Chapter 181 The Morgan's Move
"What is the analysis saying?" Aubrey, Morgan's Family Head inquired to the slightly trembling presenter who was overly nervous, which was in stark contrast to his confident demeanor during the previous conference where he had given an idea that had earned him praise from Aubrey.
"Why are you quiet? Do you want to piss me off," George, the Family Head's Favorite son asked, confidence evident in his voice and personality since he had been the favorite son after he had been successful in executing the attack on the Rothchilds and inflicting heavy damages on them.
"The thing is, the suspected individual seems to be in the process of dumping billions into the country, pumping the economy with large amounts of dollars in the country and increasing the confidence in investors, reducing the chances of the economy collapsing to a lesser degree than what we had previously calculated," he paused to take a breath as his heart was almost trying to jump from his chest from all the nervousness.
"To what percent does it fall?" George asked, narrowing his eyes.
"It fell from a 96 percent certainty to 34 percent and is still continuously falling. If the trend continues this way, not only will it reduce the bankruptcy chances to zero, the economy itself will start raising and recovering from the damage, which will be quite detrimental to us," explained the man.
"That's not good," one of the board members remarked upon hearing the alarming fall of numbers.
"Anyways, can we stop it from continuing to fall?" asked another board member, his face indicating his reluctance to lose this chance, since he had managed to gather a pretty large chunk of money and planned to double it by buying assets at a cheaper price after the country went bankrupt.
"Well, we could start by pressuring the American government to prevent the company from being allowed to do the complete transfer process, which will force a large chunk of their funds to remain in America and can't be used in the process of helping the Eden's economy. However, that would most likely result in him selling the company and cashing out his money. And even if he doesn't choose that option, it is very unlikely that he will face a money crunch," explained the presenter.
"What do you mean by that?" asked Aubrey even though he had his own suspicions.
"From our investigation in finding out who had taken the second most wins, we have come to the conclusion that he is the most likely winner, coming second behind us," answered the presenter.
"But how did he manage to avoid being discovered by us for such a long time and how did he even know of our plans?" asked George, his face was expressing curiosity, as he was certain that the plan was kept under a high level of secrecy, through which even the moles of the Rothschild Family couldn't get a whiff of, allowing them to be inflicted by such heavy damages.
"Although we don't know exactly how he got to know about it, we suspect that he has a program that, by the fifth minute of the crash, managed to deduce that it was a flash crash and the market was bound to return back to normal when the circuit breaker was activated. He chose to use thousands of burner accounts to massively profit from it, before becoming the second beneficiary of our attack."
The presenter paused for a moment trying to catch a breath before continuing, "As for how the program knew that, the highest likelihood comes from it being a result of machine learning, similar to how they reported his company's AI work. If he can create such a sophisticated program to work on such small devices, what are the chances that he has one that uses his company's data center as its computer for learning and helping him in things like financial speculations? As for how sure we are, we conducted an investigation and found that all of the company's programs both the BugZapper and the GAIA OS, are using Amazon's servers for their online services which leaves behind the two hundred million data centers with no other use for the company other than what we speculated."
When the Morgan's Family Head heard the reasoning, he couldn't help but be convinced. He raised his head, which had been resting on his hand's support under his chin and said, "So what are the other remaining suggestions that can bring back the chances of the country's collapsing economy once again to the ninety percent, other than blocking his company's moving there, as it seems that there is powerful backer helping him with that?" he asked.
"Although we can't block his cash which is entering the country, we can employ a measure that will make others who had brought their money to the country and were planning on investing it to earn massive profits have no choice but withdraw their investments and escape with their cash," the presenter said. This time, his nervousness and worry had completely disappeared and his once lost confidence was regained when he found out that Aubrey and his son didn't choose to punish him for the miscalculations on his previous plan that almost resulted in them losing a fat meat which was almost ready for their eating.
"And what is that plan?" asked George in a tone which indicated that he was now getting annoyed at being put in suspense, which immediately knocked the regained confidence of the presenter off the window, making him realize that he had messed up.
Immediately reflecting on himself, he coughed and said, "Using Esparia as the chess piece for our plan to scare the investors."
"Ooh…. I see where you are going with the idea," George said and added, "Are you planning on making them attack Eden through the borders where both sides have been amassing forces for the past two months?" he asked, speculating what the plans were about.
"Yes, that is the very plan. And since there were already tensions between them due to Esparia blocking access to their ports and confiscating the imports for Eden, it won't be something that no one expected and they won't be suspecting someone else to be behind this either," added the presenter.
"Good good. This will reduce their already lower credit rating in the world and make many people hesitant on lending them money since there is no chance of them being able to pay back. It will also make the hyenas leave the country since they aren't sure of the new forces that have replaced the weak military but still absorbed the former soldiers' ability to win the fight which risks the country falling and them losing their investment. A genius, really genius move," the George said, feeling satisfied with the plan they had come up with.
Aubrey, thinking a little further, asked, "Is this the best plan where we will be benefiting no matter the outcome?"
"Yes sir. If Esparia wins the war and ends up taking over Eden, since we are the ones financing them, we will be the first to choose the spoils of war. And if they end up negotiating a deal, we will delay it as far as possible until all of the money in the country flees while also devaluing the currency for the most benefits," answered the presenter, showing that they really had thought this for much longer.
"Good, then you are heading to Esparia tomorrow and have a meeting with their President. Make sure you return with an agreement from them. Money shouldn't be a problem. Tell him we can arrange clean money for him in an offshore account where he can use it at any moment he wants without having to worry about any of it implicating him negatively," said Aubrey, his tone carrying a hint of satisfaction with the way they had come up which will allow them to, for sure, receive the largest share of the country when everything came to a conclusion.
