General Ji and Lai Changxing want to ask him to help them launder money, Zhou Hao can understand this.
The so-called black money is money that cannot be seen, and its source must be illegal, such as drug trafficking, arms sales, smuggling, fraud, robbery, corruption, including money obtained 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 their true source and put on a legal cloak.
For criminal groups, clearing black money is a crucial part, enabling them to openly and legally enjoy these illegal gains, and to expand their criminal power through reinvestment.
In fact, the amount of underground funds continuously circulating in countries around the world is greater than the liquid funds in the financial market, that is, hot money.
Due to the importance of money laundering to criminal groups, money laundering groups are becoming more and more refined and professional, and have become "bankers" in the underground world, providing money laundering services for various criminal groups.
Whether he worked as a financial officer in Huangshi Group in his previous life, or became a mysterious force that should not be underestimated in the financial market in this life, Zhou Hao knows clearly that as long as he is familiar enough with the law.
With sufficient professional skills in financial operations, it is actually very easy to launder money, especially through transnational financial institutions.
Through the increasingly close international economic and trade relations, those black money can be easily converted into legitimate income by going through various financial institutions.
And the bigger and more famous the financial institution is, the easier it is to complete the money laundering procedure.
However, unless it is a criminal group with very large power and financial resources, such as those international mafia, or big drug lords and terrorist organizations, they will launder money through professional financial institutions, or simply establish financial institutions dedicated to money laundering by themselves .
Just like those big drug lords in South America, they opened their own banks, not only laundering money for their own drug cartels, but also providing services for other criminal groups.
As for those "scattered" criminals who have not formed a group, they generally use casinos to launder money for themselves in the simplest way.
So gambling cities like Macau and Las Vegas are actually places for money laundering, which is why those corrupt officials in China like to go to Macau and Las Vegas so much.
Although Zhou Hao's "Galaxy Investment Company" is unknown in the financial world, in fact, "Galaxy Investment Company" has become the most powerful private investment institution in Asia.
After continuous expansion, the number of regular employees of "Galaxy" has exceeded 200, and none of them are mediocre, and all of them can be called financial elites.
These people were recruited from all over the world, including the United States, Britain, Switzerland, France, India, Israel and even Japan.
Each has a unique talent in finance, and under the leadership of Song Jiahao and Willie Worth, the two most capable traders, they have become the gears that maintain the operation of "Galaxy".
They didn't know the strength of "Xinghe" before, and they came because of Zhou Hao's generous salary. And after joining "Galaxy", they realized that its financial strength is not inferior to Quantum Fund and Tiger Fund.
The talents in "Galaxy" come from all over the world, but pure Chinese only account for a minority.
These Chinese financial experts were all recruited by Zhou Hao from Shanghai and Shenzhen, the two domestic financial centers, or they were high-end talents in Hong Kong.
Although subjectively, Zhou Hao doesn't like Americans and Japanese, but he also has to admit that these people with typical Western concepts have one of the biggest characteristics, that is, as long as they have a high enough salary, they will be able to serve loyally. employer effectiveness.
The national defense of any country is nothing compared to their own work among those with strong democratic concepts.
Just like Zhou Hao's financial activities against the Japanese stock market before, the Japanese in the company did not feel uncomfortable at all, and they would not show any mercy when operating. Instead, they operated extremely aggressively in order to increase their bonuses.
Moreover, since these people entered the "Xinghe", they will be immediately monitored by the intelligence agency of the "First Army". In view of the role of "Xinghe" in the Indonesian turmoil, both Chief No. 1 and Premier Zhu have seen the importance of "Xinghe" sex.
Coupled with Zhao Rixin's relationship, the country attaches great importance to the comprehensiveness of "Xinghe", and explained that the "First Army" must closely protect "Xinghe".
Perhaps it is because the top leaders attach great importance to "Xinghe", and in order to facilitate the operation of "Xinghe", the domestic financial regulatory authorities including Hong Kong have relatively loose supervision on "Xinghe", so General Ji wants to ask Zhou Hao to help them launder money.
However, Zhou Hao can earn a lot of money just from legal investment in the financial market, so why does he need to launder money for others to make "extra money", let alone the two bad guys, General Ji and Lai Changxing?
And Zhou Hao was also surprised that although his "Galaxy" was powerful, when it came to money laundering, it was far inferior to the Li family in terms of experience and expertise. Why didn't General Ji and Lai Changxing go to them?
After thinking for a long time, Zhou Hao smiled at General Ji and said, "It's my honor to be able to cooperate with a big man like General Ji. I just wonder what projects General Ji wants to cooperate with you?"
General Ji naturally didn't know that Zhou Hao had already made up his mind that he would never help him launder money.
Hearing Zhou Hao say this, he immediately laughed and said, "I know that your 'Galaxy Investment Company' is now specialized in financial matters.
invest.
However, I think you also know that the financial thing is subject to change.
, No one can guarantee whether the market will rise or fall tomorrow, so the risk is still very high.
As for your two domestic industrial groups, although Tianhe Beverage Group has made a lot of money, it still needs to repay the loans to the major banks.
As for the Polaris Media Group, it is even more of a money-burning machine. Both Asian TV and Galaxy Satellite TV have spent a lot of money, and they have not yet started to make profits. "
He really knew Zhou Hao's situation very well, and Zhou Hao couldn't deny what he said, but the value of Tianhe Beverage Group and Polaris Media Group might not be known to people like General Ji who do intelligence work.
I just heard General Ji continue to say: "So let me tell you, your two industrial groups, not only can't bring you profits, but also become your burden in the short term.
By the way, there is also your mother's Tongguang Catering Company. Although their development momentum is very good, it is considered good if their funds can support their own development and operation, let alone provide you with any help. "
Zhou Hao pretended to agree with General Ji's opinion, and kept nodding his head, but he was sneering in his heart. Most of the hugely successful companies are rarely favored in the early stages of development before they become profitable.
Just like companies like Zhou Hao, although their current economic benefits are not outstanding, they will definitely develop into leaders in their fields within ten years.
"Now I have a trading business with Lao Lai, and I want to cooperate with you Xiaohao."
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 except for the capital, all other aspects are fine. The risk is definitely lower than investing in the stock market, and the returns are definitely rich enough. "
"Trade business?" Zhou Hao smiled slightly. This is obviously Lai Changxing's smuggling business.
Because China's tariffs on imported products are very high, and many domestic resources are also prohibited from exporting. In this way, if the door can be opened up, the business of smuggling is indeed a huge profit, and sometimes the country will even acquiesce or secretly support it. smuggling.
For example, in the border area between China and Russia, there are a large number of smuggling activities, ranging from aircraft and cannons to rice, grain, salt and oil can all be smuggled goods.
Because they want to obtain Russian resources and high-tech weapons, the central government basically adopts an acquiescing attitude towards smuggling activities in the border areas, and sometimes sends secret troops to protect the safety of those smugglers.
In fact, the few Chinese "outlaws" who are very famous in Russia were deliberately supported by the central government in order to obtain more materials from Russia.
However, this kind of smuggling activities against Russia is only compared before and after the disintegration of the Soviet Union and when Russia's political situation is still unstable.
Active, much less now.
However, Lai Changxing's smuggling activities on the southeast coast are completely opposite to those in Russia at that time. Not only did it not benefit the country, but it also caused huge losses to the country's economy.
It would be fine if Lai Changxing was just a small-time fish and shrimp, but now he has become a smuggling king in Asia, and the country can't help but take action against him.
Of course Zhou Hao would not reject General Ji and Lai Changxing directly, after organizing the words in his mind.
He then said to the two of them: "General Ji, Boss Lai, it's really unfortunate to say that, in fact, I'm also very interested in your trade business, but, for my next investment, now the funds from 'Xinghe' Almost all turned out.
Moreover, the several cooperation projects that 'Galaxy' and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission have done before are now in the handover stage, so the central government is now very strict with our 'Galaxy'.
I have also heard a little about Boss Lai's trade business. If we cooperate with Boss Lai now, people from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission will definitely notice it. It doesn't matter to me, but if your business is affected by Boss Lai, then I will I am really ashamed of the two elder brothers. "
