Chapter 6 What should I do when I meet a big fat sheep?

Because the mine manager of Minastak repeatedly demanded that the matter of immigration should not have anything to do with country M, Jia Lei thought about it, so he gave up asking Pete and them to help him, and instead found his personal assistant, Mr. Novan, who was loyal.

"Novan, have you been free lately?" asked Jia Lei as soon as the phone was connected.

"Boss, do you have anything to do? Recently, all the business here in country D is on track, and I can serve you at any time. Novan replied.

"That's good, you give your business to someone else, and then come and do it for me yourself. Jia Lei said.

"What's the matter?" asked Novan .

"I have a friend who wants to immigrate and you need to help him find a suitable country to immigrate to and go through the immigration procedures. Jia Lei said.

"It's easy to immigrate, and most countries have investment immigration policies abroad, as long as your friend has enough financial strength. Of course, even if you don't have enough financial strength, you can sponsor him and let him immigrate in his name. Novan said.

"I won't vouch for anyone, you can go directly to the investment immigration! Anyway, he has money! In fact, this friend and I have a normal relationship, and we have only met a few times. He's actually my client, because the Minastak mine manager will pay us five million dollars for this migration. Jia Lei said.

"Oh, $5 million! That's a lot of business. Novan said happily.

"What kind of big business? There are 17 of them, and the average is less than $300,000 per person. Jia Lei said not very satisfied.

"That's not how the boss counts, no matter how many people we have, we have to hire a lawyer, run to the immigration bureau, and even hire a professional financial planner and accountant, because many places have specific industry ......requirements for investment immigration," Novan explained to Jia Lei.

"What do you mean, the more people there are, the more suitable it is?" Jia Lei asked suspiciously.

"Yes, it is very laborious to assemble a team of professional investment immigration consultants, especially since some professionals have high monthly salaries. It's a waste to serve only one or two people!" Novan said.

"Forget it, I don't understand this anyway, so why don't I introduce you to the mine manager of Minasdaq, and you two can communicate directly. Jia Lei thought for a while and said.

"That's fine!" said Novan .

"By the way, I still have the specific requirements of the Minastak mine manager for immigrants, and I will send them to you later. Jia Lei said.

"Okay, I'll go to the team right away. Novan said.

"By the way, you should first tell me some of the basic requirements for immigrants from outside countries, so that when I meet the mine manager of Minastak, he can make him think that I am personally concerned about this ......matter," Jia Lei said.

"Okay boss, then I'll tell you about some of the more common investment immigration matters......" Novan said.

"Hello Minastak Mine Chief, I didn't bother you today, what's the trouble for you?" Jia Lei asked.

"No! Shelly, they're busy receiving the diamond mines, so they don't have time to pay attention to me for a while. Said the mine manager of Minasdack.

"That's good, I've already called my special assistant in country D to explain your business, and he is working on preparing a professional team of consultants for you in country D. I think it's best for you to communicate with him personally, so that if you have any requests, you can ask him immediately!" Jia Lei said.

"I didn't expect you to move so fast, and it took less than 24 hours to arrange things. The mine manager of Minastak said in surprise.

"It's so difficult, I'm just throwing the problem to my subordinates! How can we who are bosses do everything ourselves, and I don't understand these immigration things. Jia Lei said with a smile.

"I don't understand, that's why I'm here for you! You don't know, a lot of my friends have been trying to emigrate abroad, but most of us have never been abroad, and they can only run around like headless flies. Or am I smart enough to come up with your help in finding a way!" said the Minastak mine manager proudly.

"There's nothing I can do, it's up to the professionals. By the way, I came to you today to talk about the details of immigration. I'm afraid you have to be mentally prepared for this! What I'm going to say next is very important. Jia Lei said.

"What's the trouble?" asked the Minastak mine manager nervously.

But let me make a cursory inquiry, in your current situation, there are only two options: investment immigration and political asylum. I don't know which way you want to choose?" asked Jia Lei.

"Of course, it's investment immigration! I don't want to have anything to do with the Soviet Union in the future. The mine manager of Minastak said immediately.

"Then in the investment immigration, the investment funds and other expenses to be used cannot be included in the 5 million US dollars, those money are only our service fees, and you need to come up with another batch of investment funds. I would like to ask, how much money you have prepared for immigration, or to put it mildly, how much net worth do you have?" Jia Lei asked.

"As long as you can immigrate smoothly, it doesn't matter what the conditions are! In terms of investment amount, it is no problem within 10 million to 20 million US dollars, and I have a special cash account in a Swiss bank that I can use for you. The mine manager of Minastak thought for a moment and said, of course, he still did not say how much money he had.

"Poof!" Jia Lei choked on the coffee in his mouth.

"Twenty million dollars in cash? Ahem! You're really rich! Now it's impossible for even me to come up with so much cash at once! It's so enviable. Jia Lei wiped the corners of his mouth and said enviously.

"I have all the money left over now...... But I could go to jail or even die at any time, what is there to envy?" said the mine manager of Minastak with a wry smile.

"Can I ask a question that isn't very polite?" Jia Lei asked after a moment's hesitation.

"What's the problem?" asked the Minastak mine manager.

"How did you save so much cash when wages were so low in the Soviet Union?" asked Jia Lei, puzzled.

"You must have forgotten about the auction?" asked the Minastak mine manager.

"I haven't forgotten...... I just think that even if there is an auction, you shouldn't have so much money, right? You know, even the core high-ranking officials in the Soviet government probably don't have as much cash as you!" Jia Lei asked his doubts.

"They have a lot of power, but they don't have much access to cash. And most of their assets are within the alliance. But I'm different, all my assets are obtained from diamonds sold to foreign merchants, and everyone uses bearer cash checks at auctions, so I have almost no assets in my hands, all cash. Said the mine manager of Minasdack.

"Since that's the case......" Jia Lei rolled his eyes when he heard this, and immediately thought that the mine manager of Minastak was a big fat sheep.

"Since you're not short of money, why don't I help you allocate some assets abroad? I happen to have an investment bank under my command that specializes in this kind of financial services. Jia Lei said immediately.

In fact, his purse bank called Blackstone Investment Bank was originally only opened to obtain an entry qualification in the financial industry, and there was no other business except registered capital.

"Allocation of assets, investment, these two things don't seem to be in a hurry, I just want to go out and enjoy retirement, I don't want to continue investing or working. The mine manager of Minastak asked puzzled.

He has been a mine manager under the Soviet rationing system all his life, so he is not very clear about the terminology of the financial industry in capitalist countries, and he thinks that this allocation of assets is to invest in industry, buy a house and build a factory.

"How can this not be in a hurry? Think about it, when you go out with a large family, you must at least have a place to live? Then do you have to buy a house? You and your family can't always take the bus when you go out? You must also buy a car! There are housekeepers, servants, cooks, gardeners, and drivers waiting at home...... Wait, you have to prepare all this in advance, right? Otherwise, you don't know the past in a strange place, plus you don't understand the language, how will you live abroad in the future?" Jia Lei asked bewildermently.

"You're so right, I've been caught off guard by the recent political upheaval, and I haven't even thought about these details! If it weren't for you, we'd probably be sleeping on the streets as a family!" said the Minastak mine manager gratefully.

"It's not enough to sleep on the streets, you are sleeping in a hotel at most!" Jia Lei joked.

"Hey! Sure enough, you professionals have to come to us for this kind of thing, and I am the only one in our family who speaks English, and the others can't even understand it! After I go out, I don't know how to live. The mine manager of Minastak sighed.

"You can rest assured that foreign countries, unlike the Soviet Union, are completely money-oriented societies! As long as you have money, everything will come according to your ideas. Jia Lei said with certainty.

"Young Master Jia, I really don't know why you know so much about these things, as far as I know, what you are like now...... It looks like ...... Didn't live the kind of life that suited your identity?" asked the Minastak mine manager, a little puzzled.

As an old fox who has been in the officialdom for decades, the mine manager of Minasdaq immediately doubted Jia Lei's identity after being moved!

"I'm too young to stay in one place! I like to walk around and go on adventures! As for the kind of life I'm talking about, you don't have to doubt it, I'm tired of it! As long as you're willing to spend money, there's absolutely no problem. Jia Lei patted his chest and promised.

In fact, Jia Lei was not tired of living a good life at all, but lost all his money, so he had to come back and continue to make money...... Grace!

I think that Jia Lei followed His Royal Highness Prince Waleed to spend money like running water, but he has seen all the top service models in the world, Jia Lei has eaten pork and seen pigs run away.

Even if Novan can only imitate the world-class top-level service that Jia Lei has enjoyed to one or two points, it is enough to deceive the Minasdack mine manager, a native bun from the Soviet Union, after all, no matter how rich the Minasdack mine manager is, he is just a local tyrant and nouveau riche, far from the real Western high society!

****

After Jia Lei's big blow, the mine manager of Minasdaq hesitated and agreed to a small part of Jia Lei's proposal, and handed over part of his funds to the investment bank under Jia Lei's name to help him handle the investment.

"Novan, you immediately ask Pete to send me a detailed fee schedule from Citibank, and say I'm going to check the accounts. Jia Lei had just come out of the Minastak mine manager's house and called Novan and said.

"But boss, Citibank has a good reputation, they will never embezzle your money! Not to mention that you are still their shareholder!"

"Of course I know that, and I don't really want to check the accounts! I just want to get the detailed price list of Citibank's VIP service, so that I can know how many details they charge for it! And then you take this price list and charge the Minastak mine manager as you like, understand?" Jia Lei explained to Novan.

With their kind of leather bag bank with two or three kittens, they can't get such a professional thing for a while! Jia Lei can only think of a way from himself.

"But these fees don't seem to have anything to do with immigration?" asked Novan puzzled.

"You're stupid! Help the Minastak mine manager immigrate so we can earn a few bucks. However, if we can get him to buy the money in his hands and put it all into our investment bank's fund, we can earn millions or even tens of millions of dollars every year in asset management fees alone, you know? You don't know how much customer service fees and asset management fees I have to pay at Citibank in a year. Jia Lei and Novan complained.

"On Wall Street, asset management for the rich is indeed the most profitable!" Novan nodded in agreement.

It is a pity that the wealthy people in Western countries have long been carved up by the major banks, and the newly established small investment banks like them cannot intervene at all, nor can they be trusted by those old and wealthy customers.

Thanks to the fact that the mine manager of Minasdack, under the influence of socialism for many years, did not trust the bankers in the West, especially the bankers on Wall Street in country M. He only believes that I am also from a socialist country!" Jia Lei discovered for the first time the benefits of being able to speak a common language from the same social system.

Probably this is the same as all kinds of hometown associations in China, which have endured for a long time! Many people always like to be together with their fellow villagers when they go out and go to a strange place.

Jia Lei and Minasdaq mine manager belong to half of the countrymen from socialist countries!

"Novan you immediately go back to country M to recruit a group of professional and financial service talents, preferably those with many years of experience in the industry! Then you must firmly grasp the mine manager of Minastak under the banner of me, who is also from a socialist country! According to my speculation, his net worth will definitely not be less than 100 million US dollars. Jia Lei said.

You know, he's been a mine manager in a diamond mine for 20 years!

"You can rest assured, after last year's wave of unemployment! There are now countless high-end talents who are unemployed on Wall Street, and all of them are experienced and have many years of experience in the industry! I promise that within three days, an experienced investment banking team will be organized for you. Novan said.

"That's good! Jia Lei said. I want to talk about "Rebirth 1990: The Invisible Rich" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
