Chapter 608 Money Laundering Professionals
General Ji and Lai Changxing want to find themselves to help them launder money, this Zhou Hao can understand.
The so-called black money is money that is not visible, and its source must be illegal, such as drug trafficking, arms trafficking, smuggling, fraud, robbery, corruption, including money from tax evasion. And money laundering is to legalize these illegal gains through a series of transactions and transformations. The most important thing is to cover up its true source and put on a legal coat.
For criminal groups, the fine white money is a crucial part, enabling them to openly and legally enjoy these illegal gains, and increase their criminal power through reinvestment.
In fact, the amount of underground funds circulating in countries around the world is more than the circulating funds in the financial markets, that is, hot money. Because of the importance of money laundering to criminal groups, money laundering groups are becoming more and more refined and professional, and they have become "bankers" in the underground world, providing money laundering services for various criminal groups.
Whether it was a financial officer in Huangshi Group in his previous life, or a mysterious force in the financial market, Zhou Hao knows that as long as he is familiar with the law, he has enough expertise in financial operations. Skills, money laundering is actually very easy, especially through multinational financial institutions. Those black money can easily be converted into fair and honest and legitimate income through the increasingly close economic and trade relations among the international financial institutions.
And the bigger and more famous financial institution, the easier it is to complete the money laundering process.
However, unless it is a criminal group with very large power and financial resources, such as those international mafia, or big drug barons and terrorist organizations, will they launder money through professional financial institutions, or simply establish a financial institution dedicated to money laundering. . Just like those big drug lords in South America, they set up their own banks, not only laundering money for their drug cartels, but also providing services for other criminal groups.
As for those "singular" criminals who have not formed a group, they generally use casinos to carry out the simplest money laundering for themselves. Therefore, casinos like Macau and Ass Vegas are actually money laundering places. Why do those corrupt officials in China like to run to Macau and Las Vegas so much?
Although the "Galaxy Investment Company" under Zhou Hao's is unknown in the financial world, in fact, the "Galaxy Investment Company" has become the strongest private investment institution in Asia. After continuous expansion, "Xinghe" has more than 200 formal employees, and there is no mediocrity, all of whom can be regarded as financial elites.
These people are recruited from all over the world, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, France, India, Israel and even Japan. Each has unique talents in finance. Song Jiahao and Willyworth have the most abilities. Under the leadership of a strong trader, it becomes the gear that maintains the operation of Galaxy. They didn't know the strength of "Xinghe" before, and it was entirely based on Zhou Hao's generous salary. After joining Galaxy, they realized that its financial strength is not inferior to Quantum Fund and Tiger Fund.
The talents in the "Galaxy" come from all over the world, but pure Chinese are only a minority. These Chinese financial professionals are all recruited by Zhou Hao from the two domestic financial centers of Shanghai and Shenzhen, or high-end talents from Hong Kong. Although subjectively, Zhou Hao does not like Americans and Japanese, he also has to admit that these talents with typical Western concepts have one of the biggest characteristics, that is, as long as they have a sufficiently high salary, they can be loyal Employer effectiveness. The defenses of any country and nation are nothing compared to their own work among people with strong democratic ideas.
Just like Zhou Hao’s previous financial activities on the Japanese stock market, the Japanese in the company were not uncomfortable at all, and they did not show any mercy when operating. On the contrary, they were extremely active in order to increase their bonuses.
Moreover, since these people entered the "Galaxy", they would immediately be monitored by the intelligence agency of the "first army". In view of the role of the "Galaxy" in the Indonesian storm, the Chief No. 1 and Premier Zhu have already seen the importance of the "Galaxy". Coupled with Zhao Rixin’s relationship, the state attaches great importance to the comprehensiveness of the "Xinghe" and confesses that the "first army" must protect the "Xinghe" closely.
Perhaps it was because the top leaders attached great importance to Galaxy. In order to facilitate the operation of Galaxy, the domestic financial regulatory authorities, including Hong Kong, have relatively loose supervision of Galaxy, so General Ji wanted to ask Zhou Hao to help them launder money.
However, Zhou Hao can make large sums of money only from legal investments in the financial market. Why does he need to help others to launder money to make "extra money", let alone the two big molds, General Ji and Lai Changxing? And Zhou Hao was also surprised that although his own "Galaxy" is powerful, when it comes to money laundering, it is far inferior to the Li family in terms of experience and professionalism. Why don't General Ji and Lai Changxing look for them?
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Hao smiled at General Ji:
It’s really an honor for the kid to be able to work with a big man like General Ji. I just don’t know what projects General Ji wants to work on with the kid?

General Ji naturally didn’t know that Zhou Hao had made up his mind that he would never help him launder money. Hearing Zhou Hao’s words, he immediately laughed and said:
I know that your'Galaxy Investment Company' now specializes in finance. Investment, but I think you also know that finance will change whenever it changes. No one can guarantee whether the market will rise or fall tomorrow, so the risk is still great. And you are in the two domestic industrial groups, Tianhe Beverage Although the group has made a lot of money, it still needs to repay the loans to major banks. As for the Polaris Media Group, it is a money-burning machine. Both ATV and Galaxy Satellite TV have spent a lot of money. It hasn't started profitable yet."
He really knows Zhou Hao's situation very well, and Zhou Hao can't deny what he said, but the value of Tianhe Beverage Group and Polaris Media Group may not be known to people like General Ji who do intelligence work.
Just listen to General Ji continue to say: "So I said, your two industrial groups, not only can not bring you benefits, but also become your burden in the short term. By the way, there is also your mother’s Although the catering company has a very good development momentum, it is good if their funds can support their development and operation, let alone provide you with any help."
Zhou Hao pretended to agree with General Ji's opinion, nodded, but sneered in his heart. Most companies that have achieved great success are rarely favored by people in the early stages of their development before profitability. Companies like Zhou Hao, although their economic benefits are not outstanding today, have been Within, they will definitely develop into the leaders in their field.
"Now I have a trading business with Lao Lai, and I want to cooperate with Xiaohao you." General Ji smiled at Zhou Hao: "Because there is a small problem with our funds, we need you to help us operate. But Xiaohao You can rest assured that there is no problem in all aspects except capital. The risk is definitely smaller than investing in the stock market, and the returns are definitely rich enough."
"Trade business?" Zhou Hao smiled slightly. This was obviously Lai Changxing's smuggling business.
Because China’s tariffs on imported products are very high, and many domestic resource items are also prohibited from exporting. As a result, smuggling business is indeed a huge profit if the door can be opened up, and the country will even tacitly approve or secretly support it at certain times Smuggling activities. Just like in the border area between China and Russia, there are a lot of smuggling activities, ranging from airplanes and artillery to rice, grain, salt and oil can be smuggled goods. In order to obtain Russian resources and high-tech weapons, the central authorities basically acquiesced to smuggling activities in the border areas, and sometimes sent secret troops to protect the safety of those smugglers. There are even a few very famous Chinese in Russia. "Fucking Lord" is basically deliberately supported by the central government, the purpose is to obtain more material from Russia.
However, such smuggling activities against Russia were only active before and after the disintegration of the Soviet Union and when the political situation in Russia was still unstable, and it is now much less.
However, Lai Changxing's smuggling activities along the southeast coast are completely opposite to Russia's back then. Not only did it do no good to the country, it also caused huge losses to the country's economy. It would be okay if Lai Changxing was just a kind of petty fish and shrimp, but now he has become Asia's smuggling magnate, and the country can't help him.
Of course Zhou Hao would not directly reject General Ji and Lai Changxing. After organizing the language in his heart, he said to the two: "General Ji, Boss Lai, it’s a bad idea. Actually, I am very impressed with your trade business. Interest, but, for my next investment action before, almost all of the funds of "Xinghe" have been transferred out. Moreover, the previous cooperation projects between "Xinghe" and the SASAC are now just in the handover stage. Therefore, the central government is now very close to our "Xinghe". I have also heard about Boss Lai’s trading business. If I cooperate with Boss Lai now, it will surely be noticed by the SASAC. It’s okay, but if it hurts Boss Lai’s business, then I’m really ashamed of the two big brothers."
