"No, no, no..." Mr. Yang Er shook his head and interrupted me with a smile: "No, no, I didn't ask that, and I won't pursue that kiss. I am a very strange father. I try not to interfere. Besides, this is America, and this is Las Vegas. Not to mention two girls kissing, even if it is a bear and an owl kissing, no one will be surprised. I just I want to know, is that young and beautiful girl your good friend?"
"Yes." I let go of my worries, but I was even more surprised: "Is there any problem?"
"If I remember correctly, she should be the daughter of Mr. Qiao from China, right." Mr. Yang Er smiled: "I remember seeing her once, but she probably can't remember me."
I was startled for a moment, then relieved. Since Qiao Qiao's father knew Li Wenjing's parents, considering Qiao Qiao's father's status, wealth and power, it is not surprising that he knew Mr. Yang Er.
We chatted casually for a while, he asked me how Yang Wei and I met, and at the same time smiled and invited me to try my luck in the newly opened casino, and even chatted with me about my hobbies for tobacco and tea . But it happens that not a word is said about our business.
What makes me even more weird is... I can clearly feel that he doesn't seem to be playing around the corner... He is so natural, so calm, it's just natural, there is no trace of acting on his whole body!
"Mr. Yang Er." Finally, I couldn't help but speak first: "I think you must know that I came to Las Vegas this time for a business deal. I wonder if I can have some business with your family." Opportunity to coorparate."
"Oh, you are talking about your funds, which need to be circulated in my casino." Mr. Yang Er smiled: "Then, Chen Yang, tell me, how much capital do you need to circulate every year?"
"Now it seems that it is about 100 million U.S. dollars per year." I thought for a while: "Of course, this number may gradually increase."
"One hundred million dollars." Mr. Yang Er smiled. He casually put the cigar in his hand on the ashtray, then sat up, picked up the red wine on the table, poured himself some, and looked at me again: "Have a drink?"
"Okay." I nodded.
He finished pouring the wine, held the wine glass, took a sip, and then said with a smile: "I don't want to hide from you, you make me very difficult. This is why I didn't meet you at the banquet immediately after thinking about it today reason."
I didn't say anything, just quietly waiting for his next words.
"Money laundering business is not a secret." Mr. Yang Er seemed to be thinking, "But there are some potential risks in this business... The biggest key to this business is two words: trust." He seemed to smile : "Traditionally, I don't let a fund into my casino from a source I can't trust. This is to ensure safety and avoid risks."
"I can understand." I sighed, holding the wine glass, and took a big sip.
"At the same time, the commission I draw is not cheap." He said lightly: "I believe that your money is also not easy to come by. Then, your funds are only circulated in my casino, and the commission I will draw is Maybe it will make you feel distressed. But I am not going to lower my price. Even though you are Yang Wei's friend, personal friendship and business are completely different things."
Looking at my slightly frowned brows, Mr. Yang Er smiled again: "However, I talked to you for a while today, I like you very much, you are a nice young man, I think if we meet in the future Too many, maybe we can become friends... But I also want to tell you that even if they are my friends, I will not do business with them rashly. In my mind, everything is very clear. I like simple things...the simpler the better, but if you mix two things up, the simple things become complicated...I don't like that."
"So, you refused, didn't you?" I said slowly, already having the idea of giving up in my heart, and I even got up to leave.
"No, that's not what I meant." Mr. Yang Er laughed again: "Look, I just want to tell you that I won't treat you preferentially because of personal friendship, so when we talk about business, it's best to only Under the scope of business. Do you understand?" He looked at me: "If I turned you down, then I would not invite you here today, I think, your time and mine are equally valuable, isn't it? "
"So what do you mean?" I leaned back on the sofa.
"It's very simple, it's the condition of the exchange." Mr. Yang Er smiled: "For me, I don't care about the commission you can earn from laundering the money for you... I'm sorry, my words may not sound good, But a $100 million a year business with such a low rate of return, I don't need to waste too much resources on it, do I? Feel free, I mean, unless I can get some other benefit from the business …well, something else.”
He seemed to sip his wine casually: "I heard that you own a small part of Mr. Sorin's group?"
My heart moved... Is he also interested in this
But I shook my head immediately: "Sorry, if you are interested in this, I can only tell you with regret that I cannot give up this equity!"
If I give up my equity, I will lose my ally Thorin. Without Thorin as an ally, I cannot completely control the underworld in Vancouver. If I can't control the gangsters in Vancouver, I won't be able to ask the smugglers for money... I'm a fuck!
I refused bluntly. Mr. Yang Er didn't show much surprise, he just said "oh", then he thought for a while and said: "Okay, then I put forward another condition, this is my lowest price, if If you can't accept my offer, then our cooperation can only be cancelled."
"Please tell me."
"Your Huaxing Company." He smiled: "Have you seen the newly opened casino below me? I will give you 1% of the shares in exchange for 15% of your Huaxing Company's shares. If we If the transaction can be made, then your capital transfer problem is not a problem. Your funds can be transferred from the casino, and... you can also save a money laundering commission."
Looking at his charming smile, I suddenly felt a little unfathomable in my heart!
black! Absolutely black!
The current annual net profit of my China Star Company is 100 million US dollars! He wants to take away 15% of the shares, which means I have to give him 15 million US dollars every year!
To be honest, if he just laundered money for me, the commission I would have to pay him would be about 15 million. Because of the rules of the Tao, the commission for money laundering is about 15 percent.
Calculated in this way, although he said that he does not want money laundering commissions...but he can still get 15 million a year! It's just that the money has been changed from a commission to a share dividend in name!
At the same time, it is equivalent to taking away 15% of my company's shares! !
After all, not only did he not lose a penny, but he also dug out part of the ownership of my company!
Of course, the current Huaxing Company is not worth much. The entire Huaxing Company is just an empty shell with little market value. The 15% of the shares he took away seem to be worthless... But...
I have long regarded Huaxing as the start of my career! Although it is not worth much money now, I am confident that under my development, it will become a very profitable and very profitable company!
Is not it? Owning the whole of Vancouver is equivalent to owning the largest port on the west coast of Canada! It is equivalent to controlling most of the smuggling business on the west coast of Canada! ! Huaxing Company is still only making money by "collecting protection fees", but in the near future, it will grow stronger!
Fifteen percent now seems worthless, but in the future... it will be hard to say!
A company that secretly controls the smuggling business along the entire west coast of Canada... Will it be worthless in the future? ? I'm afraid all idiots understand this question!
Mr. Yang Er must have taken a fancy to this point, so he proposed an exchange on this condition!
I sighed: "Your appetite is too great..." I shook my head again and again, looked at him, and said sincerely: "This company is not completely mine, I only own 70%! The rest Thirty percent belong to various... um, shareholders in Vancouver. If I were to give up 15% at once, this number is unacceptable to me."
Mr. Yang Er interrupted me: "Don't forget, young man, you can get 1% of the shares in one of my casinos! And this 1% belongs to you completely." He smiled happily: "Although the casino downstairs has just opened, as you know, this casino will form a certain scale in a short period of time, and... it will be very profitable. Although you only have 1% of the shares, you can earn money every year. The profit dividends you get are not a small number, and this number is enough to make up for your loss in shares."
There is some truth to this. Casinos in Las Vegas, of course, make money! Moreover, I don’t know how many rich people have thought of many ways to enter this market, and now I have entered this market in a short time... Although I only own 1% of a casino... It seems pitiful, but it is not true a chance.
