Chapter 834 - 779: When I Get Ruthless, I Even Beat My Own Daughter
Since arriving at the camp, Camel and Eagle Claw had been somewhat non-existent, now lurking in the woods opposite the small lake camp...
These two guys, one is Tiffany's dad, the other is Lilith's dad, single fathers raising daughters since childhood, the girls inevitably have issues in various aspects.
Now they've handed their daughters over to Mountain Eagle, originally hoping this promising young man would give these two girls a hand...
But Mountain Eagle is like a hands-off manager, besides initially pulling Tiffany out of her messed-up steroid fitness plan and leading the girl through a slimming round by example, he hasn't done anything else that impressed the two old dads.
Although the name Arctic Fox Rescue Team sounds quite loud, their actual work is similar to charity volunteers so far...
Two brawny women capable of running horses on their arms, setting aside romance, taking a just-turned-adult girl, flying around the world all focused on work like paying for lawyers for people or helping them find jobs.
These two old fellows don't understand that Tiffany's work is very important for Mountain Eagle in building his Shadow Fleet trade network...
Because Arctic Fox's descendants generally have hard personalities, if they're reaching out for help, it shows they've really hit rock bottom.
At this moment, Tiffany's appearance is not just a representation of humanitarian concern, it can also encourage these Arctic Fox family members to establish trading companies in coastal regions of their countries.
This is the job Mountain Eagle envisioned for them...
In the early stages, they don't need to do anything, just find some professional hands to set up the company's framework, then all they need to do is show up for work and monitor the phones every day as required to engage in reasonable and legal port trade to earn a substantial salary.
So far, Tiffany and the others' work achievements are limited to the Southeast Asia region, but Mountain Eagle isn't anxious at all, this kind of matter needs time to advance...
If we talk about the benefits Mountain Eagle gained from taking over Arctic Fox's logistics issues, theoretically speaking, these Arctic Fox family members, considered as 'burdens', are actually the biggest advantage.
Because they are closed off!
While the sacrificed Arctic Fox came from all over the world, internally including their family members, they possess a strong sense of small circle culture.
Arctic Fox never abandoned them during the hardest times, and they equally trust Arctic Fox, extending that trust to Mountain Eagle, willing to take some risks for him as well.
This group, equivalent to being screened, is naturally trustworthy to Mountain Eagle, which saves him a lot of time and effort compared to recruiting people all over the world and thinking of ways to control them.
Of course, there are definitely those among Arctic Fox descendants who have mixed feelings, after all, some are already third generation.
However, considering both from the perspective of humanity and benefits, cooperating with Mountain Eagle is the best choice for them.
In today's globalized world, the connection between countries is forged through trade, but this network has a lot of trade inequality and loopholes due to geopolitics and various local protectionist factors...
For example, Brazil imposes high tariffs on most consumer electronics and electromechanical products from East to protect its domestic industries, but what if my goods come from the United States or Mexico or even Panama?
For instance, East is always stuck in the lithography field, but the Dutch dare not export the most advanced lithography machines to East, but would they not dare export them to Australia or Canada, members of the Five Eyes Alliance?
As long as things get to the port and it's signed off here, who can stop it from being transferred elsewhere?
Of course, lithography machines are sensitive, doing this requires some off-the-record maneuvers to divert attention, but it's still feasible, at worst, the trade companies get fined or even sanctioned, compared to profits, it's negligible.
Bear in mind the former CEO of Black Water can go to Poly as a senior executive, and NATO's retired fighter pilot can serve as a sparring partner for the Blue Army, some have already naturalized...
As long as the money's enough in this world, anything is possible, the difference is just the cost and the length of the transaction path!
With globalization developed to this day, countries' reliance on world trade is very high, so every trade war that breaks out first spurs 'grey transactions'...
East's low-end industry shifting to Southeast Asia is one such method...
The United States imposes tariffs on me, I invest in factories there, and then you use the low tariff advantage to help me fleece the United States.
Everyone knows what's going on, the government of those black folks tacitly allows it and even secretly drives this type of industry shift, making Vietnam a bridgehead for receiving industries, with an idea to weaken East through trade friction.
However, they overlook that in times of such high reliance among everyone today, unless industries overlap, trade wars end up hurting both sides.
Assisting some Southeast Asian countries in taking away some low-end industries cannot take away the entire supply chain, the final result is East's influence will follow investments outward.
More importantly, what stimulates trade is often not grand strategies, but demand!
As long as there's demand, trade will always exist, it may just switch to another form.
