Chapter 1385 Floating Wealth

……

"Holy, so much money?"

Looking at the $8.2 billion on the page, Liu Dong was suddenly surprised.

Because of his own relationship with the operation of the 'Emperor' Casino, he knows in his heart how profitable the gambling industry is. And that's why he decided to get a vote on Mobtangand.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Mozambiandi had so much money in his account. That's nearly half more than he thought.

What Liu Dong doesn't know, of course, is that the $8.2 billion is not just the revenue of one casino in Mobtangandi, Delhi, but the total revenue of all 118 underground casinos in Mozambitan, all of India, over the past quarter.

According to Mozambitan's internal rules, the monthly balance of the branch casino is credited to this master account, and the funds in this master account are paid to the accounts of those who provide protection from the wind and rain in Mozambitan.

These 'umbrellas' include government officials, local councillors, and religious figures, and it is precisely because of their cover that Mozambitani is so prosperous in India.

This huge interest group is connected into a huge interest group.

It is no wonder that the people of Mozambitani are so arrogant, openly engaging in underground bloody fighting and beast fighting in a country's capital.

Of course, Liu Dong can guess the network behind Mozambitan. But he wasn't easy to mess with, and he had already figured out how to deal with it before he did what he did today.

Therefore, even though he knew that swallowing up this huge amount of money might bring some trouble to himself, Liu Dong still transferred them to the hidden account he had opened in HSBC without hesitation!

Of course, this is not the end of the story, if you want to make it impossible to trace the whereabouts of this fund, you have to turn a few more times, but Liu Dong is not responsible for this.

"José?"

"Boss, it should be early morning in India, right?"

After a few years of getting along, it is clear that the intimacy between José Aquilar and Liu Dong is not comparable at the beginning.

"Of course, but Colombia should still be enjoying a delicious breakfast!" Liu Dong laughed.

There is a difference of more than a dozen hours between New Delhi and Colombia, and the evening in New Delhi is exactly the morning before in Colombia.

"Hehe, boss, I'm having breakfast, but not in Colombia but in Bolivia!"

"Oh, there is a new development in the matter of Colombian oil investment?" Liu Dong's eyes lit up.

Bolivia, a landlocked South American country, is known as the 'donkey on the gold mines' and has the second largest natural oil and gas fields in South America after Venezuela.

What's more, the country's oil is still privately owned, allowing foreign companies to operate, so extending the tentacles of the Colombian Group's Cartagena Oil Company to the Bolivian oil industry has always been what Liu Dong hopes to achieve in recent years.

"Boss, I'm afraid it's going to be hard for us to really get involved in Bolivia's oil production!" José Aquilar said in a calm tone.

"Why? Is it the boycott of other oil majors?"

Bolivia's oil resources, which have been exploited in the last century, have attracted almost the vast majority of international oil majors, such as Mobil, Shell, EP, and even Petrobras, which have their own oil fields and petrochemical plants in Bolivia.

As a latecomer, the Cartagena oil company wants to enter it, which will undoubtedly touch the interests of these oil giants, and then meet with fierce opposition.

After all, the cake is so big, and no one wants a new competitor to come in.

"No! it's the Bolivian government!"

"The government?"

"Yes! Now Morales, the leader of Bolivia's left-wing party Movement for Socialism, has won broad support in the national presidential election, and one of the most important measures he has taken to campaign is the 'nationalization of Bolivia's oil and gas production and processing'! ”

So, if nothing else, he will become the new president of Bolivia in next year's presidential election. By 2006 at the latest, Bolivia's oil and gas extraction, processing, transportation, distribution, export, and chemical industry will be controlled by the Bolivian National Oil Company!

"This is the third time that the Bolivian government has nationalized oil, right?" said Liu Dong after a little thought.

The first time was in 1937, when the Bolivian government confiscated the Bolivian assets of the U.S. Standard Oil Company and established the state-run Bolivian Oil Company. The second time was in 1969, when the Gulf Oil Company of the United States was confiscated by the Bolivian government! This is the third time!"

After nodding slightly, Liu Dong continued: "Jose, since the political situation in Bolivia has changed, what are you going to do?"

"Boss, Bolivia is actually very rich in minerals, and we don't need to invest most of our money in the oil industry. ”

"You mean to continue to strengthen our investment in iron ore mining and transportation in Bolivia?"

Colombia has 450 tons of iron ore, second only to Brazil in Latin America. Tin reserves of 1.15 million tons, ranking second in the world, and lithium reserves of 100 million tons, ranking first in the world! Moreover, tin, antimony, tungsten, silver, zinc, lead, copper, nickel, iron, gold and other minerals are also abundant. As long as we are willing to invest, it is not difficult for Kodi Mining Group to become an international mining giant comparable to Vale, BHP Billiton and Anglo American. ”

Regarding José's proposal, Liu Dong also understood that it would be more beneficial for the future expansion of the Colombian group in Bolivia.

In contrast, the Bolivian oil industry, which is full of giants, is more suitable for the development of the Colombian group because of the poor infrastructure, the scale of exploitation is relatively small, and the mining industry is not as fierce as the oil industry.

Moreover, after nearly four years of investment, the Colombian Group has a certain foundation in Bolivia, with iron ore in Trinidad and lithium in Cochabamba, and 15 million tons of iron ore and 2 million tons of lithium ore to the Chimbaut branch of Oriental Iron and Steel Group in South America every year!

It greatly guarantees the supply of iron ore resources of Dongfang Iron and Steel Group.

Moreover, sufficient iron ore resources are also a strong pillar to support Dongfang Iron and Steel Group to compete for the leader of the steel industry in the next step.

After thinking about these things clearly, Liu Dong also made a decision in his heart, "Just do what you do!"

"Thank you boss for your support!"

"Jose, you're welcome! If you want to say thank you, it should be me, if you hadn't controlled the overall situation in South America all these years, I'm afraid the Colombian Group would not have developed so fast!"

Liu Dong's words are not untargeted.

Although the Columbia Group only owns four companies: Katjuna Petroleum Company, Cody Mining Group, Darren Group and Commercial Bank of the Americas!

But these four companies are among the largest companies in the oil, mining, processing, transportation and banking industries in the entire Americas. Even the weakest Darren Group has $5.8 billion in assets. And the most powerful Katjena oil company is no less than 20 billion dollars!

And the assets of the Colombian Group, which is made up of four giants, are nearly 60 billion US dollars!

Of course, because none of the four companies are listed, and because its main business is located in South America, the specific assets of the Columbia Group are not well known to the outside world except for a few insiders!

It is very appropriate to describe the Columbia Group as a giant in the shadows!

"Boss, you're so polite! If it weren't for your backing, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do what I am now!"

Liu Dong knew that Jose was talking about the gold he would send almost every month, as well as the support of the most important secret organization and the three major mercenary organizations. The wealth handed over by the gold and the three major mercenary organizations solved the financial needs of the Colombian group's development, and the methods of the secret organization appeased the politicians and drug lords in Colombia who coveted the group's wealth!

Moreover, over the years, almost 90% of Liu Dong's wealth has been invested in the business operations of the Hanhua Group, and the funds handed over by the secret door are the source of income for his usual expenses.

Funds like the one taken out in Mozambitani this time are all wealth handed over through secret doors.

"Alright, the kind words are over! I have business to explain to you!"

"Boss, please command!"

"That's right, I got some more money in India this time, a lot of money! Now it's been transferred to the old account. You're in charge of it!"

"I understand!"

Because this kind of thing is not once or twice, whether it is the money that Liu Dongshun is holding the sheep, or the money handed over by the secret door and the three major mercenary groups, it is all laundered through Jose's hands.

As for the method of laundering, it is also very simple, in more than 5,000 branches of American Commercial Bank, Standard Chartered Bank and Hanhua Bank around the world, tens of thousands of accounts are registered, and then the money is scattered and deposited.

Generally, depositors' deposits are taken by banks for investment. The scattered deposited money, or gold, will be misappropriated by Liu Dong and directly become the development and M&A funds of the major companies under the GCA Group and the Columbia Group in the form of loans.

By the time the money was returned a few times around the company, it was basically a few years in the past. And this money has been basically laundered by now, and it can be accessed at any time.

Moreover, because the three banks are not listed companies, they do not need to disclose their annual profits and specific operating conditions to the public, and only need to deal with the inspection of the tax department and the China Banking Regulatory Commission.

Obviously, this kind of inspection will not cause anything, because the information of the depositors is confidential! And there is no problem with the taxation and operation of the three banks.

In this way, everything becomes reasonable and legal! )
