Chapter 87 Worth 1.5 Million in Two Months
Many things are difficult for laymen, but for the Corleone family with resources, connections, and channels, a diamond certificate can be done for at most 20,000 US dollars.
The technology of grinding and cutting is good enough, and each piece should be worth 100,000 US dollars on average.
After all, these twenty diamonds are pink diamonds, red diamonds.
There are many examples in the market where a colored diamond the size of a peanut is worth more than a white diamond the size of a pigeon egg.
"If you can get the certificate, and then take the diamond to Antwerp, or even Mumbai, you can sell it for 1.5 million."
"With a certificate, why should I sell it to you, directly to Debes, and," Li Changheng showed a mocking expression, "Do you think I'm a rookie who doesn't know anything?
Even if these 20 diamonds are sent to Mumbai to be cut out, they will cost at least US$80,000 each.
If it is sent to Antwerp, the value will have to be increased by 3 layers."
"Hey," Mike didn't even blush when he was exposed, but instead said contemptuously, "Grinding and cutting not only cost money, but also take time.
Moreover, Dai Bisi will give you 500,000 US dollars, so you can laugh secretly!
Those Englishmen themselves are the biggest producers and sellers of diamonds, unless you can find rare gem diamonds.
Otherwise, there are so many diamonds of more than one carat stored in the underground vault in London, so many that they will give away one free to all brides in England this year. Why buy your diamonds? "
Responding to these words, Li Changheng could only curl his lips helplessly.
Mike, who finally had the upper hand, smiled and put the suitcase containing one million dollars on the one-piece bench seat of the pickup truck.
"To be honest, if I were you, I would use this million dollars to buy up the relationship between the origin of the diamond. As long as the country of origin issues a certificate, you can earn 30% more on each transaction in the future."
1 million to 1.3 million?
Li Changheng rolled his eyes, who doesn't want to earn more, but if the production certificate of Sierra Leone is obtained, then within a few months, this source of income will belong to the Corleone family.
Now is not like the future. Every phone call has to be relayed by an operator, and it is impossible to receive a letter sent across the country within three months.
The news was not smooth, so the diamonds from Sierra Leone did not reach the ears of the Gray Gang in New York.
And Sierra Leone has just been independent from the Commonwealth for less than 4 years.
According to Frank, these niggers were a bit rough, although they didn't confiscate all the property of the British.
However, many tribesmen carry guns on their backs and openly dig by themselves beside the diamond mines. In the end, they simply do not allow people to enter the mines of foreigners to work.
Therefore, even without Anne's relationship, Li Changheng would be crazy to mess with the English government.
Really MI5, MI6 is decoration.
The C1A in the 1960s was just a little brother in front of the British intelligence agencies, and even the Mossad in Iseret was better than them.
As for the reason, of course, there is a man named Hoover in the United States.
FB1 is like a big mountain, pressing down on the upper echelons of the entire United States, making it hard to breathe.
Seeing Mike's mouth turned up, Li Changheng rolled his eyes, "Mind your own business".
But I thought in my heart that within a few days, the Tattaglia family would lure Mike out in the name of negotiation to avenge the second son of the Tattaglia family who died last night.
But the result was that Mike single-handedly killed the second head of Tattaglia's family, as well as the bribed New York police captain.
Then Mike hid in Sicily, and Sonny Corleone became the target of revenge.
More than a dozen gray gangs swept with their guns and beat Sonny into a sieve.
However, this might be a good thing for Li Changheng.
Mike hiding in Sicily was definitely the lowest period of his life. Going to cook a cold stove at this time should be remembered by Mike for a lifetime.
Half an hour later, the car arrived outside Corleone's manor on Long Island. Before Mike thanked him and got out of the car, Li Changheng suddenly said, "For the diamond business, you'd better only talk to Sonny and Tom."
"clear".
With Sonny in charge, Mike and Li Changheng knew very well that it was impossible to hide this transaction from Sonny.
As soon as he got out of the car, Mike suddenly realized, "You mean you don't trust other members of the Corleone family?"
"Should I believe it?"
Li Changheng stared at Mike and said, "Dude, except for parents, brothers and sisters in this world have to settle accounts clearly, so don't be so naive."
Seeing Mike standing there in a daze, Li Changheng frowned, showing a mocking expression, and drove away in the car.
Ordinary people's families will have disputes. In a force like the Mafia, there will never be a lack of betrayal and struggle.
The pickup truck drove into an alley five blocks away from UBS. Li Changheng didn't even pull out the keys, and the car door didn't close. He got out of the car with a travel suitcase, put on the holster of the Remington M700, and went to the street to take a taxi. Went to UBS.
Adding today's 1 million US dollars, and excluding the 200,000 for Frank, there is already a full 1.5 million US dollars in cash in the bank's safe.
However, thinking that I will fly to London tonight or tomorrow, I simply deposit the money in UBS.
Otherwise, the 16,000 US dollars in cash alone might not be enough to take Annie out for a few times.
When she was in Rome before, Annie had to conceal her identity, and of course she would not spend money lavishly.
But now that she doesn't have to hide her identity, and it's a relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, she will definitely not pay attention to money issues all the time.
After handling the account and getting the exclusive check, Li Changheng thought for a while that he was getting out of poverty by relying on fake checks, so of course he had to guard against it.
Can't help but think of the SMS verification code in the future, and simply leave a set of passwords in UBS that change with the date.
As for the password, it is also very simple. Today is January 01, and the password is X10X10X.
X is an arbitrary number.
Today is December 09, and the password is X21X90X.
Although it sounds simple, ordinary check criminals want to decipher it, and they don’t have dozens of checks to compare, so they must not understand how the password is generated.
Just by looking at the expression of the key account manager of the UBS branch in New York, he knew that this kind of password, which changes every day, should be considered advanced for people of this era.
Back at the residence, I started to pack the equipment and materials used to forge documents in the house, and rented a car to store all the things in the container storage warehouse under the Williamsburg Bridge.
After paying the rent of 500 US dollars for five years, I thought about whether to take the M1911 and Remington M700 to London on the way back.
Realizing the benefits of carrying a gun, he decided to bring a gun to London without much hesitation when he got home.
Guns are very easy to buy in the United States, but not so easy to get in England.
However, the New York airport does not even check luggage, but weapons are prohibited items after all, so it is better to be careful.
I disassembled the M1911 and M700 into parts, thought for a while, and soon realized that the barrel of the M700 could be put into the trolley of the trolley suitcase.
But when he went shopping in the mall and planned to buy a suitcase, he was pleasantly surprised to find that no matter what size the suitcases in the mall were, they were either hand-carrying or shoulder-carrying.
Recalling the only few airport experiences I had, I found that no one seemed to be carrying suitcases, regardless of whether men or women were carrying them.
Li Changheng's only thought is, how long is the patent term in the United States?
This is an era of rich opportunities everywhere, and the obstacle that can prevent you from becoming a rich man is a pair of eyes of discovery.
