Chapter 53: The Seeds of Doubt (Push up this week, ask for recommendations, ask for collections, all kinds of requests ~Thank you~)

The days fly by, day by day like fine sand that keeps slipping away from your fingertips, and before you can feel its shape, it has been blown away by the wind in the endless air. Graduation season has finally arrived in late spring.

Lin Zitan and Zhang Jing got the admission letter of the university in February and March respectively, Zhang Jing failed to be admitted to NYU even if he applied for astronomy, Lin Zitan had a chance, but he was assigned to the Brooklyn campus, fortunately, their major could be adjusted in the sophomore year, so Lin Zitan actively accepted the offer.

Zhang Jing also thought that staying in New York would be more suitable for him to survive (pickle girl), so he finally chose a private university called Yeshhua, and accidentally entered the business school of someone else's school.

Zhang Jing glanced at the zip code when he was choosing, and thought that NY10033 must not be far from the NY10012 in the city center, but when he actually went to school, he found that the pimple was actually in the northwest of New York City, the Bronz, a predominantly black area, at that time the campus was also quite desolate, the only consolation is that this school is relatively close to the famous Yankee Stadium, and he can directly take people to watch baseball when he picks up girls!

On the day he got the admission letter, Zhang Jing happily decided to hold a celebration party at his home, invited almost all the classmates of the whole grade, and asked every boy to bring a female companion.

After getting the admission letter, the schoolwork became easier, Lin Zitan took some relatively expensive translation documents whenever he had time, in addition to learning about stocks, in addition to making money, he was training his physical fitness day and night.

Since that car accident with Zhang Jing, Lin Zitan has paid special attention to strength and practical training, and has also signed up for a sanda class after class. In order for Lin Zitan's body not to be destroyed before 2013, he must make himself stronger!

Lin Zitan has set up a supplier development team with several foreigners as the main employees through online recruitment, which is responsible for finding suppliers of ingredients and fish at below-market prices, as well as a large farm that provides fresh vegetables.

Zhang Jing did not do nothing as he said, he found a Chinese accountant, and then found an actuary under the recommendation of the accountant. The two first opened a company, independent of Chen Lin and his son's company, so that Lin Zitan and Zhang Jing were responsible for procurement, and Chen Lin and his son were responsible for sales, forming a model of division of labor and cooperation between supply and marketing.

The three young people are all in school, and the infrastructure also needs a period of preparation, so their cooperation in the early stage of development alone has been prepared for more than half a year, and all the projects have been delayed until they graduate from high school.

During this period, there was a small variable on Lin Zitan's side, and Li Manrui didn't know if she heard from Zhang Jing that Lin Zitan wanted to partner with Zhang Jing to do business. But this time, she unusually not only did not nag to stop Lin Zitan, but also offered to provide him with $100,000 as start-up capital.

What's even more strange is that Mike, when he heard Lin Zitan symbolically explain his investment philosophy to Li Manrui, he actually said very arrogantly that he would also support him with 100,000 US dollars. Until Lin Zitan got these two investments, it still felt very unreal!

Among them, what made Lin Zitan most uneasy was Mike's money, he didn't give him a check for the principal of the restaurant directly, but gave him 10 bundles of cash, that's right, Lin Zitan counted carefully, exactly 10 bundles, the face value was 20, one bundle for every 500 sheets, and each bundle was tied with a rubber band.

I thought to myself, shouldn't this TM be neatly stacked like it was on TV, put it in a black lockbox and give it to me? The money that Mike gave him was only wrapped in a black canvas, and if you went out with this bag, no one would see that you were carrying a full 100,000 dollars!

Although he was a little uneasy, because the cooperation had been prepared for too long in the early stage, and Lin Zitan had already increased his position by 5,000 shares of Apple stock in time in order not to let the 150,000 principal drawn out of Starbucks from being idle, and now Apple's rise is just right, it has risen from more than 20 years ago to more than 40 US dollars, and it will definitely continue to rise, he really doesn't want to sell it now.

With the two sums of money from Li Manrui and Mike, he can continue to hold Apple shares, and he will not delay the cooperation with the Chen family father and son at all. It's just that when he took the money and put it in front of Zhang Jing, both of them still hesitated slightly.

"How do I feel that your stepfather is not as simple as it seems?"

"I think so, I doubt ... He's selling grass," Lin Zitan said cautiously.

"Hmmm... I also think that they Italians do a lot of this in New York, but he seems to be better at covering it up than others!" Zhang Jing said thoughtfully.

"Then what should I do, or don't I move this money first?" Lin Zi hesitated for a moment.

"Hey~ Why don't you use it if you have money? Anyway, it has nothing to do with us!" Zhang Jing suddenly smiled lightly.

"But I still have to remind you, in order to prevent him from using us as a tool for him to launder money, and if he gives you money or something in the future, you'd better ask him for a check, or politely refuse!" Zhang Jingxu said with a sense of sincerity.

"How could he always give me money, besides, what does this have to do with money laundering?" Lin Zi was puzzled.

"I also learned from more contact with accountants recently that in the United States, all funds that are not properly taxed are illegal funds, such as the check your mother gave you, which is the legal income of the restaurant, which is clean money after filing taxes, and Mike is likely to be untaxed and illegal income!"

"But... Lin Zitan was a black line after hearing this, no wonder Mike was so generous when he gave it.

"Did he say that you would pay him back when you made money? Will you give him back such bundles of cash when the time comes?" Zhang Jing reminded again.

"Hmm... I see! If I give him a check at that time, his money will be laundered!?" Lin Zitan said thoughtfully.

"Clever, but luckily, we have a lot of cash to spend upfront, so we can help cover up where the money is coming from, so you don't have to worry too much. Zhang Jing saw that Lin Zitan's face was getting more and more gloomy, and hurriedly comforted him.

Lin Zitan used to only know that the cash salary he received when he worked in a restaurant was not legal, because he had no identity and could not file taxes, but he never thought about the ins and outs of such a sum of money as Mike, and was reminded by Zhang Jing, and suddenly felt a cold behind him, MD, this Mike doesn't want to harm him!

The two looked at each other for a while, Lin Zitan planted the seeds of doubt from this day, and he would be especially careful when he contacted Mike in the future.

。。。。。

One weekend in May, Zhang Jing planned a party for almost half a month and finally began, in order to make the party look more classy, Zhang Jing in addition to ordering a few trays of sushi from Li Manrui's restaurant, spreading huge plates on ice, and specially invited a few private chefs to prepare at home, of course, most of them were Western food, because this party invited quite a lot of foreign classmates, in addition to their own class, other men and women of the same grade also came.

Zhang Jing shuttled through the crowd with his blonde girlfriend in his arms, greeting his classmates who had just arrived, and demonic laughter echoed in the courtyard from time to time.
