Chapter 440 Are They All Here?
443. Are they all here?
After studying the art of "black and white" for a whole night, Tang Wen was very satisfied when he looked at the pile of photos and videos in his digital camera.
Although he is not a professional "photographer", Tang Wen finally understands why men like cameras, especially digital high-definition cameras, which are a must for men.
Especially the scene of the two people "making a phone call" while "working" last night was very "exciting". Tang Wen felt that he could definitely win the Best Photography Award.
After saving the spoils of the digital camera, Tang Wen got dressed and prepared to go downstairs for dinner. As for Cai Wen and Zhong Jiao? Poor them are still "recovering from their injuries".
This has to praise Yang Qi's "considerateness". Not only are there a lot of photography props, but even some special small toys are all available. He is very "sensible".
After going downstairs, Tang Wen was almost scared by the sea of people in front of him.
"What's going on? So many people at once?" Tang Wen called JA to ask.
JA explained to Tang Wen: "Boss, these are all here to audition for a movie."
"Audition for a movie? How come I don't know?" Tang Wen was a little puzzled.
Through JA's explanation, Tang Wen realized that it was Yang Qi who told Da Fei what happened yesterday. Then Da Fei had an idea and set up a film and television foundation with Yang Qi for 5 billion investment.
Da Fei's financial company funded a foundation in cooperation with Yang Chen's Yingwei Entertainment Company, which will take out 1 billion Chinese yuan every year for film and television investment.
After Yang Qi received the notice, he asked someone to prepare a notice overnight to announce this year's investment opportunities in the Hilton conference room.
"Damn, when did Da Fei become so rich?" Tang Wen was a little speechless. Tang Wen usually let his younger brothers go. As long as they could make money for him, Tang Wen was too lazy to care about them.
"Boss, you'd better ask Mr. Zhou about this. He will be here soon." JA said with a smile.
After a while, Zhou Xu hurried to Tang Wen and explained the whole story to him. It turns out that in the past few months, Dafei has been thriving in Hong Kong with the funds provided by Tang Wen.
In just a few months, Dafei's funds have increased more than 10 times from 500 million Chinese yuan. Now Dafei Financial Company has more than 3 billion yuan in its account, and a large amount of company equity.
"Is lending and mortgage so profitable?" Tang Wen was speechless.
Zhou Xu explained: "Yes, boss, because they are all the highest interest rates. Some companies that don't pay back the loan will be acquired by Dafei at a low price, and then packaged and sold to some companies in need in the mainland. There are also some very good incomes in Southeast Asia. However, recently the accounts in Hong Kong have been separated from those in Southeast Asia."
"I see." Tang Wen nodded, looking like he understood.
Why do we say that finance makes money? This is an example.
For example, if the normal market price of Wang Xiuxiu's company is around 1 billion, it will take at least 1 billion to acquire it, but her company owes a lot of loans to the bank, and recently asked Dafei to borrow money. After a high-quality company went bankrupt, the bank and Dafei will have priority to buy it.
In order to get the money back, banks usually choose cash, but shareholders have the priority to buy, so such companies are often bought by Dafei at a low price.
Of course, there are also those who want to share in the profits, but in terms of funds, Dafei is second to none, and no private person dares to be first. Moreover, Dafei is a very discerning person, and he is eyeing companies that are needed in the mainland.
First, shareholders buy at a low price, and then sell them to companies in mainland China at a very "reasonable" price. Because many companies in Hong Kong are controlled by foreign capital, it is illegal for banks to resell directly.
But it is different after Dafei's hands. He secretly sells some precision instruments to China, and when the things are almost sold, he will set up a shell company for buyers in mainland China to list.
This will not only strengthen China's strength, but also leave a good reputation, which is really killing two birds with one stone.
Even if foreign capital allows the company in Hong Kong to file for bankruptcy, Dafei will be the first purchaser. As long as the company is in hand, are you afraid that there is no way to ship it back?
Adding the interest on the loan, the small seed that Tang Wen planted in Hong Kong has now become a small sapling.
That's why Da Fei can always take out so much money to cooperate with Yang Chen's company. But what Tang Wen didn't expect was why there were so many people here? And there were many familiar old faces.
"Boss, you don't know yet? Now Hong Kong artists are almost poor. That Cai Fenfen is still living in a small house of 50 square meters, and that Li Xiangxiang, Guan Zelin and Zhang Xiaoyu are all back."
"What's going on? Why are so many Hong Kong artists coming here?" Tang Wen asked curiously.
Zhou Xu said mysteriously: "Boss, you don't know, most of them can't afford to live now."
"Oh? What's the situation?" Tang Wen raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, is there any hidden secret in this?
In fact, it's not as simple as Tang Wen thought. With the rise of China's chips this time. The Western market collapsed a lot at once, even Europe, which has always been "calm", is now "turbulent".
Some artists who once immigrated found sadly that their savings could not keep up with their consumption. In order to ensure that the unemployment rate is not affected by strikes and marches, the government has imposed a lot of taxes on middle-level people.
Why don’t Western countries dare to take action against the upper class? You must be kidding. They themselves are one of them. How could they possibly cut their own leeks?
So the middle-class families became their targets, such as land tax, personal tax, insurance, medical and other taxes soared.
The lower-class people in the West have no feelings about this, anyway, they don't have a house, as for insurance? Haha, just kidding, just buy the lowest one, personal tax? This thing has nothing to do with them.
The artists who went to the West to buy big houses to "enjoy their old age" were dumbfounded. The tax that originally only cost tens of thousands of US dollars a year suddenly became hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, which is a bit scary.
After adding some food, clothing, housing, transportation and labor expenses, they sadly found that their money was rapidly reaching the bottom. Most of these people's income comes from properties in Hong Kong, but recently the property prices in Hong Kong have plummeted and their pockets have also quickly reached the bottom, so they have to return to China to continue to make money.
This is why Tang Wen can see so many "familiar" artists here.
"Looking at this, there are still many banana people." Tang Wen laughed.
Zhou Xu smiled and replied, "Don't worry, boss. They won't be able to jump around for long. Recently, the European Federal Reserve and the United States have jointly increased taxes. Now the land tax has almost doubled. People like them who have bought several houses probably can't even pay the property fees."
"Oh? Are the United States and the European Federal Reserve doing something weird again?" Tang Wen laughed.
Zhou Xu nodded and said, "Yes, boss. Since the last time Ethereum asked for help, the Ethereum consortium in the United States and the people in the European Union have put pressure on Ethereum to lend money. They don't have money and dare not print more, so they can only increase taxes."
"Then there will be a good show to watch." Tang Wen said with a smile while standing upstairs and looking at the people below.
