Dean smiled and said, “The prerequisite for the right to rule is the disbursement of massive amounts of money. If this money was given to the foreigners, they would make a profit, and if it were given to the locals, they would also make a profit, so why not let our domestic funds come back home?”
“If Jasper intends to go short, you can make money by backhanding long hedges, but it’s not kind to secretly stand on the side of Wall Street to increase their financial strength,” the little prince said.
Dean said gently, “You already said that Jasper’s chances of winning this time is almost zero. In order to prevent us from being discovered, we will be very careful with our actions.”
“All the attention is now on the three trading centers Jasper set up. No one will notice such small details. Even if they notice, so what? We obviously have a way to set up overseas accounts, so everything will be conducted under smoke and mirrors.”
“Since Jasper will be done for anyway, we’re technically not helping the enemy if the funds they have collected go back into our hands.”
“In the future, when Western capital enters the country, such an act can still be regarded as preserving the vitality of domestic capital, isn’t it?”
The little prince laughed and said, “What a noble excuse. You’re making money from your country’s troubles, but you’re making it sound so fancy. I thought only Old Master Hurlbutt would say such things.”
Dean smiled and said, “I just wonder what you think about this, Little Prince.”
“What benefit can I get?” The little prince asked.
“30% of the total revenue.” Dean stretched out three fingers.
“That old fox is so generous.” The little prince sneered.
Dean said warmly, “Just because you won’t do something, it doesn’t mean that others won’t do it. Since the results will be the same, this is a trivial benefit. Don’t you want it?”
