Chapter 663: Alternative Gangsters (Part II)

"With $70,000 a year to get such a good service, maybe I should hand over all the taxes I pay to the federal government, at least you're much more efficient than the police and the courts, aren't you?" Lu Li casually joked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

As someone with a deep understanding of the polarization of American society, he knows very well how the country works, and why houses of the same size and style are only a few kilometers apart and can be sold at very different prices.

The reason is very simple, usually the government will give priority to the police to protect those high-income neighborhoods, after all, these relatively wealthy people are large taxpayers, and the vast majority of the government's financial expenditure comes from taxes, so protecting the rich is equivalent to protecting their own wallets, and many wealthy communities can even call 911, and the police car will arrive at the scene within three minutes.

Since the rich neighborhood wastes such a large amount of police force, the frequency of police patrols in the poor neighborhood is bound to decrease, and many times after the poor neighborhood calls the police, no police car arrives for more than ten minutes and half an hour.

Without the protection of law enforcers, all kinds of criminal activities naturally sprung up everywhere, and eventually led to the intricacy of gang forces, unless there is a major case, they will not care about small things like theft, robbery, the death of a few homeless people, etc.

It is precisely because of the extremely irrational distribution of police forces that places with good law and order are getting better and better, while places with poor law and order are getting worse and worse.

Take financially bankrupt Detroit as an example, where many places have now fallen into a state of anarchy, and the police do not even dare to enter the areas controlled by the gangs, allowing them to kill each other inside, grab land for turf, and sell drugs for drug trafficking.

In the same way, where there is good security, the price of land and houses is more expensive, and in places with poor security, no one may want to live in it.

There is only one life for everyone, and only those with a sick brain are willing to live under the threat of death every day.

Balthazar undoubtedly heard Lu Li's ridicule of the hypocritical politicians, and laughed happily, laughing and mocking: "That's right! The government and the police are a bunch of bitches!"

They always pay lip service to the good and apply double standards when it comes to enforcement, which is why violent crime in poor communities is so rampant.

But I'm different, I'm highly educated, and I understand that a relatively stable environment can attract investment and create wealth.

With the improvement of the security situation in several nearby streets, the strip clubs, bars, underground casinos and so on that I run can all earn a lot of money, plus the sale of narcotics and the commission of street women, it is not a problem to earn hundreds of thousands or millions a month.

With the money, I can recruit more people and buy powerful weapons so that those who spy on my territory will not dare to act rashly.

After a while, I will even be able to influence thousands of votes in this area, and get those ambitious politicians to come to me for cooperation.

Think about it, if I had chosen to stay in college and continue my studies, how many years would it have taken me to have a million dollars in savings after graduation?

How long will it take for me to come to my door with the politicians who are usually high up in the sky?"

Looking at this young man who was obviously forced to embark on the road of crime, Lu Li sighed helplessly and said: "Not long ago, a girl who grew up in a poor neighborhood said something to me, which I still remember vividly. She said that children from poor families want to get rich, either stealing, robbing, cheating, or selling their bodies, and want to make a lot of money without breaking the law, which is completely pipe dreaming, and your experience just validates her point. For the sake of this good story, I toast you. ”

"Hahahaha! That's the only way out for poor Americans!"

After drinking all the soda, Lu Li took out the checkbook from his suit pocket, wrote his signature and amount on it, and then tore it off and put it on the table.

"Here's a check for $70,000. I'm not a big fan of trouble, so I'll pay for the whole year at once. Don't worry, my check is 100% legitimate, and you can use it to invest in financial securities or buy real estate and make sure the IRS doesn't find any problems. ”

Staring at the thin piece of paper, Balthazar quickly stretched out his right index finger, put it on his chest and shook it: "No, Mr. Lu, I don't plan to ask for your money, but I hope to cooperate with you." ”

"Cooperation?!!Are you sure you're qualified to cooperate with me?" Lu Li raised his head sharply and looked into the other party's eyes.

"Qualifications are never something that can be obtained by waiting, but by doing everything you can. Maybe I'm just a little mouse in your eyes, but I'm sure you'll be a little interested when you hear about my plan. Whether or not an agreement can be reached in the end depends on what you want. Balthazar explained unhurriedly.

"Please, I'll listen. ”

Lu Li didn't refuse immediately, intending to hear what kind of conditions the other party could offer.

Anyway, it's still the same sentence, if there are more lice, it won't itch, and if there are more debts, you won't worry.

He now even dares to kill people from the CIA, not to mention this kind of small trouble that only involves judicial and criminal matters, even if it is found out in the future, it can be solved by hiring a few more big-name lawyers.

Balthazar didn't talk nonsense, and directly pointed to the bundles of cash in his handbag: "First, I hope to use this money to rent all the spare rooms in Carmel's apartment, and then you will hire the cleaning company I opened to clean up and tidy up the room." ”

"What do you mean...... Let me help you launder money?" Lu Li instantly realized the true purpose of this operation.

According to my research, about one-third to one-quarter of the rooms in Carmel apartments are generally empty and fully utilized. What's more, such an operation is completely reasonable and legal, as long as we pay taxes on time, the judiciary has nothing to say at all. Balthazar generously admitted.

Lu Li nodded thoughtfully: "It's really a good idea to let your people pay the rent in cash, and then transfer the money to your name in the name of hiring a cleaning company to completely legalize the income." But what do I get by doing that?"

"After deducting various taxes, you can get 10% for every money I launder, and my cleaning company will really clean up, which indirectly saves you expenses. ”

Balthazar had clearly long taken a fancy to the natural advantages of apartments in terms of money laundering and offered a rather lucrative offer.

Knowing that rents in New York are ridiculously expensive, it's possible to raise the rent of an empty house a little more, so that hundreds of thousands of dollars can be laundered into legal income every month.

Don't underestimate this, because legal income means that it can be used for investment, consumption, and serious business, which is an irresistible temptation for any gang boss who is determined to finally wash his hands on the shore......
