Chapter 211: Courtyard Start
Chapter 211: Courtyard Start
After leaving Dongyue Company, An Rusong and Thomson walked side by side, and An Xishan followed behind them. When the three of them walked to the entrance of the parking lot, An Rusong thought of Li Xinhou's matter, so he reached out and held Thomson's arm, saying, "By the way, Thomson, I have something more sensitive to ask you."
Hearing him say this, Thomson nodded. He turned around and gestured to An Xishan to wait, and then he and An Rushong continued to walk forward for a while.
"Recently, I need to transfer some money to the United States," An Rusong took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket after avoiding An Xishan, gave one to the other party, and lit one for himself, then said, "I need to transfer it to someone's account, but I don't want to have a direct connection between myself and this person. Do you understand what I mean?"
Thomson nodded and said, "I know what you mean."
"That's right, but there is one thing. Although I don't want my account to be directly linked to the other party's account, I still need to get a proof that I paid the other party," An Rusong asked, "So, do you have any good suggestions?"
"Ann, you should have told me this thirty minutes ago," Thomson said, spreading his hands.
"Oh?" An Rushong looked at the other person in confusion.
Thomson turned around, pointed at the Dongyue Company building, and said, "Before you asked me what this company does. Now I can tell you that they exist to meet your needs."
"Underground bank?" An Rushong understood what the other party meant in an instant, and he asked tentatively.
"You can put it that way," Thomson nodded. "To be more precise, they are a service provider that specializes in providing channels for international capital flows."
He paused here, then shrank his neck, tightened the front of his down jacket, and said, "This damn weather, An, let's talk in your car. I'm almost freezing to death."
An Rushong smiled, turned around and led the other person towards where he parked his car.
When they got in the car, An Rushong turned on the heater and listened to Thomson introducing the general business process of Dongyue Company.
In fact, it is not difficult to do business with Dongyue Company. Just like in An Rushong's case, if he wants to make some money in Florida, USA, he just needs to hand over the money directly to Dongyue Company.
Companies like Dongyue have affiliated companies in the United States. While they accept business in Korea, they also accept business in the United States. That is, there are also customers in the United States who need to transfer money to Korea.
In this way, they collected An Rushong's money in South Korea, and then put the money into the American customer's account in South Korea. At the same time, they put the money given by the American customer into An Rushong's account in the United States. With a hedge on both sides, the transaction was completed. It was simple and fast.
Of course, whether it is An Rushong or the American clients, they need to pay a fee to Dongyue Company during this process, and this fee is not low, only slightly lower than the fee for money laundering, about 20 points.
Yes, their fees are high, but they can avoid a lot of trouble. For those who want to illegally transfer assets or engage in other illegal activities, companies like Dongyue are the best partners.
As for what An Rushong said, that they need to get a proof of transferring money to the other party, this kind of thing is too simple. After all, Dongyue Company charges a 20% fee and also needs to provide thoughtful service. It is not difficult for them to get a proof of receipt from the payee while transferring the money.
As for how to ensure that the transferred funds are legal, Thomson also gave an explanation.
According to him, although Dongyue Company is an underground bank, their legally registered business scope is overseas business and legal consulting. In other words, they provide international consulting services. The money that An Rusong pays to them will be taxed in the name of consulting fees and then enter their accounts. In the United States, they will also find some legal means to transfer funds to the recipient's account.
Yes, for such business, jobs like Dongyue are very smooth and the risks are not high, but the real trouble lies in how to get in touch with such jobs and how to ensure that you are not cheated.
Fortunately, this is not the first time that Thomson has cooperated with Dongyue Company. This time, An Rushong doesn't need to show up at all. He can just leave it to him to handle it.
The reason why An Rushong wanted to transfer a sum of money to the United States was naturally to bribe Prosecutor Li Xinhou. He didn't mind bribing the other party, but at the same time he didn't want this bribe to leave a record. Therefore, seeking cooperation with a company like Dongyue was undoubtedly the best choice.
After agreeing on some details of the transfer with Thomson, An Rushong said goodbye to him and drove away from the parking lot of Dongyue Company.
More than 23 minutes later, An Rusong's car drove into the underground parking lot of Shilla Hotel. He found an empty parking space and parked the car. When he got out of the car, he looked at his watch - it was less than five minutes before eleven thirty. He took the elevator upstairs, still directly to the 17rd floor, and still in the "Luoyan" restaurant where he and Mike had a small gathering last time. After An Rusong entered the door, he went straight to the bar, put his credit card on the bar, and told the waiter to remember to charge his credit card for the consumption of booth No. later.
As a result, when communicating with the waiter, they learned from him that "Mr. Luo" who booked the booth had already informed them when making the reservation that all consumption here would be recorded on his room bill, so An Rusong's credit card would not be accepted.
Well, in this damn place, even the bill for meals is paid by the guests first. An Rushong negotiated with the waiter for a long time, but the waiter refused to accept his request, so he finally had to give up.
Just as An Rushong took back his credit card and was about to turn around and leave, he turned around and saw Luo Quanyi walking in from the restaurant door.
The other party also saw him, and then saw the wallet and credit card in his hand.
An Rusong spread his hands to the other party from a distance, then walked over with a smile and said, "Brother Quan Yi, you're here so early."
They are all smart people, and Luo Quanyi naturally knows what he wants to do. Therefore, he also has a better impression of this young man whom he has just met.
There is a Chinese saying, "The more polite a person is, the less likely he or she will be blamed." It really makes sense. In the process of interpersonal communication, some people pay too much attention to etiquette and will be ridiculed as "troublesome." However, when anyone interacts with others, the other party's politeness and integrity will make it easier for them to win their favor.
Just like An Rushong, today's lunch party was arranged by Luo Quanyi. He arrived first and wanted to take the opportunity to be the host, even though the cost of this meal was nothing to Luo Quanyi, and even if he failed to get the opportunity to be the host in the end, Luo Quanyi would still have a better impression of him. This is human nature.
"Since I have nothing to do today, I might as well come a little early," Luo Quanyi put his hand on his shoulder and said with a smile, "It's just right that you are here too, let's solve the problem with that house first."
"Is Brother Quan Yi's lawyer also in the hotel?" An Rushong asked curiously.
The house that Luo Quanyi wanted to sell was not worth 100 million or 200 million won, but a full 9 billion won. Such a large transaction would easily go wrong without the involvement of a lawyer. Therefore, since Luo Quanyi said that he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to solve the problem, it means that his lawyer should be nearby.
Sure enough, Luo Quanyi nodded and said, "I have some things to deal with in Canada, and I have to rush back tomorrow. So, let's finalize the contract today and I'll sign it. As for the follow-up matters, Rusong can discuss it with my lawyer."
As they were talking, the two of them came to the reserved booth. After they took their seats, Luo Quanyi took out his cell phone and made a call.
While he was on the phone, the waiter brought a pot of tea and filled the cups in front of the two men.
After the other party finished the call, An Rusong said, "When will Brother Quan Yi come to Seoul next time? Please contact me then and give me a chance to host you."
"Haha, of course," Luo Quanyi laughed twice, and took out an exquisite cloth bag from his pocket, handed it to An Rusong, and said, "Here are the keys to the house. As for the remote control of the electric door, it's with Uncle Huang. I'll contact him later, and you can go get it from him."
The "Uncle Huang" he mentioned was naturally referring to Huang Shengxun who had accompanied An Rushong to look at houses before.
"Yes, Mr. Huang is a very good person, honest and upright," Luo Quanyi added, "If you need someone to look after your house, you can also find him. Of course, this is just a suggestion."
"No problem, Brother Quan Yi," An Rusong agreed readily, "It just so happens that the property is very large, and I really need someone to be responsible for cleaning and management."
This was not just a perfunctory remark to Luo Quanyi. An Rusong really thought so. After all, the courtyard was too large, with trees, lawns, a garden and a swimming pool. How could such a large courtyard not be cleaned and managed? Since he was going to hire someone, Huang Shengxun was naturally the most suitable candidate.
Now, since Luo Quanyi talked about Huang Bo, An Rushong accepted the other party's suggestion. Not only did it solve the manpower problem, but it also did a good thing for Luo Quanyi. Why not do it?
As the two were talking, Luo Quanyi's lawyer came hurriedly, bringing a standard real estate transaction contract. After Luo Quanyi and An Rushong reviewed it, he made some simple modifications. Finally, after Luo Quanyi signed it, the contract was handed over to An Rushong.
Afterwards, An Rusong needs to find a lawyer to take a look. If there is no problem, he will sign. As for the rest of the matter, it can be handed over to the lawyers of both parties to handle.
