boss Putin and invite corresponding retaliation from Russia.

However, the Europeans and Americans were wrong this time...

Boss Putin has been a sycophant for many years, giving them the illusion that they could bring down Boss Putin as long as they slightly erupted.

In the end, a strong man is just a strong man. Boss Putin slightly tightened control domestically, and those large and small oligarchs under the Sylwek Group obediently chose to comply. The few who couldn’t see the situation clearly quickly fell silent.

The Europeans and Americans use the logic of free market capital to handle those oligarchs, which indeed works to some extent in normal times...

Especially during the phase when Russia tried hard to get closer to Europe, this method even affected the ideology within Russia to some extent.

But when it comes to the critical moment, those large and small oligarchs are still rational, because their wealth’s root is in Russia...

America kicking Russia out of the Swift system was definitely a bad move because kicking Russia out of the international trade system resulted in losing the biggest bargaining chip to handle Russia.

If you don’t include Russia, naturally it has fewer concerns, so choosing to trade oil in other currencies, impacting the US Dollar’s monopoly is a reasonable choice.

America overestimated its influence and underestimated the degree of dependence Europe has on Russian energy, as well as those politicians’ cunning...

They left a loophole in the terms of the sanctions!

Russian energy can enter Europe through third-country transit.

Russia indeed suffers greatly because of this, but the extension of energy trading channels increases Europe’s energy costs while once again creating a boom in maritime energy trade, also fattening intermediaries like Hungary and India...

Just simply flipping the energy, one can earn an unimaginable huge price difference!

India, which in the past decades could only amuse itself behind closed doors, having been squeezed dry by Russia, suddenly found it could in turn pinch Russia. Thus, during this phase, they really lifted up, started boasting and posturing like a boss.

But compared to these intermediaries, a certain eastern country, although not speaking loudly, quietly took away the most valuable part.

Because Indian money is worthless once it leaves India, and without US Dollars or Euros getting used, Russia’s only choice to fill its domestic material shortage is RMB, because only with RMB can they buy everything they want.

And Russia’s actions can lead a large group of small countries influenced by it to follow suit, quickly magnifying the value of RMB.

Because money itself is just paper, only when it can buy goods and valuable assets does that paper have value.

And the East can meet your needs for all types of products; whatever you lack, I sell it to you, without touching the industries you want to protect.

Even if you think it’s necessary, my massive consumer market can help you digest certain specialty goods, letting you see the money coming back your way.

This is the real ’big business’, not needing to choose sides for fights, casually touching on the trade gap produced by international games!

Not only making money, but also playing the role of a nice person!

Joe Ga is not particularly interested in the frozen wealth of those large and small oligarchs, spending effort with Soleimani and Aaron for mere crumbs is pointless. Instead, taking advantage of Odessa Port’s convenience to deal with grain trade makes more sense.

This year is a disaster year, even in a poor place like Aqionghan, they have encountered once-a-century floods and earthquakes...

From April 2022 to this July, floods in Aqionghan, Pakistan, India, hurricanes in the Philippines, floods in South Africa, Nigeria, Brazil, high heat and drought in Europe, drought in East Africa...

These concentrated disasters all indicate an international grain price boom.

By controlling Odessa’s crucial point, Boss Joe can easily leverage international grain prices...

He doesn’t even need to try hard to buy Ukraine’s grain; just by controlling the port, he can make global grain merchants look at his face during this wartime window.

Grain’s intrinsic value is frankly limited, but controlling grain prices brings unbelievable vast financial derivative benefits, and if Joe Ga can utilize this grain channel well, he can gain incredible political influence in this disaster year.

Your home is hit by disaster, and when those developed countries start hoarding grain, how do you feed your civilians enough?

Go find Hu Lang!

You’ve been hit by disaster, so you obviously don’t have much money, but no worries, Hu Lang can accept various payment methods. As long as you provide collateral, P.B. Bank can directly approve loans for you to buy grain.

This way, you earn by selling grains, earn another by lending from the bank, and the money flows within the banking system, earning multiple times.

Joe Ga doesn’t need to control grain prices to earn unscrupulous money; by wholeheartedly helping some disaster-stricken nations, he can become a savior-like existence!

Those international grain merchants actually controlling Ukraine’s grain and the Ukrainian government can’t do anything about him, because only Odessa can meet such large export needs.

Boss Joe offers 80% of market price asking you sell or not, who dares say no; your stock might only go rail to Europe otherwise.

Those grain giants might courageously leave grains to rot in warehouses, pushing up grain prices to offset losses.

However, the Ukrainian government holding more grains and lands absolutely can’t stand it, because they need money to sustain the war, they will certainly seek grain export.

P.B. Bank, so reputable a company, is an irresistible existence for them!

Moreover, the continuation of the war will certainly make Ukrainian politicians resort to selling national assets for survival, which is extremely valuable for Boss Joe holding massive wealth and sales channels.

He definitely can’t compete against giant American capitals, but relying on the significance of Odessa Port, he can easily savor the juiciest portion in this feast.

Because the port can determine the production cost of Ukraine’s grain, for American grain giants, if not collaborating with him, the only way to profit is transporting grains by railway to Europe for consumption.

Under these circumstances, not only is transportation troublesome, but those grains due to America’s trade favoritism towards European countries cause huge impacts on local European agriculture.

This is a typical business where everyone loses!

While waiting for Aaron, Joe Ga listened to Soleimani’s non-stop business philosophy, seeing this once devout MS audience talking finance and industry... 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Having requests of Soleimani, Boss Joe endured listening to his blabber for hours until he received a call from Aqionghan...

The leaders of the Taliban pleadingly asked him to send some grain there to save lives, even offering those explored oil fields in the north as collateral...

Soleimani, busy calculating the biggest profit, got frustrated...

"What the hell is this situation?"

Joe Ga spread his hands and said, "Because I’m Hu Lang the good guy, and only I am willing to lend a helping hand to the Taliban at this time..."
