Mobei Wolf and Zhou Yulong went out for a night, and they didn't meet a popular female star, but they found a good nightclub. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
When it was almost dawn, the two returned to the hotel satisfied. Liu Wei and the others had already had breakfast, and they waited for the two to return to Las Vegas after they returned.
On the way back, Liu Wei told Mobei Wolf about Harris coming to the door.
"It's a good thing, if he comes forward, we don't have to worry about it." Mobei Wolf smiled, "This guy is right, the money he makes is money wherever he goes." β
"It's not that simple." Zhou Fen is much calmer than Mobei Wolf, "Harris controls the wholesale and retail market in the United States, and the source of goods comes from South America, mainly Colombia. I don't know the specifics, but the United States has been cracking down on Colombian drug traffickers. Harris has served and done a good job, and must have ties to the U.S. special forces in Colombia, perhaps it is through these people that a stable supply of goods has been obtained, otherwise there is no way to meet the huge market consumption, let alone fight against Mexican drug lords. β
"You mean, we can't be Harris's suppliers?" Liu Wei asked.
Zhou Fen nodded and said, "That batch of cocaine is indeed quite a lot, if it is diluted to 25 percent, it can probably meet the market demand for half a year, but what about after that?" What's more, with the help of the U.S. special forces, Harris is doing a profitable business, and it is impossible to buy our goods. β
"Black eats black?" Mobei Wolf's eyes widened.
"It's not about black eating black, the U.S. military special forces will regularly encircle and suppress Colombian drug traffickers, and a lot of drugs must have been confiscated, and only a small part is needed to make Harris rich." Zhou Fen smiled and said, "In front of money, anyone is the same, as long as the profit is considerable, everyone will take risks." β
"In that case, we'll have to go it alone." Zhou Yulong interjected.
Liu Wei glanced at him, this guy had already been taken by the Mobei wolf.
"You have to have a stable and reliable supply of goods alone, otherwise you will finish the game sooner or later." Zhou Fen sighed and said, "If you don't touch or talk about this thing, if you really want to do it, you have to make a long-term plan." There is no shortage of outlaws in the United States, and there is no shortage of careerists. Entering this industry, even if we want to get out, it is not so easy. β
"Old Zhou, do you think you should sell those cocaines too?"
"Why don't you sell it?" Zhou Fen glanced at Liu Wei, "Anyway, it's sold to the Americans, not to the Chinese." There is no shortage of drug dealers in this world, and there is no shortage of drugs, we don't sell them, there are always people who sell them. As long as there are addicts in the United States, there are people who ship drugs to the United States. β
Liu Wei smiled bitterly, in front of money, everyone is the same.
"Ignore him, we'll do it ourselves." Mobei Wolf was already impatient, "Xiashan Tiger, you work in a casino, it's more convenient, inquire about the market, and then decide what to do." β
Zhou Fen didn't agree, but looked at Liu Wei.
Mobei Wolf gritted his teeth and turned his gaze to Zhou Yulong.
"Let's listen to Liu Wei, after all, it's ......" Zhou Yulong smiled bitterly and said, "We are a team, and we have long said that after coming to the United States, everything will be arranged by Liu Wei." β
After speaking, Zhou Yulong turned his gaze to Liu Wei.
"I'll have to think about it, I'm not in a hurry anyway." Liu Wei knew that he had to make a decision that everyone could accept, otherwise the team would fall apart. "Lao Zhou, you can ask someone when you go back, but don't get into trouble. We'll go to New Orleans in two days and get the goods back. β
As soon as Liu Wei said this, Mobei Wolf's face looked a little better, and Zhou Fen and Zhou Yulong also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the two of them did not stand on the same front as Mobei Wolf, it could be seen that they also wanted to do the same, after all, it was also their wish to complete the transformation.
Back in Las Vegas, Liu Wei was invited by Capua.
Because Carlos was finished, the court started the auction process ahead of schedule. In order to win the casino, Capua has come forward to communicate with a number of gambling tycoons. Although there are still some gambling tycoons who covet Carlos's casino and don't take Liu Wei seriously, everyone knows that Carlos died a strange death, and there must be something else hidden. In the absence of clarity, the conservative gambling tycoons offered a favor and said they would not participate in the bidding.
The words came out of Capua's mouth, and naturally became his credit.
Since Liu Wei will definitely be able to get Carlos's casino, Capua is also generous, promising to remit the $100 million deposit needed to restart the casino and the $30 million needed to maintain the operation to Liu Wei's account as soon as possible, and Zhou Fen will arrange the manpower needed to run the casino.
Liu Wei gladly accepted this.
After negotiating with Capua, Liu Wei put the matter behind him. Even if you go through the auction procedure, it will take ten days and half a month, and it will take a lot of time to transfer the casino assets, and then it will take time to renovate and arrange personnel.
It's great to be able to open in two months.
Back in the room, Liu Wei handed over the one million cash he brought back to Rina Tanaka, asked her to take a group of chicks out shopping, and then called Situ Wenhui, who was still in Switzerland.
At this time, Situ Wenhui had already booked a flight back to the mainland and was explaining some things to Yuan Changqing.
The cash that Liu Wei got from Mexico needed to be turned several times to be washed. This matter was handled by Li Tingxuan himself, and it would be remitted to a special account in about a week. Because Liu Wei had provided hundreds of millions of dollars before this, Yuan Changqing had already started to treat Liu Xiuhui, and his condition was under control.
As for the batch of gold, Li Tingxuan also accepted all of it, and then paid Liu Wei 200 million US dollars according to the domestic mining price.
This is the highest price that Li Tingxuan can offer, because this batch of gold can only be laundered by the state-owned gold mines that falsely report the amount of mined and then sent to the state treasury. Although selling it to a jeweler in batches can get $400 million, it takes a lot of time and is more troublesome, and Li Tingxuan does not recommend it.
Liu Wei did not raise any objections, after all, the money was enough for Liu Xiuhui to complete the retransformation.
After receiving a call from Liu Wei, Situ Wenhui left the manor and contacted Li Tingxuan on the way to Zurich. Because she needed to go back to deal with some things, such as reporting to Li Tingxuan, arranging Professor Beard's transportation route, and settling the group of agents who participated in the attack on the computing center, she did not return to the United States directly.
At this time, Li Tingxuan had just attended the supreme decision-making meeting.
The general election is approaching, and the New People's Party formed by Kojiro Ikawa is far ahead in several opinion polls, and has a great tendency to surpass the Meizhuo Party and the Liberal Democratic Party.
The reality is even worse than the media reported.
After Ikawa Kojiro left the party and formed the New People's Party, the Meizhuo Party became a disarray, and it is difficult to say whether it will be able to maintain its position as the second largest party in the general election. Although the LDP has been very active and its poll ratings are not too low, its platform lacks novelty and is hardly appealing to the centrist voters, who make up 40 percent of them. As long as the New People's Party can capture these voters, it is very likely to win the general election with a majority and form a separate government.
The New People's Party came to power, and the results were obvious.
It was this matter that was discussed at the supreme decision-making meeting, that is, how the mainland would adjust its policy toward the policy after the New People's Party came to power, and how to properly handle a series of problems arising therefrom.
The result of the discussion did not surprise Li Tingxuan.
In his view, after the New People's Party comes to power, it will certainly speed up the pace of "normalization," gradually get rid of the United States, move toward a normal country, and then embark on the road of militarism.
Affected by the international environment, especially at the "20 Group Summit" three months ago, the major economies did not reach an agreement on monetary and financial policies; The United States then announced the third round of monetary quantitative easing, triggering a new round of international commodity prices. The EU and the mainland immediately took corresponding measures to increase the issuance of currency to offset the export crisis caused by the depreciation of the US dollar; In the end, these moves by various countries have led to a sharp deterioration in the international financial and trade environment, and the economy, which relies heavily on export trade, has suffered another heavy blow.
At this point, Yue Ben had no choice but to issue more currency and depreciate the yuan.
Two years ago, it would have been difficult. However, with the full alliance of the five major consortia and the control of the central bank, it is no longer difficult to issue additional currency.
As long as the central bank issues more money on a large scale, domestic prices will inevitably soar.
Under the control of the five major consortia, the only policy that Ben can adopt is to "burn money". Because the infrastructure is already very perfect, and the social welfare and security system is relatively sound, it is impossible for the company to burn money by expanding the scale of infrastructure construction and improving the social welfare and security system as the mainland does.
The only way for a country like Ben to burn money is to build up its armaments.
The United States is also adopting this method, otherwise the US military would have already withdrawn from Afghanistan, let alone ignite fires everywhere in the Middle East, so that the US military has something to do.
The expansion of armaments in this country will inevitably benefit the five major consortia, thus fueling the arrogance of the militarist clique.
Li Tingxuan knows very well what the result is, and the high-level decision-makers are also very clear.
It is a pity that on such a major strategic issue, the high-level decision-makers still have not reached a consensus, and even Xing Yuanzhao has the slightest illusion that it will take 20 years or even longer to pose a real threat to the mainland, so during this period, the mainland should make full use of the ambition of the mainland to break the "crescent-shaped" strategic encirclement built by the United States and gain a broader space for development.
The direct result of this decision is not to interfere in the general election of the Ming Cook.
Li Tingxuan had already expected this result, so he was not surprised.
When talking to Situ Wenhui on the phone, Xing Yuanzhao's secretary rushed over. After answering the phone, Li Tingxuan didn't ask much, and went to Xing Yuanzhao's study with him.
Since introducing Liu Wei to Xing Yuanzhao, Li Tingxuan has not talked to the head of state alone, and Xing Yuanzhao has not looked for him.
The FΓΌhrer said that there are all kinds of opportunities, and it is impossible to stare at a certain person. He rarely asked about these matters that belonged to the Military Intelligence Bureau, and only took 15 minutes a week to read the briefing submitted by Li Tingxuan.
Now that Li Tingxuan is called over alone, there must be something very important.
