Start North America 1400: nation building

Chapter 107 [106] Patriotic businessman

Now, March 12.

The pasture leased by buying horses in Texas earlier has not yet expired, so Zhou Li'an took over the H225 after maintenance in Texas.

Dezhou is the final assembly center of Airbus in the Eurocopter business.

The next day, Christmas Eve.

Zhou Li'an returned to Juarez and set off with Wang Defa at the airport.

Comrade Lao Wang has been in high spirits in the past two years. The unit price of fur at the tannery eventually dropped to 800 dollars, but the shipment volume remained stable at an average of 2 pieces per month, which also made him a lot of money.

He also sent out an invitation, "How about spending Christmas and New Years with my family? You are no longer an outsider!"

Lao Wang still doesn't know Zhou Li'an's itinerary.

Only then did he show his cards and raised the ticket in his hand: "Sorry, I have an appointment, and this time I'm flying to Mexico City."

"Mexico City..." Wang De was in a daze for a moment, then tactfully said no more.

Recently, he felt that the distance between Zhou Li'an and Zhou Li'an was getting farther and farther.

This guy didn't come to Juarez very much to stay, and later he specially recruited Barbara, a professional manager, to manage the finances and opened several new factories.

Apart from seeing each other every now and then for deliveries, the relationship became more and more deserted.

But at this point, Wang Defa is also satisfied.

The money is almost earned, even if Zhou Li'an wants to kick him out of the car, he has no complaints, let alone prying into other people's private affairs.

After all, Zhou Li'an was a dangerous person in his eyes.

Serious people help fugitives smuggle into Mexico?
Lao Wang is old and only seeks money; unlike David Liang, he still has the determination to seek the value of life and climb up.

But if he is twenty years younger, he must also want to get closer to Zhou Li'an and seek a higher class transition.

In this regard, both of them tacitly agreed.

This is also the reason why Zhou Li'an didn't pull him into the balanced mining industry. The old man's status as a tool worker has almost come to an end, and he can announce that he will be offline at any time.

In the VIP waiting room, Lao Wang said goodbye first: "Then I wish you a happy holiday."

"Hehe, send my regards to your family."

3 hours later.

Zhou Li'an landed in Mexico City.

Salvador showed up and took him on a chartered flight to the Caribbean.

"Mr. Zhou, thanks to you, our recent crisis pressure has become less and less. With the status of Balanced Mining, I believe it will not be long before Boss Cajero's arrest warrant will be lifted."

This is the advantage of laundering and going ashore. With a legal source of income, they will have a new layer of protection. They are no longer pure gang power groups.

Zhou Li'an will not comment on this, let alone remind them not to "forget their roots".

Both Cajero and Juan are very clear that their base is still the armed group of 6 brothers under them. If they are all whitewashed, it will be the end of the day.

There must be a balance in many things, there must be sunlight, and there must be night to rest.

evening.

Zhou Li'an finally arrived at Cayero's private island again.

Jonah, Patricia and David Leung, plus Juan and his wife Ola came to greet them in person.

Ola was the first to give a face-to-face gift, showing her closeness, and explained on behalf of her father, "The officials/officials of the Ministry of Mining are all at the banquet, and my father knows that your identity is sensitive, so it is inconvenient to come to greet you in person. , so as not to attract attention."

Afterwards, Juan also came up and hugged, "Zhou, please stay a little longer this time, let us treat you well, my friend!"

Zhou Li'an smiled and said, "As you wish, after Christmas and New Years, we will officially become neighbors."

Juan was stunned for half a second, and said in surprise: "Is this true?"

Zhou Li'an nodded: "Of course, winter in North America is not very pleasant."

After greeting Jonah and David Liang again, the group set off for the palace manor in a sightseeing bus up the mountain.

at this time.

Patricia did her part and sat beside Zhou Li'an.

Jonah chatted with David Liang about the company affairs by himself, with an attitude of keeping an eye on his nose, his nose, his nose, and his heart.

Now, instead, he thinks... If his daughter can marry Zhou Li'an, it will be a better protection for her.

After all, things have come to this, don't expect any normal life.

Jonah and David Liang are in charge of the company's operations, but Patricia has been showing her face in the Cajero Group recently.

It is only said that three days ago, after Jonah and David Liang went to the island, they discovered that Cajero's subordinates had already begun to obey Patricia's orders.

And after careful observation, it can be found that...

This is not because of Cajero or Juan's face, the eyes of those subordinates are obviously full of fear and panic from the heart.

In the car, Zhou Li'an asked lightly, "How are you doing?"

Patricia's eyes were out of focus, and she seemed to never be able to find a meeting point. She said mechanically like a walking dead, "There have been several conflicts in the mining area. Some people want to get your hands on your gold. I have solved them all."

These words came from a girl who was less than twenty years old, and it seemed a bit cold and strange.

But the nature of the world is like this, it is just a fig leaf of law and morality, covering up the hatred, struggle and primitive nature among people.

In other words, after 1 year of balance, Xue Nu was already a ruthless character who could stab someone's chin with a dagger without hesitation when she was still young.

Because in that barren and savage era, it was a bloody jungle where the strong preyed on the weak, and there was no fig leaf to speak of.

"Are you still used to your current life?"

The girl turned her head and made eye contact with Zhou Li'an for the first time after meeting, "I like it very much."

Zhou Li'an smiled.

Not just get used to it, but like it, and then it'll be fine.

He thought for a while, and added, "Recently, let's learn Spanish."

Patricia nodded without asking why, "I see."

mountain top.

Zhou Li'an's arrival did not attract much attention.

Because there were more than a hundred guests, when he got off the plane, he found many business jets and private charter jets, and there were many luxury yachts moored at the pier.

As Juan and Ola introduced...

There are official senior staff, as well as rich merchants, each with their own female relatives.

Juan and his wife also behaved normally when they went to greet them. The people who came were either rich or noble, and the hosts should pay attention to them.

Zhou Li'an found a place to eat in the corner, only Patricia was with him.

Because, Jonah and David Liang have already become the hottest figures in the field, and they keep in touch with all kinds of people.

This is very good, with no sense of presence, and be a hidden boss.

Full of wine and food.

Zhou Li'an planned to leave and go to his own Huishi Island to stay.

Unexpectedly, Cajero had been waiting outside the door for a long time, "Mr. Zhou, I'm neglecting you today. You know my respect for you, and I didn't deliberately neglect you."

Zhou Li'an waved his hand, seeming not to care, Cayero was just being polite, both of them knew that Zhou Li'an's identity was inconvenient to stand in front of the stage.

Cajero got into the car with the two of them and produced a financial statement on the way to the pier.

Equilibrium Mining has been established for nearly 4 months, and its gold delivery volume has reached 142000 ounces, totaling 4 tons.

Excluding the official purchase price of 2% of the shares, the income is 2.03 million US dollars.

Zhou Li'an's personal account was 1.6 million, and the remaining 4000 million was owned by Cajero. This money can be said to be lying in his hands without any cost investment.

After he finished reading, Cajero continued: "The tax department's tax on mineral profits is 8%, which is a separate category from the corporate operating income tax."

"To be honest, this is why many people are unwilling to try to go ashore for nothing after tasting the huge profits of smuggling, smoking food and arms business."

"Instead of paying taxes, the interest rate on our lizard money is not so scary."

Zhou Li'an heard what he meant.

Nearly 4 months after opening, the seeds of greed began to take root.

"What do you mean?"

Cajero didn't have any embarrassment, and said directly: "The officials want us to increase the amount of mining, and because our gold mining is less difficult, the labor aspect has not helped local employment..."

"Of course, all of this depends on what you want, but apart from that, I think the industrial investment proposed by Mr. Zhou can be gradually implemented. We should use money to generate more money."

Cajero is not stupid and will not insist on increasing shipments.

The next best thing is to create new income points.

It's also a test...

The pancake that Mr. Zhou drew at the beginning should also start making noodles, right?Aren't you going to support us?Then start to act!Let us see your sincerity!

"it is good."

"Well, we can talk about these things slowly... huh? What? What did you say?" Cajero didn't expect to reach a consensus right away. The Christmas holiday is still long, and he just heard from Juan that Zhou Li'an is going to be in the Caribbean. Take a vacation for a while, and there is plenty of time to facilitate follow-up cooperation.

However, Zhou Li'an's reaction made him dumbfounded, "I agree! We can start industrial investment!"

"Equilibrium Mining Group established a new wholly-owned subsidiary, negotiated with the government for tax reduction and exemption, and still used the three-party holding as a bargaining chip to get the last preferential policy support treatment."

"In terms of start-up capital, I can contribute 2 million US dollars first, and the follow-up investment can continue to be filled from our gold proceeds."

Calle Romon, is this a deal?

And the mouth is 2 million.

You know, this money is all of Zhou Li'an's 6 tons of gold proceeds.

Cajero was skeptical about Zhou Li'an's grand layout at the beginning. After all, this is an investment of real money, and investment has risks.

Moreover, it is quite unrealistic for an outsider to take root in Mexico and become bigger and stronger.

But Zhou Li'an has now shown his attitude.

Industrial investment is still carried out in the form of tripartite cooperation.

He wants to get officials to accompany him, and he does not hesitate to sell profits to open the way for industrial investment and avoid being suppressed and targeted.

This is clearly not an act of personal gain.

On the contrary, this is completely in line with the original intention of the goal he described at the beginning, without any intention of evading or repenting.

Supporting Juan to become a puppet of the Eastern Kingdom?
sizzle.

Cayero was dumbfounded.

It wasn't until the car stopped at the port that Zhou Li'an patted him on the shoulder to wake him up, "Caillero, I am a person who wants to do big things. If you are only limited to the hundreds of millions or billions of gold income in front of you, then I Will be very disappointed!"

"Looking long, the pattern needs to be big..."

"Our journey is the sea of ​​stars!"

"Believe me, as long as we work together, the world will belong to us!"

Cayero was short of breath, and his body felt floating...

The sea of ​​stars?

The world will be ours?
"Of course." Zhou Li'an paused, then changed the topic, "I have one more request."

Cayero nodded immediately, "Say it."

"The direction of industrial investment must be in the direction of heavy industry, manufacturing and chemical industry. Find a way to let the government establish the direction of control, so as not to touch any taboo projects. We have shown our sincerity, and they have to show it."

"After all, the official shares are under the control of the state-owned management, and the other part of the shares is in the Cajero Group. You are Mexicans."

"And me, you can think of me as an angel investor!"

"Of course, you are very clear that the return on investment I want is not money... Do you understand what I mean?"

The old man over [-] years old now looks like an ignorant teenager, listening and being taught, and nodded blankly: "I understand!"

"Then let's do it, my friend. I will be on Greystone Island recently! I hope that after the new year, Equilibrium can enter a new future."

Zhou Li'an got off the car, followed by Patricia.

Cajero was half a beat behind and followed, "I'll see you on board."

This gesture is a lot more humble.

Cajero was very ashamed, probably a kind of self-shaming and indignation of judging the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Now it is no longer the level of force, but the world of difference in structure and realm.

While Cajero was coveting the shares of the 100 tons of gold, Zhou Li'an waved his hand and wanted to put all the proceeds into industrial investment.

Look at it this way...

Reasonable.

"They" cannot enter Mexico with cash investment, because the scheme is too big, so they found themselves, and they did not hesitate to use gold as a cover for mining. After such a turnover of profits, the local funds were completely washed away.

He also hooked up with officials and tied them up with share interests.

Official vigilance must be minimized.

Because the gold is put into the warehouse and becomes a reserve, but the large amount of cash paid is still kept in Mexico, and local investment is made to drive development and employment.

Transform.

The Balance Group has become a "Mexican patriotic businessman"! !
Zhou Li'an boarded the boat and bid farewell to Cajero.

Wait for that yacht to go away.

Cayero stood there, unable to recover for a long time.

Until another car came, Juan hurried over and asked, "Father-in-law, how did the talk go? Did Mr. Zhou agree to increase the shipment? He was the one who proposed to increase the output after half a year... ..."

When Cayero heard this, he looked at his son-in-law bitterly, without saying a word.

Juan was puzzled, "What happened? Did Mr. Zhou...repent?"

Cajero felt helpless, but he also knew that his thoughts were the same as his son-in-law's at the beginning, only limited to the immediate interests, and he was skeptical about the description of the territory.

"No, Mr. Zhou intends to use the 6 tons of gold proceeds to invest in our industry and officially let the Cajero Group go ashore!"

"As for gold... the follow-up shipments will definitely increase, and Mr. Zhou will use the proceeds to continue investing in new companies."

"What?" Juan exclaimed, realized the point, looked around again, and lowered his voice, "Doesn't that mean that everything you said was true?"

Cayero took a long breath, then smiled, looking forward to a better future, and patted Juan on the shoulder, "Our hands are covered with blood, but we have a chance to become..."

"Maybe this is God's redemption. I hope we can make up for our past sins and do some good things for the world, the country and the people!"

Juan swallowed hard.

He was dazed for a long time, his cheeks flushed, and he subconsciously said: "No, father-in-law, this is not God's salvation, this is...

A gift from Mr. Zhou! !
It is the shroud of will from the East! "
