Chapter 109 Shadow Company Establishment

Director Huang's secretary brought several large legal books, including those on corporate law, criminal law, contract law, etc. After Wang Jiankun got them, he let Director Huang go about his business. He stayed in the conference room to read a book while Lawyer Lu prepared the materials for him to review.

"Then I'm going to be busy now, boss. Call me if you have anything."

"Okay, go ahead. I'll read a book here and come find you if I need anything."

After Director Huang left, Wang Jiankun first projected all the legal books sent to him into his mind, asked Zhizi to study and organize them, and briefly showed him some items in the company law and contract law that were currently in use.

Chieko's ability to summarize and generalize is quite good. It didn't take long for her to organize these legal provisions and display the relevant provisions that Wang Jiankun is most likely to use one by one.

Wang Jiankun's comprehension and memory abilities are of course very good, so he has a clear concept of the laws and regulations that need to be paid attention to when establishing a company and signing a contract in Hong Kong.

After waiting for about half an hour, Lawyer Lu handed Wang Jiankun a printed list of detailed requirements, and then took out an authorization document and gave it to Wang Jiankun, saying that after signing it, she could go to her law firm to follow up on the case. She would be able to give a rough plan and discuss specific matters with Wang Jiankun tomorrow.

Wang Jiankun lamented that in a capitalist society, money can indeed speed up many things.

After reading the authorization content, Wang Jiankun signed his name and handed it to Lu Yan. He saw the full name of Lawyer Lu from the authorized person.

I made an appointment with lawyer Lu Yan to go to Yongxin Law Firm at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, then said goodbye to Director Huang and left Xingyao Machinery Factory.

After driving back to his apartment in Causeway Bay, Wang Jiankun went to the nearby library to look for some legal books and projected them all into his mind.

This place is still under British management, so there are many legal books from the UK. Wang Jiankun is good at English, so I asked Chieko to sort it out and then presented it to him in the original English version.

In these documents, Wang Jiankun found the legal basis for setting up a shadow company. To be honest, at the beginning Wang Jiankun didn’t understand why the British allowed this. Wouldn’t this result in a loss of tax revenue for his country?

In fact, what Wang Jiankun didn’t know was that there are several places in the world that specialize in low tax rates and do not require disclosure of company information. For example, many ships are registered in Panama, where the management of ships is very loose and the tax rate is very low.

After understanding these legal provisions, Wang Jiankun felt very confident about finding someone to register a shadow company. The only issues that needed to be resolved were the apparent management personnel and the company's registered capital.

The capital does not need to be paid in one lump sum, but can be paid in batches when the formal registration is completed, which gives Wang Jiankun time to raise the money.

A few days ago, he deposited some money in several banks, a total of 300 million US dollars. Then in the past six months, Peter ordered about 300 million US dollars worth of lighters, but 150 million has been used for Xingyao Electronics and Xingyao Machinery, so Wang Jiankun can only use 450 million US dollars now, which is far from 5 million US dollars.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to continue producing US dollars, but he has not yet found a numbering pattern for US dollars. The more than 300 million US dollars are all based on real US dollars as samples, so the bank here will definitely not find any problems after they are produced. However, if he uses the numbers he made up, there may be problems.

However, the problem of money did not bother him. He prepared several plans, one of which was to bet on horses and scratch lottery tickets. When chatting with the local hams before, Wang Jiankun learned that gambling was prevalent here, especially betting on horses and lottery tickets.

Originally, the prize pools of Mark Six Lottery and some digital lotteries were larger, but Wang Jiankun compared the actual numbers calculated by Zhizi and found traces of human intervention. They were not truly random, so this type of lottery whose final winning numbers can be manipulated by humans is not suitable.

At noon, I cooked myself a potato and beef brisket rice in the apartment. After eating, I rode the motorcycle I bought to the nearby lottery station.

"Boss, which instant lottery ticket has the biggest prize?" Wang Jiankun asked in Cantonese.

"Handsome boy, this kind of lottery has the highest prize money. Look at the introduction above. The highest prize is 2 million Hong Kong dollars. Do you want to buy some scratch tickets to try?"

"Then how much can you redeem directly? If I win the highest prize, can I redeem it here?"

"Handsome boy, I see you don't come here to buy lottery tickets often. Let me tell you, our medium-sized lottery shops can directly redeem prizes of 10 Hong Kong dollars or less. If you want to redeem prizes over , you have to go to the lottery center. But we can also recycle lottery tickets~." The boss said the last sentence in a low voice.

"Recycling, you mean you can sell the winning lottery ticket to someone else? How do you sell it?"

"Usually, we buy it back at the original price, so you save the tax. But if you meet someone who is in urgent need, you can pay a premium."

Wang Jiankun learned from his boss that he also runs a lottery ticket buying and selling introduction business. After all, Hong Kong Island has begun to investigate corruption among public officials, which has given rise to this kind of business where people buy back winning lottery tickets at the original price or even at a higher price.

The person who wants to bribe buys the lottery ticket and gives it to the person who wants to receive the bribe. In this way, the transaction is completed reasonably and legally. Even if someone reports that a public official has a large amount of property, there is evidence of the original prize redemption. The Independent Commission Against Corruption currently has no good way to investigate this situation, so lottery buying and selling is very popular now.

After learning about this situation, Wang Jiankun felt much more at ease. This way, even if he won the jackpot, he could sell it nearby without having to go to the prize redemption center frequently to claim the prize.

So in more than three hours in the afternoon, Wang Jiankun ran around more than 3 medium-sized and more than 50 large lottery outlets on Hong Kong Island, and issued a total of more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars in lottery tickets. He opened all the grand prizes, and then redeemed the first prize of 3 million at the lottery center. The others were sold to lottery shop owners or buyers introduced by them.

Of course, Wang Jiankun has also encountered people who do not follow the rules. Two people wanted to buy a lottery ticket with a prize of 120 million yuan. Only the top layer of the money they brought was real, and the rest was fake.

Wang Jiankun used his super powers to discover it in advance and suggested that they exchange it for real money before coming back. Seeing that Wang Jiankun was the only one who came to trade, the two men didn't even want to pay the tens of thousands of real banknotes, and took out a knife to threaten Wang Jiankun to hand over the lottery ticket.

Of course he was not afraid. He first used his superpowers to extract some of the potassium in their blood, causing them to instantly become weak and fall to the ground, and then he slowly interrogated them.

When they saw this strange scene, they immediately began to beg for mercy. After interrogating them for a while, Wang Jiankun found out that these two people were specifically looking to get something for nothing. When they met lone lottery buyers, they would either force the buyers to buy tickets or wait until the other party didn't notice the counterfeit money, then they would buy the tickets and run away. They had already harmed several people, so in order to prevent future troubles, Wang Jiankun let the two men completely merge with the earth in a secluded place, and used his superpowers to decompose them.

Wang Jiankun deposited HK$3 million from the money he exchanged and sold the lottery tickets in a Swiss bank, and kept HK$7 million in his suitcase.

The largest denomination is 1 Hong Kong dollars, so 1 million Hong Kong dollars is only 10 large stacks, and it is not heavy to put it in the portable aluminum alloy box. Wang Jiankun plans to keep this money and go to the Jockey Club tomorrow after talking with the law firm. In the past few days, on the road, in the store, and on TV, Wang Jiankun has heard the word horse racing many times.

Wang Jiankun also discovered that the TV programs often broadcasted in many stores here were horse racing programs, and many people would go to the betting stations to place bets or call to place bets. However, Wang Jiankun planned to go to the scene to see the action before placing a bet, as he would be sure of his chances of winning only when he was there.

After all, the ranking of horse races can still be controlled artificially. However, as long as Wang Jiankun arrives at the scene, he is very confident that he can control the ranking of each game. Within the coverage area of ​​his superpowers, he can monitor the movements of everyone, and he can also intervene in the race.

Early in the morning on June 6, Wang Jiankun woke up and went to the local tea restaurant for breakfast. He was tired of cooking three meals in the apartment yesterday. Because of his poor cooking skills, the food he made was barely edible, so he solved the problem of eating out today.

The young people here have a rich nightlife, so most of the people who get up early are elderly people. Wang Jiankun ate his morning tea while listening to these older people talking about Hong Kong's past.

Many of these elderly people lived in mainland China when they were young, mainly in Guangdong and Fujian, so they speak a mixture of Hakka, Cantonese and Cantonese. Many people can understand them, but when they speak, they use the language they are accustomed to. Wang Jiankun also learned a lot of Hakka and Cantonese.

After leisurely eating for more than an hour, Wang Jiankun walked slowly towards the apartment, touching his bulging belly.

He hasn't been so leisurely for a long time. Before, he was always busy with one thing after another, and he had to put all his effort and concentration into each one. As a result, he is now mentally very strong. However, he has been sleeping a little less, which has caused some hair loss.

Today's appointment was at 10 o'clock in the morning, so Wang Jiankun took the opportunity to relax.

Standing in the apartment and looking across to Tseung Kwan O, you can see large cargo ships coming in and out, and from time to time there are also some white speedboats sailing on the sea.

When it was 9 o'clock, Wang Jiankun went downstairs and drove to the Fuji Building where Yongxin Law Firm was located.

This is the most prosperous area in Hong Kong with the most densely populated buildings. It is also the rush hour at this time, so Wang Jiankun can only drive his car slowly.

It was not until 9:40 that Wang Jiankun drove to the parking lot of the building and parked his car. Seeing that the parking fee started at HK$10 and increased to HK$2 per hour after half an hour, Wang Jiankun had a more intuitive understanding of the consumption here.

One day's parking here is equivalent to a month's salary for an ordinary worker in the mainland.

Yongxin Law Firm is on the 28th floor of the building. Wang Jiankun took the elevator up. During the trip, he projected the elevator system into his mind, intending to make some changes to the elevator in the underground base after returning.

"Hello, sir. Do you have an appointment?" the front desk of the law firm asked.

"I'm Wang Jiankun. Lawyer Lu Yan told me yesterday to come to your law firm at 10 o'clock today. Please check it out."

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll check it out."

After a while, the receptionist greeted Wang Jiankun warmly and led him to the VIP reception room. At the same time, other service staff brought him the coffee he ordered and several kinds of fruit snacks.

After a few minutes, four people came in, including lawyer Lu Yan.

"Hello, Mr. Wang. Let me introduce you. This is Lawyer Li Ming, who is the most knowledgeable about corporate law in our law firm. He will be in charge of your case. Lawyer Li has worked on corporate structures for more than 20 companies, three of which have already been listed in Hong Kong, and one is about to be listed in the United States. The two people next to him are his assistants." Lu Yan introduced.

"Hello, Lawyer Li. I have asked Lawyer Lu to show you my appeal. I came here today to discuss with you in detail the establishment of the shadow company and the establishment of various subsidiaries."

"Hello, Mr. Wang. I have been responsible for the establishment of many shadow companies and have extensive experience in this area. You should take a look at the draft structure of the three group companies you mentioned. I will explain them to you one by one."

After Lawyer Li Ming finished speaking, he took a document from his assistant and handed it to Wang Jiankun.

Wang Jiankun flipped through it for a while. Since he had asked Chieko to briefly present to him the important provisions of the Company Law, he could roughly understand the document.

Of course, some details were not understood, and these are where problems are likely to occur, so after reading it, Wang Jiankun continued to listen to Lawyer Li Ming's explanation.

During this period, Wang Jiankun kept asking questions and asked Li Ming to cite some cases.

On the one hand, he wanted to see what Lawyer Li was capable of, and on the other hand, he wanted to enrich his knowledge in this area through the cases he told.

Lawyers who can become senior partners in law firms are all extremely capable. They can give examples at will and present them clearly and concisely.

After confirming that he had the ability, Wang Jiankun clarified to him the requirements of the three major group companies and a series of subsidiaries to be established, and then signed a power of attorney agreement with him, entrusting him with full authority to handle matters related to the establishment of the company.

Wang Jiankun only needs to come back two days later to sign some documents and transfer the corresponding funds to different banks. Then he can wait to receive the company seal and business license.

At present, these group companies can only be regarded as semi-shell companies. Their addresses are all small offices found by the law firm. The staff are all externally hired and are only responsible for delivering phone calls and documents. Except for the Xingyao Group, which needs to immediately find Huang Kun and Chen Dongxing to take over the accounting issues, the other two group companies do not need to do so because they have not yet started business.

After paying a HK$20 agency fee, Wang Jiankun left the Yongxin Law Firm and drove to the Jockey Club headquarters. He planned to make up the remaining HK$1.8 million by buying horses.

The main grandstand of Happy Valley Racecourse is located on Wong Nai Chung Road. As Wang Jiankun was not yet a member of the Jockey Club, he could not enter the car park. He had no choice but to drive his car away and park it in a hotel car park on the faraway Leighton Road, and then take a taxi to the Jockey Club headquarters.

Wang Jiankun bought the seat closest to the Jockey Club headquarters and betting station at a high price, and started watching the horse racing. He also asked Chieko to help analyze the winning rate of each horse before placing a test bet.
