Chapter 251: 209
After listening to Tang Yi’s advice, Tang Qing’s face showed confusion.
Expand the scope of Plan 6794?
What does that mean?
Why expand it?
How to expand it?
Could it be that Tang Yi wanted to infiltrate all of Thailand’s underworld forces? But there was no need for that unless he was short of money. After all, so many big shots have been harmed, so many new forces, new faces have risen, just like a beacon in the dark. It would be odd if they didn’t attract the attention of others. This was too crazy and too conspicuous, possibly unmanageable in the long run.
Tang Qing quickly voiced his doubt in his heart.
Tang Yi respectfully explained, "Commander, the original purpose of Plan 6794 was to remove the local forces threatening your uncle, and to safeguard his local industries. However, it is currently observed that even if we complete plan 6794, it will only provide rudimentary protection for your uncle. There are still many other threats such as government personnel and economic entities in Thailand. Based on our analysis, the entity snatching Wei Jun’s territory also has a strong motive to directly threaten your uncle."
The more Tang Qing listened, the more he nodded.
Tang Yi was right. Even if Plan 6794 was completed now, it would only resolve the threat from the underworld forces. If the other opponents in Thailand used ’legal’ means to deal with his uncle, such as official powers, he would have no way to respond. He’d even heard that the military force in Thailand was hugely influential. Although he thought that his uncle’s business scale wouldn’t conflict with official powers, this was still considered one source of threat.
If a fierce conflict arose between both parties, he absolutely could not let someone kill his uncle. It was entirely impossible, he hadn’t gone mad, and it would effectively break the rules of the game. If things went that far, his uncle could potentially become everyone’s target while also inciting big trouble for the authorities.
Especially when Tang Qing thought about another matter - his own interest.
Exactly, his own interest.
The purpose of the plan in the past was to ensure his uncle’s safety and maintain his uncle’s interests.
But now, times have changed.
Because of assigning so many soldiers to go there, isn’t their money his own? Once they grew strong, the majority of the money they earned had to be handed over to him.
So... didn’t he also have interests needing protection there?
Even if it was for the protection of his own interests, he felt that Tang Yi was right.
With a decision made, Tang Qing asked seriously, "Tang Yi, what do you think we should do?"
"Commander, my suggestion is to deploy a large number of soldiers and analysts into various power institutions in this country. Our main goal isn’t to control anything, just to serve as an alert during critical moments," Tang Yi replied.
Tang Qing agreed with what he heard. He was not insane enough to consider controlling a whole country, at least not yet. It would suffice for those robots to protect their family’s interests in Thailand, at the very least serving an auxiliary warning function.
Anyway, they had the money now. Worst case they could just inject more money in.
Tang Qing pondered before issuing orders, "Tang Yi, from now on, all operations in Thailand will fall under Plan 6794, we will not create any new program numbers for the region. The core goal of this plan is to protect myself and my family’s interest in Thailand. I will authorize you an upper limit of 500 million RMB, you all should plan accordingly within this limit. I’ll sort out the money when the yen arrives."
To better categorize in the future, merging programs was necessary. Originally, he wanted to give this huge plan a Chinese name, worst case scenario it could be called the Thailand Plan, but that did not sound nice. Numerical representation was better.
Just like that, 500 million RMB was instantly laid out. It’s not that Tang Qing thought it was a small sum, quite the opposite, he felt it was not enough. After all, this plan encompassed all of Thailand, the situation was much more complex than before. He believed that if the Command Room was to start planning, they might need a budget of ten to twenty billion.
"Yes, Commander, what about the force that’s seizing Wei Jun’s territory? Shall we keep it under surveillance or eliminate it?" Tang Yi asked further.
After some thought, Tang Qing replied, "Just keep them under surveillance for now. Dispatch five soldiers there. If it’s confirmed they intend to retaliate against my uncle, deal with them as we did with Ba Song."
Although they had made a sizable illicit fortune today, he wasn’t so hot-headed as to pounce on every ’meal’ he saw, unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Oh right, when will the yen be credited?" Tang Qing asked excitedly. Now that the operation was over, it was time to wait for the yen to be exchanged. Oh my, it was a lot of money.
"Commander, it will take another 30 minutes for all the money to be transferred," Tang Yi said, glancing at the projection.
"Hmm," Tang Qing nodded in satisfaction.
After speaking, Tang Qing requested the information for the Yen account and had it directly bound by the system.
He then anxiously waited in the command room. This money was being transferred from dozens of accounts, not all at the same time, so Tang Qing had already bound the Yen account and began to continuously receive notifications of various transfers.
Listening to the notifications of the transfers, Tang Qing sat in his chair grinning from ear to ear, just like finding money, except that this money was found in hundreds of millions.
Half an hour later, a total of 880 million plus RMB had been deposited into the system, minus a few million for service charges and exchange losses.
However, these were small amounts and Tang Qing didn’t mind.
He then ordered the system to transfer 500 million RMB to Little Two. To avoid confusion between his own available funds and task authorized funds, Tang Qing could directly store these funds with Little Two, or he could choose not to.
Of course, since it’s stored, it can be withdrawn at any time as long as Tang Yi has not spent all of the funds—a very useful functionality.
During the time when Tang Qing was counting money, an extended version of Project No. 6794 had already been developed.
The plan was simple: just limited infiltration into the country’s politics, military, and economy.
The first two were straightforward. Some intelligence analysts were sent to Thailand to infiltrate their government and military, with 50 people assigned to each task. Those who entered government institutions were intelligence analysts. After all, in times of peace, individual combat power is limited, no matter how strong it is.
The economic part was simple. It was mainly about doing business. Tang Qing initially wanted to cut this part of the plan, as it did not have much to do with the main goal of Project No. 6794. He did not come to make money, but later thought that it would be nice to have some business overseas. Otherwise, only underworld forces in the plan can make money, and maintaining operations later would be quite costly. He did not want to subsidize these "burdens".
Now, a complete ecological chain has been formed with a four-corner relationship.
One party strives to make money, while the other three provide protection. With both black and white forces providing protection, this provides him one more income channel, right?
This gives him more confidence.
"Hmm, not bad." Tang Qing looked at the plan with satisfaction.
But it is quite costly.
Fifty people heading to politics, fifty to military, sixty to business, plus forty new analysts just exchanged in the command room—altogether two hundred people. Four hundred million RMB was spent in total, leaving only one hundred million for emergencies. Fortunately, there are still assets and cash worth billions stored in the plan. Otherwise, Tang Qing would surely have to put more money in.
This way is better. He would not need to spend a penny on Thai affairs in the future. Their internal interbank borrowing can keep the operation going.
Still, he feels a bit of loss.
Counting from the start of the plan to now, he has gained 880 million plus in funds. After deducting the five hundred million given to Tang Yi, he was left with 380 million plus. But he had initially invested 250 million RMB in this plan.
So...he made only a profit of 130 million plus, just over a 50% return on investment.
Thinking about this, Tang Qing’s excitement suddenly diminished considerably.
Whatever.
Let’s go study.
It’s good enough to be making money.
So Tang Qing promptly went out to have breakfast, then cheerfully headed off to school humming a tune.
Meanwhile, the underworld forces in Bangkok were in chaos.
