Chapter 116: Economic Crimes

Mo Fan's eyes looked at Zhang Qian keenly.

She also looked at Mo Fan, and when she saw that Mo Fan seemed to be able to quickly turn her head, she took a notebook and gave it to Zhao Jiyang and Meng Xi, and the two of them drew a tick on it and signed in on the card.

"Your boyfriend also works here?" asked Zhang Qian in a low voice.

"Hmm. Zhao Jiyang nodded and replied: "In the pearl farming company." ”

After the personnel were assembled, Zhang Qian said a few words to the leader of the other group and set off for the small pier.

There are more than 10 square kilometers of coconut groves on the island, and the group's business has not yet fully operated, and their future employees of the headquarters cannot play on the island.

Mo Fan pointed to the house not far away, asked the driver to go over, put down the fruit and tour the village.

……

The Tuamotu archipelago consists of 71 coral atolls and 5 coral islands.

Administratively, it refers to 69 of these atolls. The archipelago is self-governing and has 16 communes under its umbrella. The archipelago is the largest coral atoll in the world, with an area about the size of Western Europe. With a land area of nearly 900 square kilometers, it has a permanent population of less than 20,000 and about 13,000 local residents. are more scattered in their lives......

Tikhao Atoll belongs to Lunjira Commune, Tikhao Village, also known as Tikhao Community, is now the headquarters of Star Ocean Group, all of which are still the original facilities, relatively simple, but the facilities that should be basically there. There were docks, airports, community offices were converted into temporary headquarters of the group, and the post office in the village was taken over by the group and completely privatized.

Turn a C-shaped dirt road along the dirt road to the airport.

Tikhau Airport, formerly owned by Air Tahiti, is also privately owned, with rudimentary facilities, no control towers and no runway lighting, and only minimal service.

Previously, the airport had daily regular flights to Tahiti (Tahiti), Lunjira Atoll and Manish Atoll. Now, because of the autonomy of the archipelago, there are a series of knock-on effects, most notably the reduction in the number of flights to the Tua Islands by Air Tahiti. Getting around the Tikchau Atoll is also not convenient......

After turning around along the village road, Mo Fan came to the office of the hotel headquarters, and wanted to go in and was stopped by the security guard: "Who are you looking for?"

"Kane. "In the entire hotel group headquarters, there are only a dozen people who know Mo Fan.

It's normal for the security guard not to know Mo Fan.

"Mr. Kane had been here early in the morning and had gone out again. ”

Mo Fan was about to call Kane when a man who knew Mo Fan trotted over, he was one of Kane's assistants and had seen Mo Fan a few times.

"Mr. Mo Fan, please. The person who came saluted Mo Fan, and the gesture of respectful invitation made the security guard different.

"Where's Kane?"

"Lunjira Atoll. Mr. Kane travelled to the Lunjira Atoll for a meeting on behalf of the new Tikhao community. Today, representatives of the 16 communes are in Lunjira Atoll to discuss the future development of the archipelago and the development of a sustainable development system for the protection of the atoll. ”

Mo Fan went to the company to learn about the company's operation and the construction progress of Xinghai Hotel.

In addition to the expenditure on the construction of the Xinghai Hotel, the company is operating at a loss, and in the past few months, the hotel group has lost nearly one million US dollars per month.

Pearl Beach Hotel, Pearl Beach Resort, Eden Resort, the occupancy rate is pitifully low. The main income is coconut and pearl farming.

The group is also responsible for overseeing the finances of Macatea and Mataiwa Atoll, which are personal assets of Mofan, and in addition to the construction expenses, they have been profitable. Makataa has farms, orchards, skilled port staff, and regular maintenance of several luxury yachts. The main income of Mataiwa Atoll is coconut......

The price of coconuts is cheap, in exchange for 2 yuan a piece, these coconuts are mainly used to squeeze coconut oil. It's cheap, and it can't hold up more coconuts on the island.

Coconut trees bloom and bear fruit all year round, and they keep blooming and bearing fruit. The main income of the original inhabitants of Mataiva Atoll was coconuts. There are thousands of acres of coconut groves in Mataiwa Atoll, all of which are managed coconut groves......

The two islands, excluding expenses, have a net profit of less than $100,000 a month.

Looking at the company's accounts and the group's future development strategy, Mo Fan went to Tak Company. This company is mainly engaged in the cultivation and sale of pearls...... There are two pearl sales points on the island, one next to the Pearl Beach Resort and one at the three-way junction from the airport to the village and the marina.

The company currently has 57 employees, 43 pearl farming and harvesting personnel, and the rest are sales personnel.

The black lipped mussels in Tahiti are very expensive, and pearl diving is a technical job, and they only dive pearls and do not kill pearls. The shells of the pearls are harvested and put back into the sea to continue to raise new pearls. In the case of pearl farming, at least 1,500 pearls are taken out every day, and only 100 pearls are kept for sale after selection, and the rest are sold at wholesale prices.

The pearls that are sold are not good, and the price is from a few dollars to dozens of dollars. The pearls left behind are of slightly higher quality and can be sold on their own, starting at least $100.

Depending on the scale of the Tikhao Atoll, year-round harvesting is guaranteed five days a week. It is Mo Fan's most profitable industry in Tahiti......

Previously, Professor Matt was on Pearl Island in order to further optimize the pearl farming program.

At noon, Mo Fan had a staff meal, and Alex accompanied Mo Fan to the headquarters of Tak Company. Tak's headquarters are also in the village, and employees are sorting pearls......

"Mr. Mo Fan, why are you here?" Seeing that Mo Fan was a little flustered, the general manager of the company, Luo Tuoluwa, hurriedly picked up the cloth on the table and covered the plate for sorting pearls.

Mo Fan frowned slightly: "There is nothing to come and see." Mo Fan said and walked over, to lift the white cloth.

Luo Tuluwa looked flustered and pulled Mo Fan: "Mr. Mo Fan, please take a seat, do you have any orders?"

Mo Fan's eyes condensed, looking at him holding his hand. Rotoroa was originally the manager of the largest pearl farm in the atoll, and Mo Fan bought all the farms and merged them into Tak Company, or he named Rotoroa as the general manager.

Luo Tuoluwa hurriedly let go of Mo Fan......

The three pearl sorters looked nervous. Mo Fan is not a fool, and he can see that there is a problem at a glance. The white cloth was uncovered, and there were several plates on it, and the good pearls were on one plate, and the bad pearls were in another...... But Mo Fan saw that there were a few top-grade pearls in the defective products. It's even better than picking in a plate of fine pearls......

Treat a good pearl as an inferior pearl.

Mo Fan smiled: "It's okay, it's just too unsmart." "This guy is also very bold, and he dares to be blatant. Also, Mo Fan didn't care about buying a pearl farm, and he had the final say in the company's affairs, so could he be bold?

Rotoluwa was sweating profusely: "Sir, I, I know it's wrong. ”

"There is a court in the Tuamotu Islands?" Mo Fan looked at Alex.

Alex nodded hurriedly: "Yes." ”

"What is the maximum sentence for economic crimes?"

"Look at the amount of the crime to determine. Rotorowa is a Tahitian and may be handed over to the Papeete court. ”

Mo Fan smiled and pressed one hand on Luo Tuluwa's shoulder, and his bones gurgled when he pinched it.

"Call the police and see if the Parliament of the Islands can defend my interests. ”

Luo Tuluwa's face turned pale with fright, and he couldn't break free of Mo Fan's palm even if he wanted to, and begged for mercy in the local language.

Tahiti has always been regarded as a utopian society, but where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where people are people, there are desires.

The pearls selected by the company are traded every two weeks, and there is still a stock of selected pearls in the company, in which Mo Fan found more than two dozen flawless pearls with a diameter of about 13. The price of such pearls ranges from 400 to 1,000 dollars. There are also two pearls with a diameter of 14 mm or more...... There are also many pearls with a diameter of 8 mm or more and excellent color. This pearl is a little smaller, but the color is very good, and it is also the best among pearls, the yield is less than that of large pearls, and the price is extremely high.

This guy really did it, and sold the best pearls at the cheapest price. But when the pearls are picked, there seems to be a record of oversized pearls, so could it be that the breeding department also has accomplices?

After calling the police, Mo Fan asked the people from the hotel security department to come and block the store and watch the port, and then the people from the group's accounting department came to check the accounts, and another accountant went to Pearl Island accompanied by the security guards......

It only took ten minutes for four police helicopters to arrive, and even Kane returned, accompanied by the Speaker of the Archipelago Parliament, Wanatu.
