Chapter 27 Business
Even when Melonie opened the door of her apartment and saw the familiar furnishings in the living room, she still felt that everything was not real enough.

She changed her high heels, walked to Tommy Hawk's half-open bedroom, and looked inside. The real owner of the sharp and meticulous brain praised by Andy Nelson, Tommy Hawke at this time He was lying on the desk, greedily flipping through the books, taking notes fluently, obviously not paying attention to the sound of himself entering the door.

"How did you do it?" Melonie leaned against the door frame and watched Tommy's back silently for a long time, until he straightened up and picked up a cigarette to relax, then she opened her mouth to wake him up.

Tommy Hawk turned his head and looked at Melonie. His aunt seemed to have a richer expression than before. He said with a smile: "That guy Dennis, you already told me the result first, I didn't expect you I'll be back so late, so I ate dinner first."

"I came into contact with ninety pills of prescription drugs, which would not trigger the Controlled Substances Act. Dennis bought 150 pills, but only gave away 25 pills. Plus, as a minor, it did not trigger any mechanism. Three people handled those drugs, But only one person is responsible for the crime. You have carefully calculated these? Even the Holy Cross High School Parents Committee is your calculation?" Melonie asked Tommy Hawke straight to the point.

"Dennis said he knew the students of Holy Cross High School, so I simply asked him for help. I believed him. I'm not very good at pretending to be a bad student, but Dennis is born to be a bad student." Tommy -Hawk thought for a while, and said carefully: "If Dennis didn't say that he knew the students of Holy Cross High School, I was going to borrow his 17-year-old girlfriend and start talking to Hugh Spade, but that's another The story, it just ends roughly the same."

Melonie said with a sigh of relief: "You know, I've never seen Hugh Spade look like a weak tramp. In my impression, he is smart, strong, and enthusiastic. Vicious... Has he changed, or is he not as powerful as I thought? Seeing his distraught and embarrassed appearance, the first thought that came to me was that I would like such a embarrassed man back then. "

When Melonie saw that the police took Hugh Spade to the police station again, when the police searched the apartment with a search warrant, they searched all the negatives and photos and promised to store them in the evidence room for testimony in court and never leak them , when the lawyer contemptuously told Hugh Spade that he was ready to take on everything, when the guy couldn't even come up with the bail bond, and it was up to the single mom who broke up with him to lend him the bail bond down payment for the child's sake At that time, the image of the powerful and evil Hugh Spade in her impression completely collapsed.

"Did you know? The book my instructor gave me just says that money and violence are the most primitive vices of human beings. No matter how the world progresses and how technology develops, these two most primitive desires of human beings are the same. Nothing will change. Dealing with those opponents is very simple, skillful use of these two most primitive desires, Hugh Spade uses violence to awaken your inner cowardice, so you submit to him out of fear, I do the opposite, I use money Awakens the greed in him, so he will end up dying for money. He is indeed a strong man, but only in a certain range, when he is chosen by a stronger opponent to stand in the octagonal cage of money, he is unbearable Shot." Tommy Hawke stood up, walked past Melonie with a coffee cup, walked to the living room, went to make coffee, and said in his mouth:
"The reason he was vulnerable had nothing to do with being strong or smart, it was because of his poverty."

"So, you want to know...why did I come back so late?" Melonie turned around, looked at Tommy Hawk who was putting in coffee powder and hot water, and changed the subject with a smile.

What this big boy just said was too mature, so mature that she couldn't accept it, and she didn't know how to respond, but the feeling that her relatives were there to protect her at any time made her feel very warm.

Tommy Hawke looked at Melonie in confusion, and asked uncertainly, "Do I need to know?"

"Of course." Melonie said affirmatively, and then took out a bank appointment form from her handbag: "I went to the bank and made an appointment to go through the mortgage procedure tomorrow."

"But I haven't told you what business I want to do, you... huh~~~" Tommy Hawke looked at the appointment form with a surprised face, then looked at Melonie, and then exhaled: " Thank you for your trust, Aunt Melonie."

"So, what's the business?" Melonie walked to Tommy Hawke, picked up the coffee cup and spoon, and stirred.

"Cigarette business, at the moment two hundred nautical miles away from us, there is a tobacco processing ship working day and night." Tommy glanced at the coffee that Melonie took away, and could only turn around and make another cup for himself, by the way Tell Melonie truthfully what he heard from Will Kendrick.

Hearing that Tommy wanted to use money to buy cigarettes, Melonie's calm face tightened again: "I remember you told me that you would not do anything that violates any laws in the United States. Since when did smuggled cigarettes start Is it legal for the United States?"

"That's a question worth discussing." Tommy Hawke took a sip of coffee and said to Melonie, "As long as we don't sell these cigarettes in the United States, we won't break the law, just like that tobacco processing ship." , as long as we stop on the high seas and sell these goods, we are legal, at least not violating American laws."

Holding the coffee, Melonie stared fixedly at Tommy Hawke: "So you think those cigarette dealers will come to buy your premium products while the processing ship is moored in the high seas?"

"No, without the strength of the tobacco company, it is best not to offend the U.S. government. Although the U.S. government does not recognize high-seas transactions as illegal, we are not a tobacco company with strong confidence. The correct choice should be to put the transaction in a place where we dare not complain to the U.S. The best choice, of course, is Canada, so the correct way is, we buy the goods, go north to Canada, and complete the transaction with the buyer on the high seas near Canada. I have checked in the past few days, because the United States has no Completely abolish the death penalty, there is a problem with the extradition regulations between Canada and the United States, that is, even if we trade with the buyer of cigarettes under our real name, of course this cannot happen, this is just an assumption, assuming that the buyer knows our identity, and Canada They caught cigarette dealers afterwards and learned that we lived in Warwick, Rhode Island, and there was nothing they could do because the U.S. government ignored their complaints."

"But... Canadian law... Strictly speaking, you may violate Canadian law." Melonie opened her mouth, but found that there was nothing to say. It was indeed like Tommy said, he had already checked everything Well, the smuggling business that the American tobacco ship can do to the United States, as an American, he can also follow suit, and replace the other party with Canada, which will never dare to offend the United States.

"Talk to the US government that it is possible. The US government may have violated the laws of many countries, and no country dares to go to war against the United States. This is a world where the weak prey on the strong. I am a citizen of the United States at the moment. If I have not violated the laws of the United States, the US government will punish me. Provide due protection, do you know, Aunt Melonie, what you should worry about is not Canada, but another issue, the money earned from smuggling, you have to pay taxes to the U.S. government.” Tommy Hawk walked in with a coffee own bedroom:
"How should we pay taxes and avoid trouble from the tax department? That is the most powerful institution in the United States and the world."

　Thank you for the support of the leader Nanshan Yongberg, and I will add more to express my gratitude.

　　Tomorrow night, I will add an update for the fourth sister of the alliance leader.

　　Thank you for your support and encouragement. This is an absurd and flawed American-themed novel. In fact, it is not as good as you say. It may be that the subject matter is relatively small and there are fewer authors, which makes this book so popular. The book gets everyone's love and favor.

　　People must be self-aware, I am still far away, and I will continue to work hard.

　　thank you all.
