MTL - Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant-Chapter 417 Bad things
Chapter 417 Bad things
A few days later, September also arrived.
Wang Le sent Harry to preschool to prepare to receive the unique free education in the United States. Basically, he just had fun for a day. He was not as picky as An Feng. Strictly speaking, An Feng's pickiness was also caused by Joanna. , She hopes that her daughter can meet the standards in her heart.
Alice also successfully advanced to primary school, preparing for the first grade.
On the first day of school, Mom and Dad sent her there in person.
Primary school schedules in the United States are generally adjusted according to sunrise and sunset times. Different states and regions are different, and schools are also different. This hill school...the name has nothing to do with geography. The school start time of this elementary school is half past eight, and the end of school is three o'clock.
The area of primary schools is not large. American primary schools generally have about 300 students, and some are even less, because schools are densely distributed in every community, and there is not much difference between schools, which will not cause crowding of famous schools...Of course there are, especially in big cities The locals are also flocking to private schools.
There are very few classes in the school, and each class has about twenty students.
There are 15 students in Alice's class, and the nature is quite special. Some teachers came from the UK, and it took a lot of effort to obtain the US teacher's license. They are responsible for aspects that the US does not have, such as the standard emphasis on the British accent class, gentlemen and ladies etiquette etc.
There is a joke that private schools in the UK teach students how to tie more than public schools.
Of course, the extra cost of private schools cannot be spent only on how to tie a tie. In fact, it is a kind of elite education that gives priority to the starting line, which is a little different from American-style education. Joanna believes that British education is easier to cultivate gentlemen and ladies, rather than the free and easy of Americans.
Apart from the extra elite content, Alice’s class is also similar to the United States in other aspects, mainly focusing on children’s physical and mental health. The American philosophy is: only with a healthy body and mind can you be able to learn other knowledge. Education focuses on "body and mind".
Therefore, the teaching environment in the United States is very relaxed. Children’s classrooms are messy and they can talk at any time. Children in the third and fourth grades are not good at multiplication and division, and even struggle with addition and subtraction... In general, American education has both advantages and disadvantages. , so the mother of the child specifically requires the optimal environment.
Joanna doesn’t like this kind of laxity very much. British education is also free, but children’s relaxation and laxity are different.
An Feng spared no expense to create an educational environment. They plan to send Alice to a private public school in the UK after their child graduates from primary school. The private schools in the UK are among the top in the world. However, there are also disadvantages. Going to Anfeng's work over there will definitely not be able to effectively take care of it.
But things still have at least six years, they can think about it slowly.
Sending Alice to the school gate, she said goodbye to her parents: "Goodbye, Mom and Dad!"
"Have fun!" An Feng said.
"Goodbye!" Joanna waved to her.
From the time the child enters school, there is no need to worry. This is her independent process, and it is also a place for her to deal with all kinds of children. The teacher will be responsible for how to educate her. They stood at the door for a while, An Feng said: "Let's go, the child is fine."
…
In October, Bazel specially interviewed An Feng and brought a bad thing.
An Feng was surprised: "You mean someone is going to attack us?"
Bazel brought internal intelligence, and several members of Congress proposed to check the overseas accounts of some large multinational companies, especially those with offshore companies. The gray area of offshore companies has been mentioned by lawmakers in recent years, but under the Anderson administration, there was usually not enough attention.
This is not something you can manage if you want to, it involves the interests of too many people. After the Democratic Party came to power, some people wanted to do something about it one after another. The president's response was very vague, and he didn't deny it. Some people predicted that it might be done here. It has been delayed for more than a year, and now the wind is coming.
As long as the government orders an investigation of these multinational corporations, they will almost certainly catch them, including GP Corporation, Beta Corporation, and various other large corporations. Not only will the Texas consortium suffer, but other consortiums will also suffer. But there is no doubt that they will lose the most.
After hearing this, An Feng knew that this was a way to kill one thousand enemies and harm eight hundred, but this is currently the most effective way to shake the Texas consortium—if only targeting them, the result would be no less than fighting a tiger with a knife—suicide road. But when the attack is indiscriminate, the consortium cannot escape.
"Very likely." Bazel gave a relatively clear answer.
"Aren't they almost bankrupt?" An Feng wondered.
"As long as the market exists and there is competition, there will never be a lack of competitors." Bazel said philosophically.
"Then we probably need to find a place to launder money." An Feng said.
It's different from ten years ago. If it was that time, he would definitely be at a loss, but now, after hanging out with these old foxes for a long time, he understands the rules and regulations inside. No matter how the government investigates, they can't be counted on them, but the loss lies with the company. It would be bad for the company to collect the tax evasion money and fine it in proportion to the turnover.
If the penalty is based on 10% of the turnover, the revenue of several companies under the GP company will exceed one trillion yuan, and Bida will be even bigger. No one can afford this. Even if the consortium is very rich, once the capital chain is broken, many fields will be frustrated. The enemy attacks when you are tight.
Bazel said: "Now we have to calm down, because this proposal will not be able to be passed in a few months. If it can be delayed until the next presidential election, it may allow things to pass smoothly. But we have to Prepare for the worst and focus on the company's internal accounts."
Every company, including small and medium-sized enterprises, arrests a few financial personnel to sit in the electric chair and torture them, and they will definitely get a lot of gray or even illegal things. This is the inside story of the financial personnel—no company is absolutely clean , Tax evasion - no, financial personnel like to call it "reasonable tax avoidance", this is simply commonplace, don't you do it? The boss will tell you to pack up and leave tomorrow.
Therefore, the several large companies of the consortium are definitely not clean, and such things as internal accounts must exist. The government sent people down to investigate. The Federal Tax Service and the FBI must first control the financial area and **** out the cocoons from the inside. The analysis, deduced where the hands and feet...
An Feng asked: "What method do you have?"
"There are many ways. The money laundering you mentioned is the most direct. In addition, the funds accumulated overseas can also be used to use the leverage of hedging to break through the prosperity of the United States on the surface, so that the performance of this government is bad, and it is better to replace it. This is Directly aimed at possible outcomes."
An Feng said: "It's a bold idea."
Bazel continued: "The United States is also promoting dialogue with other offshore financial zones around the world, and our personal secret companies may also have to be made public."
"If it is made public, this game will not be very fun."
"So the trouble will involve many things. Just in case, we have to make that proposal less influential."
"But this is not the most important thing. I have more important things to do this time. For the sake of the future, we have to consume the money deposited by the consortium and increase the chips in the last game. This time is just a guide The fuse, but we're going to let the bomb go off."
"Are you sure you can pry the United States?" An Feng said cautiously. Although he also knew that the United States was heavily in debt and was consuming the future to maintain their current prosperity, there was a big boss behind it—the Federal Reserve. God knows what countermeasures the privately controlled central bank will make.
"No, we're not targeting the US, but everything comes together - we've got a good chance. It's just that some financial characteristics have dictated that it goes up and down. One draft isn't enough to break us and the US Flow—worst case, let them fine you."
"Where is your favorite entry point?" An Feng asked.
"Europe," Bazel said.
An Feng quickly understood that, taking the simplest hedge fund as an example, when the euro rises, the U.S. dollar will fall—even if there is no idea of targeting the U.S. dollar, as long as the euro rises, the U.S. dollar will fall predictably. So Bazel said that he has no intention of targeting the United States, but it can affect it incidentally.
Compared to the proposals that may be submitted by the parliament, the news that Bazel will bring later is the most important. To be honest, even if the U.S. government is ruthless and legislates to investigate the offshore companies and gray activities of these large companies, the consortium will only suffer losses in the end, and the overall impact will be limited.
An Feng is more concerned about Bazel's investment confidence: "Are you optimistic about the euro?"
Bazel said: "To be precise, it is the European economy. Based on the prediction that the dollar will fall, the euro at the other end of the leverage is about to appreciate."
An Feng asked: "Does it have to be artificially promoted?"
"That's right, the natural waiting process of not intervening is too slow. Our June plan has been implemented. Because of recent events, we have decided to continue to expand investment and promote it covertly. As long as the funds are large enough, both the country and the economy will affected."
The United States provides investors from all over the world with the smoothest path to wealth and the easiest platform for success. The consortium also benefits from this platform, but when they grow stronger and the platform can no longer satisfy them, or even endanger them, the rules have to be discarded.
The country is only a kind of restraint for ordinary people, ordinary rich people, or so-called vested interests. For the group of super consortiums that want to plunder the wealth of the world and have stepped out of the platform of the United States, the country is actually a kind of shackle, affecting their attitude towards the world. pursuit of interests.
In the final analysis, few of the core members of the consortium are native Americans. Needless to say, An Feng came all the way in a vest, changing identities is like playing around. Up to now, he is still a diplomat of two countries. Bazel is directly a British baron with dual citizenship, and Matthew also follows her mother's personality, and can be called a mother if he has milk.
The Blueline family may have a bit of local flavor, but Austin's mother is Italian, Roger has a bit of German blood, and the Hart family is directly British. The other secondary members are also partners from all over the world. If you let this group of capitalists talk about "patriotism", it is like a joke.
They are optimistic about the European economy this time, or they have found a trick to promote development.
If you are long the euro, the reason is simple, the consortium buys it at a low price, and bets that it will rise in the future. But this time Bazel said that they were betting not just on the euro, but on the entire European economy, which required countless complex steps—something the human brain can do. But the most important thing is capital—unless it is a joint venture in the world, no group can come up with hundreds of billions, or even trillions of funds from the Texas consortium.
Bazel said to An Feng: "I'm here to ask for your opinion. We all tend to take a gamble. The current opportunity is very appropriate."
"How long does it take to prepare?" An Feng asked.
Bazel knew that he agreed: "At present, we are waiting for the right time to cut in. It may take a while, and then we will implement the plan covertly through affiliated companies around the world. For the specifics, we need a more detailed plan. A glitch."
"It really needs to be considered carefully." An Feng said.
Compared to this big investment, the bad news brought by Bazel is secondary. Even if someone submits a proposal, it has to be discussed, heard and passed on by the House of Representatives slowly. This proposal, which makes big business and the rich very uncomfortable, will also be resisted by others.
It's just that the consortium currently assumes the proposal as "possible", so it has adjusted a series of plans... As for what will happen next, Bazel did not say. If things go as they expected for the worst outcome, everyone's wealth will be spread out more evenly in the future.
