Chapter 372 Underground Trade

As the largest shareholder of the Fringe Bank, Banjie has advantages that no one else has, especially on the turf of the Fringe Planet and the Independence Army.

The Independence Army is the so-called Chen Yong rebels. Everyone has dealt with many things on the black market on the marginal planets, and it is not appropriate to call the rebels. So, later I gave them a name that doesn't sound very unpleasant, the Independence Army. The Independence Army is not resistant to this name. By default, it is used like this, and everyone calls it this way.

The daughter of Chen Yong, the largest leader of the Independence Army, is also the most reputable bank on the black market of the Fringe Planet. It is too easy to enter the territory of the Independence Army. Moreover, although the Fringe Bank itself is registered on the Fringe Planet, it is originally the territory of the Federation, so it is naturally easy to enter the Federation.

Zhao Li was not surprised at all when he heard the news that the class sister said, but instead felt it was natural. If the class sister's business methods and the relationship she has with so many relationships, that would be strange.

Now the class sister says that someone is investigating the marginal bank, and that must be what the class sister does in other parts of the federal territory after the class sister expands its industry. There is no one who dares to be so blatant on the marginal planet and the territory of the Independence Army, right?

"What are they investigating? Who is it?" Zhao Li has long regarded Ban Yunchan as his woman, so he will naturally not let any mistakes in her industry, so he will definitely ask these questions clearly.

"There are many people, including governments, competitors from other banks, as well as some commercial institutions and some business intelligence organizations." Ban Yunchan didn't care much about these people. Although they were opening banks, they were also doing business. Since it was doing business, it was very normal for these people to investigate.

"Is there any trouble with these?" Although Zhao Li does not have the business talent as high as his classmate, he also knows that there are a lot of things in it. These investigations are too normal.

"There is no problem with these, it's normal." The classmate smiled. But these words were not enough to let her tell Zhao Li: "There are other people who are troubled. There are two groups of people who don't know the way, and one of them is suspected to be the military."

"Military?" Sure enough, Zhao Li frowned as soon as he heard this: "What is the military investigating a commercial bank for? There is also a person who doesn't know which force?"

"Just speculation, my people cannot judge their origins, and these people are well organized. They once wanted to catch a living person and asked, but there was no chance at all." Ban Yunchan also guessed and could not be sure, so she discussed with Zhao Li. Now that Zhao Li has a special identity, it is better to ask for his opinions on some things.

"Just investigating?" Zhao Li thought for a while, but did not express his opinion directly. It is very simple to know if the military is investigating. Zhao Li just needs to say hello to the Ministry of Military Information and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but Zhao Li still wants to know if these people have any other intentions.

"At present, it's just an investigation, no further action." Ban Yunchan nodded, but still warned Zhao Li: "However, I guess some people have begun to suspect that the bank's funding source is illegal and want to open a breakthrough from this."

Banjie is a wise person. Without great confidence, she would never make such a guess about Zhao Li. Just as he suspected that one of the two groups of people was from the military. Zhao Li was very familiar with Banjie's personality and knew that she would not make conclusions easily. After listening to her guess, her face became solemn.

"Is there any problem with the source of funds?" Zhao Li couldn't help but frown. It was because Zhao Li couldn't think of a reason why the classmate would leave such a flaw for others.

"There is no problem here. Anyway, when we registered, there was only a mere 5 billion yuan in registered capital, and the profit of energy additives was enough." Ban Yunchan did not leave any other problems. Speaking of money laundering, if Ban Yunchan recognized the second place, no one would dare to recognize the first place. Most of the funds of a HSBC bank could be easily hidden by him, and this is just a few billion, which is even more difficult.

"That's good." Zhao Li also relaxed. As long as there was no problem in this regard, there would be no more things. If the other party just wanted to use commercial means, then Zhao Li would not care.

"The Fringe Planet is so eye-catching now." Ban Yunchan looked at Zhao Li's relaxed face and gently reminded him.

"I know, but there is no way." Zhao Li also sighed. If it weren't for the stolen tens of thousands of tons of military supplies last time, he wouldn't want to push the edge planet to such an obsessive position.

For the government, an underground trade market of such a large scale that can do business with the independent army and can swallow a large amount of stolen goods, and it is a legal market, which is by no means what they are willing to see. However, they cannot find any problem on the surface, after all, it is reasonable and legal. Whoever makes the marginal planet have independent laws is a historical problem, and they cannot solve it.

However, for those chaebols who are in urgent need of money laundering and criminals who are eager to sell stolen goods, this is simply paradise. As long as the goods arrive here, they are legal private property. A large amount of funds, if they are transferred here, they are legal personal assets. Although the service fees are expensive, they are simply not worth mentioning with the risks of other methods.

Those who can go to the edge planet to launder money or sell stolen money will basically not care about the government's investigation on the edge planet's must-pass path. The universe is too big to guarantee that a planet can be completely blocked, especially a prosperous planet with almost tens of thousands of large transport ships taking off and landing every day.

As for those pirates who sell stolen goods on a large scale, they are not afraid of the so-called anti-smuggling ships. Anyway, as long as they enter the airspace of the marginal planet, there will naturally be no trouble, and everything is automatically legal. The laws of the marginal planet stipulate that the garrison must not enter the marginal planet more than a certain number, which has become the most stable protective umbrella.

Compared with those invisible benefits, these obvious benefits are simply nothing. Not to mention, just an unobstructed trade channel with the Independent Army can turn the marginal planet into a popular commodity that ambitious people are eager to control.

On the planets controlled by the Independent Army, each has some rare specialties. Like the special metals controlled by the Federal Military, some of which are the key materials most needed by the control center of advanced warships. The Federal Military strictly controls the export of special metals to the Independent Army. Similarly, the Independent Army also firmly controls those key materials without any worries.

This stalemate of holding each other's weaknesses is often a key to maintaining peace agreements. Coincidentally, this accident in the material management system allowed the Independent Army to obtain a large number of urgently needed military supplies, and its strength increased significantly.

In order to maintain the balance of power between the two sides, it has become an urgent task to obtain enough control materials from the independent army. Zhao Li is now a senior figure in the military, so he is very clear about the inside story.

Under the control of the Independent Army, there are also people who take risks. Similarly, they also need a channel to sell stolen goods. The edge planet has become their first choice black market. This place is not only a huge market, but also safe and reliable. It has outstanding credibility whether in the Federation or in the Independent Army. Things that cannot be obtained or digested from formal channels can be achieved safely and legally from here.

Some people have already begun to sell the specialties of the planet under the control of the independent army on the edge planet, which is definitely good news for the military. Especially for the group of Commander Li Liqing, it is even more of a great joy. The border planet is firmly controlled by Zhao Li, and the most reputable bank on the border planet is almost opened by Zhao Li's family. What kind of supplies do you want? Moreover, the closest to the border planet is General Lucas's journey military region, all of which are in Commander Li Liqing's. Even if others envy it, they have no choice.

Naturally, the special status of the marginal planet also led to the increasingly stable position of Zhao Li and General Lucas, and it also brought many people's jealousy. Although there was no way to win over Zhao Li and Lucas at this time, it was not difficult to try to extend their power into the marginal planet.

Legal commercial means have never been banned on the edge planet, so it is very normal for commercial institutions to enter. However, huge benefits have attracted the coveting of industries related to the financial industry, such as other banks. Ban Yunchan has guessed some of the clues recently being investigated by the edge banks, and specially reminded Zhao Li.

"Be careful, don't be too arrogant recently, and send more people to protect yourself." Zhao Li comforted Ban Yunchan and hung up the communication. Although he knew that Ban Yunchan was also a master who was no less than himself, he had never seen Ban Yunchan take action, so Zhao Li subconsciously asked Ban Yunchan to bring more guards to protect himself.

To the class sister, Zhao Li no longer expressed his emotions with gratitude. Last time his parents were almost threatened by the lieutenant general of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was he who saw Ban Yunchan’s original guard in the camera that he took the initiative to attack with confidence. Afterwards, Zhao Li realized that the class sister had hired a super high-level underground mercenary of 30 people, hiding near Zhao Li’s house for 24 hours to protect Zhao Li’s parents.

These people approached Zhao Li's parents through various means, and several even pretended to be husband and wife and became their neighbors. This underground mercenary group was all masters of the eighth-level high-level. They did not serve in the army and were all hired by classmates.

When Zhao Li asked how such a master was found by the classmate, the classmate smiled at Zhao Li for a while before saying something that made Zhao Li feel ashamed.

"Or in your eyes, the most invincible masters like the principal and the old warden are superb masters. But in my eyes, it is different. The most powerful one is not a master, and money!" The class sister emphasized the word "money" exaggeratedly.

"Money?" Zhao Li laughed out loud when he heard this.

"That's right, money! Hundreds of millions of dollars." The classmate explained with a smile: "As long as you have enough money, you can crush a top expert to death with money. Needless to say, hire a bunch of experts."

No matter how high a person's ability is, he will do nothing in space. Zhao Li is very clear about this. He also has a limited recognition of the statement made by the class sister. At least the class sister has found a group of experts to protect her family.

With feelings and this relationship, Zhao Li was more concerned about the matter of class sister. After talking to class sister, Zhao Li directly contacted General Philip of the Military Intelligence Department and asked whether the military had investigated the marginal bank.

"The Ministry of Military Intelligence has not formally investigated." General Philip and Zhao Li were not polite. After recalling the relevant task list for inspection, they directly replied to Zhao Li: "If anyone else investigates, you can ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

After thanking General Philip, Zhao Li quickly contacted the new Minister of the Interior. Everyone was in the same faction. Although they were not very familiar, they were both senior officials. Both sides attached great importance to this private friendship. Moreover, Zhao Li also had a special training base. The new Minister of the Ministry of the Interior checked it happily and told Zhao Li that the Ministry of the Interior has not issued such formal tasks recently, and no one has carried out them, and there is even no sign of searching relevant content in the military system.

With such a result, Zhao Li immediately realized that this was not an investigation by the military intelligence agencies. After all, everyone from the Military Intelligence Department and the Ministry of Internal Affairs knows the relationship between the Edge Bank of the Fringe Planet and himself, and it is impossible to conduct such an investigation without a word. The biggest possibility is the private behavior of a military region's own intelligence department.

The classmate herself grew up in the military system. Her feeling was not wrong. There must be military personnel involved, and it could only be the intervention of the federal military. Moreover, it is unlikely that it was the same as Commander Li Liqing. This kind of fighting in the nest is a taboo, and people will know that in the future, they will definitely be severely punished or even abandoned by the organization.

As for another group of unidentified people, Zhao Li vaguely felt that it might be related to the mysterious organization he had been following. After all, if that organization wants to operate properly, it must require a large amount of funds to support it. Fringe Planets and Fringe Banks, which are reasonable and legal, can obtain a large amount of funds, will never be able to attract their covetousness.

For a moment, Zhao Li suddenly felt a little headache. This troubles came one by one, making people overwhelmed. If this continues, it seems that he can only deal with these troubles all day long. How can he still have time to concentrate on practicing?
