Blackstone Code Chapter 161: Concept and new life
"Another tightrope walker!" Hart couldn't help but sigh.
Only Joe Grimman knows what Hart means. In the past two years, the concept of "concept" has become more and more popular, and Bupen's group of investors also like this kind of thing.
Maybe 99 out of 100 "concepts" can never be realized, but as long as one can be realized, it is enough to make some people crazy to invest in these things that only have concepts. For example, it once became a financial The myth of the "Sky Brigade".
Someone took out a bunch of design drafts and claimed to have solved some mechanical problems and made a prototype that can realize people's dreams of flying in the air.
Flying in the air, this may be the most impulsive thought of a human standing on the ground every time he looks up and sees birds flying in the sky, flying freely in the blue sky like those birds, it must be a A very pleasant thing.
Now, people have actually heard that there is a chance to fly in the sky. With the design draft of the original model and a vague "documentary", the company soon raised hundreds of millions of funds in the society, until The promoter turned himself in, and people were reluctant to believe it was a scam.
They believe that this is a persecution from chaebols and capitalists. They want to take advantage of the opportunity to fly, so they made this ending.
But the real result is that this is indeed a scam. The so-called prototype and the video are actually fakes, but their fake level is higher than others, and they have captured people's yearning for flying. , and soon gained a lot of money.
It's just that the money is too much. Sometimes it's not a good thing to have a certain amount of money. At first, the initiator only wanted to cheat a few million, and then he would gradually declare to the public that his experiment had finally failed, and he spent With all the investors' money, they can only declare bankruptcy in shame.
But in fact he will move the money away, and after he goes bankrupt for a while, he can live happily in incognito.
However, these designs of his are too in line with the impetuous people's pursuit of "freedom" in a rapidly expanding society, so capital has been added to it, and many ordinary people have also invested in this project.
If his previous thoughts are stabbed, he may be imprisoned for a few years, or even without jail time, a few million dollars can be perfunctory for a few large crash scenes, and the successive failures will not continue. put money.
But the hundreds of millions of funds are different. When he calmed down from the sudden increase in the amount, he realized that he had made a big disaster, which may put him in prison for a lifetime, even after his death. Coffins are buried under the prison.
So he turned himself in, the destruction of a myth broke a legend, and thus opened up a "conceptual era" like a fraud.
As long as there is a concept, it can attract speculators and large funds. People are addicted to this almost gambling-like game and cannot extricate themselves. This is also the most distressing helplessness of those old-school businessmen.
They have worked hard for many years. The latter has been in business for a lifetime. It is not as good as other people's gimmicks, but this is also a reality.
Hart believes that Lynch is such a person who plays with "concepts". He is playing with fire and setting himself on fire, but at the same time, he is envious of the other party's wealth. He may not do anything, just move his mouth and get a large sum of money. invest.
Look at him again. After so many years of hard work, an economic recession has directly wiped out his achievements for so many years, and has been pushed to the ground by reality.
Joe Grimman shook his head and did not continue to explain. He knew that no matter what he said now, Hart would not change his mind. It is better to wait until he calms down.
In fact, Hart is also a person who is very good at seizing opportunities. After he learned about the low-cost apartment policy, he immediately began to prepare for this project. If nothing else, after the project is over, he will be able to make millions or even more at one time. Ten million.
The rent of the tenants is enough to cover the daily expenses of the entire apartment, and the government's monthly subsidy is not a small amount. If the time span of this economic recession is long enough, the government subsidy alone can make Hart and the others go back Book.
Next, when they sell these apartments, it is pure profit. What's more profitable is that they can hide some other industries under this company to achieve the same tax exemption. In the eyes of others, Hart is also a A person who is good at seizing opportunities.
But Lynch is different from him. Lynch is good at creating opportunities, so for Lynch, the opportunities in his hands are first-hand things. The opportunities he creates are essentially for himself. Also fits better.
It's like why the ladies and gentlemen of the upper class always only find tailors who the average person has never heard of, and big-name designers to make their clothes for themselves, because the one-size-fits-all in stores Always one size fits all but definitely doesn't fit.
It can't fit everyone's body in the best way, it just takes care of most people of the same size as much as possible, in the eyes of the upper class, those who wear non-handmade luxury brand clothes , and the roadside wearing five dollars a piece of clothing is no different.
The best effect can be created by being close to the body and fitting. This is the reason why Lynch can make an inconspicuous little thing bigger, but Hart can't. He just picked up the opportunity that others leaked, and then If he changes himself to fit this opportunity, he will not be able to maximize his benefits.
Ignoring this matter, Lynch, who was sitting in the car, had already begun to think about another auction meeting on Friday. Alright venue, and some corresponding cargo has passed Kukla.
This business was initiated by the mayor of Sabine City, and was affirmed by the governor. The "policy" implemented throughout the state will not interfere with ordinary people, because it will offend many people, and they will only cooperate.
This is also the reason why the speed of the Curryland City auction has become faster. The venue lease that could not be negotiated was quickly and completely resolved. They uniformly used the Curryland City Gymnasium, and this incident It was done by Richard himself.
He privately told Lynch that venues in other cities are planning to rent gymnasiums. On the one hand, it is to give people a "unified" impression, which will raise the standard of the auction meeting to a higher level, and secondly, the gymnasium will be more fit some.
Lynch was a bit busy these days. He gave Richard all these things to do. He didn't ask about the process, just the result.
After calculating the time, there are still a few days left, and at this time, the school season in September is approaching, and he happened to follow Katherine to Curryland City to help her settle down there.
The next day, which is the second day, after making a decision, Lynch changed the schedule a little and called Katherine. When the voice of a girl who was slightly panting came from the microphone, Lynch couldn't help laughing. up.
He knew why. Catherine's house was about 40 to 50 meters away from the phone booth, and she must be running very fast.
Hearing Lynch's laughter, the girl immediately guessed who was on the other side of the phone. She casually asked Lynch's purpose for calling her, and then agreed to Lynch's arrangement.
In fact, even if Lynch didn't think of these things, she planned to go to Curriland for a while. Her college career couldn't have been hidden in the school all the time, and she would definitely have to get in touch with that building. Cities, by the way, learn where to go and where not to go.
Every city in the Baylor Federation has an area full of violence and crime that normal people would stay away from.
I didn't expect Lynch to think of this. The girl was really happy. After the appointment was made, she hurried home and started packing.
Her mother was a little surprised, standing outside Katherine's bedroom with a forearm-sized carrot in her hand, watching her busy in the room, and couldn't help asking, "Where are you going?"
Carrots are one of the three most common foods in ordinary households. The other two are potatoes and cheap chicken. However, because the chicken is all sliced, there will be some bone residue mixed with it, and the price is slightly higher. As for vegetables, not everyone likes them.
"Go to Curryland, school is about to start, I have to get used to it, I'm a little nervous...", she stopped what she was doing and turned to look at the old woman by the door, "I haven't been there for two years. In the atmosphere of learning at school ~IndoMTL.com~ I was worried that I couldn't keep up, you know, I've forgotten some aspects of learning."
Two years are enough time for an excellent student to forget a lot of knowledge that is not profound. Coupled with a boring and exhausting life, her worries are justified.
The old woman doesn't care about this. Since her husband, Catherine's father, has a new job, she feels that the couple has gradually lost the management power of Catherine.
"Do you want your brother to take you there?", the old woman asked again.
Katherine hurriedly shook her head and started to pack up and salute again, "Don't bother anyone, Lynch will pick me up!"
The "brother" in the old woman's mouth is actually Catherine's cousin, the most promising one in the whole family - he inherited the small farm left to him by his parents, which is the most valuable in this big family. The person who can get it.
Compared to Lynch though, the old woman shut her mouth knowingly and went back to the kitchen, she had to get the food done, her husband must be starving when he came back at night, those capitalists are **** Not a nice guy, oh, that's not to say Lynch.
Regardless of whether the old woman had any regrets in her heart, or whether Lynch left and came back into Katherine's life, everything here is nothing like yesterday, the day before, and every day before. Variety.
The girl was doing her own thing, the old woman was humming a somewhat old-fashioned tune, and the bubbling little steel pot exuded a simple but alluring fragrance.
An ordinary day!
