Chapter 39 The first contact with Snake Shield
A non-famous Shuren named Zhou once said:
"The louder the noise, the more no one dares to move."
To simply describe it, it is bluffing, at least a little thief with little strength would not dare to do so.
Even the U.S. government will be tempted by this amount of money.
In just a few days, I have already dealt with several waves of people coming to "beg for alms".
Claude never thought that he would come into contact with Snake and Shield in this way.
He looked carefully at the middle-aged white man in front of him with a kind, round face, wearing a black suit and unusually thick hair.
Claude couldn't help but complain in his heart:
"Where's the promised mayor of Novice Village, Phil Coulson?"
Like countless senior time travellers, Claude didn't hear clearly the long list of English words spoken by the middle-aged white man. He drank the happy water, crossed his legs and asked the middle-aged man in front of him:
"Okay, what organization did you say you were from? The name was too long, so I didn't hear it clearly."
The middle-aged man obviously answered this question often and introduced himself again very skillfully:
"Hello, Mr. Cloud, I'm Agent Rick, representing the Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency."
What we want is this effect. Who asked you to choose the name of the organization so long? How can it be worthy of your own ears if you are not allowed to read it a few times?
Although, he still didn't hear clearly, Claude nodded politely and said:
"Okay, that's quite a twist."
Agent Rick handed the business card to Claude and said with a smile:
"I know we're working on this little problem."
Taking the business card handed over by Rick, Claude glanced at it briefly and put it aside.
The familiar eagle emblem is printed on the business card, and it is unmistakable that S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Haha, I can't believe a word the agent said. He also said that he was solving it. Damn, until Iron Man was born, wouldn't he still have such a long name?"
Claude sneered in his heart.
"I have made donations to government departments including the FBI, CIA, police agencies, etc. through the group's charities, so what is the difference between you and them?"
"Our agency is an independent department with more centralized functions. We are the world's last line of defense, and accordingly we have a funding gap."
Cloud waved his hand to interrupt the agent's tirade. He didn't care how awesome Snake and Shield was. In the end, it was just GG. Most of the things in the Marvel Universe were directly or indirectly caused by this crappy agency.
Claude muttered in his heart "30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty" and then asked the question he was most concerned about:
“Can I issue an invoice to deduct tax?”
Rick nodded affirmatively and said:
"certainly"
Rick was relieved. Since the new leader, the guy with dark skin and dark heart, has ascended to the position of director, changing the low-key style of former director Pierce.
The new director is no longer satisfied with just relying on funding from the World Security Council. Agents like them, who are kind-looking and well-spoken, have been tasked with soliciting sponsorship.
This is a pain for Rick. He is good at sneaking, stealing, killing, arson, etc., but door-to-door begging, door-to-door solicitation for sponsorship is really not within the scope of his business.
Fortunately, this Claude is easy to talk to, otherwise the bonuses this month, next month, and the month after that would be in danger.
Friendly sent the agent who came to beg for alms out the door, and after paying a donation of 2000 million US dollars, the first confrontation with Snake and Shield ended in a harmonious atmosphere, and his ability was well-deserved.
Nick Fury, who received the donation, was very satisfied. He had no choice but to pay attention to the price of firewood and rice, and the boss had no surplus food at home.
The Security Council gives a lot of money, but the supervision is also strict. If you want to dig some mouse holes, bah, it is to maintain world peace and have some backup, so you have to think of other ways.
This time, he was forced to come up with a solution due to lack of money. Fortunately, a donation of 2000 million yuan was given for the first goal, which made Heilaodan firm up his policy of raising donations.
This Xinghuan Group is so generous, so I will take care of it in the future.Fury thought silently.
Pierce is also very satisfied. Don't think that Hei Braised Egg is greedy for money. He will be good too.
Hydra is even more in need of money than Serpent and Shield, and everyone adds more to each of them. Most of it is divided between two people, and the rest is used to improve the lives of Serpent and Shield agents.
The reason why Claude donated so much money was not only because he was not strong enough to spend money to buy peace, but also because of the issue of paying taxes.
In the United States, if you want not to pay taxes, you either invest all your money or donate it all.
Even in previous transactions, the other party's funds were required to be outside the United States as much as possible, but there was still a large amount of funds in the country.
With such a large sum of money in hand, it is obviously unrealistic to arrange all of it in a short time. It may also lead to some fancy companies to raise their own prices for "unusual goods".
Although Claude is not short of money, he doesn't want others to treat him like a fat sheep.
The result of paying taxes is inevitable, so instead of giving it to the IRS in vain, it is better to use it to do some good things.
Not only can you gain some good reputation, but you can also build good relationships with some powerful government departments.
No, not to mention the two Directors Hei Ludan and Pierce, at least the cruise ship incident in the past few years set the tone.
Thanks to the efforts of all recipient organizations, the U.S. government came forward to prepare for the largest shipwreck in the new century.
Taking Claude's name out of this incident, they had never boarded the Ocean Lady.
There is no doubt that this is not the first time that the US government has endorsed certain people.
After deducting the 300 billion expected to bid for CBS, 40 billion was used to acquire MGM, which was about to be put up for auction by the Whisperer. After excluding donations, there was still 50 billion left.
By the way, there are still a lot of funds still circulating outside the United States. Under the operation of the accounting firm, as long as the money does not enter the United States, the tax bureau will not come to collect taxes.
Claude was lost in thought about this huge sum of more than 50 billion. You must know that spending money is good for a while, and it will always be good if you keep spending it. What if you can't hold back.
The acquisition of CBS and MGM will undoubtedly be a long-term negotiation, and these will naturally be taken care of by my good friend Serena.
So Crowder shifted his focus to smaller targets like Lionsgate and East West Bank.
Having your own bank will make it very convenient to raise and mobilize funds, and is undoubtedly one of the necessary conditions for becoming a mature consortium.
For Claude, the greater benefit is to be able to legally handle the gold in the system mall.
After the new millennium, the annual global demand for gold will exceed 3000 tons, and the exchange price of 3000 tons of gold in the system mall is only 30 tons of gold.With this amount of source material together, Claude only had to "go without eating or drinking" for more than two years.
As long as you pay attention to controlling the quantity and not causing major fluctuations in the global gold market, this will be a long-term stable source of funds.
After completing the two acquisitions, in order to speed up the completion of the task, Claude took Serena on a global shopping trip in the name of the New Year's holiday.
First of all, of course, it is to buy a gift for the hard-working Queen. You must know that no matter where you are, the most important thing is to appease the backyard.Moreover, Serena still handled group matters on the phone while on vacation.
What should I do if the straight man doesn’t know how to choose a gift?
Then first buy all the luxury jewelry brands you can buy. Later luxury goods giants relied on these luxury goods to become the richest man in the world.
Then came buying a house, since selling the apartment where they first met.
Claude is like the most miserable Hollywood star living on the street. He doesn't even own a property of his own and has been living in a hotel under his name for a long time.
New York, Miami, London, Paris, San Francisco, etc., you can buy it wherever you go.In order to build a love nest for the two of them, Claude bought more than one hundred acres of land in the suburbs of Los Angeles, where he planned to build a future manor for the two of them to live in.
When passing through New York, Serena bought the apartment in New York for 120 million.
It seems that as long as it is the first time, it is very important for women.
Then there is the matter of satisfying Claude's personal hobbies.Since Abramovich bought Chelsea, world football has ushered in an era of gold-dollar football.No, not anymore, please change this name to Claude; I heard that Bugatti’s sports cars are very popular, so this company belongs to me.
Alas, as I said, this broken mission system is more suitable for the entertainment industry.
