Great Power

Chapter 314: They Are All Here to Travel

"Yes, BA005 is a private jet, the White Swan. In fact, this is a Concorde B. Its engine and trim fuel tank have been modified. The engine efficiency has increased by a quarter, and the fuel capacity has also increased by a quarter. Three, so it can achieve intercontinental flight, and it only takes more than 8 hours from the United States to the Republic—"

Mary, the reception manager of the VIP room, smiled and nodded, but after scanning the group of people, she found that there was no figure of Zheng Jianguo, so she did not respond to Benny Budd's question.

However, although Mary upholds the idea of ​​conserving privacy, Adam next to him went on to say: "In order to reduce weight and increase strength, the main structure of this aircraft is replaced with titanium alloy, and the fuel tank is also covered with Kevlar bulletproof. The materials are used to increase safety, and the tire brakes are also redesigned. You can buy two Concorde for this white swan—"

"Zheng is really rich, he has more money than the Ewing family in "The Enemy of the Giants"—"

Looking at the figure of the plane taxiing outside the window, this idea flashed through Benny's mind, but he didn't expect to see the amount transferred to the anonymous account when he completed the order after four days of busy work: "3.2 billion--"

"Really use such a large amount of funds—"

Rao learned about Zheng Jianguo’s net worth for several days. Now, after seeing the specific amount, Benny was still a little dazzled by the series of zeros: "This is cash—"

"Benny, boss commissioned Raymond Accounting Firm to follow up the entire operation process--"

Charlie, who also looked at the string of zeros, recovered very quickly. The money was still earned through his hands, but it was as high as 4.3 billion at that time, but he also remembered the action he was about to start. Anxious: "Just short the oil contract——"

"Short oil contracts?"

Benny Budd almost couldn't believe his ears. After raising his voice more than a dozen decibels, he noticed that Adam, who was drinking coffee next to him, drew his eyes. He quickly remembered something and said, "Does he know any news? "

"This matter is still confidential, but after a while, in half an hour, I will be able to tell you—"

Charlie looked at the watch on his wrist and said, Benny also looked at his wrist subconsciously, but quickly made a choice: "No problem, just give money—"

"Then sign it."

Next to him, Adam, who was taking a sip of coffee, quickly put down the cup in his hand and pushed the folder beside him in front of Benny. The latter looked at the agreement on it, and beckoned to the assistant beside him.

As the two quickly watched it, it was only five minutes later, Benny picked up the pen, signed the name on it and left his share, and said to Charlie, who was silent next to him, "Can you tell me now?" "

"There are still a few minutes—"

Looking at the dozens of people in the brightly lit lobby next door, Charlie did not expect that this under-looking accounting firm partner had this relationship. Of course, considering the identity of the other party's Harvard Business School accounting doctorate, he knew some weird people. Take it for granted: "Are the people over there reliable?"

"Reliable and unreliable have long been planted in the sea as lotus. These people come from all over the world, and they all come to travel—"

Realizing that Charlie’s expression was a bit strange, Benny thought he didn’t believe in himself, so he continued to speak: “If Augustus hadn’t let me come, I would never have trusted your boss so quickly. Who knows he is Not a pawn of IRS?

But it’s okay if this matter is posted. It’s nothing more than paying taxes within a time limit plus a fine. Who can get the information on these accounts?"

"Augustus?"

Charlie silently remembered the name in his mind. He was not an accountant, but he also knew that the IRS penalized tax evasion, as Benny said, after finding evidence, he would first ask for back taxes and fines.

If you really want to arrest someone, you still have to do it after being rejected. The purpose of the IRS is to collect taxes as much as possible. If you have no money to pay taxes after being warned, it proves that the target is really out of money. It's time to arrest people.

However, considering that he is the FBI and is now in the permanent neutral country of Switzerland, according to the requirements, Charlie now has no law enforcement powers. Even if he returns to the country to report to the IRS, he must also state the legality of the account information in his hand.

It's just that we have to face a question. When did the FBI begin to intervene in the taxation function of the IRS?

Moreover, the FBI has no overseas law enforcement powers, which are the only powers the CIA has.

So he, the FBI, took the risk of exposure to intervene in the authority of the CIA for the duty of the IRS.

First thought of his mission or to ensure that Zheng Jianguo did not have access to the cutting-edge technology of the United States, and then Charlie thought about the consequences of doing this, and threw this idea out of his mind.

As long as Zheng Jianguo does not steal the cutting-edge technology of the United States, it will not be regarded as harming the interests of the United States. What's more, the current excessive oil prices are the real culprit that harms the American economy?

"Hi, Charlie, it's time—"

As Adam’s voice came, Charlie glanced back at the watch on his wrist, leaned forward and looked at the traders who had returned to the phone and sat down, then he opened the door and walked away. I went in, looking at twenty or thirty pairs of dark eyes and said: "Now open a short position to sell oil contracts with a leverage of 20 times, and begin to transfer into the margin——"

"20 times leverage! $64 billion—"

The face of Augustus flashed in his mind, and Benny wiped the beard at the corner of his mouth. He had vaguely remembered the faces that he had touched during the last party, but this thought flashed through, and his ears kept coming and going. 'S voice disappeared in an instant, only to realize that Charlie had closed the door: "Why didn't you look at it?"

"You don't need to watch it now, just wait for the instruction--"

Shrugged and sat down at his desk. Charlie put his legs on the table and took a newspaper and looked at it. When it turned out to be Latin, Adam next to him had already turned on the TV. After a few clicks, he found out the finances. Channel.

At the same time, in the digestive center of Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Zheng Jianguo also left a note and went to the TV of the reservation station. Under the gaze of the little nurse, he changed the channel to the financial channel: "These are all scams. Nothing to see—"

"Huh, you just want to watch the Finance Channel, are you trading in stocks—"

The little nurse’s voice came a bit louder, but Zheng Jianguo didn’t hear it and looked at the TV host’s price below: “The oil contract fell by 18 cents after the market opened, and an anonymous Soviet senior said that they had expanded production capacity. , And strive to increase by one third of the 5 million tons exported last year, in order to fight for the reduced oil exports caused by the Iranian turmoil--"

"This is Augustus's arrangement--"

Seeing the market opened, it dropped by 18 cents. Zheng Jianguo was still in a good mood. He fell from 33 US dollars and 67 cents to 33 US dollars and 49 cents. Selling 1.9 billion barrels, and multiplying these 1.9 billion barrels by the decline of 18 cents, is a gain of 342 million—

If it is a quarter of the tax rate, 80 million will have to be used to pay the tax, and if it is a one-tenth of the comprehensive tax rate, it will be 34.2 million, and the gap between in and out is as high as 50 million.

"No wonder the more money you have, the more you like tax evasion-tax avoidance."

This thought flashed in his mind, and Zheng Jianguo felt that there were many people around him. When he didn't want to turn his head before looking, he saw Augustus shook his head with a smile: "You should be in the office at this time—"

"Then I am here now—"

Zheng Jianguo raised his eyebrows and looked at the TV. The reason why he cares about the trend is that he still can't let go of the 3.2 billion US dollars that he has already obtained. However, considering that the man next to him does not know how much money has been used, he said: "Now I am not thinking. It's—"

"There may be something wrong with that Charlie. I have found out that Ulrika is an FBI agent—"

Augustus shook the piece of paper in his hand in front of Zheng Jianguo's eyes, then retracted it and looked at the latter's sudden change of face, and then took out a piece of paper from his hand before his eyes, and saw it read Line words: "Do you want me to help you?"

"There should be someone behind him?"

Looking around subconsciously, Zheng Jianguo found that at some point, the little nurse behind the appointment desk disappeared. Not even the few patients sitting on the seats in the waiting area disappeared.

Then he turned his head when he found that there was no sound. Zheng Jianguo saw that Augustus took out another piece of paper in his hand: "Of course it is done once and for all——"

"I don’t have human life on my hands, and I don’t want to contaminate human life. In this regard, because I am a doctor, and because I believe I have never done anything that violates the law, I think it’s better to keep Charlie by my side, because that’s also It can prove my innocence in disguise--"

Frowning and whispering, Zheng Jianguo looked directly at Augustus’s cheek for one second, two seconds, three seconds, and it was not until a full fifteen seconds later that he nodded and said, "Well, then Listen to you, happy cooperation—"

"Happy cooperation!"

I don’t know what the other party was thinking about, but Zheng Jianguo was very relieved, not wanting Augustus to take out a gift box from his pocket and hand it in front of him. ——"

"it is good!"

Tanshou took the gift box from the other party. Zheng Jianguo opened it and looked at it. From the ring face, it was no different from his own Harvard Medical School ring. It was put on the finger. It was not too big or too small. He smiled and said, "Considering that I still have a lot of opportunities for surgery in the future, maybe I will really lose it.

"Then bring the necklace when you have an operation—"

Once again, he said with a serious face, and Augustus glanced at the TV again and said: "Let's see it again at 10:45, now there is nothing good about these—"

"Okay, then go sit in my office?"

Remembering this time in his heart, Zheng Jianguo also sent out an invitation, but Augustus smiled and said, "I still have someone else to meet. When you come to the meeting at the end of the month, let's sit down again. You should also see you by the way. Some friends."

"That's fine, I'll take you to the elevator entrance~"

Raising his finger to the elevator in the distance, Zheng Jianguo said that after Augustus did not object, but silently until the door of the elevator, he said: "Your phone still can't be used. If you are in a hurry, use the outside. Phone."

"it is good!"

Zheng Jianguo nodded the Kung Fu elevator door opened, Augustus also raised his foot and walked in. As the elevator door closed, he frowned: "Charlie is really the FBI—"

Since he used his hair as a marker at the door and found that someone had installed a wiretap, Zheng Jianguo found the suspect FBI in a blockbuster American drama in his memory. Although the police finally gave a man from South Vietnam to pretend, he did not come up with a real hammer. The evidence comes.

Especially when he knew that this was nonsense by simple counter-reasoning, Nan Yue dare to install a bug in the United States?In this world, there are only terrorists who dare not use the FBI as dry food on the ground in the United States.

Of course, this refers to the United States in Zheng Jianguo's memory. After he came to the United States at this time, he found that from the bottom to the top, he was reflecting on the pain caused by the Vietnam War.

In fact, if we only analyze the loss figures, if the United States had not accumulated a huge family business in World War II, the Soviets would have fallen apart. From 1955 to 1975, a total of 2.5 million soldiers took turns in battle.

Among these 2.5 million people, more than 58,000 were killed and 300,000 injured. In addition to 250 billion military expenditures, this was the direct military expenditures between 1955 and 1975. If the indirect expenditures are included, it will exceed 400 billion US dollars.

Referring to the Soviets that invaded Afghanistan in 1979, the war cost announced by the director general after the end of the war in Afghanistan was only 46 billion rubles, or about 20 billion U.S. dollars.

In the United States, it took 20 years to destroy 400 billion and it didn't hurt. The Soviets took 10 years to destroy 20 billion and everyone quit.

Of course, it cannot be said that the United States has nothing to do. The pain caused by the war to the American people is still deep enough, so deep that someone wrote a book called "Vietnam: An Epic Tragedy, 1945-1975", and it was so popular. The top three bestseller lists.

In fact, in Zheng Jianguo's view, the reason why the United States did not want to fight was because the fourth Middle East war that broke out triggered the first oil crisis.

When the United States was playing Zhenghai in Vietnam, it did not forget to intervene in the Middle East, pulling a group of young men to support Israel.

It was only the consequence that the oil kings completely quit, so they united and formed an alliance to increase oil prices. This caused a 14% drop in American industrial production the following year and a 20% drop in Japan, so that the British economy grew in 1974. The rate is -0.5%, the United States is -1.75%, and Japan is -3.5%.

Just because of this price increase, the oil kings, who had only $30 billion in revenue in 1973, collected 110 billion U.S. dollars instead of falling in 1974, which completely caused the United States to pay attention to oil.

The economy is not good, and they have only experienced the trauma of war. So the American people at this time are a bit like the "Monroe Doctrine" before 1941. They can consider making money. Fighting is absolutely impossible.

However, the Vietnam War in the United States was not without gains. As far as Zheng Jianguo knows, there are many black technologies in his memory that changed the war situation in the Sea Bowl War. It was about this time that the project began to be established, and finally a pattern of cross-generational strikes was formed.

But that is the military industry.

As for the external CIA and internal FBI, given the warnings and concerns of not being able to cause war, the enthusiasm for work is not high at this time.

Of course, this can also be seen from the complete failure of "Operation Eagle Claw": out of the 8 helicopters used in desert operations, 3 of them were unable to adapt to the climate to the extent that they could not fly normally.

It’s all about being unable to fly. After all, it’s normal for a machine to malfunction temporarily. However, when the operation was withdrawn, there was a collision between a helicopter and a transport plane. The typical stealing of chickens failed to eclipse the rice, and the uncles of the White House We didn’t find the chin, Carter’s poll reached the lowest point ever-

This is the elite American soldier?

So for Charlie, the FBI agent, Zheng Jianguo felt that it was better to stay than to kill. What's more, he didn't plan to do anything to harm the United States. If he was killed, it would be no silver three hundred taels here, and it was returned to Ogu. What a big handle for Stu?
