Gold Rush Starts in the Bering Sea

Chapter 94: Uses of Idle Funds

This day was tough for everyone.

It wasn't just that the mild-mannered Jason suddenly lost his temper; it was also the discomfort he felt while adjusting his biological clock after changing the gold rush schedule.

"Damn it, Kevin, wake up and watch where you're going!"

Brent's angry roar came through the walkie-talkie, instantly jolting Kevin, who was drowsy, into a daze. He quickly straightened the steering wheel, which had veered off course.

Brent, who had been watching closely, also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Everyone, we have one more hour. Please be careful. If you really can't stand it anymore, get off the bus and wash your face!"

He knew Jason valued safety above all else, and that everything was based on safety, so he didn't urge anyone on, only giving them repeated reminders.

Some people were smoking cigars, some were smoking cigarettes, and some even splashed water on their faces.

Swell and the others are fine; they work the night shift anyway, so their biological clocks have long since adjusted.

They were still half asleep when they took over the night shift, and they had to use cold water to keep themselves awake.

From midnight until after 10 a.m. the next day, as the scorching sun grew increasingly intense, the temperature inside the car gradually rose.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly.

After finishing their work, everyone yawned and headed towards the living area.

"Everyone, our next shift starts at 11:30 PM. Please remember not to go to bed too early, or you'll still feel sleepy at night."

Brent gave instructions, worried that the people whose biological clocks hadn't adjusted might cause accidents due to drowsiness while working.

"Brent, stop talking about us, look at your eyes, they're practically rabbit eyes!"

"Yeah, Brent, you have to hang in there. I think you'd be ready to fall asleep right now."

"Don't worry, we know. The alarm is already set."

Everyone chattered away, creating a harmonious atmosphere, especially Andy, who, being neither too young nor too old, could chat with almost everyone in the group.

Jason then took a helicopter directly to the city.

In addition to purchasing supplies and air conditioners, he also needs to consult a lawyer about some things.

The summer in Australia is incredibly hot, especially at midday. Looking around, the scorching sun seems to distort the air, and there are hardly any pedestrians on the streets.

Upon arriving at the supermarket, Jason immediately inquired, and thankfully, although it was 06, air conditioning was still available.

Jason placed the order directly, left his address, and asked them to expedite delivery to the mine.

At the same time, Jason also ordered a high-powered generator to meet the mine's growing electricity demand.

Adhering to the principle that since he was already there, Jason immediately started a large-scale shopping spree at the supermarket.

Freezer, buy it!

Cigars, buy them!

Drinks and beer, buy them!

There were all sorts of other things too. Jason felt that anything he could use, he would pay for and have the supermarket staff deliver it to the mine.

The supermarket owner, who had been taking notes the whole time, couldn't stop smiling. He kept recommending the products to Jason and assured him that he would deliver everything to the mine by evening.

I'd heard that a powerful young boss had come here, and this time he was making such a large purchase. He was already quietly calculating the profits he could make this time.

After silently calculating for a moment, Jason nodded to the supermarket owner and said, "That's all. Remember to deliver it to the mine before evening."

"no problem!"

The supermarket owner nodded in assurance, handing Jason his business card and saying, "This is my business card. Feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything. For a customer like you, I guarantee to provide the best service!"

Jason glanced at the business card and smiled, "Can you give me a discount?"

"No problem," the supermarket owner grinned. As long as they could buy goods from his supermarket long-term, he didn't care about the profit margin.

Jason nodded and exchanged a few pleasantries with him.

After leaving the supermarket, Jason took Dolino to the law firm to review his recent financial records.

Even if he doesn't necessarily understand it, and he's not worried that such a large law firm would pull off a fake operation, it doesn't stop Jason from showing his face, just in case something goes wrong.

Although Anna was somewhat surprised by Jason's arrival, her excellent professionalism allowed her to quickly retrieve the information Jason requested.

"Mr. Jason, this is a list of your recent procurement expenditures at the mine."

"Don't worry, we've already processed the payments for several companies; the taxes you need to pay are at the end."

Even though Jason knew these lawyers were skilled at tax avoidance, seeing the numbers still made his lips twitch involuntarily. He asked in surprise, "Anna, isn't this a bit excessive? Are you sure this is okay?"

"Mr. Jason, rest assured, everything is legal and compliant."

Anna smiled, quite pleased with Jason's reaction.

"Tsk~"

"Alright, since you've put it that way..."

Jason couldn't help but gasp, his expression strange, but since everything was legal and compliant, what could he say?

It can only be said that foreign countries have their own national conditions. Since this system can work, he is not the first person to do it. Someone has already paved the way for him, so what is he worried about?

Anna smiled and said, "Mr. Jason, our law firm will provide you with the best service, ensuring that your money is well spent."

Jason waved the report in his hand and smiled, "I can already sense your professionalism."

After a brief conversation, Jason explained the purpose of his visit: "Anna, does your law firm handle stock-related matters?"

Although it was clear from this conversation that Jason was completely unaware of the difference, Anna still politely explained, "Mr. Jason, we are just lawyers and don't have the relevant professional qualifications. I can connect you with the appropriate brokerage firm through our firm's channels and provide you with professional legal services."

Jason nodded, then asked, "If, and I mean if, I were to buy a company's stock, how could I operate it so that I could remain behind the scenes?"

"Sir, then it can't be done under the name of an individual investor. It needs to be done under the name of a company. You'll need to open an institutional securities account, and then create layers of intermediaries..."

"To give a simple example, it's like when you pay taxes now."

Anna, seeing Jason's furrowed brows, assumed he hadn't understood, so she succinctly explained using his current tax payment situation as an example.

Jason tapped his fingers lightly on the table, lost in thought, while Anna remained silent beside him.

Jason was also weighing the pros and cons. Although he could buy shares of the corresponding company directly through the brokerage firm in his own name, the downside was that he had nowhere to hide his purchases.

Despite not having much money on hand now, and not being a professional in the industry in his previous life, he still knows some well-known companies, even if he hasn't seen pork before.

After a long pause, Jason asked, "Anna, could you manage to set up an investment company?"

"Yes, we can handle the finance, tax, and legal aspects."

"But I still have to advise you that investing in a company involves complex financial activities, which involve significant tax costs and market risks, as well as substantial operating costs."

"If you are inclined towards financial investment, I do not recommend that you start an investment company."

Although Jason's actions might bring the firm a substantial income, her strong professional ethics compelled her to clearly explain the pros and cons.

What intrigued her, however, was the purpose of this still-immature young man starting an investment company.

She could understand tax avoidance in the early stages, since no one wants to hand over their hard-earned money for nothing, but was it really necessary for the mining industry?

But, the customer is king, so they do whatever the customer says.

It's better to earn money than not to earn any.

Jason remained silent, quietly pondering and analyzing the pros and cons.

"Let's open it, in the company's name!" After a long while, Jason finally made up his mind.

With my special abilities at my disposal, I will handle more and more gold in the future, and I will definitely not lack money!

Furthermore, he has memories of the next twenty years and has a relatively good understanding of future developments. What others consider risks do not exist for him!

Moreover, who is he? I am an American!

The reality in the United States is simple: capital is king!

If you take preventative measures in advance and remain behind the scenes, even if you are exposed in the future, as long as you have enough capital and are paid enough, there won't be much of a problem.

Anna, standing to the side, pursed her lips but still smiled and said, "No problem, we'll make some preparations, and we'll handle the communication with the brokerage firm."

Since everything that needed to be said had been said, and the other person didn't seem to care about their money, Anna wouldn't say anything more.

Although in her view, Jason's behavior was simply throwing his money away.

But what can you do when someone has money?

After finalizing the arrangements and briefly discussing what needed to be done, Jason prepared to head home.

The matter is both simple and complex, but it's definitely impossible to finish it today. It will take some time for the law firm to build the necessary structure.

Standing at the entrance of the firm, watching Jason drive away with his bodyguards, Anna let out a heavy sigh.
