Chapter 16 Offshore Companies
Manhattan, Broadway.
Manhattan is in the same geographical location as the most beautiful riverside in Pudong, the magic capital, both are a narrow strip of land near the river, only giving a little riverside territory to the North Brown South Blue 2B area, the queen was completely sealed to the east by the brothers, and Si Island is an enclave closer to the North American continent, and Manhattan has become the most elite area of New York.
In 1626, in the 17th century, during the Age of Discovery, the Dutch exchanged a box of glass beads worth 60 guilders, about 24 US dollars, for a small island of nearly 60 square kilometers, stretching from the mouth of the Hudson River to the Atlantic Ocean, which was renamed New Amsterdam. The two sides frankly communicated each other's wishes, acted in strict accordance with the laws of the market, bought and sold voluntarily, were honest and trustworthy, no one forced anyone, each other was very happy, and there was no question of who deceived whom.
On the contrary, as soon as the British, who did not pay attention to the rules, did not pay attention to the rules of the traders, they came up and shot the Dutch, and the flying Dutchman cried and got on the ship.
The British renamed the island New York, and began to build shipyards, pave streets, build causeways, build merchant ships, and just prepare to attract investment to invigorate the economy, and there were traitors inside.
When the south saw that the sky was planting cotton and grazing sheep for the queen, his neck was red, and when he heard it, he felt reasonable, and the little brothers from the north and south joined hands, shouting to defeat imperialism, and happily rebelled.
The Yankees rebelled with the red neck and became Americans, and they chased and killed the pirate father with full heart, and fought at Canada, but without the help of the French dwarf, they were beaten by the Canadian militia, and they retreated in defeat, and they were set on fire to the government building by the pirate father who followed the pursuit, and later painted some white paint and called the White House.
The Canadian militia can't do it, it's too dangerous to go out, the imperialism is too strong, and it's still fun for the natives, so I wiped my tears and curiously looked around to see where my old Indian friends were. Waiting for the old friends at home is not easy to find, no friends are lonely in their hearts, and there are a lot of familiar faces in Mexico, unlike imperialism, so I feel at ease to take the white strip of Zhang Tian's destiny expansion to be a guest, and so on to play crying Lao Mo, the heart is high again, but I am still a little afraid of the old imperialism, I dare not go to the north, I cry in the south, everything is the sea, who to play Ni?
Imperialism can't be idle, so let's just make a game at home, the Yankees in the north have a friendly match with the red neck in the south, and they find that the dead villain is very fast, so it finally stops, and they start to do business and make villains, ready to write a white note and go out to find someone to play after someone has money.
In a short period of time, the Americans who stayed at home were bent on making money, and soon the New York Manhattan was very prosperous, and when I was in the Qing Dynasty, skyscrapers were already towering like trees in New York, and in more than a year from 1930 to 1931, the gorilla and his girlfriend were built a 102-story Empire State Building.
Because Broadway itself has the meaning of the main road, there are many streets called Broadway in all parts of the United States and New York City, which are as flooded as Washington Road, and generally people mention Broadway alone, usually referring to the Broadway where the drama soap dance and the Boston orchestra are performed, as well as the Broadway Outside Broadway, and the reputation of Broadway in the South Side of Manhattan far exceeds that of other Broadway, generally called Second Street.
From here to the East River, there is a road of several hundred meters long and ten meters wide, lined with a group of old buildings that are more dilapidated than the other, and the small streets on the street are about to pounce on the big stupid cows, which is the Wall Street that symbolizes the greed and shamelessness of imperialism.
Walking out of Wall Street and turning south, you can see a white and blue building, with the stars and stripes flying in front of the long columns all the year round, that is where the New York Stock Exchange is located, and there are underground vaults everywhere nearby, anyone can enter and visit, and the precautions are not very strict.
Not far from this Times Square, the tourists are weaving, the night scene is bright, the big screen here in the news of various countries to draw the Statue of Liberty three streets, has become a modern New York symbol, along the square and then walk 200 meters, a 48-storey old building, a brass nameplate in front of the Euris Building, written "Kelly Brothers Company B Block 23 E-G" words.
In a small mailroom on the 23rd floor, around the three sides of the room, like a sauna wardrobe, there are all kinds of bills, account books, materials, documents, etc., which are stored in the owner of the goods.
The parcels are piled up on one side of a gray-white office desk like a hill, and most of the information in the parcels will not be carefully read, but will be directly disposed of as garbage.
Unless there are special circumstances, or the boss has an explanation.
Now sitting behind the desk, Miss Jennifer has encountered a special situation, while dealing with the three landlines in front of her from time to time ringing telephones, or tapping on the keyboard, or holding a thick notebook to check the information, answer different questions on the phone, but also take the time to check the packages one by one, find out the ones specially explained by the boss.
Actually, Jennifer. Miss Hernandez is also the boss, not only the boss, but also the head of 73 American branches in New York, the representative of six foreign listed companies in New York, and the representative of 26 companies in different industries to the federal government to issue various qualifications and pay fees on behalf of 26 companies in different industries to prove that the company is doing well.
Several dozens or hundreds of companies share an office, a few phone numbers plus extensions, but there is not a single person from these companies in the office, and people from these companies never come.
This is a kind of legendary offshore company, spending a registration fee, paying some management fees every year, then any company and individual can open branches in Hong Kong, London, Berlin, New York, etc., British Cayman, Virgin Islands, etc.
Jennifer is extremely dissatisfied with her boss's stinginess, her colleagues can't stand the boring work and quit for a week, and the vampire Big Kelly actually let her take on the work of two people by herself, and she only has one salary.
I had no choice but to send the bill to the rental apartment on time every week, reminding her that her work was not easy to come by, not only that, but in the face of the squinting big Kelly, she had to ignore it and continue to insist in the eyes of the other party.
"Lord, let him act, then I can sue the bastard who escaped from hell to death."
Jennifer shook her sour little hand, and there was a hint of excitement in her eyes that the conspiracy had succeeded, but she could only think about it, the old fritters on Wall Street, even if they were harassed, were not secretaries but also middle and senior executives, and they could see the benefits of promotion and salary increase, and they would not easily give up the work they had been accustomed to for a long time, and there were few people with normal IQ who would harass the front desk and small staff, and the latter really dared to sue.
Putting down the scissors, Jennifer found something that the boss had specially told her to pay attention to from a package sent from Miami, Florida, and looked at a very strange envelope in front of her, she struggled inwardly, not knowing whether she should open it privately, in case there was a handle from Big Kelly in the letter.
After thinking about it, Jennifer finally didn't dare to take action, because the packaging of this letter was so strange, if she hadn't seen Big Kelly open it for the first time, she wouldn't have known that it was an envelope containing a letter.
On her fingers covered in red nail polish, she was pinching something like a thick cigar barrel, like the texture of wood, but she couldn't recognize what wood it was, it smelled faintly smoky, and the thick barrel was carved with a dragon bowed into a ball with a tail against the back of its neck, and on the dragon's back was mulberry leaf-like scales, and the carapace was marked like a curved cross, and a line of H.R.R1408 in floral font.
It's a pity that Big Kelly never opened the letter in front of her when he received it later, and it was impossible to tell her what was written in it, but he knew that Big Kelly was very strange every time he received a letter, and the more he behaved later, the more weird he became.
Jennifer didn't dare to unscrew the cap-like tube, which was a sealing device that seemed to be a sealing wax or something that would have been opened when it moved.
Thinking of the consequences of being discovered, she still suppressed her curiosity, got up and twisted her waist, and walked towards Big Kelly's office next door with her high heels clattering.
Wall Street is a street, but it is impossible to fit the magic world, there are too many scumbags, they are crowded, they have long been scattered nearby, and there are bases everywhere in the United States, more than nuclear bomb silos, and there are a lot of overseas sub-bases.
Kelly Brothers, a little-known retail broker of stocks and bonds, can only get some leftovers from the bond pools underwritten by various banks, with meager profits, and has to call all kinds of people, from gardeners to university professors, and solemnly give expected returns that they don't believe, hoping that the creatures on the other end of the phone can become their customers.
Once you become a customer, you must stick to it frequently, sell the bonds with the largest profit point and definitely the most dangerous one, and by the way, while greeting customers, cultivate the habit of frequent transactions to obtain trading commissions.
It sounds like a high-flying stock and bond brokerage firm, but Wall Street has such companies failing every hour of every day.
A stockbroker who looks like a neat suit and an elite demeanor, there has never been such a person in the morgue on Ellis Island in southwest Manhattan, and more often it is the owner of a stockbrokerage company who is sent by lying down, and then put it in a drum washing machine-like device, and say goodbye to this world in flames.
The large hall, with rows of fluorescent lamps on the roof still on during the day, is a row of semi-open cubicles separated by wooden boards, and the difference from the Internet café is that on the desk of each agent, in addition to the computer, there are at least two telephones, all kinds of coffee cups, messy paper and pens, and layers of small notes of various colors nailed to the partitions on both sides.
