CHAPTER 493: CHAPTER 457: CHANGES IN THE CAMP, EXPLOSIVE NEWS

Mountain Eagle watched as Yuliy, Post Box, and Pirate, accompanied by two Big Dobermans, boarded the plane, and then he insisted on walking nearly a kilometer by himself from the runway to the camp.

At this time, the camp had undergone significant changes compared to when Mountain Eagle had left.

The trade in daily necessities was still ongoing...

During the hunting season, the Indians had a great demand for daily necessities, as Brown Bear Camp had the most comprehensive supply of daily goods in the surrounding area. Now, even Indian tribes from a hundred kilometers away came by boat to Brown Bear Camp to trade furs and processed Emperor Salmon with the camp.

Wayne’s local tribe hunters split in half, with some staying at Brown Bear Camp to assist, accompanied by their women and children.

Construction was now the main task at this camp!

With the appearance of infants, Old Ruby and his son voluntarily gave up the log cabin they had built themselves and gave it to the children.

They then somehow managed to buy a dozen containers, extremely rare in inland Alaska, and began to re-plan and reconstruct the camp.

Containers are truly excellent building materials. As long as they are well insulated inside and out, they can withstand the harsh winters of Alaska, where temperatures can drop below freezing.

Moreover, because of the nature of the materials, solving the heat dissipation issue means heating within the container houses can save a lot of fuel.

Mountain Eagle walked slowly on the cobblestone-paved road, watching the surrounding area being cleared of trash, becoming neat and refreshing, which gave him an inexplicable sense of comfort.

Seeing Shasili waving at him from the log cabin door, accompanied by a few Indian women, Mountain Eagle smiled and greeted...

This girl, who had a troubled life, seemed not to mind becoming a nanny. Seeing her patience with several diaper-clad children running around, Mountain Eagle gave a thumbs up in approval, then respectfully avoided the cabin full of infants.

It wasn’t that he didn’t like children, but his current physical condition was too poor to handle the infants’ bombardment.

Some of Luna’s emotionally attached playmates had to stay, but the whereabouts of the newborn infants still needed careful consideration.

It wasn’t that they couldn’t afford to raise them, but making a decision means taking responsibility, and responsibility requires clear thinking.

He didn’t have time to consider the children’s issues at the moment, so he chose to respectfully keep his distance, avoiding developing emotions that could interfere with making rational decisions.

When Indian Wayne saw Mountain Eagle, this usually solemn man’s face broke into a happy smile, and he strode over to give Mountain Eagle a strong hug...

Hearing Mountain Eagle utter a painful groan, Wayne held Mountain Eagle’s shoulders and laughingly said, "Mountain, you are the toughest warrior I’ve ever seen. I told you you’d get better..."

Feeling the strength of Wayne’s hands, Mountain Eagle replied smilingly, "Yes, I’ll get better..."

Wayne was now sure that Mountain Eagle’s spirit was strong. He grabbed Mountain Eagle and hurriedly walked a few steps to a half-built log cabin, saying, "I’ve moved the materials our tribe has collected over years here, and we’ll build you the best cabin where you can spend the winter with your kids..."

Mountain Eagle looked at the larch logs, each at least 50 centimeters in diameter, and exclaimed, "It will take at least two to three years to process these materials. Thank you..."

In Alaska, where Indians maintain a subsistence lifestyle, talking humbly was not in their vocabulary. Wayne walked over to a thick log, slapped the trunk, and said, "These materials have been aged over three years. We’ve removed the damaged parts, and all you need to do is apply antiseptic treatment, then you can use the rest to build a house that will last you a hundred years."

Mountain Eagle gave a thumbs up, smiling, "That’s why I said thank you, thank you to you and everyone else. Brown Bear Camp will always be your friend!"

Hearing this, Wayne came up to Mountain Eagle, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Mountain, State Police Michael and Scott told me you bought the auctioned land from Dimension Card Company...

Can we hunt in your territory?"

There are many reindeer and sheep there, reindeer are fine, but those sheep simply can’t survive the winter..."

Mountain Eagle pointed at himself and said, "Me? I bought land from Dimension Card Company? How come I didn’t know about this?"

Mr. Poincaré, who had been following Mountain Eagle, laughed and said, "The Alaska State Government was eager to resolve the Dimension Card Company’s issues. They issued a huge fine and then directly auctioned off Dimension Card Company’s land to raise some funds to address those issues with the pregnant women.

Black Fox coughed up all the money he earned from the Royce family and the Green Nature Foundation. I had Yuliy accompany the money to an internal auction, where she spent 4.5 million US dollars to obtain nearly 40,000 acres of forest land.

The Alaska government is considering auctioning the mountain land where the laboratory is located. I suggest you keep an eye on that.

Not only is there a gold mine inside that mountain, but there are also extractable purple crystals, and since the Alaska government is eager to unload this burden, the price will not be too high."

Mountain Eagle nodded in admiration after hearing this. Mr. Poincaré, this seasoned European accountant, has the typical asset management mindset of old European money.

Land and resources are his most valued assets, as they are highly non-renewable. While the investment returns might not be very high, they always hold value.

When Mountain Eagle was unconscious, he had too much cash in his hands. Only by converting it into tangible assets could it be more easily passed down through generations.

Because if one only has money without tangible assets to rely on, Xiao Wan and her child, who have a lot of cash, would easily become targets for hunting.

The newly rich based on finance keep changing, while old money, although on a decline, has always been as stable as Mount Tai in terms of asset structure and intergenerational transfer, benefitting from this somewhat conservative, and even somewhat anti-globalization investment mindset.

Because possessing tangible assets provides a foundation for effectively developing regional influence, which then naturally enjoys priority protection under the law.

Mr. Poincaré, who has been handling Arctic Fox’s finances for many years, knows more than anyone that having money alone is useless!

After understanding the current surrounding situation, Mountain Eagle thought for a while and said to Wayne, "Those cattle lost in the woods with no shelter will definitely not be able to survive the winter, but the sheep might still have a chance.

You can go hunting, but in return, I need you to herd the sheep closer if possible; we’ll figure a way to collect enough fodder.

We’ll try it out, we keep as many as we can; at least this way, the camp will have fresh meat to eat during the winter.

If possible, I’d also want you to herd the cattle closer for slaughter. Take the beef but send me the hide and the innards too.

There are too many animals at the camp, it’s a bit too luxurious to feed them meat, innards mixed with fish would suffice."

As Mountain Eagle said this, he noticed an astonished Wayne, and with a smile, he said, "How about it, you cowboys can do this job, right?"

Wayne nodded excitedly and said, "No problem, if you could lend us the camp’s hounds for a bit, we could get the job done faster."

Mountain Eagle looked at the children who were crazily running in front of him and his son trying hard to keep up with his friends with four semi-adult puppies, he contemplated for a moment and said, "Sure, I’ll take the kids and join you for a round; they’re definitely interested in this task."

Wayne nodded firmly and said, "OK, I’ll have the hunters survey the distribution of cattle and sheep first, we’ll set off in a week."

Upon finishing, this Indian man who was unsentimental left Mountain Eagle standing there alone and turned to inform his tribesmen of the good news...

Had it not been for Mountain Eagle’s understanding of these Indians, he might have been irritated by this guy’s manners.

But only those who truly understand them know, these people simply do not possess this kind of worldly politeness in their life; only by getting used to their ways can one genuinely feel the sincerity of these Indians.

Most of them don’t pay lip service, but they’re willing to share everything with friends, and some would even go through fire for their friends.

For Mountain Eagle, this is what’s truly valuable and it’s also the foundation of the Brown Bear Camp.

Watching Wayne leave, Mountain Eagle leisurely walked around the camp. He noticed Mr. Poincaré looked a bit tired, so he voluntarily sat down at an outdoor table and chairs...

Just as he was about to suggest Mr. Poincaré rest, Daria suddenly ran over with a satellite phone in hand...

"Boss, it’s Miss Anna’s call..."

Mountain Eagle took the phone to his ear and said, "Hey, Anna..."

Anna was silent for a few seconds on the other side and then said, "Mountain Eagle, I’m sorry I wasn’t by your side when you were unconscious, how are you now?"

Mountain Eagle stretched his sore legs and said helplessly, "Not so good, what do you need from me?

I thought you were busy fighting for power and riches!"

Anna paused for a moment and said, "I won!"

Without waiting for Mountain Eagle to ask, she continued, "Last month, a Malaysia Airlines plane flying from the Netherlands to Kuala Lumpur was shot down in the Donetsk region...

My rival and his team, along with some people from the United States, were on that plane."

Mountain Eagle had been too preoccupied to follow the news lately, he incredulously said, "Did you do this?"

Anna shook her head and replied, "Of course not, I’m not crazy enough to attack civilian aviation.

It was Strev, who somehow got the information that the Kremlin was trying to recall him from the frontline...

So, he shot down the plane to escalate the conflict and force Boss Pu to step down, like accepting Crimea, and accept Donetsk’s status."

Anna gave Mountain Eagle some time to digest this explosive news and then said, "Strev made a huge mistake, but it indeed helped me gain control of the Cyprus Trust Company.

Mountain Eagle, my boss got the news, there’s progress in the negotiations about Snowden in the United States, he wants to invite you to Cyprus for a meeting, and by the way, settle the commissions we owe you."

After listening, Mountain Eagle, pinching the bridge of his nose, thought for a while and said, "I need some time to digest your news..."
