Chapter 220 I need an identity!

People in later generations know that there are four major accounting firms on this planet, PwC, KPMG, Deloitte and Ernst & Young.

Each of these four major accounting firms is a well-deserved behemoth in the industry, with a annual turnover of more than US$20 billion and a giant accounting firm employing up to 100,000 people worldwide.

The Ernst Whini Accounting Company that Yang Jing came to today will merge with another eight accounting firms, Arthur Yang, who ranked sixth in the eight major accounting firms, and eventually become the famous ERNST&YOUNG, namely Ernst & Young.

But in 1979, Ernst Whini Accounting Company, whose headquarters is still in Cleveland, USA, was far less famous than Ernst Whini Accounting Company in the future. However, in this era, Ernst Whini Accounting Company, which is the world's eight largest accounting firms, also has many branches in major cities around the world.

As a global tax haven that emerged in the 1970s, Georgetown, the capital of the Cayman Islands, attracted many accounting companies to establish branches here early. After all, even in the 1970s, banks, insurance companies, trust companies, and other financial-related institutions in Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States and Switzerland, including Citibank, banks, trust companies and other institutions involved in finance successively settled in Cayman. Some companies, banks, trusts and other institutions originally established in the Bahamas also moved to the Cayman Islands to join in the fun.

According to the survey, in the 1970s, the 25 largest banks in the world had subsidiaries or branches in Cayman. The total assets of the financial and trust industry in the island have exceeded US$250 billion, accounting for 7% of the total transaction volume of Euro dollar. An average of about 4,300 companies are registered here every year. More than 700 banks around the world have branches in the Cayman Islands.

How could such an emerging financial center be missing those accounting companies?

Yang Jing came here today and was preparing to find Ernst Whini Accounting Company to do his own business.

Yang Jing's outfit is incompatible with the environment here. This is the famous Georgetown branch of Ernst Whini Accounting Company. Everyone in suits and ties are all in suits. However, Yang Jing, whose appearance has changed drastically, walked in in such a casual outfit.

Fortunately, as a world-renowned accounting company, the receptionist did not show the legendary clothing discrimination. Instead, after a moment of stunnedness, he immediately received Yang Jing with a smile.

Those who can serve as front desk receptions in such companies are not ordinary people. Their vision has been extremely sharp.

Although the man in his thirties was dressed in a fancy way, the code box he was carrying was a very rare box. Those who could come here with such a box must not treat others with their appearance.

The most important thing is that this man has such a charming smile and he is very handsome.

This is not nonsense! Pierce Brosnan, who had just made his mark on TV in three years, was definitely a handsome guy. He didn't start playing the fifth "James Bond" until 1995. He was recognized by movie fans as "the most handsome 007 agent in history."

At this time, although 27-year-old Pierce Brosnan had not yet started to star in the first TV series, Yang Jing, who adjusted his appearance based on his appearance, had a charm at this time that ordinary receptionists could not resist.

"Hello sir, is there anything I can help you?" The receptionist showed excellent professional qualities. Of course, Yang Jing could clearly see the look of "I want to date you" in the eyes of the receptionist lady.

"Hello, I want to find the person in charge here." Yang Jing replied with a smile, which made the receptionist at the front desk jump in his heart.

"Do you and Mr. Aler have an appointment?"

"Appointment?" Yang Jing was slightly stunned, then smiled and shook his head, "No, I didn't make an appointment with anyone, but I have a business of $2 million for just remuneration. I need someone who can take charge to talk to me personally."

As soon as he said this, the receptionist opposite was stunned for a moment, with a disbelief in his eyes.

This year is not 38 years later in 2017, but now it is 1979!

Even in 2017, two million US dollars was a big number, but in 1979, this number was a very large number.

At this time, the United States, the most developed country in the world, had an annual per capita income of only $10,000 or $2 million, which is equivalent to an American worker who does not eat or drink for two hundred years to earn.

Well, okay, it seems that it is not obvious to compare the salary of such ordinary workers to compare the two million dollars. So is it better for us to compare the sports stars?

At this time in 1979, the highest annual salary of players in the NBA league was the Los Angeles Lakers' super center "Sky Hook" Jabbar, and the Philadelphia 76ers' "Dr. J" Julius Irving, and the annual salary of the two was only $650,000 before tax per year!

Two million dollars, equivalent to each of them’s three years’ salary!

It is conceivable how powerful these two million dollars are now.

And what Yang Jing said just now is very clear that this is not a business of 2 million US dollars, but a business of 2 million US dollars just for rewards!

Two million dollars in compensation! Even if you look at the entire United States, it is rare.

Although those accountants are worth a lot of money, they handle business tens of millions, hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars, it is really rare that a single business remuneration can reach two million dollars.

The receptionist was also very clear. Not to mention a single accountant, even the Georgetown branch of Ernst Whiney Accounting Company, hundreds of accountants worked hard for a year, and the annual profits combined were only more than 10 million US dollars.

And this person in his thirties is rewarded with two million dollars at a glance. What a big deal?

How could such a person wearing beach pants and a big T-shirt provide such a large business order to the company?

Of course, Yang Jing also saw the doubts in the eyes of the receptionist lady at the front desk, so he smiled, lifted the password box in front of the receptionist lady, then turned a few passwords on the password box, and then gently pressed the unlock key. With a crisp "click" sound, the black password box that looked extremely exquisite was opened.

The receptionist's gaze looked into the open password box and immediately took a breath of cold air.

In this password box, a full box of green "Franklin" (100-dollar bills of US dollars) is neatly placed.

However, the receptionist at the front desk only took a look and the extremely jealous banknote was locked again.

"SO, now, beautiful lady, can you introduce to me the person in charge here?"

The receptionist at the front desk nodded in a panic, grabbed the phone on the table and called out.

When I got there and answered the phone, the receptionist at the front desk said with a stuttering: "Mr. Al, there is a gentleman here at the front desk. This gentleman wants to meet you. He said that there is a two million dollar business for just a reward."

Although he was still separated from the front desk lady, the phone call that was well-known still made Yang Jing clearly hear an anxious shout from the phone microphone: "Take that gentleman up right away... Oh, damn it, forget it, let the gentleman wait a moment, I'll go down to greet him now."

Yang Jing waited for a minute before he saw a white man about fifty-year-old quickly running down the stairs and walking towards him quickly.

The receptionist at the front desk called "Mr. Aler" respectfully. Yang Jing knew that this white man in his fifties and a little bald should be the highest person in charge of the Georgetown branch of Ernst Whini Accounting Company.

Sure enough, although the man was a little panting, he still showed a very respectful smile on his face. He stretched out his hands and held Yang Jing's hand and shook it, then said: "Hello, gentleman, I am Mike Aller, the highest person in charge here. Do you need any help from me?"

Yang Jing nodded and said, "Mr. Al, can we have a good talk in a secluded room?"

"OK, please come with me."

On the third floor of this office building, Yang Jing followed Mr. Mike Aller to his general manager's office.

After entering the house and sitting down, Mike Aller called the secretary to send two cups of steaming coffee, then closed the door and pulled down the blinds.

"OK, sir, now we can talk about the deal you just mentioned quietly. But I don't know what you call me sir?" Mike Aller said with a very graceful look.

Yang Jing smiled, without saying a word, and directly opened the password box in his hand. The two million dollars were presented to Mike Aller again.

"Mr. Aller, just call me Smith. You can verify the two million dollars first. If you think it's OK, we can talk about the next topic."

Mike Aller's breathing became a little rapid. Although the funds he handled every year were hundreds of millions, it was mostly some numbers on the books and cash. It was rare for him to get in contact with two million at once.

The most important thing is that if you can take over the business of this handsome gentleman, all the money will become your own reward!

This is two million dollars! Although I am a senior accountant and also serve as the general manager of the Georgetown branch, I only have an annual salary of 200,000 yuan after a busy year. If the remuneration of this 2 million dollars is earned, it will be equivalent to my total salary for ten years.

As a senior accountant, he doesn't need a banknote tester to authenticate the money. He just needs to touch it with his hands and know that all the money is real money.

Mike Aller closed the box, took a deep breath and asked, "Mr. Smith, what do you need to serve you?"

Yang Jing nodded slightly. The guy in front of him was quite calm and he was quite satisfied.

"Mr. Aller, if you want to earn this two million dollars, you need to handle several things for me. But I promise that in your current status and ability, these things are not difficult for you."

Mike Aller nodded and signaled Yang Jing to continue speaking.

"First of all, I need a legal identity in the Cayman Islands. No matter how you do it, I need to get a legal citizenship in the Cayman Islands within three days. As for my name, you can write it anyway. This thing can be a test for you. If you can complete this task within three days, we can continue to work together next. Oh, of course, I won't let you work in vain. If you can complete this task, I will pay you $200,000."

When Mike Aller heard this, his body, which was a little tight just now, suddenly relaxed.

The Cayman Islands have only been developing the financial industry for a few years. Unlike later generations, a large number of foreign immigrants appeared, and at the most they were known as 106 ethnic groups.

There are less than 40,000 people in the Cayman Islands now, and it is not difficult for people like Mike Aller to obtain a legal identity certificate.

"Mr. Smith, since you are willing to pay me $200,000, just to get me a legal identity for you, why don't you directly invest in an immigration? You should know that only $50,000 is enough to obtain a legal citizenship in the Cayman Islands."

Yang Jing smiled and said, "I don't want to reveal my identity, so, do you understand how you should do it?"

When Mike Aller was shocked when he heard Yang Jing say this. As a senior accountant and able to become the top director of Ernst Whini Accounting Company's Georgetown branch, he naturally knew that many rich people had some helpless quirks. But this quirk seemed quite vulgar in the eyes of outsiders, but these rich people were not tired of it.

Of course, some rich people will do something incredible to avoid taxes.

For example, when Mr. Smith and Mike Aller heard his request, he basically knew the rich man’s idea.

Those obviously unreasonable requirements for not wanting to reveal their identity and offer such high rewards are obviously preparing for what this rich man needs to do in the future. Obviously, the rich man came to a tax haven like the Cayman Islands for only one purpose, that is, to find a way to avoid high taxes.

If it weren't for this, this guy wouldn't have done such incomprehensible actions.

"Okay, as you wish, I will apply for a safe enough identity certificate for you tomorrow." Mike Aller saw this situation a lot, so he naturally knew what to do.

Yang Jing nodded with satisfaction and said, "Remember, it is best to have the kind of identity proof 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 that by that time you will definitely have a legal Cayman citizenship."
