In addition, Baldwin's criminal syndicate had also opened up land smuggling routes, transporting products into the United States from the long border between the United States and Japan. This was actually the same as how the people from the Golden Triangle transported goods into Hua Xia through the long southern border of Hua Xia.
Of course, the United States was no fool. They quickly tightened their control of their borders and coastlines, but they were still unable to stop Baldwin's well-established drug transportation routes. In addition, Baldwin's criminal syndicate had also opened up a route to Asia.
Xu Yun had obviously experienced this before. The new American drugs that entered Hua Xia through waterwheels were almost all from Baldwin's syndicate.
In addition, Baldwin also used Japan as a transit point. As the United States' control of their borders and coastlines became more and more ruthless, Baldwin's gaze fell on Japan. After all, everyone knew that Japan was the most barking dog of the United States.
Baldwin's criminal syndicate loaded the drugs onto cargo ships or flights bound for Japan. They first transported to Japan, then from Japan to the United States via sea or air. Although this was more troublesome, it could reduce a lot of risks.
The Japanese were unaware of this. It could only be said that Baldwin's brain worked too fast. He could do many things that caught people off guard.
There were policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. No matter how the United States messed with him, he could always think of new ways and ways to solve problems and troubles.
Next was Baldwin's most astute part. His criminal syndicate actually invested most of the huge amount of money they earned from selling drugs into legal businesses!
In the end, he actually used this method to legalize his illegal profits.
According to the estimates of the investigators who had been keeping an eye on the Baldwin Group, the legal assets of the large-scale criminal syndicate led by Baldwin were in the hundreds of billions of dollars!
Baldwin had hundreds of legal companies under him, including banks, construction companies, real estate companies, radio stations, car companies, large shopping malls, and so on. It was impossible to count how much legal assets he had.
Indeed, Baldwin's crime syndicate had formed an independent kingdom.
Over the years, the Baldwin Group's power had increased. Therefore, their illegal activities in social life had become more brazen and unrestrained. This was also the reason why they had attracted so many people who came looking for them to launder money.
No one could say for sure how much wealth Baldwin had earned from the money empire built by the criminal syndicate.
There were even rumors that Baldwin's personal wealth was many times richer than his own country, Colombia!
Baldwin had once made a request to the Colombian Nation. He said that as long as the nation recognized his assets as legitimate wealth and released a few of his trusted aides, he could repay the nation's foreign debt of tens of billions of dollars!
This was something that he could easily do. As long as the country nodded and agreed to his request, no matter how much money he had, he would not be a problem!
From this, it could be seen that Baldwin's profits from drugs were uncountable.
Not long ago, Baldwin's Poison King fled to other countries because he was wanted. Baldwin made a request to the Colombian Empire to allow them to return to the Colombian Empire in the near future. In exchange, the Drug King would no longer be involved in the drug business.
Furthermore, they would not participate in political activities. In addition, they would withdraw funds from the United States to help the country survive the financial crisis.
From this point, it could be seen that Baldwin was rich and overbearing. The other most important point was that he could make the Drug King no longer participate in the drug business. This showed that they no longer needed to rely on drugs to make money.
Now, even if he did not let the drug Colombia's right-hand man do the drug business, he would not lose anything. Baldwin could still arrange for the drug Colombia to do other business.
In any case, the entire Baldwin Group now had countless businesses, and all of these businesses could make money.
The drug lords under the Baldwin Group made huge profits, and their annual cash flow was tens of billions of dollars.
In order to hide this money, they used fake names to store large amounts of cash in banks in small countries like Panama and the Bahamas.
Later, for some unknown reason, the Colombian judicial department stopped executing the agreement with the United States regarding the extradition of drug traffickers to the United States. This made everyone under the Baldwin Group even more unscrupulous and unscrupulous!
They began to transfer cash from those small countries back to the country. In a short period of time, tens of billions of dollars flowed back to the Colombian country.
All the drug lords who worked for Baldwin in the Colombian country were especially fond of squandering. They all lived extremely luxurious lives.
All kinds of luxury cars, private jets, world-famous horses, they could afford to play with anything! There were also all kinds of large manors and villas. They all liked to use this way to show off their wealth.
Baldwin was very supportive of his people doing this. This was all based on his experience. Spending money was not the main point. The main point was to gain status, face, and what one wanted.
Wealth was the most basic thing. Only with wealth could one gain a place in traditional social activities.
In the city where Baldwin started, it was drugs that brought huge profits to the city.
Because the people who came were all drug lords who liked to squander money, the hotels and entertainment venues there were very luxurious. Indoor swimming pools, tennis courts, bullfighting arenas, and other facilities were standard in any hotel.
The city was also full of high-class residential areas. Baldwin's construction company had returned to the place where he started not too long ago and built a rather luxurious apartment building. The cost of each apartment was as high as millions of dollars. Every apartment had a swimming pool on its balcony!
But anyone who was involved in the drug business, or anyone who worked for Baldwin, could afford to buy one.
What they had was money!
Baldwin's current philosophy in life was that money was paramount. As long as there was money, everything was okay. As long as there was money, anything could be done. As long as there was money, no problem was a problem.
There was no problem in this world that money could not solve. That was Baldwin's life motto.
Therefore, he was a person who only cared about money and not people. As long as it was something beneficial, he would definitely do it!
Of course, the profit he was talking about was not small profit. The profit he was talking about was big profit.
Baldwin had never encountered a problem that could not be solved with money. In the past, someone had hired an assassin to get rid of him. The assassin's gun was pointed at his head. However, Baldwin had used one sentence to solve his problem.
He told the assassin that no matter who wanted to kill him, he would be willing to pay double the price.
Thus, the assassin had become his personal bodyguard. In addition to the assassin, there were many people around him who had become his subordinates because of this situation.
Baldwin had said that US dollars could kill someone. He had said that not just once, but many times.
Facts proved that his words were right. If one stack of US dollars could not kill someone, then use two stacks. If two stacks were not enough, then use ten stacks. If ten stacks were not enough, then use one hundred stacks. If one hundred stacks were not enough, then use two thousand stacks! Sooner or later, there would be a number that would work.
Todd Baldwin had used his own means to create his own empire, his own world, and everything that belonged to him.
This guy would become a huge nightmare for Xu Yun and Lin Ge in the United States. It was a big problem that was quite difficult to solve and deal with.
Baldwin was also about to face the most difficult opponent in his life because he would see a person who could not be solved with money and face a problem that could not be solved with money.
When Baldwin's money trump card lost its final lethality, how long could he last?
At that time, Baldwin was afraid that any struggle would be meaningless. At that time, he might understand a new truth, but it was still unknown who would win.
