Chapter 029: Tiger Stone

Although the celebration may be rude to the loser, when Michael applauded, the crowd cheered for the game into a continuous round of applause. It's a beautiful reversal, and the unexpected guess is only half right. If you adapt this theme, you will have no problem making it into a movie.

Shi Hu was still staring at the table, he had played for the first time in all his years, and for the first time he had a straight flush in a confrontation - a super good hand that was almost impossible to beat. In the end, it was God's favor and, of course, his persistence, until the river (the last one) that he sent out the red heart queen he needed.

This hand is played in a thrilling way, like a tightrope walk.

After winning the final victory, Shi Hu felt indescribable joy in his heart, picked up a square chip with a face value of 500,000 yuan, and threw it to the dealer boldly: "Well done." ”

"Thank you very much." The dealer calmly accepted it.

Shi Hu stood up, nodded to the audience, and glanced in the direction of Mrs. Betyeva, also thanking her for her awakening. Although it was unintentional, the key moment gave him the confidence to face it again and win the game...... Finally he came to his friend's side.

"It's amazing! Jedi Reversal! "Michael is more excited than he is.

"Hey, stand back!" Shi Hu pushed away his hug, "Lady first." ”

Michael's movements froze.

"Haha!" Shi Hu was naturally joking, he hugged Michael heavily, and then had another with Paul: "Let's have a party to celebrate!" ”

It was late at night after the game, but that didn't stop the energetic Shi Hu from throwing a party with a few friends to celebrate the beautiful victory. Even now, they were still in a trance, not quite sure if they had won or not...... Then I thought of Shi Hu's opponent.

Michael exclaimed, "Did you find out?" The expression of the Irish boy who fell from heaven to hell in an instant was surprised, incredulous, and deeply afraid. I really didn't know that a person could have such a rich change in expression, and he would definitely win an award if he acted in a movie. ”

Paul laughed and said, "You all ignored Tiger's acting skills, and I was almost deceived by him until the last flop, and I really thought it was just a flush." ”

Shi Hu shrugged: "I'm a good person, I have to give others a taste of the happiness of heaven." ”

Michael raised his glass: "It's a pity that his time in heaven is short, and I have to congratulate you in the end, master, you are the real God of Gamblers!" ”

Everyone toasted and celebrated the victory.

……

This night was Shi Hu's most reassuring and comfortable night, although it was no different from before, but it was completely different from carrying pressure and being relaxed. After a moment of lingering with him, Eva also fell into a contented and tired slumber until the sun hung high at noon.

Cruise ships dock in Malta in the morning and depart in the evening, allowing visitors to land for sightseeing and experience the Mediterranean island nation.

But before that, Shi Hu had to deal with the gambling money first.

Brian, an intermediary, and a manager of a Swiss bank came to discuss the disposition of the money.

Shi Hu won $125 million worth of chips, and after deducting the casino's 20% rake, he still had a full 100 million in earnings. The money is currently held in the custody of UBS (Union Bank of Switzerland), and although the money has not been laundered, John Smith's credit allows the bank to pay early.

The bank manager advised: "In order to avoid unnecessary tax expenses, I recommend that you open a personal account with UBS, we can provide global and thoughtful financial services, and UBS has always been very good and secure for important customers** and confidentiality." ”

The manager was naturally taking the opportunity to pull business, but Shi Hu did not hesitate, because although the money was washed, it would be transferred to a bank in another country and might face tax review. For example, in the United States, it has about 30% of the individual income tax for high-income groups, which means that 100 million will have to deduct 30 million.

Shi Hu has worked as an accountant, so he is naturally not stupid.

Because of the account matter, he thought about the issue of identity again. China's Shi Hu's future is uncertain, and he continues to act in his name, always feeling that there are a pair of eyes staring. Although Zhang Qiang's identity is convenient, he is not himself after all, and it is difficult to guarantee that when the US government investigates, he will be exposed.

It's best to be able to change your legal identity.

For this request, Brian is more thoughtful: "We can provide citizenship services in many countries with relaxed policies, including information changes, fast naturalization, etc., and the documents obtained are recognized by the host country, and it will be legal in the world." ”

Shi Hu's eyes lit up, he liked this.

Under careful questioning, this kind of business has always been done, usually not in large countries, such as the United States and Canada, and it is not easy to take shortcuts under a sound judicial system. But some small countries, such as the islands of the Caribbean, open to offshore finance and immigration, are a breeze.

In other countries, you need to obtain a green card (permanent resident) status for several years before you can apply for naturalization, while in these countries, you can directly become a naturalized citizen after you have invested a certain amount. Brian even has a way of modifying his pre-naturalization identity to the point of complete obfuscation of the origins.

Shi Hu considered the credibility of the candidate countries, the convenience of passports, and the political situation. In the end, he chose a relatively high level of service, spent three million dollars, started with a fake Chinese identity, changed his name to "Tiger Stone", invested and obtained a Bahamian passport.

His new English name is actually the English form of "Shihu". Shi Hu's Chinese passport is temporarily hidden, and it can be used as a dual nationality if necessary. In the future, he will walk the rivers and lakes in the name of Tiger Stone, a citizen of the Bahamas. English is also spoken in the Bahamas, which could not be more appropriate.

Brian provides thoughtful immigration services, not only to obtain legal citizenship in the Bahamas, but also to perform operations on his pre-naturalization status. The coherence and authenticity of the information are very high, unless you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find a person who does not need to test the DNA.

There are also reasons for choosing the Bahamas: it has a stable political situation, a very good passport, visa-free access to 138 countries in the world (2014 data, 04 years cannot be found), and basically Europe and the United States are unimpeded. The Bahamas is also a tax haven, with a large number of offshore companies registered and no individual income tax.

All things considered, three million is still worth it.

The processing time is about a month, and Brian has received several orders before, and the process is still familiar. Of the three million fees, part of it is remuneration, and the other part is used to circumvent the policy...... In short, Shi Hu only needs to do what he prompts, and he can receive a new identity.

So at present, Shi Hu temporarily keeps the funds in the name of an offshore company.

He calculated that the $100 million still needed to be spent. The first is the remuneration of the relevant personnel, such as tips for friends and dealers who provide bank data services; and Zhang Qiang's identity, 500,000; Eva's due remuneration was originally 200,000, and Shi Hu doubled it.

After being busy, the translator Mai Kouzhang, who was both an apprentice and a servant, paid off for his hard work, and received 200,000 red envelopes, which made him so happy that he was in a fluttering state all day long...... Finally, there's the agent, Brian, who charges $3 million for his services.

The fees of international intermediaries are naturally high, but the service is worth the price, and if it were not for Brian, Paul alone, Shi Hu would not have been able to get on this boat. Brian is also satisfied with this new customer, and now Shi Hu has been upgraded to a member, so you can contact him directly if you need services in the future.

After deducting other fragmentary expenses, Shi Hu finally got 94 million + 5 million (capital) dollars.

Of course, don't forget that the promise made with Paul had to be fulfilled. Shi Hu chose the second option and would acquire his hotel. According to the original income ratio, Shi Hu will buy 60% of the shares, spend 60 million in cash, and the hotel will also bear some bank debts and planned later decoration.

Roughly calculated, this 60% would cost $80 million.

The casino hotel was valued at $150 million, or 1.22 billion yuan. In Las Vegas it is four stars, and in China, it is five stars. Shi Hu was able to buy it at a lower price, and Paul's guy also cashed out as he wished, and happily took 70 million to retire and enjoy himself.

In the end, it's a happy cooperation.
