There’s a saying...
"Money is in the air. If you can see the opportunity, you can grab it."
Once you see it, you need the capability to catch it.
Once you catch it, how do you keep it?
Once you keep it,
how do you make it grow?
.
These are the steps most financial planners set out.
But there’s another field —
called “studying the journey of money.”
What is it?
.
I had the chance to talk with “laoshi”
who have spent their lives playing alchemy with monetary units.
The smallest money unit for regular folks like us is satang (cents).
But for this group, the smallest unit is million (Million).
For them, 1 million is equivalent to 1 baht.
Why do these people see money as so small?
.
.
.
Everyone is in international business circles.
All their businesses
are about observing money flows around the world.
Many see it as
just speculation on currency exchange rates.
Some might see it as a normal exchanger.
Some might think
it’s like future speculation.
.
But that’s a very superficial view of this business.
(Though, just this surface-level knowledge can already make some people rich and set for life.)
.
If you know
how many ports there are in the world,
which ports use which protocols,
and how each protocol functions —
you’re on the right track.
.
Money is like an insect.
Study its behavior:
at the beginning of the year, where does it go?
When is its mating season?
When should you catch it to get the highest price?
And how do you catch it?
.
If you can dig deep into its behavior like that,
and set up nets or traps to catch it first,
when the time comes,
it will flow naturally
right into your net.
You gain massive profit
without doing anything.
That’s exactly how this group works.
.
What gets valued as money
is not just coins or banknotes.
It can be debit/credit cards,
gold, bonds, stocks,
or now, even crypto.
.
If you’re in the currency exchange world,
you’ll know what each country uses for exchange,
and you’ll know:
Country A to Country B —
which channels does the money flow through?
.
Black money in Country A
becomes white money in Country B.
.
Or black money in Country A
can get its route changed
to become white money again in Country A.
.
Some might think,
"Wait... isn’t this just money laundering?"
You’d be right to say:
Money laundering is just a subset of this world.
.
The real main core is:
building businesses in each country
so that your money has a legal origin
and can freely move in and out of any country
#without breaking any laws.
.
For example:
A Chinese person wants to bring money into Thailand.
They legally run a casino in China,
but can’t bring money into Thailand
due to foreign exchange quotas,
limited to 50,000 USD (~2 million baht).
How do they transfer it?
.
Chinese investors set up businesses in various countries,
large enough in scale
to allow money flows that can be "trimmed" in the books
to look legitimate.
.
Money from the casino
might not be allowed to exit the home country directly.
But another business,
like logistics,
can freely bring in and out money.
.
When casino money is converted into the logistics business,
it can be moved out.
Then logistics money gets used to buy real estate,
which is later resold.
In the end, casino money turns into real estate sales proceeds —
supported by certain types of companies.
.
Or, you trade stocks in Country A
but face tax,
so you fly to Country B to withdraw tax-free.
.
Running a business in Country C
to get a visa
that helps with certain businesses in Country E.
.
Country F’s government
changes laws to attract foreign investors.
They don’t actually care about business in Country F,
but it makes doing business in Country G easier.
.
These are small examples
of how this group performs monetary alchemy,
attaching money to various businesses,
depending on each country’s politics,
and moving money around magically.
.
If you don’t need to hold money directly in your hand,
just watch where the money flow will go,
then intercept it one step ahead.
Just set up your net.
Then you can work while traveling the world forever.
.
Some people play "white" style,
just floating along with global flows.
.
Some play "gray,"
opening special channels,
pulling money from one country’s system
and cleaning it in another.
.
Some are "black" to the core,
hacking loopholes.
(Imagine a special visa card that lets you spend globally for free.)
.
It’s like we’re watching a finance series.
Except these people don’t need genius brains.
They just study global movements,
let money drift with the tide,
and catch it on the other side of the world,
with more money than before,
without doing anything.
.
If someone can read the world’s moves,
just shifting investment ports around,
even a handful of profits
can sustain them for life.
.
It’s like you fly to another country
with a bag full of cash.
When you arrive,
the money in your bag has somehow increased on its own.
Not just in value,
but in actual amount,
plus some extra privileges —
without doing anything.
.
There are many unwritten global finance rules,
thus many games for players.
Those who know more rules
are the ones money runs toward.
