Chapter 158 Alice in Wonderland (two in one)
America.
New York.
Vercetti Building.
Like Optimus Prime, Vercetti Building stands in the heart of the city.
During the Hand's rule, this building was just an ordinary building, no different from those financial buildings in New York.
But after Tommy took over, Vercetti Building gradually became famous and slowly became a holy place for countless entrepreneurs.
The reason is simple.
Tommy is too successful.
In less than two years, he started from scratch and created a multi-billion-dollar family business.
Looking at the entire business world, this is also a great miracle.
Of course, more than half of these billions of dollars can be considered illegal income.
Fortunately, thanks to his many successful operations in the stock market, Tommy covered up his behavior well and laundered all the money into his legitimate income.
The process here is very complicated and definitely not as simple as it sounds.
Tommy also spent a lot of effort and specially found many professionals. With the help of assistant Jin, he was able to complete it successfully.
Today, Tommy, who had finished his trip to Budapest, returned to the company again, just for the sake of this time's income, intending to repeat the old trick and launder the looted property.
Jin was very worried about his idea.
"Boss, our stockbroker Jordan contacted me some time ago and told me that he had a friend in the Securities and Exchange Commission who warned him that our company's account had been targeted recently.
Look, should we wait for a few days and make plans after this storm is over?"
The Securities and Exchange Commission is a completely independent federal administrative agency that is not affiliated with the Presidential Palace or other administrative departments.
The department has great authority and is specifically responsible for investigating and restricting fraud, manipulation, excessive speculation and insider trading in securities activities.
To put it bluntly, it is equivalent to the police and judges of the stock industry.
For this reason, after hearing the situation reported by Jin, Tommy felt a slight headache, rubbed his temples with his hands, thought for a moment, and spoke again.
"You are right to worry. This is indeed a problem.
Let's do as you say. Inform our people to be careful these days and don't show your hand."
"Then the money you got this time...?"
"Keep it for now and think of a way later."
Tommy pondered.
He just looked at the financial statements and found that the company's recent business conditions are very good and the capital chain is very healthy.
There is no need to worry about money laundering.
However, this incident reminded Tommy.
There is a saying that goes, don't put all your eggs in one basket.
The stock market is indeed very helpful to him, but he can't always put his hopes on stocks.
From the overall situation, he should open up a new path as much as possible to avoid possible huge losses in the future.
And he already has a rough plan for how to go on this path.
"Some time ago, those computer experts I asked you to find, how are they working now?"
Yes, the path Tommy found is cryptocurrency.
With the experience of his previous life, he knew how convenient this thing was, which just happened to correspond to his current situation.
Furthermore, it is not difficult to create a cryptocurrency from scratch.
The important thing is to consider how to hype it, how to make this cryptocurrency more valuable, and then be recognized by the public.
The first thing he needs to do is to find enough official personnel to endorse it, so that this cryptocurrency has a certain degree of authority.
Next, he needs to find someone to pay for this cryptocurrency.
It is useless to have goods alone, they must be circulated in the market.
For this reason, he accepted the invitation and decided to visit Jin Bing's wedding.
What other profession needs cryptocurrency more than the gangster industry?
In addition to Jin Bing, the local snake, Tommy also greeted Gianna, which was considered to be fully prepared.
"Okay, I understand it all."
After listening to Jin's report for a while, Tommy nodded, indicating that he understood the situation.
He raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was almost three or four o'clock in the afternoon. It was time to get off work.
Being a boss has this advantage. You can get off work when you want.
Even if he doesn't come to work at all.
The premise is that there must be someone who is trustworthy enough to use.
Fortunately, Tommy has such a person around him.
With Jin, an excellent assistant, he does not need to worry about everything, and can move around freely and be a leisurely boss.
Before leaving, he seemed to remember something and suddenly asked:
"By the way, how is the assistant we hired before? She has been in the company for a while. How is her performance at work?"
"Are you asking Donna Paulson? The girl cherishes this job opportunity very much and works very hard.
Although she is not very skilled in the business, she learns very quickly.
It will probably not take too long for her to officially devote herself to the work."
Tommy nodded, thinking in his heart.
Jin rarely praises people, and it seems that Donna really satisfies her.
That's good.
Jin is indeed capable, but you can't always use one person to death, right?
Even if he is a hardworking old ox, he will be exhausted sooner or later, not to mention a living person like Jin.
Therefore, the matter of reducing the burden is imminent.
And that Donna Paulson is the candidate carefully selected by Tommy.
"Okay, I'm really leaving this time."
"Go quickly, go quickly."
Jin has no intention of retaining him at all.
Where in the world is there such a boss who will leave for several days.
This time is okay, at least he has not lost contact.
The last time was really excessive. It was fine to say that he was on vacation, but he didn't see him for half a month, and he didn't even return a phone call. It was like he had evaporated from the face of the earth.
That is, she knows Tommy's strength, otherwise she would definitely be scared to call the police to find him.
Of course, Tommy's trust still touched her.
This is also the biggest reason why she has been working diligently.
Although the high salary is also a factor.
Tommy said he would go home, but he didn't go back in the end.
Just as he was about to enter the elevator, the phone in his pocket rang. When he put it to his ear, it was a bad news.
"The Krusty Krab restaurant was robbed."
That's what the other end of the phone said, and Tommy fell into a long silence on this end of the phone.
Today is not April Fool's Day, this joke is not funny at all.
Think about it, he is the boss of the Vercetti gang, but he was robbed by robbers. If this gets out, he will be laughed at by his peers.
Moreover, according to the report from his subordinates on the phone, the enemy this time is very unusual. He is dressed in strange clothes and has no courageous temperament of robbers. He looks like he just came out of a circus.
Hearing this, Tommy immediately became energetic.
"Okay, I know everything. You hold on first. I will bring people there soon."
After hanging up the phone, he sent other soldiers to support again, and he also got in the car and rushed to the Krusty Krab without stopping.
At this moment, he has realized what happened in the restaurant.
In all likelihood, they were robbed by super criminals.
Ordinary people might be afraid, but for Tommy, these were points that were delivered to him. He couldn't even ask for them, so why would he miss them?
He stepped on the accelerator, and the black Mercedes-Benz sped along the road, heading towards the Krusty Krab.
…
No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!
Not long ago.
Krusty Krab restaurant.
On weekdays, the restaurant is always filled with the aroma of mouth-watering food, mixed with the laughter of customers, like a happy sea of food.
But today, a chaotic situation is about to come here.
At the gate, a guy dressed as a bunny girl walked in.
She wore bunny ears on her head, a thick layer of white paint on her face, and painted a few whiskers on herself.
Her clothes were very bold. She was normal outside, wearing a blue plaid shirt, but the clothes she wore inside were amazing, only a V-shaped one-piece underwear.
Apart from that, she had no other clothes to cover her body, and her two long, smooth, white legs were exposed to the air.
Behind her, there were two companions.
One was tall, the other short, one was thin, and the other was fat.
The tall and thin one wore a colorful hat and looked crazy and difficult to mess with.
As for the short and fat one, he was much less aggressive, and his face was also covered with grease paint, like a large chipmunk.
"All of you guys who are in the way, get out of my way, don't interrupt my business!"
The woman who called herself White Rabbit shouted loudly, raising her voice.
Although she shouted as loudly as possible, the customers at the scene didn't pay much attention.
The three people were dressed so funny that people didn't think they were robbers, but thought it was very likely a special event organized by the Krabby King.
"Uh... My nephew and I are dining at the Krusty Krab for the first time, so I want to ask, are you doing some Easter event? Or is this a belated April Fool's joke?"
Seemingly very curious about this matter, the woman sitting in the corner raised her hand to ask.
But it was obvious that White Rabbit was not a patient person.
She had no intention of answering the question at all, and directly raised the gun in her hand and fired a few shots at the ceiling in a demonstrative manner.
Bang, bang, bang!
The sudden gunshots rang out, and the customers in the restaurant were stunned at first, and then they felt a panic and screamed in fear.
Being disturbed by the sound, White Rabbit pulled the trigger and fired randomly again.
According to her original intention, she wanted to control the scene to facilitate the next robbery.
Unfortunately, the opposite result was obtained.
Not only did people not calm down, but they became more afraid and fled around like crazy.
In a panic, the customers knocked over the tables and chairs, causing the plates and cutlery on them to scatter all over the floor, making a harsh sound.
At this moment, the security guards who heard the gunshots rushed out from all corners.
They were well-trained, with a resolute look in their eyes. Without even saying a word, they directly fired at the three robbers with their automatic rifles.
Faced with the powerful firepower of the security guards, Bai Tu and others would not surrender, but fired back.
At this moment, the Krabby Patty was in complete chaos. From a restaurant where people could enjoy delicious food, it became a battlefield with fierce fighting.
Bullets flew in the air, making the restaurant a mess.
White Rabbit and others could still hold on at first, but due to the difference in numbers, they could not hold on and gradually fell into disadvantage.
"Damn! How can they have so many people?"
At this moment, White Rabbit was obviously a little anxious.
She could never have imagined that such a fierce firepower would exist in a small hamburger restaurant, making it impossible for her to show her head.
The situation was getting worse. The Mad Hatter was shot in the stomach and was bleeding.
The Chipmunk's arm was shot, and it was inconvenient to shoot.
Even she herself was grazed by a bullet on the cheek. If she hadn't subconsciously dodged in advance, she might have been shot in the head.
Not wanting to lose her life here, White Rabbit gritted her teeth and issued a retreat order.
Mad Hatter had wanted to run away a long time ago. Now that he heard the boss speak, he immediately touched his body with both hands, and several smoke bombs were taken out by him, and then he couldn't wait to throw them to the ground.
In an instant, white smoke spread like a ghost, covering the entire restaurant.
Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the smoke bombs, White Rabbit led his men to retreat quietly.
But this was obviously impossible.
Because the members of the Vercetti Gang who came later had surrounded the entire Krabby Patty and blocked any exit.
After seeing the gunmen with live ammunition outside, White Rabbit was helpless and shook her head secretly in her heart.
She didn't want to be beaten into a hornet's nest.
Since escaping has become a luxury, she can only think of other ways to get out.
But she thought about it for a long time and couldn't come up with a suitable way.
Seeing the smoke gradually dissipate, White Rabbit became more and more anxious.
At this moment, the chipmunk seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly nodded at her and pointed her in a direction.
A little boy was hiding under a dining table.
Judging from the other person's age, he was only about five or six years old, and he was wearing a SpongeBob cartoon jacket.
White Rabbit's eyes lit up, and she had a plan in mind.
Sure enough, the saying was right, there is always a way out.
Her chance finally came.
Taking advantage of the last afterglow of the smoke bomb, she commanded the Mad Hatter to go forward and catch the child.
The Mad Hatter did it very obediently.
He also saw the situation clearly and knew that this was their last chance.
Even though he was seriously injured, he still took the risk of rushing forward a few steps and grabbed the boy's leg.
The little boy wanted to resist, holding the table leg tightly with both hands, and refused to let go.
But his strength was too small, how could he fight against an adult like the Mad Hatter.
He was frightened by the Mad Hatter's fangs and claws, and his hands and feet softened immediately, and he was easily captured by the other party.
With the hostage in hand, White Rabbit felt confident, first shouted, and then stood up with the little boy.
"I'm warning you, don't come over here, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
