Blackstone Code

The federal government does not have a dedicated department for registered companies in a pure sense. All company registration activities occur at the Social Services Bureau, the state Department of Social Services, or the federal social services headquarters.

The Federal Social Services Headquarters is not open to the public. To say that its operations are a bit... philistine is that it is not a service department or office facing the public.

To register a company in Bupen, you go to the Bupen Social Services Bureau. If you want to register a higher-level company, you have to go to the local state office or department to register.

This is because the laws of each state are somewhat different, so registered companies are actually divided into upper and lower levels.

Register with the city hall, or register with the state government.

Since the current era is still a long way from informatization, most of the archives are now kept on paper and were originally kept at the registration place.

If there are other departments that need to be called, the copies will usually be given instead of the original...

Therefore, it is not particularly difficult for the Duncan family, who are now willing to spend more money to buy information, to check the actual registration status of several companies.

These companies were soon discovered, and they were all companies with no actual business content.

But you can't say that these companies just didn't do any work at all. They were also engaged in some unremarkable trades before. These trades... seem to have some problems, but these problems are within the scope of federal law. .

For example, they sold a batch of mineral materials at a price significantly lower than the market price or significantly higher than the market price to some overseas companies during a certain period of time.

This was information provided by the tax bureau, and they commissioned someone to check it.

When they saw this technique, everyone understood what the federal capital group was behind it!

Yes, only capitalists, big capitalists, would export resources in this way.

Even after these resources are exported, they will be imported at some opposite prices. It seems like...an extra process, but in fact it avoids many business problems.

Those who can do this are often very powerful capital groups.

If there is anyone in the Federation who is good at mineral resources, then it must be the Ajin family who claim to be descendants of nobles!

In the morning, Mr. Geruno made a judgment after getting first-hand information. He sat in the study and thought about this issue.

They spent some time investigating these matters. Some of them went to do compensatory work, while others moved from the conference hall to Mr. Geruno's study.

He was considering whether to call Mr. Patu and ask him in a friendly manner what he meant!

There is no doubt that Mr. Patu was the one who took action this time, and the other party also left some hints for him. He just didn't quite understand what these hints meant.

Logically speaking, Mr. Patu should not have left such clues, but they were able to trace some information. Is this an oversight or intentional?

This phone call was not easy to make. Mr. Geruno hesitated for a long time before picking up the phone.

"This is Akinle Manor..."

After the transfer, some sounds came back from the receiver, and then Mr. Patu's unique, slightly unpleasant and arrogant tone sounded.

"I didn't expect you to call me at this time. It seems that your situation is much better than what others said."

Mr. Geruno didn't look very good. He didn't like Mr. Patu speaking to him in such a tone.

Over the past many years, Mr. Pattu has respected him very much. Although the Duncan family has not been involved too deeply in mineral resources, everyone knows the strength they possess.

They can easily crush any industry. If you don't want to become a victim, it's best to keep a respectful attitude toward Mr. Geruno.

But now, this awe-inspiring attitude disappeared, which also made Mr. Geruno understand that this phone call may be "heavy."

After a few seconds, he snorted, first expressed his dissatisfaction, and then said, "I'm not discussing this with you. I just want to know, why did you attack my oil field?"

"I?"

"Sneak attack?"

"Stop joking, Geruno, how could I be so bored as to do such a thing?"

"But you said the oil field was attacked, which surprised me a little. It seems like you won't be able to resume work in a short time."

"I heard not long ago that you signed several large orders. This is not good news."

If there were still some doubts before, now the last bit of uncertainty has disappeared. It must be Mr. Patu’s doing.

Mr. Geruno took a deep breath and said, "Make a price. I know those companies are controlled by you. Don't think that we don't have the ability to fight back. It's just that we haven't reached that point yet!"

Compromise and a little deterrence, the current situation is indeed not suitable for force.

Mr. Patu's contemptuous laughter made Mr. Geruno's face darker, but he controlled his emotions well.

He hates Mr. Pattu very much, but he can control this hatred. This is a symbol of maturity.

It's like you know your wife is ugly and stupid, but you still call her "sweetheart" against your will when necessary. People have to learn to grow up!

Mr. Patu smiled, "I don't know what you said, but it's obvious that there are some misunderstandings between us."

"I'm free in the morning. You or you can send someone to my manor and we can have a chat."

Mr. Pattu was afraid that there was a recording device on the other end of the phone. If some negative information came out at this time, it would be a heavy blow to the Akin family.

At least people know that this family does business with "devils" and will treat them as such.

But businessmen's pursuit of profits will not really stop because of public opinion. After thinking about it, Mr. Patu felt that this was a rare opportunity.

He could stab the Duncan family first and then cut off the fattest piece of meat.

Thinking that one of the three major oil fields in the federation is about to fall into his own hands, the Akin family's huge system will become even more complete.

Of course, externally, this oil field will not belong to the Akin family, because they already own one.

Once they own two of the three major oil fields in the federation, as long as the actual owner of the other oil field takes a step back, the Akin family will face antitrust investigations.

Therefore, this oil field will be in the hands of a joint company, and this joint company is some colleagues who have "business dealings" with the Akin family.

Those are those handbag companies. These handbag companies are ultimately controlled by the Akin family through multiple cross-holdings.

But legally speaking, they are all independent individuals, not directly related to the Akin family, and also involve some overseas capital.

These small companies have a long history of operating mineral resources and have good credit records. They jointly took over the oil fields, then grew and expanded, and eventually developed into a multinational company mainly composed of local companies, together with the other two major oil fields. Forming a competitive relationship is much more perfect.

No one is going to target the Akin family's oil business with an antitrust investigation, and they don't need to break their company into pieces.

As for the impact on the overall plan... Mr. Pattu doesn't think it will have any impact on "the plan to kill the Duncan family."

Because this matter was very special, Mr. Geruno went to Mr. Patu's manor in person, and the two met in the study.

If you don't consider that they actually want to kill each other, their behavior after meeting is still very good.

At least he behaved like a gentleman!

After the two sat down separately, Mr. Geruno pointed out the main point directly. He didn't waste much time here.

"Make a price, Patu, we all know what the truth is."

Mr. Patu smiled and neither admitted nor denied. He took out a pure color and lit it. The smoke rolled in his mouth, and the mellow fragrance was unforgettable!

With the upgrading of the industry every moment, the origin of tobacco leaves has now been transferred from Mariro to Nagalir.

Purely natural wild tobacco leaves once filled the minds of some wealthy people in the Federation with questions. Could it be that scientifically grown tobacco leaves are not as good as wild ones?

But as various brainwashing advertisements and claims came out, everyone suddenly felt that the wild ones were indeed good.

In the past two years, as suitable tobacco leaves have begun to be produced, top products have begun to come on the market.

Higher prices, better enjoyment, people who smoke Clover are not burning tobacco leaves, they are burning money!

But... who cares?

"I know things are not going well for you, and I have a friend who is interested in your oil fields."

"If you can transfer the oil fields to him, he will convince those companies to give up pursuing you for breach of contract."

Of course... this is no longer robbery, this is fucking extortion, this is fucking robbery!

Mr. Geruno looked at Mr. Patu and said nothing for a while.

His oil field is worth at least several hundred million, but now, Patu doesn't intend to pay, so he gets it into his own hands.

Unable to vent the raging anger in his body, Mr. Geruno coughed twice and was slightly out of breath.

Seeing that he remained silent, Mr. Patu continued, "My friend said that if he pursues your breach of contract, under the current situation, the federal government will freeze all your property that can be frozen."

"This isn't a multiple choice question, Geruno, we all know that!"

Yes, it is not a multiple-choice question, because Mr. Geruno has no opportunity to choose and no items to choose from.

He had no choice but to agree.

He didn't even get a chance to say a few harsh words, because that was just the way it was.

They can freeze the assets of the defaulting company in accordance with federal law, and then liquidate and auction the assets that can be used as liquidated damages to the plaintiff. They can freeze these assets until they are auctioned!

Once assets are frozen across the board, it means the countdown will accelerate...

After a while, Mr. Geruno's face turned red, and then he asked, "I agree..."
