Chapter 72: Completely Brainwashed
When Gu Yunxi's camera lit up again, everyone realized that she had moved to another location.
"Hi everyone, I came to his city specifically to lure Ji Yuntao out. I'm currently in a hotel, just letting you all know I'm safe. I'm going to call this man now and ask him to come out to see if he'll fall for my trap."
The fans watched her curiously, wondering what method she would use to lure that man out.
Gu Yunxi picked up her personal cell phone and dialed the number. The phone rang a few times before being answered!
A man's voice came through. Upon hearing that Gu Yunxi wanted to work with him, he seemed unusually excited and quickly asked for the address, saying he would come over immediately.
"Everyone heard that, right? This Mr. Ji has become obsessed. He wants to make money, and he wants to make money off us. So when he heard that I wanted to invest hundreds of thousands, he rushed over to see me. For those who love money, we have to cater to their desires. Did you all learn that?"
Off-camera, Gu Yunlang sat in a chair, increasingly feeling that his sister was incredibly bold.
Not long after the phone call ended, the new mother arrived, and Gu Yunlang took her to the next room.
He repeatedly warned them not to come out until they had finished dealing with the situation.
A few minutes later, the doorbell rang, and Ji Yuntao walked in.
All the way there, he wondered who would invite him to a hotel, but the most important thing was hearing that sweet voice, which melted his heart.
To my surprise, a man opened the door; I thought he was using a voice changer.
"Is this President Ji? I called to invite you. Come and have a seat."
Gu Yunxi stood up. "By the way, I'm also a small-time streamer. My fans can chat and share their daily lives. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Ji Yuntao was surprised to find that she was a small-time streamer, and felt a strange sense of unease. However, since she was there to give him money, he decided to just bear with it.
I don't know what kind of screen protector she had on her phone; I didn't see anything.
"It's nothing. I didn't expect the person on the phone to be so beautiful."
He sat opposite Gu Yunxi, who glanced at the camera and then placed the phone face down on the table.
"President Ji, I didn't expect you to be a boss at such a young age. I only heard from others that you have ways to make money."
You know how it is for us livestreamers. Without a sufficient fan base, it's all for nothing. Even if we stream for a whole day and night, we'd barely make a hundred or two hundred yuan. I'm not short of money. I have dozens of fans on hand. I only do livestreaming for fun when I have nothing else to do during the holidays.
Don't worry, my live stream only has a dozen or so viewers at most. I'm a small streamer, you know how it is, no traffic, no promotion. The guy next to me is my brother, so don't feel pressured. We're here specifically for you.
Could you tell us what kind of work you do? How should we work under your guidance?
Ji Yuntao's eyes darted around, looking at the two of them as if they were idiots:
"I have special connections here. If you ask me what exactly I do, I can only tell you three words: I work in finance."
The second son works in finance, but I've never heard of him making that much money. Gu Yunlang walked over and sat down on the sofa.
"Mr. Ji, finance is a huge field. I don't know which aspect you're in. I've heard that you can make a lot of money in a week if you invest in it. I wonder if that's true."
"Of course! Let me put it this way: seeing how devout you are, I'll secretly tell you how to make money!"
Just as Ji Yuntao was about to speak, an unknown number called. Gu Yunxi glanced at his phone screen and silently memorized the number.
After he answered the phone, he heard a broken voice on the other end: "President Ji, President Ji, please have mercy and forgive me for a few days."
Ji Yuntao's expression changed. He said he had dialed the wrong number and quickly hung up, but the number called again, six or seven times in a row. After he hung up, there was no further communication.
"This way of making money is actually very simple, especially for people like you two. There is no pressure in entering our industry. To give you an example, we are actually a small loan company."
In other words, as others have mentioned, we lend money out. Normally, we charge them 5% interest. However, people who urgently need money won't read the contract carefully. After they sign, put their fingerprints, and the loan is disbursed, we'll figure out a way to charge a 30% handling fee.
"What?"
Gu Yunlang jumped up in surprise, "A 30% handling fee? That's so high? So you mean if you lend out 100,000 yuan, you can earn 30,000 yuan?"
[He's gone mad. This so-called CEO Ji has been brainwashed. No wonder that stay-at-home mom said her husband wouldn't listen to reason. He spent 300,000 yuan to buy a CEO position, and then took out another 90,000 yuan for himself as pocket money. For an ordinary family, a couple couldn't save that much in a year. He thinks he's hit the jackpot.]
Is this man an idiot? What era are we living in? He still believes in this kind of trick. Did he pay back his father for nine years of compulsory education?
[Sigh, now I finally understand what it means to be blinded by money. Look at him, the moment the streamer mentions investing, his eyes light up like he's eyeing a meal, wishing the streamer would invest a million or two right now!]
[Are there also scams? Didn't these loan companies go bankrupt? How come they're back up again?]
Sigh! Scams keep coming up with new tricks. Just move to a different location, who knows? It's the same old trick in a different guise!
"Hey buddy, calm down, calm down."
Ji Yuntao quickly patted his shoulder, gesturing for him to sit down.
"This is nothing. If you join our company, the more money you lend out, the higher the rewards will be. We might even let you travel all over the country. Do you have any questions? I have a limited number of spots left, just two."
[This is hilarious! Any scammer will say they only have one or two spots left!]
In another bedroom, Li Yunxia stood by the door, wanting to go out several times. This man had never told her the truth before, but unexpectedly, he told her everything in order to swindle money from others.
She's finally made up her mind. She'll find a way to pay off the 300,000 yuan loan and get a divorce. She's had enough of this life.
"Mr. Ji, I have another question. You know that my brother and I sincerely want to cooperate with you to make a lot of money. Maybe my few fans in the live broadcast room also have the same idea. For example, what if we lend out 100,000 or 200,000 yuan to someone and they can't repay it?"
Ji Yuntao leaned back in his chair and crossed his legs:
"You two don't need to worry about that. Anyone who can afford to run a loan company here naturally has their own ways of getting the money back. We just need to focus on lending money and making money. We don't need to worry about anything else."
"oh!"
Gu Yunxi deliberately drew out her words, "I see. So, what's the minimum and maximum requirements for cooperating with you?"
Ji Yuntao immediately perked up, "How much money do you two actually have?"
