216. Sovereign business
Dong Zegang's attitude softened, and he also turned around, and the atmosphere on the wine table eased a lot. Hua Zhenxing changed his tone of inquiry, and asked two professionals to analyze the most likely situation of this case. Dong Zegang quietly glanced at Yue Gaole, and saw that the other party was looking at him with a smile, so he opened his mouth to speak.
Originally, he only planned to say a few words, but as soon as the conversation box opened, Hua Zhenxing would always ask questions at the joint, Dong Zegang was never willing to be looked down upon at the moment, so the conversation became more and more talkative, and he chatted for more than an hour.
As far as Dong Zegang knows, nationality business is common nowadays, especially in some small island countries. He highlighted two countries, St. Kitz and Domingo. The two island nations were once colonies of the Inn and only became independent decades ago, and there are many such immigration programs in their countries, and selling passports is as casual as selling local products on the streets.
St. Kitz sells thousands of passports a year, and the income from selling passports accounts for almost 30 percent of its gross national product. Domingo is even more exaggerated, earning more than half of its GDP from the sale of passports.
They not only sell passports but also residency rights, and there are special immigration consulting companies that have designed a variety of packages, and the cheapest ones can be obtained for almost 100,000 meters.
A small country in the barren sea, sell whatever you have, and create something to sell if you don't have anything. Nationality belongs to the sovereignty of the state, and sovereignty can also be used for business. The difference between people can be great, and the consciousness can vary greatly from country to country.
The case of the plantation in Philoso-Harbour involved a state-owned organization called Hengli Global Consultants. Dong Zegang was the legal counsel of Xingsheng Company, and the partner of Xingsheng Company in investment immigration was this firm.
This firm has played a very important role in these immigration projects, and those small countries have never thought of using their sovereignty to do business, and this firm has taught them by hand, and has created many programs tailored to the situation of each country.
Who would have such a need? There are always people who, for various reasons, want to have another identity, or even have several different passports.
Dong Zegang also hinted at Hua Zhenxing when he told the story, in fact, Old Man Yang also had many passports, and Feng Zibin's passport was also handled in a similar way.
Many countries in the world recognize dual or even multiple nationality, and it may be more convenient to do a lot of things with a multi-national passport. Even if some countries do not recognize dual nationality, someone can get a foreign passport in a different status to transfer assets, avoid taxes, and evade legal investigations.
For many immigration agencies, the nationality business is actually a very lucrative business, sometimes more profitable than opening a casino. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of citizenship go to the local government, but the intermediary services they provide, including financial and legal advisory services, are more expensive, and many investment projects are packaged.
Such a large industrial chain has attracted many institutions to participate, and Global Consulting is just one of them, especially after entering the new century, Dongguo has become their main development market. You can't buy or sell your nationality, but you can attract wealthy people to buy your nationality overseas.
After the establishment of the Romanian Alliance, the price of passports for those small countries that were granted visa-free travel by the Romanian Alliance has increased. With such a small passport, you can enter the countries of the Romanian Union visa-free as a tourist.
There are also many other services designed by the agencies to use the passports of these small countries as a springboard to obtain passports or resident status from the countries of the Romanian Union and the developed countries of North America.
When you buy a passport, someone will teach you how to change your identity so that you can avoid judicial pursuit. The so-called financial advisory service is often to teach people how to transfer assets and avoid taxes.
There was no passport seller in the past, and the wealthy people here almost always wanted to emigrate, and they would only buy passports. Because the passport of the country of several miles is not valuable, almost no one will be interested.
Xingsheng's business is newly developed by Global Consultants in recent years. It is the Daanyang company in the east that is really capable, and it has promoted this project to the sky, and publicized the African port to the sky, reversing its impression in the minds of customers, in fact, those customers have no impression of the African port either.
Take Geng Fanjian, for example, who spent more than 1 million Dongguo dollars for investment immigration. Among them, 700,000 DONG dollars is the cost of investing in hotels, and Global Consultants took half of it as commission, and Xingsheng Company only got 350,000 yuan to do things.
Xingsheng did not build a hotel, but colluded with the Banda municipal authorities to give Geng Fanjian a local passport.
Geng Fanjian also paid 500,000 yuan in third-party immigration fees, which is collected by Global Consulting. In other words, in this project, Global Consultants took the lion's share of the gains.
So how much money did Daanyang collect? First of all, they charged Geng Fanjian 15,000 yuan in consulting fees, and at the same time, they would also pay them a commission in the tripartite fees collected by Global Consultants, the specific amount of which Dong Zegang did not know, in short, it was the smallest part of the income.
Geng Fanjian thought that Daanyang Company was a professional immigration agency with a large scale and had been in business for many years, so there was no risk in cooperating with the other party, but in fact, he was wrong. Da Anyang is only the promoter of immigration projects, and they have taken on many projects, some of which have pits, some of which are not, some of which are big and some of which are small.
The project is a relatively large pit, and the hotel invested in is a complete scam, but Daan Yang has a complex set of legal procedures to avoid its own risks in litigation.
In fact, Geng Fanjian's biggest loss in theory is that his investment in the hotel has been lost, but after all, he still has a passport for a few miles and a new identity that no one knows. If he didn't come to Feisuo Port to investigate and collect evidence, and still thought about organizing a group to go to Banda City to settle accounts with Xingsheng Company, I am afraid that the end would not be so miserable.
These are Dong Zegang's general analysis of the case, which is not so much an analysis of the case as an analysis of the world situation.
After listening to this, Jogale did not say anything, but sighed and said, "This group of people is lucky enough, at least they were rescued." You know, in many parts of the world, it's easier to kill a person than a chicken. ”
Hua Zhenxing: "Don't say that there are many places in the world, Jili Country is such a place, and Feisuo Port used to be such a place. Lawyer Dong, you just used two island countries as an example, their passports are visa-free for tourism in the country, and then they are also visa-free for tourism in the Romanian Union. But Yin Guo has recently broken away from the Roba Alliance, what should I do? ”
Dong Zegang smiled bitterly: "This is an unexpected situation, and the immigration agency will not be responsible." I forgot just now that after the country broke away from the Roba Union, the passports of several island countries dropped sharply. ”
Jogole stopped talking and said: "If there is a problem with the immigration project, you will be deceived. Even if the project is okay, such as Geng Fanjian, even if the hotel investment is real, and he has successfully naturalized in Belle Country five years later, it is still terrifying. ”
Man Man was puzzled: "How terrible? ”
Jo Gaole turned his head and said, "Xiaohua, have you thought of anything?" ”
Hua Zhenxing stood up: "The wine is gone, I'll get you another bottle." ”
Hua Zhenxing brought another bottle of "Grocery Store Edition" Klin Daqu and filled the cup to Jogolle. Jogale asked again, "Got up and walked a few steps, did you understand?" ”
Hua Zhenxing nodded: "I thought of it!" According to what Mr. Dong has just introduced, an agency like Global Advisors provides a full range of services, not only immigration agents, but also legal advisors and financial advisors.
Many people think that they have quietly changed their nationality and have a new identity, but all their circumstances are in the hands of Global Advisors, including their past identity, current status, asset status, financial status, account information, place of residence, etc.
If they are safe, it is better to say, if there is any turmoil, they are the fattest white pigs, and they will be pinched to death. ”
Dong Zegang actually complained: "That's right! If there is nothing to do in the country and the country, once the society is in turmoil, they will bear the brunt. Including a lot of gangsters, they also like to find trouble with this kind of person. ”
Dong Zegang was the last to come, and the first to say goodbye and leave, he really had something to do. The bottle of Kling Daqu that Hua Zhenxing brought had not been drunk yet, and Yogaole was obviously still unsatisfied, so Hua Zhenxing continued to drink with him.
After Dong Zegang left, Man Man said: "I always feel that Lawyer Dong's attitude has changed a little bluntly. ”
Jogole: "Because he is a man under the roof, he can't do it if he doesn't obey." ”
Man Man asked again: "Xiaohua, do you say that Lawyer Dong is willing?" ”
Hua Zhenxing shook his head and said, "I don't know, but no matter what, we have to start with the right behavior first." ”
Manman: "I kind of understand why Uncle Mo didn't let him join the straw shoes in the first place. ”
Hua Zhenxing: "Director of the Non-Sogang Judicial Bureau, deputy head of the legislative group of the People's Committee, his current position is too important, and we are really short of talents." Dong Zegang should still fight for it, and it can be fought for. ”
Yogaole suddenly tilted his head and looked at Hua Zhenxing and said: "Boss Hua, the more I look at you, the more wonderful I feel, sometimes it's just a child, and sometimes it's very mature, like today." ”
Manman replied: "That's because someone teaches it well!" ”
Yo Gaole: "Your Director Dong is actually far from being as smart as he thinks, and he still doesn't know the identity of Boss Hua!" ”
Manman: "Yes, he hasn't seen it yet, in fact, Xiaohua is the one who really has the final say." ”
This is an interesting misunderstanding, what Gao Le means is that Dong Zegang still doesn't know that Hua Zhenxing is actually Feng Zibin.
Of course, Man Man didn't know that Hua Zhenxing was Feng Zibin, but she believed from the beginning that Hua Zhenxing was the most important person in this series of events, and Dong Zegang obviously didn't really realize this.
About ten days later, a bus departed from the southern coast of Filso, through hilly terrain and along the patrol road at the edge of the national forest park, to the southern city of Banda.
