Madoff greeted Yuri warmly. Although he hadn't seen him for several years, he still knew the "fat sheep" in front of him. He somehow managed to sneak in seven years ago with his Jewish connections. Palm Springs Country Club.
In the eyes of everyone, he was an upstart who helped mold sell arms all over the world all day long. However, because everyone was Jewish and he did have a lot of connections in the military-industrial complex, everyone still accepted him.
In fact, Madoff's scam was not very clever. It was a pyramid scheme. He determined the investment rules and relied on his status as the chairman of the board of directors of Nasdaq to win over the first batch of Jewish rich people from the Palm Springs Country Club. The first batch goes offline.
Then these offline people continued to attract more people and recommended them to Madoff, and more and more people fell into the trap.
However, each new member will undergo a series of rigorous tests by Madoff, and then every member must provide various resources to obtain certain points. Only by using points can they redeem more investment rights.
Although the money in Yuri's pocket cannot be compared with this group of Jewish rich people, his connections in the military-industrial complex are not guaranteed.
How could he sell arms all over the world without any connections? He became famous in the Blue Star arms industry and became a gold medal salesman in everyone's eyes.
As long as more people are recruited, the structure will be more stable. Even Chen Yi has long suspected that Madoff is just a puppet launched by the first batch of Jewish rich people.
A circle composed of Jews is very exclusive and mysterious, which has allowed him to run a pyramid scheme for so many years and it has not been dismantled to this day. Chen Yi was just suspicious at first, but later his guess was confirmed. It was indeed the early stage. The wealthy Jewish people worked together to help Madoff maintain this scam.
Even the "downlines" who were later brought in may have doubts in their hearts, but as long as Madoff can really help them maintain the rate of return of the Ponzi scheme, everyone will spontaneously become his strongest support.
"Hey Yuri, long time no see."
"Yes, Bernard, we haven't seen each other for almost four years."
The two exchanged enthusiastic greetings. At this time, the mayor of Apple City also finished his speech, and the melodious music in the banquet hall began to sound again, as if a switch was activated - everyone resumed their previous rhythm and began to shuttle through the banquet. middle.
"Madoff, who is this?"
"Oh, let me introduce to you, this is also a member of the Palm Springs Club, Yuri..."
The mayor of Apple City felt a little impressed but couldn't remember it. Yuri immediately said: "I have been developing in Chukotka in recent years."
The mayor suddenly realized that he might have met the other party at some party before, but it was normal for him to forget that the other party had not been in the United States in the past few years.
After chatting for a while, the mayor left and the two of them walked to the venue to continue chatting and laughing with others, and Yuri finally got down to business.
"Bernard, my friend, although I'm sorry, I have to allocate some funds now. The uncertainty of the real estate market in the United States has affected Chukotka. House prices there have begun to fall. My company has suffered a crisis and needs to Big money to sustain.”
Madoff looked at Yuri and not only felt unhappy, but also had many doubts.
Feeling: In recent years, you stopped selling arms and went to Siberia to play real estate? !
You are such a fucking genius when it comes to real estate speculation in Siberia.
But he still said politely: "It's okay, I understand. How much does it cost? Do you need our help?"
Unexpectedly, Yuri said hesitantly: "Well, the money I want to get may be a bit too much..."
"Tell me, how many are there?"
"Ninety-three billion dollars..."
When Madoff heard this figure, he immediately exploded, "Hell, I'm just going to say real estate is not safe...Wait a minute!"
Suddenly, Madoff felt something was wrong. How could this guy have so much share? !
The way he looked at Yuri was wrong, but due to the current situation, he could only grit his teeth with a smile on his face.
"You can't have such a large share. The investment share is only 200 million US dollars at most!"
Yuri also said with a smile on his face: "Well, I recently found some new members who joined four years ago and talked with them privately. They all agreed to sell their shares to me."
Madoff gritted his teeth and said with a smile, "What do you want to do?!"
"No, no, no, please don't get me wrong. I just want to get my money back. The subprime mortgage market will explode at some point. It's really too dangerous to put money in your Ponzi fund, so Please understand, my friend."
Madoff only felt a chill. He knew about the possible threat to his fund after the subprime mortgage crisis broke out, but he didn't expect that Yuri would ask for a large amount of funds so early, and the other party would actually acquire those new investors. The shares in his hands, and even the title directly became "Ponzi Fund"!
"How is it possible?! How is it possible that someone is willing to transfer their share to you privately?"
"Don't forget, I am a gold medal salesman in the arms industry.
Uh, don't look at me like that. This is really my first time doing this. In fact, I also hate using violence to persuade others. "
Madoff was completely shocked. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say, but Yuri looked at him and still maintained that smiling expression and was amazed. This old man's thick skin and acting skills were second to none. The stars are top notch.
For a while, Madoff made his final struggle: "If you do this, no one in the club will let you go!"
Yuri had a sarcastic smile on his face.
"club?
You mean those guys in the Palm Springs clubs who are all about money?
Okay, Madoff, as an old friend, let me give you one last piece of advice. After you send me the money, leave the United States and find a place to hide. This time, your fund connections are a bit bigger, and they are no longer just in your small circle. It's over, it's related to subprime mortgages, I'll give you a week, you can take care of yourself. "
After Yuri finished speaking, he clinked the cup with Madoff. After drinking a glass of wine, he walked toward the exit. He picked up a lobster on the table and peeled the shell as he went.
The shrimp shells on the ground made everyone else at the banquet frown and look at this uneducated man. However, Yuri ignored all the looks and walked to the door. At this time, he had finished peeling off the shrimp shells. , he threw the red shrimp meat directly into his mouth and walked out of the hotel door with two legs.
Madoff looked at Yuri's back with an ugly face. Others gathered around him to ask who it was. Even the mayor of Apple City came over with a puzzled look on his face.
Aren't you old friends?
"Madoff, he is..."
"Don't mention Yuri again. He is no longer my friend. After more than three years in Chukotka, he has been assimilated by those barbarians!"
After hearing this, many people suddenly showed expressions of disgust. No wonder this person is so unqualified. It turns out he is a barbarian from Chukotka!
The mayor of Apple City also shook his head. He knew that there must be something going on between Madoff and Yuri, but it was hard to ask.
But Madoff began to seriously consider Yuri's advice.
