462 Pablo
Chu Xiangqian collected all the grain in the dock warehouse area of Panama City, and let the watch around the dock warehouse for 3 days to make sure that there was no problem, and then flew to Mexico by plane.
Riding a horse to walk the border again, entering the United States, taking out a very ordinary pickup truck, and driving back to the ranch.
After a day off, I inspected the ranch canal project and the progress of the wasteland reclamation.
Then I went to the set of Universal Studios.
First chatted with Wrinkle Huai about the preparation of "Roman Holiday" and "Millie Girl".
The Roman holiday is almost ready, but if you want to shoot in Rome, you need to contact the Roman authorities first.
Get their permits to fly to Rome with the crew and actors.
Therefore, on the contrary, the speed of preparation for the musical "Millie Girl" was completely beyond Chu Qianqian's expectations.
Chu Xiangqian participated in the casting, and after determining the main role, he returned to the ranch to receive $7 million in cash from Ichiro Matsuno.
Then he looked at Ichiro Matsuno and said, "After I send the $7 million to Panama City, this business will be stopped for a while, so that the Drug Enforcement Administration will follow the Chicago mafia and target you." ”
Matsuno Ichiro, who was looking forward to getting higher and higher in the future, got more commissions.
Then he nodded in understanding, and the recent shipments from the Chicago Mafia must have been much more than before.
It's hard not to be noticed by the Drug Enforcement Administration, and for the sake of safety, you should really observe for a while.
"Understood, I'll take someone to Chicago to keep an eye on it."
Chu Xiangqian shook his head, "You leave this matter to your subordinates and take a different flight back to Hong Kong Island with me." I estimate that it won't be long before there will be a shortage of tiger bone wine and deer gum on the island side.
It's the business that's all that's important.
As for the transfer of funds for the mafia, in fact, the profit is not as high as imagined. ”
Matsuno Ichiro was stunned, but after thinking about it carefully, the boss took 3% of the commission and gave 5% to his team first.
But he and others are just collecting money and sending money in the United States and Panama.
The team that really shipped the money out of the United States must not be low in cost and risk.
Maybe the boss himself will only get 10%, at most 15% of the profit.
10 million is 1.5 million US dollars, so if you calculate it, the profit is really not high.
After all, the boss can earn tens of millions of dollars with a movie.
If you were yourself, you wouldn't pay much attention to this business.
As for why the boss wanted to buy grain, Matsuno Ichiro had long known that it must be because of the lack of grain in the Celestial Empire, so he had to buy grain from the rice country.
After the 7 million is handed over to Frank, Frank's side will ship 81,660 tons of wheat worth $3 million to the dock warehouse in Panama City.
The three transactions add up to 126,000 tons of wheat.
This batch of grain is enough for five or six million people to eat for one or two months.
Stop for a month on your side, as long as there is no problem on the mafia's side, and then continue to get food from the mafia, and the storage is more urgent on the mafia's side.
"Understood", Ichiro Matsuno nodded, "I'll explain to the four of Tsuchiya and go to Chicago to keep an eye on." Leave one more to keep an eye on in Panama City.
I went back to Hong Kong Island myself. ”
Ichiro Matsuno's group, plus himself, is only 8.
Kumiko and Olivia had already followed Chu Xiangqian's side to protect them closely, and Ichiro Matsuno sent out 5 people to do things.
Indeed, he is the only one who has the leisure to return to Hong Kong Island and continue the business of tiger bone wine and deer gum.
Seeing off Ichiro Matsuno, Chu Xiangqian drove to the U.S.-Mexico border again, but this time he had a Peruvian passport and drove directly across the border checkpoint.
The people of the United States are worried about the smuggling of South Americans into the United States, but they do not check the people who enter Mexico from the United States.
Arrived in Panama City by plane, thinking that there were still a few days left, and when I was bored, I simply paid to learn to fly a plane.
Panama is extremely well-developed and convenient because of its canal shipping, financial services, and a large number of business people enter and leave the country every day.
Not only is the shipping industry developed, but there are also many private jets.
Chu Xiangqian easily spent money to find a flight school to learn to fly an airplane.
At the beginning, it was still a theory, Chu Xiangqian had the ability to never forget, and he was very good at remembering things.
In just one day, I finished the course.
Then he lied that he had studied before, and he could apply for the theory assessment after only 1 day of review.
The people waiting for the flight school looked at Chu Qianqian to answer a few papers, and got a high score.
Naturally, he agreed, and Chu Xiangqian said that he had learned things before.
However, if you want to fly on a plane in three days, it is also impossible.
Chu Xiangqian is not in a hurry, it is foreseeable that he should fly to Panama once every month or two in the future.
Unknowingly, on the day of the transaction, Chu Xiangqian put $7 million again in a guest room of the hotel where he was staying, and then informed Ichiro Matsuno to pick it up.
kept an eye on Ichiro Matsuno and his ninja men, and the handover to Frank was a success.
After the successful completion of the transaction, when Frank wanted to expand the transaction to $10 million again, Ichiro Matsuno shook his head, "I got the news that the Drug Enforcement Administration of the United States has noticed you."
Recently, let's stop for a while. And 7 million goods, enough for you to earn 10 million or 20 million in the United States.
And my boss said that so many goods appeared in the market one by one, and then suddenly listened to the words of a month or two. Maybe the price of flour will skyrocket.
If you sell it later, you should be able to make more money. ”
Chu Xiangqian just said that it was possible for the people of the United States to target Frank and them.
But when it came to Ichiro Matsuno's mouth, it became that the Drug Enforcement Administration had already targeted them.
Frank is not stupid either, not only knowing that the Drug Enforcement Administration will definitely follow a large number of goods to the market, but also began to target the forces in Chicago.
And while guarding against the Drug Enforcement Administration, you also have to guard against other forces near the Great Lakes, where Chicago is located, because a large number of new goods appear in the market to grab customers, and they begin to be hostile to the local mafia.
After stopping for a month or two, although Frank felt pity, he also knew that it was better to be cautious.
Of course, this is also because Frank and the boss behind him have recently made more money than in months, or even half a year.
If you add the 7 million goods purchased this time, ship them to Chicago and sell them, you can make 20 million at least.
That's more than you've earned in an entire year.
Once your appetite is filled, you can take the opportunity to enjoy yourself for a while.
Nodding at Ichiro Matsuno, "No problem, then you'll be calling me next month." When the time comes, if we don't match the code, something will happen.
Also, the next time I trade in Los Angeles, if it's $5 million or $10 million, I'll give you $5 million or $10 million and $1 cent.
If I didn't give you 1 yuan and 1 point, I was coerced by the Drug Enforcement Administration. or being coerced by other forces.
So, I want to make a deal with you.
Get me out of here, and I'll give you $1 million. ”
Ichiro Matsuno looked at Frank in surprise, and then his eyes were full of approval.
"No problem, we prefer to trust old friends rather than new collaborators." ”
Frank was overjoyed, and secretly said that after several transactions with these island people, he did have trust.
As long as these people still recognize themselves, if something happens in the future, they will have a chance to make a comeback.
Ichiro Matsuno then leaves Panama City, and Frank goes back to a seaside estate in Panama City to meet his business partners.
Pablo is very interested in the new Chicago partner that has popped up recently.
At this time, Pablo had just opened a sea route from Medellín to the United States.
This guy used to make his fortune by trucking smuggled goods, but as his truck fleet grew larger, it was no surprise that he was targeted by flour merchants.
First, he bought a truck driver, hid the goods in the tires of the truck, and after more than a year, God knows how many goods were shipped to the flour merchants.
Too many times, it was inevitable that the news would be leaked, and the convoy was stopped by the police, and after finding the flour, Pablo was almost killed for it.
But he narrowly escaped death, and one of his cousins died in a shootout.
After being depressed for half a year, Pablo, who had never touched flour and tobacco before, was ruthless, and he pinned his head to the waistband of his trousers anyway for his own smuggling business.
Why not do it yourself, the more lucrative tobacco and flour business?
With this idea, and the formation of the team, it is only necessary to gather the old guys.
Coupled with the familiarity with the road and the relationship along the way, it has been dotted a long time ago.
Within a few years, Pablo's business grew bigger and bigger.
Then the eyes were on the shipping and the cargo ships destined for the United States.
But it also meant that the competition was also growing, and after several shootouts and vendettas, Pablo was determined to form his own private army.
But I don't know how much money is consumed in this way.
Anyway, he has been very short of money and weapons lately.
Pablo attaches great importance to the new partners that suddenly appeared, and at the same time ponders how the Chicago mafia easily shipped money out of the United States.
If you can master this channel, or seek cooperation, let the people in Chicago help you to transport the cash from the United States to Medellin with the arms you helped to buy.
It won't take a few years for him to become the biggest force in Medellín.
Maybe in the future there will be a chance to run for mayor of Medellín, a member of Congress, or even the president of a country.
And Frank was on his way to see Pablo, thinking all the way, since the islanders wanted to keep a low profile for a while.
Is it okay for me to get 14 million or even 21 million US dollars of goods at one time?
This time, 7 million can be used as a deposit.
The rest of the money will be handed over to the other party in the United States, anyway, on the side of the United States, the godfather Russell is not short of the two million dollars in cash.
And the rest of the money was given to Pablo's people, and if they wanted to ship it out of the country, they could take the opportunity to make a profit from it.
Earn at both ends, no matter how you think about it, you feel that you are a fool if you don't do this business.
When Pablo and his cousin saw Frank, they asked for 21 million goods, and gave 7 million as a deposit.
I was excited in my heart, and then I was a little worried that I would not be able to safely transport such a large amount of flour to the other party on time.
Even the cousins were worried that they would not be able to gather so much flour for a while.
Then I had a headache with the balance I got in the rice country, and it was not so easy to ship it out of the rice country.
Thinking that Frank has been doing business several times and bringing in more and more money, needless to say, there must be safe channels.
It only took a few probes for Frank to hear Pablo's thoughts, and the two quickly reached an agreement.
In the future, Frank will be responsible for helping Pablo and bringing out the funds in their hands from the United States, with a commission of 3.5%.
But in reality, this is really not a high margin.
Some forces directly draw 5%.
Frank also took the opportunity to move, "Pablo, if you can, I want you to help me get 100,000 tons of grain, which will be stored in the dock warehouse in Panama City."
I will deduct this money from the commission in the future, if I don't withdraw the 100,000 tons of grain within 3 months.
You can bargain and sell it, and I will compensate you 20% of the total amount of food. Moreover, if you help me get food, I only need 3% of the cash that you will transport. ”
When Pablo heard this, he agreed without thinking about it.
Although it is possible to waste time and energy, it should not be difficult to sell the purchased grain at a price of 15%.
Not to mention that Frank also took the initiative to make half of the profit in the business of money laundering.
As for where to buy grain, it is not difficult at all to buy 100,000 tons of grain in Colombia and South American countries due to Pablo's smuggling background.
And Frank did this for the simple reason of buying food from Pablo and giving it to the islanders.
Then he can avoid the boss Russell, secretly buy flour, and ship it to the country to sell it himself.
For this part of the business, there is no need to pay Russell.
As for who the flour is sold to, anyway, the country is so big, and there are customers on the east and west coasts.
That's a lot more than half of the money laundering.
——
Chu Qianqian looked through the and saw Frank enter a manor by the sea, and after seeing Pablo sitting by the pool talking about business, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this guy was familiar.
After thinking about it for a few minutes, I suddenly remembered an American drama I had watched in my previous life.
The name is 'read' owl.
In it, he plays the main character of Pablo, and he looks exactly like the person he sees through his.
In Chu Xiangqian's mind, it soon emerged that in the TV series, in the early stage of Pablo's rise, because there was too much money to make.
He couldn't keep it in the bank, and in the end, he would take out a part of the money he earned from each transaction and bury it in the grass and under the trees of a dozen estates in Colombia.
I didn't expect that there was too much money buried, and this guy continued to bury it, while forgetting where a lot of money was buried.
Or simply soaked in the waterproof bag in which the money was packed by the rain, and the money rotted in the ground.
Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but think about it, let the follow Pablo for a few days, to see if he would take out part of the $7 million he received this time and bury it in the ground.
I can't say that in a year or two, I can go to Colombia alone to be a treasure hunter.
The 81,660 tons of wheat in the dock warehouse were collected again into the warehouse of the novice village, and Chu Xiangqian flew back to Tijuana City, Mexico.
This time back to the United States, the Peruvian passport is not so useful.
The only way to do this is to let the fly back first, ride again, cross the U.S.-Mexico border, and drive back to the ranch.
Let the fly back to Panama City and keep an eye on Pablo.
Unexpectedly, this guy returned to Medellín City with the money, and really buried some of the money in a manor outside Medellín City.
