Chapter 22 Original Sin Series
Through the narration of his own investment director, Payton has a clearer understanding of his current investment situation.

Nowadays, Coca-Cola, General Electric and other century-old famous companies in Peyton's memory are not developing fast, and their stocks are not active, but they only maintain a steady growth.

On the contrary, the foreign trade company he invested in has developed rapidly in the past two years, with an average annual growth rate of 40%, almost doubling in two years. It can be seen that the Japanese economy has recovered rapidly and is about to take off.

At the same time, under the premise of economic recovery, real estate purchases in Japan have also increased to a certain extent, and Payton has also made a small profit from his investment in these years.

"Okay, I get it, everything remains the same!"

"Next year, I will have a sum of money to continue betting on Japan's real estate industry."

The next fund will naturally come from manuscript fees from other regions. As his reputation grows, I believe that more regions will contact him in the future.

After a while, Payton put down the phone and continued to start his creative career.

The next few books can be regarded as Peyton's ambitious work-the original sin series.

The entire series is divided into six books in Peyton's plan, and it is planned to be written in six years.

Peyton wants this series to become his true label, just like the Sherlock Holmes series.

The protagonists of this series are not positive characters, each one is a legendary criminal full of charm and shining points.

Legendary criminal!

Absolute legend!
big occasion!
In Peyton's opinion, the current novels are too stingy, and the characters in them are not generous enough.

Whether it is a novel involving the military or politics, it is written in very small scenes. In political novels, the mayor is already a big man, and it is incomparable with the president and prime minister who are often the president and prime minister in later generations.

There are not many legendary crimes. The detective in "Death Note" is already the most arrogant criminal in the eyes of book fans.

Peyton doesn't bother to write some violent petty criminals who kill and set fire. Only the existence of real legends can attract the audience's attention.

The outline of the book, Peyton, has been repeatedly polished, collected countless materials, consulted countless experts, and determined the rationality and handwriting after the dry goods.

"The first book in the original sin series, Money Empire!"

"The history of the legendary banker and crocodile's rise and whitewashing!"

"In this world, some people sell drugs, some rob, and some do business. Since they are all for making money, why don't we print money ourselves?"

"The technology of printing money is high? It doesn't matter, let's start with checks, which are much easier to forge!"

"Since it came to the world, every pore of capital is dirty and bloody, and it will expand outward at any time. If this is the case, then I will control capital. At least I can let the children in the orphanage live in peace. "

"Even if I'm a capitalist, it doesn't prevent me from being a philanthropic capitalist!"

Duke, the protagonist of the first book, is a criminal full of tragic characters.

He is an orphan, born in an orphanage, a painter, very caring, even if he only has ten dollars in his pocket, he will give five dollars to the children in the orphanage.

No one likes a villainous protagonist, even if he is a psychopath, he should have a quiet and gentle face.

It would be nice to add some element of pathos.

Under Peyton's setting, the orphanage is about to be demolished under the design of the real estate developer. The protagonist urgently needs money to house these children, so he goes astray.

Soon, Duke, because of his identity as a painter, stepped into a criminal team, seized the bank's loopholes, began to forge checks, and then printed banknotes.

Some of the main lines, Payton borrowed from "Cat and Mouse Game" and "Wu Shuang".

Peyton's novel is a bit of a web-style routine of later generations, and it is upgraded step by step.

From the first check to the last money empire, the pace is fast and the scenes are big.

The protagonist gradually develops from a fringe figure of a criminal gang to become the core and leader of the team, controlling the entire money printing process, and then continues to develop.

Leading the team to expand its power and update technology, from the initial counterfeit checks to the banknotes of various countries and regions.

Specially organized intelligence agencies, bought relevant printing personnel, obtained more bank inside information, unique numbers, and even made banknotes circulate within banks in certain regions.

From obtaining technology and materials, to printing, selling, and banknote circulation, the entire process has been completely opened up.

Gathered a large number of relevant interest groups ranging from high-level bank executives, investigators and experts from the Bureau of Investigation, government officials, and even street vendors.

The opponents ranged from the regional police at the beginning, to the National Bureau of Economic Investigation, and even the International Bureau of Investigation...

In the end, it is a complete cleansing. The protagonist stands completely on the stage from the shadows and becomes a famous banker, entrepreneur, and philanthropist in the eyes of everyone——Mr. Duke.

Duke's criminal gangs are constantly upgrading, participating in the printing of banknotes from different countries and regions, developing their own money laundering industry, gradually forming their own international bank, and officially obtaining the right to print banknotes.

In the later stage, it can even control the flow of banknotes in certain countries and regions, and control the changes in national politics.

Duke's team has become the world's largest underground counterfeit banknote group, money laundering group, and legally possesses a series of armed forces.

At the end of the story, Peyton did not follow the traditional justice will eventually defeat darkness.

Just like what he wrote - "The Whitewashing History of the Legendary Banker!"

Peyton hoped that everyone would think that there really was a Mr. Duke in reality, and he made his fortune step by step in this way.

Among them, regarding the manufacture of checks and banknotes... Peyton has repeatedly consulted countless experts.

At least the technologies written in the book are true and can be traced back to history.

As for some later methods, although they have surpassed this era, they are still feasible at the theoretical level of technology.

After a while, Peyton continued to revise some details in the book, and Peyton put down the pen in his hand.

……

"Boss, this book will definitely surprise everyone!" Ivoni said with a look of amazement as he looked at the manuscript in his hand.

As a professional, Ivoni is sensitive enough to the market's sense of smell.

After watching "Original Sin: Empire of Money", he quickly realized that this is not just a pure reasoning work.

Taking crime as the main line, the federal police are only supporting roles, and reasoning only takes up a small part, which involves too many elements, and the end of the final story is also "cleaning up" instead of evil.

"Boss, we must change the way of publicity for this novel, positioning it as a true crime novel, not a mystery novel."

Peyton nodded, and the promotional positioning must be clear, otherwise there may be an effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.

For example, "The Poet's Secret" focused on the reasoning stories of epic themes in the early stage, and grasped the independence of women in the later stage.

Random House directly changed the promotional positioning to - "Women should pursue the love they really want and not be restricted by the world!"

In the increasingly fierce feminist movement, this novel undoubtedly followed the trend. In addition, Random House secretly spent a lot of money to invite many well-known federal feminist representatives to promote it on the platform, and it suddenly became last year's best seller. Explosive.

"You discuss it with the people from Random House and give me a clear plan!"

Ivoni nodded: "Okay, boss!"

Peyton thought for a while and said, "I have another idea!"

"Speak!" Ivoni quickly assumed a respectful attitude, listening carefully like a student listening to a lecture.

Ivoni's ability is not very strong, and his interpersonal relationship is not too extensive. Naturally, there is a big gap with those famous brokers in the federation.

After Payton became famous, many big agents came to contact him, but Payton still chose him.

This is not because of pure nostalgia, but also because this person knows how to advance and retreat, and his attitude is very correct.

For Peyton, ability is secondary, as long as he is obedient and not stupid, such a person can use it more smoothly.

After all, Random House will take care of many things, and there are not many things that the agent needs to deal with.

"Next, you go to contact some of the banks in the Federation to see if they are willing to become the protagonists in my book."

"If the promotion of this book is changed to that this novel is adapted from real cases, it may be more attractive."

When Ivoni heard this, he couldn't help but looked at his boss in doubt, not understanding what Peyton meant.

"Boss, a protagonist who started from crime, even if these bankers did start their fortune like this, they would cover it up crazily. How could they be willing to be the protagonist in the book?"

Peyton smiled slightly: "That's not necessarily the case. There are thousands of banks in the Federation, and only a dozen or so are really famous. These ten or so banks value their credibility, but some other banks may need my share. Fame."

"What's more, the protagonist of my book is not a complete villain. Even if he is a villain, he is also a villain full of personal charm."

"Besides, it's not impossible to talk about it. As long as the negotiation is successful, we can announce to the public that the criminal experience is not entirely from the boss of the bank, but the charity and the protagonist's early experience belong to the boss of the bank. There is one more philanthropist These gentlemen should not refuse."

Saying that, Peyton shook his head again: "Forget it, forget it, I won't contact you anymore, it's too deliberate."

"Add a sentence when promoting it next-adapted from a real story, if asked by the outside world, you will say that privacy is protected and should not be leaked."

"If some banks have needs, I will come to them."

Ivone nodded when he heard the words. After the boss's explanation, he finally understood his boss's thoughts. This is to add the charm of the novel with the help of reality.

At the same time, it may be a good idea to attract a bank sponsor, but it may not be so easy to operate.

Of course, everything depends on the situation. If the sales are good, there will be no problem.
