"What money can I wash? What money can I have to wash," Wang Yue said speechlessly.
"That's right, you a fishery seller doesn't need to launder money at all. Our money is clean, but even if you make a fortune, you won't ruin it like this, right? I heard from my brother, if you want to play with celebrities, buy it with money. This industry is priced clearly. We are worth two brothers, big stars can't afford it. Those who just debuted have everything they want to play, and they are fresh. After playing, pat their butts and leave to change it next time. There is no need to make things so complicated." Old Liu advised earnestly.
"Do you think I look like that kind of person?" Wang Yue said with a smile.
"But why are you?" Old Liu said confused.
Why is Boss Wang? Of course, he is doing money laundering. His deposits at UBS have exceeded 400 million, and will increase by 40 or even 40 billion in the future. The scale of his business is on the surface, even if he monopolizes the abalone, geoduck, and lobster markets in the world, how much money can he make in a year? What's more, he is just making some high-end goods that do not produce volume. The entire market is just that little, and it will soon be saturated.
With the scale of this business, he earns less than 100 million a year, and no one will think it is abnormal, but if the financial resources he shows exceed this number, then someone will immediately think it is abnormal. For example, if he buys a yacht worth 10 million, it is normal, but if he wants to buy a Bombardier, it is abnormal.
If it is abnormal, it will be targeted by others, especially if it is targeted by the official. Then it will be difficult to hide his smuggling business. Never underestimate the government's ability.
So no matter how much money he makes through animal smuggling and gem business, he must face a threshold for spending money. This is definitely unbearable for Boss Wang. It is simply a waste to make money without spending it. No matter how much this thing is placed in the bank, it will not have any value. At most it is just a cold number or a bunch of beautifully printed small pieces of paper. Only when it is spent is truly valuable.
So he had to clean up the money and put it into reasonable and legal income. The easiest and effective way to make movies and build theaters is to make movies and build theaters. He spent 18 million yuan to make a movie casually. It doesn’t matter whether it’s bad or not. He got it to his own cinema for screening. It doesn’t matter if anyone watches it, but the tickets must be sold without a single one. Of course, he bought it with his own money.
Even if there is only one person to watch it, the movie is full. The money I can’t see at UBS is paid from my left hand to my right hand that I can see. I pay taxes to the country. The country likes it, taxes to the local government, and the local government likes it, and the protection fee is paid, no one cares about you anymore. It is famous and beneficial, and you can also play with little stars every day. Why not do it?
So when you see a bad movie that can’t be broken, don’t be surprised when you suddenly have a box office of 100 million, because it’s just Boss Wang’s seniors.
Of course, Lao Liu would not know that his good partner still had a lot of money to wash. In his opinion, this guy was purely burned by money, but he also knew that Wang Yue was never the kind of person with a hot mind, at most he was a little nervous occasionally, and it was enough to wake him up after experiencing setbacks. Based on this principle, he introduced his film company friend to him.
"Sister Feng, let's put it this way. I have always liked to do art and other things. I have had a dream of making movies since I was a child. I used to have no money, but now I have money, of course I have to pursue my own ideals. I am going to set up a theater chain of my own, from production, distribution to screening. However, I don't know anything about this, so you have to give me some advice." On his private yacht, Wang Yue said sincerely to a beautiful middle-aged woman in front of me who was well maintained.
This is Lao Liu's friend who runs a film and television company. As for whether their friendship is on or under the bed, Wang Yue doesn't know. Anyway, he heard that the two seem to be classmates who have been since elementary school.
"Okay, you and Lao Liu are brothers, and I have been in love with him for decades. Then you are my brother, just say to you Sister Feng, your business is mine." The beautiful woman Feng Xueling said readily.
"But you tell me how you are going to start?" she asked immediately.
"First of all, open a cinema. No need to develop outside the country. First, in our city, I plan to open at least three cinemas in the city, one in each district and county, two in our city. In this way, you can open at least ten. The scale does not require too large, and there is no need for any 3D equipment. Just take ordinary projectors. I am a person who pursues art. Nowadays, movies, alas, only technology is left, and there is no artistic content at all.
As for the location of the theater, I will not go to those large CBDs to rent. Watching movies is about mood. If there is any mood in those places, the ideal cinema in my heart should be among the grass and green trees, or you can watch the bright moon on the sea as soon as you go out, away from the hustle and bustle of the world." Wang Yue was talking to himself with an intoxicated expression.
He almost built it directly in the wilderness. As a money laundering tool, he certainly would not contribute more than 100 or even 20% of the box office profit to real estate developers. Of course, he would rent a suitable house, but if there is no suitable one, he would spend millions to find a cheap land to build it himself. In short, his standard is that an investment in a theater cannot exceed five million. In fact, if he didn't think it was too outrageous, he would have planned to use the insulation board to lock a greenhouse.
Lao Liu was almost collapsed. Where did you go to the commercial area if you built a cinema? There are not enough people to measure who you sell your ticket to. Now they are playing 3D. Who will buy those things that are about to be eliminated?
He subconsciously wanted to remind Wang Yue that he could not do this. He was all about losing money and losing all his money to develop, but Feng Xueling stopped him with a smile.
Wang Yue looked at the two of them and continued to say with confidence: "While building a theater, you must register a movie distribution company and a production company, and then invest 5 million to make a movie. I will try to use newcomers, including directors and actors, and I will try to finish filming before the theater is completed and release my own movie at the same time as the opening."
Old Liu was completely stunned by the side, but Feng Xueling was smiling brighter and brighter.
Of course, Boss Wang’s plan is just a plan at the moment. If you want to develop it, you must have some knowledge. He was blinded. The purpose of looking for Feng Xueling was to use her connections in this circle to help him find a manager who was familiar with the business.
"I have one candidate, that is, I am a little younger. I used to be an assistant to a boss of a big film company. Later, I resigned because of some reason. I originally wanted to dig it up to be an assistant for myself. Since this is the case, it would be better to respond to your emergency first and put on the airs first. If you are not satisfied, then change it in the future." Feng Xueling thought for a while and said.
"It doesn't matter if you are young. I like to work with young people about the same age as me the most. I always hang out with these guys. Sometimes I feel that I am old." Wang Yue said with a smile on the side, which made Lao Liu roll his eyes.
In addition to the manager, there are also procedures for establishing these companies, which were also handled by Feng Xueling. As for the real estate of the theater, Wang Yue did it himself, and as for how to make movies, he didn't even talk about it. He just wanted to recruit a newly graduated director from the Central Academy of Drama, and found a group of young actors who were eager to devote themselves to art, and gave them some money to make trouble. However, Feng Xueling had to help him in terms of film channels.
No matter what, Boss Wang’s cinema can’t just play the movies he made. Even if he built it in the wilderness, he still has the main focus of all kinds of domestic and foreign blockbusters. What he made was just inserted in the middle.
"You are doing a big deal, and you are not afraid of losing money then!" Feng Xueling said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter. For the sake of artistic pursuit, it's no big deal to pay for it!" Wang Yue said deeply as if he was wet.
He didn't know that the first thing Feng Xueling said to Lao Liu after leaving his yacht was: "If you weren't for your money laundering, I'd cut off your head and give it to you."
Of course, Boss Wang doesn't care that others guessed that he was laundering money. He is not the only one who played this industry. He is a trick that even an outsider can think of, and his experts can naturally see at a glance. But what's the big deal? He didn't break the law. He promoted the local economy, increased taxes to the government, and he gave officials a face. Who wouldn't like the things that everyone was happy about?
As for where his money comes from...
Uh, do you need to care about this?
Where does it come from all money?
"Hey, have you heard that, are you talking to you!" Chen Xiaoya knocked on the table with dissatisfaction and said to Wang Yue who was distracted. They were eating in a famous local seafood restaurant while watching the crowded beach at night.
"Ah? What did you say?" Wang Yue cut his consciousness back from Boss Crab and said in a daze.
The latter had reached the central part of the Yellow Sea at this time. He had just turned toward Incheon Port according to his order. Wang Yue didn't expect it to climb so fast, but when he thought of its forty or fifty meters, he felt relieved. It took a step to go Commissioner Liu and ran for several seconds, not to mention that it was actually half-climbing and half-swimming, but because his courage was discovered by the sonar, he didn't dare to be fast.
"Xiaoya said that she will take a vacation in a few days and ask you if you are going on a trip, I will go too!" Rourou said to him at the sidelines and said that they are so good now that they are like their own sisters, a pair of good friends, which made Wang Yue never find the opportunity to push Chen Xiaoya down.
"Of course, it's OK to travel, but we don't go to the scenic spots in China, and there are so many people who don't know whether to see the scenery or smell the smell of sweat. I'll take you abroad and let's go to the American Empire to play!" Wang Yue immediately felt energetic and said with a smile on his face.
