Chapter 837
Cash without serial numbers?
Lavin immediately understood that Li Changheng really had his eye on a certain flour merchant again.
Because it's those guys who don't even trust banks on offshore islands.
It is even more necessary to have a large amount of cash by your side, to bribe your subordinates or local officials at any time, and to settle the payment.
And the full 24 million US dollars in remuneration made LaVine feel like the bosses who have already had a big meal.
Once it is confirmed that Li Changheng's plan is okay, he will definitely be reluctant to give up.
Not to mention that in less than a month, Li Changheng provided two opportunities to act.
That is to say, as long as Li Changheng needs it, once a year will be considered as a small number in the future.
As for not bringing people like himself into the financial field to play, Lavin realized after a little thought that this was to guard against himself, and he stopped playing after he was full.
Moreover, limiting cooperation to military cooperation is not only what the US Navy is best at.
Even if there is a problem, as long as the operation is overseas and set as a secret operation, there are ways to suppress the trouble.
So LaVine thought for a while and said, "Pay half first?"
"No problem." Li Changheng understood that LaVine wanted 12 million US dollars first, and it wasn't that he and James Mercado and others were in a hurry to ask for it, or that they didn't trust him.
Instead, it is used to win over high-level officials stationed in island countries.
Moreover, Katalia had already taken 16 million US dollars from Denzel's money hiding place.
Li Changheng didn't want to spend this money himself, but if he paid it to Lavin and CI`A, he didn't have any psychological burden.
"Need me to help you transport the money to the island country, or transfer the money directly to the offshore island bank?"
"No," Lavin shook his head. "Cash is too troublesome. Fortunately, funds, stock markets, and various projects can be used to digest the money."
"OK", Li Changheng nodded with a smile. The US Navy may not have many major projects, and the investigation is very strict.
However, there are too many places where we can start with various small projects and resident procurement for overseas deployment.
If you think about how serious and unscrupulous the witches are inside the Mi Army if you dare to ask for a price of 300,000 US dollars for a color steel structure house in the next ten years of fighting against the Afghans.
Just saying that the battlefield is too dangerous, resulting in several times or ten times higher transportation costs and construction costs, can simply cover up this matter.
"Then, for the 12 million dollars, I'll have someone drive a P51 Mustang fighter jet of the National Guard, and deliver it to you at the base in Virginia in the name of patrolling, how about it?"
"That's a good idea." Lavin patted Li Changheng's arm with a smile, "If you don't tell me, I almost forgot that you are still an officer of the National Guard."
"In order not to go to Yuenan, I can only use this method." Li Changheng shrugged, "Besides, this method is reasonable and legal. If someone attacks me with this matter in the future, at most, I will be ridiculed by the media in the end."
LaVine nodded with a smile, "As far as I know, the third generation of the Bush family in rural Texas, just like you, escaped service by joining the National Guard Air Force."
Li Changheng thought for a while, and soon knew who it was.
But before he could speak, Lavin put away his smile and reminded, "Actually, as Anne's husband-in-law and an English aristocrat, you want to make a difference in the political arena. You can get a lot of money in a short period of time just by attracting politicians in the New England voting district." Lots of support."
Li Changheng, who has lived in this world for 6 years, of course knows that New England is many times smaller than the Great Lakes region, but its economic and political strength can surpass the Great Lakes.
If you look at the great leaders over the years, you can basically find English blood in their ancestors, and you know that there has always been an unwritten unspoken rule in the upper echelons of the United States.
Of course, having English blood does not mean that this is to help England, but that the top of the United States has been secretly controlled by this group of people. A large part of the power.
After all, in an immigrant country like the United States, there are too many people with English ancestry.
Even if you are black, you can still find your roots in England.
However, Li Changheng wondered why Lavin reminded himself of this.
"Don't tell me, you want to go into politics after you retire?"
LaVine didn't deny it either, and said with a smile, "I can stay in my current position until I'm 68 years old at most. But as long as my health is fine, I can go from politics to over 80 years old.
Moreover, it is only a matter of time before the troops are withdrawn from Yue Nan. By then, there will definitely be a group of people in the navy who will retire early or be transferred from front-line posts.
Although I will not sit on the bench, it is always right to plan ahead. "
After hearing this, Li Changheng cursed in his heart, there are too many examples of soldiers in the United States who have been in politics, and some even became commanders.
This is a family tradition that can't be stopped at all, and there is no reason to stop it.
After a few seconds, Li Changheng suddenly felt that he was too young and super rich to participate in this game in person.
But it does not prevent LaVine and Kenny Robin of the National Guard from using these people as pawns to test the reactions of various forces.
If it succeeds, the advantages will certainly outweigh the disadvantages.
Moreover, New England is in the northeast corner of the United States, above New York State.
If my tentacles touch these 6 states with small areas, it means that the east coast of the United States is basically the range of my contacts.
He smiled and said to Lavin, "Let's not say too much, I can still guarantee the campaign funds of 1 million to 5 million. But, you shouldn't retire so soon, right?"
LaVine rolled his eyes, "Of course we have to wait until we are really forced to do nothing."
The two laughed and talked for another 20 minutes, and a full 40 minutes passed before seeing David Barlow, who was going to make a phone call, came out of the cabin.
Taking advantage of the twenty meters between each other, Li Changheng said to Lavin in a low voice, "It seems that the speed and ability of Zhongqing Bureau are not as high as I imagined?"
LaVine was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and whispered, "Henry, do you really think that Zhongqing Bureau's strength lies in its ability to act?"
Seeing Li Changheng's surprised expression, Lavin continued with some amusement, "Let's not talk about comparing the five military intelligence agencies, even FB`I is better than them in terms of operational capabilities.
But in terms of making mistakes and holding back, they can be ranked first.
The only thing that is better than us is probably spending money to buy people up. "
Li Changheng laughed. After thinking about it carefully, he was right. However, the power of US dollars is often more useful than force.
Moreover, the Zhongqing Bureau is directly under the commander, and the level of treatment and attention is unmatched by other institutions.
David Barlow walked up to Li Changheng with a smile on his face and said, "I have received the item. Mr. Harland Ford told me to thank you and at the same time let me tell you that Hunter Lucas will be released in three days." The NYPD took over."
"Happy cooperation", Li Changheng smiled and extended his hand, shaking hands with David Barlow, "Are you interested in cooperating with the Bureau of 'Reading' once?"
"I?"
David Barlow pointed at himself in surprise, and then asked a little excitedly, "Are you sure you're not working with Harland Ford?"
