Chapter 220 I need an identity!
People in later generations know that there are four major accounting firms on this planet, PricewaterhouseCoopers, KPMG, Deloitte and Ernst & Young.
Each of these four major accounting firms is a well-deserved behemoth in the industry, with an annual turnover of more than 200 billion U.S. dollars, and a giant accounting firm that employs as many as 10 people around the world.
The Ernst Whitney Accounting Company that Yang Jing came to today will merge with Arthur Young Accounting Company, which ranks sixth among the eight accounting firms, in 1989 ten years later, and eventually become the The famous ERNST&YOUNG, also known as Ernst & Young.
But in 1979, Ernst Whitney Accounting Company, headquartered in Cleveland, USA, was far less famous than Ernst & Young in the future.However, in this era, Ernst Whitney Accounting Company, one of the top eight accounting firms in the world, still has many branches in major cities around the world.
As a global tax haven that emerged in the 70s, George Town, the capital of the Cayman Islands, also attracted many accounting companies to establish branches here early.After all, even in the 70s, banks, insurance companies, trust companies and other financial institutions from Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States and Switzerland, including Citibank, successively settled in Cayman.Even some companies, banks, trusts and other institutions originally established in the Bahamas moved to the Cayman Islands to join in the fun.
据调查，在70年代，全世界最大的25家银行都在开曼设有子公司或分支机构。岛内的金融业、信托业总资产已超过2500亿美元，占欧洲美元交易总额的7%。每年平均约有4300家公司在此注册成立。全球700多家银行在开曼群岛都有分支机构。
How could such an emerging financial center lack those accounting firms?
Yang Jing came here today because he was going to find Ernst Whitney Accounting Company to do things for him.
Yang Jing's attire is incompatible with the environment here. This is the Georgetown branch of the famous Ernst Whitney Accounting Company. The people who come and go are all in suits and shoes. Only Yang Jing, whose appearance has changed drastically, is wearing Such an extremely casual outfit walked in.
But fortunately, as a world-renowned accounting company, the receptionist at the front desk did not show the legendary clothing discrimination. Instead, she was stunned for a moment, and then greeted Yang Jing warmly with a smile on her face.
Those who can work as receptionists in this kind of company are not ordinary people, their eyes have been trained to be extremely sharp.
Although the man in his thirties in front of him was dressed fancy, the lockbox he held in his hand was quite a rare box.People who can come here with such a box must not treat others with their appearance.
Most importantly, this man's smile is so charming, and he is so handsome.
This is not nonsense!Pierce Brosnan, who just made his debut on TV three years later, is definitely a handsome guy. He didn't start playing the fifth "James Bond" until 1995. He was recognized by fans as "the most handsome 007 in history. agent".
At this time, although the 27-year-old Pierce Brosnan hadn't starred in his first TV series yet, Yang Jing, who adjusted his appearance according to his appearance, had a charm that ordinary receptionists could not resist.
"Hello, sir, may I help you?" The receptionist showed excellent professionalism. Of course, Yang Jing could clearly see the look in the receptionist's eyes, "I want date with you" look.
"Hello, I want to find the person in charge here." Yang Jing replied with a smile, which made the receptionist's heart jump wildly.
"Excuse me, do you have an appointment with Mr. Al?"
"Appointment?" Yang Jing was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, "No, I haven't made an appointment with anyone, but I have a business of 200 million US dollars just for remuneration, and I need someone who can be responsible Talk to me yourself."
As soon as these words came out, the reception lady on the opposite side was stunned for a moment, with a look of disbelief in her eyes.
This year is not 38, 2017 years later, but now it is 1979!
Even in 2017, $200 million was a lot of money, but in 1979, it was a huge number.
At this time, the United States, the most developed country in the world, has a per capita annual income of only US$200 to US$200 million, which is equivalent to what an American worker can earn for [-] years without eating or drinking.
Well, well, it seems that comparing the salary of this kind of ordinary worker with the 200 million US dollars is not obvious, so let's compare it with the sports star, shall we?
At this time in 1979, the players with the highest annual salaries in the NBA were super center "Skyhook" Kareem of the Los Angeles Lakers and "Dr. J" Julius Irving of the Philadelphia 76ers. $65/year before taxes!
200 million US dollars, equivalent to three years of salary for each of them!
One can imagine how powerful this $200 million is now.
And what Yang Jing said just now is very clear, this is not a business worth 200 million US dollars, but a business worth 200 million US dollars just for the remuneration!
$200 million reward!Now even if you look at the entire United States, it is rare.
Although those accountants are all worth a lot of money, and they deal with businesses worth tens of millions, hundreds of millions, or even billions of dollars, it is really extremely rare for a single transaction to reach 200 million dollars. .
The lady at the front desk is also very clear, let alone a single accountant, even if it is the Georgetown branch of Ernst Whitney Accounting Company, hundreds of accountants are busy for a year, and the annual profit is only more than 1000 million. Dollar.
And this person in his 30s is paid 200 million US dollars per mouth, how big a deal is this?
How could such a person in beach shorts and a big T-shirt provide such a large business order to the company?
Of course, Yang Jing also saw the doubt in the eyes of the receptionist at the front desk, so he smiled, and brought the combination box in front of the receptionist, then dialed a few passwords on the combination box, and then lightly pressed the unlock button, accompanied by a sound With a crisp "click", the extremely delicate black lockbox was just opened.
The lady at the front desk looked into the open lockbox, and immediately involuntarily sucked in a breath of cold air.
In this lockbox is a box full of green "Franklins" ([-]-dollar bills in US dollars) neatly stacked.
It's just that the receptionist at the front desk just glanced at it, and the coveted banknote was locked again.
"SO, now beautiful lady, can you introduce me to the person in charge here?"
The lady at the front desk nodded in a panic, grabbed the phone on the table and made a call.
After getting on the phone over there, the receptionist at the front desk stammered and said: "Mr. Al, there is a gentleman here at the front desk. This gentleman wants to meet with you. He, he said he has a good fortune." There is a business of 200 million US dollars in remuneration and I want to talk to you."
Although there is still a table away from the front desk lady, Yang Jing clearly heard an anxious shout from the phone receiver after a good phone call: "Bring that gentleman up right away, damn it!" Yes, forget it, tell that gentleman to wait a moment, and I will go down to meet him right now."
Yang Jing didn't even have to wait for a minute before seeing a white man about 1 years old running down the stairs quickly and walking towards this side.
The lady at the front desk called "Mr. Al" respectfully, and Yang Jing knew that this bald white man in his fifties should be the top person in charge of the Georgetown branch of Ernst Whitney accounting firm. .
Sure enough, although the man was a little out of breath, he still showed a respectful smile on his face, stretched out his hands to hold Yang Jing's hand and shook it, and then said: "Hi sir, I am from here." The highest person in charge, Mike Aller, do you need my help?"
Yang Jing nodded and said, "Mr. Ale, can we find a secluded room for us to have a good talk?"
"OK, please follow me."
On the third floor of this office building, Yang Jing followed Mr. Mike Aller to his general manager's office.
After entering the room and settling down, Mike Aller called the secretary to bring over two steaming cups of coffee, then he closed the door and pulled down the blinds at the same time.
"OK, sir, now we can talk quietly about the deal you mentioned just now. But I don't know what your name is, sir?" Mike Aller said very gracefully.
Yang Jing smiled without saying a word, and directly opened the lockbox in his hand, and the 200 million US dollars appeared in front of Mike Aller again.
"Mr. Al, you can just call me Smith. You can verify the $200 million first. If you think it's okay, we can talk about the next topic."
Mike Aller's breathing became a little short.Although he handles hundreds of millions of funds every year, most of them are some numbers on the books, cash, and it is rare for him to touch 200 million at once.
The most important thing is, if he can take over the business from this handsome gentleman, all the money will become his reward!
This is 200 million US dollars!Although I am a senior accountant and also serve as the general manager of the Georgetown branch, after a busy year, my annual salary is only 20.If the remuneration of 200 million US dollars can be won, it can be equivalent to his total salary for ten years.
As a senior accountant, he didn't need a banknote detector to verify the authenticity of the money. He only needed to touch it with his hand to know that the money was all genuine.
Mike Aller closed the box, took a deep breath and asked, "Mr. Smith, what can I do for you?"
Yang Jing nodded slightly, the guy in front of him was quite calm, he was quite satisfied.
"Mr. Al, if you want to earn the 200 million dollars, you need to do several things for me. But I promise, with your current status and ability, these things are nothing to you Difficult."
Mike Aller nodded, motioning for Yang Jing to continue.
"First of all, I need a legal status in the Cayman Islands. I don't care how you get it. I need to get a legal citizenship of the Cayman Islands within three days. As for my name, you can write whatever you want. This matter can be used as a test for me. If you can complete this task within three days, we can continue our cooperation. Oh, of course, I will not let you work in vain, if you If you can complete this task, I will pay you 20 U.S. dollars."
When Mike Aller heard this, his body, which was a little tense just now, immediately relaxed.
It has not been a few years since the Cayman Islands started to develop the financial industry. Unlike later generations, there are a large number of foreign immigrants. At the time, it was called 106 nationalities.
Now the Cayman Islands is full of less than 4 people. It is not difficult for people like Mike Aller to get a legal identity certificate.
"Mr. Smith, since you are willing to pay me 20 U.S. dollars just to let me get you a legal status, why don't you just do investment immigration? You know that the Cayman Islands only needs to invest [-] U.S. dollars to be enough." A lawful citizenship can be obtained."
Yang Jing smiled and said, "I don't want to reveal my identity, so, do you understand what you should do?"
Hearing what Yang Jing said, Mike Aller was startled.As a senior accountant, he could also become the top person in charge of the George Town branch of Ernst Whitney Accounting Company. He naturally knew that many rich people had some eccentricities that made people helpless.However, this kind of eccentricity looks quite vulgar in the eyes of outsiders, but these rich people are not tired of it.
Of course, there are also some rich people who will do some incredible things in order to avoid taxes.
For example, Mr. Smith in front of him, Mike Aller basically knew what this rich man thought as soon as he heard his request.
He didn't want to reveal his identity, and offered such a high salary. These obviously unreasonable demands were obviously preparing for what this rich man was going to do in the future.Obviously, this rich man came to a tax haven like the Cayman Islands for only one purpose, and that was to find a way to avoid high taxes.
If it weren't for this, this guy wouldn't have made such an incomprehensible move.
"Well, as you wish, I will apply for a sufficiently safe identity certificate for you tomorrow." Mike Alle has seen this situation a lot, so he naturally thinks what to do.
Yang Jing nodded in satisfaction and said, "Remember, it's best to have an identity certificate that only exists on paper. I don't want others to know my whereabouts."
"As you wish, Mr. Smith. I think if you have time tomorrow morning, you can come to me, and I promise you will have a legal Cayman Islands citizenship by then."
PS: Bow down and thank you for the 100 rewards of "Frozen Octave"!
