Chapter 121: Great Undertaking
Blood Fox asked Mountain Eagle what he wanted to do, Mountain Eagle found it difficult to answer concisely because he wanted a lot!
Mountain Eagle had once climbed a relatively high position through the world’s most convoluted food chain and once believed he had the chance to reach even higher.
But in the past two days, he suddenly realized something, recognized the vastness of the world, and understood that whether it’s above ground or underground, if one could reach the end, the result would be the same.
This realization was very stimulating for Mountain Eagle, and it also acted as a motivation!
He never hoped he could completely clean up his act, but he hoped that one day he could freely reunite with his wife and children.
Initially, he thought about establishing a safe zone, but later he realized he could do much more...
By getting hold of the smugglers and establishing enough credibility and prestige, he would have a chance to monopolize the refined oil market in Kamui through business competition.
The core of the refined oil trade is not about making money by reselling refined oils, but by establishing local consumption habits of refined oils, and to limitedly influence or even guide the movements of both smuggler ships and legitimate ships.
What many people don’t know is that due to tax issues, the export price of refined oils from Hua Country is about 45% lower than the price used by Hua Country people themselves.
Currently, the price of petrol in Thailand fluctuates around 35 Thai Baht per liter, whereas the landing price of exported petrol from Hua Country is approximately 21 Thai Baht per liter.
Due to the ASEAN trade privileges, the cost of imported petrol including taxes will not exceed 23 Thai Baht per liter, with diesel offering even higher profits.
