Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 380: Brothers Settle Accounts Clearly, Their Death Is Too Weird

I asked curiously, "What secrets could there be behind the dry shares given away?"

Boss Dong chuckled.

He leaned close to my ear and whispered, "The dry shares are given to them."

"But we have the final say on how much the company can earn."

"If it's a legitimate company, they can do the expense accounting."

"Less revenue and more expenses on the books reduce profits, so dividends will naturally be less."

"What we registered is just a shell company."

"Even the step of doing the flower accounting is saved."

"As long as we sell the top-quality goods quietly, the bulk of the profits will naturally go into our pockets."

I understand what Boss Dong means.

From now on, top-quality items like bronze artifacts with divine face patterns will be picked out and traded privately.

The money never goes into the company account.

Instead, it is directly transferred to personal accounts.

This way, even if Zhuang Dongliang and Inspector Cao check the company's accounts.

No problems will be found.

The only thing we are afraid of is that they will use the power in their hands to check personal accounts.

Then you can check it for sure.

Boss Dong continued, "I'll open two bank accounts for you later."

"An account in Hong Kong Island, used for company dividend settlement."

"Open another overseas account."

"You know."

I understood it instantly.

Overseas accounts are used to settle transactions.

Even if Zhuang Dongliang and Inspector Cao have connections everywhere.

There is also no way to check the flow of funds in overseas accounts.

It turns out that old ginger is still spicy!

In the following days, I followed Boss Dong to open an account, register a company, etc.

In the blink of an eye, it was already six days after Saito Akihiro's death.

Boss Dong received a call from Uncle Chen.

After a few "hmm"s, he put down the receiver and said to me, "Uncle Chen asked you to go to Wong Tai Sin Temple tonight."

I wondered, "Saito Akihiro has only been dead for six days, not even the seventh day."

Boss Dong smiled and shook his head: "Isn't tonight at midnight his seventh day?"

This is also true.

If we count the days since death day by day, tonight at midnight is indeed the seventh day.

But if we count point by point based on the time of death, the seventh day would be tomorrow night.

Because of different algorithms, some places have derived the saying that it is more than six but not more than seven.

That is to say, the seventh day is moved forward one day.

The seventh day after a person's death is celebrated with a ceremony on the sixth day.

I feel that it would be a bit immature to bring up these trivial matters again.

Moreover, Uncle Chen himself is a master of Feng Shui.

You must know more about these things about the first seven days than I do.

So he nodded in agreement.

"Yes, things here are almost done. I plan to return to the mainland the day after tomorrow."

"If it's okay, I'll have someone arrange the tickets."

The tickets Boss Dong was talking about were train tickets.

After I obtained Hong Kong Island identity, I was able to expedite the application for a Hong Kong Island passport thanks to Zhuang Dongliang's recommendation.

Now you can enter the country with your head held high through the Luohu Port.

No more sneaking in and out by water.

"Then pick up my grandfather from the hospital tomorrow."

I slapped my head and then remembered about my grandfather's medical expenses.

Boss Dong had previously paid for all the medical expenses.

"My grandfather's medical expenses haven't been paid yet..."

Boss Dong waved his hand to interrupt me: "That's not necessary."

I immediately became anxious: "How can I not use it?"

"Even brothers must settle accounts clearly."

"We can't let money become a hidden danger that hurts feelings."

Money is such a bastard sometimes.

Many close friends have fallen out over money.

In the end, they became strangers and never spoke to each other again.

So my attitude towards money is that even brothers should settle accounts clearly.

The accounts were calculated clearly, which made everyone convinced.

In the future, there will naturally be no grudges or estrangements caused by money issues.

Why did many tomb-robbing gangs later become industrialized?

One of the key points.

It lies in the industrialized operation, which has reformed the distribution method of traditional tomb-robbing gangs.

Traditional tomb-robbing gangs are usually divided into two operating modes.

One is family style.

Teams of relatives, friends or brothers would rob tombs, sell what they dug and distribute the money equally.

The problem with this kind of distribution is that everyone is selfish.

Once selfish thoughts arise, people will think about eating more and taking more.

As long as someone in the team becomes selfish, it won't take long for it to fall apart.

The other is the support pot type.

In fact, the later industrialized tomb robbing can be regarded as an upgraded version of the pot-raising tomb robbing.

The person who "holds the pot" is equivalent to the financial backer.

After determining the location of the tomb, Zhiguo paid money to recruit helpers and laborers.

This changes the family-style average settlement into an employment-style payment based on work.

This formed identity classes.

The control over the lower levels has been significantly enhanced.

As for industrialized tomb robbing, the supporting pot model has been upgraded.

Upgrade to someone responsible for each function and do their own thing.

This will create technical barriers and reduce the emergence of generalists.

For example, someone who understands Feng Shui and knows how to find tombs will only deal with Zhiguo and will never see other people in the tomb-robbing gang.

After Zhiguo bought the news of the location of the tomb.

We will arrange experienced people to explore the area.

The scouts must have extensive experience in tomb robbing.

It can determine the size and structure of the tomb and whether it has been robbed.

If you have been robbed before, is there any need to steal again?

They would even determine the location of the tunnel and leave secret marks.

After investigating these situations, the legs will report to the pot.

Zhiguo decided to rob the tomb, and then he started looking for people to do the work.

I want to say something here.

The most important ability of a pot-holder is to know people.

The person you hire to do the work must be someone who is strict in words but strong in heart and dares to take risks.

Those who keep their mouths shut won't leak any information.

Those with hard hearts will not be afraid when they go to the grave.

Those who dare to take risks will not confess even if they are caught.

If the people hired to do the work fail to do these things, the probability of being caught will increase significantly.

That’s why tomb robbers are caught every year.

The benefits are huge on the one hand.

But the more important thing is that we can’t find the culprit.

The vast majority of those arrested were hard laborers, and a small number were hired as runners with some technical skills.

No matter how many low-level tomb robbers are caught, they will inevitably come back again.

The work of going into a tomb is usually divided into several steps and completed by different people.

For example, blasting.

Zhi Guo will arrange for his confidant to take the demolition man to the designated place to find the secret signs left by the leg man during the investigation.

The blasters then carry out blasting based on factors such as soil quality and depth.

After the blasting is completed, the blaster will be sent away from the scene.

Then ordinary people would come in and rob the tomb with their hard work.

Why is it called "ordinary legs"?

Since this segmented operation became popular, the technical requirements for the legs have been greatly reduced.

In the past, except for not understanding Feng Shui, the tomb-robbing masters basically mastered all other tomb-robbing techniques.

This kind of leg-handler can easily leave the job and start his own team.

In order to reduce the situation where trained talents become competitors, the industrial model breaks down the various links of tomb robbing.

Let the participants perform their respective duties and only master the skills of one link, completely turning them into assembly line workers.

Let’s get back to the present.

Boss Dong smiled and said, "I will definitely settle the account with your brother."

"But Ye Han has already paid for all the medical expenses."

"Ye Han also said he was very grateful for your help."

"When he returns to Aoshima Island and establishes a Jockey Club to defeat the gambling king, he will thank you properly."

Then it dawned on me.

It turned out to be Ye Han's return.

In order to help him break the feng shui of the gambling king's family, I almost died in the crypt.

This reward can be accepted with peace of mind.

Boss Dong then took out a large envelope from his bag.

He placed it in front of me and said, "After thinking about it, I decided to ask someone to help you find out the circumstances of Saito Akihiro's death."

"There are pictures of him in there when he died."

"I'm a little scared, so I won't watch it with you."

After saying that, Boss Dong left the living room without looking back.

I picked up the envelope, hesitated for a few seconds, and took a deep breath.

Pull the photo out of the envelope.

Just a glance.

I felt a chill down my spine!

The cold air rushed along the tailbone to the top of the head!

Because the death of Saito Akihiro in the photo was so strange!
