"Money laundering" refers to the illegal proceeds from drug crimes, organized crimes of a mafia nature, terrorist crimes, smuggling crimes or other crimes and the proceeds generated therefrom, and using various means to cover up and conceal their origins and nature, making it a formally legitimate act.
Modern laws in various countries have different interpretations of money laundering. The Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices, a relatively authoritative organization for anti-money laundering in financial institutions, describes money laundering from the perspective of financial transactions: criminals and their associates use the financial system to transfer funds from one An account makes a payment or transfer to another account to conceal the true source and beneficial ownership relationship of the money; or uses the fund custody service provided by the financial system to store money." This is commonly known as "money laundering". The term "money laundering" comes from two At the beginning of the 10th century, a restaurant owner in San Francisco, USA, discovered that dirty coins often stained the customers' beautiful gloves, so he put the coins circulating in the hotel into detergent and washed them. This was the original money laundering. Money laundering crimes can be compared with most other crimes. Most criminal symbiosis is the downstream crime of these crimes. From a judicial perspective, money laundering has become a "criminal barrier", which not only hinders judicial activities, but also emboldens criminals to have the confidence to commit crimes. From the perspective of financial management order From a perspective, money laundering activities often rely on legal financial networks to launder large amounts of black money. This not only infringes on the financial management order but also seriously undermines the rules of fair competition and destroys free competition among market economic entities, thus affecting normality and stability. The economic order has brought certain negative impacts. Money laundering usually aims to hide the source of assets.
If Secretary Cheng can rely on his many years of official career to find a way to launder money, then Mr. Cheng Mingyuan will be able to become the Chinese spokesperson for foreign companies and participate in money laundering. He will be the spokesperson for the Secretary¡¯s interests, that is, he will A puppet who helps launder money under the name of a general manager.
Secretary Cheng is well versed in the ways of officialdom. In the first few years of reform and opening up, no one was aware of money laundering. Therefore, many foreign forces came to China to dig for gold under the pretext of investing in and setting up factories, and poured dirty money into the market. At first, it was just I did my business diligently, but as my business grew, I felt that this money laundering method was too inefficient, so it naturally evolved into money laundering where foreign funds were transferred to a Chinese account and then withdrawn. Although money laundering is faster in this way, the interests that are damaged are the interests of the Chinese side. Therefore, the anti-money laundering of China¡¯s financial and securities regulatory authorities is aimed at this. Investing in China, then withdrawing investment after a round, causing damage to the reputation and interests of the Chinese side. As long as the remaining money laundering is left to the profits of the Chinese side, they basically turn a blind eye.
After years of ups and downs in officialdom, Secretary Cheng naturally knows that if you really want to launder money in China, there is no shortcut, you must do it step by step, and if you do it in a hurry, you will have to bear the responsibility for anything that happens. As far as I know, there are very few foreign-funded enterprises in China that are not involved in money laundering, and especially some large consortiums in Europe and the United States basically have fixed money laundering routines. If I If you really get into this business, you must have your own methods, so during this period, Secretary Cheng has been constantly thinking about what to do.
However, after much thought and consideration, the swelling on Mr. Cheng¡¯s double eyelids showed signs of subside in the past two days. Secretary Cheng was just about to reveal his plan. Just in the past two days when Zhang Yaoyang returned to Shenyang, Secretary Cheng was talking to Mr. Cheng. When the young master became famous, he wanted to have a long and frank talk.
Mr. Cheng and Mingyuan rarely saw his father being so formal. The two of them looked like they were having formal negotiations at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Mr. Cheng and Mingyuan were also confused and touched their father's hand on the coffee table. I lit one Double Happiness cigarette and asked, "What's going on? Is it so formal? A father-son tea party?"
Secretary Cheng adjusted his smile, and then said to Young Master Cheng Cheng Mingyuan in a very serious tone, as if he was in a meeting: "I know you may be curious and think what I want to do, but I just want to ask for your opinion. After all, you have grown up and matured now. You have built such a large family business with nothing, but this little family business is not enough. Do you know this? So I want to talk to you. These days I have been I¡¯m thinking, if there was an opportunity to grow and develop now, would you choose it? But it¡¯s just a small risk!¡±
Mr. Cheng Mingyuan took a deep breath from his cigarette, pondered for a moment, and then said to Secretary Cheng: "I have been thinking recently, crisis, crisis, only danger can bring opportunities. Risks are always there, Harbin It¡¯s not like there were no ice drifters hitting people to death in the past. It¡¯s easy to get hit by a drunk driver while crossing the road! I¡¯ve already thought about it now!¡±
Secretary Cheng smiled and nodded, then said: "That's what I think. It's not enough for us to have plastic surgery and a new identity. You alsoYou know that I have never failed in these years except what happened last time! Last time I was a little eager for quick success and I also wanted to have a family fortune for you to inherit! It¡¯s a pity that it backfired! This is what I thought this time. Let¡¯s smuggle to Europe, change our identities and come back. We will have the status of foreigners. With this status of foreign Chinese, we will be considered overseas Chinese. With this halo, we will return to China. Investing in setting up a factory is not only tax-free and tax-free, but there are also further plans! "
Mr. Cheng and Ming Yuan have long wanted to take revenge on everyone, whether it is Zhou Liang in Shenyang or Zhao Erzhu in Harbin. But now he is just a rag king. If he wants to make further progress, it is not easy. , his own strength is just that of the small peasant class of Xiaofu Ze'an. To say that he wants to touch these two people is simply wishful thinking. Not to mention the National Security Agency behind Zhao Erzhu, it is just the power behind Zhou Lianghen. I can't afford to offend a rag king, otherwise I wouldn't have gone through all the trouble to rescue my father and serve as my chief think tank!
After becoming a young master and becoming a famous man, he has gone through these things. He is no longer the good-for-nothing he was back then who only knew how to hide under his father's wings and rely on his father's power to bully men and dominate women. Now after so many experiences, he is now Master Cheng Ming Yuan has long been reborn, especially after becoming the King of Rags, he has become much smarter and more capable. When he heard his father's plan, he immediately made it correspond to his current situation, so he immediately asked Said: "Then if we go to Europe, if we don't have status there, will we be deported back? If we are deported, we will be in big trouble!"
Seeing his son's gradual growth, Secretary Cheng couldn't help but feel comforted, so he said with a smile: "I have a Thai friend named Chachai, who is a good smuggler in Southeast Asia. If we take this opportunity, There should be no problem. My goal is Iceland. That country has been declared bankrupt due to the financial crisis. If we get there at this time, it should be easy to get a local green card and register one there. company, and then hire some local employees. If we come back like this, do you think anyone will know us?"
Cheng Gongzi Cheng Mingyuan knew his father's scheming at this time. If it could be done so easily here, and the Chinese would return to the country to invest, it would be a political achievement in itself, and he had been influenced by it over the years. In order to attract investment, domestic Many places basically exempt foreign companies from donations and taxes, which can save a lot of money!
After all, his father wouldn¡¯t sell him, so Mr. Cheng became famous and Yuan He said naturally: ¡°Then it¡¯s up to you. How can we contact that person and go to Iceland?¡±
The wily Secretary Cheng smiled and said: "In just the past two days, I see that your eyelids have begun to reduce swelling, and I have almost started here. Let's study from Dalian to Guangdong, where we will board the ship, and then It will take about a month to go to Iceland by boat. Once we get there, we will complete the procedures for registering and opening a company, as well as hiring employees, etc. It will take about a week, and then we can take a plane and go directly to Shanghai!"
Cheng Gongzi¡¯s success in becoming famous was still a bit unfounded. After all, the old man who came back and forth couldn¡¯t just go there for the sake of status, so he immediately asked: ¡°Then what kind of company will we do when we come back? Besides, we don¡¯t have much experience. ! In today¡¯s world, you will be compensated for whatever you do. Two days ago, I heard that many manufacturers¡¯ products in Guangdong went bankrupt due to foreign buyers, and a large amount of goods were piled up in the warehouse! "
Secretary Cheng smiled and lit the cigarette and said: "It's still the same business. Of course, it's not about being an official, but about making political achievements. There were some things that you couldn't know before. After all, you were not mature at that time. What I tell you can only be given to others." You are adding trouble, but it is different now. I plan to be a money laundering broker, responsible for money laundering for some small and medium-sized overseas customers. After all, we are the largest money laundering market in the world, although those who are big in money laundering in China have their own We have dedicated channels, but those small and medium-sized customers don¡¯t have access, and laundering money in other countries involves considerable risks!¡±
Cheng Gongzi Cheng Mingyuan obviously did not expect that his father was going to specialize in money laundering for a living. If this is really the case, then this is a crime. However, it is rare to hear of people being sentenced for money laundering crimes in China, and his father also said that China is The world's largest money laundering market, so to speak, means that the vast majority of money laundering is tacitly approved by the court. In other words, this level of crime is not a big deal!
Mr. Cheng Mingyuan looked at his father with doubtful eyes and said, "Then what should we do if we really want to go through trouble?"
Smiling Secretary Cheng put out the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray and said with a smile: "This kind of thing can be big or small. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is worthless. We now have a certain amount of capital."??In addition to the plastic surgery and round trip expenses, I probably have less than two million left in my hand. You also have at least two million in net worth, so that's four million in net worth, right? Then we can open a branch in China. As a Chinese, that is, as a mixture of foreign businessmen and Chinese representatives, then whoever abroad wants to launder money can inject capital into our company. In this way, our company will expand. ? If someone here wants to launder money again, let the first person sell his shares. There should be a formal contract and agreement, and about 15% to 25% of the assets will be left here as compensation. Then the second customer who buys his shares will wait for the third customer to come. Just like this, when our assets gradually increase, we can channel money for our customers on our own, and they don¡¯t need to do this anymore. It¡¯s hard work! Of course, this is just an analogy. This method has been used so badly that it no longer works! "
Mr. Cheng suddenly realized that there could be such a huge benefit. If someone invested 10 million, then at least 1.5 million would be left as a reward. If the company did this, it would only make a profit but not lose any money! This kind of money laundering business is indeed the most profitable. Even small and medium-sized foreign customers cannot come all the way to China and just launder 35,000 yuan, which is not enough for the air ticket!
Having made up his mind, Mr. Cheng immediately said: "Then let's contact Cha Guai now! Then we will study about going to Western Europe!" (Mr. Cheng Mingyuan is simply an uneducated waste. Even Iceland is in Northern Europe. I don¡¯t know, but Secretary Cheng was embarrassed to discourage his son¡¯s enthusiasm, so he didn¡¯t point it out.)
So three days later, the father and son boarded the ship from Dalian, headed all the way to Guangzhou, where they studied the transfer of ships, and then went straight to Iceland. This is a story for another time, so I won¡¯t go into detail yet! Next, let¡¯s talk about our busy man, Lao Han. Lao Han has really been busy in the past few days. The triple bill for a large loft is about to come down. Although the only buyers are Kuang Tianyou and his wife and Xiao Tang, the triple bill is If the initial payment certificate is not kept properly, if there is a slight error, it will be a big trouble. Therefore, Lao Han must be extremely careful and keep the triple-bill documents.
We can't sell these lofts now. After all, house prices have not risen yet. Although we have to pay a winter's burning fee, it is estimated that by the beginning of spring, these houses will be expensive, so Lao Han is also doing research on this. Now, how do you advertise and sell these houses? I believe that if you sell these houses now, you will definitely earn about one-fifth of the net profit. But if you sell them now, it will not be Lao Han¡¯s style. If these houses are fully renovated, If it comes down, it will take at least two months, and if it is not a big cleanup, it is simply laying laminate flooring, then painting the walls with latex paint, and laying ceramic tiles in the toilet and kitchen. If these simple things are all down, two Yue still doesn¡¯t talk much.
Gold, Nine and Silver Ten. By December, it is estimated that it has entered the off-season, but it is estimated that housing prices will still rise by then. I have heard those old agents say that although there are fewer people buying houses in winter, it really happens. Anyone who wants to buy a house is a 100% sincere customer. Otherwise, no one will go out to look at the house when the cold wind is biting and the door is closed due to heavy snow. Therefore, if the customer really comes to look at the house at this time, he is 100% willing to buy it. As long as he grasps it well. Customers and homeowners basically have a relatively high order completion rate.
Another factor is that the increase in migrant workers in cities in recent years has resulted in a large number of second-hand housing agents being non-locals. Therefore, from December to December, when the New Year is approaching, and the benefits at this time are not very good, many people They began to withdraw and go home to celebrate the New Year. Even Wang Baoqiang sang: "If you have money but no money, go home to celebrate the New Year" So if you really have a good house at this time, you don't have to worry about selling it!
However, Lao Han has been working as a second-hand house agent for several months now, and has gradually understood the psychology of some customers. When most customers look at cheap houses, they just want to take advantage of it. After all, Harbin is now the country's highest income city. It is one of the lowest capital cities in the province. If there is no shortage of money, no one will take advantage of it. But the key question is, among the ordinary people living in this city, who is not short of money?
It seems that I have to decorate the house to make it look good. Otherwise, those who like to take advantage of it will never accept it, especially when you enter the house and see the herringbone ceiling on the ceiling and the cement on the wall. It looks like not many people will be willing to take advantage of it, so if you want to sell these houses, the first thing you need to do is simply tidy them up, so that they at least look good!
Here, Lao Han and Li Rui took the same route, they both simply tidied up the house before selling it. However, Li Rui was more experienced and cunning than Lao Han. Li Rui even bought used ones in the second-hand market. The furniture and other things were in harmony with the situation, and it felt like the house had been tidied up before there was time to live in it. As a result, the owner had something to do with money, so he had to fight against the dragon without books.After all, Lao Han doesn't have as many contacts as Li Rui here. He even squats in the second-hand market all day long. Some old furniture and appliances, as long as they are not too shabby, will be dealt with, so Li Rui has been dealing with them in the past few days. Another huge profit, saving some money for myself during the plastic surgery!
And Lao Han also carefully calculated the remaining money on hand, and contacted many migrant workers standing on the streets, and began to busy cleaning up these houses. Now Lao Han has nothing else to worry about. , I am worried about how the heating of these houses is in winter. If the heating is not good, customers can feel the cold in the house when they enter the house. And they can know whether the house is warm or not by placing their hands on the radiator. Warmth, if the house is not warm, then there is no chance, but if the radiator is turned on in every house, it must be checked at least once a day, or if there is a water leak and the downstairs is flooded, the trouble will be big. ¡
