Chapter 851 - 795: Money, Connections, Resources, Opportunities
"You can't expect me to feed the meal into your mouth!"
Mountain Eagle hosted Kate, Daniel, Rosa, who traveled from afar, in his cabin...
Hearing Daria whispering in his ear, Mountain Eagle gestured for Kate and the others to find a place to sit. While tidying up the scattered documents on the table, he glanced at the curious Daniel and Rosa, smiling as he said, "If you're feeling curious, feel free to look around...
There's nothing shady here!"
Rosa couldn't help but say, "Can I visit your prison?
I want to see how legitimate it is!"
Mountain Eagle understood Rosa's hostility well; any soldier or law enforcer with a sense of honor wouldn't accept foreigners treating their country as a battlefield, openly violating the law.
Such people may sometimes seem stubborn, but from the standpoint of ordinary people, we certainly hope there are more soldiers and law enforcers like this...
Mountain Eagle waved his hand at Kate who wanted to speak, then looked at Rosa with a smile and said, "If you wish to see it, then go and have a look. Talk to those people, understand their identities, and also learn what really happened at that time?"
Mountain Eagle spread his hands towards the stern-faced Rosa and said, "Although I am not a United States citizen, I have a US green card, which means I should enjoy the same rights as US citizens.
According to the principle of territorial management, I comply with Alaskan laws and make a reasonable counterattack against enemies entering my territory...
I've been here for a long time; those people came to attack me, and I fought back. I don't think there's anything wrong with what I did!
Of course, you can nitpick about the process, but it means nothing to me; your anger is insignificant to me."
"You..."
Rosa glared at Mountain Eagle, his face turning red with anger...
Meanwhile, Daniel stepped in to ease the tension, raising a hand between the two and saying to Rosa helplessly, "Hey, Mountain Eagle is not our enemy; our enemies are the 'Replacer' and the Sinaloa Group...
Pal, we're not policemen, let alone judges; we are not responsible for judging!"
Mountain Eagle smiled indifferently and called out to "Sealion" standing at the door, "Hey, Sealion, take our two investigators around; they can see whatever they want, even if they want to interview you, answer their questions honestly."
Sealion came over, glanced at Rosa, shook his head decisively, and said, "NO, I heard from Tiffany that this guy is a coward, and also a scumbag who seduces other women before even getting divorced.
This guy couldn't even protect hostages and got his leg broken; you had Tiffany and Lilith fish him out, yet he turned around wanting to bite the boss...
I won't answer his questions!"
"Mother fucker..."
Rosa heard this and furiously extended a middle finger and cursed...
When this guy couldn't control his emotions, Kate frowned and rebuked angrily, "Have you had enough? If you don't want to listen, go out and clear your head..."
Mountain Eagle watched as Rosa stormed out and Sealion got left behind, smiling indifferently, "I have already said, the Brown Bear Camp can be freely explored...
But since you insist on doing it yourself, then..."
Mountain Eagle beckoned to Daria and said, "Prepare two camp guest rooms, charge according to resort standards.
Include private jet transport and all-inclusive meals and drinks, also provide security coverage. In this season in Alaska, $30,000 per person seems reasonable.
Round it off to one hundred thousand yuan, have Miss Kate pay for it, and give her a 150,000 receipt at the end."
Daria looked at Kate, whose expression had become somewhat peculiar, and suddenly felt much better...
Sometimes Daria found it hard to understand why actions that seemed clever to her were deemed petty tricks by the boss.
Kate's 'reprimand' was firstly to express respect towards Mountain Eagle while showcasing her cooperation intentions, and secondly, to prompt Rosa to storm off...
After all, when someone is angry, wanting a moment of quiet is quite understandable...
Then Rosa could observe and assess the camp's situation from a relatively independent perspective; any intelligence that can become leverage is a win.
Kate wasn't Mountain Eagle's subordinate; she certainly wanted cooperation, but there were negotiations involved in the cooperation between both parties...
The one with more leverage becomes the dominant player in the cooperation, obtains upstream interests, and simultaneously reduces the risks they must face.
Even Rosa didn't believe Mountain Eagle's open attitude, and Kate probably didn't either; she had too little leverage, so Rosa needed to find more leverage through observation and inquiry...
If Mountain Eagle seemed unhappy, it would indicate she was on the right track, essentially gaining a card out of thin air.
Unexpectedly, Mountain Eagle didn't intend to stop Rosa but instead delineated positions and relationships by 'charging' them...
This counts as a punishment, but the core isn't the money; it's about telling Kate: there's nothing shady here. But since you don't believe me, pay up and look around, and we'll resume negotiations after you've seen enough.
Kate clearly received Mountain Eagle's implication; however, as a public servant, whatever she spends can be claimed from taxpayers, but trying to gain leverage is imperative.
Mountain Eagle feels confident, but it doesn't mean the camp truly is flawless. From a law enforcer's perspective, if you want to nitpick, problems can always be found, and these problems become leverage...
Mountain Eagle is adept at negotiations; he's well aware of Kate's thoughts. But since he dared to invite them over, he doesn't mind them looking around...
Because showing them certain issues is essential for them to help resolve them; even if a little price is paid during negotiations, it's worth it.
When Kate and the others are bringing up existing camp issues as leverage, what they are essentially selling is 'the assurance that Brown Bear Camp won't be officially harassed'...
They are sellers, while Mountain Eagle as the buyer can negotiate.
Moreover, since Mountain Eagle holds Kate's essential needs, the negotiation power remains firmly in his hands.
As for negotiations, if these foreigners can't dominate in 'power', 'funds', 'technology', 'jurisdiction', purely playing mind games, even a random state-owned enterprise executive from East can easily handle them.
When the atmosphere became slightly tense, Kate took the initiative to break the silence, calling over Daniel, who had collaborated with Mountain Eagle; the two took their coffee and sat at the large dining table...
Looking at the scattered papers on the table, Kate quickly captured some keywords...
"San Salvador? You have business in El Salvador?"
Mountain Eagle organized and stacked the scattered papers together, nodded, and said, "I plan to build several large geothermal power plants in El Salvador...
The electricity produced there will be used to sustain a Bitcoin mining plant, and the remaining power will support several tourism resorts.
Of course, those tourism resorts don't exist yet...
I know you are curious about something, I can tell you, Senator William Hurt invested $250 million to support my plan, and the money has arrived months ago.
Several moguls from Silicon Valley also intend to participate in investing to construct a cryptocurrency trading website; the server equipment is already in place in Silicon Valley, and its security structure is designed by Snowden.
It is expected that in three to five months, that trading website will be operational, cooperating and competing to some extent with East Asia Port Island's and the island country's cryptocurrency trading network."
Kate was slightly startled, then let out a long sigh...
Money! Networking! Resources! Opportunities!
This plan has it all!
