Chapter 946 942 Ponzi Scheme

Chapter 946 942. Ponzi Scheme

At first glance, this name is unfamiliar.

But I vaguely feel that I have heard this name somewhere.

He continued to read the content.

"Wu Qianli is a soldier, a very pure soldier. A rough man, he knows how to read, but not many. He has a stubborn temper..."

Seeing this description, Xu Xin nodded slightly.

He likes this style of writing very much.

No need for too many fancy words, just get to the point, and establish the image of a character through a dozen words.

Subconsciously glanced at the document.

6231 words.

I thought to myself, wow, it's not even as many words as a chapter of an online novel.

At this time, his phone "dinged".

He picked it up and saw that someone had added him.

[Lan Xiaolong]: Hello, Director Xu, I'm Lan Xiaolong.

Xu Xin went through directly, took the initiative to send an emoji to greet him, and said:

"Teacher Lan, I am reading your story. We will communicate later."

No matter how senior Lan Xiaolong is, he should give face to Duan Yihong, the introducer.

"Okay."

The other party replied very quickly.

Then, the two stopped communicating.

Xu Xin lit a cigarette and began to read the story quietly.

He actually read very quickly, and it took him only ten minutes to finish the first reading of the whole story.

But...

War story during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea?

He directly Baidu "Changjin Lake", and then Baidu again.

When he saw the sentence [forcing the U.S. ace troops to experience the "longest retreat" in history], his eyes moved.

After reading the general summary of this battle on the encyclopedia, he integrated this story into his mind.

Then he nodded secretly.

This story is not bad.

This is his evaluation.

But how interested is he?

In fact, it is not that.

First of all, this story is very mainstream, and since it is the mainstream, there is a set of unwritten rules in the film and television industry.

For example, the image must be positive, and it must reflect the strength of our army, etc.

Many anti-Japanese dramas now actually "magnify" this unwritten rule, but the scale is not well grasped, so they come up with famous scenes such as "pulling a grenade from the crotch" and "killing the devils with one shot from 800 miles away".

He does not resist the mainstream, after all, this is also a credit.

But...

He is a director. To make a movie, he not only looks at the story, but also the script. He wants to understand the screenwriter's ideas and thinking from it, and then combine his own ideas to see if he can collide with the kind of spark that makes him excited.

And now this story is too thin.

It's like a running account. Cause, process, and ending.

But it doesn't make people feel very moved.

I can only say that after learning about "The Battle of Changjin Lake"... Just looking at the encyclopedia, you can feel how "cute" those most lovely people were back then, and he thinks this is a very good running account.

The writing is concise and sophisticated.

The story is also strong.

But as for making a movie... He hasn't seen the script yet, so it's hard to say.

After thinking for a while in front of the computer, he clicked on Yang Mi's QQ and wrote on it:

"Teacher Lan, I have finished reading the story and have learned about the general situation of "The Battle of Changjin Lake". My evaluation is that the story is very good, but whether it can be made into a movie depends on you to construct the script. At present, if it is shot purely from the perspective of Wu Qianli, there are not many things that can be extended, and it is a very monotonous movie.

If possible, I hope you can highlight several supporting roles when constructing the script, not just the villains of the US military, but also some... "people" who can make ordinary people more emotional.

And, since it is from the perspective of Wu Qianli, then I hope to move towards the "rough but delicate" Go in this direction. Don't be deliberately sensational. When you are writing the script, you can refer to "blank space" and only write out the heroism of the positive characters, leaving the rest of the blank space for the director to express.

The overall story is very complete and respects historical facts. However, I think you need to pay attention to the intention at the beginning of the script. Do you want to describe a big scene or "a corner of the war"?

I think you need to weigh the weight of these two points in the story structure to prevent the script from being reversed after it is created. If there is no "Wu Qianli" or "Changjin Lake", it will be inappropriate. The above is my idea for your reference. "

After writing it, he sent it directly to Yang Mi.

Then he switched to QQ on his mobile phone, copied the words he sent to his wife, and sent them to Lan Xiaolong.

This way, he doesn't need to log in to WeChat on the computer, and he doesn't have to scan the code.

It's very troublesome.

At this time.

"Ding."

The wife's QQ replied "?".

Xu Xin was too lazy to respond.

After sending it to Lan Xiaolong, he put the story in the "Not bad" folder on his desktop.

Conservatively speaking, there are at least 30 or 40 such stories.

Most of them are from friends who want him to take a look.

He usually won't refuse such requests, but he will rarely say things like "This story is good, let me shoot it?"

After finishing the story, he continued to work on his own things.

Until Lan Xiaolong responded.

"Okay, thank you Director Xu. This story is still in its initial stage, and I think there are still many places to be extended and modified. In addition, there are still a lot of historical facts that need to be verified and investigated. Then I will send it to Director Xu after I finish the first version of the script?"

Seeing this message, Xu Xin replied:

"Okay, no problem."

"Please trouble Director Xu."

"You're welcome."

The chat ended here.

And Xu Xin put down his phone, looked at the script of "Silent Violence" in front of him, and suddenly returned to the computer desktop.

Re-created a folder: [Main Theme]

Then moved the story of "Changjin Lake" out and changed the name to "Changjin Lake-Lan Xiaolong".

Moved the manuscript directly into the [Main Theme] folder.

The main theme is not mandatory, but... there are always some special years that need to be used.

This story is not bad, if there is a need, you can consider it.

After getting all this done, he continued to start his ordinary morning.

In the afternoon, Wang Sicong sent the ring over.

Not with Wei.

Xu Xin was happy:

"What's the matter? Break up?"

"..."

Not only did he return the silver ring, but he also bought a Van Cleef & Arpels diamond bracelet for his honey to express his gratitude. The young master's mouth twitched.

Then his eyes turned:

"Hey? Isn't that the flower pot you bought for 200,000 yuan?"

"..."

Xu Xin looked at the flower pot on the windowsill that had already planted a pine and cypress potted plant, and felt that the boomerang had finally hit back.

He took the ring unhappily and put the box of the bracelet on the windowsill.

He had already decided that when his wife came back, he would say that he was the one who gave her the bracelet that almost blinded her eyes in the sun.

Then, he took the cigarette handed to him by Wang Sicong, and the two of them sat on the small stool in the yard and lit it.

"Huh...what's up?"

Hearing his question, Wang Sicong said with a smile:

"My mom asked me to go to Shanghai to celebrate the Lantern Festival tomorrow."

"Take Brother Qi with you?"

"Yes."

The eldest young master nodded:

"We talked a lot after we went back last night. She insisted on signing a prenuptial agreement with me, and I agreed."

"It's normal. She doesn't want you to have any concerns."

"Yes, I know...we talked for a long time last night. Then...she also said that it's up to me when to get married. As long as both families agree, she has no objection. Hehehe..."

"Then wait for the second half of the year."

"Why?"

"Lunzi's concert was over in the first half of the year, and there was nothing to do in the second half of the year, so let him hold another one."

"Hahahahahaha..."

The eldest young master, who was in a good mood, showed him a very simple platinum ring and laughed happily.

Xu Xin also saw the ring.

In fact, the styles of men's wedding rings are similar, and the main thing is to be comfortable to wear on a daily basis.

Then Wang Sicong said:

"I also told her that prenuptial agreement is fine. But it is limited to Wanda... I have all the properties I have now, whether it is Tianlai or other... I said I will fill in your name."

"Did Brother Qi agree?"

"Rejected."

"..."

Xu Xin thought, aren't you talking nonsense?

"Who manages your money?"

"She manages it."

"Do you usually ask her for money when you spend money?"

"...???"

Xu Xin looked at him with a look of "What kind of idiot are you":

"I don't usually spend money."

Then he started to pick his fingers:

"She buys my clothes, cigarettes, tea, mobile phones... I'm going to tell you something you may not believe."

"What?"

"My credit cards are all her secondary cards. Because I forgot to pay my credit card twice and it was overdue, she helped me cancel the credit card. I am using her secondary card now, and she pays it back every month."

"..."

Wang Sicong's mouth began to twitch wildly.

Then...

"But I have some private money."

Xu Xin took out his phone and fiddled with it for a few times, letting him take a look.

Wang Sicong looked down and saw...hundreds, hundreds of thousands...

More than 450,000.

It doesn't matter how much money it is...he is just curious:

"What is this?"

"My salary card!"

For some reason, when talking about this, Xu Xin began to be very excited:

"Do you know how much money I can save? My current salary at Xiying is 9,200 yuan a month, which just increased last year...and then, all the salary for the past few years is in this card, and I haven't touched a cent!"

"..."

This is what Wang Sicong said.

No matter how he listened to it, he felt something was wrong.

Because he heard a sense of showing off.

It was as if he was saying "I have a salary, don't you?"

"And I still have five social insurances and one housing fund, and I still have money in my housing provident fund!"

"..."

"Nine thousand is reimbursed for a medical treatment of 10,000 yuan!"

"..."

"I can't spend it all! I can't spend it all!"

"Okay, what are you showing off?"

Wang Sicong pushed his phone away in a bad mood, and then asked:

"What about the other money?"

"I don't know."

"... Don't know?"

"Yes. She has it all. Every year, the dividends from the real estate company, the movie dividends, and other miscellaneous money are all with her."

Naturally, Wang Sicong would not be stupid enough to think that Lao Xu was a strict henwife.

Even though this situation seems to be the same as that of many married people, it is also fundamentally different.

Lao Xu is an exception. Normally, everyone lets the wealth team manage money...

At the very least, he knew that Dami had its own financial management team.

There are levels of management of money.

but……

"Brother Qi doesn't understand this and is not interested."

"Are you two arguing over money?"

"A bit...but the starting point is different. She said to give me all the money, but now I don't want it."

"Why?"

"Because I don't like her three melons and two dates. We are a family, and I am definitely responsible for making money. Why do I need her money?"

"...Tsk."

Hearing this, Xu Xin scratched his head in distress.

Every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite.

"Oh yes, while I'm preparing for the wedding, can you make a documentary for me?"

"Okay, no problem. I'll take care of all the pre-wedding preparations and on-site recording of the wedding. I'll leave it to my buddy... By the way, where do you plan to choose the venue? The Palace of Versailles?"

"That's not possible. That's the old wolf's private territory. It's not easy to repeat."

"What about in the country?"

"It's not good...my home is not as lively as your rural home. I still remember the bowl of haggis I drank in the morning...tsk...it tasted so good. I was there with Xu Yang two days ago Chat, I said when you get married, go to the same chef who made the haggis, it’s really delicious.”

"Then what do you want to do?"

"have no idea."

"Let's talk to Lao Lang about this matter. If you don't want to do it at home, then go abroad. Indeed... it's too troublesome to do it at home with all kinds of reporters and guests."

"Hmm... Do you want to have a test tube?"

"What? You can't do it?"

"You can't do that!"

"..."

Xu Xin's mouth twitched.

If he said this before, he must be anxious with this bastard.

I'm young, who do you think can't do it?

But these two days...

He's a bit timid.

What do you mean... I obviously cried so much that I swore that I would never touch her again in my life.

But now every day is like a high-power vacuum cleaner.

Really outrageous.

Wang Sicong didn't pay attention to his friend's expression at this moment, and just said to himself:

"Actually, I also want Brother Qi to suffer less. Look at you, your children will have both in one fell swoop..."

"Do you know how low the chance of twins being born naturally is? She has a good physique and a lot of luck. Not necessarily Qi Brother... Moreover, the test tube is very harmful to the body. How many pills can be taken out at one time? It hurts."

"Okay... then let nature take its course."

After hearing what his friend said, he no longer forced himself.

At this moment, Xu Xin's phone rang.

Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive.

"Hello."

"What are you doing?"

"Old Wang comes back to return the ring..."

"I also bought a bracelet..."

Before Wang Sicong finished speaking, Xu Xin covered the microphone.

The corners of the eldest young master's mouth suddenly twitched crazily.

no……

You can't be such a dog, can you?

Seemingly understanding something, he quickly took out his cell phone to inform Yang Mi.

King, you have to believe me, I bought that bracelet to express my gratitude to you! It wasn’t given by Xu Ergou with thick eyebrows and big eyes!

As a result, as soon as the phone was taken out, Xu Xin, who had quick eyes and quick hands, took it away again.

"you!!"

"Shh..."

Xu Xin put up a cell phone to signal him to shut up.

otherwise……

"Brother Qi and I are going to talk about your ex-girlfriend!"

"..."

Are you still considered a person with the surname Xu?

In the eldest young master's eyes, which looked so sad and angry that he asked "Should I take the bracelet back?", Xu Xin asked:

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong? The company hasn't gone on holiday yet?"

"Come on, everyone is going to get off work now, go back and have a good holiday... I have something to ask you, and Lao Wang happens to be here. You put the speakerphone on, and you two listen."

"He's listening."

Ah, yes, yes.

I'm listening.

You just can't open your mouth, right?

When Yang Mi heard this, she said directly:

"Ren Zhongjun just contacted me. He said that on March 5th, LeTV Film and Television's first round of financing will begin."

"oh?"

Seeing that he was talking about business, even Wang Sicong became serious.

Xu Xin asked:

"Then what?"

"The first round, a total of 2 percent."

"Total?"

Wang Sicong asked with some confusion.

"No, it's for us, me, Huang Xiaoming, Sun Honglei, Yao Chen, Li Chen... just a few people. Each person can give up to 0.3%, but I can give 0.5%."

Upon hearing this, Wang Sicong took the phone directly:

"Hey, Dami."

"ah?"

"I bought you a Van Cleef & Arpels!"

"Bang!"

Wang Sicong, grinning in pain, received a solid punch on his shoulder.

Okay, grandson, let’s play like this, right?

OK OK.

"Lao Xu didn't let me give it to you unless he bought it."

"Well……"

In Xu Xin's eyes that said "Grandson, are you having fun like this? Have a good time", the eldest young master, who was in the same state of mind, smiled proudly.

As for Yang Mi...

"Did he hit you?"

"Yes! It hurts!"

"Then let him kiss you."

"Go to hell!"

"Hahahahaha..."

Pushing the big dog's head away, he asked after joking:

"Have you set a price for this 2%? How much does he plan to raise this time? Do you have a recruitment list?"

"No, no one will give me a list... but the price has been set. 0.1% of 1 million. It's not much money."

Wang Sicong's eyes moved and said:

"Can you ask who is the lead investor?"

"Ren Zhongjun said that the investment company that invested in LeTV led the investment, but I don't know who it is."

"Hmm..."

Hearing this, his eyes moved, thought about it, and said:

"Then you can invest 5 million. Or... try again and see if there are any resources you can use. Have a round of exchanges and try as much as you can. 1%, 2%, or even if LeTV is stupid enough to give you 5%, 50 million can also be invested!"

"...Ah?"

It can be heard that Yang Mi is really confused.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I'm sure... Wait, I remember... Forget it, you come back now, I'll tell you slowly when we get home, I'll call Xu Zhi to ask something."

"Okay, I'll go back now."

"Okay, hang up."

After hanging up the phone, he gave the phone to Xu Xin directly, and took his own phone, while operating it, he sneered:

"Old Xu."

"Yeah?"

"Do you believe me or not?"

"For example?"

"LeTV will sooner or later become a Ponzi scheme."

"Uh..."

Xu Xin blinked:

"Tell me in detail, what is a Ponzi scheme?"

The eldest young master's mouth twitched.

Turning his head and glaring at him:

"Useless thing!"

"What my godfather taught me is that I must work hard in the future!"

That's what people do.

When you need to be cowardly, be cowardly.

It's not shameful to give way to dogs.

Wang Sicong called directly:

"Hello, Xu Zhi, when we were having dinner at the end of last year, you said you were looking forward to the movie Nifeng was shooting... What's it called? "Sadness Against the Current"? The one with Guo Jingming."

"No, it's "Tiny Times", what?"

"Is it finished?"

"Yes, it was finished before the New Year."

"How did you get the distribution?"

"Not yet, the movie hasn't been edited yet."

"Emm... How's the quality?"

"I watched it, it's an ordinary commercial film, but... Yang Ying is pretty."

"..."

In Xu Xin's speechless eyes, Wang Sicong said Said:

"Don't move on the movie yet, whether it's distribution or other things... Just keep calm. I'll go back to Shanghai tomorrow to celebrate the Lantern Festival, and we'll meet the day after tomorrow."

"Oh, okay, see you the day after tomorrow."

"Yeah."

Nothing happened to Xu Xin, and after hanging up the phone, Wang Sicong said:

"You're in charge of the Tiny Times project, right? Do you have a plan?"

"I just read the script, it's OK. But I don't know how it will turn out. Just tell me what you want to do."

"Enter a Ponzi scheme, and then get out after the investment has doubled by 20 or 30 times."

"..."

Xu Xin's mouth twitched.

"Brother, please explain to me what a Ponzi scheme is."

"Go back and search Baidu. My meaning is very simple. LeTV needs someone to support it now. You know that, right?"

"Well, she, Sun Honglei, Yao Chen and other people are all like that."

"Yes, and then... how should I explain it to you... Let me give you an example. For example, the two of us. You opened a company and I invested in it. Then, your company is about to expand a business and set up a branch, and I will continue to invest. But your business has not yet started. After you get the money I invested in you, you can use it in your current company. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand. I can transfer the money you invested in the branch to the head office."

"Yes, but... from the outside world's point of view, if I invested 10 million in your branch, it only occupies 100 million of yours. 20% of the shares, then your company may not even be established, but its market value is already 50 million. "

"Uh..."

"That is to say, you just have a project, and before it is implemented, the assets have expanded 5 times through artificial manipulation. "

"..."

"Of course, all this is based on the premise that your parent company has a certain influence and the market is optimistic. "

Hearing this, Xu Xin thought for a while and said:

"So LeTV is now looking for a celebrity to stand on the platform, right? Yang Mi and I understood this before, but... I didn't expect this level. "

"More than that. What if he incubates a good project? Its scale will continue to expand. "

"Well, I know this. "

"What if it is spread that the parent company wants to acquire this branch company? "

"Hmm?"

Xu Xin was stunned.

Then...

"Hmm? ? ? ? "

Looking at his expression that suddenly thought of something, Wang Sicong nodded slightly:

“Yes, this is what I call a Ponzi scheme. Or the concept is the same. Jia Leting is a master at playing with public opinion. You can see it from every step of LeTV over the years. He first releases good news to attract capital to enter the market, and then implements it after getting the money. So I guess LeTV Pictures... Regardless of whether his ambition is to completely enter the film and television industry, from the perspective of corporate development, I guess it will continue on this path. First, let the public have confidence in the company, raise funds, and then develop. Then, if the company develops well, raise funds again, and get more money... In this way, the company's market value will expand step by step. And when it expands to a certain extent... the company The profit or the development prospect is not important. As for himself, once his original shares are sold... that is, the profit return of 10 million will expand to 500 million or 1 billion. "

"Until... suddenly it collapsed?"

"Oh?"

Wang Sicong raised his eyebrows:

"Think of it?"

"Nonsense."

Xu Xin rolled his eyes at him unhappily:

"Although this is the first time I heard you talk about this profit model, when we contacted last year, Yang Mi and I felt that his company was not very reliable. So we set a three-year plan, cooperated for three years, tried hard to suck blood, and finally abandoned it ruthlessly. And now..."

Speaking of this, he half-closed his eyes and continued to take out cigarettes from his pocket.

After handing over a cigarette, he said with some emotion:

"It's just that I know more about how he plays this game. "

Wang Sicong took the cigarette, lit it, and saw Xu Xin stretched out his hand.

After handing over the lighter, he saw Xu Xin light the cigarette and put his lighter in his pocket.

"But I have a doubt."

"You say."

"You can think of it, but others can't?"

"Yes. This trick is very common in the financial circle."

As he spoke, he took out his lighter from Xu Xin's pocket.

In Xu Xin's speechless eyes, he raised his hand, claiming the ownership of the lighter, and then continued:

"Those investment companies' think tanks have dozens of people at the smallest and hundreds of people at the largest. It's not for nothing to support so many people. Jia Leting's tricks are very normal in the circle. People have seen through it long ago."

"...Then they are still optimistic about LeTV?"

"Why not?"

Wang Sicong asked back.

At this moment, the sun is warm, and the weather in Yanjing in early spring is so good.

It can be said that there are no clouds in the sky.

Under the sun, there is warmth.

It is the best time to take a nap.

But the words that came out of his mouth were so cold that they made people feel cold all over.

From head to toe.

"[We] just need to race against time and not become the last unlucky receiver. Isn't that right? There is no big or small fish in this circle. As long as there is meat, they will come to eat it. Everyone is sure that they will not be the most unlucky one, and everyone firmly believes that they must be the smart one."

"..."

In Xu Xin's silence...

"So, we just need to push it to the cliff, the bigger the better, the bigger the better, the more people will be attracted. Before reaching the cliff, those big hands will naturally leave. Then... watch those unlucky people and this muddy snowball roll down together."

In the small courtyard.

It was the coldest time of winter.

The cold wind was biting.

...

Before 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Mi returned home.

The first thing Wang Sicong said was not about LeTV, but:

"What do you want to eat tonight?"

Wang Sicong smiled:

"Hehe, Brother Qi will make delicious food at home today. I will leave after discussing things with you."

"Okay, I see my dad making hand-rolled noodles, can you take a bag back?"

"Okay. Give me more, Brother Qi is still at home."

"... You keep talking about your fiancée? Why are you so annoying?"

"Hehehehe..."

Laughing, Xu Xin just watched the "dog and bitch" who were in cahoots with each other enter the kitchen.

After a while, after his wife said "Let's do it", Wang Sicong raised his hand to Xu Xin with a bag of hand-rolled noodles:

"Let's go."

"Okay."

I didn't even bother to see him off...that's not right.

It should be said that after watching his friend leave, Yang Mi came over.

"He said he wanted to exchange Tiny Times for resources, and I agreed. He communicated with Xu Zhi in the evening... What did he talk to you about in the afternoon?"

"We talked about this too."

As they spoke, the couple sat on a stool, watching Yang Dalin busy in and out, talking about "family matters".

A moment.

Yang Mi nodded:

"It's easy to join the game."

Xu Xin replied:

"Well, the hard part is how to stop when you're ahead."

"Let Lao Wang make the judgment. I'll listen to him~"

"Okay~"

"Then should I bring Shishi and Fatty in as well?"

"Sure, but don't let them stand on the platform, just invest in your name directly."

"Well!"

Yang Mi responded heavily, leaned against the wall, looked up at the sky and sighed:

"The psychedelic Internet..."

Xu Xin was speechless.

Indeed, these things are a challenge to anyone's worldview.

Facing this matter, in his heart, other doubts were not big, only a very ridiculous puzzlement remained.

Is finance really necessary?
