The middle-aged man Jimmy was very efficient and walked into the office excitedly the next day.
"Boss, University of Tokyo Banyan City's branch has been registered, and all workers have signed and agreed to the wage split plan."
Fu Haoran flipped through the documents and nodded.
He chose an industrial park in the suburbs of Banyan City, his hometown. Foreign-funded enterprises are free of rent and taxes for three years. He simply bought a large villa with a yard for his parents, registered it as the company's office address, and asked the company to pay the rent for his parents. It was all included in the office costs, so not a penny was wasted.
The company's business scope is diverse, from shipbuilding, artificial intelligence, to new energy, medical equipment, and even unpopular aerospace parts. Everything that can be written is covered.
The most shocking thing is that Fu Haoran has stuffed more than 10,000 employees into the social security system.
A purely empty shell company with tens of thousands of people, it looks strong on the surface, but in fact its core business is all in United States.
Jimmy continued to report, "According to the new wage plan, our company's corporate tax payment will be reduced by 62%, and the money received by the workers will double."
He paused, then couldn't help complaining. "Boss, when I did the calculation, I discovered that the United States tax is simply outrageous."
"Federation tax + state tax + social security and medical insurance, 45% is directly deducted. There are also zoo maintenance tax, urban rainwater tax, and street light tax. We work hard to make some money, and we still have to pay for the private zoo of the rich?"
Fu Haoran sneered and strengthened his decision to avoid taxes.
Rich people keep animals and open zoos, so why should we working people pay taxes?
"Just follow this plan." Fu Haoran decided, "The majority of wages will go to the domestic account, United States will only pay the minimum wage locally, and more will be paid each time."
"Understood! I will keep an eye on the compliance procedures throughout, and there will definitely be no problems." Jimmy nodded immediately, this is his area of expertise.
The matter of labor costs has been completely settled, and the next step is the core procurement of ship repairs.
Fu Haoran glanced at the warship damage report on the table. United States military designated Japan Mitsubishi Heavy Industries as the steel supplier. The numbers on the quotation were eye-catchingly high.
Marine thick steel plates of the same specifications are equivalent to RMB 12,100 per ton.
This price is already more than three times the domestic market price.
He frowned, picked up the phone directly, and dialed the number of Manager Hu, the domestic Ansteel supplier.
As soon as the call was connected, Manager Hu's loud voice came over. "Hello, who are you?"
"Manager Hu? I want to repair a batch of ships. The customer's requirements have been sent to your email. What price can you give me?"
Manager Hu was stunned for a moment, and immediately opened his mailbox. When he saw that the sending IP address was from an overseas company, his eyes instantly lit up.
Big customer!
He did not dare to neglect and immediately finished calculating the quotation. "Mr. Fu, I will give you the honest price for the special marine steel you want, which is 4,200 yuan per ton."
Fu Haoran was stunned.
What's going on? It's so much cheaper, so it can't be fake, right?
He worriedly asked, "Can the performance of your steel meet the reported parameters?"
Manager Hu was afraid of losing a big customer, so he patted his chest on the spot and assured, "Mr. Fu, the value may be a little off, but it's definitely not too different. It fully complies with marine standards. Don't worry!"
Fu Haoran thought about it and thought so.
The price is only one-third of that of Japanese companies, just a little bit better, and completely acceptable.
If it doesn't work, just give the CIA people some money and let them come forward to handle the acceptance. That's almost enough.
So it was finalized on the spot. "Okay, you start preparing. I will have someone sign the contract with you, and the deposit can be paid today."
Seeing that Fu Haoran was so cheerful and did not bargain at all, Manager Hu felt happy and immediately started stocking up.
Fu Haoran After a simple calculation, the cost of purchasing steel alone was cut to one-third of the original price, saving nearly tens of millions of dollars.
As soon as the steel matter was finalized, Mr. Zhang, the manager of the domestic cooperative machinery factory, received a call from overseas.
As soon as the call was connected, Mr. Zhang's voice was full of collapse and his throat was hoarse. "Mr. Fu! We can't do this job! We can't meet the drawing parameters you gave us!"
Fu Haoran frowned. "What's going on?"
"In the drawing of the core hydraulic components of the civil radar you gave us, we used the best materials and the most advanced craftsmanship for the breakage and slip parameters. We stayed up all night for three nights, but we still couldn't meet these standards!"
Chief Engineer Zhang's tone was full of frustration. "I have been working in machinery for thirty years, and this is the first time I have seen such outrageous parameters. Even military parameters cannot meet these requirements!"
Fu Haoran was stunned for a moment.
At first, he thought it was because domestic technology could not keep up, and he even had the idea of using Warhammer World technology.
But then I thought it was wrong.
United States military is a component that can be installed in batches. There is no reason why top domestic machinery factories cannot reproduce it.
"Gong Zhang, don't worry yet." Fu Haoran reassured, thinking only of how to fool things, "I gave you the correct drawing, it is the official drawing of the original factory. In this way, I will get two sets of original spare parts and send them to you for a blind test to see where the problem lies."
After hanging up the phone, Fu Haoran immediately called Cole.
He did not say the specific reason, only that he needed two sets of radar hydraulic spare parts that had been retired from the original factory to repair the ship, and asked the CIA to help find them through military channels.
Cole was waiting for him to advance money to repair the ship, hoping that he would start work soon, so he agreed without saying a word, and sent two sets of second-hand original spare parts to the country in three days.
A few days later, Mr. Zhang called again.
This time, there was no collapse in his voice, it was full of anger and disbelief, and a bit of a dumbfounding sound.
"Mr. Fu! We disassembled the original parts and did a blind test, and the results came out! The actual performance of the original parts cannot even reach the 60% stated in their own technical report!"
Fu Haoran was dumbfounded on the spot.
What's going on? Is the CIA trying to eliminate fakes for itself?
That's not right.
He dug out the official technical report given by United States military, looked at the black and white parameters on it, and fell into deep thought.
Could it be that the United States military-industrial myth that the world has been pursuing for decades was supported by a false report?
But Fu Haoran has no intention of delving into this at all.
He only cares about one thing, and that is how to use the lowest cost to reproduce parts that can pass United States military acceptance.
As for whether the performance can meet the drawing requirements, that is not his concern.
Anyway, the contract requires repairs to 70%, which does not include the performance standards of these high-precision equipment.
With the mentality of a tall man holding up the sky if it falls, Fu Haoran reassured. "Mr. Zhang, just produce according to the actual performance of the original parts. Give me a batch of samples first. I will settle the balance with you first. If it doesn't work, we will rework."
Mr. Zhang didn't want to let the duck fly. Party A was willing to pay and the parameters were outrageous. He didn't have any reason to refuse and agreed on the spot.
After hanging up the phone, Fu Haoran leaned back on the chair and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
It's better now.
The cost of steel has been cut to one-third, and the cost of parts and components has been cut to one-tenth. Even with a basic budget of only 200 million US dollars, a net profit of more than 100 million US dollars can be achieved.
If we cooperate with the CIA and go through the Congressional overspending approval process, we can make 500-600 million US dollars, both inside and outside.
It's just that Fu Haoran doesn't know that his unintentional operations have been watched by others.
Manager Zhang from the machinery factory hung up the phone number Fu Haoran. The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong.
Chief Engineer Zhang is a veteran engineer who retired from the former military industry system. After retirement, he was re-employed and joined the company.
"Wait a minute, this is not a part of a civilian ship at all, why does it look like the core component of United States military Aegis warship's military radar!"
Chief Engineer Zhang was a little scared. For a domestic machinery factory to reproduce the core parts of military ships for United States Company, this could be a big or small matter. If confidential information was involved, he could not bear the responsibility.
Chief Engineer Zhang has dealt with confidentiality regulations all his life and is extremely sensitive to military drawings. He has suffered losses before due to illegal access to military drawings.
After hesitating all night, Mr. Zhang finally took the drawings and chose to report to National Security.
The investigators immediately paid attention and launched an investigation on the spot.
The sender of the drawings is a foreign-funded enterprise registered in Banyan City Suburban Industrial Park, named DYB (Banyan City) Technology Co., Ltd.
The two investigators immediately drove to the registered address for verification.
When the car arrived, both of them were stunned.
The registered address is not an office building in an industrial park at all, but a single-family villa with a yard in the suburbs.
Pushing the door open and walking in, the yard was neatly filled with flowers and plants, but the villa was empty, not even a desk or chair. It was a pure empty shell, and not even a single person could be found.
The two of them felt tense instantly.
The empty shell company provides the drawings of the core components of the United States military ship, which is definitely not a trivial matter.
I immediately went back to my work unit to check the data from the industrial and commercial and social security systems, and the more I checked, the more alarming I became.
This company actually paid social security in its social security system!
But they searched all over Banyan City, not to mention employees, and couldn't find even one working staff member. The company's contact number could never be reached. The registered legal person information was a Chinese named Fu Haoran.
The investigators were stunned on the spot.
The empty villa, social security payment records, and receipt of United States military radar blueprints all look like a huge case of illegal employment and overseas espionage.
"Quick! Upgrade the investigation level immediately and retrieve complete industrial and commercial files."
As a result, the bottom file was adjusted and everyone was dumbfounded.
The 100% controlling shareholder of DYB (Banyan City) Technology Co., Ltd. is DYB Technology Group registered at United States, legal person Fu Haoran, Chinese, with complete procedures and compliant registration. It is a legitimate wholly-owned foreign subsidiary of United States.
It is a branch of United States enterprise registered in University of Tokyo, and the procedures are completely compliant.
The investigators looked at each other and stood in the office without saying a word for a long time.
It's full of drama. Do you think he broke the law?
Nothing illegal at all.
But no one breathed a sigh of relief.
United States Company, a shell company registered in University of Tokyo, purchases core components for military-grade ships. There is definitely a bigger secret hidden behind it.
The team leader picked up the encrypted mobile phone and dialed a number. "Bureau Wei, this case Banyan City is not simple. A meeting is required."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds. "At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, bring all the information to the conference room."
After hanging up the phone, the team leader looked out the window.
The night is already dark, and the lights in the office may stay on all night.
The next day, in the case analysis conference room on the third floor, the curtains were tightly drawn, and the cold light of the incandescent lamp shone on the table. DYB Company's industrial and commercial information, social security details, and the drawings of the Aegis warship radar components were spread out.
Two field investigators stood in front of the table and reported everything they had verified during the day.
The conference room fell silent for an instant, leaving only the rustle of paper being turned.
The detachment leader sitting in the main seat tapped his fingertips on the table, glanced at the persons in charge of investigation, technology, and foreign affairs present, and spoke in a very low voice with unquestionable seriousness:
"This case involves foreign countries, the military, and empty social security for tens of thousands of people. This case is not that simple."
Fu Haoran didn't know that an investigation against him had been launched.
