Chapter 17
When Ye Dongqing heard the call from the old phone, he was excited when he heard the ringtone. He had never seen the number displayed on the screen.
It is not clear whether Mr. Sam called over. He coughed twice, and after answering it, he deliberately thickened his neck, imitating British accent, saying: "Hello?"
A voice came from the other end of the phone: "It's me, Sam Evans from Home Love Apartment. I heard that the Federal Taxation Bureau is investigating my financial situation? There should be any misunderstandings here. There have never been few taxes to pay. An accounting firm helps me manage funds and is responsible for filing taxes."
It seems that Mr. Sam has organized his language in advance and said such a long sentence as soon as he answered it, trying his best to get himself clean from the whole thing.
Ye Dongqing didn't let him get what he wanted, and told him with a smile: "Since you think so, then I'll go to your place with my colleagues tomorrow to check the accounts, OK?
When the time comes, ask your tenants, they will give me a correct answer, but if you investigate something and have my colleagues here, it will definitely not end in the end. I heard from my cousin that you already have cancer, and I don’t want patients like you to face court lawsuits.”
He didn't want the driver to overheard too much. Soon after getting on the bus, he handed the cash to the taxi driver and signaled to get off the bus on the side of the road.
“…”
There was no sound on the other end of the phone, and Old Sam hadn't hung up yet, so he was probably weighing the trade-offs.
Since he could call, Ye Dongqing understood that he would probably be sure to be a greedy person this time. If Sam didn't evade taxes, he would naturally not fall into the current field. After all, he was blamed for his lack of greed.
As soon as I came out of the taxi, I heard the old man say, "I am willing to give you 20,000 US dollars and give up the investigation of me. It's a fair deal, it's good to you and me."
Last time, he easily blackmailed a few watches, and this time, Old Sam was willing to give money. Ordinary Manhattan residents may not be able to make so much money if they spend a whole year. Such cost-free trading benefits are indeed high.
Just nodding, Ye Dongqing can get 20,000 US dollars, and there is no investment except a phone card.
However, his appetite was not just a little bit, and he continued to speak: "No, no, sir, who do you think of me? Regarding the specific amount of tax evasion, I have already obtained a rough figure, that's not a small amount of money."
The implication is very obvious, and he thinks it's less.
Mr. Old Sam heard it, his voice was a little annoyed and impatient: "What do you want to do? Give me a number!"
Who will feel better if he is blackmailed?
Ye Dongqing didn't care and said in a relaxed tone: "Mr. Evans, I'm here to help you. You should have made a will recently. Has anyone told you that the cost of inheritance tax is very high?"
"Um?"
"I have a way to help you solve this problem. You only need to pay a small price, including that building and the funds you are shameful in your hands, and can legally enter your children's bank accounts.
No need to hide anymore. They can spend the money openly and continue to rent out your apartment building and use their income to protect their lives. Otherwise, the price will be as high as tens of millions of dollars and will be given to the New York City Hall for nothing. No one will thank you for your efforts.”
Show off your real purpose by phone. Compared with the commission income brought by helping with money laundering and hiding funds, you can only make a few money by extorting directly. If you get angry, the other party may confess directly to the IRS that he has cancer and has a few months of life.
He has talked about business countless times and has mastered the skills. He has not said how much money he can bring to himself. He has grasped Old Sam's current needs in his words.
As death approaches, how to achieve wealth inheritance at the least cost has become a very important thing.
Old Sam on the other end of the phone was not stupid. He was very interested in Ye Dongqing's words and asked, "So can you help me avoid taxes? Give my inheritance to my two daughters?"
"That's right. If you don't feel at ease, I will help you wash a small amount of money first, and wait until the funds enter their account before continuing to cooperate. I have helped many people do the same thing before, and ask others about the nickname of the King of Money Laundering in New York, and everyone knows me."
Ye Dongqing continued to talk nonsense: "Mr. Walton, who founded the Walmart chain supermarket brand in April, passed away. One of the inheritances was to be washed away by me. My clients also have the heirs of the Rockefeller family. Your assets can be cleaned up quickly, saving at least five million dollars!
Before that, you have to tell me how much your real estate and cash is total, including money in the bank and untaxed cash. I will tailor a tax avoidance plan for you."
If he faced a real rich man and a social elite, he would definitely not have made this statement.
I felt that Old Sam was not so smart, so I borrowed the halo of the Walton family and the Rockefeller family to put gold on his body to make him look even more powerful.
There was no way, so he rashly found the other party and wanted to help the other party launder money without any contact in advance, which meant that Old Sam would inevitably be wary, and Ye Dongqing was trying to make him believe in him.
Ye Dongqing, who had already become famous at that time, was able to win over customers by relying on the accumulated credibility, and now he is just a young boy who is still in high school.
I felt a little nervous, worried that if Old Sam would say something about refusal, a big order would pass by him at that time, and he would find other ways to earn start-up capital.
But it's pretty good. Even if you fail, extorting tens of thousands of dollars should not be difficult, it is considered a consolation prize.
Old Sam didn't say how much money he had hidden. After thinking for a while, he asked him: "If, I mean, if, if, how many people can get into my daughter's account?"
This is a good sign, indicating that the old man is interested. Ye Dongqing replied decisively: "It is only about seven thousand dollars. The larger the amount, the lower the cost of money laundering. If there is one million, I can give her seventy-five thousand dollars."
My heart is still a little darker. I don’t need much investment in money laundering. He wants to make more money from it, but the main reason is that he bullies Old Sam and doesn’t understand the market.
Old Sam usually pays less taxes by using cash transactions, so he doesn't know how much money laundering is usually paid. He only knows that after the tax exemption is used up, the remaining money needs to be paid up to 55% of the tax, which means that most of the money will be entered into the Federal Taxation Bureau's fiscal account.
A twenty-five percent commission is an acceptable number in his eyes. It is better to use legal channels than to go through legal channels. He hesitated for a moment and said tentatively: "Let me do this, I will give you 30,000 US dollars first. If you prove that this method is feasible and let my daughters get clean money smoothly, I will give you more in the future."
With 30,000 US dollars, the old man was originally ready to be blackmailed and didn't feel sorry for such a little money.
After hearing this, Ye Dongqing smiled and said, "I will tell you where to put the money. Wait for me to notify you. Some things should be prepared first, such as their social security number and bank card account..."
