Chapter 715: The Wolf of Wall Street

When the New York Police Department walks in with a somewhat scruffy, dazed guy who claims to be responsible for a homicide 10 years ago, the police immediately take it seriously.

At the same time, Lawyer Field also officially entered the scene to follow up on this matter, preventing the police or the judge from operating secretly.

A month later, when Andy received the notice that he was required to return to New York to appear in court, and the case was retried, Andy was so excited that he seemed to see the light of day.

Bright dawn.

When Andy left the prison, the warden's expression changed. He really wanted to kill Andy, because Andy had too much evidence of his corruption, but the lawyer kept guarding him and never gave him a chance.

The warden's worries were of no avail, and Andy was picked up by the New York court.

New York State Legislature,

court session,

The judge sat in the main seat, looked at Elmo in the dock, and asked, "Elmo Shitil, do you have any objections to your robbery and murder case?"

Elmo was silent for two seconds, then shook his head slightly and said, "I have no objection."

The judge picked up the verdict and announced: "The court pronounces that Elmo is guilty of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment and will be detained in Shawshank Prison."

Elmo was taken down by the bailiff, and after a while, another person walked out from behind. This person had a tall figure and melancholy eyes. He looked at this once familiar place, and countless feelings arose in his heart.

"Mr. Andy Dufresne, the Japanese court sentenced you for murder on October 7, 1947. Due to insufficient evidence, the previous judgment is revoked."

After the judge finished speaking, he slammed the hammer in his hand.

Andy's hands were clenched tightly, and tears could not help but flow down. Finally, he was free at last. He got rid of his grievances. After 10 years of life in prison, he cried for himself.

Lawyer Field walked up to Andy and said with a smile, "Andy, congratulations on being free."

Andy gave Lawyer Field a hug, "Thank you, Mr. Lawyer."

"No, I'm just doing things with money. You should thank Mr. Tony Stark." Lawyer Field said.

"I feel that my gratitude to him cannot be expressed in one sentence." Andy said.

"Hehe, Mr. Stark has given orders to celebrate you at the bar tonight, and now I'll take you to the hotel to take a shower and change."

Andy looked at his clothes and smiled.

night,

When Andy walked into the lively bar, he felt very uncomfortable. He had been imprisoned for ten years. Although he often read books and watched TV, he was still somewhat out of touch with the real society. I am afraid he will have to adapt for a while.

in the box,

Jiang Hao was sitting on the long sofa, looking at the lively dance floor below, slowly spinning a cigar in his hand, when the door opened, Andy and Lawyer Field walked in, Jiang Hao smiled, " Sit down and have a drink."

"Mr. Stark, thank you for your help to find the robber. I heard Lawyer Field said that you spent a lot of money and used the power of the entire Italian mafia. I can only thank you. Also, I am willing to fulfill the previous Promise." Andy said.

In fact, he just wanted to save him, that's all, just now he was thinking about how to settle Andy, "Well, I have a spare fund on hand, didn't you come from Wall Street, let's see how to use it to make money. "

"How many?" Andy asked.

"$10 million, cash."

Hearing this number, Field felt his heart drop suddenly. A person with 10 million in cash is definitely at the level of a rich man, and of course, he is someone he cannot afford to offend.

Jiang Hao took out two wads of cash from his pocket, put them on the table and said to Field, "Lawyer Field, thank you for your previous work, I am very satisfied."

Field took the money and put it in his purse, and stood up very sensiblely, "Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Stark, then I will leave. If you want anything in the future, you can call me and I will serve you at any time." .”

The lawyer left, and only Jiang Hao and Andy were left in the room. Jiang Hao said, "How do you think the money should be used?"

Andy thought for a while and said, "Investing in stocks, I can guarantee an annual profit growth rate of 8% to 10%."

"Is there a faster one?"

Andy was silent for a while, "Then you need to walk on the edge of the law, and you can use this fund to speculate in stocks to achieve greater returns."

"Oh, how to hype?" Jiang Hao became interested.

"Operate some junk stocks, raise their stock prices, absorb the money of retail investors, and when we make enough profits, sell the stocks in our hands. It is estimated that the profit can be 50% or doubled in one operation."

Jiang Hao nodded, "Good idea, is there any more?"

"Alternatively, we can directly get a stock out, own a large number of original shares, and then operate the listing, hype the concept to make a lot of money in the stock market, and then sell it secretly. In this case, it should be three to five times the profit. Not difficult."

Jiang Hao smiled, as expected of a banker, this trick is very slippery, it is definitely a replica of "The Wolf of Wall Street".

"Is there any more, a bigger one?" Jiang Hao asked.

Andy was silent for a while, then said, "Yes, but the risk is greater."

"How big."

"If things come to light, maybe the entire Wall Street consortium will chase us down," Andy said.

Jiang Hao likes exciting things.

"Tell me."

"Set up a securities investment company, operate well in the early stage, and after earning a certain reputation, promise high returns. The normal rate of return is around 8% to 10%. We can promise 15% to 20% to attract a large amount of client funds. "

Andy continued: "We can pay the brokerage companies who place trading orders with us, so that these brokerage companies will not send orders to the New York Stock Exchange or the local exchange, and we can become independent securities trading companies." Traders, that way, no one knows what kind of trade we're in."

The smile on Jiang Hao's face became stronger, he already knew what Andy was going to do, and added: "I think you should work hard to build yourself and become the new king of Wall Street, so that you can attract more investors' attention. "

"In the eyes of the rich, money is just a symbol. In addition to higher income, they also pursue a status symbol. They must grasp the psychology of the rich and create their own mysterious and noble image."

"Not only to absorb private funds, but also to cooperate with banks in the later stage. They are the biggest funds. As long as they return 2% of the profits every month, those banks and individuals will always invest in you. In fact, their funds will always be in yours. The capital pool is rolling, the snowball is getting bigger and bigger, of course, your hole is getting bigger and bigger, "empty glove white wolf" plus "tear down the east wall to pay the west wall", a very good Ponzi scheme." Jiang Hao laughed said.

Andy looked at Jiang Hao in surprise, "I didn't expect you to see through it at a glance, then this plan may not be easy to implement."

Jiang Hao shook his head, "No, in the face of interests, there are very few people who can see through this deception, as long as you operate well, even if they see through it, so what, at the end of the day, they will run away with the money and change their identity. "

It is the United States in the 1960s, and the financial system is far less strict than that of the 21st century. However, even in the 21st century, such scams still abound. There are countless such cases every year, and countless people are still deceived.

What about the United States, Chairman of Bernard Madoff Investment Securities Company, an investment guru as famous as "Stock God" Buffett, Jewish "Godfather of Funds", former chairman of Nasdaq - Bernard Madoff, fraudulent funds As high as 65 billion U.S. dollars, 65 billion, during which it has been in operation for nearly 20 years. If it were not for the 2008 financial crisis, this scam would not have broken down, and it might have continued forever. You said that the US financial regulatory system is not good, but if it weren’t for him Unable to withstand the pressure, he asked his son to report him to protect his family. The financial regulators in the United States don't know yet.

"Are you afraid?" Jiang Hao asked Andy.

Andy shook his head, "Bankers and financiers are not a clean group of people."

"Then it's decided like this. Take a break, find a girl to relax, and adapt to the current world. I will give you a sum of money to set up a securities trading company, and then we will work hard to collect money." Jiang Hao said with a smile.

"Good boss." Andy toasted Jiang Hao.

That night, Andy was drunk. When he woke up, he found a young woman lying in his arms. At this moment, he finally realized that he was about to start another life.

A few days later, Andy returned to Wall Street radiantly, registered a company named "Andy Dufresne Investment Securities Company", with a registered capital of 10 million US dollars, rented a luxurious office building on Wall Street, and started his financial career .
