After Eva left, Zete helped Yang Meng sort out her clothes while pointing to a bottle of beer on the table to explain the problem to Yang Meng.

"For example, I have 100 million now, but the origin of this 100 million funds is not easy to be checked. What should I do at this time? I bought a case of this beer, which cost $100 a bottle and cost me 1,200 dollars, and I went out there to hype up this case of beer, making up history and allusions for them, and then I sold them to Rui Rui at a high price, and Rui Rui sold them to Sasha at a high price, and Sasha sold them to Sister He at a high price, and Sister He sold them to Ake at a high price, and Ake sold them to Xiao Ou at a high price. It became a million bottles! At this point, we put it up for auction, and I bought it back and paid for it with the money that came from the wrong source. The end result was that the beer was still mine, I spent some fees, and in the end, the money from the wrong sources became art investments and legitimate sources. ”

After hearing this, Yang Meng suddenly realized: "This is the so-called money laundering!"

Zeite nodded: "Yes, at that time, I had a lot of funds that were not coming from the right sources, so I needed to use similar means to make the funds white." You see, in addition to Sotheby's and Christie's, there are so many small auction houses, and behind these small auction houses are generally capital predators. Does it work。。。。。。 ”

After hearing this, Yang Meng sighed: "You guys really know how to play!"

Zete said, "Didn't you have a museum? That's a good idea." Let's say I have 100 million, and this 100 million is not coming from the right way. Then I set up an art investment institution or museum, and then I asked you to join forces to do a game, you have a mosaic mural from the ancient Roman period, worth 1 million, I spent 100 million to buy yours, and we negotiated how to distribute the extra money here, and finally I have an extra mosaic mural in the museum, and my money has become a legitimate investment. ”

"I'm going to remind the lobster, if he dares to play like this, I'll kill him!" Yang Meng said angrily.

"Actually, that's not the best. I didn't run that auction company for the benefit of both buyers and sellers. The two methods mentioned above are too low-level. Zete helped Yang Meng put on the Poirot tie: "Perfect." ”

Yang Meng looked in the mirror and turned around and said, "Handsome。。。。。。 Go on!"

Zete laughed, "For example, I don't know you. You're putting a lot of your money into an artist's work. Turning ill-earned money into a work of art. Then I have an auction company, and I use all kinds of means to hype up the artist's work, so that the price of his work will rise, and you can sell his work at auction or in a gallery at any time, not only to launder the money, but also to make a profit. And you have no connection with my auction company, so people won't find out that you have a problem here, and my auction company also earns fame and commissions. The downside is that the process is relatively long and takes several years. ”

"You see, many artworks are often auctioned for sky-high prices, and the reason is very simple: in order to ensure the maximization of profits, generally speaking, the price must be speculated to more than 100 times the value of the artwork itself! The real price of the artwork itself can be understood as the 'handling fee', just say that the "blackboard", its own price may be 50 million, the rest of the 400 million is a virtual transaction, 50 million needs a real transaction, and the virtual 400 million part is used for money laundering. ”

Yang Meng was dumbfounded when she heard this, and said after a while: "It's really poverty that limits imagination." But wouldn't it be too easy for everyone to get noticed if they did that?"

Zete said: "In fact, the Dongying people set a precedent for this practice: at that time, there was an autumn court consortium in Dongying, and in order to bribe the congressman, they arranged for him to go to a private collector's museum in Europe to buy a famous painting at a super low price of 1 million US dollars, and soon after that, they arranged for the congressman to send the painting to the auction house for auction in the form of 'consignment by unknown collectors', and then the Qiuting consortium auctioned the painting at a price of 20 million US dollars to complete the capital conversion. Later, during the period when the Dongying bubble economy was extinguished, many capitalists transferred their assets abroad by buying and selling a large number of paintings, and many cases of capital flight during that period involved the top management of Dongying. Of course, at that time, the methods were still relatively primitive and easy to detect, and now the methods of art money laundering have begun to be complex and hidden, as I just said, looking for irrelevant third-party auction houses for several years of speculation. ”

Yang Meng snapped his fingers: "I can understand it, this is the form of turning artwork into another currency." The rich people are also a legal money laundering tactic to inflate the price of art!"

"Yes," Zeite said, "what happens if everyone knows that this is money laundering? Actually, it can't be done, because Western law cannot regulate international art speculation." Although there are some measures such as inheritance tax and resale right to suppress the sky-high price of art, the result is not very useful. The European Union has an anti-money laundering law, as long as the price of art exceeds 75 million euros, it will be investigated, traced and recorded. But those who launder money can target abroad rather than Europe. In turn, this reduced the economic wealth brought by the auction of European art. By the way, let me tell you a word, don't be angry. ”

"What?" Yang Meng asked puzzled.

Zete laughed: "Now the people who use art to launder the most money are Han people. Because the Han Kingdom did not include art money laundering in its anti-money laundering policy. So when you see news reports, as long as there are embezzlers, all kinds of art will be found in the house. It's really not that they love the art of being highly literate. In fact, they are all used for money laundering. ”

"Who is so corrupt with high literacy!" Yang Meng burst into a foul mouth: "Are you all ready?"

"I'm waiting for you!" Zeite said, "This auction company usually conducts auctions in the form of charity dinners. So it's better to dress carefully. ”

Yang Meng smiled: "Just go and eat mixed rice! Let's go!"

When he walked out of the room, the rest of the people were chatting with Eva there, and they had been waiting for him at the door for a long time.

"Damn!" Yang Meng burst into a foul mouth: "No wonder Eva recognizes the wrong person, you two are dressed more like bosses than me!"

There are some things that people don't accept, such as dressing up. Yang Meng is not ugly, and her body shape is also very good. But wearing the same Western-style dress on him always feels like there is less 'smell'. Looking at Ake and Xiaoou again, I feel that I was born to wear this kind of clothes!

Looking at Yang Meng, she was a little jealous!

Sasha smiled: "Boss, is it more suitable for you to make a robe and coat for you in the future?"

Yang Meng snapped his fingers after hearing this: "It's decided! Otherwise, I'll be uncomfortable going out with these two guys." ”

"Boss, or we'll go back and change

Clothes?" asked Ake.

Yang Meng covered her face: "You might as well not say this, let's go." Sasha is right, maybe the clothes with distinctive characteristics of the Han Kingdom such as Tang costumes and Hanfu are the clothes that suit me. ”

Eva said on the side: "Mr. Yang, I think you are very handsome dressed like this!"

"Look at my expression, do you believe what you say? People have to be self-aware, don't they? But you look good in your clothes!" Yang Meng said.

Eva wore a large black backless silk gown, which looked very simple, but showed off her good body perfectly.

"Thank you. Eva said, "The charity dinner is held on the fourth floor, and I will take you there." ”

A group of people walked towards the elevator, and a man stood at the elevator door.

This man Yang Meng has the impression that it is the bodyguard he saw when he came and pushed a group of J women out of the room.

Seeing Yang Meng and them coming over, the bodyguard looked Yang Meng and the others up and down: "Han people?"

"Is there a problem?" Yang Meng asked puzzled.

The bodyguard grinned: "My boss is going to take this elevator, you wait here for a while, and you can take it again when he comes out." ”

Eva's face changed after hearing this: "Please don't be unreasonable. ”

The bodyguard smiled contemptuously and stopped directly at the elevator door.

There is only one luxury direct elevator on the 54th floor, which is not accessible to anyone except the residents of the 54th floor.

This is because customers who live on the top floor are generally either rich or expensive, and this is done in order to consider the privacy of these users, and this is generally the case in luxury rooms in luxury hotels.

It's not that this bodyguard doesn't know that the people living on the fifty-fourth floor are all rich people, but it seems that they are from the Han Kingdom?

They all say what kind of master and what kind of subordinate. Although his employer runs a beauty salon, he is a 'white supremacist' at heart. Secretly funding all sorts of messy activities.

His bodyguards have served their masters for so long, and they are naturally contaminated with the problems of their employers. He was waiting for the elevator for his employer here, and when he heard Yang Meng, they were going to get on the elevator first?

After hearing Eva's words, the bodyguard moved to block the elevator door: "I said, wait for my employer to get on the elevator first!"

Xiao Ou looked at Yang Meng, and Yang Meng nodded. Then Xiao Ou nibbled on an apple and walked directly to the bodyguard.

"Yell. The bodyguard looked at Xiao Ou, this bodyguard can be one meter nine tall. And Xiao Ou is also in his early seventies. He looked down at Xiao Ou, "You Han people should go play table tennis, you little man still want to do it with me?" stay away, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind!"

Xiao Ou smiled slightly, and suddenly hit the bodyguard in the stomach with a heavy punch, and the bodyguard opened his mouth and was about to shout, but Xiao Ou easily stuffed the half of the apple in his hand into his mouth. Help him slowly sit down against the wall. Then open the elevator door: "Let's go!"

Eva looked shocked: "This 。。。。。。 ”

But Yang Meng and the others walked into the elevator as if they hadn't seen anything, Yang Meng waved his hand at Eva and said, "Eva, hurry up, I'm hungry!"

"Oooh oh. Eva hurried into the elevator.

Are doctors so horizontal these days?
