What is money laundering? You know it from the story. For example, a corrupt official has 5 million yuan in his hand, but he can't spend it. But he learned that someone wants to buy a lottery ticket and won 5 million yuan, and he hasn't redeemed the prize yet. The corrupt official asked someone to contact this person and said, you won 5 million yuan, you need to pay 20% tax, 1 million yuan, so how much can you redeem the prize? 4 million yuan, why don't you give me the lottery ticket and I will give you 5 million yuan. The winner saw that hey, there is an extra 1 million yuan, so what did he do? He happily accepted it. So, the corrupt official took the lottery ticket to redeem the prize and announced to the public that the 5 million yuan was the winnings.

For example, this corrupt official likes antiques, so he asked his family to buy some small things at this street stall, which are just a few dozen yuan, and then put them at home. One day, a businessman went to his house to do something. Just as he was about to give money, he waved his hand and said, "No, you have violated the discipline." Then, he saw the small ornaments on the table worth dozens of yuan. The businessman immediately understood what he meant. He reacted and said in surprise, "Hey, this is a real antique. It should be worth at least 8 million. I also like to collect it. Can you sell it to me for 8 million?" At this time, the official pretended to say, "Is this a real antique? It's obviously a small item I bought from a street stall. Since you like it so much, I will sell it to you for 8 million." Then, the official gave the official 8 million yuan and walked away with the small ornament worth only dozens of yuan. The official claimed that he was lucky. He found a treasure in the antique market last year and sold it for 8 million yuan. It was reasonable and legal. Of course, the businessman's business was done smoothly. However, these are all old-fashioned ways of money laundering. How do those who run underground casinos and telecom frauds clean their money in the end? And how can that tobacco and alcohol shop that no one goes to be in business for several years in a row? And how can some very rubbish movies become hits? How can so many people recharge money for those rubbish online games?If you understand financial logic, you will know why it is so easy for some people to make money.
