OOC: Postdated, as will be all posts from here on. Apologies for the lack of updates.
DAY TWO OVERVIEW: "The Indralan Advantage" (3 July 4385)
As the second day of the IEF 4385 comes to an end, here is a quick re-cap of the events of the day:
In the first session of the day, presenters from KM Financial gave an overview of Indrala's taxation regime. Many international investors were shocked to learn of Indrala's low corporate and personal income tax rates, having traveled from higher-taxing jurisdictions.
In the second session, multiple officials from the Ministry of Trade and Industry as well as a number of Indralan investors discussed barriers to entry for foreign investors in Indrala.
Following the main events, a delegation from Hawu Mumenhes held a separate information session.
In the third and final session, academics and investors from around the world led a discussion regarding the Eastern Development Organization and potential for restarting the ambitious project.
FIRST PERSON, but a few notes:
↳ These scenarios are organic and unplanned. Thus, you can continue them if you want. If there is no response, I will presume that you are not interested (which is completely, 100% fine) and I will discontinue or modify them in such a way as to end the involvement of your characters.
↳ Any response is acceptable, as there is no meta-plan. That being said...
↳ If you are interested but don't know how to respond, or want to plan something out throughly, please message me on Discord or on the forum.
↳ Finally, if you feel so inclined, adding your own, unrelated IC first person story is also completely okay!
1. Ms. Kwan Huiyin, investor (OOC: heir presumptive and de facto leader of the White Tiger Triad gang):
10:23 PM, Hotel Bar, 66th floor, TQ Star Hotel
Seated around the room were several smart couples, a group of wildly dressed Artanian ladies, and gatherings of obviously wealth international investors admiring the Kaizhou skyline from the floor to ceiling windows of the 66th floor hotel bar.
The first day was mostly useless for Huiyin, though she did get a better sense of the people here. Everyone is pretending to be more successful than they are, she thought. This was abundantly clear to her as she sat around with a bunch of supposedly wealth Valruzian businessmen. To Huiyin's disappointment however, what appeared to be diamond jewelry around their wives necks from afar had just been cubic zirconia.
It would have been messy anyway, Huiyin thought, it's much easier to target men. Why men? Men are more emotional than women. Men are grandiose; they are full of ego. And that's all driven by emotion; it's driven by insecurity; it's driven by a feeling of inferiority. As a master con artist, Huiyin knew that if she was going to pull anything off, she'd have to appeal to their emotion. Being young and beautiful, Huiyin never had much trouble with this.
But who here would be the prime target? Obviously it has to be someone with money. With a glass of wine in hand, Huiyin scanned the room. Like a magpie, her eye was drawn directly to something at the end of the bar; a diamond-encrusted watch on the wrist of a Hawu man. Somewhat handsome and dressed in a perfectly tailored suit, Huiyin was relieved. It's always easier when they're not harsh on the eyes, she thought.
She left her wine glass on a table, as she walked to the bar. Taking a seat next to the man, Huiyin took out more than enough cash from her clutch before ordering a bottle of foreign whisky in Luthorian.
"That's a great bottle," the man muttered.
"Do you want to share it with me?"
