Chapter 316: They Are All Here for Tourism
"Yes, the BA005 is a private jet White Swan, in fact this is the Concorde B, its engines and trim tanks are modified, the engine efficiency is increased by a quarter, and the fuel load is also increased by three-quarters, so it can achieve intercontinental flight, and it only takes more than 8 hours from the United States to the Republic"
Mary, the reception manager of the VIP hall, nodded with a smile, but after scanning the group of people, she found that there was no Zheng Jianguo, so she didn't respond to Bennibad's question.
However, although Mary adhered to the idea of keeping secret, Adam next to him continued to speak: "In order to reduce weight and increase strength, the main structure of this aircraft has been replaced with titanium alloy, and Kevlar bulletproof materials are also laid on the outside of the fuel tank to increase safety, and the brakes of the tires are also redesigned, this White Swan can buy two Concorde"
"Zheng is really rich, richer than the Ewing family in the grievances of the wealthy family"
Looking at the figure of the plane taxiing outside the window, this thought flashed through Benny's mind, but he didn't expect that when he got this order after four days of busy work, he would also see the amount remitted to the anonymous account: "3.2 billion"
"Really using a lot of money of this magnitude"
Rao learned about Zheng Jianguo's net worth for a few days in a row, and Benny was still a little dazzled by this series of zeros after seeing the specific amount: "This is cash"
"Benny, BOSS commissioned Raymond Accounting to follow up the whole process"
Charlie, who also glanced at the string of zeros, recovered quickly, and the money was still earned through his hands, but at that time it was as high as 4.3 billion funds, but when he remembered the action that was about to start, he was also worried: "It's a short oil contract"
"Short oil contracts?"
Bennebad almost couldn't believe his ears, and after his voice rose by more than a dozen decibels, he found that even Adam, who was drinking coffee next to him, attracted his gaze, but he quickly remembered something and said, "Does he know any news?"
"This matter is still kept secret, but after a while, that is, in half an hour, I will be able to tell you"
Charlie looked at the watch on his wrist and said, Benny subconsciously followed and glanced at his wrist, but quickly made a choice: "No problem, just give money"
"Then sign it. ”
Next to him, Adam, who was taking a sip of coffee, hurriedly put down the cup in his hand and pushed the folder next to him in front of Benny, who looked at the agreement on it and waved to the assistant next to him.
As the two of them looked at it quickly, it was only five minutes later, Benny picked up the pen and signed his name on it to leave his share, and said to Charlie, who was silent next to him, "Can you speak now?"
"A few minutes to go"
Looking at the dozens of people in the brightly lit hall next door, Charlie didn't expect that this unattractive partner of an accounting firm still had this relationship, of course, considering the identity of the other party's Harvard Business School Ph.D. in accounting, it is natural to know some strange people: "Are the people over there reliable?"
"Reliable, unreliable have long been planted in the sea as lotus flowers, these people come from all over the world, they are all here to travel"
Finding that Charlie's expression was a little strange, Benny thought he didn't believe him, so he continued to speak: "If it wasn't for Augustus asking me to come, I would never have trusted your boss so soon, who knows if he is a pawn of the IRS?"
But it's nothing more than a deadline to pay back taxes plus a penalty, but who can get the information on these accounts?"
"Augustus?"
Charlie silently wrote down the name in his mind, he was not an accountant, but he also knew that the IRS's punishment for tax evasion was as Benny said, and after finding evidence, he would first ask for back taxes and fines.
And if you really want to arrest someone, you still have to do it after being rejected, and the purpose of the IRS is to collect taxes to the maximum, and if you don't have money to pay taxes after being warned, it proves that the goal is really out of money, and it's time to arrest people.
However, considering that he is the FBI and is now in Switzerland, a permanently neutral country, Charlie has no law enforcement authority now, and even if he returns to China to report to the IRS, he has to say the legitimacy of the account information on his hands.
But this has to face the question, when did the FBI start to intervene in the tax function of the IRS?
Moreover, the FBI does not have overseas law enforcement powers, which is the right of the CIA.
So he, the FBI, took the risk of being exposed to meddle in the CIA's authority for the sake of the IRS's duties
first remembered that his mission was to ensure that Zheng Jianguo did not have access to the cutting-edge technology of the United States, and then Charlie thought about the consequences of doing so, so he threw this idea out of his mind.
As long as Zheng Jianguo does not steal the cutting-edge technology of the United States, it will not be considered to damage the interests of the United States, not to mention that the current excessively high oil prices are the real culprits that damage the American economy?
"Hi Charlie, it's time"
As Adam's voice came, Charlie also looked back at the watch on his wrist, leaned forward and looked at the traders who had returned to the telephone and sat down, he pushed open the door and walked in, looking at twenty or thirty pairs of dark eyes and said: "Now open a short position and sell oil contracts with 20 times leverage, and start to transfer to margin."
"20x leverage!$64 billion"
Augustus's face flashed in his mind, and Benny wiped the mustache from the corner of his mouth, he had vaguely remembered the few faces he had been in contact with at the last party, but this thought flashed, and the voices in his ears disappeared in an instant, only to find that Charlie had closed the door: "Why don't you watch?"
"Don't look at it now, just wait for the instructions"
Shrugged his shoulders and sat down at his desk, Charlie put his legs on the table and picked up a newspaper to look at it, and when he found that it was Latin, Adam next to him had already turned on the TV and found the financial channel after a few clicks.
At the same time, in the digestive center of Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Zheng Jianguo also left a note and went to the TV at the appointment desk, and changed the channel to the financial channel under the gaze of the little nurse: "These are all deceptive, and there is nothing to watch"
"Hmph, you just want to watch the financial station, are you trading stocks?"
The little nurse's voice was a little high, but Zheng Jianguo didn't hear it, but he looked at the price below the TV host: "The oil contract fell by 18 cents after the market opened, and the anonymous Soviet top brass said that they have expanded their production capacity and strive to increase their production capacity by one-third on the basis of the 5 million tons exported last year, in order to win the reduction in oil exports caused by the turmoil in Ilan."
"That's what Augustus arranged"
Seeing that the market fell by 18 cents at the opening, Zheng Jianguo's mood was still good, falling from $33 67 cents to $33 49 cents, if it was sold at the price of the former, the enlarged 64 billion funds could sell 1.9 billion barrels, and the 1.9 billion barrels alone multiplied by the 18 cents after the fall would be a gain of 342 million
If it is a quarter of the tax rate, you have to take out 80 million to pay taxes, and if it is a one-tenth of the comprehensive tax rate, then it is 34.2 million, and the gap between one in and one out is as high as 50 million.
"It's no wonder that the richer you are, the more you like to evade taxes. ”
This thought flashed in his mind, Zheng Jianguo felt that there was more people around him, and when he didn't want to turn his head to look, he saw Augustus shaking his head with a smile: "You should be in the office at this time."
"Then I'm here now"
Zheng Jianguo raised his eyebrows and looked at the TV, the reason why he cared so much about the trend was that he still couldn't let go of the $3.2 billion he had already received, but considering that the person next to him didn't know how much money he had used, he said: "Now I don't have a mind."
"There might be something wrong with that Charlie, I've already found out that Ulrika is an FBI agent"
Augustus shook the piece of paper in his hand in front of Zheng Jianguo's eyes, then took it back and looked at the latter's suddenly changed face, and then took out a piece of paper from his hand and came to his eyes, only to see the words written on it: "Do you want me to help you do it?"
"There should be someone behind him, right?"
Subconsciously looked around, Zheng Jianguo found that at some point, the little nurse behind the appointment desk was gone, and even the few patients sitting in the seats in the waiting area were gone.
Then after finding that there was no sound, Zheng Jianguo turned around, and saw Augustus take out another piece of paper in his hand: "Of course, once and for all."
"I don't have any human life on my hands, and I don't want to be involved in human life, because I am a doctor, and because I don't think I've ever broken the law, I feel that it's better to keep Charlie by my side, because that can also prove my innocence in disguise."
Frowning and whispering, Zheng Jianguo looked directly at Augustus's cheek, one second, two seconds, three seconds, until a full fifteen seconds passed, I saw him nod and said, "Well, then listen to you, happy cooperation"
"Happy working together!"
I don't know what thoughts the other party was thinking, but Zheng Jianguo breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and didn't want Augustus to take out a gift box from his pocket and hand it to him, and said: "Put on this ring in the future, remember not to lose it."
"Good!"
The probe took the gift box from the other party's hand, Zheng Jianguo opened it and looked at it, from the ring surface, it was no different from his Harvard Medical School ring, and it was put on his finger, looking at it not big or small, but it was just right and smiled: "Then considering that I still have a lot of opportunities for surgery, maybe I will really lose it."
"Then wear the necklace when you have surgery"
Saying it with a straight face again, Augustus looked at the TV again and said, "Let's watch it again at 10:45, it's nothing to see now."
"Okay, then go sit in my office?"
Noting this time in his heart, Zheng Jianguo also sent out an invitation, but Augustus smiled and said: "I still have someone to meet, when you come to the meeting at the end of the month, let's sit down again, and by the way, you should also meet some friends." ”
"That's fine, I'll take you to the elevator."
Raising his hand and pointing to the elevator in the distance, after Zheng Jianguo said it, Augustus did not object, but silently waited until the elevator door before he spoke: "Your phone still can't be used, if you have something urgent, use the phone outside." ”
"Good!"
Zheng Jianguo nodded The elevator door opened, and Augustus walked in with his feet raised, and he frowned as the elevator door closed: "Charlie is really FBI"
Since he found someone with a bugging device at the door with his hair as a marker, Zheng Jianguo found the suspect FBI in the American drama blockbuster in his memory, although in the end the police gave a person from South Vietnam who pretended to be a South Vietnamese person, but did not come up with real evidence.
In particular, when he simply counter-reasoned, he knew that this was nonsense, and that South Vietnam dared to install bugs on people in the United States? In this world, I am afraid that only terrorists dare not use the FBI as dry food on the ground of the United States.
Of course, this refers to the United States in Zheng Jianguo's memory, and after he came to the United States, he found that everyone from the bottom to the top was reflecting on the pain caused by the Vietnam War.
In fact, if we only look at the number of losses, if it were not for the huge family fortune accumulated by the United States in World War II, I am afraid that we would have to learn from the collapse of the Soviet Union In the 20 years from 1955 to 1975, a total of 2.5 million soldiers took turns to fight.
Of these 2.5 million people, more than 58,000 were killed and 300,000 wounded, and in addition to 250 billion yuan of military spending, which is the direct military expenditure from 1955 to 1975, and if you include indirect expenditure, it will be more than 400 billion U.S. dollars.
Referring to the Soviets, which invaded Afghanistan in 1979, the cost of the war announced by the Director-General after the end of the war in Afghanistan was only 46 billion rubles, or about $20 billion.
The United States spent 20 years to defeat 400 billion without breaking the bones, and the Soviet Union took 10 years to defeat 20 billion and everyone stopped doing it.
Of course, it can't be said that the United States is not a, and the pain caused by this war to the American people is still deep enough, so deep that someone wrote a book called Vietnam: An Epic Tragedy, 19451975, which is so popular that it ranks in the top three of the bestseller lists.
In fact, in Zheng Jianguo's view, the reason why the United States does not want to fight is because the outbreak of the fourth Middle East war triggered the first oil crisis.
Originally, when the United States was fighting in Vietnam, it did not forget to intervene in the Middle East and pull a group of younger brothers to vigorously support Israel.
The consequence was that the oil kings did not do it altogether, so they united to form a coalition to raise oil prices, which caused industrial production in the United States to fall by 14 the following year, and the cost of production by 20 to the point that in 1974 the British economy grew at 0.5, the United States at 1.75, and the economy by 3.5.
Just because of this price increase, the oil kings, who had an income of $30 billion in 1973, earned $110 billion in 1974, which completely aroused the attention of the United States to oil.
The economy is not good, and I have just experienced the trauma of war, so the American people at this time are a bit like the "Monroe Doctrine" before 1941 about war, that is, to make money, you can consider it, and it is absolutely impossible to fight a war.
However, the Vietnam War in the United States was not without gains, as far as Zheng Jianguo knew, it was a lot of black technology that changed the war situation in his memory in the Haiwan War, and it was around this time that the project was established, and finally formed a pattern of cross-generational strikes.
But that's the military industry.
As for the external CIA and the internal FBI, in view of the fact that they could not provoke the lessons and concerns of the war, the enthusiasm for work at this time was not high.
Of course, this can also be seen from the complete failure of "Operation Eagle Claw": out of eight helicopters used for desert operations, three could not adapt to the climate and could not fly normally.
It's just that you can't fly, after all, it's normal for the machine to have a temporary malfunction, but when it was time to withdraw from the operation, there was also a collision between a helicopter and a transport plane
This is the elite American GIs?
So for Charlie, an FBI agent, Zheng Jianguo felt that it was better to stay than to kill him, not to mention that he didn't plan to do anything to hurt the United States.
