Chapter XV: Money laundering
"What do you mean, isn't it just whistling?" Liang Pengfei grinned a little unbearably, and his eyes collided with the girl's eyes again.
The little girl was so stubborn that her petal-like lips were tightly pursed and she didn't speak, her long eyelashes fluttered lightly in the wind, and her eyes fluttered, but there was a childish innocence.
"Damn, blow a blow and you just stare at Lao Tzu like this, you have the ability, you stare at me for a lifetime." Liang Pengfei, who was staring at his scalp, rolled his eyes politely, pursed his lips, and whistled again.
Miss Pan is about to be mad by this impolite guy, doesn't this rude guy know what shame is? Don't you understand that whistling in front of a lady is a rather light act, otherwise, Miss Pan would not have gone to pull her father over, just to teach this guy a lesson.
But what makes Miss Pan depressed is that her father is actually a business partner with his father, since her father is not easy to come forward, Miss Pan, who has always been knowledgeable, is ready to forgive this impolite guy in front of her.
But I didn't expect that I had waited for a long time, and what I was waiting for was the damn whistle again, and Miss Pan's angry head was a little dizzy, but at this time, I found that the whistle blown by this guy did not have a light taste, but a beautiful tune. It's quite flavorful......
The whistle with a little exotic tune, a touch of sadness, and a trace of helplessness and indescribable melancholy lingered in the bottom of her heart, so that Miss Pan actually forgot to ask the teacher for a while.
Even Bai Shusheng and others, who had already taken out the melon seeds and were about to knock on the play, couldn't help but be a little stunned. "The young master's tone is very good, but it makes people feel uncomfortable in their hearts." After a while, Monk Chen touched his bald head and whispered his opinion.
Bai Shusheng also shook his head in the same way and said: "Although it is not an elegant sound, it is also a little sad, wonderful." These words were so sour that one of the pirates around him almost lost his teeth.
At the end of the song, the original provocative whistle music reminded Liang Pengfei of his previous life, this "Little Road" of the former Soviet Union is the whistle that his father's small voice likes to play in his ear, which makes Liang Pengfei After the end of the song, he was not in the mood to play a staring game with a little girl, turned around and walked to the side of the boat, looking at the undulating sea, the depression in his heart seemed to gradually disperse with the sound of the waves and the seagulls flying in the distance, and fled to the distance.
Pan Bingjie's wonderful eyes fell on Liang Pengfei's back, somehow, she felt that this young man who just looked tough was so lonely and depressed at this moment, it seemed to make people feel distressed......
--------------------
"Daughter, what's wrong with you? Is it because Dad didn't reprimand that boy for you? After telling Liang Yuanxia about the time and place of delivery, he returned to his ship with his daughter, and seeing that his daughter was a little silent, Pan Youdu couldn't help asking.
Pan Bingjie showed a pure smile, wrinkled her nose and said, "Of course, when the father sees his daughter being bullied, he doesn't pay attention." The soft voice seemed to have been soaked in a honey pot for more than a year, if Young Master Liang stood next to him and eavesdropped, he might be there again to raise his fingers and count the advantages of Lori.
Pan Youdu couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter, in Guangzhou, how many young and handsome men see my daughter, but they can't turn their eyes, you have just turned fifteen, I'm afraid that in another year or two, the threshold of our family will be flattened by those matchmakers." ”
"Dad, you know how to make fun of your daughter." Pan Bingjie couldn't help blushing, shaking her father's arm and coquettishly, and her heart shook Liang Pengfei's appearance, and she couldn't help pouting: "Dad, the Liang family that is connected to the sea is obviously a sea...... Why do you still do business with them? ”
Pan Youdu turned his face to look at his daughter, and said in a serious voice: "What? Can't do business with pirates? Good daughter, there are many kinds of pirates, and some of them you can not only do business with, but even make friends...... Don't underestimate pirates, and don't underestimate the Liang family, you know. ”
Pan Bingjie flattened her mouth, and still asked a little unwillingly: "Dad is afraid of them?" ”
"Afraid? Hehe, this is not, there are rules and regulations, each has its own way, we foreign businessmen, if we really want to say that we are afraid, there is only the court, the pirates are just robbing our money, the money is gone, we can make it again, but the court is ......" Pan Youdu sighed, between his eyebrows, he couldn't touch a faint gloom, and smiled: "My good daughter, in this world, good and bad are the most difficult to distinguish." In my father's eyes, Boss Liang is not bad, or in other words, he can be regarded as a good businessman with a good reputation. ”
"But I think that stupid boy of the Liang family is bad." Pan Bingjie remembered Liang Pengfei's hot eyes, her face couldn't help but burn, and she tugged at the corner of her clothes angrily.
Pan Youdu almost laughed out loud, but when he saw his daughter's expression, he quickly pretended to have an expression of hatred and hatred: "That's right, good daughter, next time I meet such a young man, my father will beat them all up and hand them over to the government." ”
"Dad, you're teasing your daughter again, hmph, I won't talk to you anymore." Pan Bingjie was about to nod, but when she saw her father's strange expression, she couldn't help but stomp her feet and keep silent, which made Pan Youdu laugh endlessly.
When Pan Bingjie looked back, she saw the sea ship that had turned away, and the tall young man was standing at the bow of the boat, and the melody with sadness and melancholy just now seemed to be echoing in her mind again......
--------------------
The mother really feels sorry for Liang Pengfei's son, at least, from Liang Pengfei's belly that seems to be pregnant for three or four months, as soon as she entered the house, she asked her mother Ye to hold the red circles under her eyes and look at the half-pillar of incense, confirming that her son was still alive and jumping without missing a single hair before giving up, and then, bringing the meal made by herself, she pressed Liang Pengfei and his father Liang Yuanxia to finish eating a whole table of dishes, and the father and son rolled their eyes, and the mother let go of the two with a sense of accomplishment.
No wonder this little guy is so strong with his father's body, and the love is all filled in by Ye's cramming method.
Maybe it was because he was too supportive, or maybe it was because he had just gotten off the ship, and he couldn't close his eyes when he was lying on his bed, so he simply got up and thought about how to make his rebellion plan of the traverser more perfect, more likely to succeed, so that he could accumulate a lot of wealth in a short period of time, and at the same time, he could also obtain talents and enough manpower.
Rebellion is not a job that can be done with lip service, but after careful planning, accurate prediction, and risk avoidance, for this, Liang Pengfei continued to shamelessly pretend to have amnesia. also took advantage of these opportunities to learn from my father how much amazing wealth the old Liang family, who was also a businessman and a thief, had accumulated.
Liang Daguan may feel that his son is really mature, and even took the initiative to reveal a lot of information to Liang Pengfei.
There are more than 4,000 acres of land alone, dyeing and weaving workshops, tea factories, shipyards, bronze workshops, iron workshops, shops in the city of Guangzhou, and even a coal mine. And Liang Pengfei secretly estimated that these industries could be worth more than 10 million taels.
Dad told Liang Pengfei very secretly, those businesses on the surface are just the tip of the iceberg, although Dad did not disclose the specific figures, but, according to estimates, the Liang family, who has been pirates since Daddy's grandfather's generation, is five generations to Liang Pengfei's generation, and this kind of shady wealth is definitely several times that of the business on the surface.
The industry of more than 10 million taels of silver, in Guangzhou, a place where wealthy businessmen gather, such wealth is not inconspicuous, and it can even be said that it can only be regarded as a medium businessman, and because the old Liang family made a fortune as pirates, and the business is not outstanding, so they can only slowly transfer those secret wealth to the light little by little.
Liang Pengfei easily understood what it meant, in a word, money laundering, putting illegal funds into a legal business process or bank account in order to disguise its original source and legalize it.
This kind of money laundering activity originally originated from Liang Pengfei's grandfather Liang Chenghei, and then, Liang Yuanxia worked hard to carry it forward, from the beginning of only buying land, and then began to enter the business world, buying shops and workshops, because the income from these businesses is not only higher than farming, but also faster, and at the same time, it can also allow those illegal funds to be transferred to the legal table more quickly.
The Liang family has such a strong foundation, but for Liang Pengfei, it is a good material foundation, with money, there will be people, and then there will be things, what he will do in the future is equivalent to having a strong capital and foundation.
However, for the arduous task of rebellion, even if there are really 30 or 40 million taels of cash, it is really too little, you must know that in the battle of Jinchuan, the Qing Dynasty spent more than 70 million taels of military spending alone, and the two rebellions lasted for nearly 30 years in total, running through the middle of Qianlong's reign.
Although Liang Pengfei knew that this was also because the officials of the Qing Dynasty made a lot of war money, and vigorously carried forward the spirit of eating and taking cards in all aspects of military spending, grain and grass, at least nearly half of the more than 70 million 200 silver fell into the hands of corrupt officials at all levels. So much so that Qianlong was mad, slaughtered two coaches one after another, and finally used Ah Gui as the commander, and finally ended this local war that cost the people and money.
There was also the Great Rebellion of the White Lotus Sect in the early years of Jiaqing, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty almost exhausted the last trace of vitality and wealth before the great uprising that lasted for six years was put down, which also made people see the decline of the Manchu Qing Dynasty clearly.
