Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger Chapter 606 - 568: Gathering Resources
Mr. Veen looked at Mountain Eagle with great admiration and said, "This is what I appreciate about you...
Mountain Eagle, 10 million is just the commission!
I admire you, so you can also treat this money as a risk investnt.
I don't have the ti and energy to deal with those minor businesses there, as long as you can successfully force Embeli to surrender to , you can beco a partner there.
I said it, I need soone who can solve problems!
The situation in Central Arica is very complicated, it needs soone smart and clear-headed..."
Mountain Eagle looked into Mr. Veen's eyes, and after a few seconds, he shook his head seriously and said, "I'm sorry, my career isn't there, I probably won't have the ti!"
Mr. Veen looked at Mountain Eagle's determined expression, shook his head with so disappointnt, and said, "Then just get rid of Embeli, write off the lost money, but I'm not in a hurry, as long as you can kill that guy within two years...
10 million commission to kill a person, and giving you two years' ti, that's definitely enough!
You are the hottest guy in the underworld right now, hiring you gives an explanation to my old friends."
An old man, who had just lost hundreds of millions of US Dollars, proposed a commission that Mountain Eagle simply could not refuse at the mont...
The contract price was reasonable. Although Mountain Eagle could guess that there were so insides to it, it wasn't related to him.
Mountain Eagle quickly assessed the old man's needs, pondered it in his heart for a few minutes, and finally nodded, "You are a super custor of International Interdiary Company, and I am a friend of Li Chengji...
OK, I'll take the commission!
However, you certainly wouldn't mind if I get soone else to do the job, right?
Pay 5 million in advance, I guarantee that guy won't have any peace within two years. That way, you can keep your old friends updated on that guy's situation from ti to ti..."
Watching Mr. Veen nod decisively to his 'improper request,' Mountain Eagle finally understood what it ant to be 'burdened by fa'!
Mr. Veen didn't want the money back for his old friends, or even Embeli's death, otherwise he wouldn't set a two-year deadline.
A money launderer and fraudster was not worth Mr. Veen's prolonged attention like Castro.
Actually, by the end, Mountain Eagle had realized that Mr. Veen's 'old friends' might not really be his true friends.
Those people lost 150 million US Dollars, and Mr. Veen filled the hole for them, while starting a 'revenge' campaign on their behalf.
Whether it's pressuring Embeli's channels in an attempt to swallow them up, or giving two years to tornt that guy, it's all to remind the 'old friends' of what Mr. Veen is doing.
This old man chose Mountain Eagle, not because he was indispensable, but because he valued Mountain Eagle's reputation!
He was telling those 'old friends' that he had made an effort!
Though Mountain Eagle did not know the full story, he could imagine...
There is a small interest group in Washington represented by Commissioner Smith, and after they took their share, several Commissioner Smiths also got a lot of money...
Commissioner Smith, as usual, transferred the money overseas to Panama, but the money was stolen. Infighting started within the group, possibly causing big trouble at any mont.
At this ti, Mr. Veen ca forward to fill in for Commissioner Smith, while promising to investigate the theft and solve the problem...
Previously, Mr. Veen ntioned so internal situations in the United States, with President Obama in his last two years of term going all-out to consolidate the position and power of the Democrats, and to prolong his policies and influence as much as possible.
The election will start warming up next year, and Washington will beco the center of the gamble!
The position of Commissioner Smith and the interest group behind him, whom they are willing to spend 150 million US Dollars to win over, must be very important! Thɪs chapter is updated by novęlfire
This Embeli is the 'bell,' and Mountain Eagle is a well-known 'hamr.'
By occasionally hitting the 'bell,' it reminds Commissioner Smith about Mr. Veen's favor and what he is doing...
Mountain Eagle guessed that Commissioner Smith and his interest group behind him must be public officials in so key positions, because politicians should not be so flustered and so easy to manipulate.
Once Mountain Eagle, the notorious 'hamr' in the underworld, takes on the task, Embeli is likely to get the news.
Mr. Veen's 10 million pays for Mountain Eagle taking on the task.
Mountain Eagle doesn't have ti to go there and wage a protracted war to squeeze Embeli, but it doesn't matter, as long as he is active, Embeli will feel the pressure.
Mountain Eagle has already stated that he won't be free lately, and Mr. Veen proposing two years is hinting that things can be dragged out, or even suggesting that it's okay for Mountain Eagle to hire soone else to go after Embeli.
There's definitely more to the story, and it's very suspicious that Embeli dared to steal the 150 million US Dollars...
But Mountain Eagle doesn't have enough information to conclude.
However, the current judgnt is enough for Mountain Eagle to weigh his options!
This old man is not idle, but he is doing several things with a penny.
10 million for a reputation is almost the sa as a fool, but it's a different story when added to Li Chengji.
That David Dupont retreated in a wretched manner, losing a lot of money, but Mr. Veen stayed, indicating that this super custor made a choice in the internal competition of International Interdiary Company.
These 10 million are a super custor's overture to Li Chengji, and if Mountain Eagle refused, Li Chengji's loss would be too great!
Because Mr. Veen is a custor, if you disappoint him, he has a reason to turn around and choose soone else.
This is the reason why Mountain Eagle finally nodded to take on the mission!
He has to protect the interests of his allies while maintaining his own, or the covenant becos worthless.
Mr. Veen seems amicable, but actually, he's very dominant!
Mountain Eagle only realized this at the end...
Mr. Veen pointed out the issue with Europe, and by discussing the shareholder structure of Anna's controlled trust company, he was saying that he had influence over the financial plate in Cyprus.
ntioning Washington and the White House problems, he was implying his connections in Washington.
Can't a person who can't accomplish things cause trouble?
He didn't speak a harsh word from start to finish, constantly praising Mountain Eagle for his lucidity, then Mountain Eagle really did beco lucid and, after weighing pros and cons, opted to take the 10 million!
Mr. Veen seed very pleased with what he had gained...
As he was leaving, in front of the guests at the soiree, he presented Li Chengji with a bank draft for ten million, expressing his satisfaction with the evening's reception and his delight in establishing cooperation with Mountain Eagle through the International Interdiary Company.
This act caused quite a stir among those present...
All seated were clients of the International Interdiary Company, so being Party A and so Party B, with so ready to switch between the two roles at any ti.
For Li Chengji, these people were all resources!
At the sa ti, for these people, the president of the International Interdiary Company was also a scarce resource.
It's just that the presidents of the various regions would compete with each other, giving these major clients room to fight for preferential treatnt.
All present were tycoons with transnational operations, not bound to respect the so-called business divisions of the International Interdiary Company.
Given the competition within the International Interdiary Company, any discount they could secure was significant.
Now Mr. Veen, a recognized big shot, had openly sided with a team by throwing down a business deal worth 10 million...
Mr. Veen rely tossed out a business worth 10 million, and Li Chengji, to stabilize him, would need to provide resources far beyond this figure over the next few years.
Stoking a cold stove is a technical job; once Mr. Veen took the lead in lighting it, the other people also knew how to fuel the fire.
...
While the soiree continued, Mr. Veen left Beverly Hills in a Maybach...
"David, you caused to lose a lot of money..."
"..."
"I know, I don't bla you, I hope you can change your impulsive personality, then I will consider working with you again."
"..."
"Of course, I'm old friends with your father, and I will still support you with so matters.
But I hope you can truly understand the significance of the president position at the International Interdiary Company. Wrestling with Li Chengji won't make you outstanding.
You should focus elsewhere; with the platform of the International Interdiary Company, you can easily access people and businesses you couldn't reach before.
New York has been eventful recently; a guy nad Hyena has killed many people. Pentagon's Surgeon General Alexander and his wife have consolidated resources of several pharmaceutical companies for a Central African charity project exceeding 60 million for their daughter.
You should pay attention to big businesses like this!
The position as president of the International Interdiary Company is just a springboard for your own career developnt, David. If you don't understand that, you will be trapped in this position for life."
"..."
"I look forward to your next performance, and stop troubling Li Chengji or that Mountain Eagle...
Go to Washington, go to Wall Street, that's where you'll find what you want!"
...
Mountain Eagle never expected that Mr. Veen, despite losing several hundred million US dollars, not only didn't fall out with David Dupont but even patiently instructed the guy on how to expand his career.
He involuntarily beca a pawn, dragged by Li Chengji amidst a bunch of high-level figures from transnational underworld groups.
Not a single good person among them; they had one thing in common: they were all in charge of money.
In their mouths, sins deserving of Hell were rely industries or businesses.
Gang bosses wear suits and ties sitting in rcedes, while the grunts swing their knives till they're hot, yet can't even get their hands on a decent pair of shoes.
Mountain Eagle was experiencing this breadth of contact for the first ti; these people were also very interested in Mountain Eagle.
When they learned that the legendary Arctic Fox and the world's third-ranking Round Table Knight took part in the battle that killed Joseph Ravensworth, and that the leaders of these two rcenary groups would join Li Chengji's soiree tomorrow, they saw Li Chengji with different eyes.
Arctic Fox and Round Table Knight were top cards in the rcenary world; they were the ones picking assignnts.
The attendance of these two rcenary groups at the soiree represented their public alignnt, and Li Chengji's value would be further magnified.
With the influx of external resources, Li Chengji had the opportunity to sort out her core circle of interests...
Mountain Eagle was adept at handling such types of social situations, a handshake, brief introductions, a drink, leaving an impression, and then selectively engaging in further communication.
The underworld, however, had less interpersonal subtleties; everyone was undertaking life-risking ventures, all driven by interest.
Seemingly polite, whether it was the content of the conversation or the nature of their work, there was an extre indifference throughout.
Mountain Eagle accompanied Li Chengji through one round, and then, feeling weary, took off his bullet-proof vest, pushed open the door of the hall, and stepped out to the poolside.
He grabbed a bottle of beer and was about to sit down when his phone rang...
Picking up the phone and looking at the number, Mountain Eagle answered, "Anna..."
On the phone, Anna said with a somber tone, "Mountain Eagle, negotiations in New York have concluded, and the folks at the Federal Reserve have agreed to open a pathway in Cyprus; our trust company has completed the final piece of the puzzle."
With a slightly weary voice, Anna added, "I'll arrive in Los Angeles tomorrow morning; I need protection..."
Mountain Eagle frowned and said, "Didn't you discuss this with Boss Pu? Who would dare to touch you?"
Anna chuckled and said, "During Boss Pu's presidential years, he fostered many perceived heirs; can you guess what happened to them in the end?
The Kremlin is a coliseum; to hold your ground within, one must be capable of handling danger.
I've been cautious enough, but during such a critical ti, I still want to be extra careful!
Mountain, you are the only person I trust!"
