Xian Yaodong told Zhang Yu about the Ponzi scheme. Zhang Yu thought about it and said, "Changcheng Company is really a bit like a Ponzi scheme. I thought so. The interest rate is so high. 1 billion yuan of fundraising, 240 million yuan of interest per year. Can you make so much money by selling motors in a year?"
"It's not that easy. Even if Changcheng Company enjoys tax incentives and has a net profit of 240 million, its sales must be at least 1 billion."
"Didn't the newspaper say that Changcheng Company already has 1.5 billion orders?"
Xian Yaodong did not give a direct answer, but said: "Decades ago, the newspapers said that the oysters raised in Baoan were bigger than a truck."
As soon as Xian Yaodong finished speaking, Xian Xiaodong on the other side put down his chopsticks, stood up and said to Zhang Yu: "Mom, I'm done eating, let's go."
"Ride slower."
"I know."
When Xian Xiaodong replied, the person had already reached the gate.
Looking at Xian Xiaodong, Xian Yaodong felt very regretful. In the past two years, he began to realize that this adopted son could not be tamed, even though he had his surname.
"Xiaodong, Xiaoshun Yaodong, is that his real name?"
Women have a sixth sense, and men have it too, although it is a little weaker, but Xian Yaodong can still feel every little change. As Xian Xiaodong grows up day by day, Zhang Yu's attitude towards Xian Yaodong is also changing.
After dinner, the dishes were not cleared away yet and Zhang Yu made an excuse to go out. Looking at the deserted huge house, Xian Yaodong sighed, walked out of the door and came to the pier by the river.
Rain or shine, there will always be a man fishing at the pier.
"Weiqi, did you catch anything today?"
“There are no fish in the river.”
"How could there be no one else fishing except you?"
Xian Weiqi shook his head, "You don't understand."
"Okay, okay, I don't understand." How could Xian Yaodong have the same opinion as Xian Weiqi? "You sit here every day, have you seen Weimin come back?"
In the early years, Xian Yaohua rarely talked to Xian Yaodong. Later, Xian Yaohua went to his daughter-in-law's factory to guard the gate and was rarely in the village. The two communicated even less. Xian Yaodong knew that Xian Yaohua had come back for the New Year, but he was not sure whether Xian Weimin had come back.
Wenchangwei now has a bit of urban color. Each family takes care of itself and lives its own life behind closed doors. The information exchange center in the village is gone. The elderly don't like to gather outside, and they all sit in someone's yard.
“No.”
"This kid hasn't been back for several years."
Xian Yaodong was very emotional. He was asking about Xian Weimin, but in fact, there were many other names that he was thinking about, those who were sent abroad in the past and have not returned in the past few years.
The Wenchangwei Village Committee has lost its presence. Don't even think about gathering everyone together to distribute the rent at the end of the year. Everyone has to go to the village committee one by one in batches to sign and receive the money. Now the most prestigious person in the village is Niu Aihua, the women's director. She is in charge of the township's family planning work. The villagers are respectful to her on the surface, but hate her in private. The glass of Niu Aihua's house is smashed every few days.
Xian Weimin has actually returned, but he is not in the village. At this moment, Xian Weimin's family, Xian Weile's family, Ge Cuizhu and Xian Weizhong are in a restaurant in the city.
The restaurant is right next to Xian Weizhong’s Zhongzi Seafood Restaurant . The capital flow back from the health products business is fast, and Xian Weizhong has a lot of cash. Over the years, he has invested in many industries, both self-operated and with shares, mainly concentrated in Shenzhen and Hong Kong.
On the first day of the first lunar month, several people wanted to get together, but due to tradition, it was not convenient to go to any restaurant, so Xian Weizhong, as half the host, arranged for them to meet at the restaurant.
Xian Weimin put a piece of baked chicken on the plate of his wife Wu Peiyu, looked at Ge Cuizhu opposite him and said, "Aunt, the taste of the mountain is about to run out, do you have any idea to take it?"
Ge Cuizhu slowly swallowed the fried oysters in her mouth, took a sip of tea from the cup, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and then said calmly: "I would have been interested two years ago, but now I don't need it. The group has established a complete sales channel in Japan. If it weren't for the special taste of Yama no Taste, the group would have joined forces with others to suppress it long ago.
Weimin, Nanyi still values ​​his relationship with Mensaner. The fact that Shanwei can survive until now is also due to the group's intentional avoidance. In many markets in Japan, we have been avoiding Shanwei. "
"I understand. Men San'er has been working with Nan Yi for a long time, and Nan Yi still remembers the old times. Since you don't have any ideas, just let it go."
Xian Weimin only provided a piece of information, that it didn't matter whether the Reclamation Group took over Shan Nowei or not. In fact, Shan Nowei had nothing to do with Men Saner anymore and had become a non-performing asset of the bank.
Ge Cuizhu nodded and said to Wu Peiyu, "Peiyu, how is your company's business going?"
"Aunt, it's good. The company has many OEM customers in Europe and America, and the business is relatively stable. However, it has also encountered bottlenecks, and it is very difficult to break through. I have changed my mindset and registered a brand 'Songci'. I plan to start operating a women's clothing brand from this year."
"It's good to run a brand, but being an OEM means you are controlled by others. If you need investment, just let me know and let Wei Zhong invest, so he doesn't have to invest in nightclubs or bars."
When talking to Wu Peiyu, Ge Cuizhu did not forget to take advantage of the topic to criticize her son. In fact, Wu Peiyu would never be short of money. Not to mention that the Wu family has some background, Xian Weimin's money is definitely not less than Xian Weizhong's.
"Okay, Wei Zhong, I'll come to you when I need money." Wu Peiyu smiled at Xian Wei Zhong.
Xian Weizhong smiled awkwardly, "Okay, okay."
Xian Weizhong was quite depressed during the meal. As he was the youngest in seniority and age, he could only agree with others. He was used to being called Boss Xian outside, and he was a little uncomfortable with the sudden reversal of the title.
"Weile, why didn't you bring your wife back this time?" Xian Weimin said to Xian Weile.
Xian Weile: "I'm back at my parents' home to celebrate Epiphany. I'll come over in a few days."
"Then ask her to bring some Uruguayan specialties . I haven't tried them yet."
"Uruguay's local specialty is beautiful women. Do you want to bring some?" Wu Peiyu teased Xian Weimin and then said to Xian Weile: "Brother Weile, does your supermarket sell clothes?"
Xian Weile: "Yes, but they are all relatively cheap clothes, 3.9 US dollars, 7.9 US dollars, 9.9 US dollars. Summer clothes are about these prices. Winter clothes are a little more expensive, 19.9 US dollars, 39.9 US dollars."
Wu Peiyu: “Do you have any fixed partners?”
Xian Weile: “Not yet. All orders and purchases are made one quarter in advance.”
Wu Peiyu thought for a moment and said, "I'm relatively free in March, so I want to go over and do some research."
“A warm welcome.”
…
Happy New Year, Happy New Year, and more Happy New Year.
Liu Qinglong and Liu Menghu both bought houses, and the Liu family was considered to be divided. This was only the first year, and the Nan Yi family had to run to three places a day. They had noon at the mother-in-law's house, afternoon snack at Liu Menghu's house, and dinner at Liu Qinglong's house.
When I get home, my stomach is full. After a night's rest to digest the food, I continue to eat as much as I can the next day.
The second, third, fourth and fifth days of the Chinese New Year, for four consecutive days, I was either eating or drinking.
On the sixth day of the New Year, Liu Zhen slipped back to work, but Nan Yi had to stay to entertain the guests, cook, drink and wash. For several days in a row, he was either around the stove or around the dining table.
By the eleventh day of the first lunar month, everything finally calmed down and the New Year was easily manageable.
On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, after sending Nan Wuwei on the plane, Nan Yi went to our hospital.
Nan Yi hasn't been to our courtyard for a long time, as if this house has nothing to do with him. He just heard that our courtyard has become quiet now and is no longer as crowded as before. Occasionally, a few people will come here to drink tea and hot pot. This place has become a place to relax. When they get bored of the restaurants outside, they come here to get together occasionally.
There was a table, five stools, and seven people. Next to Wang Lu was Ye Chen, next to Ye Chen was Feng Kuazi, and next to Feng Kuazi was Lei Guan. As his name suggests, he was well-known for his righteousness in the literary and art circles. He took care of things that Lei Feng took care of, and even things that Lei Feng could not take care of. On the other side of Wang Lu was Ma Modu, and next to Ma Modu was Wang Zongjun, and in the past it was Zheng Xiaolong.
Nan Yi walked to the table, squeezed in between Ye Yu and Feng Kuazi, took out a bowl from the pile on the table, picked up the teapot and poured himself a bowl of tea, took a sip, and said to Ye Yu: "Why are you drinking tea from a bowl? It's a fucking chicken bowl. Which Hong Kong idiot gave it to you?"
"Why call it a chicken bowl? Call it a starting point bowl. I got it from Dongzhu. It costs more than two yuan each."
"They are being slaughtered like pigs. I bought them for only 1.6 cents a few years ago."
"How many years?"
"Seventy-seven."
"Why don't you say 1966? It will probably be cheaper then." Ye Qi said disdainfully, "Whenever you leave, my company will open at the beginning of next month. Can you make it in time?"
"If I don't hurry, I'll have to go south to buy chicken bowls in two days."
"You're a bitch." Ye Qi spat, "Why are you going to Dongxu?"
"Investigate the entertainment industry. I plan to invest in the construction of the Southern Prince Hotel there to reshuffle the entertainment industry and clean up the dirty and messy phenomena in this industry." Nan Yi said with a smile.
"You're really good at making up stories. I bought a house in Wenyu River. Can you come over to my place and stay at night?"
"Liwei Garden?"
"Um."
"Okay, let's go check out the house there. I've never been inside."
As soon as Nan Yi finished speaking, Zheng Xiaolong had already walked up to him and said, "Nan Yi, the TV series I told you about two years ago is about to start filming. The situation has changed and the funds are very tight. I hope you can support us."
"Is it something about New York?"
"Yes." Zheng Xiaolong nodded.
"Okay, I'll not only help you for free, but I'll also help you find some money."
“Product placement?”
Nan Yi nodded.
Zheng Xiaolong frowned and said, "One or two is fine, but more is not okay. I watched the TV series that Xiao Ma and the others watched. Fortunately, it was a sitcom, otherwise the show would have been ruined."
Nan Yi hugged Zheng Xiaolong and walked to a corner. "It doesn't have to be many, two or three will be enough. Is the book not changed much?"
Zheng Xiaolong: "The details have been modified a bit, but the overall framework of the story remains unchanged."
Nan Yi: "That's good. What's the name of the second female lead?"
Zheng Xiaolong: "Ah Chun."
"Yes, Achun, she smokes, so I'll help you get a cigarette advertisement, this is a bonus. Also, after the male lead becomes famous, the red wine he drinks and the house he lives in, leave these two to me, and I'll give you this amount." Nan Yi raised his index and middle fingers and made a "two" gesture.
Zheng Xiaolong: "Two hundred thousand?"
Nan Yi: "Yes, it's still Meizi."
Zheng Xiaolong: "Or Wangbei Media?"
Nan Yi: “Yeah.”
"I'll go back and ask my leader for instructions."
"become."
Chinese people are full of curiosity about foreign countries, but so far, there has not been a TV series that depicts Chinese people's lives abroad. As long as the filming is not too bad, it is inevitable that it will be a big hit. Wangbei Media can find American companies that are interested in the domestic market and charge them .
As soon as the New York street scene appeared, the streets were full of Chevrolets. If the protagonist's dialogue also included a line like "Here in America, you have to choose Chevrolet for your car," it would make the Chinese people have the impression that American cars are equal to Chevrolet. It wouldn't be excessive to charge millions of dollars for this effect, right?
If you don't give it to me, go find Cadillac.
There are many brands like this that can attract advertising, and it is not impossible to earn tens of millions (RMB).
Since Zheng Xiaolong's unit is facing a tight budget, it will be easy. They can use $200,000 to open up a gap, and then turn it into $500,000 or a million. They will definitely be tempted. As long as the advertising placement is not too invasive, this will most likely succeed.
Nan Yi returned to the table and chatted with Ma Mo for a while. He made a lot of money from "Seahorse" and collected a lot of advertising fees. After sharing the profits with Wangbei Media, he still had several million in his pocket.
Nan Yi was a little surprised that Lei Guan appeared here. After asking, he learned that it was Feng Kuzi who brought him here. He and Lei Guan had a good relationship. Their relationship originated from the fact that Feng Kuzi's daughter was going to have an operation. Lei Guan lent him 12,000 yuan without saying a word. This happened more than two years ago.
After the meeting, Nan Yi and Ye Qi walked together. Ye Qi mentioned Feng Kuazi and said, "This guy is quite boring. Last year, he and Xiaolong wrote a script and showed it to Beijing Film Academy, but they were not optimistic about it and did not plan to invest.
Feng Kuazi went to find Lei Guan, knowing that Lei Guan knew many bosses, and hoped that Lei Guan could help to attract investment. Lei Guan read the script, liked it very much, and helped to attract investment.
I heard that a boss was willing to invest in this script, and Beijing Film Academy played a trick and said they wanted to invest, and also specified 600 million for the leading role.
Originally, Feng Kuzi had promised the leading role to Lei Guan, but later the matter was dropped. Lei Guan not only did not get the leading role, but was also forced to betray the boss who wanted to invest money. "
"This time, there is a reason for what happened. Feng Kuazi doesn't have much say. In order to climb up, he naturally has to make some choices. Let's wait and see how he will deal with the detonator in the future."
"Who cares? I just don't like this guy." Ye said calmly.
Nan Yi laughed and said, "That's easy. If you don't like it, just don't get along with it. You are a capitalist now, and only others can curry favor with you. It's not your turn to curry favor with others."
"If I were a capitalist, what would you be?"
"Of course I am a calligrapher. In two years, I will learn from a famous teacher and develop a set of Southern style calligraphy. I will write inscriptions for openings everywhere. One piece of calligraphy costs 888,000 yuan. I tell you, you have to help me raise my reputation. If I write four words, 'Ye Family Child', you will have to spend 10 million yuan to buy it with tears and snot."
"Go to hell, I'll give you 50 million." Ye Qi spread out his palm and said viciously.
"About 40 million. Ten million for each word."
"You're still excited."
The two of them came to Ye's house laughing and joking and had a good drink.
The next day.
Nan Yi had dinner with Luo Qianqian again.
During the meal, Luo Qianqian talked about a mutual acquaintance of theirs, "Li Tangming is back, and he changed his name to Li Shanshou. He is still in the antique circle, but he is not like before. He seems to be very rich now."
"It seems?" Nan Yi asked in surprise.
"Yes, it seems, I heard it from other people. He didn't do anything wrong, so can I still investigate him?" Luo Qianqian asked back.
Nan Yi: "You have to go through the police station to change your name, right? Don't you have any information?"
Luo Qianqian: "I entered the country with an American passport. The name on my green card is Shanshou Lee, but I call myself Li Shanshou to the outside world."
"Oh, you went to America and got an identity. How come you seem to be rich?"
"He's been collecting antiques everywhere, and they're good stuff. He's spent a lot of money." Luo Qianqian lowered her voice and said, "I suspect he's related to an organization that sells antiques overseas. He might be responsible for collecting the goods in China."
"Can't hold his tail?"
"What can I do? There is no law in our country that prohibits cultural relics from leaving the country. They just need to be appraised and approved before they can be shown. As long as the items have not left the country, the transaction is legal. I can't just hold him down because he has a criminal record, right?"
"Then wait for him to show his true colors."
Li Tangming was the regret left by the original task force and Nan Yi. One and a half years was too easy for him. He would definitely be sentenced severely if he got the chance.
After having dinner with Luo Qianqian, the next day, Nan Yi went to Xinrongzhai after a social event at noon. He talked to Li Xiangrong about the market of antiques and also asked about Li Tangming.
The antique business in Beijing is very big, but also very small. People in the circle can more or less hear some news about celebrities in the industry. Besides, Li Xiangrong and Li Tangming have some connection.
After hearing this, Nan Yi was so shocked that he felt as sick as if he had eaten a fly.
It's an infringement, a blatant infringement. This Li Tangming actually released a message to the public, saying that he met an elderly Hollywood actress in the United States, and she fell in love with him at first sight, so he agreed. After they got married, Li Tangming took good care of the old lady for several years, and then the old lady died, leaving him a legacy of hundreds of millions of dollars. He handled the old lady's funeral, inherited the legacy and came back.
It's a trick!
Nan Yi made a phone call to New York and asked Ghost to investigate.
A few days later, Nan Yi left the capital and received the investigation report at the Fang family manor in Xiangkeng.
According to reports, there is no record of marriage registration among Hollywood stars who passed away in the past two years, and for those with assets worth hundreds of millions of dollars, the destination of their estates is very clear. There is absolutely no one named Li Tangming or Li Shanshou who received the estate. There is no report about Li Tangming in American newspapers, and no reporter knows about such a person.
In addition, we learned from the Immigration Bureau that Li Tangming obtained a green card through marriage. Following this clue, we quickly found out the identity of his wife, an old lady who is always 69 years old. On the surface, she is a teacher, but secretly she is also an antique dealer.
The old lady died of a sudden illness. She did not leave a will, nor did she designate Li Tangming as the heir to her estate. However, the old lady's assets worth over 20 million US dollars, including securities, oil paintings, Eastern and Western antiques, etc., fell into Li Tangming's hands. Now, the old lady's son is hunting down Li Tangming all over the United States.
"I think the IRS is taking it for a fool. A Chinese who just got his identity approved wants to inherit a large estate. Has he paid the estate tax?"
Nan Yi closed the email window and sorted out his thoughts. This old lady was most likely someone on the online team of Lou Xiaoyuan’s foreign partner who sold antiques. Li Tangming might have had contact with her before, or even conducted transactions with her. Maybe she really had a good impression of Li Tangming, or maybe she just wanted to keep a pawn as there was a big business to be done later.
It's just that the old lady, no, the old Bangcai couldn't bear the secret love at her age, or maybe Li Tangming used some means to kill her.
After sorting out his thoughts, Nan Yi picked up the phone and called Stephen Adelson, Scarlett's mother's second husband and a Las Vegas casino tycoon.
The investigation report also noted that Li Tangming had frequently gone to Las Vegas. He must have gone there to gamble, and he didn't need to go so far to find women.
"Hi Stephen, I'm Adam."
"Hi Adam, this is the first time you've reached out to me."
"Ahaha, you know, our identities are rather awkward with each other, so..."
"I understand. So, what are you calling me about?"
"I want to inquire about a person, a Chinese American named Shanshou Lee."
"Gambler?"
"It should be."
"Where are you from?"
“San Francisco.”
"Adam, if this Shanshou Lee is a big gambler, I have a record here. If not, I can only apologize."
Casinos usually collect information from gamblers who have the potential to become big customers. This is conducive to better serving big customers. When big customers need to sign a bill, the amount that can be granted can be calculated quickly. Facial recognition technology has been used in casinos for thousands of years.
"It's okay. I'll wait for your news."
"OK, I'll call back in twenty minutes at most."
After hanging up the phone, Nan Yi took out a Young and Dangerous comic book from the bookshelf and started reading.
Just after I saw it, the phone rang.
"Adam, you're lucky. Shanshou Lee is a big client of mine. He spent a total of $4.27 million. He still owes me $500,000, which is overdue. My people are looking for him."
"Don't look for him anymore. He is no longer in the United States."
"Uh-huh, can you tell me why you want to investigate him?"
"A few years ago, I assisted the Chinese police in investigating a case in which he was one of the suspects and the only one who escaped a proper trial."
"So, he considers you his enemy?"
"Maybe, I didn't see him as an enemy before, but now I do, because he has $20 million in assets."
"He's a gambler," Stephen Adelson said lightly.
"Stephen, thanks for the reminder. Maybe you can double your half a million."
"OK, I'll wait for your good news."
After hanging up the phone again, Nan Yi retrieved the passport photo of Li Tangming sent from New York, printed out a copy, put it aside, called Ye Qi, and asked him for Li Chengnuo's phone number.
"Old Li, what's up?"
"Master Nan, we're playing cards. What's up?"
"It's okay. I'm in Macau right now. I'll give you a call and try. If the call doesn't go through, you're in Macau too. You'll have someone to keep you company."
"No, I plan to fly over there in a few days. Master Nan, how's your luck?"
"I just arrived and haven't started work yet. This is my first time here and I feel uncomfortable without anyone I know. You fly here often, so you don't come here alone, do you have any friends here? I'd like to meet you."
"No, the people flying with me are all foreign exchange dealers, and they are all in Beijing... Oh, no, there is also a guy who deals in antiques. I met him a few times in Macau, but I am not familiar with him, so I won't introduce him to Master Nan."
Nan Yi's eyes lit up and he said, "I'm familiar with the antique business. Tell me the name and I'll see if I recognize it."
"My name is Li Shanshou. I just came back from the United States."
"Li Shanshou... Hey, that's embarrassing. I've never heard of this guy. Forget it, I'll just kill him like Zhao Zilong. I'll kill him all by myself. Wait for the news. In less than three days, you'll hear that the casino in Macau has closed down."
"Hahaha, Master Nan, kill them all without leaving a single piece of armor."
"I'll give you a good omen. Go ahead and have fun. I won't bother you any more."
Nan Yi picked up the photo he had just printed and handed it to the school beauty: "Give it to Hu Xuyong, and ask him to go to Macau to find out how much Li Tangming lost."
"clear."
After the school beauty came back from her work, Nan Yi went out to meet Ruan Mei, and the two of them took a yacht to Macau.
"This is a promissory note from Southland Bank for $500 billion. I want to see your cards."
After strolling around the street and filling their stomachs with crab porridge, Nan Yi and his companion returned to the yacht and directed and starred in "God of Gamblers 1993".
"Humph, I have no money."
"It's okay if you don't have money. Just put your clothes on me and I'll take it as yours."
"Nan, you are going too far." Ruan Mei slammed the table, stood up and shouted angrily: "Okay, the clothes are 500 billion, and I will put on the pants, which will be 700 billion bigger than yours."
“Hahahaha, I have a straight flush, and you dare to beat me.” Nan Yi laughed three times towards the sky, then his face drooped, “I don’t have any money either.”
"No money for sex." Ruan Mei said, lifting the cards on the table, "I have a pair of mistresses, open your cards and come to see me."
Nan Yi picked up the cards, opened them and slammed them heavily on the table, sneering: "Women are women after all. A pair of mistresses want to steal chickens. Three, four, five, six, nine, two-color straight flush, you lose. "
"Boring, boy, can you be serious?"
Nan Yi shook his head and said, "No, you know I don't like gambling, and I can't take it seriously if the bet is so big. It's still early, you can change the script and we can continue."
"Change the script..." Ruan Mei's eyes lit up, "I'll play the female pervert, you play the victim, and the rest is up to you."
"You still want to make a movie called 'The Yacht'?"
"I haven't tried it before, so let me try it today. That's it, I'll go get the axe, and you put some ketchup on yourself." Ruan Mei said, and went to find the toolbox excitedly.
Nan Yi shook his head and sighed, "This is getting more and more weird."
Two days later, Hu Xuyong's investigation results came out. Li Tangming flew to Macau quite frequently and often went in and out of three gambling halls. He lost a total of more than 3 million Hong Kong dollars, but he currently has no debts.
After confirming that Li Tangming was a veteran gambler, Nan Yi relaxed . He knew that if he kept gambling, he would lose. As long as Li Tangming continued to gamble, it would only be a matter of time before he lost all his money and owed a large debt. He asked Hu Xuyong to check on Li Tangming's progress in losing money every once in a while. Nan Yi put the matter aside and started to study the matter of Master Fan and Fang's distilled water entering the mainland.
The brand of Fang's distilled water is called "Happy Water". The expansion plan in the mainland is relatively simple. First, set up a factory and then promote it slowly. However, there are some considerations on where to set up the first factory.
