On the last day of June, the Germans defeated the Czechs and won the European Cup at the doorstep of the British. However, this was not the most shocking news in major newspapers on July 1st.
"...The mysterious man correctly guessed the scores of all European Championship games and won nearly 300 million pounds in prize money..."
"...The gaming group is discussing changes to the betting regulations. Betting on the next major event will not accept bearer account betting..."
"...289 million pounds has been transferred to the mysterious person's bearer account, and the amount of winnings accounted for nearly 20% of the total profit of the gaming group..."
Watching the news one after another, the gambling-loving fans became excited in unison. In just half a day, the story of someone winning 300 million in prize money through the European Championships spread throughout Western Europe, making everyone aware of it.
At this moment, Feilun, who was still staying in the hotel, muttered after checking the accounts: "Isn't it too cruel to cut off 15% of my money and use it to pay taxes? Now the tax is obviously 12%
A little bit."
In fact, the proportion of gaming tax collected by each British government is different. By the year 2000, the gaming tax in the UK had indeed risen to 15%. As a result, many large gaming companies formed gaming groups.
Offshore companies were established one after another, and the golden cicada escaped from his shell and no longer played with the British Prime Minister.
"Hey, forget it!" Feilun shook his head with a half-smile, "It was just an experiment at first, but I didn't expect that I won all the games. It seems it's time to apply for immigration... Dad, Mom, you two are doing well.
Okay?"
After making up his mind, Phelan, who originally planned to go to France to withdraw black money, immediately transferred the huge winnings from the bearer account to a new offshore company he opened under a false identity in mid-June, and then transferred all the money into
After opening three stock accounts in advance, I wandered around the stock market, buying and selling some sideways stocks in small batches with low volatility but high trading volume, and then withdrawn the funds to several other bearer accounts.
After getting all this done, Phelan finally made a rare appearance as a British person. He flew to Zurich, found a reliable UBS, opened an account under his real name, and deposited nearly one million pounds of black money that he had exchanged on the black market in various places.
Two hundred thousand pure Swiss francs. At the same time, he used one hundred thousand francs to acquire a small watch company in Zurich that had an independent brand but was about to go bankrupt.
As for the remaining 100,000, Phelan used them and the real-name UBS account where they were stored to open two watch agencies in Hungary.
In the final step, Phelan disguised himself as a buyer and found a small but officially licensed purchasing company in neighboring Austria. He signed each lottery transaction with the company using the ID card in the wallet of a passer-by.
They received an entrustment contract with a commission of ninety-five pounds, allowing them to order watches from two watch agencies in Hungary.
This is simply a good thing to get money for free. When signing the contract, the general manager of the purchasing company raised such a question. Phelan explained that this was because the tax rates in Austria and Hungary were relatively low, and he wanted to use this move to free up a number of high-end products.
Obviously, they won't lose any money, I just hope this matter won't be revealed.
Knowing that there were many purchasing agents of the same type in the local area, the manager did not dare to raise the price, but hurriedly signed the contract.
Before leaving, Feren got the company's commercial account and told him: "Your company only needs to place an order for high-end watches there. I have already cleared the order there. There is no need to specify the specifications of the watches on the order."
As for the money to buy the watch, it will all be taken from your company account at that time, and for every payment, ninety-five pounds will be left for you, so don’t worry!”
In the next month, as Phelan said, 10,000 funds for buying watches were transferred from several anonymous accounts to the company's account and then transferred out. By the end of the month, the company had made a net profit of 90
Fifty thousand pounds, the general manager of the company was so happy that he couldn't find anything.
As everyone knows, through these 10,000 operations, Phelan transferred the huge bonus to his real-name UBS account, and all he lost was 950,000 pounds and 10,000 high-end electronic watches with a unit price of only 5 pounds.
This round of money laundering and whitewashing cost Phelan tens of millions of pounds, but he still had 250 million in his UBS account, which was enough for him to squander for the rest of his life, so much so that UBS had to call him.
Remind him that he has been upgraded to a top VIP customer.
With top-level VIP rights, Phelan immediately opened three more UBS accounts, and these three accounts were bearer accounts provided by UBS specifically for top-level VIPs. He immediately transferred 50 million pounds each into three accounts.
At the same time, I also lamented that the conditions for opening a bearer account are very different in different banks. Some banks can be opened by individuals, but UBS requires VIP.
After returning to England, Phelan applied for immigration to the Hong Kong government using his "predecessor" British identity and the asset certificate issued by UBS. Although the return of Hong Kong is approaching, the mainland has secretly monitored the identities of immigrants entering and leaving Hong Kong Island.
However, Fearon's request was quickly approved, and by early August, he had received a written notice from the Hong Kong government.
It was delayed until the beginning of September. Fearon packed up his small luggage and took a flight to Hong Kong Island. He went to the relevant agency to get the identity document of the Hong Kong residents at that time. After settling down, he happily ran off to take the police examination.
But when it came time to fill out the registration form, Feren was dumbfounded because he did not have any academic qualifications, and the same was true for the assassin "Phelen". More importantly, even if he started to participate in police training from now on, he would be on the job after more than half a year.
, but it’s not yet July 1st to return, and it’s not easy to run to the mainland as a royal policeman.
Moreover, even if they return to the mainland and find their parents, the two elders are the type who do not allow strangers to enter. They must find a legitimate reason to get close. After thinking about it, Feren thinks about it, and they only have 01 years to go back to their hometown in Anton.
When I registered, I had such an opportunity by approaching him as a regular police officer.
After sorting out these clues, Feren immediately decided to go to university abroad. After a few years, he came back and directly applied for the inspector (trainee) examination with a high degree of education. He waited until the opportunity in 2001 to go back and "acknowledge his ancestors"!
As for which country to study in, Phelan thought about it for a long time and found that the only one suitable was the United States. Because he was a guy who made something out of nothing and had no previous academic qualifications, so he could only use money to open university doors. Among them, the United States, which has a lobbying bill, is the most suitable country.
convenient.
Lobbying exists in all walks of life in the United States. Even whoever the Oscar Award is awarded to can be lobbied. As a symbol of the traditional humanistic spirit of American academia, Harvard University, known as the cradle of the president, naturally engages in this trick. As long as the lobbying company persuades
The Harvard Board of Trustees believes that Phelan can still donate huge sums of money to the school after graduation, so Phelan's admission is almost a certainty, and he only needs to pass a pre-admission test.
Even for this entrance test, as long as Feren was willing to pay, the lobbying company could convince the professor who set the test to control the difficulty of the test questions to less than ten addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Therefore, Feren, who had made up his mind to study in the United States, went to the United States the next day.
After much effort, I contacted Abramov.
At this time, Abramov, the "godfather" of the lobbying industry, had just become famous in Washington. He originally heard that Phelan wanted to lobby him for even trivial matters such as admission to school, and he really didn't want to take the job. But when Phelan offered two hundred
Ten thousand pounds, he immediately replied: "Deal, just wait for my good news!"
"Then I'll call you half of the fee first, and then pay the balance after I get the confirmation!" Fearon also said on the phone in a humorous tone.
"no problem!"
As a result, the money was sent and it took four or five months to wait. After the Spring Festival of 1997, Abramov finally called back and said: "Please come to the United States in early June this year for an admissions interview."
Fortunately, Feren has not been idle in the past few months, and has absorbed two light groups from the Hidden Ring, "Communication Skills Proficiency and Experience" and "Financial Knowledge Proficiency and Experience". Later, he attended a charity dinner
I met Li Zhekai, the youngest son of Li Chaoren, the richest man in the city, by chance. The two people, who were ten years apart in age, hit it off immediately and soon became friends.
When Abramov called, Feilun was drinking tea in Li Zhekai's office. Seeing him hang up the mobile phone, Li Zhekai immediately complained: "Brother Fei, I've long heard that you have a lot of spare money, why don't you
Are you willing to lend me some?"
Fearon smiled and said, "You and Huang still have money to spare? Even if you don't have enough money, you can still chip in with Yingke, which is listed in the United States, right? Otherwise, you can get a loan from a bank, right?"
Li Zhekai shook his head and said: "Brother, to tell you the truth, the United States cannot move. I am planning the listing of Yingke on Hong Kong Island, so there must be no flaws in its performance. As for banks, they are currently in a wait-and-see mode at this time.
It’s okay to borrow less, but it’s okay to borrow more…”
Feilun thought for a moment and said, "Then how much do you want to borrow?"
"Can I borrow one billion Hong Kong dollars?" Li Zhekai added here, "Just three months, and I will pay you the interest based on the bank interest rate plus two points."
Fearon waved his hand and said: "I don't want interest, and I won't take back the money at that time, but before May 25th, you must have 250 million US dollars in your account for me to remotely control the financial market in Southeast Asia.
, the calling time is also three months, if you agree, then we will sign the contract."
Li Zhekai hesitated for a moment, calculated the time, and then smiled and said: "Twenty-five million U.S. dollars, which is roughly equivalent to a little over 1.9 billion Hong Kong dollars. Brother Fei, you are really fair! I want to ask, what are your plans?
Why mobilize such a large amount of cash?"
Feilun also grinned: "Buddha said, you can't say it, so don't ask too much, Brother Li. But I have to declare in advance that I am taking advantage of this matter and you will suffer a loss, because when I use that US dollar, I have to borrow it from you.
The name of the Li family."
"Then I have to ask my father about this."
Two days later, that is, the day after the Lantern Festival, Li Zhekai and Feilun signed a loan contract under the witness of a team of lawyers. The contract clearly stated the amount of Li Zhekai's loan, the loan time, and the temporary mortgage of Hutchison Whampoa shares; as for Feilun,
, it also clearly stipulates that he can do whatever he wants with the $250 million, but the financial stop loss amount is set at $120 million.
