Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 483: Penny-pinching
Shanying didn't know if he would regret it, but he admitted that he was indeed a little tempted...

But only a little!

After watching Miranda and the others enter the woods to clean up the mess and come out, Shanying vomited out the food in his stomach. Shanying said with a smile: "Ms. Li, you mentioned so many benefits, but I didn't hear what I can get."

Li Chengji on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said with a smile: "You are a greedy bastard, isn't it enough what I have done?"

Shanying saw that Miranda and the others had almost finished vomiting, so he stimulated the two giant wolves through the controller, and instantly two painful roars were heard in the woods...

Miranda, who was holding her knees and vomiting, heard the giant wolf's roar. She wiped the stains from the corners of her mouth, called Red Cardinal loudly, and rushed into the woods with a shotgun.

Hearing the chaotic voices and gunshots in the woods, Shanying lay on the recliner holding the phone and said with a smile: "No matter how much you do for S N Deng, it has nothing to do with me..."

Li Chengji asked curiously: "Do you know what kind of threat you will face?

Are you that confident in yourself?"

Shanying nodded as a matter of course and said, "Of course, otherwise things wouldn't have developed to this point!
I don't mind someone coming in and having a share of the pie, because it's not taking food from my bowl anyway.

But I do mind when someone is clearly trying to take advantage of me but still claims to be helping me!"

Shanying paused for a moment and continued, "The most important quality of every successful person is risk awareness, just like every successful rich person needs an impeccable prenuptial agreement.

You must have assessed the risks and determined that the risks are controllable, so you put the international intermediary company on the negotiation table as a bargaining chip.

There is certainly nothing wrong with Ms. Li taking advantage of the icing on the cake to get a ride, but if you treat the captain as a fool, that's not good."

Li Chengji was silent for a long time, and she admitted that she underestimated Shanying...

Even though she saw with her own eyes how this guy magnified a cruise ship hijacking incident, completed the blackmail on the pirate king Faiz, and at the same time propped up Krabi's regional tourism industry...

But she still didn't really see the mountain eagle clearly!

This guy is incredibly clear-headed!

She said so much and switched the concepts, excluding the US and Russian intelligence organizations. By ignoring their roles, she can magnify the crisis.

It turns out that the mountain eagle doesn’t buy it at all!
Li Chengji now particularly regretted that she had just mentioned Beverly Hills and a team of elite soldiers...

Because this kind of power structure is actually her representing an international intermediary company. In addition to publicly standing up to buy insurance for S N Deng, she actually invested in Shanying.

The cost is too low!
This cost information exposed her expectations of risk, making the things she had previously laid out about risk much less effective in Shanying.

Li Chengji didn't regret being caught by Shanying. After all, she didn't have to pay the price personally...

What made her regret was that she did not make more comprehensive preparations, which resulted in her being suppressed by the Mountain Eagle even though she had the advantage.

Ever since she met Shanying, she has never had the slightest advantage.

The competitive spirit that came from her bones made her feel like when she was playing Werewolf and she got the wolf card but accidentally exploded. She felt both frustrated and uncomfortable.

Li Chengji was silent for nearly a minute. She finally said helplessly: "OK, what do you want?"

Shanying smiled and said, "I also want an 8000 million dollar revenge fund...

It is said that with this revenge fund, one will become a super VIP of the international intermediary company, and the insured person and his family will be covered by the revenge fund's insurance.

Of course, I definitely don’t want the 8000 million in annual revenue…

However, I need to enjoy the same privileges as other super VIPs, and not be targeted by international intermediary companies. At the same time, when necessary, I need you to provide me with a certain degree of intelligence assistance."

Li Chengji was so angry that she said unhappily: "Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
8000 million US dollars, do you know what this number means?

I was able to set up a revenge fund for Stanford because I was able to convince the board that protecting Stanford would yield sufficient returns for us.

What do we gain by protecting you?"

Li Chengji changed the subject and said, "But if you are willing to invest 4000 million US dollars yourself, I can convince the board of directors to set up an 8000 million US dollar revenge fund for you, and the service content is exactly the same as other VIPs.

You have an 8000 million dollar fund in Thailand. It is not difficult for you to withdraw million and invest it in an international intermediary company as a revenge fund.

And we can give you the highest ratio, providing you with 6.5% return every year, and if you want to get your funds back, just notify me 3 months in advance.

I can tell you clearly that the normal revenge fund only has an annual return of 0.3% to 1.5%. "

Shanying was amused by Li Chengji's words...

This model sounds like an illegal fund-raising scheme, except that the international intermediary companies have a very large plate, and those top rich people do have this demand. Just think of it as spending money to buy a low-yield fund, and at the same time buying a privilege and early warning service that is not targeted by international intermediary companies.

You have to know that the international agency is currently the largest human resources platform in the underground world, and the identity information of those super VIPs is kept confidential unless they announce it themselves...

For example, a wealthy man named A has committed many evil deeds. After losing everything, someone goes to the platform to find a killer to kill him...

As a result, A bought the highest level of revenge fund, so the platform did not accept the order and also warned A that someone wanted to kill him.

Of course, in order to maintain their credibility, they will not disclose the information of the person placing the order.

But there is a core logic here, which is to make those rich people maintain a sense of crisis so that the platform can make more money, or raise more funds.

In fact, when it comes down to it, international brokerage companies cannot grow to such a large scale by earning commissions, and the wealthy and powerful are their real profit targets.

There must be a huge pool of funds behind international intermediary companies, and this pool of funds can allow their shareholders to earn sufficient returns under the general trend of globalized and decentralized finance.

It's like you set up a labor market and got the information of tens of thousands of migrant workers. Relying on introducing jobs to them not only makes money slowly but also has very high management costs.

However, if we rely on this labor market and attract companies to invest in it on the grounds of assisting companies in managing workers, after raising enough funds, we can then make more profitable financial investments.

Currently, many companies in the world are following this path, except that some use their own money and some use other people's money.

Because real industry really doesn’t make money, but finance makes too much money!
A simple foreign exchange arbitrage transaction with an annual return of 3 to 6% can crush the profits of most physical enterprises.

And he doesn’t even pay taxes on this stuff!

Facing Li Chengji's deception, Shanying refused without hesitation and said, "Then there is no room for negotiation!
Wanting to take a boat but not wanting to buy a ticket won’t work with me! ”

After saying that, Shanying hung up the phone without hesitation, then stretched his body...

Since taking over the commission from S N Deng, he has been working hard to build a brand for himself.

However, his first idea was to use bundling of S&D to create a brand premium, and then inflate his own chips to play games with multiple parties.

At that time it was a forced choice, because if you were a small person, no one would even look at you, and there would be no basis for negotiation.

But now things have changed...

It is obvious that with the help of middleman Mori in the United States, the influence of Snowden's scandal has been magnified many times.

The importance of Shanying as a spokesperson has been magnified many times, so much so that people of Li Chengji's level also want to come in and get a piece of the pie.

Just when Shanying wanted to ask Dalia to get him a drink to celebrate, he received a message on his phone that a commission of 250 million US dollars had arrived...

Shanying, in a good mood, looked at Dalia who had been squatting beside him and eavesdropping, and said with a smile: "If you want to listen, just listen openly. Go get me a drink, and then ask the butcher when they will be back.

Let little Ruby come over and prepare the plane. We need to get these two poor hostages to Fairbanks Airport safely."

Dahlia quickly got Shanying a glass of whiskey. After watching the boss drink half of the glass in one gulp, she carefully said, "Boss, why don't you agree with the other party's suggestion?
We have very few people, and if someone really wants to target you, it could be dangerous.

You are in poor health now. Once..."

Shanying smiled and waved his hands, saying: "International intermediary companies want to take advantage of the situation, and what they provide cannot solve my core needs.

But I nodded that what I could offer would address Lee Sung-hee’s core needs, and although I didn’t know exactly how they would do it, I was sure that international agencies could make a lot of money.

This is like venture capital, the prices of the first, second and third rounds of financing are different!

If she had come to me and made a similar offer when we were in Moscow, I would have not hesitated, but now..."

Dalia nodded hesitantly after hearing this...

Shanying didn't want to explain too much. He looked at the phone that lit up again, smiled and answered it, then handed the phone to Dalia and deliberately said, "Tell her I'm busy now and may not be free tomorrow..."

Dalia was stunned for a moment, took the phone, hesitated and said: "Hello, my boss said he is very busy and may not be free tomorrow..."

After she finished speaking, she heard the other party hang up the phone heavily. Then she patted her chest and said nervously, "This is the feeling of hanging up the phone with an important person. It's very exciting!"

Shanying said with a smile: "There will definitely be more exciting things in the future!"

As soon as Shanying finished speaking, Dalia's work phone rang. She picked it up and listened for a few seconds, then looked at her boss in surprise. She covered the microphone and said, "Boss, something more exciting is coming..."
