On the evening of March 21, 1999, the Dorothy Tent Theater in Los Angeles gathered in brilliant lights. Because the famous Academy Awards ceremony will be held here, this annual entertainment feast naturally attracted countless media to flock to it. What was most concerned about that night was a documentary film called "The Devil's Agent".

This documentary film is a documentary film based on real cases. In the end, he defeated "Save Private Ryan" and won 11 awards including Best Picture and Best Screenplay at this Oscar ceremony, and was awarded the record of "Titanic" last year.

After the award ceremony, the director and producer of the film, James, almost walked out of the theater gate and was surrounded by a large number of reporters. &nbs novel p; "Mr. James, I heard that you are not a professional film director and producer. You were engaged in the financial industry a few years ago, right? Is it because of your experience in the financial industry and the poor stock market fluctuations last year that made you think of shooting a movie with finance as the theme?"

"The Devil Agent's movie hit a super high box office of $500 million last year, which is already a very rare number among documentary films. How do you give documentary such a market charm?"

"Mr. James, your movie caused a huge response in society. Some of the financial operations were shocking. In particular, many investment banks on Wall Street urgently revised their company regulations, which directly led to a sharp decline in stock market and futures trading. You said it was a documentary movie. Can anyone really come up with such a wild operation method?"

"And Mr. James, what year does this documentary film have to do with events..."

Faced with the questions from these reporters around me, James smiled and said, "First of all, I can tell you very responsibly that my documentary film is indeed adapted based on facts, but please remember that what I mentioned is not something I made up, but to take care of the IQ of film critics, I have also deliberately deleted a lot of real plots."

As James said this, the reporters around him exclaimed. The deleted movies caused such a big response. What is the real thing like?

James did not whet everyone's appetite. He continued: "There was such a person back then. He was just an ordinary investment broker in an investment company, but according to a series of magical operations that you cannot understand, he completed the feat of destroying a billion-dollar investment company."

"After so many years, I can tell you," James said. "It was because the investment company was losing money and wanted to sell its non-performing assets. The broker seized this opportunity. He first called all the clients allocated by the company, and promised each client that they sold their assets at a very low price in exchange for investment from these clients."

"Since he is just an ordinary investment broker, he did not trust each client's investment amount was not large, only tens of thousands of dollars, but he raised one million dollars after finding twenty clients."

James continued: "Through this million dollar transaction, the broker processed the first batch of non-performing assets, sold the non-performing assets to clients at an extremely low price, and handed over the one million dollars to the company. Of course, the broker did not let them suffer any losses for those clients who did not get the assets they wanted. He paid them a return on investment ranging from one to five percentage points, so that everyone was making money and was very happy."

"It is through the operation method of selling assets and return on investment that this broker has won both trust from the company and the client; then through the establishment of trust, this broker can get more investment from the client and continue to get more assets from the company."

James said this and spread his hands: "Then the subsequent processing method is very simple. It is nothing more than the broker who continues to sell the company's non-performing assets, give other customers returns on investment, attract more customers to invest, get processing assets from the company, and then sell them at an extremely low price, then take out part of the customer's investment and return it to the customer, creating the illusion that the company's customers are happy, and the cycle continues."

"I'm afraid you may not believe it. With this method, this agent sold more than 3,000 properties worth $500 million in less than a month. How much did he sell these properties only?"

James looked around and finally stretched out three fingers and said, "It's only three million dollars."

All the reporters were shocked. Although they could have guessed that the final price would definitely not be very high by dismantling the east and west walls, the amount was still unbelievable. This was less than one percent of the total assets! Even if it was to deal with assets, the gap was unbelievable.

"Will someone check the accounts and these secrets be exposed immediately?" James said, "I know you all want to ask this question, but this agent has long thought of this, so he opened another secret account very early, and all his transactions are completed through this secret account, which is very concealed."

"Of course, this kind of concealment is questionable. Any professional accountant can find out the problem. However, there was a special background at that time, that the company was in a very difficult period and needed to deal with its assets as soon as possible. Therefore, even if the company knew that the broker was trading through a secret account, as long as the company could receive the money in the end and the customer was satisfied, no one would ask about it." James said.

"Oh my God! This agent is such a landmark genius. How could he come up with such a trading method? Almost everyone's reaction is calculated. It's amazing. If he didn't commit crimes with his own mind, then is this agent you, Mr. James? Did you come up with such a great way to operate?"

Facing all the reporters' questions, James smiled and replied: "That agent is a very important friend of mine, and such a great way of operation... Has anyone ever heard of the Devil's Cemetery? It's a special cocktail with a very strong smell. All these great ways of operation are also because of that glass of Devil's Cemetery."

...

Back on November 11, 1990, some entrepreneurs of this era are still working in translation agencies, so it is natural that they cannot create a shopping carnival that has caused a sensation in the world. However, even so, Brooke Investment Company in Brighton is still full of a festive atmosphere, just because today is a personal commendation meeting for agent James.

Everyone at Brooke Investment Company gathered in the company's small conference room. Due to limited seats, many people could only stand, but there were two empty seats.

When everyone was ready, the company's general manager took James into the conference room. They walked around the crowd and sat directly on the two empty seats.

"I believe everyone already knows the content of today's meeting. It is to praise James, and it is also to tell everyone that as long as you work in the company and make money for the company, the company will definitely make you make more money!"

The general manager paused and said, "You all know that someone maliciously promoted the subprime mortgage crisis caused by personal bankruptcy, which made the company go through a very difficult storm. Due to the shortage of funds, the company had to arrange tasks and even force everyone to deal with the company's non-performing assets. This was a last resort, but it was also effective."

"It has been a month since the task was arranged. Perhaps the subprime mortgage crisis has not yet passed, but the situation of the company is constantly improving."

The general manager said, patted James on the shoulder sitting beside him and continued, "I still remember when I assigned you a task a month ago, you all complained to me that he was a devilish person, but the Mr. James around me, who is also your brother and colleague, educated you with facts because he handled three thousand mortgaged properties in this month and earned $600 million in funds for the company."

"James is undoubtedly the biggest contributor to the company's ability to overcome this difficulty. Today, the company officially made a decision to commend him!"

The general manager deliberately stopped and sucked everyone's appetite, and finally said: "The company decided to give him a bonus of 200,000 US dollars, plus his commission for handling the property, today there will be 800,000 US dollars in banknotes in his pocket. At that time, whether you want to exchange it for 800,000 US dollars a dollar coins or use the 800,000 US dollars to make a bed, you will just like it yourself!"

Due to the general manager's joke, all the employees were laughing in addition to being gasped by the 800,000 US dollars in income.

"The rich Mr. James, please share with you the secrets of your work." The general manager said to James, and then there was warm applause on the scene.

James stood up in the midst of applause. After he waited for the applause to fade, he asked a question that no one expected: "Have you heard of the Devil's Cemetery?"

This question puzzled everyone, including the general manager, no one knew why he asked such a question.

"It was a unique cocktail. He took fifteen ml of tequila, fifteen ml of black rum, fifteen ml of scotch, fifteen ml of American whiskey and fifteen ml of almond brandy, poured them into the wine glasses, and finally poured them into the beer and let the beer float on all the wine, and it became a perfect demon's graveyard."

As soon as James finished speaking, the general manager said to him: "It's indeed a very special cocktail. So Mr. James, are you trying to say that the characteristics of this glass of wine have inspired your fighting spirit, right?"

James looked at the general manager and shook his head and said, "It's not the case. I discovered the so-called work and capital in the true form after drinking this cup of Devil's Grave."

Everyone was confused about James' words. James continued: "It's very simple. Whether it's General Manager, you, me, or everyone here, we are scumbags, the devil among the devils, and this company is a fucking devil concentration camp. I think you definitely don't know that the property I received at the beginning was from Ansenburg Community. The manager's bastard actually asked me to deal with it for $200,000!"

James's words caused an uproar. The manager immediately stood up and said, "James, please pay attention to your words! If I really set such a high price for you, you wouldn't be able to deal with it at all?"

"Isn't it my ability to deal with it?" James asked meaningfully.

The manager who asked this question was speechless. The general manager of the company wanted to come forward to reconcile, but James continued: "But it doesn't matter, you are a guy without eggs anyway!"

"James, are you crazy? Don't think you can do this by doing a little bit of results." The general manager said seriously.
Chapter completed!
