"Boss, all the donations from the New York City government and the police department have been transferred!"
The 25-meter-long constant-temperature indoor swimming pool in the manor has the water temperature adjusted to the most suitable 27 degrees.
Tang Song swam back and forth in the swimming pool a few times and went ashore wearing a bath towel.
Two young and beautiful maids came forward with towels, one wiped his body and the other blew his hair.
Skye was wearing a white bikini and orange sunglasses. She raised her white wrist to admire the high-end bracelet that Tang Song had given her.
Judging from her smiling face, the kidnapping didn't seem to have much impact on her.
Lai En came to the swimming pool and said to Tang Song while holding a document.
"Boss, here are some documents on fund usage that need your review!"
"I've told you before, you have to handle these things on your own!"
Tang Song took the document casually and flipped through it a few times.
The first is a donation to the New York City government and the New York Police Department.
Donate 20 million to the New York City government and 10 million to the New York Police Department.
The effect of spending this money was that the entire New York City government, including the police department, chose to take a cold approach to the large-scale gunfight that occurred on the day of the kidnapping.
The so-called cold treatment means that no one reports the case and it will not appear in the public eye, so the case file will remain in the corner, gathering dust.
In the East, there is a saying that money makes the devil go round. In the Federation, money can make the devil go round!
Money can make anything possible. This truth is true in China and abroad and has never changed.
As for the news media, $10 million plus a powerful identity is enough to block the news.
For the media that are good at making groundless accusations, public opinion is their weapon and traffic is the money in their pockets.
They don't care about right or wrong, just like the New York Times later caught the little spider and fleeced it, and did whatever they could to smear it.
As for the DC Universe next door, the Daily Bugle even uses Superman as a traffic code.
However, these newspaper reporters and editors may not be afraid of congressmen and the federal president, who dare to use their gossip as jokes!
They are not afraid of superheroes. Justice is always weak, and the public opinion in their hands is enough to crush any vigilante.
However, they were well-informed and did not dare to provoke the new underworld king of New York.
They know that congressmen may talk to them about the law and superheroes may talk to them about justice, but they know that Tang Song will not.
No reporter is so stubborn as to want to reason with a gangster boss and talk about the law!
It is for this reason that even the news about the car accident of the famous Jewish banker, a shareholder of the Osborne Group, was only hastily reported in the corners of many famous newspapers out of fear of someone.
The second financial expenditure is the initial cost of building the dock, which is around 500 million.
The blood god that was destroyed and the abandoned dock that was blown up have now been included in the plan of the New York City government after the governor took office, and they are preparing to approve an ocean-going port.
The construction company of Tang Group, which was recently established, is the builder. As the investor, Tang Group owns 70% of the shares of the wharf.
As for the remaining 30%, naturally it depends on personal opinion!
After all, some necessary exchange of interests is still needed.
Otherwise, even with the support of the Governor of New York State, it will be easier to deal with the King of Hell than the little devils.
Some money still needs to be paid for coffee.
There are as many government offices of all sizes in New York as there are in the government, not to mention a variety of messy protective organizations. If you want to build a project, you must feed them first.
The total cost of managing these people is more than 200 million US dollars.
The estimated investment to build an ocean-going port is at least 3 billion US dollars.
The group allocated 500 million US dollars to the construction company for initial procurement and recruitment costs, and the remaining 2.5 billion.
Lane used part of the terminal's shares and future earnings as collateral and borrowed 4 billion U.S. dollars from six banks, including Wells Fargo, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, and Goldman Sachs.
Of this, 1.5 billion was transferred by Ryan to the group's stock market account on Wall Street, plus the 1.5 billion profit from shorting Stark Industries, a total of 3 billion US dollars.
According to Boss Tang's idea, this money is intended to be used to buy Stark Industries at any time.
After Tony Stark disappeared, someone contacted Boss Tang through Wells Fargo Bank, wanting to sell his shares in Stark Industries.
But later, because Tony Stark returned and Stark Industries' stock soared, the man suddenly regretted it.
However, Tang Song is not worried because the stock price of Stark Industries has not yet reached bottom.
When Tony Stark officially announces his withdrawal from the arms market, it will be a good opportunity for him to enter.
Who would have thought that an arms company would become a giant in the energy industry after transformation.
This is like a cook who doesn't read the recipe but reads the military strategy. Even though no one is optimistic about him, he actually becomes a good general.
To outsiders, this is simply outrageous.
However, taking advantage of the plot, Tang Song is ready to cut a big piece of this big cake that no one knows about.
After all, the energy industry makes much more money than selling arms, otherwise those tycoons with white cloth on their heads wouldn't be throwing money around the world.
However, Stark Industries' clean energy is bound to have a huge impact on the oil industry.
However, given Stark Industries' status in the Federation, even without the inertia of the plot, Tang Song had no doubt that Tony Stark could survive the suppression of these old energy interest groups.
All Boss Tang can do is count the money.
After Lai En's operations, the wharf has not yet been built, but not only has the investment been fully recovered, but a huge profit has also been made. This is the benefit of standing on the right side and having good connections.
… … …
The last big expense was the development of Raccoon Town.
This is the real bulk of the expenditure. The group's appraisers estimate that the initial investment will cost around 3 billion.
The 20,000-acre farm was planned to be a cultural and tourism town, and the cost of purchasing the land alone cost Boss Tang 60 million US dollars.
The design cost of this cultural and tourism town is as high as 100 million yuan.
What gave the designer in charge of the planning a headache was the requirements raised by Boss Tang.
The lakes and rivers around the town have been artificially intervened in the design drawings.
Not only that, Boss Tang, the client, gave the design company a draft, and all the house layouts in the town needed to be completed based on this draft.
The horizontal and vertical axes require very fine details. Of course, if the designers have been to Boss Tang’s cave, they will find that the entire town is an enlarged version of a huge cave altar, a huge soul-gathering magic circle covering an area of 20,000 acres.
And in the very center of the altar, where construction is currently underway, is the underground complex that Tang Song himself named Beehive.
It would probably cost at least tens of billions of US dollars to build the entire cultural and tourism town.
However, because it involves earthwork, labor costs, and some opaque fees, this cultural and tourism town project is also an excellent money laundering project.
More than 40% of Tang Song’s cash flow can be laundered through the construction of this town.
Of course, it is worth mentioning that although it was money laundering, there was a huge amount of tax in the project expenditures marked in the documents.
Paying taxes voluntarily for money laundering would look like a joke in any country.
However, in the federal government, this is completely legal. The IRS will not ask where your money comes from as long as you can pay enough taxes.
Don't worry, they will never expose you to the FBI or CIA.
Of course, the premise is that you don't evade taxes.
The federal tax agencies and laws are the most stringent in the world. They are so powerful that even the Tang and Song dynasties would have a headache if they were targeted by them.
The IRS has even more power in the federal government than the FBI, and no one dares to offend it easily.
As long as someone dares to evade taxes, they can investigate them.
As long as there is suspicion, arrests can be made, and suspicious assets can be frozen without going through the court.
You know, as a capitalist country, the Federation declares that private property is sacred and inviolable!
In the 1930s, Boss Tang’s predecessor, Capone, was a well-known Chicago underground gangster.
Not only did he control a large number of local enterprises, he also had the ability to interfere in government management. Even some congressmen would specifically seek Capone's support. His prestige in the underworld once surpassed that of the former Black Emperor and the current Boss Tang.
Although Capone's annual income could reach hundreds of millions in the 1930s,
But he still felt sorry for his money.
After all, if you pay taxes honestly, half of your income will go into the federal treasury.
The Hoover administration at the time also turned a blind eye to this.
After all, Capone was not a good person. He would kill anyone who dared to stand in his way. Many people in high positions and positions could not escape assassination.
But as Capone became more lawless, he not only equipped his men with powerful firepower, but also carried out many bloody attacks.
This made all the senior officials of the Federation feel that Capone could not be allowed to continue to develop, otherwise the whole society would panic.
Hoover immediately ordered the FBI to conduct a secret investigation to obtain evidence of Capone's crimes and arrest him.
But as the boss of a huge force, Capone also attaches great importance to handling the aftermath.
So after all the efforts, the FBI could not find any evidence of any crime, and the few clues that existed were not enough to convict him.
In the end, this Chicago boss was dramatically thrown into prison for tax evasion and never came out until his death.
Unlike tax agencies in other countries, the IRS is able to collect taxes armed.
The tax officers of the IRS are armed with guns and enforce the law. If the officers ask you to pay taxes, you will try every possible way to escape and not hand them over.
Then maybe they won’t say much to you and just put the gun to your head.
The IRS has more than 110,000 employees across the country.
Moreover, their weapons level is very high. Among federal agencies, if they are ranked according to the level of weapons and equipment.
The highest is the Army, followed by the Navy, and third is the Federal Tax Service.
Their weapons and equipment are similar to those of the army, and they have basically all kinds of weapons, including but not limited to aircraft, tanks, and armored vehicles.
Not only are they fully equipped with weapons, but they also have enormous law enforcement powers.
The IRS has 40,000 dedicated tax auditors.
These people have enormous powers and can freeze anyone's account or property at any time, no matter if you are a civilian or a powerful official!
This is also the reason why Tang Song does not want to offend the IRS.
"Boss, Willy Gambino requests a video call with you!"
After Tang Song signed the Chinese word "read" on the document with a pen, Lai En sorted it out and put it into the file bag.
He took out his notebook and, after getting Tang Song's nod, connected to Willy Gambino's video.
The video was shot next to the outdoor swimming pool of a European-style villa.
The scene was in a mess, and a group of people were busy cleaning up the bodies in the villa.
The floor tiles next to the swimming pool were covered with bloodstains left by the bodies being dragged.
Six or seven Mexicans, all dressed in fancy clothes, were tied up and kneeling by the swimming pool.
Behind each person stands a killer with a gun aimed.
"Boss, these guys are the backbone of the Qatar Group!"
Willy Gambino bowed slightly to Tang Song in the video call, pointed at the Mexican who was kneeling beside the swimming pool and explained.
"Ferdinand, who participated in the kidnapping, is the brother of the head of the Qatari group!"
"The Butcher just interrogated them. The reason they participated in the kidnapping of Miss Skye was because they wanted the two secret powder passages from Mexico to the Federation!"
In the video, a butcher who was passing by with a corpse in one hand stopped when he heard Willy Gambino mention his name.
Just then he saw Tang Song's figure on the computer. He quickly put down the corpse in his hand and saluted towards Tang Song.
Tang Song raised his hand to signal him to continue, and he grabbed the corpse and continued to throw it into the swimming pool.
Seeing this scene, Willy Gambino's eyes shrank, but his face was still full of respect.
"These two drug-related channels were created by Kingpin and a drug tycoon in Mexico. They dug two four-kilometer-long underground tunnels from Mexicali, Mexico to Calexico, the Federation!"
"These two tunnels transport tons of drugs to the Federation every year. They have always been an important source of income for the Kingpin!"
"Later, the Qatari group captured an important subordinate of the seller in a gunfight and found out about the two tunnels!"
"Before, because they were afraid of Jin Bing, they did not attack these two tunnels until recently..."
While saying this, Willy had been carefully observing Tang Song's expression. If Boss Tang showed the slightest interest in the two tunnels, Willy would definitely hand over these two ** tunnels to him.
There is no way. The assassins from the Assassin Brotherhood that Boss Tang sent to help are too powerful.
Although Willy Gambino had been the manager of the Continental Hotel for several years, it was precisely because he had seen many killers and as an expert that he understood the power of the assassins sent by Boss Tang.
"Boss, what should we do with these people?"
Seeing that Boss Tang was obviously not interested in the two tunnels, Willy asked carefully.
Tang Song looked at the people kneeling on the ground in the video, raised his hand slightly, and wrote lightly: "Kill them all!"
Gunshots rang out, and the Mexican drug traffickers in the video were put into hoods and shot. They fell headfirst into the swimming pool, instantly dyeing the clear water red.
… … …
After dealing with the backbone of the Qatar Group, I ended the call with Boss Tang.
Willy picked up a beautifully packaged bottle of tequila on the table by the pool and pulled out the sapphire cork.
Willy picked up the crystal glass beside him and was about to pour himself a glass of wine.
"If I were you, I wouldn't drink this poisoned wine!"
A voice interrupted Willy's actions, and he put down the glass in his hand and looked behind him.
By the swimming pool, the second group of people were being shot. A thin black man with glasses struggled with his upper body and shouted at Willy.
Poisoned wine. Looking at the beautifully packaged tequila in his hand, Willy signaled his men to bring the thin black man with glasses over.
"You said this is poisoned wine?"
Facing Willy's questioning, the black man with glasses struggled to free his hands from being held and straightened his suit and tie.
He extended his hand to Willy very gracefully.
"Let me introduce myself, Gustavo Fring, Yin Landio's enemy. This bottle of poisonous tequila is the gift I gave to Yin Landio. It's a pity that you guys took the lead and did what I wanted to do!"
"Enemy?"
Willy played with the bottle in his hand and looked up and down at the black man in front of him.
It's strange to say, as an Italian, he looked at the black man in front of him and thought that his behavior was quite elegant.
Gustave ignored the black muzzle of the gunman behind him, took out a white handkerchief from the outside pocket of his suit, and wiped his slightly foggy glasses.
“Ten years ago, Yin Landio killed my brother here, and this time I was planning to take revenge.
You helped me solve my enemies, so we can cooperate!"
Cooperation?! Willy sneered: "Now I have you in my hands, what capital do you have to cooperate with me!"
"You are not from the Federation?" Gustav looked at Willy, his expression under his glasses full of certainty:
"If you want to take over Yin Landio's business, you need a partner in the Federation!"
"I have a stable shipping channel in seven states of the federation. I can help you!"
"Not enough!" Willy raised his index finger and shook it, "The conditions you offer are not enough to buy your life!"
Gustav was silent for a moment and glanced at the white gangster who was kneeling on the ground not far away.
"I have two professional *technicians who can purify ** to over 95%. You should know their value!"
The purity was over 95%, and Willy became interested. This purity was much higher than the goods he imported from France.
It is said that the goods were made in a village in the east of *country* and sold to France. By the time they got to him, they were already third-hand and were nearly one-third more expensive than local Italian products.
However, its purity is high, so it has a large market in Italy.
If there are really more than 95% cheap goods.
Willy looked at Gustav, who had a calm expression, frowned, picked up a wine glass from the table beside him, poured a glass of Sapphire Tequila, and handed the glass to Gustav.
"I want to see your sincerity!"
Gustav took the cup without any hesitation and gave Willy an address.
"After I drink it, please send me here. I have arranged for a doctor to wash my stomach there!"
Without waiting for Willy to respond, Gustave drank the tequila in the glass.
… …
In a motel, Gustave Mimihuhu woke up from the operating table and lay on the edge of the bed, retching.
"They left, this is the business card left by the Italian!"
Gustav's right-hand man, a sturdy white man in his sixties, was standing by with a double-barreled shotgun.
Seeing that Gustaf had recovered from his vomiting, he walked up and handed Gustaf a business card.
"Willy Gambino, the Gambino Family, the Italian Mafia!"
After Gustave pondered for a moment, he put the business card into his pocket.
"They took Jesse away!" the white old man said to Gustave.
Gustavo was not surprised at all. He walked to the clothes rack nearby, took down a new suit and put it on.
"Where's Walter?"
"Still the same as always, not very obedient!" The white old man curled his lips.
Gustav adjusted his tie in front of the mirror and said, "Go teach him a lesson, but be careful, we still need him now!"
The white old man nodded in understanding, pushed open the garage door and walked out.
"The Gambino family, Song * Tang, the new underworld emperor?" Thinking of the face in the video he secretly saw, a trace of gloom flashed across Gustav's face.
… … …
In the recreation room of the manor, Lai En was playing billiards with Boss Tang.
While playing basketball, Lai En reported his work to Boss Tang.
After hearing Lane's report about Willy, Tang Song smiled while wiping his pool cue.
"Fuck, we won't do it. Let Willy handle the two tunnels by himself, but he has to hand over 20% of the profits every month!
How about a painter's copy of the Euro? Let Willy sell it through his own channels after it's done! "
“The electric panels have been completed, and in a few days the first batch of finished products will be worth about 50 million euros!
I'll get in touch with Willy right away!"
"Oh, by the way, Frank should have arrived in Japan by now!"
"The flight from San Francisco to Tokyo last night should have arrived!"
Lai En cleared the last black ball and returned with his club.
"Thirty people, Ryan, do you think Frank can give the Hand a surprise?"
Looking at the billiard balls that Lai En had just placed, Tang Song raised the cue, ready to go.
… …
Shizuoka Airport is the closest international airport to Mount Fuji in Japan, only 80 kilometers northeast of Mount Fuji.
This airport is very small, so small that you have to leave your luggage outside the airport and wait until it is your turn to check in before you can take your luggage in.
However, because it is the international airport closest to Mount Fuji, it receives a large number of passengers every year.
Foreigners are also common here.
When Frank walked out of the airport with his luggage, he did not attract much attention. At most, a few enthusiastic private tour guides came up to Frank and promoted their own hot spring pools and beautiful girls.
"I'm in Japan now. When will the things I ordered arrive?"
Africa, Yuri, who was watching two black pearls dancing in a hotel in a small country in South Africa, walked to the window with his mobile phone.
"Right away, I've got someone to pick you up. He'll take you to the warehouse, where you'll find what you want!"
Frank was walking on the road outside the airport, holding his cell phone and carrying a suitcase in one hand. After declining several taxi drivers, a black Honda stopped in front of him.
A young Japanese man with a flat head got off the car.
"Are you Mr. Frank? I'm Takeru Sato, and Mr. Yuri asked me to pick you up!"
