Liu Dong was suddenly surprised when he saw as much as 8.2 billion US dollars in funds on the page. ≯＞
Because he owns the "Emperor" entertainment city, he knows how profitable the gambling industry is. And this is why he decided to make a profit from Mosang Gandhi.
But what he didn't expect was that there was so much money in Moissan Gandhi's account. It was nearly half more than he thought.
Of course, what Liu Dong didn't know was that the US$8.2 billion was not just the revenue of one casino in Delhi, but the total revenue of all 118 underground casinos in India in the past quarter.
According to Mozang Gandhi's internal regulations, the balance of the branch casino must be transferred into this general account every month, and the funds in this general account must be paid every quarter to those who protect Mozang Gandhi from wind and rain.
's account.
Among these "protective umbrellas" are government officials, local councillors, and religious figures. It is with their cover that Mozambican Gandhi can operate so prosperously in India.
These huge interests are connected in series to form a huge interest group.
It’s no wonder that Moissan Gandhi’s people were so arrogant, openly engaging in underground bloody fights and animal fights across the entire country.
Of course, Liu Dong could guess the relationship network behind Moissan Gandhi. But he was not someone to be trifled with. Before he did what he did today, he had already thought of a way to deal with it.
Therefore, even though he knew that swallowing up this huge amount of funds might bring him some trouble, Liu Dong still transferred them to the hidden account he opened at HSBC without any hesitation!
Of course, it's not over yet. If you want to make it impossible to trace the whereabouts of the funds, you need to make a few more twists and turns, but Liu Dong is not responsible for this.
"José?"
"Boss, it must be early morning in India now, right?"
After several years of getting along, the intimacy between Jose Aguilar and Liu Dong is obviously not as close as it was at the beginning.
"Of course, but Colombia should still be enjoying the delicious breakfast!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
There is a difference of more than ten hours between New Delhi, India and Colombia, and the night in New Delhi is exactly the morning in Colombia the day before.
"Haha, boss, I am having breakfast, yes, but I am not in Colombia but in Bolivia!"
"Oh? Is there any new progress in the Colombian oil investment?" Liu Dong said with eyes shining.
Bolivia, a country in South America known as the ‘donkey sitting on a gold mine’, has the second largest natural oil and gas field in South America after Venezuela.
What's more important is that the country's oil is still privately owned and foreign companies are allowed to operate. Therefore, extending the reach of Cartena Petroleum Company, a subsidiary of the Colombian Group, to the Bolivian oil industry has been what Liu Dong has most hoped to achieve in the past few years.
"Boss, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to really intervene in Bolivia's oil production!" Jose Aguilar said in a serious tone.
"Why? Is there a boycott from other oil majors?"
Bolivia's oil resources, which have been developed since the last century, have attracted almost the vast majority of international oil giants. Mobil, Shell Petroleum, EP, and even Petrobras all have their own oil fields and petrochemical plants in Bolivia.
As a latecomer, Cartagena Petroleum Company wants to enter, which will undoubtedly touch the interests of these oil giants and usher in fierce opposition.
After all, the cake is only so big, and no one wants a new competitor to enter.
"No! It's the Bolivian government!"
"government?"
"Yes! Morales, the leader of Bolivia's left-wing political party for socialism, has won widespread support in the national presidential election, and one of the most important policy measures he took during the election was the Bolivian oil
Nationalize natural gas production and processing'! And this is one of the things that the impoverished Bolivian people long for."
"Therefore, if nothing else happens, he will become the new president of Bolivia in next year's presidential election. At the latest, in 2006, Bolivia's oil and gas extraction, processing, transportation, distribution, export and chemical industry will all be controlled by Bolivia.
National oil companies control it! And private oil companies like ours may not have much chance!”
"Is this already the third time that the Bolivian government has nationalized oil?" After thinking for a moment, Liu Dong frowned.
"Yes, it happened twice in the last century! The first time was in 1937, when the Bolivian government confiscated the assets of the American Standard Oil Company in Bolivia and established the state-owned Petroleum Company of Bolivia. The second time was in 1969.
The U.S. Gulf Oil Company was confiscated by the Bolivian government! This is the third time!”
After nodding slightly, Liu Dong continued: "José, now that the political situation in Bolivia has changed, what are you going to do?"
"Boss, in fact, Bolivia is very rich in minerals. We don't need to invest most of our funds in the oil industry."
"You mean to continue to strengthen our investment in iron ore mining and transportation in Bolivia?"
"Yes! Colombia has 45o tons of iron ore, second only to Brazil in Latin America. Tin reserves are 1.15 million tons, ranking second in the world, and lithium reserves are 100 million tons, ranking first in the world! Moreover, tin, antimony, tungsten, silver,
Zinc, lead, copper, nickel, iron, gold and other minerals are also abundant. As long as we are willing to invest, it will not be difficult for Cody Mining Group to become an international mining giant comparable to Vale, BHP Billiton and Anglo American."
Regarding Jose's proposal, Liu Dong also understood that doing so would be more beneficial to the Colombian Group's future expansion in Bolivia.
Compared with the Bolivian oil industry where giants gather, the mining industry is more suitable for the development of the Colombian group due to its backward infrastructure, relatively small mining scale, and less fierce competition than the oil industry.
Moreover, after nearly four years of investment, the Colombian Group already has a certain foundation in Bolivia. The iron ore in Trinidad and the lithium mine in Cochabamba provide annual supplies to the Chibote Branch of the Oriental Steel Group in South America.
1.5 million tons of iron ore and 2 million tons of lithium ore!
This greatly ensures the supply of iron ore resources for Dongfang Iron and Steel Group.
Moreover, sufficient iron ore resources are also a strong pillar to support Dongfang Iron and Steel Group in its fight to be the leader in the steel industry.
After thinking about this clearly, Liu Dong also made a decision in his heart, "Just do what you want!"
"Thank you boss for your support!"
"Jose, you're welcome! I should be the one to say thank you. If you hadn't been in charge of the overall situation in South America these years, I'm afraid the Colombian Group would not have developed so fast!"
Liu Dong's words are not without purpose.
Although the Columbia Group only owns four companies: Catena Petroleum Company, Cody Mining Group, Darren Group and Inter-American Bank of Commerce!
But these four companies are giants in the oil industry, mining processing industry, transportation industry and banking industry in the entire America. Even the weakest Dalun Group has assets of 5.8 billion US dollars. The most powerful
The price of Cartena Petroleum Company is no less than 2 billion US dollars!
The Columbia Group, composed of four giants, has assets of nearly US$6 billion!
Of course, because none of the four companies are listed, and its main business is located in South America, apart from a few insiders, not much is known about the specific assets of Columbia Group! It is also far inferior to Hanhua in the global business community.
The group is so famous!
It is really appropriate to describe Columbia Group as a giant in the shadows!
"Boss, you are so polite! Without your support behind me, I probably wouldn't be able to do what I am doing now!"
Liu Dong knew that what Jose was talking about was the gold he sent almost every month, as well as the support of the most important secret door organization and the three major mercenary organizations. The gold and the wealth handed over by the three major mercenary organizations solved the problem of the Colombian Group's development.
There is a need for funds, and the methods of the backdoor organization have appeased the politicians and drug lords in Colombia who covet the group's wealth!
Moreover, over the years, almost more than 90% of Liu Dong's wealth has been invested in the business operations of Hanhua Group, and the funds turned over through the secret door are the source of income for his daily expenses.
The funds taken out in Mozang Gandhi this time were all wealth turned over through secret doors.
"Okay, I'm done with my polite words! I have something serious to tell you next!"
"Boss, please give me your orders!"
"It's like this. I got some more money in India this time, a lot of it! Now it has been transferred to the old account. You are responsible for handling it!"
"I see!"
Because this kind of thing happened not once or twice, whether it was Liu Dong's money, or the funds handed over by the secret door and the three major mercenary groups, they were all laundered through Jose's hands.
As for the method of laundering, it is very simple. Open 5,000 branches of American Commercial Bank, Standard Chartered Bank and Hanhua Bank around the world, register tens of thousands of accounts, and then deposit the money in them.
Generally speaking, depositors' deposits will be invested by banks. The dispersed money, or gold, will be misappropriated by Liu Dong and directly used as loans for the development of major companies under the Hanhua Group and Columbia Group.
and M&A funding.
By the time the money is transferred back through the company several times, several years have passed. And the money has basically been laundered by now and can be withdrawn at any time.
Moreover, because the three banks are not listed companies, they do not need to announce their annual profits and specific operating conditions to the public. They only need to deal with inspections from the tax department and the China Banking Regulatory Commission.
Obviously nothing can be found in this kind of inspection, because the depositors' information is kept confidential! There are no problems with the taxation and operations of the three banks.
Under this, everything becomes reasonable and legal! (To be continued.) 8
