I am a master in India

Chapter 141 Can't Do It

"If you want to go to Canada, you have to apply for a Canadian passport." Ron replied with a smile.

"Then get one, I'll pay for it, my family is there." The fat corrupt official responded hurriedly.

"No problem, $300,000 and I'll get you on a plane to the US within three days."

"What!" screamed the fat corrupt official. "Are you kidding? In Brazil, it can be done for $50,000."

"How about I send you back to Brazil?" Ron's face turned cold.

Luca tried to say something, but he glared back.

Thinking of bringing $500,000 to the United States intact? That's a bit naive.

Look at what this corrupt official has done. He even dares to embezzle children's life-saving money.

Ron would not be able to get rid of the evil in his heart unless he killed this kind of person.

The corrupt official wanted to curse loudly, he was furious, but he glanced at the bodyguard beside Ron and quickly stopped.

This is Mumbai. If you piss them off, you might end up getting robbed.

You know what, if it weren't for Luca, Ron wouldn't want to leave him even a dollar.

In order to leave this hellhole as soon as possible, the fat corrupt official gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Three days! If you can't do that, I'll leave."

Ron chuckled. He didn't care at all about the other party's cowardice.

Leave? Without his order, the other party couldn't even leave the wooden house.

Luca winked at his younger brother and followed Ron outside.

"Man, he has some connection with my family after all."

"This is a villain. Don't tell me you don't know what he did."

"Even so, that can't be"

"Okay, Luca, I'll only take 300,000. I'm not interested in the rest, you can do whatever you want."

Luca paused, his face grimacing. Hundreds of thousands of dollars, he had his own ideas.

What acquaintances? Are they more attractive than dollars? He doesn't even care about the lives of those Brazilians who buy medicine, so why would he care about these things?

Being able to send that corrupt official to the United States safely means that even if we consider our old friendship, at least he didn't do anything too extreme.

"Keep an eye on him, don't let him get away," Ron reminded. "He should have connections in Canada. We'll just take the money and not cause any other trouble."

"I know. We're only after money, not life." Luca assured him, patting his chest.

Tsk, that sounded weird, Ron shook his head and left.

Ron went to find Hela, and the passport business would fall on her.

Hela had just finished her shower. She had stayed in the study for too long, and the light box made her sweat all over.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" She smoothed her hair, looking energetic.

"Oh, business, big business." Ron came back to his senses.

Hela glanced at him. "Go inside first?"

"No, the business I'm talking about is Daole. That American passport, I mentioned it last time."

"Oh, I remember now. That passport is being verified and will be ready soon."

Clean passports must go through two checks. There is a customs officer at Mumbai Airport who has access to the airport computer and is responsible for the first check.

Ghani, who was in charge of the passport business under Hardhan, ordered his men to write down the passport number of the issuing country and the name of the original holder of each passport that needed to be checked on a piece of paper, and then hand it to the official at the time and place specified by him.

He crossed out any passports listed on the paper that had been specially marked in the computer.

A day or two later, the official returned the paper. Some of the passports with special markings were issued to people whose original holders had been declared internationally wanted criminals.

In some cases, the original owners are listed as suspects, perhaps involved in illegal transactions or having disturbing political reasons.

These marked passports will be screened out and cannot be sold on the black market. Khadhan also values ​​integrity in doing business.

However, the marked passports are still useful. Hella will remove the saddle stitching and take out the usable part to use as blank pages in other passports.

In India, they can also be used as passports to register foreigners when checking into hotels.

The hotel staff were not that careful when filling out Form C; as long as it was a passport, it would be fine.

Apart from being unable to travel abroad, problematic passports can still be used freely in India.

After the first screening at customs, the remaining passports are sent to the second inspection checkpoint - the offices of various airlines.

Major airlines also keep a specially marked passport list, which mainly records bad passengers with poor credit ratings, those who have defrauded airlines, and those who have behaved violently while flying.

Those who need to forge passports are smugglers or criminals, and they naturally do not want to attract the attention of airlines or customs.

Only after passing these two checkpoints will the remaining passport be clean.

Khad Khan's Ghani has people in most airlines in Mumbai, enough to ensure that the selected passports can be used in most countries in the world.

The passport being prepared for the corrupt Brazilian official is now going through this process.

"Honey, we have to speed up. Three days, and we also need to prepare a Canadian passport." "Why are you in such a hurry all of a sudden? Look at my eyes, I have dark circles under them." Hela deliberately bent down and lowered her collar.

"You're beautiful, Hela," Ron reassured her, "but like I said, this is big business, three hundred thousand dollars!"

“What!” Hela straightened up with a bang, and her pajamas shook.

"Are you shocked?" Ron said proudly, "I gave him a good beating."

Next, he told Hela about the corrupt official. He would never feel guilty no matter how many times he cheated on such a person.

"God, this is a big fat sheep in the passport business. Even if you offer $500,000, they will agree in the end." Hela regretted not being able to make an extra $200,000.

"Isn't this too much of an exaggeration? I feel like 300,000 is his bottom line."

"No, Ron, you don't understand. He'll agree. He's the kind of client whose life would be in danger without a passport."

During Hela's career, there are three main types of customers who buy illegal passports.

The first category is economic refugees, those who are forced to leave their homes due to famine and poverty.

Most of them will choose European countries such as Germany and Italy, hoping to live a good life abroad.

One or several families, sometimes even the entire village, would pool their money to buy a passport and send a particularly favored son to the beautiful place they longed for.

Once there, the man worked to repay his loan and eventually bought a new passport so other young men and women could come.

This type of passport is usually relatively cheap, ranging from US$5,000 to US$20,000, and is also called a poverty passport by industry insiders like Hela.

Political refugees are the second largest group of clients, often fleeing abroad due to severe unrest or war.

The Persian Gulf countries are the largest potential customer base, as they are close enough to Mumbai and have never had a peaceful day.

Such passports typically cost under $50,000, depending on the danger of fleeing the war zone.

The third type of client is the illegal fugitive, who may be a smuggler, a killer, or a fallen dictator, warlord, or secret police.

Their need for passports is the most urgent and they often do not care about the cost.

Get a passport and be reborn. Past history and sins will be wiped out at the moment of the transaction.

If you can't get a passport, everything is over, no matter how much money you have.

"So that corrupt official will definitely agree, unless he loves money more than his life." Hela brought Ron to the studio.

She picked up a passport from the table and handed it to him. It was the American passport that the corrupt official needed.

Surprisingly, it was not that new, and there were even deliberate stains in some places to make every page of the fake passport look realistic and natural.

The seal was also placed at a slightly tilted angle, and the blurred mark was just right.

"Will it be usable once it's checked by the airline?" Ron asked.

“We’re almost there,” Hela pointed to the blank travel record page in the passport. “We need to write a history for each new passport.”

Old passports obtained from foreigners often have blank travel records for several months or even years.

If this doesn't match the experience of existing licensees, that can also cause trouble.

Some passports have expired visas, and the period must be erased from the passport before it can be used.

In order to get the exit stamp from Mumbai Airport before the last visa arrives, making it appear that the passport holder has left the country within the validity period of the visa, some manipulation is required.

Hella will use spare stamps to create a history of travel between countries for this passport.

It is necessary to ensure that the time logic makes sense, and the latest stamp must be the visa stamp here in India.

This is also a science. Hela's desk is piled with flight logs from major airlines, which list the flight dates and arrival dates of flights to various countries.

The passport history fabricated using this information is highly credible and has almost no flaws.

"I can't do this kind of business." Ron was amazed.

"That's not the hardest part. I once even helped a client create a 20-year travel experience, allowing him to travel safely from Africa to the United States."

"Only you can do this," Ron shrugged. "So you can get two passports in three days?"

“It’s difficult!” Hela shook her head. “There’s not enough time. The best I can do is get an American passport.”

"What should we do then?" Ron was dumbfounded. He couldn't just rob the $300,000.

"We can only go to Canada to bleach our skin. I'll take care of it myself." Hela made the decision quickly.

"Bleach?" Ron was confused.

“This is a shortcut to quickly get customers to their destination. Someone must cooperate.” Hela smiled mysteriously.

She was ready to personally handle the $300,000 business.

In the past, this kind of work would be done by Khadhan's people, and Hela was only responsible for forging passports.

But the commission rate is small, at most a few thousand dollars.

Hardhan's people don't know about the existence of corrupt Brazilian officials, so she will find other excuses to cover it up.

She and Ron will do this business privately, and they must get the biggest share of the 300,000 no matter what.

"Okay, three days later, I'll bring that Brazilian guy to cooperate with you." Ron nodded.
