1147 Chapter 1147: Money Madness
Liu Liu’s meaning was very clear. If Daddy wanted to stay, he didn’t want Daddy to carry him. He wanted Daddy to stay and accompany Grandpa. He wanted Daddy to accompany Mommy to go abroad.
Everyone couldn’t help but laugh. They were about to board the plane soon. Liu Liu had already learned how to blow kisses. In order to appease Grandpa’s hurt heart, he blew a kiss to Song Chi before saying goodbye. “Mu Ah, Grandpa. Bye Bye.”
“Liu Liu, bye bye.”Song Chi had also become a child. He followed Liu Liu and blew kisses. He did not forget to remind her, “Remember to send a video call to grandfather.”
With Liu Liu nodding her head in agreement, song Mian carried Liu Liu and held Yun Xiangxiang’s hand as they boarded the plane.
They had already boarded the plane a few times, but Liu Liu was still very excited. Yun Xiangxiang could not handle his exuberant energy after playing with him for an hour, so she could only hand him over to song Mian and watch the father and son interact.
She did not know why but she started to feel sleepy. She actually fell asleep while leaning on the side.
Song Mian was the first person to realize that Yun Xiangxiang was asleep. Just as he was about to stand up, Liu Liu walked towards Yun Xiangxiang before him.
There was a thin blanket at the end of the sofa. He walked over, pulled the blanket over and pulled it towards Yun Xiangxiang.
Although he was weak and could not cover Yun Xiangxiang properly, he did his best to cover her from the shoulders down.
Song Mian used her phone to record the whole process and sent it to his wife.
He walked up and patted Liuliu’s head. He gave her a thumbs up and complimented her on how great he was. Then, he helped her with her work.
Then, he picked her up and whispered in his ear, “Mom, rest. Let’s go play on the other side.”
In order not to disturb Yun Xiangxiang, the father and son began to play a quiet game like jigsaw puzzles.
It was not until his son was tired and coaxed him to sleep that he rested for a while. Then, he woke up and kneaded the flour himself. He even carefully used spinach juice to make green handmade noodles and patiently fried the heart-shaped eggs, the fragrance of the egg woke the mother and son up.
Yun Xiangxiang sat with her hands on her cheeks and looked at song Mian with happiness in her eyes for a long time. Liuliu also sat up and imitated her mother who held her cheeks and looked at song Mian.
When song Mian put the noodles into the pot, he turned around and looked at his wife and son in the same position helplessly. “Hurry up and wash up and eat.”
“Hubby, you’re So Good!”Yun Xiangxiang smiled.
“Dad, you’re Great!”Liuliu showed his little rice teeth.
Finally, she changed her mind. In the beginning, Yun Xiangxiang praised Song Mian. “Hubby, you’re Great!”.
Liuliu also said, “Hubby, you’re Great!”!
Yun Xiangxiang almost burst into laughter.
“Let’s go, smart son. Let’s go wash up.”Yun Xiangxiang picked Liuliu up and brought him into the bathroom.
The mother and son quickly settled the matter. Then, she put on a bib for Liuliu. The two of them sat at the dining table, waiting to be fed.
Song Mian had done a lot and did not intend to eat alone. He Wei, song Qian, and Ai Li All ate together. This time, Song Mian did not bring song Yao with him. He asked Song Yao to stay in the country because, firstly, Song Yao was married, and secondly, he did not lack manpower for the time being.
After getting off the plane, as expected, song ER brought people to pick up song Mian. They immediately moved into the room that song Mian had arranged for them.
After resting for a day, Yun Xiangxiang thought about going to Milles’appointment with He Wei. Song Mian did not follow her.
Milles had been preparing for this film for the past year. The name of the film had been changed from the original “Bureau”to the more straightforward “MO n EY m AD N E SS.”The translation was probably “Greedy.”.
The male lead, Nader, was born a commoner. He had accumulated some funds to make a market in the pink market. He relied on licking OTC transactions that big companies looked down on, as well as managing the small accounts of his family and friends, he had a firm foothold on Wall Street.
However, he did not want to be looked down upon. He did not want to be looked down upon by others. He did not want to bow down and eat the leftovers that were left behind by the big business tycoons for the rest of his life. He saw huge business opportunities at OTC.
To compete with the NYSE’s market makers, Nader first used electronic trading systems, which he thought would be a huge gamble and turn OTC upside down.
Then he figured out a sneaky business model, where he would lure customers with a kickback from his brokerage, and then charge traders a huge discount, he would earn even more rebates.
With these two points, he made a name for himself on Wall Street. At one point, his company became the largest market maker.
At its peak, his company managed 5 percent of the trading volume in New York City. That alone earned him 100 million dollars a year. That was in the 1980s.
Up to this point, he was still a successful and admirable legitimate businessman.
But he was not satisfied with the honor of being a “Top market maker.”At a point in his life where he could win by lying down, he was still obsessed with playing cards, even if it was cheating.
He started his fund business, and a scam was born.
His status and success in his business made it impossible to suspect that he was a fraud. From accepting money from relatives and friends, he gradually expanded to charitable funds, and finally to large investment institutions, including banks and investment funds all over the world.
Moreover, he only accepted money that came to him on his knees in an extremely arrogant manner. He rarely showed his face and maintained his mysteriousness. If he did not have any background, he probably would not have accepted it.
He said that he was using the money to make market investments, with an annualized return of 10% . In fact, he had not been trading at all since a long time ago. The so-called return was only what he dug out from the principal of another investor.
Moreover, he was very smart. If anyone wanted to know more details, ask him about the investment strategy and logic. His subordinates would certainly have the same intention to ask: What is the intention of probing into business secrets?
The rate of return he gave was the point that countless professionals had used precise calculation cards. A little less would not cut the leek, and a little more would scare the old bird away. Moreover, he maintained the rate of return for many years, ignoring the changes in the market and refusing anyone to withdraw.
With a group of people who had tasted a certain sweetness, the family had too much free money, so naturally, they would feel at ease to invest it in him to Squander.
This was a sophisticated scheme. Because the amount of funds was too large and the rate of investors’reinvestment was particularly high, it was more than enough to pay some sporadic returns or a small number of investors’withdrawals.
This performance was like shooting a three-pointer with a shooting rate of more than 90% . How could no one doubt it? For six years in a row, there had been in-depth investigations, but unfortunately, every time, it had been concealed under Nader’s operation.
This was because his subordinates included elites from all over the world, and the people who came to invest in him were from all over the world. They were practically connected to all walks of life in the entire Big Apple City. He was like a tentacle that had passed through this scam, he had reached into every economic vein of the Big Apple and grasped the city in the palm of his hand.
