The place is not big, only more than 600 square meters. It used to be very lively, but now it is closed.
Tommy brought Lin Yi over, pointed to the locked bar and said: "This place used to be Senna's property, and the business was very good before. I just inquired about it, and they said that after Senna's death, this bar closed within a few days.
Already."
"As soon as Senna died, other gangsters came to cause trouble, and the alcohol supplier also came to ask for money. The manager in charge of the operation had no choice but to close the door. The place here was originally rented, and everyone ran away. The landlord came and locked it directly
door."
"Senna liked this place the most at the beginning. He said he would treat this bar like his wife. Kent and I even came here twice, which was a gathering of speeding gangs."
Lin Yixin said,
I came to Miami and flapping my little wings twice actually affected the fate of many people. If he hadn't come, Cena probably wouldn't have died, Marty would still be struggling in the quagmire, and Tommy and Kent would still be gangsters.
.
"Just rent here, Tommy, talk to the boss." Lin Yi said.
"Okay Jack."
Before Lin Yi left, he took another look at the bar and thought of Tommy saying that Senna treated this bar like his wife. He suddenly remembered Boss Cao's words: After you die, I will take care of your wife, so don't worry about it.
The negotiation went smoothly.
The other party was interested in renting it out, and the price Lin Yi offered was not low, so they quickly negotiated and left Marty to take care of the rest of the procedures.
The investment in this bar was made by an overseas company, which is a foreign investment. As for who is the registrant of the overseas company, there are three or four layers behind it, making it very difficult to trace.
After the bar is completed, it has nothing to do with Lin Yi. Tommy will be one of the people in charge of the bar, Kent will also stay to help, Marty will be responsible for the accounts, and a bar manager will be hired to take charge of daily operations.
Bars make money.
To be honest, Lin Yi doesn't care about this little profit.
In fact, many bars do not rely on turnover to make money. Just like many tea shops and high-end clothing stores, no one comes in for many days, but they still live a nourishing life.
As for using him to launder money,
Lin Yi is not in a hurry, he can do it slowly in the future.
The total expenses are calculated, including store rent, renovation fees, operating equipment fees, first batch purchase fees, advertising fees, employee wages, water, electricity and miscellaneous expenses, etc.
A total of about 450,000 US dollars.
The money Lin Yi gave Marty to register the company had more than one million left. When he left South Africa, he sold the house and added another 190,000 to his account, which was more than enough to run a bar.
Marty and Tommy expect to be open in a month and a half.
Lin Yi was getting ready to go out.
Go to Dubai.
The plane flew to Dubai International Airport. After getting off the plane, he took off his Jack mask and turned back into Lin Yi. He also put on simple makeup and went to the gold acquisition company where he had done two transactions before.
"Hi, Amr."
Lin Yi and his boss Amul greeted each other warmly.
"Hey Lin, you haven't been here for three months. I've been thinking about when you can come."
Amul hugged Lin Yi.
"How much gold did you bring this time?"
"1.3 tons." Lin Yi said.
This 1.3 tons of gold was obtained by Lin Yi from the safe of Mexican drug lord Del. Unlike the gold that Lin Yi cast himself, Lin Yi was too lazy to cast it and chose to sell it directly. Anyway, his next actions need to be legal.
funds.
"I knew you wouldn't let me down." Amul was very happy to hear the figure of 1.3 tons.
"By the way, Amul, are there any jewelry merchants you are familiar with?" Lin Yi asked.
"What do you want to sell?"
"South African diamonds. I have a batch of South African diamonds that I plan to sell."
"Do you have a certificate?" Amul asked.
"Of course, there is a certificate of origin." Lin Yi said confidently.
Amul smiled and said, "That's easy. After we finish trading gold, I will introduce you to a jewelry merchant. You are an old friend of mine. I will definitely ask him to give you a suitable price."
Trading gold is easy.
Lin Yi drove the car, and Amul asked someone to measure the content and weigh it. After completing a set of procedures, he immediately paid Lin Yi.
That's the best thing about doing business with Arabs. After everything is discussed, it will be very happy later. US$22 million will be transferred into Lin Yi's Swiss bank account.
This transaction is a normal transaction. Even if someone traces it, no problem will be found.
After completing the transaction here, Amour took Lin Yi to have a slightly luxurious meal, grilled lamb chops, French Peron oysters, Canadian geoduck, bluefin tuna sashimi, and Alaskan king crab.
As the two chatted, Lin Yi asked Amul who he mainly sells his gold to, whether it is the Chinese or other Arab countries. Amul smiled and said, "I mainly sell it to India."
If Arab countries are the largest consumers of gold, then India is definitely second, and third is China. However, Lin Yi seems to have seen a set of arrays. In the following ten years, this ranking has changed a lot.
China has become the world's largest gold jewelry consumer, followed by India, and Arab countries fell to third place.
certainly,
This has a lot to do with population.
China has 1.4 billion, India has 1.3 billion, and the total population of the 22 Arab countries and regions is only 340 million.
afternoon,
Amul took Lin Yi to a company, which is located in the famous financial building in Dubai. This building can also be ranked among the top ten in Dubai.
The other party’s name is Hussein. In Arabic, Hussein means handsome, kind, and wise. The man in front of me is indeed very handsome. He looks like he is in his thirties, with a light beard and deep eye sockets, so
His eyes seemed very deep.
When he saw Lin Yi, he looked at Lin Yi carefully several times, and then concealed his eyes.
Lin Yi took out the diamond.
The other party sent two appraisers to appraise it.
This is a very delicate job. The value of a diamond depends on many aspects, such as size, purity, color, flawless silk, etc. The industry standard is 4C, because every gram is different, so it needs to be inspected one by one.
Pricing.
After working on it for several hours, the appraisal was finally completed. The appraiser gave Hussein a very detailed form. After reading it, Hussein pondered for a moment and said to Lin Yi: "I am willing to pay US$22 million for these diamonds."
Lin Yi had seen someone in South Africa before and found out that the value of these diamonds should be around 21 million. He had already planned to lower the price, and estimated that he could give them 20 million or even 19 million. Unexpectedly, not only did he not lower the price, but he even offered some.
"Okay, I'm very satisfied with the price." Lin Yi said with a smile.
Both sides shake hands.
The signing of the contract and payment were still completed in one go, and another US$22 million was added to Lin Yi's other account.
"We have made such a big deal, so we should celebrate and treat you to a yacht cruise in the evening." Hussein invited.
"Okay, are there any beauties?" Amul asked with a smile.
"Of course, you can get them from any country you want," Hussein said with a smile.
night,
There are three men on the yacht, but there are more than a dozen beauties, all of them wearing bikinis with perfect figures, ranging in pink from light black to pink and white.
on the yacht deck,
Hussein and Lin Yi were lying on the deck chairs side by side, enjoying the night sea breeze and chatting with cigars in their mouths.
From talking about beautiful women to countries.
From jewelry to finance.
Lin Yi smiled and thanked Hussein for giving him a good price.
Hussein looked at Lin Yi and said, "Because I hate Americans."
Lin Yi was stunned.
Looking at the other person's eyes, he seemed to understand. This Hussein might have recognized him. After all, he wasn't very good at makeup. Someone who was interested might be able to recognize him.
Lin Yi smiled at Hussein.
When Lin Yi left the next day, he exchanged contact information with Hussein. Lin Yi said: "Let's contact him again when we have the opportunity. Maybe we still have a chance to cooperate."
Lin Yi's next plan will require a lot of funds, and there may be opportunities for cooperation between the two parties.
"I'm looking forward to it," Hussein said.
...
Lin Yi left Dubai and did not return to Miami. He did not need to worry about running a bar. Now that he had money, Lin Yi was ready to start another thing that he had planned for a long time.
The plane landed at New York International Airport, Lin Yi took a taxi to Manhattan, and his first stop was the New York Stock Exchange.
Visitors can only look down through the second-story glass. In the hall, traders are busy, and on the big screen, stocks are shining red and green.
Lin Yi bought several books on stocks in the lobby, including "Stock Market Wizards: Interviews with Elites in the American Stock Market", "Successful Practices and Mental Journeys of Outstanding Traders Around the World", "Memoirs of Stock Traders", and "Complete Records of Listed Companies".
After leaving the stock exchange, Lin Yi found a cafe nearby, found a good seat and sat down, ordered coffee cake, and began to read quietly.
The Lin Yi of this world studied finance and has a deep understanding of finance. He knows much more than the Lin Yi who did not travel through time. In fact, the memory of this knowledge is also a great benefit of time travel.
For others to learn this knowledge, it may take half a lifetime, but he only needs to travel through a new character.
Cheating properly.
This world also has Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Google, as well as Yahoo and Baidu.
But that's not what Lin Yi is concerned about.
Buying their stocks and letting them sit for more than ten or twenty years, such as Amazon, will definitely increase the stock by twenty or thirty times, but that is not what Lin Yi is pursuing.
What he wants to see is the rapid expansion of the funds in his hands.
Is there any way?
Of course there is.
In fact, a few months ago, when Lin Yi was reading a news article, he discovered that the name of a company overlapped with that of a company that was very impressive in his mind. The name of this company was ‘Tyco Tyco’.
Tyco is the world's largest manufacturer and service provider of electrical and electronic components, the design, production, installation and service provider of submarine communication systems, and the world's largest manufacturer, installer and supplier of fire protection systems and electronic security services.
It is also the largest manufacturer of flow control valves. Tyco also occupies a leading position in the fields of medical products, financing and leasing, plastics and adhesives. The company has business organizations in more than 100 countries, and its operating income in fiscal year 2004 reached 40.2 billion.
US dollars, with more than 260,000 employees, a stock market value of nearly US$100 billion, and ranking 91st among the Global 500.
It's a super big company.
Why did Lin Yi think of this company?
Because in later generations, when he was in school, he once read a book titled The Top Ten Economic Frauds in the United States.
One of them mentioned Tyco.
Tyco's CEO and financial director conspired to commit financial fraud and divert hundreds of millions of dollars of the company's funds for consumption. When the incident was revealed, it was shocking, and the stock price plummeted.
In this world, according to Lin Yi's reports, Tyco's CEO and CFO are still the same two people. In other words, the financial fraud, corruption and fraud scandals have not yet broken out. Lin Yi's idea is very simple.
Since you haven't broken it yet.
Then I will take the initiative to pierce it for you.
certainly,
It is definitely a normal operation to go short on money, right? The money earned is reasonable and legal, absolutely clean, and it also eliminates harm to the people and cancer to the enterprise.
In Lin Yi's mind,
This is not an example.
When he was flipping through the stock information in his hand, he saw several impressive companies, some even super large companies, and some familiar celebrities, such as the chairman of Nasdaq.
executive scandal,
Business scam.
Even a Ponzi scheme.
If all these abscesses are broken, will the 2008 financial crisis come early in 2006?
Maybe it's possible.
I wonder if Wall Street will be trembling by then.
