During this period, Li Zhengdao was in high spirits.
Ever since his son Li Wende was unlucky enough to be imprisoned, he, who considered himself a carefree guy, has had no good days.
He was constantly nagged by his wife, who looked haggard and worn out, and he was thoroughly annoyed.
But his life changed after Hu Fang returned from Hong Kong Island.
Upon learning that Hu Fang had received benefits from the Liu family, he gritted his teeth and went to their door.
To his utter surprise, Liu Jinshui turned out to be so easy to talk to.
Invest 500 million and get 500 million back? Is there really such a good thing in the world?
In order to secure the 500 million investment, he used his family connections to pressure Peter Ma.
Peter naturally couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to agree.
In this way, he felt that he had built up a considerable fortune. At least he could still live a carefree life after his son was released.
Li Zhengdao, who had been a playboy for half his life, suddenly began to work hard, which made many of the older members of the Li family very happy.
As the saying goes, "a prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold," and Li Zhengdao received the support and praise of many elders in his family.
Just when he had secured the investment and was thinking of settling down and continuing his life of leisure, good fortune came knocking again.
Hu Fang offered him a deal he couldn't refuse.
That is to have him travel all over the world acquiring film investment shares, with Hu Fang bearing all the expenses.
We won't let him do this for free; we'll give him a 10% commission after it's done.
Don't underestimate this 10%; given a large base, it shouldn't be underestimated.
This was an immense fortune for Li Zhengdao.
Moreover, he didn't have to worry about the whole thing; he was basically just a mascot.
To put it bluntly, what they want to take advantage of is the Li family's resources and connections in this area.
Li Zhengdao was naturally happy to get money for free, and he started making contacts everywhere.
But things weren't as simple as he had imagined at first.
Firstly, there are few films being produced, and secondly, even fewer people want to buy them.
Just when he was thinking that this money wasn't so easy to earn, Peter Ma contacted him.
Five movies were put into production in one go, with a total investment of 300 million.
Li Zhengdao led his men to the door without hesitation.
After much back and forth, the final price was set at 400 million.
After all five film scripts were approved and officially launched, the deal was struck, and Li Zhengdao received the agreed-upon 40 million yuan kickback.
It's like money was sent to him from heaven; it was so easy for him.
What he didn't know was what kind of earth-shattering case his mascot would become embroiled in in the future.
The top floor of the Loongson Building in Shanghai.
Hu Fang looked at the dozens of contracts for purchasing shares in film investments in front of him and sighed repeatedly.
"Li Zhengdao really has a way with things; he actually managed to produce five movies."
"Hmph, money makes the world go round, that's normal."
Liu Jinshui's tone was indifferent, but full of disdain.
“Okay, we’ve completed the first step. So what’s next?” Hu Fang asked.
“Keep splitting these shares, keep selling them, do it several times until we can reach our expectations, the more the better,” Liu Jinshui said matter-of-factly.
In other words, they will then use the real contract to create a fake one until they raise the premium on the investment to a satisfactory level.
Then, these shares, which have become incredibly valuable, will be acquired by an investment company under Loongson Group.
In this way, they have completed the entire money laundering process.
Hu Fang raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. "Old Liu, isn't this a bit too obvious? After all, if five movies lose money, it won't be easy for us to explain!"
How to lose money?
Please remove the "if" part!
With their methods, losing money is an inevitable outcome.
Liu Jinshui sneered inwardly and waved his hand, saying, "Our investment company can keep selling those shares to those fools who want to get rich."
"What?" Hu Fang exclaimed in surprise.
That's a really ruthless move; it not only harms oneself but also others.
In this way, it would be a perfect investment, even if it appears to result in a loss on the surface.
After all, the risk of them engaging in underhanded dealings is reduced if passersby join in the collection of flowers.
Hu Fang secretly sighed, "Liu Jinshui truly is a master of the game, having spent his whole life playing the money game."
He asked excitedly, "So how much money are we planning to take this time?"
"It can't be too much. I think 1.5 billion is fine. Too much will easily cause problems," Liu Jinshui said with a smile.
With an initial investment of 1.5 billion, they were able to cash out approximately 1.35 billion in the end, which is a very high percentage.
Hu Fang was naturally very satisfied with this result.
They do this kind of business several times a year, and they can quickly empty Loongson Group's coffers.
After agreeing on the money laundering details, Liu Jinshui began to give instructions.
"Brother Hu, we can't stop promoting the Loongson One chip; we must keep our shareholders enthusiastic and confident. Also, you need to use your connections to expand our sales channels."
"Of course, Loongson is a golden goose in our hands, and I will take good care of it."
"That's good. You stay at headquarters, and I'll lead a team to oversee the factory construction. Let's aim to start production in the second half of the year."
"Haha, no problem. But Lao Liu, you better not steal from me!"
"What you said, Brother Hu."
Liu Jinshui replied with a forced smile, but inwardly he scoffed.
If there's no pumping to do, why should he work for free? Are they treating him like a laborer?
In the end, the Liu family had invested real money; wouldn't it be foolish not to try every means to recoup their losses?
