Reborn American Giants
Chapter 169 Wealth brings crisis?
After the boring cocktail party in the city hall, Victor parted ways with Speaker Lellanos and rushed to St. Mar's Mission Hospital to visit the injured De Verti, and then rushed back to Fandino.
Tonight, Fandino also had a cocktail party, and the Gref family's agent in the United States, Rondorio, also came over from the United States to attend the family's celebration cocktail party.
Speaking of Rondolio, Victor has not had contact with him yet, but he has only heard from the old man of the Mota family that Dolio is a partner of the Gref family. From the beginning of the establishment of Gref in Sorvino,
When the Greif family was involved, this Italian-American somehow managed to get involved and became the organization's distributor in the United States, responsible for keeping an eye on the sales of the Greif family's goods in various cities on the east coast of the United States.
, and cleaned the cash and sent it back to El Salvador.
Don't think that the money will be available once the goods are sold. You have simply underestimated the ability of the IRS. The IRS was established during the American Civil War. Everyone knows that during the war, military spending was the most important, and the purpose of the IRS is
In order to raise military expenditures, they cannot help but collect taxes from formal industries, and even taxes from informal industries are not spared. Therefore, Americans have a proverb: "Only death and taxes are eternal in this world."
As one of the top five powerful departments in the United States, the IRS has the right to carry out armed taxation. In other words, those tax collectors carry guns to enforce the law. Among American agencies, if ranked according to the level of weapons and equipment, the highest is the Army.
, the second is the navy, and the third is the weapons of the tax bureau. Their weapons and equipment are similar to those of the army, and they basically have all kinds of weapons.
If the tax collectors come to you to collect taxes and you try your best to escape, then they may put a gun to your head and collect taxes from you. The entire IRS has 110,000 employees, 60,000 of whom are employees of various types.
Tax inspectors, these people have great power and can freeze anyone's accounts or property at any time, whether you are a common person or a powerful official.
In American society, people are accustomed to using checks or credit cards for various transactions, and rarely use large amounts of cash. Then, how to deal with the large amounts of cash obtained by criminal organizations has become a big problem. The IRS will
Keeping an eye on cash transactions exceeding $10,000 in major U.S. banks, they are like well-trained hunting dogs and will not let go of any clues.
In the past, American banks were very happy to accept cash transactions regardless of the source of the funds, but this all ended after President Carter signed the "Bank Secrecy Act". This act stipulated that major banks in the United States must report every transaction exceeding one
million dollar transaction.
Drug traffickers were unable to dispose of the large amounts of cash in their hands, so the economic method of money laundering emerged.
The first step in money laundering is called "placement". These money laundering organizations that serve criminal organizations have simply turned this criminal activity into an art. First, they find many workers in cities and towns and send them to the United States to work
It's very simple, just buy a postal money order, each one does not exceed $10,000, so there is no need to report it, no ID is required, and the money order can even be blank before being deposited into a bank account or cashed.
Once these workers buy a large amount of postal money orders, the money laundering organization will package it and send it to Central America, to a sunny, neglected place, Panama, known as the Switzerland of the Caribbean. Because the Panamanian government has no control over
Wire transfers are regulated, making them the perfect place for the second step of money laundering, "layering."
Now the art masters of money laundering are about to appear. The most valuable behind every criminal group are these money launderers. He can launder a large amount of illegal black money, deposit the postal money order into a local bank account in Panama, and then use
Shell companies and limited liability partnerships create an untraceable series of fake purchase orders and transaction reports, erasing the dirty origins of the money.
Rondorio was responsible for this kind of work. He established a huge network of relationships in the United States, and then used this network to clean the organization's funds and then send them back to the country.
Rondorio has never returned to El Salvador since Sorvino's death, but money is still being transferred into the organization's Central American bank account. It seems that he is worried about what will happen to him after Sorvino's death.
What kind of fate would he have, but he didn't dare to betray the Gref family without authorization.
The gang is not the government, and it will not discuss the law with you. Rondorio knows very well that if he chooses to betray the Gref family, an important figure like him who holds a large number of core secrets of the organization will be endlessly hunted. This
The planet is so big that there will be no place for him.
Therefore, Rondorio could only choose to stay in the United States, and then carefully inquire about the situation within the Gref family. After he received the news, Victor did not vigorously purge the old people from the Sorvino era after he came to power, and the family was stable.
After the transfer of power, he knew that it was time to express his attitude, so he took advantage of this Christmas opportunity to rush back to San Salvador.
The two parties met in the study room of the small building. Victor saw in front of him a short, chubby Hispanic man wearing a gray suit, his hair carefully combed back with hair wax, and a beautiful beard. The other party was also using
An inquiring look looked at Victor.
Motta introduced both parties, "Dolio, come, let me introduce you. This is the current top leader of the family, Boss Victor, and this is Dolio, the family's distributor in the United States.
An important partner of the organization is also an old friend of mine, right, old man, it’s been such a long time since I’ve seen you, I thought I’d never see you again in this life, haha,” Mota opened his hands and beat him hard.
He touched Dorio's back twice.
"Yeah, old man, I heard the news about you coming out in the United States. I didn't believe it yet. I thought you would rot in Barrios prison, haha," Dorio mouthed as Mota hugged him.
While talking to each other, his eyes would glance at Victor standing by the desk from time to time.
, from the beginning of their meeting, he has been worried about his final result. Now the money laundering network he owns relies on the Gref family. If he cannot bring benefits to those bribed relationship networks,
Then he will be abandoned by them soon.
"Dolio, right," Victor finally spoke.
"Yes, Mr. Victor... Hello, I heard that you took over as the top leader of the organization. I am also happy in the United States. Under your leadership, the family will definitely have a brighter future," Dorio grabbed
Victor held his right hand tightly and shook it twice. With a passionate smile on his face, he said in a loud voice.
"Just come back," Victor didn't care. He gently held Dorio's shoulders, looking very affectionate. "You have a good rest for a few days and let Motta introduce you to the current development of the organization."
"Ah," Dorio seemed a little at a loss. This was completely different from the situation he had imagined before returning to El Salvador. Victor did not hold him accountable for not showing up when the organization's top leader was replaced, and he also asked about the organization's current situation.
The situation in the United States made what he thought was his greatest reliance useless, and doing so made his heart agitated and he couldn't let go at all.
"Boss Victor, I'm really sorry. When you first took over the family, I was delayed by matters in San Diego and didn't come back in time to congratulate you. I want to ask your forgiveness."
"Oh?" Victor opened his eyes wide and stared at Dolio, looking even more nervous and uneasy, "Is this how you view me? Because you didn't come back, I will accuse you?"
"No, no, this... uh," Dolio seemed a little at a loss for words. He faltered for a long time, and could only turn his eyes for help to Motta, an old black man, hoping that he could take the old friendship into account and pull the brothers together.
Bundle.
"Haha, Dorio, don't look at Boss Victor the same way you look at Sorvino. He and Sorvino are different people," Motta finally came to Dorio's rescue with a smile.
"Yes, yes, boss Victor, I want to apologize to you. I am too mean."
Victor laughed and said: "It doesn't matter, Dolio, you have only been in contact with me for a short time and you don't understand my character. It's not your fault. After we get along with each other for a long time, you will understand. Okay, Mota
Boss, take Dorio down to get ready, and let’s have some fun together tonight.”
"Yes," Mota, the old black man, nodded. He fully understood what Victor meant. He would comfort Rondorio so that he wouldn't have to worry too much about what Victor would do to him.
Victor watched the two people leave. He returned to his desk and sat down, holding in his hand a report from Green Bay Energy Company employees from Grenada. The first log well had produced oil after a month of intense drilling.
People from Phillips Petroleum Company are estimating the oil reserves contained in Golden Bay based on the oil output from well logs. Of course, this is only a rough estimate, and they will have to drill a few more log wells to get more information.
Detailed reserve estimates.
But as long as oil is produced, it means that Victor's investment has not been wasted. Before and after, Victor has invested nearly 70 million US dollars in resource exploration in Golden Bay. Now as soon as the reserve estimate report comes out,
Victor is about to prepare how to deal with those oil companies who are like hungry wolves.
According to the memory of the previous life, the recoverable storage capacity of the oil and gas fields in the entire Golden Bay of Grenada is 14.3 billion barrels. Once discovered, it ranked among the top five offshore oil fields in the world and ranked third, pushing the Menifee Oilfield in the Persian Gulf to fourth.
It also has huge reserves of associated natural gas. Based on the current international oil price of US$30/barrel and natural gas price of US$6.5/mbtu, the entire Golden Gulf oil and gas field is worth about US$500 billion.
Such a huge offshore oil and gas field not only brings huge wealth, but also a huge bomb. If it is not handled well, Victor's current small body will be completely swallowed up by the world's major energy groups.
.
Sometimes, the more wealth, the better. It requires you to have matching strength to possess it. Children holding gold in the busy city will not only attract admiration, but also the coveted eyes and evil eyes of others.
meaning.
Therefore, he needs to leave for the United States immediately, and he also needs Dolio's network.
