Chapter 397 Another trick of robbing the poor and giving to the rich
The 2007 subprime mortgage crisis.
A company called Lehman suddenly declared bankruptcy and liquidated.
There are many investors in Xiangjiang who have used all their net worth to purchase bonds issued by Lehman.
When Lehman declared bankruptcy, it entered liquidation.
These investors immediately became paupers, so another group of people began to look for a holy place to jump off the building.
Lehman's bankruptcy just opened the curtain for Xiangjiang.
Among the more than 20 members of the Landowners Association, more than a dozen held massive amounts of Lehman bonds. Following the bankruptcy and liquidation of Lehman, these people also suffered heavy losses.
Fortunately, most people are seasoned and know that all eggs cannot be put in the same basket. Although it is hard on their bones and it will take several years to recover, they have managed to survive somewhat.
And some people have a weak foundation, and they will suffer this time.
For example, take Luo Minsheng, he has only debuted for about ten years, and he suffered heavy losses this time. If he cannot recover his health in time, I am afraid this level will kill him.
However, he was unwilling to give in. He could only take a pencil and write calculations on a white paper to check his current financial situation.
Unfortunately, no matter how he calculated it, after this stock market crash, he suffered huge losses with no chance of recovery.
The phone on the table rang, but Luo Minsheng ignored it. Guo Liping, who was sitting next to her, had no choice but to answer it for him.
After a while, Guo Liping put down the phone and said to Luo Minsheng: "Husband, it's Uncle Tong who called, saying that there will be a meeting at the old place tonight."
"Is it Uncle Tong calling?"
Luo Minsheng finally stopped the pencil in his hand, took off his gold-rimmed glasses, and rubbed the dark circles under his eyes.
Being busy for more than half a month made his eyelids swollen and he looked completely out of energy.
"I understand, help me pack my things."
Luo Minsheng gave instructions to his wife, picked up his coat and walked out the door.
The Landowners Association was established in 1973. At that time, it consisted of only seven gold medal brokers. The purpose of forming the Landowners Association was to resist the encirclement and suppression of Chinese capital by foreign capital.
Afterwards, the landlord association formed a monopoly organization in the stock market and securities trading market.
They slowly controlled the stock market in Hong Kong, harvested leeks constantly, and became vampires on the heads of investors.
Su Mingzhe originally looked down upon the landlords.
However, most of the business tycoons in Xiangjiang have joined in. If Su Ji didn't join in, he would be too different.
In 1998, the Landowners Association wanted to recruit Su Ji, and then Su Dingbang followed suit and joined in.
Su Mingzhe also received a call from Uncle Tong and made an appointment to have a meeting at his old place tonight.
When he drove to the place, more than a dozen big guys had been waiting for a long time.
"Wow, you uncles are here so early."
"Azhe is here, sit here."
"Azhe is getting more and more handsome. Let's get together in the evening?"
"Okay, let's get together."
Su Mingzhe greeted everyone and found a sofa to sit down.
"Young Master Zhe."
Luo Minsheng didn't expect that Su Mingzhe would sit next to him, and he quickly greeted him flatteringly:
"It's been a long time since we all got together. How about getting together tonight?"
"You are all busy people, how can I waste your time."
Su Mingzhe declined Luo Minsheng's invitation.
"Azhe, your words shame us to death."
Before Luo Minsheng could continue to speak, Guo Youting leaned over and complained: "We all regard you as a friend, but it's a good thing that you didn't even remind us that we were going to jump into the fire pit."
"Brother Ting, I will not take the blame for this. I have warned you a long time ago, and I have reminded you more than once, but you insist on going your own way, what can I do?"
Su Mingzhe interrupted Guo Youting's words, responded directly, and then said helplessly: "Besides, I was not completely sure at the time. I also lost a lot, almost several billion."
"You only lost a few billion. Aju and I both lost tens of billions. We lost everything we made in the past few years."
Guo Youting really suffered a big loss this time.
Not only Guo Youting, but also several others have almost lost their jobs.
Before the formal meeting, everyone was complaining.
Finally, when Uncle Tong and Uncle Xiang, who were presiding over the meeting, came over, everyone started complaining against them again.
It's just that everyone is having a hard time this year, and if one person is not good, they may be knocked back to their original shape.
The elders here have basically survived hard times, and no one wants to go through hard times again.
"Okay, okay. Brother Xiang and I have already discussed this matter. Now we have a way to save everyone. It depends on whether everyone agrees."
Uncle Tong felt faintly pleased with himself when he saw how everyone was pleading to him.
These guys usually seem to be the boss in the sky, the second boss in the earth, and the third boss in the world. They always discipline them in an unfaithful way.
It's good now that if something happens to these guys, they don't have to come to him.
When Uncle Yun next to him heard this, Uncle Tong and Uncle Xiang had an idea and took the lead in flattering him:
"Brother Tong, whatever you and Brother Xiang say is whatever you want, and we all will follow your lead."
"It's better to come up with your idea and discuss it with everyone."
Uncle Tong smiled and explained the method he had come up with:
"Now that the collapse of the general trend is imminent, it is no longer possible to save it. However, I believe in the power of our landlord association. As long as we work together, there will be no problem in maintaining a basic base."
Seeing that his words attracted everyone's attention, Uncle Tong said some nonsense.
The prosperity of Xiangjiang is based on the stock market, and the stock market is based on several major securities firms.
Therefore, if we want to save Xiangjiang, we must first save several major securities firms.
And isn’t the securities firm in Xiangjiang just the dozen or so people here?
Therefore, Uncle Tong concluded: "As long as we work together and save everyone, we can save the future of Xiangjiang."
When Uncle Tong said the classic fallacy of "robbing the poor and giving to the rich" in a "naturally" tone.
Su Mingzhe was stunned when he heard this.
It turns out that Heshen's fallacy and heresy of "rescuing officials first when rescuing disasters" has always been prevalent in the world.
Among the more than 20 people present, a dozen or so praised Uncle Tong highly for his wisdom, and even praised Uncle Tong for being a living Bodhisattva who rescued those who were suffering.
Some people agree, and naturally some people criticize it.
The Guo family has always been loyal to the country and based on integrity.
When Guo Youting heard a group of people bragging about how they wanted to 'rob the poor and give to the rich', and at the same time they were smug and boasted that they were saints who rescued the market, his brows became deeper and deeper, and finally he couldn't help but slap the table and get up:
"Azhe, I don't feel well, please take me home."
Su Mingzhe was also about to leave. When he heard Guo Youting speak, he naturally agreed happily:
"Then I'll see Brother Ting off."
Not everyone is rich and unkind.
Among the more than 20 people present, a few more people stood up and expressed that they were not feeling well and would not participate.
However, there were still more than a dozen people left in this private room.
Before Su Mingzhe left, he looked at Luo Minsheng who was fidgeting, but didn't see him following him out, so he couldn't help but sigh.
I was quite optimistic about Luo Minsheng originally, but today it seems that Luo Minsheng has lost some responsibility after all.
Guo Youting left the club, waited for a while, and saw Su Mingzhe and a few people walking out, their faces even more gloomy and ugly.
"Okay, Brother Ting, if we don't agree with each other, the worst thing is, we just won't come here anymore."
"What Azhe said is, Brother Ting, let's hold a party by ourselves in the future, and let these dying old men play by themselves."
He Tongcheng, the eldest son of the He family, likes to hang out with people in the entertainment industry. I heard that he caters to both men and women.
Su Mingzhe, Guo Youting and others did not like to play with him.
However, since he also came out of this club today, it proves that although we cannot be like-minded people, we can cooperate with each other in business.
Su Mingzhe also quickly persuaded:
"Brother Cheng is saying, Brother Ting, I will be the host tonight and we rich people will start walking!"
"Azhe, why don't you go to a rich man? I'll find someone to make arrangements. Come to my place. We won't come back until we get drunk tonight."
He Tongcheng took Su Mingzhe and left.
He also knew that Su Mingzhe and he were not the same people, but he couldn't stop Su Mingzhe from being "fair-skinned, beautiful and with long legs", making everyone love him as a puppy.
Such a character is very good even as a friend.
"Brother Cheng, I don't like men."
Su Mingzhe didn't give any face to He Tongcheng and directly took out his hand.
If the relationship between everyone hadn't just eased, he would have wanted to hit someone now.
"Don't worry, the ones I have arranged for everyone tonight are all beauties."
He Tongcheng didn't mind if Su Mingzhe made fun of him.
As long as the other person is beautiful, regardless of gender, he has the patience to make the other person happy.
Of course, most of the time, he is the one who is coaxed.
Su Mingzhe and Guo Youting were brought to a manor by He Tongcheng. As soon as they entered the door, a dozen actresses were sitting in the living room chatting in twos and threes.
As soon as these actresses saw He Tongcheng bringing someone in, they quickly stood up to greet them.
Su Mingzhe took a quick glance and found that many of these female celebrities had relationships with him.
Of course, it's not in this world, but in other film and television planes.
In this world, Su Mingzhe and them can only be regarded as 'first acquaintances'.
Guo Youting was a little unhappy when he saw a group of female celebrities gathered around him. He was particularly disgusted with women in the entertainment industry because of some things he had encountered when he was young.
If he was looking for a woman outside, he would rather go to a nightclub than find a woman from the entertainment industry.
Su Mingzhe also knew the reason. At this time, he could only pat him on the shoulder and ask him to endure it for one night.
In any case, tonight is the first time for both parties to get together, so it’s not easy to just throw up your sleeves and walk away.
Soon the party started.
Everyone ate and drank, and after Guo Youting had a few drinks, he slowly relaxed.
On the other hand, Su Mingzhe kept his arms around the two actresses and didn't drink much. After everyone had enough time to play, he went upstairs to rest.
The next day, when the sun rose three poles high.
Su Mingzhe woke up, pushed aside the two actresses named Piaopiao and Yingying, got dressed and went downstairs.
I heard from the housekeeper that no one else had gotten up yet, so Su Mingzhe left a message and he went back to the company first.
The stock market situation has been volatile recently, and he has to go back to the company to keep an eye on things.
None of his current women are obedient. They all have some money in their bank cards and want to learn how to invest.
As a result, everyone suffered miserably in this subprime mortgage crisis.
He told Guo Youting that he had lost billions, but in fact it was the women around him who paid the loss.
These prodigal bitches!
