Chapter 764 Coercion and inducement

No, we must get the money from Chen Xi as soon as possible.

No, isn’t Hengxiao Group thriving now? How could it have financial problems?
Xu Yun stroked his chin and thought.

At this time, in Jiangcheng, thousands of miles away, a woman was also lying on the bed playing with her mobile phone with the same angry expression.

"Damn it, you dare to hang up on me!" Li Yuqing held the mobile phone in her left hand and an A4 paper in her right hand. On the paper was a list of customers, but those names had been crossed out by him.

The previous phishing method of Momo APP was indeed effective, and it helped her gain a group of customers.

But they were all men, most of them were older uncles, and some were young boys who had just graduated.

The reason they are willing to spend money to buy funds is simply because they want something to happen between them and Li Yuqing.

However, after these people invested the first sum of money, they began to negotiate conditions. Some even made naked requests for sex. How could Li Yuqing agree to them?

The angry fish began to leave messages on her social media, with all kinds of abusive words.

In the end, Li Yuqing became a well-known fund fisherman, and there were no more orders afterwards.

She squandered all the money she earned on medical beauty and is still in debt.

The good news now is that she doesn't have to stand in the bank to sell products anymore. The bad news is that her female boss, who has always disliked her, has arranged a new job for her - telephone sales.

There are many telemarketing businesses in China, including insurance sales, loan services, and other industries. People are under great pressure in their daily lives. When they receive these advertising and sales calls or harassing calls, those with good tempers will refuse, while those with bad tempers will curse at the other party.

Li Yuqing didn't know how many times she had been scolded during this period of time. She was so proud that her sleep quality had deteriorated.

After the phone calls proved fruitless, she quickly thought of a new way to attract people, which was blind dates!
But this blind date is not about recommending financial products to the man, but about finding some powerful middle-aged women to get close to.

Li Yuqing looks good and acts like a good kid, so naturally many middle-aged women like her.

Of course, these aunts also have other intentions, which is to find a wife for their sons.

Besides, Li Yuqing graduated from abroad, so in the eyes of these people, she is an educated woman. If this is combined with her son, the excellent genes will make the next generation smarter.

"No, I need my mom to introduce more people to me. If you want to go on a blind date with me, there must be some threshold. I won't go to meet you if you don't buy more funds!" Li Yuqing began to fantasize again.

Inside a high-end bath center in Jiangcheng.

At this moment, Shi Tao was taking a bath in a large, steaming pool. There were also three young men sitting next to him. They were the people Li Yuqing had met last time, and they were also the partners of Shi Tao's loan assistance company.

Shi Tao invested all the 500,000 yuan his father had saved. He was a little nervous at first, but he gradually felt relieved. Because he was careful, he gave the other party the 500,000 yuan for starting the company as a loan and signed a receipt. The other party also promised that if the company made money, it would pay dividends every month.

In the early days, he did get some money, the most he received was 30,000 yuan, which was a considerable monthly income.

But as time went by, the money he received became less and less, from 30,000 to 20,000, and then to 10,000. And now he hasn't received any dividends for a long time.

The three people who were in partnership with him were all in the same boat. The young man who led the group always dismissed him on the grounds that the company was not making money. He also spent money lavishly to take him to various high-end places to play. Shi Tao felt mixed emotions.

He wanted to ask the other party for money, but he was usually treated like a big boss and was fed and drunk, so he felt embarrassed to ask.

"Shi Tao, let me tell you, the company's business is not going well. Jiangcheng's loan assistance service fee is the lowest in the country, and other cities start at 3-4 points. Our market price is one point, and it will not exceed 2 points at most. Hey, for the future of the company, you have to attract more customers..." The nominal boss - Pan Dai patted Shi Tao on the shoulder.

"Yeah." Shi Tao nodded subconsciously, but he was complaining in his heart.

I’ve only been back to China for a short time, how could I know anyone?

It was agreed at the beginning that I just need to pay.

How come you suddenly become a salesperson now?

"There are too many financial companies now. I plan to attract some investors from outside and then lend money to others. This will greatly increase the company's income. Of course, if we invest some of our own money, we can make more money, right..." Pan Dai turned his head and looked at Shi Tao, meaning that you can invest some more money.

"Lending money at high interest rates is not a good idea. What if people don't pay back the money and a violent conflict breaks out?" Shi Tao, who has always been law-abiding, thinks this is not a good idea.

"Haha, what era is it now? Are you still fighting and killing? The latest debt collection method is to find an AIDS patient to go to the creditor's house, sit on a bench, and spit on the ground. The other party will be scared and pay back the money obediently! Besides, we don't lend money at high interest rates. The interest rate is just a little bit higher than that of the bank. Don't worry..." Pan Dai explained with a smile.

Shi Tao said reluctantly: "There is only 500,000 yuan in the family, and I have taken it all out. Where can I invest more money now?"

"Didn't the company distribute dividends a while ago? It should be at least tens of thousands of yuan. I usually treat you to meals and drinks, and you didn't spend much. I heard that your family still has an old house, why don't you talk to your father about selling it or mortgaging it? Think about it, the bank's interest rate is so low...you can turn around and lend it out. Look at Feng Yun, didn't he make a fortune by doing this!" Pan Dai said very convincingly.

"I'll go back and discuss it with my dad." Shi Tao didn't want to agree, so he made an excuse.

"As soon as possible, the company needs money. The three of us will invest money this time, and we can't let the company go bankrupt..."

"..."

Hearing this, Shi Tao was speechless.

Now he is in a dilemma, investing money is risky. If he does not invest money, if the other party does not repay the previous loan, he will need to go to court.

Shi Tao, who was afraid of trouble, was very conflicted.

"Don't think too much, take a shower, and go have a drink later!" Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, Pan Dai patted him again with a playful smile.

During this period, Shi Tao lived a life of drunkenness and debauchery. Although he got drunk from time to time in Tuao before, it was not like this every day.

After thinking about it, he realized there was no need to rush this matter, so Shi Tao stood up from the pool and went to the buffet with Pan Dai.

In the Huajing Hotel, Chen Xi, lying on the bed, logged into the Tianya Forum account and signed up for the simulated stock trading competition.

Looking at the comments online, where each and every one of them claimed to be a stock god, Chen Xi couldn't help but want to laugh.

I was reborn. I can’t necessarily make money by trading stocks. How can you small retail investors want to be the stock god?
This simulated stock trading competition was widely publicized online, causing the number of registrations on the Tianya Forum to soar sharply.

Because everyone wants to get a free bonus without any effort, many people who know nothing about stocks have signed up.

"That's awesome! The number of forum users has reached 6 million."

He remembered that in his previous life, the forum had a peak number of users of around 1.5 million. Many of them were registered under fake accounts, but there were also quite a few real users. In this life, he saved the Tianya Forum and brought it to a new height.

Chen Xi opened the Zhijie game window, created a character and went in to play.

I have to say, this game is very addictive. Even people who have never played simulation games can quickly get started.

But the game is very professional, which means that if you know nothing about a certain industry, it will be difficult to play.

But this is also a good thing, as it allows players to constantly search for information and learn to enrich themselves.

Since his rebirth, Chen Xi has basically not played any computer games.

He played for several hours, and didn't turn off the computer until after three o'clock.

Chen Xi was awakened by a ringing phone. He looked and saw that the caller was Xing Tian. He answered the call in a daze, said a few words and then hung up.

After sleeping for another hour, he sat up from the bed and stretched.

"Why are the people from the Film Association coming to find me? Are they here to call me to task? Let them wait, I'm going to take a shit first!" Chen Xi grinned and walked towards the bathroom.

An hour later, God Forum headquarters.

"When will Mr. Chen come? We've been waiting for almost two hours." A tall and thin man looked at his watch with a very unhappy expression.

As members of a prestigious film association, aren’t they warmly welcomed wherever they go?
Someone actually made them wait here for an hour. This person is even more arrogant than Karl Lagerfeld.

"Mr. Chen is very busy. He must have been discussing business just now." Xing Tian replied with a smile.

"What business is more important than ours?"

"Mr. Chen is talking about big official business, and his partners are Feng Yun and others, so it's naturally not something I can ask more about."

Xing Tian's words shut the tall and thin man's mouth.

Everyone knows that Feng Yun is now the leader in the e-commerce industry. Being able to negotiate business with him and the government requires extraordinary strength.

But he had heard about Chen Xi's background. How could a young boy in his twenties be a big shot?

In China, powerful bosses have always been in their 40s or 50s, and those who are a little younger are in their 35s or early 30s. This guy can't be some third-generation X.

The tall and thin man became more and more afraid of Chen Xi's identity the more he thought about it.

"Your special effects are made with a few computers?" The tall and thin man began to change the subject and pointed outside the office.

"Of course not. This kind of special effects must be done by a professional team."

"So that means it's outsourced?"

"That's not the case. We at Tianyalun Network have our own special effects team, and some film and television dramas will be outsourced to outside teams." Xing Tian shook his head.

"I heard that the production cost of your special effects is very low. How much is it exactly?"

"No comment!"

"..."

Just when he was sulking, the office door was pushed open and Chen Xi strode in.

A few people greeted each other and sat down.

"Mr. Chen, I'm here on behalf of the Film Association. There's no need to introduce our association in detail. It's an organization with an official background. I came here to discuss cooperation with Mr. Chen." The tall and thin man took a sip of tea and spoke slowly like an old man.

Chen Xi also imitated him and said: "Oh? How do you want to cooperate?"

"We want you to provide special effects production for some movies. I heard that your special effects team can produce excellent pictures at a very low cost."

"Who told you that? Our production costs are very high! The cost of special effects in foreign films is often tens of millions. I don't need to say much about domestic ones. You are all making movies, too." Chen Xi waved his hand.

"Well, let's put it this way. Based on the TV series of Doupo Dalu, if you want us to make similar movie special effects, how much would it cost?"

After hearing this, Chen Xi held up three fingers.

"three million?"

"What are you thinking, thirty million!"

"What? You're not... Well, Mr. Chen knows the power of our Film Association. If you want to make film and television works in China, you can't do without dealing with us. Since we will be cooperating in the future, why don't you give me a discount, this number! But you can still report this number to the outside world!" The tall and thin man first stretched out his palm to gesture, and then turned it into a scissors hand.

Chen Xi understood that he was talking about five million, but the figure reported to the outside was twenty million, which meant that fifteen million flowed into some people's private pockets.

"You want me to do business at a loss? It's not even enough to cover the production costs!" Chen Xi rolled his eyes.

"You don't have to do it so well, you know..."

The tall and thin man rubbed his hands. According to previous movie special effects production, even if the producer was not satisfied with the special effects, he would still use them in the end because he could not waste time.

"How much of this fifteen million can I get?"

"This number!" The tall and thin man stretched out another hand.

"Oh, so the remaining 10 million went into your own pocket?"

"How could that be? There are other people who need to be taken care of!"

"Aren't you afraid of investigation from above?"

"What are you afraid of? We have always played like this."

“Don’t you know what special effects can be made with five million? If we report 20 million to others and people find out, it will damage our reputation. Who will dare to cooperate with us in the future? Besides, I don’t think the director will spend 20 million on special effects... This is a one-time deal. The money goes into your pocket, and I don’t actually make much. I also ruin our reputation. It’s a completely losing business…” Chen Xi shook his head.

"You'd better think it over carefully. If you don't cooperate with us, your film and television drama press conferences will be full of difficulties in the future." Seeing that soft tactics didn't work, the tall and thin man had to resort to hard tactics.

"Oh? What do you mean?" Chen Xi raised his eyebrows.

"Don't you know what kind of organization we are? How many movies are released every year? Which department do we need to have a good relationship with for film censorship? Hehe, I can have people label those TV series and cartoons you make as violent and bloody, and also publicize that these TV series and movies will corrupt children. In that case, none of your works can be released, which means they were shot in vain..." The tall and thin man looked at him with a sneer.

"Oh, then go ahead and try it!" Chen Xi looked at the other person with a smile, without any panic on his face.

Xing Tian standing next to him was a little anxious. He had invested so much money and effort with great effort. If all the money and effort went down the drain, the film and television section of the Tianya Forum would be ruined in the future.

Publishing censorship is a bit confusing. Some works with the same subject matter can be released, while others cannot.

Although he didn't understand the mystery of politeness, Xing Tian was still afraid.

Because he had experienced similar things before, the ghost story column, which was originally the popular ghost channel of Tianya Forum, was originally the golden signboard of Tianya Forum.

In the end, due to censorship reasons, the forum was almost closed down.

If Chen Xi hadn't bought the company, he would have jumped off the building due to debt. (End of this chapter)
