CHAPTER 495: CHAPTER 459: ENTREPRENEURIAL DREAM, PROMOTING THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU

Mountain Eagle did not immediately state his demands because the time wasn’t right yet!

If things developed as he imagined, the dominant Anna would successfully eliminate any interference from Boss Pu’s associates...

That is, with Boss Pu’s support, she was likely to obtain an independent position and angle, singlehandedly controlling Cyprus assets worth tens of billions of US Dollars.

This should have been impossible, but infighting among Boss Pu’s inner circle at this critical moment would force Boss Pu to promote Anna.

For Boss Pu, it didn’t matter who controlled these overseas assets because ultimately, the decision-making power was definitively in his hands.

Anna was like a chess piece, moving wherever Boss Pu directed.

If these positions were held by the people from the Old Petrograd Province era, it would have been troublesome for Boss Pu.

On the contrary, Anna, with her intelligence background, was easier to control because people from that system had a clearer sense of purpose and their way of doing things was more to his liking.

For instance, Mountain Eagle was sure, if Anna’s mother Erin truly loved her daughter, once she confirmed Anna’s course of action, she would immediately reveal her previous collaboration with the Belgar Lake Foundation...

Then she would explain how she used this situation to uncover spies within Russia, subsequently retiring to the sidelines to prevent Boss Pu from suspecting his daughter and simultaneously clearing obstacles for Anna’s advancement.

Mountain Eagle was not Erin, but he knew if it were him, he would choose the same, as it provided the most benefits!

Receiving credit for counter-spying activities, leaving ample room for his own people, and completely freeing his daughter from any constraints were the rational choices of a sensible person.

Moreover, Erin had superiors, and given the loyalty of Russia’s intelligence core department to Boss Pu, someone would help her make that decision even if she didn’t choose herself.

Now, Mountain Eagle didn’t want any entanglement with these people, or else there would have been many benefits to reap.

But having Anna was enough. The girl had not clearly expressed her stance, but Mountain Eagle believed that after meeting Boss Pu, external pressures would prompt her to develop a position unique to her, and thus cooperation between both parties could continue.

Once Anna officially took over the Cyprus Trust Company, investments from Germany and France would help revitalize those assets...

By renting out unused properties like houses, yachts, and shops, once cash flow was established, these assets could be bundled into a resource package for collateral loans from major European banks.

Mountain Eagle was not familiar with Cyprus, only aware that its economic environment was poor...

However, the locals’ harsh living didn’t mean foreigners were penniless; the country was still a tourist destination, and though the commercial value of those assets was falling, it didn’t necessarily mean that rents would decrease.

A strong management company could revitalize these assets and generate a slight profit after covering management costs, significantly enhancing the value of the resource package.

Given the nature of Europeans and Americans, out of assets worth ten billion US Dollars, releasing loans between 5 to 6 billion US Dollars was quite feasible.

Once utilizing Snowden’s issue to leverage certain individuals at the Federal Reserve, leaving a loophole in Cyprus’s economic plan, the value of this asset package could further enhance.

By then, Anna would control assets worth ten billion while holding a substantial amount of cash, becoming a super-rich heiress.

The most interesting part was that she was only the manager of the money, not the owner. She would definitely have a share in successful investments, but there would be many possible stances to take in case of failure.

With the financial support from the Cyprus Trust, Mountain Eagle only needed to present a somewhat reliable business plan, and then his previously planned Shadow Fleet began to take shape.

Even if the Shadow Fleet’s plan wasn’t yet mature, using the trust’s funds for other financial investments could still earn a lot of money.

True rich people don’t use their own money for business!

Having gradually evolved from a managerial mindset to a boss mindset, Mountain Eagle truly understood the meaning of this phrase.

He would never use his own money to invest in the Shadow Fleet. It was a dream; he would price the dream, share it proportionally to complete the financing.

Sharing benefits and risks, this was the correct entrepreneurial stance.

Mr. Poincaré watched as Mountain Eagle meticulously divided a meeting with Boss Pu into several parts, carefully discussing each with Anna...

This old accountant sighed and then, looking at Daria who was extremely admiring at his side, he shook his head and chuckled, "Is your boss’s room ready?

Some things you can’t learn, and even encountering them now is more harmful than beneficial..."

Daria didn’t dare to talk back, she felt a bit unconvinced and glanced at Mr. Poincaré, then pouted and was about to leave.

At that moment, Mountain Eagle ended a call and handed her the phone, smiling, "In the future, when someone calls for me, ask clearly what they want. If they’re willing to talk, show me a response or plan you’ve thought of...

Once I feel you’re qualified, then you can get a promotion!"

Saying this, Mountain Eagle looked at Daria’s prominently large chest, he smiled and said, "A woman with a chest larger than a papaya really isn’t suited for the battlefield, as long as your brain is clear, the office is your battlefield!"

Daria didn’t feel anything wrong with her boss commenting on her chest. She puffed out her chest, snorted at Mr. Poincaré, and then turned and walked away with swaying steps.

The lingering old green tea scent left Mr. Poincaré in a mixed state of laughter and tears. He said to the weary-looking Mountain Eagle, "I know you want to heavily rely on Daria and Butcher, but I advise you not to rush it.

Their loyalty is sufficient, but..."

Mountain Eagle shook his head and said, "No buts, their loyalty is sufficient, and they yearn for a better life.

These two reasons are enough for me to trust them and take on the risk of them making mistakes!"

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle looked at the noncommittal Mr. Poincaré, and said with a smile, "I have to give them a chance, otherwise, facing an increasingly large team, they will inevitably become psychologically imbalanced.

Besides, to speak frankly, the real big business in my heart isn’t anything legitimate; I need someone who can navigate both within and outside the rules to handle issues for me.

Daria is just right, she’s not capable of handling things on her own like Sofia, but she is definitely sufficient to assist me with issues.

You also said I should transition to being more like a boss; what kind of boss handles everything personally?

Of course, that’s what secretaries are for!

If it allows me more free time, even if it involves some losses, that’s acceptable."

Mr. Poincaré couldn’t help but laugh and cry looking at Mountain Eagle, and said, "You are right, time is the most precious commodity, the more successful you are, the more valuable your time!"

Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle’s expression suddenly turned cold as he said solemnly, "You’re right, the majority of the world’s top billionaires are investing in medicine, genetics, life sciences, and other fields related to longevity, essentially buying time.

I thought that laboratory was meant for producing Super Soldiers, but those are just by-products; their real goal is to find and create high-quality genes, then extract hematopoietic stem cells to maintain youth."

Speaking, Mountain Eagle looked towards Luna who was coaxing Yue Yi to try riding a cougar, and shook his head, "I’ve only heard about it before, but now I find these elderly top billionaires truly terrifying!

For the sake of extending their life, I suspect they are willing to try any method."

Mr. Poincaré, who was not young himself, thought for a moment and said, "However, you have to admit, without the massive investments from those billionaires, life sciences would not have developed so quickly!

Now AIDS is no longer a terminal illness, and many cancers we thought to be incurable have been overcome.

It’s very likely that among those achievements are things you can’t accept."

Mountain Eagle shook his head and said, "Good results do not signify that the processes are right, nor do they mean that these people shouldn’t pay a price for their actions."

Mr. Poincaré sighed lightly and said, "You still don’t want to give up your pursuit of the Solin family, do you?"

As he spoke, Mr. Poincaré saw Mountain Eagle’s face turn somber. He thought for a moment and said somewhat helplessly, "I’m not well-versed in politics, but from the current attitudes of various parties, both the United States and Alaska governments are downplaying the situation.

There’s certainly some kind of deal that has been struck, your pursuit might not yield the results you desire."

Mountain Eagle slightly nodded and said, "Of course...

Absolute power leads to absolute corruption!

The ability for any system to function rests on the fact that no organization is completely unified; there are competitors and enemies at high ranks, whether to maintain the circulation of power or for resource competition.

The Solin family must have made certain compromises to obtain their current situation.

But what does that have to do with me, everyone’s life is singular, and those who plot must price their own lives!"

As he said this, Mountain Eagle looked at Mr. Poincaré’s worried face, and smiled, "Don’t worry, Blood Fox taking Black Fox to America isn’t just to torture him.

That guy orchestrated a big game, he lost, but I think we can help him finish the last step."

Hearing this, Mr. Poincaré sighed, then stopped trying to convince Mountain Eagle to give up...

Black Fox’s actions started in Eastern Europe, then Germany, followed by Malaysia, Thailand, and the United States...

These included the Azov Organization, the Royce family, American Capital, Arctic Fox, Green Nature Foundation, among other organizations.

After Mountain Eagle forcefully collected Black Fox’s previous gains, the repercussions of Black Fox’s failure were swiftly spreading...

Mountain Eagle’s prowess had completely surpassed Mr. Poincaré’s imagination; even he himself acknowledged that sometimes his so-called experiences were outdated for Mountain Eagle.

But the old man was still worried, worried that Mountain Eagle might step into the aftermath created by Black Fox and might even end up bearing the consequences instead of Black Fox.

He was more worried about Mountain Eagle’s weaknesses being seized and exploited, because in this circle where Mountain Eagle now mingled, ruthlessness was the norm.

Once Mountain Eagle reached certain positions, his opponents would also change, and his weaknesses were all too obvious!
