Hong Kong Movies: The Boss's Global Empire

Chapter 42: We Can’t Let Wendong Do a Loss-Making Business

Since he dared to lend money to Lu Wendong, he must have assessed the relevant situation.

Lu Wendong said: "Everyone's cycle is only one or two months."

Brother Ji and others nodded, that's true.

"Wendong, of course I hope you can do better and better, and your career will become bigger and bigger." Although Brother Ji spoke beautifully,

But he was very cautious: "I'll still help you get some business." Lu Wendong nodded: "Thank you, Brother Ji."

Big Brother B hesitated and said, "Wendong, you know, I have two children and can't take any risks, just like Brother Ji." "Understood."

Thirteenth Sister was very straightforward. She had already lost millions, so it didn't matter if she lost a little more.

She said, "Wendong, I support you. I will invest 200 million." Lu Wendong bowed and said, "Thank you, big sister."

After careful consideration, he said, "Wendong, how about this? The three of us brothers will pool together 500 million." Lu Wendong smiled slightly.

The facts were pretty much as he had expected.

Brother Ji is a fence-sitter.

It doesn't matter whether there is investment or not. The reason why Brother B hesitated is,

It’s not because he has two children at home, but because he needs to see what Jiang Tiansheng thinks.

Those who really want to board their own ship,

Instead, it was the Thirteenth Sister and the three Han brothers.

Lu Wendong thought about it, that is to say,

The only four halls that I can actually influence are Brother Ji and Big Brother B.

As long as it is well operated,

They will also go with the wind.

Actually, it is almost the same.

Although this is an investment meeting,

This is also Lu Wendong's silent test!

Lu Wendong was quite satisfied.

Brother Ji winked at Long Jingyin, who kept looking at Lu Wendong: "Wendong, where's your daughter~" "?" Long Jingyin said coquettishly: "Brother Ji, I've already invested 10 million."

Everyone took a breath of cool air.

They looked at each other,

Wendong is really amazing.

He just grabbed a treasure bowl in his hand.

They are all old brands in the underworld.

I still know a little about the Long family's situation.

It is said that the Long family traveled between the mainland, Frog Island, and Hong Kong Island.

Smuggling is a big business, making a fortune every day!

The Long family only has one precious daughter, Long Jingyin. Later,

Everyone knows that this business will be passed on to Long Jingyin. Even if Long Jingyin does nothing later,

There is a mountain of gold at home!

And looking at the current situation, this gold mountain,

I'm afraid it will fall into Lu Wendong's hands!

No wonder Wendong was so arrogant that he built a yacht to pick everyone up, and also set up charity funds and investment funds.

Brother Ji was shocked.

He couldn't help but ask again: "Wendong, how much are you planning to raise for this fund?" Lu Wendong smiled and said: "1 million in equity!"

"Whoa, wait."

Thirteenth sister was more careful. She suddenly remembered,

Wen Dong said earlier

The bank valued his new milk tea shop at 6 million yuan. Now let's do the math!

Thirteenth Sister lost her voice: "Wendong, then your net worth has exceeded 10 billion, right?"

Everyone was stunned. What?

Brother Ji cleaned his ears.

He shouted, "Thirteenth sister, are you mistaken?" If I remember correctly,

Lu Wendong has only been out in the world for a few months.

Grabbing money?

wrong!

Even if it's money grabbing,

It can't be that fast! "What could possibly go wrong?"

Thirteenth sister is much better than Brother Ji in settling accounts

She said quickly, "Just the businesses under Lu Wendong's name, if you calculate it, it's worth hundreds of millions." "Wendong, the Golden Leopard business is pretty good, making hundreds of thousands a month, right?"

Hundreds of thousands?

Multiply by 20, about the same.

Lu Wendong said vaguely, "Almost." He is a relatively low-key person.

Brother Ji shouted, "Is he really a billionaire?"

Big Brother B was also surprised. He remembered it very clearly.

When Lu Wendong brought Gao Jin to him,

Really empty-handed!

It's only been a few months, how come it has grown so fast?

Lawrence Lu waved his hands repeatedly: “No, no, no, that’s a bit exaggerated.”

He laughed and said, "Valuation is valuation, after all, it didn't go into my pocket." Lu Wendong said lightly, "It's only a few hundred million.

"What?"

After hearing Lu Wendong's confession, Brother Ji and the others all jumped up!

"A few hundred million?" Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

Brother Ji murmured, "Is business really that profitable?" "Is it making movies?"

Thirteenth Sister said with a smile, "My friends in Taiwan said that A Better Tomorrow has become a big hit in Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea." "Wendong, your new drama is coming out soon, right?"

Lu Wendong nodded: "Almost, it is expected to be released next month." Speaking of this,

Lu Wendong said, "We're already preparing for a new play." "Director Mori's A Better Tomorrow 2 is almost finished."

"When the time comes, I will integrate the future profits of these two films into the fund." Lu Wendong plans to operate the film in the form of finance.

He is doing a test now.

Let's see what we have gained in Hong Kong Island.

The premise is that Lu Wendong has to deal with the listed company. People don't understand at all.

They only knew that Lu Wendong seemed to be doing something big,

Then he murmured, "Wendong, will you still invest in your movies in the future?"

They all knew that Lu Wendong was using film production to launder money, but,

Because of the success of A Better Tomorrow,

They also hope to get a share of the investment. Lu Wendong smiled and said, "Of course we need it."

"If you are interested, you can buy it directly from the fund."

It is impossible for Lu Wendong to give up his initial equity like he did in A Better Tomorrow.

He will run these businesses through capital operation.

He will share some benefits with those who are willing to join Lu Wendong.

For example, the money laundering commission issue. Everyone exclaimed,

I feel a little sorry. But think about it,

Wendong's business has grown so big.

There are many people I come into contact with,

It is normal to do this now. They sighed in their hearts,

Speaking of,

Wendong is progressing too fast.

Lu Wendong followed up, "Boss, have you read the recent police training?" Everyone shook their heads.

Brother Ji said, "We're just gangsters. We don't want to be in government offices when we're alive, and we don't want to go to the hospital when we're injured." "Who would care about Hua Yaozi's information?"

Lu Wendong said patiently, "The police have recently established a new unit called the Joint Financial Intelligence Unit."

Ji Ge yelled, "The cops love to play tricks like this." "What does this have to do with us?"

Lu Wendong shook his head: "The Joint Financial Intelligence Group is directly under the Financial Intelligence and Investigation Section of the Criminal Department of the Criminal and Security Department of the Police Force. It is a joint unit composed of personnel from the Police Force and the Customs.

Its main responsibility is to handle cases related to drug trafficking (recovery of proceeds) ordinance (Chapter 405) and organized and serious crime ordinance (Chapter 455).

Report of suspicious financial activities (money laundering). Everyone blinked as they listened.

I feel like I don't understand at all.

But the content here seems very familiar.

Lu Wendong added: "The Joint Financial Intelligence Unit has a Financial Investigation Unit under it. Its primary responsibility is to work closely with overseas law enforcement agencies to curb the activities of criminal syndicates linked to Hong Kong in other jurisdictions. It also aims to track, freeze and confiscate the assets of criminal syndicates (including those involved in pornography, illegal gambling, fraud, financial crimes and loan sharking, etc.), as well as terrorist financing activities."

Lu Wendong is different from Big Brother B and others.

He takes time every day to read the latest newspapers, gazettes and police training, so he paid attention to this information at the first time.

Brother Ji and the others asked, "Wendong, what exactly do you mean?" "Hong Kong will crack down on money laundering."

Everyone said,

They immediately looked relieved: "Wendong, the police say the same thing every year."

"Aren't we all still galloping and dancing?"

"This time is different."

Lu Wendong said: "On the day of its establishment, the Financial Investigation Team announced that it would join the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and the Asia-Pacific Group on Money Laundering."

“Ladies and gentlemen, Hong Kong’s money laundering industry is about to enter a new era.”

"Some small-scale tax issues may be refocused before, so everyone should be cautious when using money." "At the same time, given the serious situation, I will suspend business for half a month to organize plans to deal with the wealth investigation team." Everyone's face changed,

They then realized that something was wrong. No one would leave money unearned.

Now Lu Wendong said that he would suspend the money laundering business for half a month, which shows that this investigation team is probably not just for show.

"Wendong? Is it that serious?"

Lu Wendong nodded: "Very serious!"

"Ladies and Gentlemen, in the past, there were multiple departments responsible for handling money laundering in Hong Kong."

"For example, Customs, ICAC, Commercial Crime Bureau, etc."

"Before, these departments were independent of each other, competed with each other, and rarely exchanged information."

"Now, they have jointly established a joint financial intelligence team with the purpose of spreading information. For us, the difficulty will naturally increase." "Good!"

Thirteenth Sister suddenly clapped her hands. Everyone looked sideways.

among them,

Brother Ji yelled, "Thirteenth sister, what are you doing?"

Thirteenth Sister was speechless: "I am really impressed by you rough guys."

"Since Wendong is paying attention to this and has told us about it, it means he must have a solution." Everyone thought it was right.

His face brightened immediately: "That's right, that's right."

Brother Ji shouted, "Wendong, you are a smart man. It doesn't matter what you do."

Lu Wendong shook his head: “Boss, once the Joint Financial Intelligence Group comes out, all costs will increase.”

"From now on, if it's your bosses' money, I'll only charge 13 points. If it's from outside, I'll charge 15 points." "You can decide for yourself."

The cost of money laundering is inherently volatile.

It should be said that it is increasing year by year.

The reason why its cost increases year by year is naturally due to external attacks.

In Lu Wendong's later life, a sum of money was washed back and forth.

Being able to keep 4% is already considered benevolent and righteous, while the average rate is only 3%.

That's it,

People may not be willing to do it.

Of course,

The current situation is different from that of later times.

The overall situation in Hong Kong Island is still relatively relaxed.

So the general market here is about 15 points to 20 points. Generally speaking,

(Zhao Hao) It’s 20 points.

Lu Wendong took into account the long-term benefits.

In addition, they need to attract more people to join their own ship, so they are willing to give up some interests.

Long Jingyin looked at Big Brother B and others nervously. Before this,

She has received a notice from Lu Wendong.

Long Jingyin naturally supports and understands Lu Wendong, but she is worried that Big Brother B and others will be unhappy.

after all,

Just a few points.

That's a number ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions or even tens of millions.

The top deck immediately fell silent, with only the sound of wind and waves.

Lu Wendong drank slowly and calmly.

Even if it rises to 15 points,

These people will never find a better deal or more trustworthy one in Hong Kong.

If they can't even accept this, then Lu Wendong won't care at all.

"That makes sense. Costs have gone up, so of course the fees have to go up."

Thirteenth Sister spoke first: "We can't let Wendong do business at a loss. By the way, Wendong, these two points in the middle are rebates, right?" Lu Wendong nodded with a smile: "Of course."

It is difficult to gain weight by eating alone.

Lu Wendong started his business with the first fund provided by the Hongxing boss.
