Chapter 7280
The leader even uses a voice changer when issuing orders,
Making it difficult to distinguish between male and female.
She happened to know the name Victoria because her maternal grandmotherβs younger sister had an affair with a member of the Wu family from the Left Army Governorβs Mansion when she was young.
She heard the name Victoria and her story from the Wu familyβs bedside.
Otherwise, even if Charlie said the name Victoria,
She would be completely confused.
Charlie noticed Rachelβs shock and smiled, saying,
βYou donβt need to be so surprised.β
βAlthough Iβve never met Victoria,β
βI know sheβs lived for over four hundred years and is the founder and sole leader of the Warriors Den.β
Rachel, still shaken, looked at Charlie and said,
βMr. Chen, you probably know more about the Warriors Den than I doβ¦β
Charlie waved his hand dismissively, saying,
βYou donβt need to be so modest.β
βAll I know is Victoriaβs background.β
βI know nothing about the Left Army Governorβs Office.β
βI had Steve invite you here to ask you about it.β
Rachel pursed her lips, embarrassed, and said,
βTo be honestβ¦β
ββ¦I donβt know much about the Left Army Commandery either.β
βAfter all, the scholars are an organization excluded from the core circle.β
βWe scholars are like satellites theyβve scattered across the land.β
βThey know everything about us,β
βBut we know very little about them.β
Charlie asked her,
βWill the people from the Left Army Commandery have direct contact with you?β
Rachel shook her head:
βAt most, in the event of a major or emergency,β
βThe Left Army Commandery will send a deputy commander to deliver instructions.β
βAnd these people are highly skilled and elusive.β
βWe donβt know who they are, where they come from,β
βOr where theyβre going.β
βA deputy commander?β
Charlie raised an eyebrow, unconsciously thinking of Ria.
Ria was a deputy commander in the Right Army Commandery,
Which should be considered mid-to-high-level management within the Commandery.
So Charlie asked Rachel,
βHave you met the man from the Governorβs Office?β
Rachel truthfully replied,
βI met him once.β
Charlie asked again,
βWhat was he there for?β
Rachel said, βThat time, it was because the Left Army Governorβs Office had a business related to oil.β
βAnd the Governorβs Office hoped my mother could help connect them with the Getty family.β
βBusiness?β
Charlie was puzzled and couldnβt help but say,
βThe Warriors Den shouldnβt be that abrupt, right?β
βTheyβre having your mother connect them with your fatherβs family to do business.β
βWouldnβt that expose their own company?β
Rachel explained, βThat case was rather special.β
βThe Left Army Governorβs Office had a batch of crude oil from shale oil fields in America that they wanted to sell through the Getty familyβs channels.β
βThey specifically ordered that it not be sold publicly.β
βThe crude oil should be mixed into the Getty familyβs inventory.β
βSold together with the Getty family,β
βAnd then the Getty family would pay the taxes and give the Left Army Governorβs Office cash.β
βThe settlement with the Military Governorβs Office totaled nearly one hundred million US dollars.β
Charlie frowned slightly, then relaxed, smiling at Maria,
βIt seems the people in the Left Military Governorβs Office also have their own selfish motives.β
Maria smiled and nodded, saying,
βIt looks like the oil fields under the Left Military Governorβs Office concealed a portion of their production from Victoria,
And then secretly converted this concealed crude oil into cash through the Getty familyβs channels.β
Charlie nodded, smiling, βAnyone capable of doing something like this must be someone from the Wu family,β
βPossibly even a high-ranking member of the Governorβs Office.β
As he spoke, Charlie murmured with some doubt,
βThe Five Military Commands each control a large number of elite guard posts,β
βAnd they should all be large industrial and mining enterprises with extremely low labor costs.β
βLogically speaking, the income of each Command should be very large,β
βPossibly hundreds of billions of US dollars a year.β
βAs members of the Wu family and regional governors of the Warriors Den, Victoria would not treat them unfairly.β
βWhy risk making such a small amount of money?β
Maria shook her head and smiled,
βBrother, think about it.β
βThe Left Army Command has many profitable businesses in the rich land of North America.β
βShale oil alone can bring in an extra 100 million US dollars.β
βIf every business is done in the same way,β
βIt would be hundreds of millions of US dollars,β
βOr even billions of US dollars, in net income a year.β
βThese are all tax-free and can be pocketed.β
βAlthough the Warriors Den commands a large number of loyal followers and enjoys high income,β
βThe amount of funds required to maintain the operations of the various governorships and headquarters is astronomical.β
βMoreover, there are countless scholar families scattered throughout the world.β
βTo ensure they receive the best education and access to the highest levels of society,β
βThe funds the Warriors Den needs to provide are likely enormous.β
βTherefore, the amount left for the Grand Governor and his family each year is probably not very high.β
βEveryone has selfish motives.β
βAnd itβs normal for some to want to pocket more money.β
