Chapter 506 Zhao Tianheng's Source of Income
If Yi Jun hadn't found a way to make Zhang Guangyu surrender and bite him back, Zhao Tianyuan would not have escaped the reselling of guns. Similarly, if Yi Jun hadn't found a way to make Xu Shichang's four dog legs cause big problems, it would be difficult to bring Xu Shichang down, which in turn proves that Zhao Tianyuan was framed.
So after seeing Yi Jun, Zhao Tianyuan immediately expressed great friendship. The current friendship is from the heart. Thousands of words, only one sentence was written in one sentence - "Yi Jun, you are the true friend of our Zhao family!"
Yi Jun did not take too much credit, but just waved his hand with a smile. In fact, the matter of the Zhao family had nothing to do with him, and he was not worried. It was just because of Qingqing that he had to extend his hand to help and try to rescue Qingqing's biological father. As for helping Zhao Tianyuan, it was only a step to rescue Zhao Tianheng. Because if something happened to Zhao Tianyuan here and the entire Zhao family fell into a greater crisis, then the Zhao family's ability to rescue Zhao Tianheng would inevitably be further frustrated.
However, since Zhao Tianyuan and Zhao Tianyong brothers regarded Yi Jun as their real friends, they revealed more information. Zhao Tianyong is still active in the capital, and now the only ones who reveal this information with Yi Jun are Zhao Tianyuan, Zhao Pusheng, and Qingqing, the new head of the family, are also present.
Even Zhao Ziyu was not on the scene, because after Zhao Tianyuan came out, the Zhao family was relatively stable, so he asked Zhao Ziyu to return to the army quickly. This is another kind of protection for Zhao Ziyu, trying not to allow him to participate in too many things in the family and avoid more risks.
"Yi Jun, you are not an outsider now, and we are also going to tell you more things." Zhao Tianyuan said, "Of course, I also want to listen to your opinions and ask you to help the staff. After all, from the fact that you know about the 'pressure relief chamber' and 'hulao', you know that you were not simple before - although you, Sheng Bo and I, don't want to inquire about your past events."
Through several consecutive incidents, Zhao Tianyuan and Zhao Pusheng realized Yi Jun's magic sword-like technique. They did not follow the routine at all, but they were all in a miraculous way. Each knife seemed to be light, but it also cut the opponent into nothing. When Zhao Tianheng's life was worrying, it was a huge waste to have a top strategist like Yi Jun without using it.
If Yi Jun knew more information and could propose better and closer solutions, he might save his elder brother Zhao Tianheng. Because Zhao Tianyong came from the capital, saying that the current situation was very serious, the Zhao family's hand could not reach within the Ministry of State Security, let alone contact with the mysterious "pressure relief chamber".
Yi Jun didn't think he was involved in the internal affairs of the Zhao family, but Qingqing interrupted: "Brother, you can also come up with ideas to see if you can rescue my dad as soon as possible."
Since it was Qingqing's small request, Yi Jun no longer refused. Moreover, before coming, an unexpected person contacted Yi Jun and asked Yi Jun to help the Zhao family! Faced with this person's request, Yi Jun was embarrassed to let himself be out of the matter.
However, with Zhao Tianyong and Zhao Pusheng's narrative, Yi Jun knew that the matter was serious than he thought, and the Zhao family - to be precise, Zhao Tianheng - had a deeper and more extraordinary standard in many matters than he expected.
What surprised Yi Jun the most was the main source of income for the Zhao Group. The so-called foreign business is basically a cover. In fact, the Zhao Group's most profitable place comes from two aspects -
The first is "smuggling"! The reason why Zhao Tianheng was able to rise rapidly back then was through smuggling business. At that time, the country's door had just opened, and the profits of smuggled goods were astonishing. Especially some goods smuggled from the United States were several times more profitable in one turn.
At that time, Zhao Tianheng traveled between China and the United States. At first glance, he looked like a foreign trade business, but in fact the largest batch of goods were shameless. But there is no doubt that this allowed him to quickly seize the first pot of gold and establish the original prototype of the Zhao Group.
It was also at that time that Zhao Tianheng met Tang Long, who was pretending to die in the boxing ring in the United States, which is now Chen Hutu. The two gradually established a subsequent life-and-death relationship. Because Chen Hutu was in a very poor state, seriously injured, and even chased by the enemy, Zhao Tianheng saved him and sent him back to the country. Later, Zhao Tianheng introduced Chen Hutu to the old man of the Zhao family and protected the life of the old man of the Zhao family. This also played a huge role in promoting Zhao Tianheng's return to the Zhao family in disguise. These are old news and secret news, and there is no much to do with the rescue of Zhao Tianheng now.
Subsequently, Zhao Tianheng's smuggling business has not let go. Although with the deepening of international trade, the profits of smuggled goods are no longer as huge as before, it cannot stop Zhao Tianheng's smuggling goods from becoming higher and higher, more and more numerous, and more value! Until now, "smuggling" is still one of the largest economic pillars of the Zhao Group.
The second important source of wealth for the Zhao Group is "money laundering"!
Compared with smuggling, money laundering is also a very dangerous and dark business. Over the years, Zhao Tianheng's Zhao Group has helped many big corruption victims, turning the money they have in their hands into clean money or overseas deposits. His method is extremely skillful, otherwise he would not have quietly transferred 12.3 billion yuan of huge funds, and even the powerful Ministry of State Security could not find out the final direction.
With the money laundering business, Zhao Tianheng charges "benefit fees" of varying proportions. For example, a corrupt official embezzled 50 million yuan, and it may cause big problems at any time. Want to whitewash? No problem, I will help you. But after whitewashing or becoming an overseas deposit, I will charge 10 million yuan of benefits and collect you five million yuan for face. For those corrupt officials, although they have lost a lot at once, they have been restless since then. Moreover, they are easy to get the money themselves, and it is not too distressing to spend it. They only want peace.
In addition, Zhao Tianheng is the eldest son of the general and is easily trusted by corrupt officials. For example, a mayor is corrupt and when he hears that the eldest son of the old general has a way to help him, he will certainly believe it. After all, Zhao Tianheng's identity and the power of the Zhao family are clearly here. Therefore, Zhao Tianheng's money laundering business is also very popular in the darkness of the officialdom, which has also brought huge benefits to the Zhao Group.
Smuggling and money laundering are the business of the Zhao Group. Note that it is the Zhao Group, not the entire Zhao Tianheng. If you want to talk about Zhao Tianheng’s way of making money, there is a third one, which is naturally the terrifying gold-selling cave of Xinghe Club. However, Xinghe Club is outside the Zhao Group.
Smuggling, money laundering, and gang-related are the three major sources of power for Zhao Tianheng to rise and expand. Every business is powerfully explosive, but it also has huge risks, because interests and risks are always proportional.
