Chapter 902
“Well… our philosophy is that the client comes first. The client is king.” Especially a client of that magnitude. James was just stating the facts. “What if I offer you an equity stake in my next major financial move?
That syndicate is an internationally recognized plague. They’re going to be eradicated eventually, and you know it p>
Mira raised the stakes, trying to sway him.
“Let me think about it, my dear Mira. I need to consult with the other board members p>
“He’s tempted,” Owen whispered.
Even though James hadn’t agreed immediately, he was definitely hooked.
“I completely understand. We’ll talk soon,” Mira replied before hanging up.
“If they agree, how much are you planning to compensate their bank?” Owen asked.
“Don’t worry, we won’t have to pay out of our own pockets. Dismantling that syndicate is going to yield an unfathomable amount of seized assets.
We’ll just cut them in on the spoils p>
That organization had spent years operating in the black market; the wealth they hoarded had to be astronomical.
“But that all hinges on successfully destroying them. What if we commit resources and fail?
How much influence does James actually wield in this situation? Is bringing them in even worth the cost?
We need to calculate the risks beforehand and draft a clear set of terms with them,” Owen pointed out thoughtfully.
Mira nodded. “Do you think they can pull off a total economic blockade p>
“They should be able to. Those criminals deal in off-the-books enterprises, which ans they prefer moving money through offshore foreign banks.
My point is, if we’re using them, we have to demand a complete financial chokehold on the syndicate. Only then do we guarantee compensation p>
The required payout wouldn’t be cheap. If the government forces failed to confiscate the syndicate’s assets, the financial burden would fall entirely on Mira and Owen.
The two of them drafted a meticulous proposal, sent it to James, and waited for his response.
Just as they were getting ready to turn in for the night, Owen remembered something and glanced over at her. “What was that new financial move you mentioned earlier p>
“The conglomerates over in the Javenaire Federation are planning to short the Southeast Asian markets to alleviate the pressure of their own financial crisis I heard whispers heard whispers about it when we were on Wall Street p>
Mira lied without batting an eye. In reality, the information came from the memories of her past life.
Back then, the Southeast Asian economies were utterly decimated, and the financial carnage had dominated the global news cycle for months.
Owen’s eyes widened in shock. Those Wall Street wolves were absolute psychopaths perfectly willing to export their own economie collapse onto other nations to save their own skins.
“Is the intel solid p>
“Whether it’s solid or not, look at the current financial landscape. What other strategy would they use?
Thankfully, they aren’t targeting Mavaria, so we don’t have to intervene directly.” “So you want to ride their coattails and make a killing p>
“No, the exact opposite.
We’re going to take the other side of the trade and short them, just like last time p>
“But our capital pool isn’t large enough to sway the broader market p>
“That’s why we’re roping James’s consortium in. Plus, do you really think the foreign governments are just going to roll over and do nothing p>
In her previous life, the initial predatory strike had failed.
Just as the Siamese Baht teetered on the edge of total collapse, the government of Siam injected billions of dollars into the marker to stabilize the currency.
Central banks jacked up interest rates and completely shut down foreign exchange derivatives.
Other Southeast Asian nations swiftly adopted similar defensive measures.
As a result, the Western conglomerates’ first wave of attacks was violently repelled.
“We’re going to exploit that exact window and make a fortune p>
“From what I know, those Southeast Asian nations rely heavily on foreign capital to prop up their lower-end industries.
Those extreme governmental measures will trigger a domino effect. The immediate consequence will be massive capital flight.
It’ll completely annihilate their two core pillars: manufacturing and real estate.
In the end, the markets will still crash p>
“Your analysis is spot-on,” Mira smiled. “But profiting off the first wave is all we need p>
