My days as a landlord in Gotham

(two)

Due to the current tax season in the United States, Li Lei, a small financial company, is very deserted, which can be described as empty.

But both Li Lei's secretary, Mrs. Landingham, and his two employees, Robinson and Garcia, came to work obediently and on time.

It's not that Americans love work so much, but that Li Lei's salary and benefits are not bad.

As far as the basic salary is concerned, it is already considered the maximum salary in terms of the education background and ability of the three of them.

In terms of benefits, Li Lei not only provides meal subsidies, transportation subsidies, but also unlimited coffee, snacks, and fruit supply in the tea room; at the same time, the medical insurance purchased by Li Lei for employees is not only for the employees themselves, but also benefits the employees' wives and children; Most importantly, Li Lei also purchased dental insurance for his employees.

Dentistry in the United States is not cheap. Many people think highly of this company because it provides dental insurance, and Li Lei's company is the same.

Of course, Li Lei is not so generous because he is doing charity. In essence, Li Lei is still a capitalist who exploits others.

The United States is a commercial society that encourages consumption.

You keep all your money in the bank or carry a lot of cash with you, then you are either considered "money laundering|money laundering" by the Ministry of Finance

, or it is considered by the Drug Enforcement Administration to be "trafficking|drugs"

of.

On the contrary, if you spend a lot and spend a lot, not only the credit card company will provide you with generous discounts and reward points, but the IRS will also give you a tax refund during the tax filing season.

And Li Lei just wanted to use this method to turn part of his gray income into legal income, so his financial company became a little wonder in Gotham City.

It's just that this strange flower is only known in a small area, so it can't catch the eyes of those big shots.

Compared with the leisure of the employees, Li Lei still has a lot of things to deal with.

After all, those companies with less clean backgrounds have many professional financial problems that need the help of professionals like Li Lei every day.

Li Lei's clients are mainly Asian, and there are also a small number of Russian and Eastern European clients.

So when Li Lei saw an email, he knew he was going to go out.

This e-mail was sent from a temporary mailbox, and the content was also a password. Except for Li Lei and his client who understood it, no one else could interpret it even if they intercepted the e-mail.

More importantly, the outbox uses a temporary mailbox, which will only exist on the Internet for about 10 minutes.

When the time comes, the entire mailbox will disappear from the Internet world without stirring up a single drop.

Li Lei packed his laptop and some necessary documents into his briefcase, and then called Mrs. Landingham that he was going out to work.

And just when Li Lei was about to go out, Ada Wang happened to come down from the second floor, and asked, "You look like you are going out?

If you don't mind, can you take me with you?

I had a good rest last night. Today I plan to learn about the city where the host lives. "

"I'm just going to get a document.

But I just happened to be going to Chinatown, there are many gourmet restaurants there, I think we can spend a good noon. "

Li Lei did not refuse Ada's request, then he turned around and handed Ada the breakfast on the coffee table, "I'm sorry, it seems a bit cold.

But I know that the breakfast at this Starbucks is delicious even if it is cold. "

"I don't care. In my world, having a bite to eat is considered a very happy thing."

Ada took the breakfast and started eating.

"In our world, the entire biological system has been completely destroyed. Except for a few areas that can barely produce some crops, most of the human beings in other areas can only rely on nutrient needles to maintain basic survival.

Even so, nutrient injections, artificial food and water are all rationed.

When I soaked in the bathtub yesterday, I realized what happiness is. "

Seeing Li Lei's surprised expression, Ada smiled and said, "I know you can't imagine, but you don't have to try hard to imagine."

"I'm very sorry!"

For Li Lei, "Resident Evil" is just a video game, but for Ada Wang, this is the world they have to face every day.

Li Lei took Ada to the garage, and then the two got into the Mercedes-Benz AMG.

Ada glanced at it and said, "Your car has been modified.

Although I was always curious, I didn't ask.

But when I saw Mr. Landlord's modified car, I had to ask.

How many people did Mr. Landlord offend?

If not, does your car need to be modified like this?

Although your car is a piece of rubbish in my world, but in this era of peace, unless someone uses rockets or special piercing bullets at close range, there is no way for ordinary pistols or rifles Break through your car. "

Which one of the people living in the last days is not an all-rounder?

What's more, it's an agent like Ida Wang.

"This is Gotham City, a city that doesn't exist in America in your world.

And this Gotham City is the city with the highest crime rate in the United States and even the world, and this city is almost completely controlled by gangsters. "

Li Lei explained, "Whether it is the police, prosecutors, government officials, or businessmen in Gotham City, they all have to rely on the gangsters to survive.

Naturally, accountants and lawyers like me are more or less involved with those dark forces.

In particular, most of the companies I work for have gangster backgrounds.

In addition to helping them with accounting and tax avoidance, part of my job is to help them launder money.

Of course, legally speaking, I didn't know they were laundering money, nor did I know that I was helping them launder money.

Therefore, my actions and income are completely legal.

However, how can you not get your shoes wet when you often stand by the river?

Safety first! "

Ada Wang didn't answer Li Lei's words, but looked out the window.

Of course, Li Lei didn't have the heart to put down the window glass. After all, the place Li Lei was going to was Lower City Island in Gotham City.

Gotham City consists of three large islands and several small islands, and Gotham County surrounds Gotham City from the east, north, and west across the river.

Uptown Island in Gotham City is a residential area, and the law and order is probably moderate.

On the other hand, Midtown Island in Gotham City is a commercial area, and the law and order are quite polarized.

For example, the Diamond District and Fashion District under the jurisdiction of the Coppert family, the Municipal District and the Financial District under the jurisdiction of the city government and the Municipal Police Department are all places with very good law and order in Gotham City; but the Old Town, West Side and Red Hook District It's a very bad place.

As for the Lower City Island in Gotham City, it is completely uninhabited.

The Italian and Irish families representing the established forces in Gotham City, and the Russian, Eastern European, and Asian families representing the new forces in Gotham City are fighting endlessly for their respective territories here.

Among them, Chinawood and Chinaport are the main control areas of Asian families, but Chinawood is mainly the territory of old Chinese, and the economic situation is relatively declining; while China Bay is a mixture of new Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Vietnamese. The local economy is relatively good.

Of course, Li Lei would not set foot in a place like China Bay where the forces are mixed. He would rather stay in China Bay where the income is less.

Li Lei's Chinese background and years of word-of-mouth made Li Lei do well in Tangrenwu. When his car slowly drove into the dilapidated and narrow streets of Tangrenwu, many people would greet Li Lei.

It’s just that most of the people here speak Cantonese, a few people speak dialects such as Hokkien, Shanghai, and Xiang, and there are very few minority who can use Mandarin or Mandarin.

Li Lei parked his car in front of a six-story building called Huamei Building. Although the building was a bit dilapidated, it was still clean.

Although the decoration is a bit flashy, it looks extraordinarily lively in this somewhat run-down area.

After Li Lei and Ada Wang got off the car, a skinny man guarding the gate said with a smile: "Isn't this Brother Li?

Are you coming to see us Brother Leopard today?

Brother Leopard is talking about you these days. ——Yo, this beautiful girl is Mrs. Li?

Brother Li is really blessed! "

"Just your sweet mouth!"

Li Lei took out a red envelope and handed it to the skinny man, then led Ada Wang Chao to the top floor.

The old elevator made a creaking sound, as if people would be thrown out of the elevator at any moment.

On the sixth floor, the decoration here is a bit like an American office building.

Li Lei walked straight to the east, and Ada Wang followed silently.

When walking to a company named "Huamei International Trading Co., Ltd."

Li Lei stopped in front of the signboard and knocked on the door.

Not long after, someone opened the door.

When he saw that it was Li Lei, the man opened the door, and Li Lei and Ada Wang walked in.

"I'll go in and talk to their boss about something, you wait for me outside."

Ada Wang nodded in understanding, while Li Lei walked towards another door.

"Mr. Li is indeed on time!"

In another office, a man of Chinese descent with Kong Wu stood up to greet Li Lei.

"Huamei International has always been a high-quality customer of our company, and we have cooperated for so many years. Naturally, we will always put your company as the first priority."

Li Lei reached out his hand to shake hands with this Chinese man named Brother Bao, and after a short exchange of pleasantries, he sat down.

Although both Li Lei and Bao Ge are of Chinese descent, both of them are the second or even third generation Chinese born in the United States, and their living habits are no different from those of Americans.

Since it's about business, let's cut to the chase and talk about business directly.

Brother Leopard handed the latest account books to Li Lei. After Li Lei checked it, he said, "There is no problem with these account books. We will provide you with the account books that meet the US accounting standards as soon as possible; at the same time, we will also ensure that you file tax returns next year." enjoy certain tax rebate benefits.

It's just Mr. Fang, what's going on with your account book?

You know, our contract keeps me out of certain businesses.

Although I don't know what kind of business these businesses are, but I feel that it doesn't seem so clean.

Mr. Fang, you have to remember that I am not your lawyer, and I have no obligation or right to keep this secret for you.

Therefore, please take this account book back, and I will treat it as if you accidentally got in it. "

Li Lei returned one of the account books to Fang Bao, and kept the other account books.

Brother Bao smiled awkwardly, "Yeah, there are a few newcomers on my side, I guess they don't know the rules."

"Rules, it's better to know clearly."

Li Lei said meaningfully, "Okay, I won't disturb Brother Bao and continue to do business.

If there is no problem, I will go back here.

After Brother Bao gave me the advance payment, we began to provide services for Brother Bao.

The final payment can be paid after receiving our account books and service bills. I wish us a happy cooperation! "

"Happy cooperation!"

Fang Bao also got up and shook hands with Li Lei to say goodbye.

After Li Lei came out of the room, he led Ada Dynasty downstairs.

Li Lei's face was a bit ugly, and Ada also showed a worried expression.

But the two knew that this was not a place to talk, so they both kept silent.
