The Memoirs of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 49 Financial Management
After Leon sent the two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents away, his personal lawyer, Jimmy McGill, called him.

"Hey Jimmy, what's up?"

"Hello, Mr. Leon." Jimmy sounded enthusiastic and lively on the other end of the phone, "This hurricane is really bad, and the phone line on my side has just been repaired."

"If you have anything to say, I'm a little busy right now." Li Ang glanced at his mouth noncommittally, and clamped his phone with his shoulder. He is now standing at a free food distribution booth erected by a non-profit organization, which is dedicated to distributing quick fixes to victims of disasters. Canned food and mineral water.

"Okay," Jimmy coughed, and said, "Do you still remember the Williams Manor? The real estate agent from the intermediary company called me just now, saying that the repair work of the manor had encountered a little obstacle."

"Because of the hurricane?" Li Ang opened the food box, took out all the instant food cans inside and pressed them on the table, and handed them to the victims who had been waiting in line for a long time with a smile on his face, "Okay, tell me the time, the construction team How long will it take to complete the repair work?"

"When the impact of this hurricane is completely over, it will take at least three months." Jimmy said quickly: "You also know that Gotham's cross-sea bridge is blocked, and the restoration project is very huge. The stone structure of the manor The broken pieces need to be repaired, the rubble pile needs to be removed, the lawn needs to be re-laid, and the rotten wood boards need to be replaced, and the pawned furniture needs to go to an antique store to buy some replacements. Three months is already a very short period.”

Li Ang interrupted the other party, lowered his voice and said succinctly: "If I take out another 50 yuan separately, can the restoration project be brought forward?"

Jimmy was choked, and after a pause, he pretended to be relaxed and said: "Wow, boss, you are really rich, but I don't think it will cost so much to let the construction team start working at full speed, I think we should be able to bargain more .”

"Then it's up to you to clear it up," Li Ang said bluntly: "Listen, Jimmy, the reason I'm giving you a weekly salary of [-] dollars is to hope that there will be fewer things that I need to deal with personally, and you can do it well." right?"

Jimmy's breath was stagnant, he held the phone tightly, and said in a deep voice: "I promise to live up to your expectations, Mr. Leon."

"That would be the best," Li Ang said hello to his companion who was doing public service together, and said to Jimmy after walking into a dark corner: "By the way, Jimmy, I just happen to have such a spare cash on hand, to be precise It's a lot of dirty money, and you have a lot of connections, can you introduce me to a reliable financial advisor?"

"Big money." Jimmy's breath was a little short, and he seemed to see the green Franklin banknotes flying in the sky. "You mean IFA?"

The so-called IFA stands for Independent-Financial-Advisor, that is, an independent financial planner, referring to those financial advisers who are independent from financial management companies and specialize in serving public investors or high-net-worth investors.

Of course, Li Ang needs to "clean" the money stolen from the Sapa family, so what he is looking for is a financial consultant who specializes in serving high-net-worth investors, that is, a private financial planner.

"That's right, it's not good to just sit and eat." Li Ang asked, "Do you know anyone in the field?"

"...Yes, boss." Jimmy whispered: "I have a good friend who happens to be a private financial advisor with rich experience, good communication with clients, and extensive contacts, but there are some problems with his resume."

Li Ang raised his eyebrows, "For example."

"He caused some legal troubles for some clients. Seven or eight clients either lost their fortunes, went bankrupt or jumped off the roof, and the reputation of the company he belonged to was tarnished, and he himself was thrown into prison for several years. Year,
After he was released, the original source of customers had already turned to other working financial planners, and all wealth management institutions closed their doors to him, and even chased him down. "

Li Ang concluded: "That is to say, you are running into a wall and have nowhere to go. As long as there is a straw to save your life, he will hold on to it?"

Jimmy smiled wryly, thinking of himself who was impoverished and desolate some time ago, and said in a low voice: "You can say that too."

"It sounds very suitable for my needs. Do you think he is reliable?"

Jimmy hesitated for a moment, and then said tactfully: "I can only say that this Robert Cullen is the most adventurous, unrestrained, eclectic, bold and avant-garde financial manager who knows how to make money and survive. division."

This sentence can also be understood as the old rivers and lakes where oil and salt do not enter, hob meat.

"Very good, I am willing to hire this Mr. Karen, can you contact me, when will you come out for dinner?"

Jimmy smiled and said: "Actually, Robert is staying at my house temporarily, and he can go out at any time - but I'm afraid I have to buy him a suit that can be worn first. This poor wife is running away with other men." When they divorced, the property was divided, and his wife took half of his life savings, plus a house and two cars by virtue of her female identity, and in the end Robert had nothing left except the visitation rights of his seven-year-old daughter and the mortgage on the house."

Li Ang has referred to many American legal trial cases on the Internet, and naturally knows that if a middle-aged middle-aged man in the United States finds out that his wife is cheating, or even catches her in bed, he will still have a disadvantage in the divorce lawsuit.
Because women give up the right to work in order to take care of the family, the wife is equivalent to a weak person, and the rights of the husband as a high-income earner will be very tendentiously ignored, and he will be deprived of most of his family property.

If you are unlucky and even need to bear the wife’s alimony and child support, if the wife knows some laws, is a little shrewd, and lives with the cheating partner, the two do not constitute a cohabitation relationship in the legal sense, then the husband will work hard to earn money. The house that comes here will be divided among the wives, and the husband himself has to bear the high mortgage. After the mortgage is paid off, the wife's cheating partner will live in the house openly and become the head of the family.

For middle-class men in European and American countries, the most miserable and saddest thing in the world is that the boy lives in his house, his wife sleeps with him, and his sons and daughters call him daddy. A large number of feminists applauded this tragic image, saying that this is the perfect protection of women's rights in the new century.

Li Ang was even more satisfied when he heard Jimmy's explanation. What he needed was this kind of money laundering expert with a desperate life and a miserable life. He immediately agreed with Jimmy on a dinner time, waiting to meet with his reserve personal financial advisor.
