I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping-Chapter 2186 - 1397: First Update

The snow-white airplane was like a seagull, cutting through the azure sky.

"It’s been a long time since I’ve come to Kyoto."

Upon landing in the Kyoto hall, Wang sighed deeply, then turned his head to look at the Fourth Miss who happened to be on the same flight as him.

Indeed.

Happened.

"Is the Fourth Miss returning after the meeting? What date? Maybe we can travel together."

Tch.

He’s considering going together and returning together.

"Not sure."

To this hottest figure in Haojiang, who is also the family’s most handy moneymaking tool, the exotic and model-like Fourth Miss He showed basic politeness—not enthusiastic, yet definitely not cold.

"It’s okay, I can wait for the Fourth Miss."

As they walked and talked, entering the airport VIP passage, the entourage quietly followed behind, not a sound to be heard.

"No need, see you in Haojiang."

Zhong Xiaoye, rejected again, paid no mind. Dressed sharply in a suit with slicked hair, he was the epitome of elegance.

"Alright then."

He stopped appropriately upon exiting the airport, "Fourth Miss, take care."

Their purposes for coming to Kyoto were different, and their paths would diverge thereafter.

Fourth Miss He nodded and led her entourage away.

Zhong Xiaoye squinted, watching the other party board the convoy.

"Boss, the Fourth Miss is really too proud. Even the Second Miss wouldn’t be so disrespectful in front of you."

After people left, one of Zhong Xiaoye’s underlings couldn’t hold it in, standing up for the boss.

When one prospers, all nearby benefit.

Though he dared only mutter softly, in Haojiang, he was an influential figure, ruling with absolute authority. When he said to cut off a hand, it was never the foot.

Zhong Xiaoye turned his head and gave him a cold glance.

Just one simple look, and the loyal underling shivered in fear.

"Slap yourself."

"Slap, slap, slap..."

Without another word, the underling slapped his own face loudly, without regard for anyone else, without even a hint of perfunctory.

With a tiger comes danger.

Following such a boss, one must understand a principle.

Thunder and dew, both are blessings.

"Is the Fourth Miss someone like us? She comes to Kyoto to attend a national meeting, where is the comparison with us?"

The underling, his face red from slapping, hurriedly nodded and bowed, agreeing quickly.

"The boss is right! It was me speaking nonsense."

Zhong Xiaoye, having mildly disciplined him, stopped there and walked towards his convoy.

The spirited underlings immediately followed.

"Boss, the Kyoto Hotel has been booked."

The Kyoto Hotel.

Located next to the Forbidden City.

It might not be the best hotel in Kyoto, but it’s definitely the most unique.

Perhaps compared to the He Family, he lacked heritage, but the only difference was their status in the underworld.

As long as given time, surpassing the He Family is no problem!

"Head to the Heaven and Earth Bank you mentioned first."

Zhong Xiaoye said plainly.

"Okay."

The underling immediately issued orders, and the convoy changed routes.

"Boss, I already tried this Heaven and Earth Bank, and they have tricks up their sleeve, transferring five billion in such a way that no one notices."

The handprint on his face hadn’t faded, yet it was as if nothing had happened. This is the demeanor of someone who achieves great things.

Haojiang’s businesses may be legal and compliant, but their biggest trump card is the global online gambling empire Moon City and their overseas projects.

This involves a crucial issue.

How to legitimize non-compliant funds.

The principle of money laundering is roughly divided into three stages.

Placement.

Layering.

And integration.

Placement is the first step in money laundering, introducing illegal funds into the financial system. Common methods include splitting transactions, breaking large sums into smaller amounts for deposit to avoid notice by regulatory bodies. Additionally, cash smuggling, bringing cash to other countries for deposit. Using cash-intensive industries, like hotels and restaurants, mixing illegal funds into daily revenue. Purchasing high-value items like art and jewelry is also a common tactic, as these are easy to resell and high in value, aiding in hiding the source of funds.

This is why at auctions, some art pieces incomprehensible to normal people fetch prices equally unfathomable.

Then comes layering, obscuring the origin of funds through complex transactions, such as wire transfers, multiple accounts or countries to make tracking challenging. Using shell companies or offshore entities, which have no actual business, solely for transferring and hiding funds. Securities trading, frequent buying and selling of stocks, bonds to confuse the flow of funds. And also virtual currencies, due to their high anonymity, are very suitable for hiding funds.

Finally comes the integration stage, reintegration of the previously laundered funds into the economy, including fake investments—investing in real estate, films, or businesses to make illegal funds appear as legitimate investment returns. Loan backflows, using illegal funds as collateral for legitimate loans. Purchasing luxury goods or assets like luxury cars, mansions, then converting them into cash.

In summary.

Dirty water cannot be used directly, it must be filtered and purified. When the volume is too large, to increase efficiency, it requires more channels which can also diminish the risk of detection by regulatory systems.

The He Family sent He Yihui to Kyoto for official business, while one of Zhong Xiaoye’s goals on this trip was to reach a partnership with this newly opened Heaven and Earth Bank.

"Heaven and Earth Bank. I hope its strength matches its name."

Financial Street, number twenty-six.

When Zhong Xiaoye walked into the bank’s door, someone was waiting to greet him.

"Mr. Xiao."

But it wasn’t directed at him, instead towards his underling.

Indeed.

No matter how thriving Zhong Xiaoye was in Haojiang, or how prominent his mainland investments, he wasn’t a celebrity, not everyone is bound to know him.

As a bank, they would surely only recognize their own clients.

According to Heaven and Earth Bank’s client classification, the aforementioned underling having talked about transferring tens of billions, is surely a billion asset holder and a Red Card VIP.

Yet even then, shockingly only a single manager came for reception, the bank president did not make an appearance.

Zhong Xiaoye only brought one person, yet he wasn’t bothered, staying silent, but the Xiao surnamed underling was quite displeased, feeling slighted.

"Manager Li, have you forgotten I said my boss would come today?"

The manager glanced at Zhong Xiaoye, offering a formulaic smile, "Of course, Mr. Xiao, what you said is remembered. Our president awaits the two of you in the office."

In the office?

Ha.

What a big shot!

The underling’s anger slightly subsided, about to erupt again, but a sound came to his ear.

"Please lead the way."

He immediately silenced.

"This way, please."

Zhong Xiaoye calmly followed.

It’s good to have a big shot.

A big shot.

Means strength.

What he needs is an empowered partner.
