Chapter 1588: Insider Information of MLM
Soros was frightened by Abby Cohen's words. But I never thought that what Abby Cohen said about "seeing through the origin of all matter" was referring to Lin Feng's boast that he was the 4th generation grandson of Prime Minister Bigan. Abby Cohen has always believed that Lin Feng is proficient in magical techniques such as I Ching divination and can create gods to predict the future. However, Abby Cohen had already promised Lin Feng not to tell anyone about this matter, so he replaced Lin Feng's magical divination technique with the philosophical phrase "seeing through the origin of all matter".
Unexpectedly, I was misunderstood by Soros. And this misunderstanding is naturally a good thing for Lin Feng.
"Is it related to Madoff?" Lin Feng asked.
After Soros was stunned for a moment, he nodded.
Indeed, Madoff was a key to Soros' plan.
"Boss, do you know who Madoff is?" Soros's voice was slightly hoarse, which was caused by excitement about his big plan. Soros did not expect that while his big plan was still brewing, Lin Feng could see one of its core plans. This really made Soros a bit incredible. Of course, it was more worship, infinite worship.
Boss, mighty! ——Soros thought in his heart. But I don’t know if Lin Feng, like the outside world, thinks that Madoff is a legend in the New York financial world. So, this is what Soros wants to ask.
"Madoff, I know. He just invited me to his cocktail party and said he wanted to celebrate the listing of my 'Baidu Yahoo'." Lin Feng said lightly.
After hearing this, Soros was stunned. What kind of situation is this? Madoff actually wants to celebrate Lin Feng. His boss must be too awesome. Although in the eyes of Soros, Madoff is nothing, that is, a super liar who deceives the world and steals his reputation, in the eyes of the outside world, Madoff is still a super giant in the financial world, a figure who can shock the world. But now, this person actually went to hold a celebration cocktail party for Lin Feng. This can only be said that Lin Feng's face is too big.
It should be noted that when the market value of "Microsoft" exceeded 100 million US dollars, Madoff just wrote a congratulatory letter, but now Madoff actively invites Lin Feng to help him hold a celebration cocktail party. When word spreads about this, it is quite enviable and jealous. of. At least Soros is a little secretly envious. Of course, this kind of envy only passes in a flash.
But what was Madoff trying to do by inviting his boss to a celebration party? ——After Soros regained his composure, he frowned slightly. Immediately, an idea emerged. Thinking of this, Thoros suddenly became excited. His plans came and went, but one key thing was always missing, which made Soros always feel distressed. But now, this crucial thing has been brought to the door by Madoff. This plan allows God to start laying out the plan in advance. The earlier you plan, the greater your future gains will be.
This is wonderful! ——Soros chuckled.
Of course, in order to implement this plan, Lin Feng must know who Madoff is, otherwise Soros is worried that Lin Feng will be defrauded of all his property.
"Boss, what kind of person do you think Madoff is?" Soros asked calmly.
"Madoff, a legendary figure in the American financial world. I think you know his legend better than I do." Lin Feng pondered slightly, "Especially in 2009, he launched a first-class investment project with a monthly % return rate. It has reached its peak of fame around the world.”
A flash of light flashed in Soros's eyes.
"So boss, what do you think of his investment project?" Soros asked holding his breath.
In the outside world, Madoff's investment project is regarded as a god, and they simply regard it as pie in the sky. But in the eyes of Soros, this is a naked "Ponzi ***".
The so-called Ponzi scheme is one of the oldest and most common investment scams, and is a variant of the pyramid scheme. In short, it uses the money of new investors to pay interest and short-term returns to old investors in order to create the illusion of making money and thereby defraud more investments.
Madoff's investment project is like this. With decades of experience in the futures market, Soros could see through the reality of Madoff's investment project at a glance, and knew that he was taking advantage of the trust and admiration of the outside world and using such a not-so-smart deception to make money. However, although Soros saw through Madoff's conspiracy, he did not tell anyone clearly. Because, no matter who Madoff deceived, as long as he was not deceived, it had nothing to do with him. At the same time, Soros was also very interested in seeing how Madoff planned to end the game.
After all, this kind of game cannot end once it starts. And so far, everyone's final outcome is that they can't tell their lies, and they will be blamed by everyone. Soros wanted to see how Madoff would end up and how big of a storm it would cause.
Originally Soros had the mentality of watching a show, but later Soros was planning to help Lin Feng make a layout of the century and make a huge sum of money, so he set his sights on the big liar Madoff. What's even more coincidental is that Madoff actually invited Lin Feng to hold a cocktail party for him. This was an opportunity. Therefore, Soros needs to expose the authenticity of Madoff to prevent Lin Feng from being deceived in the end, and then his plan for this century may only become a joke.
The key now lies in Lin Feng's attitude towards Madoff.
Lin Feng smiled.
"Soros, Madoff played this trick, I have experienced it when I was young." Lin Feng said with a chuckle.
young? You are very young now, aren't you? ——Soros felt weird for a while. Isn't it? Isn't it a bit strange for a 4-year-old to say something like that when he was young?
Lin Feng was slightly embarrassed. In Lin Feng's memory, those were things he experienced when he was 6 or 7 years old before his rebirth. After so many years, what else could he have experienced if he was not young? But he forgot that he was only 4 years old now, not 0 years old.
"Well, I mean I experienced it when I was 6 or 7 years old, and now I am 4 years old. Compared with the past, what else can he have if he is not young?" Lin Feng explained.
Soros shrugged. This explanation was really a bit ridiculous, but fortunately this was not the key point.
"Soros, when I was about 6 years old, a scam was very popular in the country - pyramid selling. I was also bewitched by some friends to participate in the activities of a pyramid selling organization at that time. I still remember what the pyramid selling brand was called - Sunrider. It was to buy its products, then develop downlines, and then let the downlines buy them, and you would get money from them. At that time, our Chu City, no, it should be said that the whole country was carrying out this kind of activity. Many people became rich because of this, but more people were deceived of their hard-earned savings for many years, and eventually even went bankrupt. Because this is a scam of robbing Peter to fill Paul. Using the money of later people to fill the tricks of previous people." Lin Feng sighed.
In Lin Feng's memory, wherever he went in the country, he could hear conversations about MLM. It was not about this wealth, it was about that wealth, anyway, the whole country was fanatical at that time. It seemed that everyone became a believer in MLM.
Soros searched on the computer and found a lot of information about MLM in the country at that time, which shocked him. If the government had not intervened administratively, I am afraid that the economy of the country would collapse in a few years.
Hey! Soros suddenly felt something strange. After thinking about it, Soros frowned and decided not to tell Lin Feng about this for the time being. After all, this was just his suspicion, and there was no evidence to prove everything.
"Boss, how did you get rid of this MLM organization back then?" Soros was very curious.
Lin Feng was only 6 years old at that time, which could be said to be a very ignorant age, and everyone around Lin Feng joined the MLM organization at that time, so how did Lin Feng get rid of this MLM organization. You know, the harm caused by MLM in the country at that time was quite serious. Lin Feng actually joined the organization, but in the end he successfully withdrew without suffering any harm, which made Soros quite curious.
When Lin Feng heard this, the scenes that happened at that time emerged in his mind. He shook his head and felt relieved.
"In fact, the reason why I was lucky enough not to really join this organization and engage in pyramid selling was just because of one thing - time." Lin Feng said.
Time? —— Soros was stunned.
