1311, gray business

Inside the food stall.

The more Xu Fangzhi talked, the more confused he became.

As a novice in financial leverage, Lu Weiwei couldn't understand it at all.

Previously, I used the difference in bank valuations to cleverly use cash flow leverage.

This alone made Lu Weiwei admire her.

But now Xu Fangzhi said that this is only part of the haunted house business, which inevitably makes people feel that the business of buying and selling haunted houses is very deep.

At least laymen can't understand it at all.

Lu Weiwei frowned slightly and asked weakly: "Then what other part of the haunted house business you mentioned?"

Xu Fangzhi pointed at himself.

Lu Weiwei didn't understand and asked again: "What do you mean by yourself?"

"The haunted house business also gave birth to another profession, which is the one I am currently engaged in..."

"Anchor?"

Before Xu Fangzhi could finish speaking, Lu Weiwei interrupted directly.

Xu Fangzhi hesitated for a moment and shook his head silently: "Anchor is just a specific title. I'm talking about Haunted Mansion Sleep Tester."

"Pfft! Haunted house sleep tester?"

Hearing Xu Fangzhi's words, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but laugh out loud: "This...this haunted house needs a sleep tester? Is this a fairy tale?"

"It's not what you think." Feeling that Lu Weiwei's ability to understand was really intoxicating, Xu Fangzhi also retorted:

"Let me ask you, do star hotels, high-quality Internet celebrity hotels, have sleep testers?"

"Yes... yes?" Lu Weiwei glanced at Gu Chen beside her and asked Gu Chen for advice.

Gu Chen nodded silently: "There are some of these, usually some travel bloggers act as sleep testers."

"That's right." Seeing that Gu Chen still knew a little bit about it, Xu Fangzhi also explained: "Usually it's a star hotel that invites these influential people in the industry for free and lets them try it out for a night, and then share their experiences.

To the fans.”

"In the same way, as a live-streaming internet celebrity, they certainly hope to use my platform to show their fans the sleep-trial experience of a haunted house."

"Oh, I see." After hearing what Xu Fangzhi said, Lu Weiwei immediately said: "I just heard you call and said that you were going to work at night. Could it be that you were asked to be a sleep tester?"

"Yes, you just knew?"

It seemed that Lu Weiwei's reaction was really slow, so Xu Fangzhi didn't care and just explained to the two of them:

"It's because of the haunted house trade that this type of profession was born."

"A haunted house sleep tester, as the name suggests, is a profession where you can make money by sleeping on a bed."

"But..." Gu Chen hesitated for a moment, looked at Xu Fangzhi and asked, "But how did you get this job? It's too biased."

"You can make money only by going to the sidelines." Seeing that Gu Chen and the others didn't understand at all, Xu Fangzhi said truthfully:

"Actually, I didn't know much about the situation at first, but later during the live broadcast, a fan told me that a company was recruiting sleep testers, and the salary was not low."

"I went to the platform to watch it as soon as it aired. Oh my god, they are openly recruiting hosts for the haunted house sleep trial."

"What is that? Is it still available now? I also want to apply for a job as a haunted house sleep anchor. I don't believe in evil."

Lu Weiwei found the right opportunity and wanted to compete with Xu Fangzhi for her job.

Xu Fangzhi's face immediately darkened and he looked Lu Weiwei up and down.

After a while, Xu Fangzhi sneered and replied: "People need experience, and you definitely can't do it."

"Besides, how can there be so many recruitments for Haunted Mansion sleep testers? I stood out among more than 100 competitors."

"So awesome?" Feeling that Xu Fangzhi still had some background, Lu Weiwei changed her confident smile and continued to ask him in a humble tone:

"So what were the main requirements for recruiting a haunted house sleep trial host on the platform at that time?"

"Main requirement?" As time passed, Xu Fangzhi still thought about it for a while, and then told Lu Weiwei:

“At the time, I only remembered that the reason for their recruitment was that the platform was about to launch a set of well-decorated ‘haunted houses’, so they urgently recruited a ‘haunted house trial host’ to show the house types and living experience 24 hours a day.”

"As for the Haunted House sleep trial host, do you have any requirements?" Gu Chen was also curious.

After all, this is a new profession.

Although Gu Chen currently doesn't know the connection between Xu Fangzhi and the previous fraud gang, his current career is indeed easy to imagine.

Xu Fangzhi smiled faintly: "Requirements? Of course there are recruitment requirements. You are required to be bold and careful, and you must also believe in science."

"In addition, I remember that there was a reminder in the job description, which said that for the first time, I need to live in the 'haunted house' for 24 hours and explain my trial living experience through live broadcast."

"And secondly, you must be a staunch atheist, believe in science, and not be afraid of listening to ghost stories late at night."

"Is there a third one?" Lu Weiwei continued to ask.

Xu Fangzhi nodded fiercely: "Of course, the third factor is whether you have relevant experience, and extra points for having experience in sleeping in a star-rated hotel."

Pointing to himself, Xu Fangzhi added: "But I have never been a sleep tester, but I have been an outdoor anchor and have experience in live broadcasting."

"In fact, the content of this job is also very simple, that is, after staying in a haunted house, start a live broadcast to explain your experience."

"For me, a professional anchor, this is tailor-made and there is no problem at all."

"So, you stand out among these more than 100 people?" Lu Weiwei asked.

Xu Fangzhi spread his hands: "Otherwise? What do you think?"

"Others may have specialties of one kind or another, but I am better than them in anchoring experience."

"Of course there are some people who have done live broadcasts, but they don't have as many fans as me, plus I use my various eloquence to market myself, so..."

"Haha, aren't you too Versailles?" It felt like Xu Fangzhi was praising him in a different direction, and Lu Weiwei also complained.

Xu Fangzhi waved his hand: "You don't understand. Originally, I was not interested in this, but more than 100 people came to compete."

"But what interests me is that as a host of a haunted house sleep trial, I can get paid 1 yuan per minute."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Calculated in this way, you can earn 1,440 yuan a day."

"This salary... is quite low." Hearing Xu Fangzhi's words, Gu Chen was also quite surprised.

Otherwise, why did it attract more than 100 people to sign up?

"It turns out that there are so many courageous people in this world, and a large part of the reason is for money?" Gu Chen couldn't help but said after thinking of this:

"But most people who want to buy a haunted house to live in must have some entanglements in their hearts, right? The haunted house sleepers should exist to resolve such entanglements."

"Brother, what you said makes sense."

Just as Xu Fangzhi finished speaking, the landlady also brought several people rice bowls with shredded green pepper and pork.

Because everyone was sitting together and ordered the same dish.

Therefore, Xu Fangzhi was particularly fond of the two of them and did not have too much caution.

After the few people interacted with each other, they instantly felt that they were quite compatible, so while eating, they revealed some secrets to Gu Chen.

"While doing this live broadcast, you can't just share your sleep trial experience. Sometimes, you have to choose the right time to post the purchase price of the haunted house."

"Or you can live stream and auction at the same time. This way you can maximize your business."

"Is that useful?" Gu Chen asked him curiously while eating the dishes.

Xu Fangzhi grinned: "How could this be useless? Let me tell you this, in Su City, Gusu District, there is a haunted house over there. They used live broadcast to attract traffic, and 24 people signed up to bid."

"In the end, this haunted house was auctioned for 2.83 million. At this price, it was 800,000 higher than the market appraisal price."

"And this high premium is due to the sleep testers of the Haunted Mansion."

"Could it be that the other 23 bidders are all fake, and only one bidder really wants to buy?"

Gu Chen's words almost choked Xu Fangzhi who was eating.

After coughing a few times, Xu Fangzhi waved his hand and said, "That's not the case. I believe there must be some, but definitely not so many."

Lu Weiwei smiled faintly: "Maybe, some time ago, someone in our community was defrauded by financial fraud and was lured to the so-called financial investment master group by the scammer."

"There were more than 100 people in a group, but it turned out that except for him, they were all liars. The group of people worked closely together, and by touting each other, the victims in my community believed it was true. They really thought they could make a lot of money by following the master."

"What's the result? I spent 300,000 yuan in vain to pay homage to a liar, and this is not the first time this has happened."

"I...I know that the situation you mentioned does exist, but the case I mentioned is real."

Feeling that he couldn't handle Lu Weiwei, Xu Fangzhi took a few bites of food to calm himself down.

Lu Weiwei continued to ask him: "In addition to playing with cash flow financial leverage and having sleep testers, are there other profits from this kind of haunted house trading?"

"Does that need to be said? It's the most primitive real estate speculation." Xu Fangzhi picked up the paper cup, took a glass of water from the water dispenser next door, took a sip and said:

"In addition to trying to sleep, there is also a group of people who make huge profits from haunted houses."

"For example, in Hong Kong City, there is a legendary figure called the 'Haunted House King'. Do you know who he is?"

"No... I don't know." Of course Lu Weiwei didn't know, it felt like something far away.

But Gu Chen nodded and said, "Is it Wu Guanliu, who is known as the Ghost King in the industry?"

"Haha?" After hearing what Gu Chen said, Xu Fangzhi raised his head and stared at Gu Chen, and said with admiration: "I didn't expect that you even know about Wu Guanliu, the ghost king in Hong Kong City?"

Gu Chen smiled faintly: "I have seen some reports about him in relevant media, so I have some impressions."

"Yeah, that's right." Xu Fangzhi nodded silently and agreed:

"The industry calls him the Ghost King because he often buys haunted houses at low prices, hoards them for a period of time, and then sells them at high prices, taking advantage of the so-called time difference to make huge profits."

Looking around, Xu Fangzhi approached Gu Chen and whispered: "It is said that he has at least dozens of haunted houses in his hands."

"Moreover, it is mainly used for selling and leasing to some tenants who do not believe in evil. It is said that this Wu Guanliu made tens of millions just by buying and selling and renting out haunted houses."

Hearing what Xu Fangzhi said, Lu Weiwei couldn't believe it and said, "So the business of buying and selling haunted houses is so profitable?"

"Then if that's the case, wouldn't there be a lot of investors like us from the mainland?" By analogy, Gu Chen felt that this should be the case.

But I just haven't seen it myself.

Xu Fangzhi grinned: "Does this need to be said? In the Mainland, there are also many investors who specialize in investing in haunted houses."

"But this business is relatively gray and will not be noticed by normal people."

Gu Chen nodded silently and couldn't help but say: "But whether it's buying a haunted house to live in, taking out a mortgage, or buying and selling it to earn the difference."

"Behind every haunted house is actually a human tragedy."

"But these tragedies are used as financial products, bought and sold by anyone, and even turned into a stepping stone for investment and financial management."

After thinking about it carefully, Gu Chen also shook his head and said: "It seems that what is really scary... is not the haunted house itself, but the people and reality that created the haunted house."

"Haha, everything you said is right, but business is business after all. If you don't do this business, someone will naturally do it."

After swallowing a few mouthfuls of food, Xu Fangzhi couldn't help but said: "But with three hundred and sixty lines, he will be the number one scholar."

"As for the business behind this haunted house, only you can imagine it, no one else can."

Lu Weiwei blinked her beautiful eyes and couldn't help but complain: "Then I think the haunted house can be bought to escape the heat. This way, it always feels like the shade behind it is cool, so it doesn't feel hot anymore."

"Good guy, the business opportunity came right away." Xu Fangzhi chuckled and said with a slight smile: "So, this can also be a selling point. I can use this line when I broadcast live at night."

"Then what's your online name? Maybe we can watch your live broadcast then." Given this opportunity, Gu Chen found every opportunity and established a connection instantly.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xu Fangzhi grinned: "My name is 'Haunted House Sleep Tester Xiao Xu'. I am somewhat famous in this industry. Whenever there is a haunted house for sale around Jiangnan City, they will come to me."

I’m quite happy to cooperate.”

"The most important thing is not the one dollar per minute live broadcast fee, but the commission after selling the haunted house. That's a lot of money. Whether you can make ends meet or not depends on it."

"So that's it?" While Lu Weiwei was teasing, she had already taken out her mobile phone and followed "Haunted Mansion Sleep Tester Xiao Xu".

Seeing this, Gu Chen asked out of curiosity: "From your accent, you're not a local, right?"

"Yes, I live in Haidong City." Xu Fangzhi said.

"Then why did you come to work around Jiangnan City?" Gu Chen also asked the question.

After all, according to the clues Gu Chen knew before, Xu Fangzhi had been working in Shanghai, and was also engaged in industry journals.

But now it suddenly appears around Jiangnan City, which makes it easy for people to imagine.

And this is exactly the reason why Gu Chen wants to get close to Xu Fangzhi, the purpose is to find out the operation behind Xu Fangzhi.

When Xu Fangzhi heard this, he suddenly fell silent.

Lu Weiwei's expression was stunned and she quickly asked him: "What's wrong?"

"You must be locals, right?" Looking up at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, Xu Fangzhi's expression instantly turned melancholy.

Lu Weiwei burst into laughter and said: "What are the locals and not locals? Yes, we are locals, but is there a problem with this?"

"Then you probably can't understand how I feel." Xu Fangzhi put down his chopsticks and pursed the grease stains at the corners of his mouth, and then said:

"In fact, anyone who has worked hard in a big city should have experienced this scene, that is, more than 200 people queuing up in a space of less than 30 square meters."

"Then the air was mixed with the smell of pancakes and cheap perfume."

"And the time after get off work is basically not that fun anymore."

"So... what do you want to say?" Gu Chen didn't quite understand, feeling that Xu Fangzhi's mood was uncertain.

Xu Fangzhi disagreed and said: "I'm talking about the days when I worked in the Magic City. After nine hours of mechanical work, compared to the night in the Magic City, the single bed in the village in the city was more desirable."

"And when taking the subway, I no longer expect to have a seat. It's good to just lean in the corner of the carriage door and rest for a while."

After thinking about it, Xu Fangzhi added: "Oh, by the way, it is best to take the subway when you are tired after get off work. It is best not to encounter those old people who rely on their old age and take the initiative to ask for seats."

"That's when I started thinking about my own possibilities in this city."

"But this possibility does not refer to whether you can live here, but to why you should live here?"

"So you left the Magic City and came to Jiangnan City, where life is less stressful?" Gu Chen asked.

Xu Fangzhi nodded silently and took the initiative to explain: "The main reason is that my girlfriend works in Jiangnan City."

"Before, she suffered a lot in the devil city just to follow me, so she felt tired."

"And when I returned to the cramped rental house in Shanghai that day, she just hung up the phone and said that she had just received the interview notice and wanted to try somewhere else, that is, Jiangnan City."

After a pause, Xu Fangzhi said with a wry smile: "In the final analysis, people often just try to see if they can do it? Can they try changing positions? Can they try changing companies? Can they try changing careers again?"

"She is a musician, and she asked me, if she doesn't sing anymore, what else can she do?"

"Then she probably wants to leave the Magic City." Lu Weiwei gave the answer from a female perspective.

"Yes." Xu Fangzhi grinned and nodded in recognition: "So, if there is no improvement, leaving will be on the agenda."

"I also talked about this topic with my girlfriend, and her answer was more direct. She said it would be great if she could stay. Even if she doesn't think about herself, she should think about the next generation, right?"

"But when I heard the word next generation, I was suddenly shocked."

"But it seemed that she saw my worry, so she added: If you are really too tired, you can leave at the worst possible time, as long as the trip is not in vain."

After smiling, Xu Fangzhi sighed, trying to calm down, and then said again:

"As for how to make sure it's not in vain, my later understanding is this. If you don't want to study penguins, you don't need to go to Antarctica."

"If you don't want to make movies, you don't have to stay in Hengdian."

"In other words, the reason why you want to stay somewhere is because it is closer to what you are pursuing."

"It's a pity that many people only care about staying, but forget why they want to stay."

"But I know that not everyone still has the energy to pursue the meaning of work while coping with life."

"Including myself, I have worked as a tool several times for food and clothing, but gradually I discovered that finding the meaning of work is not a hypocritical thing."

"You are right." Seeing that Xu Fangzhi had such a sentiment, he must be a temperamental person.

At least Gu Chen could empathize with it, so he replied with a faint smile: "Because the word 'meaning' is premised on 'interest' and 'talent'."

"It's so difficult." Xu Fangzhi shook his head: "You are right, but if you can't find these two things, it will be difficult for your efforts to turn your work into a career."

"That may sound a little cruel, but it is what it is."

After a pause, Xu Fangzhi changed the subject and added: "Of course, searching requires courage and a certain economic price."

"But this price will probably make you live in the urban village longer, and you will still not be understood when you go home for the New Year."

"But at least, when you struggle in the next year, you can understand yourself better because of this."

Hammering his chest, Xu Fangzhi also smiled self-deprecatingly: "Take me for example, for an ordinary young man in his twenties, this is far more important than the promise of his boss, the support of his family, and the living environment.

It’s much more important.”

"Since my girlfriend decided to come to Jiangnan City to work, I quit my job in Shanghai and came here with her."
