According to reports, this story begins at an entirely unscientific moment: Zhou Ziye, a designer who rose from creating counterfeit mobile phones, suddenly time-traveled back to the year 1984.
...Chapter 383 High-profit wealth often comes from unscrupulous means.
Su Ya shook her head slightly and said, "My boyfriend didn't give it to me. He said anyone involved in finance is a scammer?"
"Liar! How could he be a liar? Wall Street is a globally recognized financial district, legally sanctioned. Do you think everyone outside is a liar? Your partner is really prejudiced," Sister Wang said angrily, her voice somewhat loud.
The once quiet coffee shop was suddenly filled with attention as everyone looked at the two of them, and even the waiters came over to remind them.
Su Ya stirred her coffee and said softly, "I thought about that investment you mentioned, and there are indeed many unreasonable aspects to it."
“What’s unreasonable about it? As long as it makes money, it’s reasonable.” Sister Wang said in a low voice, not wanting to be warned or kicked out.
"Think about it! Ten thousand yuan, you get a 5% rebate if you bring in three people, that's the profit point. If you can't bring in anyone, will you not give it to them?"
Sister Wang said with a dismissive tone, "Yeah! There's no such thing as free money. It's just the minimum task of recruiting three people. It's not like it's that difficult."
"Where does the profit come from the rebate? Does it come from the principal of the three people?" Su Ya asked sharply, hitting the nail on the head.
"How could that be! Investing is about concentrating resources to make bigger investments. Have you heard of private equity? It's about privately raising more funds to make a highly profitable investment. The profits are then given to you as rebates." Sister Wang spoke with great emotion and gestures, making it sound quite comical.
"Sister Wang, I also studied finance and have already graduated from a junior college. In my knowledge, there is no stable and highly profitable way to make money."
"Yes! They invest in one project and then move on to the next! We're just getting a slice of their profits, while they're the ones making the meat."
Suya continued stirring her coffee, then said, "I'm sorry, Sister Wang, I don't agree with your investment philosophy. This investment is extremely risky for me."
"Since you studied finance and are on Wall Street, haven't you heard the saying that all investments carry risk?" Sister Wang was unwilling to let a high-quality client slip away and was trying her best to salvage the situation.
"The risks can be high or low, it's just a matter of personal choice. Your design is a scam. No, all kinds of financial management and even investment on Wall Street are scams."
Seeing how determined Su Ya was, Sister Wang had no choice but to give up. She couldn't understand it either. How could proper, legitimate, and honest financial management be considered a scam?
“I recently read a report. Do you know about an investment company in Hong Kong called Haina? They started a betting agreement on Wall Street. Many large institutions and investment banks participated, and the first to sign the agreement was Lehman Brothers.”
"I don't know about the betting agreement, but I do know about Haina Investment." Su Ya smiled slightly when talking about Haina Investment.
“You said all investments are scams, so were Lehman Brothers stupid? Didn’t they also use customers’ savings to participate in a scam?” Sister Wang said.
“Yes! If we lose, the clients’ deposits might be gone. But if we win, the clients only get interest on their funds, that’s all,” Su Ya said.
"Isn't this the same principle? Our company doesn't have the qualifications or accreditation of a bank, so we can only share profits with investors through high returns." Sister Wang changed her approach and continued to persuade Su Ya.
"So, your company also participated in the betting agreement?" Su Ya asked in surprise.
"We, as investors, are not qualified to know the specific projects we invest in; that's confidential information," Sister Wang said, shrugging her shoulders.
Suya said, "I'm still not going to vote."
It was such a simple sentence, yet it left Sister Wang speechless, all that talk for nothing.
Su Ya thought, what if this fraudulent company pooled its funds to gamble against Xing Baohua? If she got involved, wouldn't that be providing the enemy with financial and firepower support?
As the two were talking, Su Ya's pager went off. She picked it up, smiled slightly, and said to Sister Wang, "Sorry! My boyfriend is going to Los Angeles. I'll go pack my things and leave right away."
"I also fly to Los Angeles often, but I don't think there are any flights today!" Sister Wang thought Su Ya was making excuses to avoid her, so she quickly asked, just wanting Su Ya to stop making excuses.
"I don't know, it was all arranged by my boyfriend. He can go wherever he wants without waiting for a flight." After saying that, Su Ya picked up her bag and got up to leave.
Sister Wang curled her lip upon hearing this. The Chinese are getting better and better at boasting. Why don't they just blow away that bull on Wall Street?
Perhaps seeing the disdain in Sister Wang's eyes, Su Ya paused slightly, turned around and said to her, "Oh! I forgot to tell you something, my boyfriend has a private jet. He's also the chairman of Haina Investment, which you just mentioned."
After saying that, he ignored Sister Wang completely and left.
Wang Jie, who was even more disbelieving, was left there pouting.
Not long after, as Su Ya walked into the hall, a group of people suddenly entered, led by a young man.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this young man was no ordinary person.
Sister Wang even saw Su Ya approach the young man on her own initiative, put her arm around his arm, and walk towards the elevator together.
Sister Wang was shocked, wondering if what Su Ya said was true.
Su Ya accompanied Xing Baohua back to the room to start packing, and asked, "Why did you suddenly want to go to Los Angeles?"
"Before coming here, I had someone contact a director. We're going to shoot an advertisement for Luzhong Automobile Factory, right? We'll go over and talk to them. It won't take more than a few days," Xing Baohua explained.
