CHAPTER 398: CHAPTER 379: ARBITRAGE

Mountain Eagle was hanging out with a bunch of people until after dinner, and then watched as these long-distance travelers settled down on his couches and floor before finally having some time to himself.

He placed a piece of beef on the barbecue grill, carefully sprinkled it with salt and black pepper, then flipped the beef attentively while sipping on a beer.

Mr. Poincaré and Sofia appeared behind him at some point...

Seeing Mountain Eagle looking somewhat disenchanted, Mr. Poincaré took a chair, sat upwind to avoid the heat from the grill, and said with a smile, "You seem a bit unhappy..."

Mountain Eagle was startled for a moment, touched his own face, and replied with a smile, "Is it that obvious?"

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle took a sip of his beer and said, "The hardest thing in this world is persuading ’successful people’ to change their habits.

From the perspective of ordinary people, everyone in Arctic Fox is a winner.

I’m not unhappy, nor do I think there’s anything wrong with their choices...

This world is inherently unfair, especially for certain industries!

Arctic Fox is the longest-running mercenary group I know in this industry, yet the people in Arctic Fox are not as wealthy as I imagined...

Of course, it’s unfair to measure a group of excellent soldiers by money alone, after all, top talents trained by major countries can hardly afford houses.

But I still feel some sympathy for them; they could have achieved much more!"

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle looked seriously at Mr. Poincaré and said, "I have a feeling, they are not really dumb; it’s just that someone has set a ceiling for them..."

Mr. Poincaré looked at Mountain Eagle admiringly and nodded, saying, "You’re right, how could the guys from Arctic Fox be fools?

The mercenary business basically has no barriers to entry, but the market is limited.

You can consider the mercenary industry as a service industry, and the scale of the service industry depends on external demand.

Mercenaries are just tools; tools will never make big money because those who issue their tasks won’t allow it!

Would you use the best oil for a rental car?

Would you talk about love with a prostitute and then give her half of your property?

Tools should be aware of their role, so they tend to live their lives intensely!

Arctic Fox is an elite in this industry, but essentially, they are no different.

Even if they are the best in the world of tools, they are still just tools, that’s it!"

As he spoke, Mr. Poincaré watched Mountain Eagle who seemed to be enlightened, and said with a smile, "Give them some time!

I have seen the mutual aid network plan you established with Sofia, which even includes some aspects I don’t quite understand.

I think you’ll succeed, you just need a little more time to change those guys and make them fully trust you.

Now, I do have some questions..."

Mountain Eagle used the tongs to place the grilled beef on a plate, then used a carving knife to slice the beef into strips, walked over with the plate, sat down and began eating while saying, "You want to ask why I’m so sure I can make long-term profits from the financial markets..."

Mr. Poincaré nodded and said, "Although they didn’t say, anyone would have such doubts.

You come off too confident, to the point where it feels unrealistic!

I have the same thoughts...

Of course, I trust your judgment and am impressed that you could get the Federal Reserve’s interest rate schedule through Mori...

But these alone can’t guarantee long-term profits!

High profits always come with high risks, you must have other ways to secure profits, but you haven’t mentioned them, right?"

Mountain Eagle nodded lightly and said, "Actually, you should know, there are indeed no-lose deals in this world.

It’s just that our scale hasn’t reached the safety standards we need, so I’ve been considering establishing another safe currency trading point outside Thailand."

Mr. Poincaré, who was indeed financially savvy, instantly grasped something and curiously said, "Arbitrage trading?"

Mountain Eagle quickly finished the beef, took another sip of beer, and then gave Mr. Poincaré a thumbs-up...

"Currencies are also commodities!

Nearly all major funds seeking stable returns are engaged in arbitrage business.

However, to do this business, you need a stable free currency exchange market.

There aren’t many such markets in the world that meet the conditions and the profit margins aren’t very high, so this business doesn’t attract much attention.

Thailand can barely meet my needs, but the profits from arbitrage trading using Thailand are extremely low.

Even so, by introducing post-rate-cut US dollars or zero-interest euros into Thai banks and stacking it with the depreciation of the Thai Baht, it can still guarantee a return of at least 8%~12% per year.

Moreover, this return is 100% guaranteed and safe!

But Thailand’s government is still strong; they can adjust their financial policies anytime, so to profit in the long term, one needs to find a value depression and establish a safe trading channel...

Then, no brainpower is needed; just follow the dollar’s scythe to safely make enough money through arbitrage trading."

Mr. Poincaré truly understood what Mountain Eagle was talking about, but also knew how difficult it could be...
