Chapter 132: Interested and Business Ideas and Saturday Gathering

"Mr. Pasiletuo, the money laundering method in the film industry is not limited to cinemas. Here, every link can allow you to wash the money clean."

"But in the early stage, a cinema is definitely a good money laundering method with small investment but large output."

"We can build some cinemas in the western region, even in no-man's land, or even just a simple house, a simple projector, a large screen."

"The total investment for these might be less than five hundred dollars."

"The investment for one hundred such cinemas combined won't exceed one hundred thousand dollars."

"But it can wash clean at least 1.5 million dollars of funds for you every month, or even two million dollars."

There are few people in the western region, and the population flow has gradually stabilized. Some towns, or small cities, might have only a few thousand people, and lack entertainment projects, and the local area also lacks more jobs and tax revenue.

The local government will also support this kind of "investment behavior," so this is a profitable business.

Mr. Pasiletuo took a puff of his cigar. He began to fall into thought. Lanse's words didn't stop. "We just talked about the tax issue, and I also talked about this with Alberto."

"As long as not every movie has no one, as long as there are people watching, and people buying tickets, these are extra income for us."

"In some remote places, they might feel that a five-cent movie ticket is high, then make it three cents, as long as they are willing to come in!"

"The movie tickets they pay can offset some of our tax expenditures, especially since I heard that there has been huge development and progress in movies recently. Movies will further become an important entertainment activity for ordinary people."

"It will attract more people to walk into the cinema, and the price of movie tickets will also usher in a huge increase."

"In addition, we can use the cinema to play movies we filmed ourselves. The money we pay to actors, the crew, including the director, can all be... you know, they have legal reasons to report taxes, and we also have legal capital expenditures, but no one will really come to check whether what we spend is from the bank or the safe."

Mr. Pasiletuo showed some smiles on his face. "Very interesting idea, continue." He had already become interested.

Lanse changed his train of thought, using more concise words that were easier for him to understand to condense it. "We can use black money as part of the filming expenses, paying actors, directors, screenwriters, the entire crew, and all places where we need to spend."

"This part can deduct some taxes when the enterprise pays income tax."

Lanse looked at a pen on the table and picked it up. "Mr. Pasiletuo, do you know how much this pen costs in the store?"

It was a very ordinary pencil. He thought about it. "About one cent for two, I'm not sure, I haven't handled these things personally for a long time."

Lanse nodded. "But in our expenditure on movies, each one is worth ten dollars!"

Alberto stood up. "This is impossible."

"Nothing is impossible. It is a special prop, not just an ordinary pencil. Regardless of whether they admit it or not, we as the producer accepted the 'supplier's' quotation."

"Whether we are idiots, fools, has nothing to do with whether it is worth this price. In the accounts, it is ten dollars!"

"This ten dollars can allow us to pay a few dollars less when paying taxes, but in reality, we only spent one cent."

"The tax deduction space saved can facilitate us to process more black money, pay less tax, and reduce losses in the money laundering process."

"When the movie is shown in our own cinemas and more cinemas, the cinema will make money, and can also launder money. As the producer, as long as the movie's box office is good, we can also make money."

"It is possible that a movie can not only help us wash clean a few million, but also bring us hundreds of thousands of legal income!"

Mr. Pasiletuo roughly understood. "Very interesting means, I hadn't thought that movies could bring us these before. How did you think of it?"

In fact, even until now, no one has had the idea of money laundering in movies, because this industry has just developed.

At this time, the cinemas in the Federation are mainly based on movies of twenty minutes to one hour, and there are not many one-hour ones, so the price of movie tickets cannot go up.

Dozens of people watch a movie, collecting ten or twenty dollars. This little money is not as good as the money processed by a washing machine in a laundry in a day.

But Lanse saw things from it that others couldn't see, which made him more interested in Lanse. Before, his understanding of this young man all came from Alberto.

When he talked about the calmness Lanse and these people showed when they came to borrow money, he was willing to give the other party a chance to wipe out this account that actually had no expenditure by working for himself.

Lanse and their performance was amazing, which made him decide to continue to associate with Lanse, and later his performance became more and more amazing, so that now, in some respects, Lanse was even about to catch up with him.

Except that Lanse had no background in this city and had not built a perfect network of contacts, he was actually not worse than those gangs that had been established for many years.

Mr. Pasiletuo was also very interested in the young man highly recommended by Alberto, but before this, his interest in Lanse was only that he felt this young man was very energetic and had some small cleverness.

He didn't have the idea of letting Lanse join his family.

If the interest before was only based on Alberto's bragging, then now, he had realized that this was indeed a very talented and thoughtful young man.

Lanse showed a humble side in front of Mr. Pasiletuo. The Five Great Families of Jincheng were also among the best in the criminal groups of the entire Federation.

If you have to find an intuitive example, then it is probably like... a member of Congress, and there is no President or Emperor in this industry, the member of Congress is the top.

So Lanse would give him the respect he deserved.

"Mr. Pasiletuo, there are many terrible places in the Federation, but it is indeed the place where the economy develops most rapidly in the world."

"I will use my eyes to observe this society and look for suitable opportunities. I think movies that are not paid attention to by people will become an important opportunity!"

Mr. Pasiletuo nodded. "I definitely don't know as much as you about this matter. Why don't you do something first to let me take a look?"

Lanse considered it for a while and agreed. "I will do it, sir."

It wasn't that he wanted to attach himself to Mr. Pasiletuo's family, but this matter itself had huge benefits.

The Keda family washed a million and it was halved, leaving only five hundred thousand.

There must be taxes that should be paid for winning money in a personal casino, but the Keda family also extracted a lot of money from it.

Casinos are their main means of profit, and money laundering is also.

But what if there is a more reasonable money laundering channel now?

And the money laundering handling fee is less, and it is safer and more reliable. Will people join?

Lanse believes, definitely will!

Even if he charges a thirty percent handling fee, these people will also throw themselves into his arms, so why can't this matter be done?

But if it was just Lanse doing this matter himself, it would very likely not be done now, because he was just a small character with no background.

With the size of the Five Great Families of Jincheng, with the scale of the Five Great Families of the Federation, they might not even need to pick up the phone to suppress Lanse now.

They only need to twist their mouths to the people around them, "I heard that a guy named Lanse in the Imperial District has been very arrogant recently...", and then he might have to go find Jason to compete on who can hold their breath longer.

In the rich experience Lanse gained in another world, pulling the tiger skin and holding the big flag is always a good means for small characters to climb up quickly.

You may not be afraid of me, but you cannot not be afraid of Mr. Pasiletuo behind me. Although Mr. Pasiletuo behind me has not expressed "I will cover for this young man," who dares to bet that he really hasn't said so, or thought so?

After coming out of Mr. Pasiletuo's manor, Alberto looked very happy. He always felt that Lanse would definitely become a big shot. Now even his boss began to notice him and was interested in his things.

This is a manifestation. People who can succeed will show that potential before they succeed. That's what he thinks.

For example, the Four Great Families of Sumuli Island, even when the Prime Minister went to Sumuli Island to promote his political philosophy, he had to visit these four families one by one, and then he could talk about his philosophy of governing the country.

He grew up listening to the stories of the founders of these four families, like Ke Lai, who had a light shining into the room in the dark night when he was born.

Like Yi Fan, who clearly drowned but saw his future in the water and thus succeeded.

There was also someone who could confront lead bullets head-on and not die after being shot, leaving the legend of "Undying Enzo" in Sumuli—but there were also rumors that Enzo finally died of assassination.

The assassin used a dagger and, in his own unbelievable gaze, stabbed into Enzo's chest.

But Enzo's family claimed that the despicable assassin used poison. Specifically how it was, no one knew.

In short, successful people always have some special potential. When Lanse easily handled things he felt were tricky, he felt that this was potential.

If Lanse did very well and got more appreciation from Mr. Pasiletuo, regardless of whether he joined the family or not, Alberto's status would be improved because of Lanse's success.

Everyone wants to stand higher, even if the higher the ranking in the criminal group, the faster they die when judged, but they are still willing to do so.

Sitting in the car, Lanse asked a question. "Do you know where to get cheap wine?"

Alberto was a bit strange, but thought that the origin of the batch of wine Lanse mentioned had some problems, so he didn't continue to think deeply.

Just thinking about the question itself, he also reached a conclusion. "Are you planning to open a bar?"

Lanse nodded, but shook his head again. "Not entirely."

"I contracted the Workers' Club, and I signed a contract with the Dock Workers' Union. In the next ten years, the Workers' Union will be operated by me."

"There are more than ten thousand workers on the dock..."

Alberto gasped. "Everyone letting you earn five cents a day is also several hundred, but they definitely won't just let you earn five cents!"

He looked at Lanse's eyes and had some changes again. Isn't this the potential of a successful person?

Who could think of these, and who thought of these?

Lanse shook his head. "Not everyone will come over, so you think too exaggeratedly, and I didn't do this to make money."

Looking at Alberto's distrustful eyes, Lanse was not easy to explain. From the birth of the Labor Union and the Union to now, the federal government has been doing one thing in these decades—

Trying every means to dig into the influence of the Labor Union and the Union in the working class, making them completely detach from the working class.

In fact, they have already done a part, but the effect is not very obvious yet.

But these have nothing to do with Lanse. What has to do with Lanse is that since they can shout "National Workers' Great Unity," why can't he shout it?

Maybe the effect of shouting at this time is not as good as at the beginning, but he can unite workers?

If these ten thousand workers on the dock all become people on his side, then there are too many things he can do!

So Alberto won't understand his thoughts. This might be a problem of people's vision for the development context of the era.

For those things that have already happened and experienced, you can always grasp the key points more easily than others.

Alberto shrugged. "Anyway, what do you plan to want?"

"Beer, cheap whiskey, preferably some fruit wine and sparkling wine. I will have some girls there."

In fact, to some extent, working on the dock and exercising in the gym are essentially no different. They are all high-intensity aerobic exercise and tearing exercise.

This also led to the workers being affected by testosterone, and their desires became more intense. Even if they couldn't do anything with these women, just watching from afar, they were willing to come over and sit for a while, and have a drink.

Of course, there is also a profit model here. Lanse intends to try it and see if anyone is willing to be the top brother.

"These are all very ordinary wines. Many wineries in the Federation now have stock, but their prices are relatively high, already close to the market price."

"Recently, I have also been asking about this matter. There are many wineries in Xiang Yalan that are very cheap, and the transportation costs are not expensive."

"I might go there in a while. If you also want to find a stable source of goods, we can go together."

Lanse didn't hesitate for too long and agreed. "Tell me when you leave."

After returning to Lezhu, Lanse went to the lounge to meet others, then played billiards for a while and left.

These people have always been friendly to him. Whether it is for Alberto's face, Lanse doesn't care much.

After returning to the company, everything seemed to become calm again. Although Will's death brought some changes, changes in everyone's spirit, and some other changes, it didn't really affect the current life.

The next morning, on the open space outside the Shengnaye Cathedral, when Lanse came over this time, more people had taken the initiative to greet him, such as Mr. Botun.

He saw Lanse get out of the car and raised his hands, shaking constantly, and kindly called Lanse's name, as if their relationship was very good.

"I heard some things, Lanse, is it true?" There was a different kind of brilliance in his eyes.

For federal citizens, for residents outside the Imperial District, they are not familiar with the name Will at all.

But for the imperial immigrants in the Imperial District, this name and the things behind him are people's nightmares!

No one wants to be targeted by them. Once targeted, not only will they lose a large sum of money, but they might also die.

These people don't follow the rules, and often tear up tickets. People don't like them and are afraid of them.

Now that they suddenly know that someone was killed by Lanse, and Lanse looks like he is living well, these people's minds have had some different changes.

Although it is possible to offend the Kamila Gang because of this, it is also possible to get a protection because of this.

Lanse shook his head and didn't answer directly. "I don't know much about what you said. It should have nothing to do with me, and don't spread this kind of thing everywhere. Maybe when, you will provoke others."

Mr. Botun immediately closed his mouth and made a zipper action. "Don't worry, my mouth is the tightest."

"But anyway, Lanse, people feel happy. If there is anything you need me for, tell me anytime!"

The true villain Mr. Botun, although he is really not likable in some respects, is still more than a hundred times stronger than his son in being a villain and maintaining decency.

Lanse didn't bluntly refuse him. "If I need your help, I will definitely tell you. I hope you won't hide from me then."

This sentence made Mr. Botun feel very face-saving. He laughed loudly and wanted to pat Lanse's shoulder. His hands were raised, but when he thought of the gap between the two, his two palms met in front of his chest and rubbed together.

"Look at what you said, whether it is what you did for us, or that you are Jier'er's friend, as long as you need me, I will definitely not refuse."

He looked at the people around who were still looking over here and took the initiative to leave. "Then I won't disturb you. It can be seen that everyone wants to talk to you."

He apologized and took the initiative to leave. Soon someone walked over and kindly greeted Lanse, and said two flattering and scene-appropriate words.

These people's words actually revealed one meaning—

If one day, I encounter difficulties from the Kamila Gang, can I ask you for help?

No one knows whether those who specialize in persecuting themselves will choose themselves. They dare not take chances like those who have already had their tickets torn up. They have to be prepared.

In this regard, Lanse said that everyone is an imperial person in the Federation. If they need it, he is willing to lend a helping hand. ===== CHAPTER 133 =====
