Chapter 314 (1/2)
”Yes, ba005 is a private aircraft white swan. In fact, it is a Concorde B aircraft. Its engine and trim tank have been modified. The engine efficiency has been improved by one quarter and the fuel load has been increased by three quarters. Therefore, it can realize intercontinental flight. It only takes more than 8 hours from the United States to the Republic of China -”
Mary, the reception manager of the VIP Hall, smiled and nodded. She just glanced over the group and found that there was no figure of Zheng Jianguo, so she didn't respond to Benny Bard's questions.
However, although Mary held the idea of conservative privacy, Adam next to her said: ”in order to reduce the weight and increase the strength, the main structure of the aircraft has been replaced with titanium alloy, and Kevlar bulletproof materials have been laid outside the fuel tank to increase safety. The braking of the wheels and tires is also redesigned. This white swan can buy two Concorde --”
”Zheng Zhen is so rich that he has more money than the Ewing family in the rich family -”
Looking at the figure of the plane taxiing out of the window, Benny flashed the idea in his mind, but he didn't expect to see the amount remitted into the anonymous account: ”3.2 billion -”
”Really use such a large amount of Funds -”
Rao learned about Zheng Jianguo's fortune for several days in a row. After seeing the specific amount, Benny was still dazzled by the series of zeros: ”this is cash -”
”Benny, boss entrusted Raymond accounting firm to track the whole operation process -”
Charlie, who also glanced at the string of zeros, recovered quickly. The money was still earned by him, but it was as high as 4.3 billion at that time. However, when he thought of the action to be started soon, he was also worried: ”short the oil contract -”
”Short oil contracts?”
Benny Budd almost couldn't believe his ears. After his voice increased by more than ten decibels, he found that Adam, who was drinking coffee next to him, attracted his eyes. He quickly remembered something and said, ”does he know what news?”
”This matter is still confidential, but I'll tell you later, that is, in half an hour -”
Charlie looked at the watch on his wrist and said that Benny subconsciously looked at his wrist. He quickly made a choice: ”no problem, just give money -”
”Then sign it.”
Next, Adam, who was drinking coffee, quickly put down his cup and pushed the folder next to Benny. The latter looked at the agreement above and waved to the assistant next to him.
Five minutes later, Benny picked up the pen, signed his name on it, left his share, and said to Charlie, who was silent next to him, ”can you say it now?”
”A few minutes left -”
Looking at dozens of people in the brightly lit hall next door, Charlie didn't expect the ugly accounting firm partner to have this relationship. Of course, considering the other party's identity as an accounting doctor of Harvard Business School, it's natural to know some strange people: ”are the people over there reliable?”
”Reliable and unreliable have long been planted in the sea as lotus flowers. These people come from all over the world. They all come to travel -”
Finding that Charlie looked a little different, Benny thought he didn't believe himself, so he continued: ”if Augustus didn't let me come, I would never trust your boss so soon. Who knows if he is a chess piece of IRS?
But it doesn't matter if it happens. It's nothing more than paying taxes within a time limit plus a fine. But who can get the information of these accounts? ”
”Augustus?”
Charlie silently wrote down the name in his mind. He was not an accountant, but he also knew the IRS punishment for tax evasion. As Benny said, after finding the evidence, he would first ask for supplementary taxes and fines.
If you really want to arrest people, you still have to do it after being rejected. The purpose of IRS is to collect taxes to the greatest extent. If you don't have money to pay taxes after being warned, it will prove that the target really has no money, and it's time to arrest people.
However, considering that he is the FBI and is now in Switzerland, a permanent neutral country, Charlie has no law enforcement power as required. Even when he returns home to report to the IRS, he has to say the legitimacy of the account information in his hand.
Just like this, we have to face a problem. When did the FBI begin to intervene in the tax function of the IRS?
Moreover, the FBI has no overseas law enforcement power, which is the only right of the CIA.
So he, the FBI, risked exposure to interfere in the authority of the CIA for the sake of the IRS——
First, he thought of his task or to ensure that Zheng Jianguo did not have access to the cutting-edge technology of the United States. Then Charlie thought about the consequences of doing so and threw the idea out of his mind.
As long as Zheng Jianguo does not steal the cutting-edge technology of the United States, it will not damage the interests of the United States. What's more, the high oil price is the real culprit of damaging the American economy?
”Hey, Charlie, it's time --”
As Adam's voice came, Charlie looked back at the watch on his wrist, leaned forward and looked back at the traders who had sat down in front of the telephone. He opened the door, walked in, looked at 20 or 30 pairs of dark eyes and said, ”now open a short position with 20 times the leverage to sell oil contracts and start to transfer into the margin --”
”20x lever! $64 billion – ”
The face of Augustus flashed in his mind, and Benny wiped the beard on the corner of his mouth. He had vaguely remembered the faces he had contacted at the last party. It was only this idea that flashed, and the voices that came and went in his ears disappeared in an instant. He found that Charlie had closed the door: ”why don't you look at it?”
”Don't read it now. Just wait for instructions -”
Shrugged and sat at his desk. Charlie put his legs on the table and picked up a newspaper to read. When he found that it was Latin, Adam next to him had turned on the TV and found out the financial channel after a few times.
At the same time, in the digestive center of Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Zheng Jianguo also left a note and went to the TV at the reservation desk. Under the gaze of the little nurse, he changed the channel to the financial channel: ”these are deceptive and nothing to watch -”
”Hum, you just want to watch the finance and Economics station. Are you speculating in stocks -”
The little nurse's voice was a little loud, but Zheng Jianguo didn't hear it. He looked at the price below the TV host: ”the oil contract fell 18 cents after the opening of the market. Another anonymous senior Soviet said that they have expanded their production capacity and strive to increase by one third on the basis of 5 million tons exported last year, so as to strive for the reduced oil export volume caused by the unrest in Iran --”
”This is Augustus's arrangement -”
Zheng Jianguo was in a good mood when he saw the market fall by 18 cents at the opening. He fell from 33 dollars and 67 cents to 33 dollars and 49 cents. If he sold at the price of the former, the enlarged 64 billion funds could sell 1.9 billion barrels, and multiplying the 1.9 billion barrels by the 18 cents after the decline alone would be a revenue of 342 million——
If it is a quarter of the tax rate, you have to pay 80 million tax. If it is a 10% comprehensive tax rate, it is 34.2 million, and the gap between one in and one out is as high as 50 million.
”No wonder the richer, the more like tax evasion - tax avoidance.”
