Rebirth of the 92 Business Tycoon

Vol 6 Chapter 291: Occasion

"John, tell me you couldn't invest in him, right?" Feng Yiping looked at John with arms akimbo and asked very seriously.

John was a little dazed, and took a heavy sip of his cigar. "There is no chance yet,"

This is something that makes him feel a little regretful, because it seems to mean that compared with many people on the island, his strength is still a bit worse.

"Huh," Feng Yiping exhaled heavily, "That's good,"

Just like he was very impressed with his barbaric girlfriend, but he missed it perfectly. There are many areas that he focuses on business, not too relevant information, and he can't always be able to do it before the incident. Think of it.

But after hearing the name Madoff, how could he not understand what tricks the man who had been sharpened by many people at this time to know and sent him money was playing?

He created the most expensive Ponzi scheme in history, but it was one of the most famous news on Wall Street during the subprime mortgage period.

To put it bluntly, it should also be one of the most depressing news that the people affected by subprime mortgages heard at the time.

Because of Madoff's scam, the people who scammed were all rich people, and ordinary people like them were not even qualified to be deceived by him.

"John, you will be thankful for this!" Feng Yiping said again.

John has a villa on the Palm Island. Feng Yiping knows it, but he doesn't know that Madoff, the big scammer, also has a villa here, and it seems that this is still one of the main places he attracts investors, or attracts people to hook.

If Ma Ling's parents are also on the list of those who are in charge, in any case, this would be an unacceptable thing for him, in any case, or it would be an irony.

Because in a certain sense, it was equivalent to being cheated.

Fortunately, now it seems that even John is not qualified to be deceived by Madoff. This is a blessing.

John was very puzzled when he heard this, "Why?"

In fact, he probably heard some things at this time, but he instinctively didn't want to think about it, how could that be possible? impossible!

Feng Yiping didn't speak, just patted his son's mother and his father's shoulder.

John really couldn't calm down at this time. He threw the cigar on the ground and pulled Feng Yiping, "What do you mean by...?"

At this moment, a few people came over with a smile, Feng Yiping squatted down and picked up the cigar, and only when those few people walked away did he ask John, "You can keep it secret, right!"

Feng Yiping's question made John a little irritated, of course I can keep it secret! Am I like those young and impulsive people who can't hide secrets?

You don’t want to think about how old I am, and you don’t look at it. How old are my grandchildren?

Oh well, that's your son.

Feng Yiping glanced at the hotel over there, pulled John aside, and asked in a low voice, "John, have you heard of a person named Charles Ponts?"

"In Boston at the beginning of the last century, he can be said to be a very famous person..."

"You mean, Ponzi scheme?" John's voice trembled, "Really Ponzi scheme?"

Feng Yiping glanced at John with a little surprise, he was so clear about this, not bad!

He didn't know, it was because, before, there were also some remarks that Madoff was a Ponzi scheme.

However, those comments soon subsided.

Those wealthy people who get rewards from Madoff on a monthly basis dismissed these remarks.

They are confident that no one dares to lie to them, not only because they have always been the only ones who lied to others, but mainly because they couldn’t believe that someone would dare to lie to them so many wealthy and powerful men at the same time.

Unless that person is a lunatic.

But does Madoff look like a lunatic?

"Think about it, is he never willing to explain his investment direction to investors?"

"Yes," John said.

He has naturally heard that when he accepts your investment, he will make it clear that he does not want you to ask about the direction of investment.

"But that's because it needs to be kept secret..."

Feng Yiping ignored John's words, "Is he always absorbing funds?"

This, yes, there should be people trying to get to know Madoff every day and send him money.

"Is he a very sure promise that he will only make money and not lose money?"

This, of course, is also the main reason why those people are scrambling to give him money.

Because Buffett dare not say such a promise to investors.

"Think about it again. Whether it’s the stocks you invest in with high returns or the gold Heidi bought, they are all very good projects, right, but whether it’s your stocks or Heidi’s gold, are they also Will fluctuate due to the influence of the general environment, and it is impossible to get a very stable return every month?"

"So, is it true?" John murmured.

"You mean, there are many people on this island who invest in him?"

"Yes, many people are proud to invest in him," John said.

Being able to swing on the court of a country club and board Madoff’s yacht has become a symbol of a high-end circle.

"What about the amount?"

"I heard that hundreds of millions of dollars are not a few, many, there are billions,"

"Tsk tusk," Feng Yiping shook his head.

This is really an unqualified liar.

In this industry, doesn’t it seem that there is an iron rule that rabbits don’t eat grass from their nests. Why does Madoff exclusively act on his neighbors and friends in the same club?

But think about it, it seems to understand.

If you can bring high returns to some friends who have a normal relationship with you, and shut out friends who are closer to you, it will definitely make people doubt.

In addition, the funding gap is too large, so it is naturally most efficient to let his wealthy neighbors and club friends board the boat.

"Trust me, members of that club will only feel that joining that club is a shame,"

"Also, are you interested in buying more properties on this island? I think there will be opportunities soon."

To be sure, the investment these people made to Madoff is not necessarily all their own funds. It would be a very smart idea to take some of their real estate, such as a house, to take out a loan and then invest in Madoff.

But not to mention the subprime mortgage crisis that will intensify next year, which may have an impact on their other earnings, just say that when the Madoff scam is revealed and their money can't be returned, I believe some people may not be able to keep them here. one's house.

"Sorry John, I have to go in," Feng Yiping said, looking at the table below, pointing to the hotel.

"Well," John just nodded, standing motionless.

After a while, he shouted to Feng Yiping's back, "Remember to come home for dinner at night,"

…………

Joseph Huli had arrived at the hotel at this time. He looked at it. There were still more than ten minutes before the meeting. He was about to go upstairs to his room when he suddenly saw a lady, an Asian lady, to be precise, one A Chinese lady walked towards the side of the lobby.

He knew that there was a bar.

He immediately changed his mind and decided to go to the bar for a drink.

He found the lady just now in this bar connected to the beach effortlessly. As expected, the one at the lady's table was sitting the one he imagined.

Although men in financial circles generally spend a lot of money in high-end clubs, most of them are mainly spent on women.

But Joseph Huley is just as anxious, at this critical moment, he won't move those flowers.

The reason why she followed is mainly because this lady is a well-known figure on Wall Street, and she is best known for following her boss firmly.

When the boss left Morgan Stanley, she also left Morgan Stanley. The boss joined Credit Suisse First Boston, and she also joined Credit Suisse First Boston.

The boss returned to Da Mo, and she also returned to Da Mo.

Yes, the one sitting at the lady's table at this time is the gentleman who staged his sweet revenge in 2005, the current chairman and CEO of Motorola, John\\Mack.

Although it is known that Mack also appeared in Palm Beach at this time, it is not surprising, because Palm Beach at this time has always been a favorite holiday place for these people, but Joseph Huli felt that things should not be that simple, maybe, This gentleman may still have something to do with himself when he comes here.

When he was on another table and saw another heavyweight figure, he almost immediately confirmed his judgment. Yes, they came here at this time. They must have something to do with them. To be precise, they will definitely The one I want to meet is related.

That other heavyweight ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ was hired by the White House as Secretary of the Treasury after Paulson, his successor is another Wall Street giant, the current chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs , Lauder Belankvan.

My own trip was really right, Joseph Huli said heartily.

At this time in Boston, Lawrence Fink also felt that he had come on the right trip.

"Then, I wish us a happy cooperation!" He stood up with a smile, and stretched out his hand to the opposite person.

"Happy cooperation!" The one who smiled and shook hands with Fink was the chairman of State Street, who had not been able to come to Palm Beach.

Almost after Lawrence Fink introduced the general plan, they hit it off.

Lawrence Fink and the others need to take State Street to their side at this time, and for the head of State Street, whose position has been marginalized, he needs such an opportunity even more.

…………

"Yiping, they are all here," Feng Yiping just entered the door of the hotel, and Wu Qian, who had been watching her watch, greeted him immediately.

Feng Yiping looked at his watch, and it happened that there were nearly ten minutes before the agreed time.

"Let's go," he walked toward the elevator.

"They are all in the bar at this time, do you want to go over and say hello?" Wu Qian suggested.

Feng Yiping thought for a while, "Alright,"

As soon as he entered the bar, the bar was obviously quiet, but immediately, it became active again.

He saw that several people stood up and walked towards him.

"Hello, Mr. Mark," "Hello, Bellan Kefan," "You must be Mr. Huli from State Street," he greeted the others one after another.

At this time, another person came over, "Hello Mr. Feng, I am glad to meet you,"

Feng Yiping was taken aback. This was Madoff. It turned out that he was not on board at this time.
