1912 Making Money Is as Simple as Breathing for Mr. Lin
There were many army generals standing in the bright room. As a nobleman who laughed until the last moment, the Minister of War did have his special features.
Before him, the Prime Minister, the Lord Admiralty, and other nobles including the royal family have all become a thing of the past, and only he is still alive.
This also proves a point from the side.
It doesn't matter whether what you do is right or not, what matters is that you can live long enough.
As long as you live long enough, no matter what you say, it will be right!
The officers all looked at him. The Minister of War smiled and sighed, "I plan to marry Her Majesty the Queen!"
The generals in the room were stunned, and then realized that once the Minister of War really did that, he would become the prince of Gefra and have the right to rule second only to the Queen.
Legitimate right to rule!
The Queen is only a teenager, and with the methods of the Minister of War, she can be imprisoned in the palace without giving her a chance to govern.
In other words, he will steal the power of the royal family as a great noble!
He currently holds the largest military power on the island of Gefra, and now also serves as the prime minister. When he takes over the nominal power of the royal family, there is no doubt that he will change the political situation after the changes of the previous prime minister!
He might even ascend the throne as the new emperor!
If there is an endless desire for wealth flowing in the veins of the people of the Federation.
Then in the veins of the Gefra people, there is completely greed for higher power!
The generals' breathing became more rapid. If the Minister of War became the emperor, even if he was not the emperor, he would just be a prince.
The identity and status of these generals, including the power in their hands, can also be raised to a higher level!
There is nothing more seductive than power in this country!
As for the Minister of War who wants to marry the teenage Queen in his fifties?
This is not a problem at all. Everyone knows that the Queen is just a puppet. Whether she agrees or not is not important at all!
The Minister of War was very satisfied with the changes in the generals. None of them showed confusion or objection. The matter was basically settled!
"Now, the only thing we have to wait for is the moment the war ends!"
After only one night, the idea that the Minister of War wanted to marry the Queen began to circulate among certain groups.
For the generals, and for those in the War Department, this was obviously good news.
As the base of the Army Minister, the Army will only have more benefits and privileges when he obtains higher powers in the future.
The Navy has stepped on the Army's head for so many years, and it is finally the Army's turn to stand at the forefront!
But what is very good news for the Army is simply cruel to Her Majesty the Queen!
At this time, she was holding her aunt and sobbing.
The people in the palace were either from Penteo or from the army, so she didn't even have a chance to escape.
Genia hugged her grandniece with emotion and helplessness.
Who would have thought that in just a few years, Gaevra, who once stood on top of the world, would suddenly fall into the abyss and never get up again?
They both breathed a sigh of relief when the little count and his group established the Gefra government-in-exile in the Federation.
In this way, no matter what happens to Gefra in the future, at least they will not bear all the responsibility.
But this time, their luck seemed to have ended.
Despicable and shameless can no longer describe the character of the Minister of War. The Queen cried so hard that she almost died!
She cried for a while, and after she vented her emotions, she sobbed and said, "If he really does that, I will jump from the highest place in the palace."
"Even if I die, I won't let him succeed!"
At this time, Xenia had no better way besides hating life and fate.
She stroked her grandniece's soft hair and sighed softly, "It would be great if someone could help us..."
For some reason, a figure suddenly appeared in her mind.
Maybe contacting him can solve the current difficulties...
Xenia didn't know that Lynch had arranged for two action teams to enter the imperial capital and were still operating not far from them.
After getting some unconfirmed information from a smuggler, Lynch became interested in the treasure hidden by the Secretary of War.
These things have been collected by Gefra for hundreds of years. Every one of them is a treasure that can be placed in the palace!
Moreover, this war has cast a veil of mystery on them.
Think about it, if a collection that mysteriously disappeared after the country was destroyed in a war suddenly appeared at an auction more than ten or decades later, what kind of frenzy would it cause?
In addition to the creative content of the artwork itself and the creator of the content, the story is also a very important part of the artwork!
There is no story more suitable for these top-notch collections than this. People can completely imagine the legendary stories of treasures being displaced in troubled times!
These things are still inconspicuous now, but when capital cannot find a market with an astonishing growth rate, the collectibles market will experience a blowout!
The two teams have been operating in Gefra for a long time and have obtained a lot of clues. Maybe it won't be long before those things can enter Lynch's pocket!
At this time, Lynch had no idea about the situation faced by Genia and her niece. He was negotiating cooperation with some overseas capital.
Tens of billions of funds are transferred from the world's major banks to the seven major federal banks every day.
Due to the new financial rules currently implemented by the federal government and the seven major banks, foreign capital that wants to enter the federation must submit an application for capital entry into Hong Kong and choose a bank as the foreign account opening bank.
The newly implemented rules and regulations of the Federation are indeed very strict, but strictness does not mean that there are no loopholes.
"Capital replacement" is a countermeasure against the new federal financial rules. To put it simply, there are loopholes in the entry and exit declaration of foreign investment.
The loophole is that they can obtain funds from third-party international banks without applying for departure.
The method of operation is to use the federal domestic capital to replace the overseas capital of banks or third parties.
for example.
A businessman declared a million dollars when he entered the federation. He invested accurately in the federation and had two million when he was ready to leave.
According to the current federal rules and regulations, the extra one million will be subject to departure tax, so he can only take away a few hundred thousand.
But if he only applies for one million funds to leave the country and does not apply for the other one million, he does not need to pay departure tax.
Then use the one million funds that are still in the federal territory to exchange them for one million abroad through a third party.
For example, they can give this million to Lynch, and then Lynch will give them one million from a foreign bank.
In this way, they can avoid taxes legally and reasonably. The money is still in the federal government, but it has just changed its owner, and their losses are not that big.
But not everyone can do this kind of operation.
For example, some small bankers whose main customer base is immigrants may only have a few million or tens of millions of funds at their disposal.
It only takes one international tycoon to bring their business to a complete halt.
Only those truly large economies and large consortiums that have conducted cross-border trade for a long time have such capabilities.
No policy can achieve perfect results. Capital itself is a master at exploiting loopholes. Even breaking the law is not a problem for capital, as long as it has enough profits.
The seven major federal banks have external banking windows overseas, including Blackstone Bank.
And what makes Blackstone Bank more advantageous than other banks is that Blackstone Bank owns the equity of a complete national bank!
He also has many means to easily control the cash holdings of banks on both sides!
It can be said that as long as Lynch is willing, it will be difficult to carry out this policy, because these new policies are defenseless in front of him!
But it’s not good to do too much of this kind of thing, after all, everyone is watching.
It's okay when no one reports. Once someone reports and they can get real evidence, it can easily lead to greater and unpredictable consequences.
There is more than one person in the Federation who wants Lynch to suffer, and even Mr. Trueman may not have other ideas.
Although the conditions offered by these capitalists were very generous, Lynch still did not agree.
After sending these people away, Vera's palms were sweaty.
"I thought you would agree!"
The price these people offered Lynch just now was very high. It would definitely not be free if they asked others to help them complete the asset replacement.
This requires a handling fee and is not cheap.
The international money laundering dealers now charge a commission of 22%. The reason why they charge so little is because it is now a period of war.
Many countries no longer have the energy to track down money laundering or not, but in the black market, money laundering still requires so much commission.
In peacetime, the federal money laundering "tax rate" is 35 to 45 percent.
To put it simply, if one million black money is washed into clean money through these bookmakers, only 650,000 will be left at most, and 550,000 will be left at least.
Most of the time it’s a 40 percent money laundering tax rate.
This is also the reason why Old Fox was in an underground bank at that time and did not dare to take out the black money in the safe for laundering, so he could only spend it secretly.
He worked hard to make money from the risk of sitting in jail. If he used it to wash it again, one million would become 600,000, which is equivalent to half of it being in vain. How could he give it up?
The cost of asset replacement is no less than money laundering, so these people are also willing to pay Lynch generous rewards.
It is divided into multiple grades according to the amount of capital that needs to be replaced.
When there is little money to leave the port, they will directly go through official channels and pay a small departure tax to leave the port.
But when you have a lot of money to leave the port, you will obviously lose a lot if you go through legal channels.
For every RMB 100 million left, they are willing to pay Lynch a handling fee of RMB 40 million, which is much cheaper than paying the departure tax!
They thought Lynch would agree, but he didn't completely agree, nor did he completely disagree.
He showed these people a way...
