Chapter 386: Investment or Money Laundering?

Liangzhou China Merchants Bureau.

A group of people stared at Amy Lin's business card, staring wide-eyed.

The governor confessed that he wanted to investigate this company, and these people had a black eye, and they only had the information of this business card in hand.

Someone has already translated the business card, but this Bona investment company in Bali, Indonesia, thousands of miles away from Liangzhou, they don't know where to start.

In this year, the Internet speed is slower than a snail, the Chinese search engine has just been established, the functions are still a war scum, the database is quite imperfect, let alone a foreign company.

The search for domestic companies basically relies on a large book called "telephone yellow pages", a large book with super thickness, small and thin paper, which can carry a lot of company information, because the paper is yellow, and there is the company's contact number on it, so it is named "telephone yellow pages". For example, if you want to check the company in Liangzhou, you have to buy a copy of Liangzhou's "Telephone Yellow Pages".

The telephone yellow pages of Indonesia's eight slang islands, not to mention that Liangzhou does not have them, may not be able to find a few copies in the whole of China.

The people of China Merchants can only use the stupidest method first: "human flesh search". Let everyone mobilize relatives and friends, teachers, classmates and alumni, all who have been to Bali Island, or have been to Indonesia, all inquire about this Bona investment company.

Liao Zhigang did not wait for the results of the investigation, and rushed to Wu'an the next morning. The main purpose of his trip was to meet Li Dongwen and learn about this overseas investment company from the side and what their purpose was. Thousands of miles across the ocean to Haiti to a poor mountainous area in the northwest of China, it is impossible to learn from the thunder (anti-harmony) front, I can't understand the investment intentions, and the state can't report to the top.

After so many years of reform and opening up, in the name of investment, there are many people who launder money and engage in fraud, and the government at all levels cannot guard against it.

Liao Zhigang stayed in the Taohuaxian Hotel, and only then did he inform Hu Chunhai and Wu Deqiang that he had arrived in Wu'an and could invite Boss Li.

Boss Li is also very busy. Last night, I just "renovated" the sewage treatment plant of the farm, and I was very tired, and I just slept a little back.

As soon as Li Dongwen woke up from his sleep, Zhou Daoping came over to report: Governor Liao is here and invites you to lunch.

There were only 5 people at this lunch, Liao Zhigang came with the director of the Liangzhou Investment Promotion Bureau, and Wu An accompanied Wu Deqiang and Hu Chunhai, plus the guest of honor Li Dongwen.

In a private room of the Taohuaxian Hotel, there is a large round table and only 5 people sitting, which is quite relaxed. Liao Zhigang gave up Li Dongwen to his left-hand side, the position of the guest of honor, Li Dongwen's left-hand side was the director of the China Merchants Bureau, and the two people from the state held Li Dongwen in the middle. Liao Zhigang's right-hand side is Wu Deqiang and Hu Chunhai.

Liao Zhigang spoke first: "Today is mainly to thank Boss Li for recommending overseas investment merchants to our Liangzhou, and wish us success in attracting investment." Come, this first glass of wine, we salute Boss Li together. ”

Three rounds of drinking.

Liao Zhigang said: "There are still many good projects in our state, why should this investor invest in highways?"

No, it's the buddy's designation. But Li Dongwen can't say that.

"Doesn't Governor Liao want to repair the road sooner?" Li Dongwen asked rhetorically.

"Of course I thought about it, I dreamed of it. However, this highway is not a high-yield project, so what are investors trying to do? After all, capital is profit-seeking. Liao Zhigang said the question in his heart.

Li Dongwen didn't bother to explain at all, your government has no money to build roads, and it delays our development in Liangzhou, I will help you bring in investment, and you are so suspicious?

"If Governor Liao doesn't think it's appropriate, I can also recommend investors to go somewhere else. Li Dongwen said lightly.

When Liao Zhigang heard this, his heart was furious. Such a large investment, if it is robbed by other places because of his suspicions, he, the governor, will be at the end.

Liao Zhigang hurriedly picked up his wine glass: "Boss Li, what are you talking about, there is nothing wrong with it at all." Come, Boss Li, I'll toast you again. ”

Liao Zhigang originally wanted to find out the details of the investors, but when he saw Li Dongwen's attitude, he couldn't help but ask again.

The banquet soon dispersed, and they all left.

Liao Zhigang returned to the room and called the director of China Merchants in.

"Is there any progress on your investor's investigation?"

"Not yet. However, this Bona company should not be a well-known big company in the local area, we asked some people who have traveled to Bali Island through private channels, and they have never heard of the name of this company. Look, can you find out more through official channels?"

There are many ways to use official channels, but they all need a legitimate reason, such as the police handling the case, involving this company, you can ask the local police to assist in the investigation across the border.

Liao Zhigang thought for a moment and said, "Okay." I asked a friend from the provincial department to contact the relevant departments and ask them to help. ”

The amount of investment attracted was huge, and Liao Zhigang had to be cautious.

Amy Lin is now in a very relaxed state of mind, once she accepts her fate, everything will be done, and she is now in the mood to play, wandering around the Peach Blossom Fairy's farm, feeling new to many things.

Back at the hotel, she also patronized the Peach Blossom Fairy store in the lobby on the first floor and bought a lot of specialties, including two bottles of Peach Blossom Fairy wine, two boxes of red fruits, and more than a dozen silk shawls, each of which she liked very much.

Li Dongwen is not in a hurry now, he is waiting for the attitude of the Liangzhou government.

Three days passed, and Liao Zhigang finally waited for the news from a friend from the provincial department, but the news was not optimistic. The investment company, named PropNex, is registered in the famous Cayman Islands, which is a paradise for shell companies. Moreover, this company was registered only a week ago, and the registered capital is quite a lot, a full 60 million US dollars. As for this general manager, Lin Amy, apparently a temporary Chinese name, there is no way to verify it, unless you see her passport.

When Liao Zhigang learned of this situation, he was more happy and worried. The good news is that this company really has 60 million US dollars, which may not be bad for money; the worry is that this company seems to be specially tailored for Liangzhou, and there must be some purpose in it, but so far it has not been figured out what their purpose is, and the more you look at it, the less it looks like it is here to invest, like it is here to launder money.

Liao Zhigang thought about it, but still didn't want to give up this opportunity, so he instructed China Merchants Bureau to talk to them about the details and find out what kind of routine they were, and what conditions and requirements they had.

As a result, when I talked about the details, I really found a lot of strange problems.
