nostalgic era

Chapter 198 The Shawshank Redemption
In fact, Jiang Deming overestimated his own 3000 million funds, and underestimated the bearing capacity of the ugly country's stock market.

The ugly country of the 60s coincided with the wave of the electronics industry. In the stock market, as long as the stocks related to the electronics industry will soar.

Throwing 3000 million knives in will not even have a splash, but it's not much bigger than a splash.

After returning to New York, Jiang Deming learned about the current stock market situation, and found a problem that he had neglected - he needed a trustworthy trader!

Moreover, if Ding Crab's luck can really work in the stock market, the transaction volume will inevitably increase, and the trader's skills must be excellent.

Jiang Deming didn't dare to look for people in the exchange, even if he was a member of the Corleone family, Jiang Deming didn't dare to use him. He and Mike belonged to a cooperative relationship, so the trust is really not that high.

After much deliberation, Jiang Deming still felt that he should have one by himself.

Finally, he came across an interesting job ad in the latest New York Times.

It tells the story of a private prison called Shawshank, which has reached a new high in inmates and recruited retired personnel from the society to serve as prison guards.

Those who know a little bit about foreign language films know the movie "The Shawshank Redemption", which is a more famous movie than "The Godfather".

The protagonist in the movie can be said to be a super unlucky guy, not to mention the green hat, and inexplicably charged with murder.

20 years in prison.

Jiang Deming vaguely remembers that the protagonist Andy was imprisoned in 47. In the movie, it took him 19 years to dig a tunnel. Calculating the time, he should have almost escaped from prison.

Don't look at Andy who has been locked in prison, but he hasn't let go of his abilities at all.

It can even be said that it has become sharper.

A person who stays in the prison, handles all kinds of identification documents, and can even directly empty out their warden's savings after he comes out. This is not a talent, what is it?
But a smart person like this is not easy to control. Fortunately, Jiang Deming doesn't plan to control him permanently, he just needs to use him to help him make a fortune in the stock market.

Compared with other strangers, Jiang Deming is more willing to trust Andy, which is better than finding someone completely unfamiliar, or begging Mike.

After confirming the candidate, Jiang Deming dialed Fredo's number.

As soon as the phone was connected, there was a strange noise from the other end.

Jiang Deming's face darkened. He knew that Fred had a great time, but it's still broad daylight!
No wonder the enemies of the Corleone family would later use him against Mike.

After receiving the call, this guy was restless and broadcast live broadcasts to Jiang Deming over the phone.

Jiang Deming finished talking about asking Fredo to take him to Shawshank Prison with a dark face. Fredo finally hadn't forgotten Mike's order to him, and agreed to come over within an hour.

The actual situation was that Jiang Deming didn't see Fredo in the hotel until two hours later.

The smell of fat and powder on his body can be smelled from far away.

Jiang Deming frowned. It was really unlucky for Mike to have such an older brother. Instead of helping his career, it often hindered him.

It is estimated that there is a lot of help behind his back to clean up his hands.

Before Fredo could sit down, Jiang Deming stood up and walked out.

Fredo was a little helpless, but he could only keep up. After all, this was the person Mike personally told him to entertain, and he was strictly told to greet him, otherwise the future expenses would be halved. Faced with this threat, Fredo Do not dare to neglect.

After coming out of the hotel, with Fredo showing the way and Xu Zheng driving, the three arrived at the Shawshank Prison in the suburbs together.

If it is a public prison, it is very difficult to get in.

But this private one even has specific visiting days.

Fredo didn't even disclose his identity as the Corleone family. He just paid an entrance fee and was allowed to go, accompanied by two prison guards to prevent them from being harmed by the prisoners.

Jiang Deming didn't ask to see Andy either. He knew very well that Andy is now the warden's cash cow, and it is impossible for him to meet outsiders at will.

What he proposed to meet was Andy's good friend Ellis, who came in 20 years earlier than Andy and was sentenced to life imprisonment.

It's perfect to use him to deliver news to Andy.

In order to get in touch with Andy, Jiang Deming specially brought an artifact over here. In the era when there was no surveillance, this thing was an artifact.

And because of the special place, there is no need to worry about the signal being intercepted.

After Ellis was brought out, the shrewd Fredo immediately dismissed the guard's warning.

The method is also very simple, just use money to open the way.

The wardens here are not good people, so the subordinates naturally follow suit.

So Jiang Deming successfully stuffed Ellis with something without giving any money, just some candies and cigarettes he smoked after coming to Ugly Country.

For those in prison, these are hard currencies.

Ellis was very surprised, but still collected everything calmly.

Just to help bring something, this kind of thing he has done a lot before.

After saying goodbye to Jiang Deming, Ellis swaggered towards the prison with a big bag of things.

The surrounding prison guards turned a blind eye to this. It is impossible for Ellis to operate this kind of commissary in the prison without their permission.

After successfully returning to the cell with a bunch of things, a group of inmates immediately surrounded him.

"Ellis. Got something nice again?"

"It's cigarettes and candy again, but this time the goods are a little different." Ellis said pretending to be mysterious: "The special goods from the far east, do you want to try it?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately started cheering. They came and went to smoke the same types, and occasionally changed to new flavors, which was no different from New Year's Eve.

Moreover, Shawshank Prison also has characteristics that are not found in other places. Many people here, like Andy and Ellis, were imprisoned because of false accusations.

If you're lucky, and you don't have any skills, you might leave after staying for a few years.

Those who are unlucky, like Andy who is favored by the warden, will never even think about leaving in this life.

Ellis, who is even more unlucky than Andy, is even worse. He has no relatives outside, and no one can help him find evidence to clear his charges. His only wish is to be released on parole to see the outside world. Only then did I realize that I had been out of touch for too long and couldn't adapt at all.

Not everyone is like Andy, who has been in prison for almost 20 years. Instead of falling behind, he has gone a step further.

After sending everyone away, Ellis winked at Andy.

Years of friendship have allowed them to develop a certain tacit understanding.

Andy stood up silently and walked into the toilet.

Not long after, Ellis also came in.

He didn't say much, and when he came in, he stuffed a dark square box into Andy's hand, and quickly told him how to use it. Before Andy could ask, Ellis turned his head and left.

As an old fritter, he knows that the less he knows about some things, the better.

Andy looked dazed. He was born as an orphan. With his outstanding talent, he was admitted to a good university. After graduation, he successfully became a banker and entered the middle class in no time.

If he hadn't married a restless wife, he would definitely have a good life in this life.

In the prison, Ellis can still communicate with the prison visitors from time to time, Andy?Sorry, in the past 19 years, no one has come to see him.

His communication with the outside world is limited to his colleagues outside when he helps the warden manipulate the stocks every week.

Now someone suddenly sent something to him, which made Andy somewhat confused.

After being silent for a while, he put on the earphones according to Ellis' prompt, and then unscrewed the small cap on the black box.

After a burst of noise, a strange man's voice suddenly came out of the earphones.

Andy, who had never had such an experience, was so scared that he almost dropped his things.

One kilometer away from the prison, Jiang Deming was sitting in the carriage, holding a walkie-talkie, talking to himself.

"Mr. Andy, hello, although we have never met, I believe we will become good friends in the near future."

"You don't have to say anything now, just listen to me!"

"Mr. Andy, in about two days, you will be able to use the identity of Andy Dufresne to come out of it, and then we will discuss other matters."

In the prison toilet, Andy became even more confused after hearing this. The high-tech product in his hand is really amazing, but he said that he wanted to get rid of it openly, what a joke!

Andy didn't believe a word. After curling his lips, he stuffed the walkie-talkie and earphones into his crotch.

However, what Andy didn't expect was that on the second day after he got the walkie-talkie, he saw two new guests in the prison, one was the original warden and the other was the captain of the guard.

When seeing the two of them, the whole prison exploded.

This is a private prison, not a public prison, and there is no such thing as a prisoner overthrowing the warden.

It can only be said that someone outside was trying hard, and Andy inexplicably remembered the person who talked to him yesterday.

Another day later, the prison guards took Andy out of the cell and told Andy that he had been released.

After what happened yesterday, he was not much surprised that he was released.

That is, why is this happening? ?

It took him 19 years to dig out a hole with tools, and he saw that as long as a thunderstorm came, he could take the opportunity to escape.

According to the weather forecast, there will be a thunderstorm in three or four days at most, and he will be able to escape.

Being acquitted at this time, Andy felt very depressed, not to mention how depressed he was, feeling that he had dug a loneliness in those ten years.

After walking out of the small door of the prison, Andy felt the glare of the sun, and was thinking about where to find the mysterious person who got him out, when a car stopped in front of him.

After Jiang Deming opened the car door from the inside, he made room for Andy.

"Get in the car!"

Andy recognized the voice, the one who had spoken to him earlier on the walkie-talkie.

He sat down without thinking much.

Jiang Deming smiled and stretched out his hand to Andy, saying, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Dufresne."

"Hi, hello!" There was a trace of hesitation on Andy's face, but he still reached out and shook Jiang Deming.

"Mr. Dufresne, I know you have a lot of questions now, but it's okay, we have a lot of time now, so we can talk slowly!"

Before Andy asked, Jiang Deming explained the operation process of how to get him out of the prison.

In fact, it is also very simple. Using the contacts of the Corleone family, he found an investor in Shawshank Prison, and chatted with him about the operation of the little warden inside.

These investors set up prisons to make money. How could they tolerate the people under their hands filling their own pockets?
Not killing the warden directly is already a matter of years of master-servant relationship.

Throwing him into prison may be more uncomfortable than killing him.

After the warden is settled, things will be easier afterwards.

Andy's case was full of doubts, and after so many years, Jiang Deming found the real culprit with only a small amount of money, and made him plead guilty automatically through the relationship of the Corleone family.

After that, he gave a donation to the relevant local unit, so Andy was released from the jail the second day after the warden was locked in.

After hearing all this, Andy was silent for a long time before saying, "What do you need me to do for you?"

There is no such thing as a free lunch. As a former banker, Andy understands this truth better than anyone else.

"I need you to help me complete a deal!" Jiang Deming said.

Originally, Andy thought it would be some kind of shady deal, the kind that fell into a pit and couldn't get out.

However, after he was brought to the exchange and sat on the trader's seat, Andy was confused, what was he doing?
Jiang Deming didn't give him an explanation, and pointed to Dingxie next to him and said, "Next, you will know by following his instructions. I have 2000 million funds for your use."

Andy glanced at Kong Wu's powerful Ding Xie suspiciously. At first glance, this person looks like the kind of person with strong limbs and a simple mind. Let him direct him to operate transactions?
Could it be that Mr. Jiang wants to use the 2000 million for charity?
This idea just stayed in my mind for a long time, and Andy's whole three views were subverted.

I don't know where Ding Xie heard the crooked theory, saying that stocks should be traded the other way around.

When the situation was so good, he actually chose to go short.

The selected stock is still a well-known one in the industry.

Andy thought that the 2000 million that Jiang Deming took out would be lost in a short time.

Then an extremely incredible scene appeared.

That stock really fell, and it was the kind that vented like a bet.

In less than half a day, it was already at the limit.

Andy looked at Ding Xie stupidly, as if he was looking at God.

Have you lost your sight?Is this person actually a master at pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?
In fact, Andy thought too much, Ding Xie really didn't understand at all, it was purely his inexplicable luck fermenting.

Except for Uncle Biao's family, no one can match Ding Xie's windfall fortune.
