America: Starting with Daily Intelligence

"Sir, we are not just sitting around doing nothing on the island," explained the mercenary leader White Wolf.

"Don't tell me there are still international pirates these days who will come and rob my stuff!" Allen Zhang laughed upon hearing this.

"There are no pirates, but there are often many desperate fugitives and international theft gangs who try to swindle around the island!"

White Wolf continued, "According to international conventions and geographic location, Jehovah Island does not belong to the Californian Bay area islands. Although nominally it still belongs to the United States, in reality, it is a private island near the Gulf of Mexico. This sailing route is also taken by many drug traffickers and fugitives who travel by sea cruise. Whether it's to traffic drugs to South America or to smuggle, they choose this route. That's why there's a complex mix of maritime personnel, and many want to target Jehovah Island. Mr. Priyan is a well-known billionaire, and to eliminate this potential risk, we're hired to ensure the island's security."

"..." Allen Zhang fell into deep thought upon hearing this.

"Boss, just half a month ago, a Filipino hacker group broke into our security network and cameras. They also hired professional theft gangs to sneak onto the island and steal some collected artworks. If it wasn't for our timely discovery, they almost made off with Mr. Priyan's gold reserves! Several of our men were injured in the firefight with them,"

said the mercenaries gravely.

"..."

Allen Zhang's smile froze, and he looked at the mercenaries with a sense of questioning life.

Damn, I'm really turning into Old Jin of Perry Island.

Shit, hopefully no one actually comes to the island to rob my money, right?

He calmed down quickly and said, "If they want to taste the power of the Coastal Combat Ship's cannons and missiles, they can try. I'm not Priyan!"

"Sir, of course you're not Priyan. You will be richer and more powerful than Priyan. But one is not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves coveting. Those international desperadoes are not in their right minds, they don't care about their lives when it comes to money. You can't possibly stay on the island forever, guarding your own little piece of land."

"When others hear you're not on the island, they will definitely seize the opportunity to exploit the situation and try to plunder your treasures!" White Wolf said, "Unless you don't store anything valuable on this island."

Allen Zhang pondered, "I will definitely transfer some assets here, otherwise why would I want this island?"

This is going to be his future stronghold.

Decentralization, de-bank-ization, saving some cash, gold, and collectible hard assets.

With multiple hiding places, one must always be prepared.

Otherwise, if there was a problem with his assets on the West Coast and they got seized, without a cent on him, he could declare bankruptcy right away.

Wealthy people's assets include buying land and real estate globally, and more bluntly, they directly build bunkers and construct vaults to store gold or cash.

Madison not only has his private island, where he stores collectibles and hard currency, but his assets and money are not all in California either. Swiss Bank, Royal Bank, DBS Bank, Toronto-Dominion Bank, his accounts are everywhere in the developed countries of the world.

But Madison's most substantial actual assets are still on his private island, that collection of art is worth at least several billion US dollars. Other things in the bank are just numbers.

Old Deng, without making any noise, has a full net worth of at least two billion US dollars!

The General Sect Leader now only has the Foundation to store funds. Honestly, although it's safe, it's not that safe, and its main function is still used for tax purposes.

"Take me to see the other constructions on the island first, do you have the blueprints for Jehovah Island?" Allen Zhang said, as he had yet to familiarize himself with his private island.

"Sir, this is the private island's blueprint, I am the Chief Engineer of Jehovah Island." A middle-aged man wearing a white construction helmet and glasses hurriedly came over, took out A4 paper from his briefcase, and handed over the island's secret core blueprint to the General Sect Leader.

"This blueprint hasn't been leaked, has it?" Allen Zhang glanced at it, it had marked important structural locations, including the tower, pillbox, and the underground projects that seemed yet to be completed. If any sensitive areas were leaked, they would have to be rebuilt.

"No, those people yesterday were only busy scrambling for gold and antiques. They had no interest in the blueprints." The engineer shook his head, "That area was originally going to be built as an underground laboratory."
