Blackstone Code

"...When (another governor) called me to tell me about this matter, I had already asked someone to ask about it."

"The money has been laundered very cleanly, and there is a possibility of recovering it all..."

Lynch shook his head, "I can't say that I can't get it back at all, but at most I can only get it back 60-70%, or even 50%, or less!"

"It depends on what method they use to launder the money. If they use a simpler method, the amount recovered will be more."

"But this time their methods are very old and complicated, so I don't think they can recover much."

There are many ways to launder money, such as auction money laundering, etc. Those are for people who are prepared to do things that are prepared.

For large-amount cross-border transfers like this, there are still powerful people pursuing the account. If you want to prepare slowly and do money laundering with traces, it basically doesn't make much sense.

The flow of money has traces. No matter what channel the money flows through, as long as you keep an eye on the money, whoever owns it is an accomplice. Some money laundering methods are not easy to use.

Lynch briefly introduced the money laundering method this time, "I checked and found that the money was quickly dispersed into thousands of independent accounts in different regions after jumping through several banks."

"Some of these accounts may have ten thousand to twenty thousand, or twenty to thirty thousand."

"Then the money is quickly disbursed in the form of cash checks, if you can't provide evidence that the merchant receiving the cash checks has a relationship with the money laundering group."

Lynch had a "you should fucking know what I'm talking about" look on his face. "Then you can't get the money back, or even ask them for more evidence!"

This method of money laundering is very old and very practical.

Money laundering groups will register countless accounts all over the world in advance. After large amounts of funds arrive, they will divide the money into thousands of points and transfer them to different accounts.

These accounts have originally handled cash checks. These cash checks will not really be held by thousands of people, but will be concentrated in the hands of some agents.

After they get the news, the money will be used to purchase various commodities with stable value, the most common of which is gold.

It is even possible that money laundering groups are behind these merchants selling gold or valuables.

But it is difficult to find out the connection between them openly and secretly. The advantage of this is that the money is always under control and the risks will be smaller, but the corresponding increase in costs will be more.

The gold will eventually be transported to a certain place for centralized smelting. After all traces are removed, a gold mine will be found and sold to financial groups in the form of legal gold ingots.

The money obtained from selling gold excludes various losses, such as possible losses on registered accounts, losses in various transaction links, and profits that the money laundering group needs to reserve.

There is still 50% left after washing, which is already a very respectable ratio.

The current money laundering group fees in the Federation are basically 55 to 60%. If one million is washed out, just over 400,000 will be left.

It seems unreasonable, but this business is still very popular.

Every day, people turn their illegal income into legal income through private channels, and turn money that cannot be seen into the light into money that can be seen in the light.

Before the money is cleaned, it is not much different from waste paper, but once it is cleaned, it becomes real usable wealth!

Just like the Foxes and their sons, the one or two million in their safe is like waste paper, they dare not spend it, or even say that they have so much money.

Their offices are also in damp basements instead of bright office buildings, just because the money isn't clean enough.

It wasn't until they were washed that the Foxes and his son had a real turning point in their lives.

Listening to what Lynch said, the Governor's heart kept sinking, which meant that he might only have half of his money left.

But half is better than not getting a penny back at all.

"Mr. Lynch, no matter what, please do me this favor. I owe you a favor."

Money, face, a favor, a good deal.

Lynch pretended to be a little embarrassed, but in the end he agreed for the sake of the other governor.

"I will notify the financial security department to intervene. If nothing happens, you will be able to see your money back in your account in up to a week."

"But it's obviously not going to be as big as when it left, so you have to be prepared for that."

The Governor nodded and said that he would go through a process of psychological construction.

After solving this most important matter, the Governor obviously felt a lot more relaxed. Even if he couldn't get it all back, he could only get part of it back, but he had regained his face, and that was enough.

He started talking about other things.

"Mr. Lynch, you are an outstanding economist in the Federation. I believe that your ability and vision in this area are much stronger than that of an old antique like me."

"I have a question to ask. I wonder if you have time to talk to me?"

Lynch made a "please start your expression" gesture to convey this message.

Then the Governor talked about this scammer project of Edward Investment Company!

"The project document for this project is very detailed. It mentions many ways to make money, and every number looks very attractive."

"Honestly, although the scammers are hateful, this project is really good and eye-catching."

"Do you think it's possible?"

"If we have enough funds."

Pengeo's collection is very popular in the federal market environment. Although the price will be very low, federal people are not opposed to buying it.

Besides, for the nobles, this is what they have.

Their ancestors have made their fortunes by plundering for generations. In the process, they have conquered many national powers and gained countless wealth!

Even if it is 100 million, as long as the Governor grits his teeth and takes out part of the collection in the treasure house, he will definitely be able to get 100 million.

What he values ​​​​is the project itself. If the project has the possibility of success, let’s not talk about the financial rewards he will get.

Its political rewards alone can make His Excellency the Governor laugh from his sleep!

Now Pengjiao is full of contradictions and problems, and the royal family's butt has reached the most unstable moment in thousands of years.

No one knows whether they can sit still.

There are already people calling for "the royal family to take a step back." They are positive and effective from Gaevra's reforms, and what achieves this is "the royal family takes a step back."

Some of the radical reformers who have become obsessed with the situation hope that the royal family can retreat and sacrifice themselves in order to rekindle the fire of the empire.

So Pengeo is now a complicated country, and the collision of various ideas not only causes sparks, but also explosions!

The Governor's idea is very simple, firmly grasp the local military and political power, and then expand his influence as much as possible.

If this project can achieve something grand as the liar described it, he is willing to take the money and continue working on it.

Lynch shook his head and gave him a negative answer, "Your Majesty the Governor, the reason why scammers are able to deceive you is because they paint an impossible prospect to attract you."

“This project looks great and has every aspect thought out, but in reality it’s worse than shit.”

Although I'm a bit embarrassed to say that I added many designs, Lynch felt that this was just a piece of shit, so he decorated the shit with a little flowers to make the shit look less unattractive.

The Governor was stunned for a moment. He thought Lynch would say it was difficult or something else, instead of rejecting the entire project.

He frowned. After much deliberation, he couldn't think of any obvious problems with this project, but why was Lynch's attitude so decisive and resolute?

"May I know why?"

Lynch kept smiling, as if he was answering One Plus One, "Because to the south here is the economic and financial center of the federal southern hemisphere, Your Excellency the Governor."

"Commodities from all over the world are gathered there. It is a distribution center for maritime logistics around the world, and it also leverages the Federation's international commercial influence."

"It's never going to be attractive in terms of competition for business sources and customers."

"People would rather go to the New Tricontinental in Nagaril to attend a trade fair that covers most of the world than come here to attend a relatively small and pitiful trade fair."

"Whether we consider any of a series of factors such as political influence, the number of commodity types, coverage, and transportation capabilities, there is no advantage here."

"It's not even close to being an important trading center in Pengeo because it's so close to the south."

The south has become a place where smuggling is rampant, with countless ships traveling between the straits every day.

They spend money to buy goods from Nagaril, and when they return to the country, they can double their profits by just selling them!

Nowadays, many people no longer even farm, but use all their wealth to exchange ships for smuggling. There has even been a situation where a village collectively raised funds for smuggling.

The official also pretends not to see this. After all, there is a serious shortage of domestic materials in Pengjiao. If the people can solve the problem themselves, they can bring some back and sell them in the market. This will help stabilize the people's consumption demands. effect.

Compared to Nagaril, it has cheaper wholesale prices, a more developed logistics system, and a wider variety of products.

There is absolutely no need to compete!

The governor's face turned completely dark now. He thought this was a good project.

But now when he heard Lin Qi say it, he felt that he couldn't think clearly about such a simple thing. He was really not that good at it!
