Chapter 927 Money Laundering
Frankfurt, Germany.
The atmosphere was a little subtle, and Brian summoned his old subordinates without saying a word, and then he took his old subordinates to meet Anna Stagina.
Brian is going to demonstrate to Anna Stagina?
It's not right, but Polka summoned his old subordinates to take them to Anna to invite his wife to parade.
This person sometimes must not be too curious, so Yang Yi chose to stay away from Brian because, based on his understanding of Brian and Anna Stagina, Brian was killed by Anna, and even with his old subordinates, he was just here to deliver vegetables.
In order to greet him happily when we meet in the future, Yang Yi avoided Brian far away.
Fortunately, Yang Yi really has something important to do.
Although he could not show up, Boer still set up an office for himself, which was very large and comfortable.
Yang Yi sat on a single sofa dedicated to Boer, raised his legs and lowered the backrest, and lay down his whole body on the sofa.
Boer sat next to Yang Yi with a stack of documents.
"We now have 10.8 billion US dollars on our books, which are stored in sixty-one accounts respectively. This is a very, very large amount of funds that allow us to do a lot of things. If we can use it, this wealth itself is a powerful weapon, a financial bomb. I have an idea to talk to you carefully."
Yang Yi nodded gently and said, "You said."
"We have more than one billion dollars on our books, but if we only conduct black market transactions, it will still be more than one billion dollars. But if we want to spend money normally, we must launder the money. For example, if we use it to acquire a company, these guns must be laundered, so that our costs will increase a lot, at least ten percent. So, I'm wondering, why don't we launder money by ourselves? With our current capital stock, we can become a professional money laundering organization."
Yang Yi looked at Boer in shock, and then he shouted: "Do you want to launder money?"
"Yes."
"No, I like to eat beef, but I don't have to start with raising cattle. Some people raise cattle and sell meat. We make money to buy meat. Although the price is a little higher, it is better than paying the cost of raising cattle."
Boer said in a deep voice: "What I want to do is not save money laundering costs. What I want is to control the financial market in the underground world. Do you know how big this market is? At least more than 500 billion US dollars! The capital transactions in the underground world exceed 500 billion US dollars, and the black money that needs to be used after whitewashing can be used at least 300 billion US dollars. Why do many transactions have to be settled in cash? Because it is too difficult to launder money, many people give up laundering, or they have no way to launder money at all. But despite this, the underground world has hundreds of billion US dollars in funds every year that enter the circulation channel after whitewashing, that is, at least 100 billion US dollars in financial markets every year."
Yang Yi spread his hands and said, "But this market is very stable. Don't our money be transferred through the hands of money laundering organizations?"
Boer nodded, but he shook his head again and said, "The market for money laundering is large but not stable and immature. The world's big banks actually participate in money laundering. They know what the money is, but no one cares because no bank is willing to trade directly with criminals, that is, to directly take the money from which criminals. In simple terms, the bank is only willing to do later things, while the early things are scattered and completed by retail investors."
Yang Yi frowned and said, "I seem to understand what you mean. You plan to launder money, complete the front-end that the bank refuses to participate, and hand over the back-end matters to major commercial banks."
"Yes, we have funds, which is very important. Let me give you an example. We have $5.6 billion in revenue, but this is all unlaundered black money. If we want to spend this money, we need to go through a money laundering organization, but the amount of funds this money laundering organization owns is too small, only about $2 billion, which means that our nearly $6 billion needs to be divided into three times to complete the whitewashing. Money laundering is a very cumbersome process, and the whole process will take at least one month."
"So long?"
"Yes, our current model is to transfer 2 billion US dollars of black money, and the money launderers transfer 1.8 billion of clean money to us, so that we can get the money after the whitewashing in one day, and the price is 10% of the handling fee, but we have nearly 6 billion, so the money launderers can only give us money in three batches, because they only have such a large capital chain."
"The money laundering organization you are talking about is an underground bank or an underground bank, but isn't the amount of funds in the underground bank very large?"
"The amount of funds is very large, but you have to figure out that the transactions of underground banks are not money laundering. The focus is on the money after laundering. Do you understand? The largest underground bank can transfer hundreds of billions of dollars of funds, but an underground bank with tens of billions of dollars can use clean money that can be more than one billion dollars. This is normal, and we now have more than one billion dollars, which means..."
Boer exhaled, and then he said with a serious look: "Give me 10 billion US dollars. Within three years, we can become the largest bank in the underground world. We can occupy more than 30% of the money laundering market. You have an advantage. Your biggest advantage is that I am doing things for you. The second biggest advantage is that you have dozens of clean company accounts. The third biggest advantage is that you have more than 10 billion US dollars, and of which 5 billion US dollars are Swiss bank deposits!"
Yang Yi sighed and said, "Money laundering?"
"Yes, money laundering, an industry with extremely profitable profits, an industry with less competition, the most important thing is... please imagine it!"
Boer moved forward and was very close to Yang Yi. Then he said in a deep voice: "If you want to influence the status of the underground world, then you need to have strength. The largest intelligence provider is the Cicero family. You cannot shake the status of the Cicero family."
"Yes."
"The biggest arms dealer is Da Ivan. Even if you sell arms, you cannot replace Da Ivan. So are you planning to sell human beings? Do you want to become a world-class drug lord?"
"No, of course not."
"So are you interested in building an underground bank and controlling the financial markets of the underground world?"
Yang Yi thought for a while, then he reached out and pressed the control button of the sofa, put away his legs, sat upright on the sofa, and whispered to Boer: "We have a chance?"
“Absolutely!”
