Chapter 457: Acquiring the Laboratory The game of sniping casino money began as scheduled.
Xu Cheng was playing cards with the four mafia family leaders while the minions below went to gamble, following Xu Cheng’s commands.
After making a killing of 160 million dollars in the casino below just before noon, Saar ordered a hearty meal for them. The five of them ate, and the four family leaders repeatedly toasted Xu Cheng.
After eating, Saar took out a card and said, “This money is already clean. Here’s the 60% of your share of the 160 million, which comes to a total of 96 million.”
Xu Cheng nodded and Lin Dong came up and picked up the card.
These guys were really down-to-earth, they already saved Xu Cheng the trouble of having to launder the money and directly gave him the clean money out of their own pocket first. If the forty gang members directly gave him the money they won for him to use, although it’s technically still legal, it would still be easy for the FBI to trace the money and find out that the money lost by the casino all went to his pocket. This wasn’t the trouble Xu Cheng wanted, so the four mafia families already went ahead and took care of it.
Now, Xu Cheng could use the money on this card without any worries.
And then, the 160 million dollars on the card downstairs, that the gang members were passing around, would just be laundered later and split among the four families.
In just one morning, each of them was able to get 15 million dollars! And it was just half of the day, and they would continue after two o’clock.
Within one day, they easily plundered 320 million dollars, and everyone stopped the operation. Xu Cheng walked away with 190 million!
And the four families took away 130 million! Basically, each family got more than 30 million dollars!
And this was just one day!
It was really even crazier than robbing a bank!
Saar directly invited everyone to have a crazy party in Las Vegas, but he was turned down by Xu Cheng. The other gang leaders didn’t force it, since they knew Xu Cheng probably didn’t want to expose himself in the M Nation since he had a seemingly-very simple identity on the surface!
But, Xu Cheng did toss Lin Dong to those guys and let him have a crazy night. Xu Cheng still wanted to test if this guy could stand the temptation of drugs from those people.
If he couldn’t, then he was destined to not be able to become a big part of his operation!
Lin Dong knew his position very well. The parties in Las Vegas were wild, and many people actually just took those things openly in public. It was quite normal, and weed was even legal here. But, he knew he definitely shouldn’t touch those things.
As for girls, he didn’t hold back.
Early the next morning, he went to pick up their new car. It was an extended Maybach sedan, and he appeared at his teacher’s door on schedule.
Xu Cheng was quite satisfied with this habit of Lin Dong’s. No matter how crazy it went last night, Lin Dong was very punctual.
Sitting in the car, Xu Cheng got a call from the lawyer Stenson.
“Boss, I got it done!” On the other end, Stenson sounded very happy. “Now, the Koman Laboratory is an asset under your name.”
“That fast?” Xu Cheng asked curiously, “That old man really agreed to just ten million dollars?”
“Not really.” Stenson said, “But I found out that his granddaughter didn’t really like that old man, and she has a habit of buying lottery tickets. So, I pretended that she won 3 million dollars so he would accept the money without any additional feelings. I told this to the old man, and then used ten million to buy his lab.”
Xu Cheng frowned. “You took 2 million yourself?”
Stenson: “Boss, if I really did, I wouldn’t be telling you the details. I’m trying to cut your expenses. Don’t forget, other than a lawyer, I’m also a financial planner. In fact, that old man didn’t agree at first.”
“Oh? And then?” Xu Cheng asked.
“But what was surprising was, when I went to find that old man, in fact, he was already in the ICU at the hospital. After his granddaughter got the money, she got a call from the hospital and she actually didn’t even hesitate before going over to pay for the expenses with the money.”
Xu Cheng: “So she actually still sees that old man as her grandpa.”
After pausing for a moment, Xu Cheng said, “Stenson, remember, I want a helper that follows orders. If you still want this job, give the remaining 2 million to that old man. Or, if you want the money more than this job, you can take away those two million.”
“I know what to do now, Boss,” Stenson said and then hung up the call.
Two million was really more than he could earn his entire life as a wealth planner, and it would also be enough for the rest of his life since he could plan this wealth well to make it last. However, he still gave it to the old man and then came back to report to Xu Cheng.
After getting into Xu Cheng’s car, Stenson saw the extended Maybach and the interior and was a bit shocked.
“Looks like I was hired by a pretty rich boss,” Stenson felt the luxurious interior and said.
Xu Cheng looked at him with a serious face and said, “If you follow me, I will not treat you badly. But, you have to remember my principles. Don’t try to make decisions yourself or play petty little tricks. What’s yours will be yours, and what’s not yours can’t be forced.”
Then, Xu Cheng passed a card to him and said, “There are 600 million dollars in here. You can manage and invest the money, and I will call you when I need it. In the future, there will be money coming in from time to time. Don’t ask about it, no matter how much the amount is.”
When Stenson heard that there was 600 million in that card, his pupils contracted slightly.
Looks like he really underestimated this humble-looking Asian man.
And from what Xu Cheng said, it was also a subtle reminder that he had not yet gained the boss’s trust, so he was in no place to ask questions about the money!
“As for your salary, take 100 thousand dollars per month for now.”
Stenson was a bit touched. “Thank you so much, Boss!”
A hundred thousand per month, that was more than a million per year! This was already a top-tier salary for the financial planners at Wall Street.
“If there’s nothing else, you can get off the car now,” Xu Cheng said.
Stenson nodded. He put the Koman Lab’s key in the car. Lin Dong parked the car by the side of the street and Stenson left. He knew, the more money he had in his hands, the more careful he has to be. After all, someone that can just give him 600 million dollars so casually probably has a million ways to kill him.
To be honest, it was Stenson’s first time managing this much money, he was feeling a bit excited.
“Teacher, where are we going?”
“The Koman Lab,” Xu Cheng picked up the keys and said.
Lin Dong nodded and drove over.
That old man Koman already took away his personal belongings, and Xu Cheng had Lin Dong wait outside as he went into the lab himself.
Cell resuscitation.
When Xu Cheng heard Koman talk about this project, he actually had a desire to give it a try!
It seemed that whenever he touched water, his wounds could repair itself; would that count as cell resuscitation?
Xu Cheng had a sense of urgency to try this crazy experiment. Could his blood actually have this ability?
