Chapter 291 Simple Ponzi Scheme
(Bow thanks to "Kobayashi, you are so wild" for your support and monthly ticket support!)
There was a sudden strange silence in the conference room, and everyone's eyes were focused on Zhou Ming and Xing Yuan.
In fact, whether it is Zhou Ming's attitude or Xing Yuan's request, it is expected by everyone. No one will be unmoved by such a large amount of money on the expressway, and no one will let go. Even if the money cannot be embezzled, but with more than one billion yuan of funds, what can I do? However, although the attitudes of both of them are expected, the development of things has still made everyone feel unexpected.
Huang Nan, secretary of Baiyun Municipal Party Committee, looked at Chen Yunfei and found that Chen Yunfei was sitting there like an old monk entering a meditation, with no expression on his face, as if he had not heard Zhou Ming and Xing Yuan's words just now.
Others may not have noticed it, but Huang Nan knew that the situation could have developed to this point was completely condoned by Chen Yunfei.
After all, Chen Yunfei is also the executive vice governor of Lingnan and the chairman of today's meeting. If he really doesn't want to see Xing Yuan be proud here, he has every reason not to let him speak, and I believe no one will have any opinions. But his current approach is to allow Xing Yuan to act recklessly at this meeting. Even if his words have exceeded the scope of the meeting, it has made the meeting very shameful, and Chen Yunfei pretended not to hear it.
Xing Yuan laughed over there and said to Zhou Ming: "Consultant Zhou, Consultant Zhou, I now find that you are really as smelly and hard as a stone in a pit! If you don't let go, if you don't give me this road administration fund, can you do it? You should also think about it carefully, what are you using to keep this money? I can give you 40 points of income, can you do it?"
Zhou Ming shook his head gently: "I said the same thing last time. If it was under the legitimate economic environment and legal business strategies, you would not be able to give this reward at all."
Xing Yuan spread his hands and said to everyone: "Everyone has seen it. I have no problem with Consultant Zhou's evaluation. He is still talking about this matter. He is either treating himself as a fool or thinking that as long as he blocks his ears, we will all be the same as his thoughts. Aren't that just ostrich that can only bury his head in the sand?"
"Guest Zhou, I know that you have built the stock market in Nanjiang and solved the biggest stock crisis, but this does not mean that you are the number one in the domestic financial field. There are talented people in the generation of the country, and there are many financial means you have never heard of. For example, why do you have a rejection attitude now? I think you will be eliminated by the times sooner or later!" Xing Yuan said.
"Thank you Mr. Xing for your concern, but I would like to advise Mr. Xing, Mr. Xing, you might as well worry more about yourself than worrying about me," Zhou Ming deliberately emphasized to Xing Yuan, "As for your business method, you will be shot one day."
Xing Yuan couldn't help but shivered all over. It seemed as if there was really a gun pointing at him when Zhou Ming said just now. But then Xing Yuan reacted and said to Zhou Ming in anger, "Consultant Zhou, would you say this to scare me? If you have the ability, please call the police to arrest me now? I'm scared?"
Zhou Ming smiled slightly: "As you wish."
As Zhou Ming finished speaking, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and then a group of armed police officers with live ammunition rushed in and quickly controlled the situation.
Everyone in the conference room, including Xing Yuan, was stunned. They didn't understand what was going on, but the black muzzle on the armed police's hands and the solemn aura of these soldiers all told them not to move around.
The last senior police officer walked in with his men. He saluted Chen Yunfei and Huang Nan first, and then issued an arrest warrant to Xing Yuan and said: "I am the deputy director of the Economic Crime Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security. Xing Yuan's facts of your economic crime in Jiangnan Province have been found out. Please be sure to go back with us for investigation."
Seeing his arrest warrant, Xing Yuan was stunned at the time, but then he turned his head to Zhou Ming, pointed at Zhou Ming and said viciously: "Zhou Ming, it's all you guy who is doing, right? I'll fight with you!"
Xing Yuan said that he wanted to move a stool to smash Zhou Ming, but the armed police soldiers behind him were prepared for it before he could move. The two armed police soldiers immediately pressed him on the table, and his head hit the table and made a bang.
This sound made Zhou Ming feel pain for him, worried that his head would be really dumbfounded. However, Xing Yuan obviously did not have this concern. He still said to Zhou Ming hatefully: "I don't accept it. Zhou Ming, you bastard, you are not capable of business, you know that you can command the people of the Ministry of Public Security. Do you think that you can command the people of the Ministry of Public Security to be amazing? Let me tell you, you are just a piece of shit in my eyes! When I come out, I will definitely kill you!"
"Come out? I think you don't have this chance." Zhou Ming said.
"I am a serious businessman in Jiangnan Province. I still have one billion yuan in my hands, so the country cannot ignore it. And I believe that Zhou Ming can hide it for a while, and you cannot hide it from the people across the country!" Xing Yuan said.
"It seems that you still don't know the crime you committed." Zhou Ming shook his head regretfully and said.
"I'm guilty of your mother! This is what Zhou Ming, you bastard, slander me! I..."
Xing Yuan cursed Zhou Ming, but his scolding came to an abrupt end because Zhou Ming started to rub a notebook and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Governor Chen, can I expose Xingyuan's economic scam here?" Zhou Ming turned to ask Chen Yunfei.
Chen Yunfei nodded and said, "Yes, I can also remind everyone after the scam is exposed."
Zhou Ming thanked Chen Yunfei, then turned around and said to everyone: "I know that you all are feeling unfair for Xing Yuan at this time. They all think that I was deliberately using my relationship to retaliate against him, but I can tell you very responsibly that I didn't. I just reported his criminal facts to the central government. Then, next, I will tell you what the situation is in Xing Yuan's investment scam."
"In fact, Xing Yuan's scam is not smart, it's just a very ordinary Ponzi scheme," said Zhou Ming. "The so-called Ponzi scheme is simply a scam that uses the money of new investors to pay interest and short-term returns to old investors, creating the illusion of making money and then defrauding more investments. This is also called tearing down the east wall and making money in the west wall and making money in vain. What you said is very high, that's just for you. The actual return does not exist at all, including the returns he had in Jiangnan Province, actually does not exist."
Zhou Ming's words were like a stone thrown into the lake, and immediately splashed a splash of water, causing noise to spread: "How could this happen? Are so much money all fake? Didn't he already give interest, and the interest was taxed by the state tax department. All documents can be found. Can this be fake?"
Faced with everyone's doubts, Zhou Ming said: "I know everyone doesn't believe it, so please listen to me to tell you slowly."
"Do you know why the central government sent people to arrest Xingyuan today? It is because the investigation team of the Ministry of Public Security has found that Xingyuan has not done any business in Jiangnan Province and Binhai City. He has not even bought a needle in the disposable medical supplies business he mentioned in the past year!"
This time, Zhou Ming took the initiative to say without waiting for others to question: "He did not do business, but he did pay his investors a return of 500 million last year. You may think this is very contradictory, but I don't think it is too contradictory, because if I were asked to operate, let alone 500 million, even 600 to 800 million, I can give it."
Someone finally reacted: "Zhou Ming, are you saying that he used the investor's principal to repay the interest?"
"You can understand this way." Zhou Ming said.
"What if someone wants to take it away with the principal and interest?" another person asked.
Zhou Ming asked him without answering: "If it were you, do you know that your money can be paid very high interest regularly. Will you take it away or let him continue to make money?"
No one answered this question because the answer to this question is very obvious and will definitely not be taken away. If you are more greedy, you will even continue to invest in the interest and make a profit.
"Actually, what I want to say is that it doesn't matter whether it is taking away or continuing to invest. As long as he builds this trend and gets new investments, the old batch of investments can be paid back, and he returns the old investments, which can also increase his reputation to a higher level, making everyone think that he is really good at making money, and will invest money in him more vigorously, making his snowball grow bigger and bigger."
Speaking of this, Zhou Ming deliberately paused. Seeing that no one was talking, Zhou Ming spread his hands and continued: "Everyone here is the leader in the Lingnan business community. I believe that if I don't need to say more about the following words, everyone will know in their hearts. Using new investments and old investments can indeed make his wealth grow in a geometric way in a short period of time, so he has transformed from a street gangster into a billionaire in just a few years."
"But since he is actually not doing any business, that is, his money is only paid but not in. As long as there is no new investment in one day, his scam will be bankrupt." Zhou Ming said.
"Zhou... Zhou Consultant, what do you mean is that his idea of coming to Lingnan to fight for road administration funds this time is also a scam?" Someone asked below.
