Chapter 925, National Ponzi(2/2)

At this time, the government's bad habits are fully revealed. Privacy can promote economic development, but the corrupt government vigorously promotes privatization and sells large amounts of state-owned assets. These are all selling the blood of the country to make itself prosperous on the surface. What's more, government officials are corrupt, and most of the money is useless at all. Soon, state-owned assets are gone and state-owned banks are gone.

It is at this critical moment that the "doctor" still wants to realize the economic policies he implemented when he came to power, and also wants the people to see that the country is still thriving. Only in this way can he firmly grasp power and firmly grasp the presidential throne.

The "doctor" introduced a new policy, and he began to change his mind, thinking about using the people's money to revitalize the economy. This is undoubtedly killing chickens and getting eggs. The people's wealth is the last bottom line of the country and the last saving power of a country. If there is a problem with this batch of wealth, there will be no room for recovery.

The "doctor" does not understand this principle, or does not care at all, or pretends to be confused when he understands it. Anyway, as long as he can protect the power in his hands, poverty and hunger have nothing to do with him. If he starves thousands of miles away, he will not die from his family.

Albania issues funds to the public through private equity funds, promising high returns and guarantees the country's credibility.

High returns often face high risks, and no one can guarantee it. Private equity funds of all sizes appear, and overwhelming publicity and the constant news of people getting rich overnight reached people's ears. People are moved and then put into action, and people's money is deposited into these funds.

At the beginning, private equity funds used the money raised to start various businesses, hoping to repay the people's principal and interest through profits. But not long after, the taste changed. What business can make money faster than directly raising funds?

A large amount of funds attracts more private equity funds to be born. Under competition, it has become the norm if you dare to promise a monthly interest rate of 30%, but I dare to call 50%. If you deposit 10,000 les in a private equity fund, you can get 5,000 les in an interest rate of 5,000 les in a month. The interest rate is generous and the state guarantees are also guaranteed. Who has ever seen the country deceive its citizens?

Whoever doesn’t vote will be a fool!!!

Private equity funds no longer care about whether the promise of higher returns exceeds the limit they can bear. They no longer aim to borrow chickens to lay eggs, but simply want more funds and more wealth from the people.

Behind the high returns promised by private equity funds is nothing more than tearing down the east wall and filling the west wall, and using the money from new users to pay the money from old users, a Ponzi scheme was born.

It may not be accurate to say this. There are Ponzi schemes everywhere in life, but some are relatively low-end, ranging from three to five months to three to five years, and they will collapse in three to five years; some are high-end, repairing, dismantling, making up for everything, making sweet talk, cheating, keeping the golden man silent, killing the chicken to warn the monkey, confusing the public, abandoning the car to protect the coach, and so on. The big pang is a small pang, and the small pang is a big pang, and the scam can last for decades, or even generations.

The people of Albania are very simple. They have just emerged from the planned economy and are very eager for a better market economy. However, they have no understanding of the laws of the market economy. They cannot see clearly the simple truth of "high risk and high return" and will only trust unconditionally.

Behind the private equity funds endorsed by the government, in the seemingly prosperous deception, the fanatical money and trust in the government, more people don’t like to take out their wife’s books, coffin books, or even sell real estate, land, and spend all their money to buy funds, and fight for a tomorrow that seems to be without any risks. No one realizes that this is a standard "Ponzi scheme".

It seems that no one realizes that there are not many. At least those government officials and diplomats from other countries in Albania can understand it. They also participated in fundraising, but in a short time, they took the money away and put it in the pocket.

Nowadays, many people of this type have participated in private equity fund activities, but the way of participation has changed greatly. They have adopted the "golden sentence" subscription model, verbally said that they have deposited millions or tens of millions of leks in a certain private equity fund, and they will receive monthly interest on time by the end of the month; there is also a model of technology investment, injecting advanced technology into private equity funds to "get money abroad" and regularly receive a considerable dividend.

The fundraising model is still in full swing in Albania, but some people at the bottom find problems. Naturally, some people go to private equity funds to get their money back, some people get the money back smoothly, and some people not only fail to get the money back, but are also warned and beaten, and some are even thrown into a bunker.

The bunkers everywhere in Albania buried all the people in it, and no one was embarrassed to say it was too crowded against their will.

Although the Ponzi scheme has not yet collapsed and Albania seems peaceful on the surface, the invisible corner has long been undercurrents. Many people have begun to migrate abroad. Human trafficking organizations that have been operating for more than ten years have become more rampant. In the past, they used fraud to deceive women from remote rural areas to work abroad, but now it has been changed to a robbery, or even a tribute system. The village has to hand over several women regularly, otherwise they will face cruel revenge.

With the dividends of population trading, the strength of Albanian criminal organizations has been extremely inflated in Greece, Italy and France, becoming one of the criminal forces of the Three Kingdoms that cannot be underestimated and has also become a factor of social instability.

After the expansion of strength, the Albanian criminal gangs were naturally not satisfied with only engaging in the population trading industry. They should know that organ trading is still in its infancy and the demand is not large. Women being sold can only use flesh and meat business to make meager profits. Moreover, in order to control them, they have to use expensive drugs, which are expensive and have a lot of losses.

With drug injections and overtime work day and night, prostitutes age very quickly. They can also pick up some high-end customers at the beginning. After a year and a half, they can only send them to the construction site. They go to the black factory for small profits and quick turnover, increase drug addiction, increase task volume, and greatly reduce value. Prostitutes will soon die again.

For criminal organizations, raising prostitutes earns hard money, which is not as profitable as drugs, arms, counterfeit banknotes and other businesses. Transformation into new fields is the goal of Albanian primary criminal organizations.

However, transformation cannot be transformed by just turning. Any profitable field is not fierce. If you directly turn to compete with other forces, you can only be beaten to death. You cannot turn too directly. You can only start with peripheral businesses, such as transportation, troubleshooting, etc.

In Paris and Marseille, there are a group of Albanians who specialize in solving problems for others. They have good reputations and are always unrestrained. They will do things after receiving the money.

After listening to Nan Yi's instructions, Yazhenni asked the frog man to disguise himself and meet a person who specializes in agency business and tell the person his demands. The other party will find a suitable person to complete the work, and the person who places an order and executes the order will not meet. Everything is communicated in the middle through the intermediary. The intermediary charges a considerable agency fee, but it must also be absolutely confidential and have a high task completion rate.

The intermediary found by Frog Man has been engaged in intermediary business for more than ten years and has not yet fallen because he is cautious enough that he does not accept tasks that should not be taken, his mouth is tight, and he will not say anything that should not be said. Of course, the fees are not expensive, and all his customers are often rich people who have high requirements for confidentiality and are not short of money.

He left Gu Junhao's information and a Moroccan phone number. After paying the deposit, the frog disappeared into the night. Before the matter was over, he would go on vacation and would not stay in Paris.

...

If you cannot obtain spiritual pleasure or material benefits through display, there is no need to show off in front of strangers.

Nan Yi thought so and did the same.

The restaurant he booked was not luxurious and it was not considered a price loss. The average consumption of 35 US dollars per person was almost the same as hiring one or two waiters on the street in China, not just the level of a small restaurant in a couple's room.

At the same time, he did not try to grab the "consolation" work. Apart from a few main creative staff, he should not have any chance to have any contact with other personnel in the crew in the future. Instead of gaining useless verbal thanks and becoming a topic of conversation for everyone to have dinner, it is better to let Zheng Xiaolong arrange it, and everyone's favor accounts are better kept on him.

There are only four people in the restaurant. The producer director is not here today. The two people who are the most familiar to Nan Yi are Zheng Xiaolong and Jiang Wen. The three of them plus Gong Xue are the same table.

Jiang Wen ate a few steaks, picked up the cigarette on the ashtray, took a sip, "Nan Yi, I plan to shoot a movie, but the money for the movie has not yet been settled."

Nan Yi took the wine glass and took a sip, put it down and said slowly: "Your girlfriend has some solutions in Xiangwu, and let her take you to Xiangwu film and television circle to find investors. I am a person who clearly distinguishes friendship and transactions. If you encounter something, come to me to borrow money. I can lend you any more.

You want me to invest in your filming, this is business. No one will lose money when doing business. In order to ensure that I can make money, I will inevitably point fingers and interfere in your creation.

You are too strong in character and can't listen to others. I am just a businessman. I don't have much insight into art and have no feelings or respect for movies. If you don't let me, I won't let me go. We both will definitely do it.

So, for you, I am not a good investor. I first think of ways outside. It is best to find funds. If you can’t find them or find them, then go to Gong Xue. I will help you with this."

Nan Yi said so thoroughly that Jiang Wen, who knew his family's affairs, didn't say much, but just picked up the wine glass and said, "I thank you in advance."

After Nan Yi and Jiang Wen had a glass, they said to Zheng Xiaolong: "The male and female protagonists just arrived in New York. Did they film the scene at the airport?"

Zheng Xiaolong replied: "Not yet, David said he is coordinating with the airport and going to the airport for real shots."

"Can you add some scenes? The male and female protagonists brought too much luggage. They were asked by the airport security to check. They opened a large suitcase and came to a close-up. The box was full of instant noodles with Master Fan. The airport security asked what this was. Jiang Wen replied: Instant noodles, Master Fan instant noodles, Chinese people love to eat it. Do you understand if you eat it?"

"Yes, add more money." Zheng Xiaolong said with a smile.

Nan Yi said playfully: "Old Zheng, you've gotten into the money, let's forget about money. Send the woman away later. I'll take your men to the stripper bar. After watching the performance, I'll send one more to each person."

"Go to you, give me some more. The leader above was taught a market economy class by you and Gong Xue. Now he is full of advertising and making money by using Miko. If it weren't for me, I would have kicked you out of your own advertising."

"Stop, do you think advertising is so easy to pull off. Chevrolet's advertising fee was paid first by Wangbei Media. I don't know if I can get the money or not. The other advertisements are all for my face. If your drama is not well rated and I lose money, I will travel as far as I can. Let me see you in Beijing, and I will cut you once."

"Haha, don't wait. Just chop him now and cut Zheng to death. I can plan to usurp the throne and become a director." Jiang Wen laughed.

Nan Yi stirred up the flames and said, "Old Zheng, I will definitely not be able to bear it if I change it. Tomorrow, I will arrange a scene where Jiang Wen is beaten by passers-by. I will play a guest appearance as a passerby. If he doesn't get rid of his two front teeth, I don't want you to pay."

Zheng Xiaolong: "Okay, don't use your hands, just use an iron rod to knock him out all his teeth."

Nan Yi: "Old Zheng, you are more cruel than me, just do that."

"What iron rod should I use? Just use the gun, it's better."

The three of them were laughing here, and Feng Pants at the other table looked at each other from time to time, and the corners of their eyes showed the urgent desire to integrate. Unfortunately, this is a Western restaurant, and there is no atmosphere of toasting each other on the table.

After the dinner, Nan Yi sent Gong Xue to the hotel, settled the people, and immediately returned to Scarlett Manor.

The next day, when I arrived in Hollywood, Nanyi went to Beverly Hills to take a look at the land, and had lunch with Barry Diller, the president of 20th Century Fox.

"Barry, what are the plans for 20th Century Fox in the near future?"

When Nanshi sold 20th Century Fox and TV Network, it fully took care of Barry Diller's feelings and interests. Not only was the new owner recognized by Barry Diller, but he also gave him more money when dividing the accounts. Therefore, Nanyi and Barry Diller could also sit together and have a happy meal.

“Big plan?”

"Yes."

"There is one, James' "The True Lies", and James gave a production budget of $100 million." Barry Diller shrugged, "Adam, you know, it's impossible for James to not exceed the budget, I'm in a difficult situation."

"James' movies are still guaranteed. Barry, I'm looking for you this time to introduce you to a media company, and they want to insert advertisements in a big investment project."

"Your company?"

“I have shares.”

Barry Diller nodded, "No problem, you can talk."

"Dinner tomorrow?"

“Ok.”

After the matter was finalized, the two of them changed to talk about some relaxed topics.

Nan Yi came to Hollywood for "The True Lies". The little things that "The True Lies" was released in China were personally experienced in his previous life, and his memory was very clear. The heroine Helen can be said to be his sexual enlightenment teacher.

From the plot point of view, "The True Lies" is not a good film, but the scene in AV8b (the Harrier fighter introduced and produced by MacDonald Douglas) is very shocking. Many Chinese people only know that there is a fighter that can take off and land vertically through this film.

In addition, the heroine Helen was wearing exposed clothes and that dance brought sensory impact to many people. During that period, the male compatriots always had dry mouths and dry mouths were an epidemic.

Since the late 1980s, videotapes between Schwarzenegger and Stallone have entered the country through smuggling channels, and there is also a bonus for the "Double Dragon" game. Schwarzenegger has a good box office appeal in China.

Nan Yi remembers it very clearly that in 1995, when "The True Lies" was first released, the scalpers sold the price of movie tickets to 80 yuan each. Because it was the first blockbuster film introduced, it also cost 30 yuan each to buy tickets at the ticket window, which is very expensive.

Even after a period of screening and the popularity has passed, the ticket price is still much more expensive than that of ordinary movies.

Although "The True Lies" is not the earliest Hollywood film introduced in China, it is the creator of the concept of "American blockbuster". After "The True Lies", the four words "American blockbuster" were only mentioned.

Inserting Master Fan’s advertisements into "The True Lies" may not bring much reward in the short term, but they can improve Master Fan’s personality. Moreover, in the long run, this advertising investment will have a far-reaching impact on Master Fan.
