Chapter 372: Underground Trade

As the largest shareholder of Edge Bank, Sister Ban has advantages that no one else has, especially on the territory of the Edge Planet and the Independence Army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Independence Army is the so-called Chen Yong Rebels, and everyone has a lot of dealings with them on the black market on the edge planet, and it is not appropriate to always call them rebels and rebels, so they were later given a name that didn't sound very bad, the Independence Army. The Independence Army did not contradict this name, and by default, it was continued to be used, and everyone called it that.

The daughter of Chen Yong, the biggest leader of the Independence Army, and the most reputable bank on the black market on the edge planet, it is too easy to enter the territory of the Independence Army. Moreover, although the edge bank itself is registered on the edge planet, this is originally the head of the Federation, and it is naturally easy to enter the Federation.

Hearing the news that the class sister said, Zhao Li was not surprised at all, but felt that it should be taken for granted. If the business methods of the class sister and the relationship she has so many can't expand the industry, it will be strange.

Now Sister Ban said that someone was investigating the edge bank, and it must have been done in other parts of the federal territory after Sister Ban expanded her industry. On the territory of the edge planet and the Independence Army, there is no one who dares to be so blatant, right?

"What are they investigating? Who is it? Zhao Li has already regarded Ban Yunchan as his own woman, and naturally she will not let her industry have any mistakes, so these will definitely be asked.

"There are a lot of people, there are people from the government, there are competitors from other banks, there are some business organizations and some business intelligence organizations." Ban Yunchan doesn't pay much attention to these people, although she is opening a bank, after all, she is also doing business. Since it is a business, it is very normal to have these people investigating.

"What's the trouble with these?" Although Zhao Li does not have the high business talent of the class sister, he also knows a lot of things. These surveys are all too normal.

"There's nothing wrong with that, it's normal." Sister Ban smiled, but these words were not enough for her to tell Zhao Li: "It's other people who are in trouble." There were two groups of people who did not know the number of roads, and one of them suspected that they were from the military. ”

"The military?" Sure enough, Zhao Li frowned when he heard this: "What does the military do when investigating a commercial bank?" And a group of people who don't know which side of the force? ”

"It's just speculation, my people can't tell where they come from, and these people are well-organized, and they once wanted to catch a live mouth and ask, but they didn't have a chance at all." Ban Yunchan is also guessing and can't be sure, so she will discuss it with Zhao Li. Now Zhao Li's identity is special, and there are some things that it is better to ask for his opinion.

"Just investigating?" Zhao Li thought about it and did not express his opinion directly. If you want to know if the military is investigating, it's very simple, Zhao Li only needs to say hello to the Ministry of Military Intelligence and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but Zhao Li still wants to know if these people have any other intentions.

"For now, it's just an investigation, and no further action is taken." Ban Yunchan nodded, but still warned Zhao Li: "However, I suspect that some people have begun to suspect that the bank's source of funds is illegal, and they want to open a breakthrough from this." ”

Sister Ban is a wise person, and without great certainty, she would never make such a guess to Zhao Li. Just as he suspected that one of the two groups was from the military. Zhao Li was very familiar with the character of the class sister, and knew that she would not easily draw conclusions, and after listening to her guesses, his face became solemn.

"Is there any problem with the source of funding?" Zhao Li couldn't help frowning, but Zhao Li couldn't think of a reason why the class sister would leave such a flaw for others.

"There is no problem here, anyway, when it was registered, there was only a mere 5 billion registered principal, and the profit of energy additives was enough." Ban Yunchan really won't leave anyone with any other problems, when it comes to money laundering, if Ban Yunchan admits the second, it is estimated that no one will dare to admit the first. Most of the funds of an HSBC bank can be easily hidden by him, and this is only a few billions, not to mention it.

"That's good." Zhao Li also relaxed, as long as there was no problem in this regard, there would not be too many things. If the other party just wants to use commercial means, then Zhao Li will not care.

"The Edge Planet is so much to watch right now." Ban Yunchan looked at Zhao Li's relaxed face and gently reminded him.

"I know, but I can't help it." Zhao Li also sighed, if it weren't for the theft of tens of thousands of tons of military supplies last time, he wouldn't want to push the edge planet to such an eye-catching position.

For the government, an underground trade market of this magnitude that could do business with the Independence Army and swallow huge amounts of loot, and that it was also a legal market, was not something they would like to see. It's just that on the surface, they can't find a little problem, after all, it is reasonable and legal, who allows the edge planet to have its own law, this is a problem left over from history, and they have no way to solve it.

However, it is a paradise for the chaebols who are desperate for money laundering and criminals who are eager to sell their stolen goods. As long as the goods arrive here, they are legitimate private property. A large amount of money, turning around here, is a legitimate personal asset. Although the service fee charged is expensive, it is not worth mentioning in terms of the risks of other methods.

Those who can go to the edge planet to launder money or sell stolen goods basically don't care about the government's inventory on the way to the edge planet. The universe is too big to guarantee that it can completely block a planet, especially a prosperous planet where tens of thousands of large transport ships take off and land every day.

As for those pirates who sell stolen goods on a large scale, they are even more afraid of those so-called anti-smuggling ships. Anyway, as long as you enter the airspace of the edge planet, there will naturally be no trouble, and everything is automatically legal. The laws of the edge planet stipulate that no more than a certain number of troops can enter the edge planet, which has become the most stable umbrella.

These obvious benefits are nothing compared to the unseen ones. If nothing else, an unimpeded trade route with the Independence Army alone could turn the edge planet into a sweet spot that careerists desperately want to control.

On the planets controlled by the Independence Army, each has some rare specialties, and like the special metals controlled by the federal military, there are a few of them, but they are the key materials most needed by the control center of high-level warships. The federal military strictly controls the export of special metals to the Independence Army, and the Independence Army also holds on to those critical supplies.

This stalemate, in which each side holds on to each other's weaknesses, is often a key to peacekeeping agreements. Coincidentally, the accident of the material management system allowed the independent army to obtain a large number of urgently needed military supplies, and its strength increased significantly.

In order to maintain the balance of power between the two sides, it became imperative to obtain sufficient control materials from the independent army. Zhao Li is also a high-ranking figure in the military now, so he knows the inside story very well.

Under the control of the Independence Army, there are not without risky figures, and they also need a channel to sell their stolen goods. Edge Planet became their black market of choice. Not only is the market huge, but it is also safe and reliable, and it has a very outstanding reputation in both the Federation and the Independence Army. What cannot be obtained or digested from formal channels can be safely and legally achieved from here.

There are already people on the edge planet who have begun to sell out the specialties of the planet under the control of the Independence Army, which is definitely good news for the military. In particular, for the clique under the command of Li Liqing, it is a great joy. The edge planet is firmly controlled by Zhao Li, and the most reputable bank on the edge planet is almost opened by Zhao Li's family, what kind of materials do you want? Moreover, the closest to the edge planet is General Lucas's Journey Military Region, all of which are in the line of Commander Li Liqing, even if others are envious, they have nothing to do.

Naturally, the special status of the marginal planet has also led to the more and more stable positions of Zhao Li and General Lucas, and at the same time, it will also bring many people's eyes. Although there is no way to win over Zhao Li and Lucas at this time, it is not difficult to try to extend his power into the edge planet.

Legitimate business practices have never been banned on the edge planet, so it is very normal for commercial organizations to enter the city. However, the huge benefits have attracted the covetousness of financial-related industries, such as other banks. Ban Yunchan has guessed some clues from some of the recent investigations of Edge Bank, and reminded Zhao Li in particular.

"Be careful yourself, don't be too public-minded lately, and send more people to protect yourself." Zhao Li comforted Ban Yunchan again and hung up the communication. Although he knew that Ban Yunchan was also a master no less than himself, he had never seen Ban Yunchan make a move, so Zhao Li still subconsciously asked Ban Yunchan to bring more guards to protect him.

For the class sister, Zhao Li no longer expresses his emotions with gratitude. Last time, his parents were almost threatened by the lieutenant general of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it was he who saw Ban Yunchan's original guard in the camera, so he was relieved to attack boldly. Afterwards, when Zhao Li thanked the class sister, he learned that the class sister actually directly hired a super high-level underground mercenary of thirty people, and hid near Zhao Li's house twenty-four hours a day to protect Zhao Li's parents.

These people all approached Zhao Li's parents through various means, and some even pretended to be husband and wife and became their neighbors. This underground mercenary group is all masters of the eighth level and has not served in the army, and all of them are hired by the class sister.

When Zhao Li asked how this kind of master could be found by the class sister, the class sister smiled at Zhao Li for a while before saying something that made Zhao Li a little embarrassed.

"Or in your eyes, the invincible ones in the world are the top masters like the headmaster and the old prison warden. However, in my eyes, it is different, the most powerful is not the master, but the money! The class sister emphasized the word money very exaggeratedly.

"Money?" Zhao Li also laughed when he heard this.

"That's right, money! Hundreds of millions of dollars in money. Sister Ban explained with a smile: "As long as you have enough money, you can crush a top master to death with money." Needless to say, hire a bunch of masters. ”

No matter how high an individual's ability is, he will do nothing in space. Zhao Li is very clear about this. There is also a limited recognition of this statement of the class sister, at least the class sister has found a group of masters to protect her family.

With feelings, coupled with this relationship, Zhao Li is more concerned about the affairs of the class sister. After talking to Sister Ban, Zhao Li directly contacted General Philip of the Military Intelligence Department to ask if the military had investigated the edge bank.

"There has been no formal investigation by the MIA." General Philip and Zhao Li were not polite, and after calling up the relevant task list and checking it, they replied directly to Zhao Li: "If anyone else investigates, or you can ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs." ”

After thanking General Philip, Zhao Li quickly got in touch with the new Minister of the Interior. Everyone is in a faction, although they are not very familiar, but they are all high-level, both sides attach more importance to this kind of private friendship, and Zhao Li still has a special training base in his hands, and the new chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs checked it very happily, and also told Zhao Li that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has not issued such a formal task in the near future, and no one has carried it out, and there is not even a sign of retrieving relevant content in the military system.

After getting such a result, Zhao immediately realized that this was not the military's intelligence agency investigating, after all, the people in the Ministry of Military Intelligence and the Ministry of Internal Affairs knew about the relationship between the Edge Bank and himself, and it was impossible to do this kind of investigation without a sound. The biggest possibility is that the intelligence department of a certain military region has acted in private.

Sister Ban herself grew up in the military system, and her feeling could not be wrong, there must be someone from the military involved, and it could only be the intervention of the federal military. Moreover, it is unlikely that it is the commander of Li Liqing's lineage, this kind of fighting in the nest is a taboo, and after people know it, they will definitely be severely punished or even abandoned within the organization.

As for the other group of unknown people, Zhao Li vaguely felt that it might be related to the mysterious organization he had been tracking. After all, if that organization is to function properly, it must need a large amount of money to support it. It is impossible for the fringe planets and fringe banks to be able to obtain large amounts of funds in a reasonable and legal way without arousing their covetousness.

For a while, Zhao Li suddenly felt a little headache, and this kind of troublesome trouble came one after another, making people overwhelmed. If this continues, it seems that he can only deal with these troubles all day long, where will he have time to concentrate on cultivation?

It seems that it is really necessary for Kang Hongyuan and them to enter the political arena of White Bird as soon as possible, with this old man here, he doesn't have to spend so much effort to headache these things.
