Chapter 489: Suppression and Difficulty

"Five million dollars! all in cash?!" a surprised look appeared on Thomas's face. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Obviously, he cares more about money and payment methods than price.

You must know that Venezuela does not have a developed financial industry like European and American countries, and even gave birth to professional money laundering companies.

Not to mention money laundering here, even foreign exchange is regulated, so only cash is the safest.

Because according to the current economic situation, the exchange ratio of the strong bolívar to the US dollar is becoming more and more exaggerated, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it will exceed 3,000 to 1 or 4,000 to 1.

In the event of the collapse of the national currency, whoever has more dollars on hand at that time will become the king of the Caracas underworld.

For an ambitious gang leader, there's nothing more seductive than that.

Lu Li smiled and spread his hands and teased: "What, is there a problem? Or do you not like green cash?"

Thomas immediately shook his head: "No, don't get me wrong, I like cash very much, but I can't figure out how you managed to get a lot of cash through customs." As far as I know, the customs guys are all greedy vampires who will do anything to make a profit from foreigners. Especially you Chinese, every time you enter or leave the country, you will be singled out separately to deliberately find trouble, and you can't think of passing without paying a fine of a few hundred dollars. ”

"Oh, doesn't the Venezuelan government owe China tens of billions of debts, and their employees dare to make things difficult for the Chinese!" Lu Li asked with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Having lived in the United States for so long, he knows that there are usually only two groups that are hostile to the Chinese.

One is that the poor people from the bottom of society, especially blacks and Latinos, always complain that the Chinese have squeezed their living space and robbed them of their jobs, but they never think that their miserable lives are all due to their own laziness.

Can wisdom and diligence also be called a sin?

The second, more interesting, comes mainly from the traditional white elite, whose attitude towards the Chinese is more of a wariness than discrimination.

Because according to statistics, the graduation rate of the top 100 well-known universities in the United States, white people deserve to occupy the highest proportion by virtue of their population advantage, followed by Chinese, and the third is the turn of Jews who are crowned with the title of excellent nation.

Please note that the achievements of Chinese Americans are not in a fair environment, but in the case of desperate government suppression.

Taking SAT scores as an example, Chinese people need to score 100 points higher than whites and 300 points higher than blacks and Hispanics to get into a university.

What is a well-known university?

It is the cradle of cultivating the future ruling class of the country!

If whites were to be overtaken by another race in such a place, it would not be fifty years before the superstructure of the country would change dramatically, and the United States would no longer be the United States under the control of whites. The government can no longer represent the interests of white people.

It is precisely for this reason that all states in the United States have colluded to squeeze the right of Chinese to receive higher education, and even did not hesitate to move out of political correctness and give some admission places to blacks and Latinos who do not have enough scores.

Anyway, even if the latter enter the university, the possibility of graduation is very small, and there is no need to worry about them entering the upper class in large numbers.

In addition, with the reform and opening up, a large number of businessmen who got rich first began to go out of the world, starting a global business expansion, directly destroying the traditional industries in many regions, and those who went bankrupt because of this will naturally become the seeds of hatred and discrimination.

However, what makes Lu Li puzzled is that Venezuela, a garbage country that is in semi-collapse and waiting for someone to give it another life, has the courage to offend one of the richest groups in the world.

Thomas explained with a smile: "Hehe, the reason is very simple, on the one hand, your compatriots don't like to make trouble, and the first thing that comes to mind when you encounter trouble is to use money to solve the problem, such as stuffing some money into the police, which over time promotes corruption in government departments." On the other hand, they are indeed relatively wealthy, coupled with the shortage of various living materials, they can't support their families with the little salary paid by the government alone, and they must find a way to earn some extra money. By the way, didn't you get made difficult when you entered the country?"

"No, I was on the fast track and the staff in charge of security was polite. Lu Li shrugged his shoulders and replied.

"Fast track?!, you shouldn't have come by private jet!" Thomas's eyes flashed with envy and jealousy that could not be concealed.

As a mob boss who climbed from the bottom of the slum to where he is now, he knows all too well what it means to have a private jet, and he also deepens his heart to own one.

But unfortunately, the national situation in Venezuela determines that although criminal organizations here are very rampant, they will never become the climate, let alone buy fixed-wing aircraft, not even small helicopters.

Noticing the expression on the other party's face, Lu Li pretended to be calm and asked rhetorically: "Is it strange to have private jets? As far as I know, there seem to be a lot of rich people in Venezuela who own private jets and yachts, right?"

Thomas smiled wryly and nodded, "You're right! There are a lot of rich people in Caracas who have private jets, but the problem is that they will never do business with me." But you are different, not only do you dare to do business with me, but you also dare to tell me openly that you have five million dollars in cash on hand, aren't you afraid that I will rob you of you when I see the money?"

"In this world, no matter what business you do, you need to take risks, and the risks are proportional to the returns, and if you want to make a lot of money, you can't look ahead and backward. What's more, since I'm here today, I'm naturally mentally prepared. By the way, if something happens to me in Venezuela, the person behind it won't survive for three days. ”

There is no doubt that Lu Li's words are not a threat, but a description of a fact.

Whether it was the healing effect of the golden sea buckthorn fruit on terminal diseases, or the unique stealth of the black dragon's blood resin, or the secret transaction that was about to be prepared with the country, he obtained a talisman.

Don't look at the usual useless birds, but if anyone threatens his life, then this person will die a very miserable death 100%.

"Are you intimidating me?" Thomas asked, narrowing his eyes and in a threatening tone.

"No, you can interpret it as a kind reminder and exhortation between friends. Okay, don't put on such a scary face, now take me to see the goods, if it's okay, you'll get the money before dark. With that, Lu Li stood up and made a gesture of please, completely ignoring the malicious eyes of the two thugs at the door.
