When Porter heard Charlie's question, he explained," Ten Thousand Armies used to be in the mercenary field, and our biggest competitors were all in the United States. So, we set up an anonymous intelligence trading network in the United States, and theoretically, anyone who feels that they have some kind of valuable information can then submit an application to sell clues and information in this intelligence network of ours."
Charlie asked curiously, "I want to know how exactly this trading network of yours operates?"
Porter continued speaking, "Firstly, we searched for more suitable breakthrough subjects amongst the more elite group in all walks of life in the United States. Such subjects are generally the kind of people who have a greater desire for money or are facing a major problem with their financial situation. They would be bent on making money, and as long as the opportunity presents itself, they would never let it go."
"After finding such a person, we would then contact the other party anonymously in private and tell him that we have such a website that would allow him to sell information without risks and that he would be able to earn a large sum of money easily. Generally speaking, they would always be moved after hearing this."
After saying that, Porter continued explaining, "After h e finds out about this platform, he can then sell any information to us at any time, and if he happens to have a piece of confidential information in hand and h e thinks that this information could be exchanged for money, he could then fill out a sale application form o n our website."
"He should give a brief introduction of the general direction of his intelligence and related information to it in the application. After our reviewers see the application, they would then manually screen it out according to the content that they have filled in."
"If there is no information that is of value to us, we will not reply to it, so that transaction will not be continued."
"However, if the general direction of the intelligence is valuable to us, we will then communicate with the other party directly to consult him for more information."
"After determining that this information is indeed what we need, we will then negotiate a trade price with the other party, and the intelligence will then be conducted online."
Charlie asked again, "How can such a transaction ensure the safety of the other party? I think that he is bound to be taking a lot of risks to be selling confidential information to you."
Porter said, "We use an absolutely anonymous online communication method, and our hacker team will be erasing all of the other party’s relevant information throughout the entire process. No one would be able to find out anything about them.”
"In addition, we do not settle the transaction using cash or remittance either. We only trade with them in other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin.”
"The cryptocurrency is basically a cryptographic string, and this cryptographic string is anonymous. There is no way to check it out, and no one can find out how it circulates."
"So, we just need to give this cryptographic string to him, and he can exchange it for dollars on the trading platform which greatly protects his security."
As Porter spoke of this, he said again, "The reason why this information came to me today is because that pharmaceutical expert felt that the Apothecary Restoration Pill is really popular at the moment and that someone might be willing to buy information related to it. So, this person submitted an application o n the website, and after our people saw it, they immediately reported it to me. In the end, we used half a million dollars worth of cryptocurrency to buy this intelligence from the other party.”
Upon hearing this, Charlie could not help but praise in admiration, "I've always thought that Ten Thousand Armies emphasizes strength and not strategy, but I never would have thought that you guys would pay so much attention to detail.”
Porter hurriedly said, "Mr. Wade, you're thinking too highly of us. We have been running this intelligence network for three years, and the amount of intelligence we have acquired is still very large. However, most of the intelligence is probably not useful to us, and only a small amount of intelligence is truly meaningful and of use."
