Chapter 8 Preparations in Progress (4)
"This is Mr. Schneider. (Baidu search update is the fastest and most stable)"
That night, in the private room of a Chinese restaurant in downtown Guangzhou, Bai Kesi introduced several members of the preparatory committee to the firefighting experts who had just arrived directly from the airport.
"Mr. Schneider is European?" Looking at the sturdy, high-nosed and deep-eyed guest in front of him, coupled with this name full of European flavor, Tao Donglai couldn't help but wonder a little, could it be that Bai Kesi really planned to pull a foreigner into the gang!
However, somewhat unexpectedly, this Schneider's Chinese actually said very authentically: "No, no, no, although I have one-eighth German ancestry, I think I am undoubtedly a Chinese like you, please pay attention to my eyes, I have black eyes like you, as for my appearance...... I think it can only be explained by a genetic mutation. By the way, my surname is Shi, and Schneider is not a transliterated name, but my real name in Chinese. Kindness and generosity, hard-working patience, and virtue with both ability and political integrity. ”
Tao Donglai secretly scolded in his heart, "The fake foreign devil still knows how to drop the book bag", forced the idea of asking him what the relationship between him and Shi Nai'an was, and invited everyone to sit down together.
After three rounds of drinking, Schneider took the initiative to start talking: "I heard that you are preparing to go to an undeveloped place to do a big business, I don't know if there is anything I can serve?"
"But it's very likely that we won't return to this civilized society after we go to that place, doesn't Mr. Shi have any worries about this?" Although he already has the idea of pulling Schneider into the gang, the necessary temptations must be done before that. As the head of the team, Tao Dong is naturally responsible for this work.
Schneider grinned, showing neat white teeth: "I have long been tired of the current deceitful society, for me, the world four hundred years ago was as pure as heaven!"
Tao Donglai also smiled: "Ming people don't say dark words, if Mr. Shi has any ideas, you might as well say it directly, it's not interesting to go around in circles and waste everyone's time." ”
Schneider shrugged and said, "Okay, then I'll get straight to the point." For some reason I had to stay incognito for a long time, and if I didn't, I would risk my life. Suppose I had to find a place to hide, would there be a better alternative than another plane? Of course, as a seasoned financial practitioner, I believe that my expertise will definitely help you in your career, and I can be a help to you rather than a burden. ”
Several people present exchanged glances with each other, and they all turned the same thought in their hearts, it seems that this guy has committed a lot of things, this is to defect to the revolution, and it is clear that he is looking for a place to escape!
Tao Donglai coughed dryly and said, "With all due respect, Mr. Shi, you ...... It can't be a murder on your back, right?"
"Killing? no, no, no! Of course not! I'm a very kind person!" Schneider blushed and argued, "I just happened to have some operational mistakes at work, which caused some ...... to some important customers. A small loss. (Baidu search update is the fastest and most stable)"
Schneider probably knew that such a statement was really difficult to have enough credibility, so he quickly changed the topic: "Mr. Bai specially called me to come from Shanghai as much as possible, there must be something that can make me contribute, right?"
Tao Donglai nodded and said, "I won't tell you, our preparations have encountered financial difficulties, I wonder if Mr. Shi has a way to solve it?"
Schneider muttered: "If the amount is not large, it is very simple, three or five million can be taken out now......"
"If that's the case, we won't be in a hurry to invite you to Guangzhou. Becks interrupted Schneider: "Our financial difficulties may be much bigger than the number you said!"
"Oh, that's not a problem, I have a lot of ways to get money, but first you have to sue me, how much time can you give me?" Schneider's reaction to the question of the financial profession was much calmer than before.
"We are tentatively scheduled to move in March or April next year, but by the end of this year at the latest we have to complete the preparation of the main supplies, because the last few months of our work will be focused on collective skills training, and what we need now is to get as much money as possible by the end of the year. Tao Donglai did not put forward a specific number and time limit, wanting to take this opportunity to see if Schneider could come up with some dry goods.
This time, Schneider was silent for a long time, and it was not until Ning Qi and Yan Chujie were about to lose their patience that he slowly spoke: "On the premise of recklessness, I think I should be able to get 20 million yuan by the end of October, and if I am lucky enough, I can probably get about 10 million by the end of the year...... I can assure you that no less than $25 million will be available by next year's operation. This is really because the time is too short, and if it were longer, we could have more flexible means of operation. ”
In fact, this figure has exceeded the expectations of the preparatory committee, but Tao Donglai has a little doubt about his statement: "I am very satisfied with this number, but I want to know what you mean by recklessness?"
Schneider patiently explains: "Generally speaking, the most effective way to solve the problem of funding shortfall in a short period of time is debt financing. But I think you are all desperately trying to deal with the fixed assets in your own name now, and it is not so easy to get a huge mortgage loan through the guò bank, and even if you can get away with some money in the end, I am afraid that time will not allow it. Everyone knows that I am doing foreign trade, in fact, foreign trade orders themselves can be used to finance loans, if the base of these orders is large enough and the operation is appropriate, then it is not difficult to get a large amount of short-term loans. Of course, recklessness means that we don't intend to repay these loans at all, which is a form of financial fraud. ”
Schneider frowned when he caught a glimpse of Tao Donglai, and immediately continued to explain without waiting for him to ask: "Boss Tao doesn't have to worry that this will cause unnecessary trouble, because the object of my financing will not be in China at all. When I was doing cross-border tax audits at Deloitte & Touche Tohmatsu, in order to help some clients obtain export tax rebates, I registered a number of leather bag companies in many countries, and these companies have complete procedures and legal transaction records, which is perfect for implementing my plan. Countries in Southeast Asia, such as Vietnam, the Philippines, and Indonesia, where their laws are not perfect, have unimaginable loopholes. The flow of this money will be very hidden, and it will take at least five cross-border transfers to guò before it enters your designated account, and no one will be able to trace it in the short term. ”
Schneider's plan sounds convincing, and it stands up to scrutiny in the details, and cooperation should be the best choice for the organizing committee, which is in dire need of money. After discussing some specific operational issues, the two sides basically reached a cooperation agreement: the Preparatory Committee and Schneider each contributed half of the funds to implement the plan, and after the completion of the event, Schneider could obtain a temporary member seat on the Preparatory Committee and lead the financial work of the entire Crossing Group. Of course, this plan must be carried out under the supervision of the Preparatory Committee in the name of help. In Yan Chujie's words, the preparatory committee could not be put on the table by Schneider, a mixed-race liar, before he could deceive others, so the specific supervision work was undisputed to Yan Chujie and his group of paramilitaries.
But before the forum could argue about whether the crossing group should maintain the purity of Chinese ancestry, the news that Gu Kai brought back from the United States caused an uproar, and it was said that a small team of four Chinese and two foreign devils were introduced by Gu Kai and intended to join the crossing plan. At this time, the forum was fried, and keyboard patriots advocated that "if you are not of my race, your heart must be different", and some radicals claimed that they should expel "banana people" like Gu Kai and Schneider from the team.
However, the members of the Preparatory Committee, who really have the right to review and approve the work, do not think so, not because the spirit of internationalism has played a role, but because these people are indeed rare talents, and the Preparatory Committee has no way to drive people out of their hearts.
Among these six people, two American foreign devils are doctors, specializing in surgery and cardiovascular medicine respectively. Three of the other four Chinese are studying engineering, two are mechanical manufacturing and one is chemical, and the remaining one is a professional engaged in the study of astronomy, which seems to be of little use, but it is rare that this guy has actually participated in the famous Vendee solo round the world yacht race three times, to say that the actual sailing experience, the current crossing team is unparalleled, and even the two graduates of Dalian Maritime University are only willing to bow to the wind, such a talent for the team can be said to be self-evident.
Yan Chujie, who has always had nationalist tendencies, was also relieved after carefully reviewing the resumes of the small team, saying that "a small number of non-Chinese talents can be introduced in a planned way." This is not a private bribe given to him by the interviewer, but the qualifications of others make him not to be underestimated. Three of the six, including two foreigners, had served in the military, and the other six were all members of the NRA, the National Rifle Association, and fired more than 2,000 rounds of live ammunition every year. Although they have not officially been on the battlefield, they have already possessed the basic combat skills of infantry and have received formal CQB (indoor close combat) training. This has greatly exceeded the requirements of Yan Chujie's military training plan for the basic militia level, and it was properly a special operations squad 400 years ago.
In addition to their professional skills, these people have the status of members of the National Rifle Association, which can also allow the organizing committee to obtain highly professional opinions in the next arms purchase, and save a lot of unnecessary trouble in the purchase process. After thinking about it, the preparatory committee couldn't find a reason to keep these people out, so Yan Chujie's military police department finally expanded its strength logically. The vast majority of members chose to accept the information released by the Preparatory Committee after seeing the overseas legion information, and only a very small number of members of the "Nurse Guard" still clamored to "swear to protect the purity of the bloodline of the next generation of the nurse sister". But what everyone didn't expect at this time was that it was this talent introduction that laid the foundation for the "non-Chinese group" formed later among the people.
