Chapter 190 Bond
Facing Liu Shanyong's casual suggestion, Nan Xuyu smiled slightly, then looked at An Rusong and asked, "Rusong, what do you think?"

An Rusong smiled and said, "I think that if we want to deal with Liu Taihe, we should not act too hastily. Instead, we should slowly put pressure on him and give him enough time to make some arrangements."

"Oh?" Nan Xuyu seemed quite interested in what he said, with a concerned expression on his fat face.

"According to you, what if he runs away?" Liu Shanyong asked back.

"I say this based on two points," An Rusong did not rush to answer Liu Shanyong's question. He spoke at his own pace. "First, I know that a company registered in the Cayman Islands named 'EliteVenture Capital' is cooperating with Liu Taihe."

"Yes, this company should be set up by Liu Taihe himself," Liu Shanyong said, "He is playing a game of transferring money from one hand to the other. The funds transferred from the Cayman Islands should all be the black money he made from that karuta website."

"That's right," An Rusong said, "I've actually been keeping an eye on the karuta website run by Liu Taihe. Currently, although the website is still in operation, cash withdrawals are no longer possible, which means that Liu Taihe has probably taken away all the funds in the website's deposit pool."

"Does this have anything to do with the suggestion you made?" Nan Xuyu asked.

"Director Nan, this is a huge sum of money, so huge that it's hard for ordinary people to imagine," An Rusong picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip of tea, and said, "Before, I asked the company's programmers to crack the website's permissions. Because now the entire Hana card website can still be logged in, there are no relevant technicians to maintain it. It's not difficult to do this."

"What did you get?" Liu Shanyong asked curiously.

"Except for some data that has not been deleted, there is nothing special," An Rusong said, "However, based on these remaining data, we can use a simple data model to infer the capital flow of the flower card website in the past cycle."

He paused and emphasized, "According to our calculations, in the first two weeks of November, the funds deposited in the website's storage pool exceeded 11 million US dollars. In other words, the amount of money Liu Taihe earned from the Hanaha website, including the total amount of money he took away, was definitely not less than this amount."

Whether it is Liu Shanyong or Nan Xuyu, they are not ordinary people. They certainly have no shortage of money. However, when such a number is placed in front of them, they can't help swallowing their saliva.

It must be noted that what we are talking about here is not assets, but cash, the fragrant cash that can be used right away. If converted into Korean won, it would be more than 700 billion won, more than 700 billion!

"Can a gambling website make so much money?" Liu Shanyong asked after being stunned for a while.

Nan Xuyu didn't say anything. At the beginning, he knew that Shen Taian's men were going to set up a gambling website. At first, no one took it seriously. Later, someone who knew the business said something, and then they became interested in this thing.

However, at that time, the Damushan Group was still on the side of Councillor Kong. Considering that if such a website was operated and once discovered, it would definitely have a significant impact on Councillor Kong's reputation, the operation of the website was handed over to Liu Taihe, who was fully responsible for it.

Later, Councillor Kong got into trouble and the Damushan Group turned against them. No one cared about the Hanaha website anymore, so no one knew how much money the website made.

"Brother Shanyong, whether in the Republic of Korea or Japan, or should I say in most countries in East Asia and Southeast Asia, gambling is illegal," An Rusong spread his hands and smiled, "So, in these places, it is difficult for people to find a casino that can operate openly and is relatively safe."

"But," he pointed his right index finger to the sky and said, "The Internet solves all problems. It allows two people who are thousands of miles apart and don't know each other to sit at the same gambling table and try their luck. Moreover, the environment is very safe, and there is no need to worry about the police coming to the door. Therefore, it is very attractive to those gamblers."

"The most important thing is that Liu Taihe runs a website that specializes in playing Hanafuda games," he further said, "It is the only website in the world that provides online Hanafuda games. All Hanafuda game enthusiasts are its potential customers. Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Singapore, etc., all Koreans, even Koreans of Korean descent, are its potential customers. With so many gamblers gathered together, the funds they can mobilize are absolutely huge. Therefore, it is really difficult to estimate how much money Liu Taihe can make." After saying this, he felt his lips were a little dry again. Before reaching out for the teacup, he added one last sentence: "What is certain is that if Liu Taihe is given another half year, at most a year, the amount of cash he has in his hands may be enough to buy the entire Damushan Group."

"Asi~ba!" Liu Shanyong stretched out his hand and slapped the coffee table in front of him hard, and cursed even more viciously.

He was obviously angry that the money had not reached him.

"I think that compared to the Damushan Group, it is more valuable to control the cash hidden by Liu Taihe," An Rusong said after taking a sip of tea. "This is cash. In the current situation where the subprime mortgage crisis is unavoidable, it is wisest to control US dollar cash."

"As for the Damushan Group, it has too many problems," An Rusong said, changing the subject. "Not to mention that many eyes will be on it from all sides. Even without this concern, the current share price of the Damushan Group is too low. In addition, the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis is imminent. Damushan Real Estate is bound to be hit hard in this crisis. After suffering this impact, how much the entire Damushan Group will be worth? Who can say for sure?"

"So, my suggestion is to focus on the dirty money in Liu Taihe's hands first, make sure you can get the money, and then consider the problem of the Damushan Group," An Rusong concluded. "And if you want to get the dirty money, you can't let Liu Taihe be controlled by the police, otherwise there will be too many variables."

After hearing what he said, not only Liu Shanyong, but even Nan Xuyu couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement. As the saying goes, "money moves people's hearts", they were also shocked by the huge amount of black gold worth hundreds of millions of dollars. For the sake of this money, they would not hesitate even if they were asked to kill people and burn things.

"As for the second point, it is about the Damushan Group," An Rusong changed the subject after getting the approval of the two. "Just now, Brother Shanyong mentioned that we can find a puppet among the people in the Liu family who are eligible to inherit and take over the assets of the Damushan Group. This method is direct and effective, but it is too crude and it is easy for others to catch us. Moreover, as I said just now, the Damushan Group has a series of problems. When Chairman Liu Taimin was here, he might have been able to reconcile everything and suppress these problems, but now..."

Shaking his head slightly, An Rusong expressed that he was not optimistic about the future of the Damushan Group. "The most important thing is that once Liu Taihe's problems are exposed, especially his illegal operation of the flower card website, then perhaps someone will jump out and ask Liu Taihe to make compensation. At that time, a series of disputes may very likely lead to the freezing of the Damushan Group's assets, leaving us with nothing."

Nan Xuyu seemed to disagree with his statement. A smile appeared on his fat little face and his thick lips moved, as if he wanted to speak.

But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he seemed to have thought of something, the smile on his face froze, and he swallowed back the words he was about to say.

An Rusong ignored what he wanted to say and continued at his own pace: "So, my opinion is, don't push Liu Taihe too hard. It's better to put enough pressure on him to force him to find a way to escape. As long as he wants to escape and thinks he has enough time to prepare, he will definitely find a way to sell those assets that can be sold and convert them into cash as much as possible."

"I understand what you mean," Nan Xuyu interrupted An Rusong when he said this. The fat man smiled and said, "Before, you asked the Zhao brothers to make arrangements to control Liu Taihe when he planned to escape. This should be your idea, right?"

"That's right," An Rusong readily admitted. He nodded and said, "There is a deep bond between me and Mr. Liu II."

As he said this, he raised his bandaged hand, shook it, and said with a smile: "Do you see my hand? It was Second Young Master Liu who arranged for someone to burn it with sulfuric acid. With such a relationship, how could I watch him leave Korea with such a large sum of money to live out the rest of his life happily?"

His words caused Liu Shanyong and Nan Xuyu to laugh. It was not only An Rushong who had a grudge against the Second Young Master Liu, but also Councillor Kong. From Councillor Kong's point of view, even if the Second Young Master Liu did not have so much money, he would have to kill him. Otherwise, how could he maintain his prestige?
"We really can't watch Second Young Master Liu leave Korea smoothly," Nan Xuyu said after laughing, looking at An Rushong with a half-smile, "But, Rushong, the injury on your hand really can't be blamed on Liu Taihe."

"Oh?" An Rushong was stunned.

"You can ask Director Lin later, and he will give you an answer," Nan Xuyu said mysteriously.
