Chapter 105: Criminal Genius

The profits of the drug market far exceeded Liu Wei's imagination. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Eighteen tons of cocaine and twelve tons of viruses made a total of one hundred and twenty tons of mixed drugs. In the United States market, the price of this new drug mixture is $1,200 per ounce, or $42,000 per kilogram, for a total value of $2.52 billion per tonne, or $21 million per tonne, and the international gold price is only $1,500 per ounce.
Excluding operating costs, the net profit was US$2.2 billion.
That's just the first month's income.
With the expansion of the market size, and addicts get used to new flavors, the future sales volume will definitely be even greater, even if it is conservatively estimated, when the Mobei wolf occupies the southwest market in the United States, the monthly operating income will not be less than 10 billion, and if optimistic, it may reach 15 billion, and the net income will be between 9 billion and 13.5 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to the net profit of the three Las Vegas gaming industry groups for the whole year.
With such a huge benefit, it is natural to attract enough outlaws.
It is not difficult to understand why so many drug lords want to sell drugs to the United States.
This made Liu Wei question, that is, Harris has made at least hundreds of billions of dollars in the past few years of dominating the drug market in the southwest of the United States, where did the money go?
If all cash were to be used, the amount of dollar bills in circulation in the United States would be reduced by at least 10 percent.
Obviously, there is no way that Harris can hide so much drug money.
One plausible explanation is that the money has long been laundered and taken away.
The only one who can take the money from Harris is the CIA. In other words, Harris is not only helping the CIA provide [***] specimens for experiments, but also helping the CIA raise funds for experiments.
Hundreds of billions of dollars have been burned in a few years, how much did the "Future Soldiers" program cost?
While thinking about this problem, Liu Wei also realized the trouble. Although the CIA will not target the Mobei Wolf for the time being, without the huge amount of money provided by Harris, the "Future Soldier" project will inevitably be affected, and the Yankees will definitely try to get rid of the roadblock.
What Mobei Wolf did at this time has already had an impact on the "Future Soldier" project.
Thinking about it again, Liu Wei felt that this was a great opportunity to find out about the "Future Soldier" project.
As long as the Yankees find the Mobei wolf, whether they get rid of him or buy him, they will have the opportunity to get in touch with the "Future Soldier" project, and may even participate in it.
Besides, it's really going to be screwed up, it's a big deal to leave the United States, or the United States upside down.
It's not that Liu Wei doesn't want to find out about the "Future Soldier" project, but no matter what means he uses, he can't get around the big obstacle of funding, so he has to rely on the huge profits that Mobei Wolf earns from the drug market.
If you want to make money, you have to have goods to buy.
Methamphetamine production is already on track, with Cuban factories producing 100 tons per month, and when blended, capable of producing 1,000 tons of synthetic drugs, enough to meet the needs of the entire United States market, and even export to Europe. The key is to generate a monthly demand of 150 tons of cocaine.
Liu Wei could not let Hebling grow marijuana in Cuba, so he had to open up new channels for purchases.
Back in Reno, Liu Wei found Zhou Yulong and asked him to return to Colombia again, find the drug lord hiding in the jungle, and establish a purchase channel. Because the gray-backed jackal would take a month to complete the transformation, Dianbin stayed in the United States temporarily, and Miyuki Takahara and Komatsu Kawano followed Zhou Yulong to go.
As for the care of the processing plant, Tony is solely responsible.
This guy's ability is not very good, but after being rescued by Liu Wei, he has no second thoughts. If nothing else, at least loyalty is not an issue.
It was at this time that Liu Wei knew another thing.
Tony's roommate at the High Point Federal Penitentiary, a Russian descendant named Yankersky, is indeed a hacker, and a very good hacker.
The fact that the Mobei Wolves were able to quickly sweep away drug dealers in Southern California and Arizona is due to Yankersky.
This guy, using a laptop computer purchased online, hacked into the central database of the California State Police Department within fifteen minutes and obtained the details of the drug dealers who were being recorded. Later, he used the computer to hack into the databases of police departments in Arizona and New Mexico respectively to obtain information about drug dealers needed by Mobei Wolf. When Liu Wei returned, he was hacking into the Texas police department database in preparation for the Mobei Wolves' march into Texas.
As a reward, Dian Bin gave him $150,000 and promised to help him get a powerful server.
It's just that this guy is very greedy, and $150,000 can't satisfy his appetite at all.
After Liu Wei came back, he followed Tony to the door.
"Hacking into a bank?" Liu Wei looked at Yang Keji and felt that this guy was a genius, a genius who used computers to engage in criminal activities.
"There are 300 million people in the United States, but 1.4 billion credit cards are issued, and the average American has nearly five credit cards. A large proportion of these credit cards are not used regularly. "Yang Keki was very proud, because Liu Wei agreed to see him and gave him a chance to speak." Given that two-thirds of credit cards don't have regular spending, that's about 900 million, and if we steal $10 from each credit card, that's $9 billion. Most Americans are careless and don't care about paying an extra ten dollars at all. ”
"Why should it only be ten dollars, not a hundred or a thousand dollars?"
"If there is a limit on credit card spending, and if you only overdraft ten dollars, the bank will not notify the customer in time, and will only send mail to the customer after several months of non-payment on time. If you overdraft $100, you will receive a reminder letter from the bank that month. ”
"In other words, will be found by the police?"
Yankski nodded, indicating that this was what he meant.
"So why not overdraft an extra hundred dollars on those credit cards that you use regularly? In this case, according to the calculation of 500 million sheets, there are also 50 billion dollars. In order not to be discovered by the customer, it can be divided into multiple operations, and only add ten dollars or a few dollars each time. ”
Yanksky was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This is indeed a good way, more hidden than I thought." ”
Liu Wei smiled and said, "It's just that you have to enter the bank's central database." I don't think you could get a world-class server for you, right? ”
"It's true, it's a lot of trouble to do."
"How much trouble?" Liu Wei picked up the cigar and saw Yanksky lick his lips, he threw one over and gave Tony another one.
"The information of the bank credit card is transmitted on the network of Reading Power, and we can't get in from the outside at all." Yanksky lit his cigar and added, "In addition to that, you have to collect information about those commonly used credit cards." Theoretically, it is not very troublesome, as long as a virus program is implanted in the server of the credit card company, it can automatically store the account number, password and other information of all credit cards used in the future in a hidden folder. With the frequency of card consumption in the United States, enough information can be collected after about a month. ”
"And then?" Liu Wei also lit a cigar. "Fake credit cards?"
"There's no need for this at all, you can transfer money directly online, you don't need to use a credit card at all, and it can be done automatically by the program."
"In other words, you need a central server that is strong enough."
Yanksky nodded and said, "This is not the most difficult, the main thing is how to implant the virus program. ”
"Must go to a credit card company?"
"Not necessarily, any of the major banks' regional branches have terminals connected to credit card centers where you can get started."
"Let's rob the bank?" Liu Wei laughed.
"It's not about robbing the bank, it's just about occupying that terminal and making it work."
"How long does it take to implant a virus program?"
"This ......," Yang Kesky hesitated for a moment and said, "It depends on the firewall of the credit card company's central processing unit, if it is not too complicated, it can be done in more than ten minutes." If the credit card company had changed its firewall, it might have taken a few hours, and maybe even more. ”
"Changed the firewall?"
Yanksky smiled bitterly and said, "I was doing this before I was imprisoned. ”
Liu Wei frowned, feeling that this guy was born to be a criminal material.
"It's a pity that those guys are so that they can't hold out for even fifteen minutes. If they can give me a few more minutes, I can ......"
"Who are they?"
"I don't know, a bunch of foreigners, not Russians, not Orientals like you."
"You don't know who they are?"
"They promised to give me $10 million when it was done, and they sent me out of the United States, and I wasn't allowed to ask why, and I didn't even know what they looked like."
Liu Wei immediately realized that this group of people was by no means simple.
"When I went in, they had already occupied the bank, all wearing masks. By the time the police took me out, the robbers had been shot dead and their bodies were covered with white cloths. ”
"How did they contact you?"
"Through a woman, a woman I met at a bar. I didn't see her in the bank because the robbers were all men and no women. ”
"Looks like you're out of luck."
"If you can rush into the prison and get us out, there must be a way to get into the bank."
"It's not hard to get in, but can you guarantee that you can break through the credit card company's firewall and plant the virus into the central database before the police arrive?"
Yankski hesitated, then shook his head.
"Even if you could, the credit card company would reset the central database system, and the virus program you planted might not work." Liu Wei smiled and said, "In addition, after a month, we will have to enter another bank again to obtain the required procedures." Anyway, it's too risky, I'll have to think about it, and you should go about your own thing. ”
"Boss, you will succeed, believe me." Yanksky was still a little unwilling.
Liu Wei nodded and asked Tony to take him out.
Yang Keji is indeed a very thoughtful person, but Liu Wei doesn't know him, and even if he thinks it's feasible, he won't agree immediately.
