Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger

For example, establish an oil company in South America, then have them purchase oil and gas from Russia, and resell it to European countries.

This method is applicable to shadow trade under various sanctions!

It was at this point Anna realized that the refined oil her mother Erin was tasked by Mountain Eagle to handle was just a trial run.

When the pressure on Russia's energy foreign trade reaches a certain level, he can jump in and profit, as long as there's a mature channel.

By then, he could transport the oil for free or pay using a loan from Great Russia Bank, settling in Europe first and then paying through other means.

Large-scale profit-from-nothing schemes are not Mountain Eagle's turn, but the plan and method are logically feasible, and as long as the ability to pay is guaranteed, Russia doesn't oppose more companies like this.

This is what Mountain Eagle discussed early on with Eddie's wife Amelia in Kamui, known as the 'Shadow Fleet.'

Amelia, the head of risk management at AXA Insurance Group, is familiar with maritime transport risks and regulations. As long as there's business, she can easily find shipping vessels registered in places like Panama.

The formulation of this plan is stuck on the payment channel issue...

Mountain Eagle's idea is to borrow from Russia to buy energy, sell it to exchange for Euros to pay off the loan, thus making extra money from exchange rate differences.

But under the backdrop of such sanctions, this type of payment is regulated.

There are ways to bypass the regulations, but the financial and legal costs derived from formal financial methods are something Mountain Eagle's scale cannot support.

Li Chengji's Syrian plan, once activated, would make it a good place for money laundering.

Moreover, Russia already has troops and influence in Syria, so completing payments there is feasible.

But the issue there is that the scale won't be too large, unable to support large-scale transfer payments.

Thus, Mountain Eagle isn't in a rush to expand business; Kamui's refined oil project is just an attempt...

Anna is willing to join in, and Mountain Eagle is glad to welcome this, since besides money, she also controls a network of greedy political connections within Russia, which can easily clear the way for him.

But before finding the last piece of the puzzle to finalize this trade model, everything can only be small-scale.

Anna probably saw Mountain Eagle's layout and admired immensely the courage and ideas of the man before her.

She herself is a Big Russian, but she never considered business in this aspect, yet this guy utilized all his connections and resources to integrate a logically coherent business model.

Anna or her mother would coordinate internal Russian relations, Amelia handles shipping arrangements, Li Chengji's Syrian plan can be used for payments, and Mountain Eagle's task is to set up trade companies in appropriate countries.

Anna herself is a descendant of Arctic Fox, but she hasn't realized that Mountain Eagle is consciously pushing the descendants of Arctic Fox all over the world to develop subjective initiative. Subsequently, they'll encourage a suitable few to establish trade companies.

Shadow trade is extremely profitable, and as long as sanctions are circumvented, most legal issues can be avoided.

For instance, the United States implemented the strictest sanctions and blockade on Cuba, which can only lead to financial blockage, simultaneously requiring its allies and partners to cooperate, prohibiting companies with trade relations with Cuba from operating in the United States.

If I register a company in Brazil to engage in some import and export trade with Cuba, the United States can't control me.

Of course, because Cuba faced financial blockade, its currency is worthless, no money for large-scale trade, but exports are still okay: as long as their cigars and coffee beans are shipped out, they sell.

Mountain Eagle, coming from a trade background, understands the value of channels best.

The descendants of Arctic Fox can form 5 points, understanding the demands of 5 locations and organizing trade targetingly; 10 points can understand the demands of 10 locations...

Transport sanctioned country's products to third-party country for transit, or vice versa, both are possible.

It's just that due to trade volume reasons, this approach is limited by the international shipping network and legal norms; therefore, profits are far less than energy transactions, but surely profitable!

This was Mountain Eagle's initial idea after taking on the issue of Arctic Fox descendants, but as he developed, this idea evolved as well.

While Anna stared at Mountain Eagle deep in thought, Daria entered the room carrying several boxes...

Watching Mountain Eagle's mid-length hair styled by the female assistant, Daria put down the boxes and took out a white shirt, smiling as she said, "Boss, you can change clothes now...

Ms Li just called, she wants you to go over as soon as possible."

Mountain Eagle looked at himself in the mirror, shaking his head a bit uncomfortably...

After meticulous grooming, the contour of his entire face became more defined, the pomade-styled hair was impeccably neat, and the hairline edges were treated with exceptional clarity.

Mountain Eagle isn't accustomed to his current look; he's unsure if it counts as handsome, but he is certain his haircut looks very expensive because of its meticulous detail handling.

Standing up, he thanked the female assistant, picked up the shirt and suit, then went into the dressing room...

As he emerged after changing, applause could be heard outside...

Apart from stylist Jessica, other women looked at him with sparkling eyes, applauding while circling around him to appraise him.

Mountain Eagle distinctly fits the aesthetic of European and American women...

Tall, strong, sharp facial contours, and most importantly, his suit worth tens of thousands of US dollars, making him appear highly valuable to those in the know.

Stylist Jessica walked around Mountain Eagle once; even her more avant-garde look was somewhat taken aback by Mountain Eagle's seemingly explosive hormones.

The primal aggressiveness exuded from Mountain Eagle isn't something a single suit can cover.

Initially, Jessica intended to align Mountain Eagle with an old money style, but his undeniably aggressive nature had her abandon that idea...

This guy can't instantly transform into a noble, so he can only become a tasteful 'expensive' noble.

Jessica sighed helplessly with a bit of disdain, glanced at her female assistant who seemed overly affected, then bent down to rummage through Daria's boxes, saying, "Help him tidy up, don't use ties or bow ties; a more casual look might suit him better."

Speaking, Jessica glanced at Daria, pointing at a set of exquisite emerald jewelry in the box, saying, "These match the color of your eyes very well…"

Before waiting for Daria to express gratitude, Jessica walked behind Anna, bowed down, looked at the meticulously dressed Anna in the mirror, shook her head and said, "It's hard to tame that guy with makeup and demeanor; looking too refined might make you appear like a doll at his disposal.

We've got some time, let me give you a different hairstyle, are you willing to try short hair?"
