Reborn Sells Instant Noodles In America
Chapter 53: seeds of doubt
The days go by so fast, every day is like fine sand slipping away from your fingertips, you haven't felt its shape yet, it has been blown into the boundless air by the wind. As time flies by, the graduation season finally arrives in late spring.
Lin Zidan and Zhang Jing received university admission notices in February and March respectively. Zhang Jing was not admitted to NYU even though he applied for astronomy. Lin Zidan had a chance, but he was assigned to the Brooklyn campus. Their majors could be adjusted during their sophomore year, so Lin Zidan actively accepted the offer.
Zhang Jing also thought that staying in New York would be more suitable for him to survive (to pick up girls), so he finally chose a private university called Yeshua, and by mistake he entered the business school of his school.
Zhang Jing glanced at the zip code when he was choosing, and thought that NY10033 and NY10012 in the city center must be not far away. It was only when he actually went to school that he realized that the spot was actually in the Bronx, in the northwest of New York City. In an area with a large number of blacks, the campus was quite desolate at that time. The only consolation was that the school was relatively close to the famous Yankee Stadium. When picking up girls, he could directly take people to watch baseball!
On the day when he got the admission letter, Zhang Jing happily decided to hold a celebration party at his home. He invited almost all classmates and asked every boy to bring a female companion. The hungry man was hungry, but it was embarrassing to delay Lin Zi, and after searching for a long time, he could not find a suitable opposite **** to take with him.
After getting the admission letter, the schoolwork became easier. Lin Zidan would pick up some expensive translation documents whenever he had time. Apart from learning about stocks and making money, he was training his physical fitness day and night.
Since the car accident with Zhang Jing that time, Lin Zidan paid special attention to strength and practical training, and even signed up for a Sanda class after class. In order that Lin Zidan's body will not be destroyed before 2013, he must make himself stronger!
At work, the cooperation with the father and son of the Chen family has also gradually become routine. Lin Zidan has set up a supplier development team with several foreigners as the main employees by means of online recruitment. Fish suppliers, and large farms with fresh vegetables.
Zhang Jing didn't do anything as he said. He found a Chinese accountant, and then found an actuary on the accountant's recommendation. The two started a company independent of Chen Lin and his son's company. In this way, Lin Zidan and Zhang Jing are responsible for purchasing, and Chen Lin and his son are responsible for sales, forming a cooperation model of supply and sales division of labor.
The three young people are all going to school, and the infrastructure needs to be prepared for a period of time, so their cooperation took more than half a year to prepare for the preliminary development, and all the projects were delayed until they graduated from high school before they were officially launched.
During this period, there was a small change on Lin Zidan's side. Li Manrui didn't know if he heard from Zhang Jing that Lin Zidan wanted to do business with Zhang Jing. But this time, not only did she not stop Lin Zidan uncharacteristically, she also proposed to provide him with $100,000 as start-up capital.
What's even more strange is that Mike, when Lin Zidan was explaining his investment idea to Li Manrui symbolically, he even said arrogantly that he would also support him with $100,000. Until Lin Zidan got these two investments, he still felt very unreal!
Among them, the most uneasy thing for Lin Zidan was Mike's money. Unlike Li Manrui, who directly gave him a principal check for the restaurant, he gave him 10 bundles of cash. That's right, Lin Zidan counted them carefully. , exactly 10 bundles, the face value is 20, put a bundle every 500 sheets, and each bundle is tied with a rubber band.
I thought to myself, shouldn't this TM be neatly sized like the one shown on TV, put it in a black lockbox and give it to me? The money Mike gave him was only wrapped in a black canvas. If you go out with this bag, no one will see that you have a full $100,000 on your back!
Although I felt a little uneasy, because the preparation for the cooperation took too long, and in order to prevent the 150,000 principal from the sale of Starbucks from being idle, Lin Zidan had already added 5,000 shares of Apple stock in time. The rise is just right, it has risen from more than 20 years ago to more than 40 US dollars, and it will continue to rise. He really does not want to sell it now.
With the two money from Li Manrui and Mike, he can continue to hold Apple's shares, and he will not delay the cooperation with the Chen family and his son at all. It's just that when he took the money and put it in front of Zhang Jing, both of them hesitated for a while.
"Why do I feel that your stepfather is not as simple as it seems?" When Zhang Jing saw the cash, he rarely looked serious.
"I think so too, I suspect... he's selling grass," Lin Zidan said cautiously.
"Well... I also think that the Italians do this a lot in New York, but he seems to be better at covering it up than others!" Zhang Jing said thoughtfully.
"Then what should we do? Why don't we move the money first?" Lin Zidan hesitated.
"Hey~ why don't you have money? It has nothing to do with us anyway!" Zhang Jing said with a smile suddenly and easily.
"But I still want to remind you, in order to prevent him from using us as a tool for his money laundering, and he will give you money or something in the future, you'd better ask him for a check, or politely refuse!" Zhang Jing said earnestly.
"How could he keep giving me money, and besides, what does this have to do with money laundering?" Lin Zidan was puzzled.
"I also learned that I have had more contact with accountants recently. In the United States, all funds that are not properly taxed are illegal funds, such as the check your mother gave you, which is the legal income of the restaurant, and that is the clean money after tax filing. , and Mike is likely to have unreported, illegal income!"
"But ~lightnovelpub.net~ Lin Zitan was a black line after listening, no wonder Mike was so generous when he gave it.
"Did he say that you will return it to him when you make money? Will you return such bundles of cash to him?" Zhang Jing reminded again.
"Well... I understand! If I give him a check, his money will be laundered!?" Lin Zidan said thoughtfully.
"Smart! Fortunately, we also need cash in many places in the early stage, so that we can help cover up the source of the money, so you don't have to worry too much." Zhang Jing saw Lin Zidan's face getting more and more gloomy, and hurried again comfort him.
Lin Zidan only knew that the cash salary he received while working in the restaurant was illegal because he had no identity and could not file a tax return, but he never thought about the ins and outs of a sum of money like Mike's. After being reminded by Zhang Jing, he suddenly felt something behind him. Leng, MD, this Mike is not trying to hurt him!
The two looked at each other for a while, Lin Zidan planted the seeds of suspicion from that day, and he would be very careful when he came into contact with Mike next time.
. . . . .
One weekend in May, the party that Zhang Jing had planned for almost half a month finally started. In order to make the party look more upscale, Zhang Jing not only ordered a few trays of sushi from Li Manrui's restaurant, but spread it out on huge plates. On the ice, he also invited a few private chefs to prepare at home. Of course, most of them were Western dishes, because he invited quite a few foreign students to this party. In addition to their own class, other men and women of the same grade A dozen also came.
Zhang Jing walked through the crowd with his blond girlfriend in his arms and greeted the classmates who had just arrived. Magical laughter echoed in the yard from time to time.
