Volume Ten, Chapter 56, Faith Collapse
Of course, an amateur like Yang Su doesn't know the depth, nor does he know who the Godfather of Wall Street is. He still arranged for his confidant intelligence agents to continue tracing the Mai Fund, secretly tracing the mysterious fund that has no other suspicious manifestations in southern Africa.,
Half an hour later, the American Embassy on the street.
Yang Su has always been very happy in his actions. Faced with such an absolute restricted area as the US Consulate General in South Africa, he did not hesitate to use the powers of the Ministry of the Interior and even diplomatic means, and insisted on asking clearly. Therefore, he was very unhappy with the officials of the US Consulate General, and she did not hesitate to argue with the embassy staff for a while. Minister Yang was impatient and even threatened to send security forces to enter the Consulate General for a full search.
The US diplomats finally couldn't stand it all morning and gave in and raised their hands to surrender, fearing that the stubborn minister. A lieutenant colonel of the US Marine Corps who seemed to know the inside story still told the truth. At least in the three years he was stationed in South Africa, people who had never seen Mai Fund came to Africa, and even Mrs. Madolson himself, also confirmed Zhao Daxi's judgment that Mai Fund's African branch did not exist at all.
A large group of people left the US Consulate General, and Yang Su said again: "A fund company is more mysterious than the CIA. Do you believe it if you want to say there is no ghost here?"
Several intelligence agencies behind her could only helplessly spread their hands when they looked at each other. They also felt that this matter was very strange. Since its establishment, the Dangdang Mai Fund has been well-known all over the world with high returns. Why is it so mysterious and difficult to understand? As the group rushed back to Johannesburg, the South African National Intelligence Agency's investigation into the Mai Fund continued, and Lei Yongqiang and Zhao Daxi began a cold war.
The childish cold war movements of the two big men also found it funny to see the people around them, which also made Lin Haiyan, who had just arrived in South Africa, shook her head and laughed.
When President Lin saw this, he couldn't help but tease: "You two are really promising. They are all seventy years old and are still so childish?"
Zhao Daxi just laughed, but Lei Yongqiang raised his chin and was very proud: "How can this be called childish? I am a person with faith, and no one can insult my faith."
Lin Haiyan couldn't help laughing when she saw him like this, so she quickly coaxed him: "Okay, it's a good thing to have faith, I absolutely agree."
At this time, Yang Su really couldn't stand it and was rarely coquettish in public: "Lei Yongqiang, you have been proud these days, right? Who are you showing off to?"
This was the first time Lin Haiyan saw her feminine and coquettish expression. When she looked at Zhao Daxi, she smiled even stronger on her face. She could also see the sincere relationship between her and Lao Lei. In any case, Yang Su had a lifelong partner, which moved President Lin, who was also a woman. The two women were close to each other and had always had a good relationship. When they got together, they naturally had their own topics.
The South African Intelligence Agency was extremely efficient and soon found many suspicious behaviors of the Max Fund.
That day, beside the swimming pool of Zhao's mansion, two senior agents from the Intelligence Agency sang and said: "We found that Mai's Fund has two major clients in South Africa, one of which is the Gentra Fund, which is headquartered in Bloomfontein. Through the company's email business dealings with Mai's Fund, we found Mai's Fund South Africa settlement center in the center of Bloomfontein... Ha, this is really interesting."
At this time, another senior agent suddenly became excited and continued: "It's really interesting. It's hard to imagine that the MacFund South Africa Clearing Center has only four local employees, including two bodyguards, a computer operator, an accountant, and an office computer that can contact the United States. Ha, all this is incredible. Please be honest with me. This is not like an overseas settlement center of a large fund company, but more like a primary school computer course classroom."
The two senior agents said, and at the same time they took out the photos they had taken from the scene and put them on the table.
Yang Su, who was basking in the sun, picked up the photo and looked at it a few times, then waved his hand: "You can leave now."
The two senior agents quickly nodded and smiled and turned to leave. Zhao Daxi called back again. Boss Zhao said with a smile on his face and wrote two checks of 100,000 rands handed over.
At the same time, he smiled and ordered: "Please accept it, don't check the matters of Mai Fund, let's stop here."
Of course, the two agents were happy to take the money. They nodded and bowed and took the check and laughed for a while before leaving happily.
Yang Su took off her sunglasses and looked at the photo with a ridiculous expression: "This is a bit funny. It turns out that the famous Mai Fund is really efficient. This world is so wonderful. Can four people run an overseas business settlement center with a computer?"
Lin Haiyan had already heard it with a look of surprise. After taking a few photos, she looked surprised and couldn't speak.
Lao Lei's expression was so wonderful. After only seeing two photos, he couldn't sit still: "I don't believe it, this is impossible."
After saying that, Yang Suxian was dissatisfied: "There are so many things you don't believe in, and the earth will still move away from you. Who are you?"
Zhao Daxi was calm instead. After taking the photo, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. He stood up and patted Lao Lei's shoulders comfortably twice. He could understand his feelings. The feeling of the collapse of faith was indeed not very good. His own beliefs had collapsed once. He was such an open-minded person who had been so entangled for a long time before he could recover his confidence. He could not accept the fact that he had never accepted it, but in the end he accepted it happily.
At night, study room.
Zhao Daxi leaned against the study door, looked at Lei Yongqiang rubbed his forehead with one hand and kept typing on the keyboard with the other hand. He must be looking up all the information about Mai Fund and trying to find the answer. Zhao Daxi was relieved to drink delicious hot coffee. As long as Lei Yongqiang is such a smart person, as long as he is willing to calm down and think seriously, he will naturally see a lot of suspicion from it. It is only a matter of time to wake up.
A moment later, Zhao Daxi knocked on the door. Lei Yongqiang subconsciously looked up at him, and then hesitated before subconsciously lowering his head.
Zhao Daxi sat opposite him with coffee and spoke casually: "See something?"
Lei Yongqiang's hair had been scratched in a mess for a long time, and he was still stubborn: "If even Mai Fund could be a scam, then what else is true in the financial circle? This is terrible, this is outrageous."
Zhao Daxi saw his face and knew that he had already woken up, but he was unwilling to admit it.
When he said that, he couldn't help but joke: "Lao Lei, this kind of scam seems to have a scientific name, Ponzi scheme?"
Lei Yongqiang was obviously touched by his words, and his face showed an angry expression, but he was finally unable to refute it. For a shrewd financier like him, as long as he was willing to doubt, he could easily see through the suspicious Mai Fund, and use the trust of investors, which was actually not clever in nature.
After a moment of embarrassment, Lao Lei grabbed his hair again: "It would be good that this kind of Ponzi scheme can last for at most three or five years. To put it bluntly, this is just tearing down the east wall and repairing the west wall. It is basically a vicious dead cycle. Once someone asks for the capital to be paid, it should be exposed soon... How could someone have operated such a clumsy scam for more than 20 years? This is theoretically impossible. How did this be done?"
Zhao Daxi looked at him and could only spread his hands innocently: "You are the financial expert, ask me?"
Lei Yongqiang was asked back by him for a while and was stunned. After watching him for a long time, he finally sighed dejectedly and accepted the reality helplessly.
Late at night, Yang's family.
Zhao Daxi and Lin Haiyan sat on one side, Yang Su sat on the other side, and was so happy to accompany Lao Lei to drink and drink with him. Lei Yongqiang poured himself a glass of foreign wine. Yang Su was a little worried and was still with his lover, so he was lazy to care. In the subtle atmosphere, Lin Haiyan couldn't help but pick up a glass and drink it slowly in her hand.
After a silence, Lei Yongqiang finally shouted and cursed: "His grandmother is a claw. I was a long time when I was studying for a PhD in the United States and was a senior member of the Madoff Academic Research Association. I have learned financial theory for half of my life in vain... But it is undeniable that it was Madoff who brought the Nasdaq Exchange to its current status. This person has made contributions to the financial industry."
Even Zhao Daxi was helpless when he heard this. He didn't know how to persuade him, so he just let him talk to himself.
Lei Yongqiang drank a few more glasses of foreign wine, and suddenly slapped the table and laughed wildly, laughing until his tears and snot remained: "This world is so wonderful. I have been studying finance for a lifetime and only realized it today. Any bullshit financial theory can be attributed to one word, cheating."
Zhao Daxi was a little sad when he saw this, so he quickly took the wine glass out of his hand, and carried him back to the bedroom and returned to the bed. Yang Su also showed his true feelings and became gentle. He thoughtfully helped Lao Lei take off his leather shoes. Zhao Daxi was not so stupid that he stayed as a light bulb, so he quickly walked out of the other person's bedroom. He turned around and sat down on the living room on the first floor, and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh when he looked at Lin Haiyan.
Lin Haiyan's face turned red after drinking some wine, and sighed: "This is really outrageous. It's over. I have a premonition that Wall Street is about to have an earthquake."
Zhao Daxi looked around and couldn't help it. He touched her soft thighs with his big hands and changed the topic: "Sister, why are you doing in South Africa? What's the important thing?"
Lin Haiyan's pretty face turned red in an instant and could not say it directly. She was so embarrassed that she came to meet her lover intently. But her shy expression on her face had long been betrayed her. Zhao Daxi couldn't help but pick her up and walked towards the bedroom. President Lin, who was always dignified and serious, had been too embarrassed, but he tried to hold the man's thick neck and refused to let go.
After the night, the next morning.
The Zhao family’s dining table was particularly quiet, but President Lei was still feeling a little sad and helpless. Seeing Zhao Lin and the other two holding back their smiles, they really wanted to laugh and understood him very well. When a person’s belief in life has collapsed, he will inevitably be frustrated and lonely for a while.
