You know nothing about gangsters!

Chapter 226 A $500 million small business!

Zhang Xiong kept thinking about the strangeness of this matter in his mind. At this time, he couldn't tell whether Li Yi was a real criminal or someone who really had a mission.

Just when Zhang Xiong was still hesitating, Li Yi sneered, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said loudly: "Don't think about the things that are available and not available, just do your own thing and it will be enough." .How much salary do you get every month? Do you worry about that?

Now you can peacefully be the head of your nursing department. As long as you don't meddle in other people's business, I'll keep you safe. "

"You..." How could Zhang Xiong not hear the threat in Li Yi's words?

But it is too late now. In just two days, Li Yi has conquered Hongxing and the Daquan Gang. Now the two largest forces among the prisoners in Stanley Prison have been controlled by Li Yi.

Moreover, today Li Yi invited all the prisoners to eat barbecued pork and drink beer. He has shown all the prisoners that Li Yi's words will definitely work in Stanley, making all the prisoners now full of good impressions of Li Yi.

Even those members of the society who can't deal with Hong Xing and the Daquan Gang, no matter how unhappy they are, are likely to conflict with him when faced with the blessing of sugar-coated bullets like Li Yi.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiong felt a sense of bitterness in his heart. The culprit for the current result and for Li Yi to have such prestige in Stanley was himself.

If he hadn't responded to Li Yi's request at the beginning, all the prisoners would not have thought that Li Yi really had a great background, and even he, the head of the custodial care department, would have to listen to Li Yi.

Once this concept is formed, it is not easy to change it.

"No, you, you, you. Things have reached this point. The only thing you can do now is to trust me and cooperate with my work.

I am the most loyal person and will never let my brothers suffer. Otherwise, I would have sent Zhang Ziqiang and the others to Stanley. Why would they still respect me so much?

Because they know that I will never let my brothers suffer, and I can bring them a steady stream of benefits. This is why they respect me so much. "

Li Yi talked eloquently, which made Zhang Xiong feel strange.

"Li Yi, no, Brother Yi, I will have to trouble you to take care of him from now on." Zhang Xiong is also a very decisive person.

He found that since he couldn't resist now, he had to surrender continuously. With Li Yi's current prestige, if he wanted to do something about himself, he could start a prison rebellion in a minute. It's over.

If Li Yi were more ruthless and asked prisoners to report him to the Department of Corrections, he would probably have to go to jail, not to mention his position as section chief.

Think about how you treated prisoners before. Once you go to prison, your end will be extremely miserable.

Therefore, Zhang Xiong can't care about anything else now. He can only obey Li Yi's mercy. If Li Yi is really performing a secret mission, that would be the best. By then, he might be able to make some contributions and do more. further.

Even if Li Yi is really a criminal now, with Li Yi's current prestige in Stanley, it will be much easier for Li Yi to help him manage the prisoners. As long as the prisoners are honest and don't make trouble, the world will be peaceful.

"Look, wouldn't it be great if you were so informed earlier? Don't worry, I said I would never treat my brothers badly.

By the way, after you get off work today, go to CID Senior Inspector Cao Dahua and tell him that I asked you to go. He will give you the money you paid for barbecued pork and beer today.

From now on, whenever money is needed, you should go to Cao Dahua. This is also your brother and you can definitely trust him.

Oh, by the way, get me a phone when the time comes so I can contact my brothers outside. "

Now that Li Yi is in Stanley, it is inconvenient to contact the outside world, so he needs someone who can help him convey the message, and Cao Dahua is undoubtedly a good candidate.

Although Cao Dahua is sometimes not very reliable in what he does, he is at least very obedient, and after working together for so long, there is still a certain foundation of trust between the two.

"What? Get you a phone? This is absolutely not possible. If this is discovered, I will definitely die!"

As soon as Li Yi asked for a phone call, Zhang Xiong shook his head quickly. He would never dare to do this.Normally, prison guards occasionally bring some things to prisoners, such as cigarettes, alcohol, etc., but the superiors will not interfere and will just turn a blind eye. This is not a big deal, but sometimes they will make some money from it. benefit.

But the nature of the phone matter is serious. You must know that the prisoners in the prison are all criminals, and there are even some big bosses of the society. What if these people get the phone and remotely control the outside world through the phone?It's not like this has never happened before.

Therefore, Zhang Xiong paused and said again in a hurried tone: "Brother Yi, it's not that I won't help you with this matter, it's that I really don't dare. If the superiors find out, I might just be punished, but If ICAC finds out, I'll be in big trouble, and I might even be arrested!

If you really have any tasks and need to communicate with the outside world, I can also do it for you. I really don't dare to help you get a phone in private, so please let me go, Brother Yi. "

The deterrent power of ICAC is still very great for Zhang Xiong. Once ICAC targets such serious violations of regulations, it will definitely catch them.

And based on ICAC's handling of cases, even if the higher-ups wanted to bail him out, it might be difficult.Zhang Xiong was trying to please Li Yi just for the sake of promotion, but now there is no mention of the promotion, and he might even get admitted because of it, so Zhang Xiong would definitely not be happy about it.

"Hey, since you said so, I won't force myself anymore, and I will tell you the truth. In fact, the reason why I asked you to get me a phone is not because of the mission, but because I am here. There’s actually a big business out there.”

Li Yi looked at Zhang Xiong with pity and said: "I did this business privately with my brothers. After all, you know that I used to be an undercover agent. People like us have our heads stuck in our belts all day long. People walk on the edge of life and death every day.

The salary he received was just that little, which was not enough to support his family. If he unfortunately died one day, the pension provided by the police force would be useless.

So, why don't you think of ways to make some extra money? As you know, the superiors will turn a blind eye to undercover agents and engage in some side jobs. As long as it is not illegal or criminal, they will not be held accountable afterwards.

So at that time, I started a side business with a few brothers. Oh, the Inspector Cao Dahua you asked you to find just now is also involved in it. Life is not easy. Am I not allowed to communicate with the outside world?

Hey, but since you said so, I won't embarrass you. It's not easy for brothers and we all understand. "

"Side job? Brother Yi, can't you tell me what you do?" Hearing that Li Yi actually had other side jobs outside, he immediately became energetic.

Although the salary of the police on Hong Kong Island is high, compared with the prices and housing prices on Hong Kong Island, the salary of the police is simply not enough.

Although Zhang Xiong is now the chief of the Nursing Department, his salary is not low, and his life is completely fine, but for the high housing prices in Hong Kong Island, it is not enough.

Therefore, when he heard that Li Yi had a way to make money, Zhang Xiong immediately became interested. If possible, he would not mind making a small fortune with Li Yi.

"Oh, that's not impossible to say. I have set up an investment company outside and am currently crowdfunding to invest in a factory in the north.

You also know that the salaries of public servants are relatively low. It is unrealistic for one person to invest in building a factory, but you should understand the principle that when everyone adds fuel, the flames will rise.

Now the factory is in the preparatory stage, but I am now in prison. Many things outside cannot be advanced, and the losses will be huge. "Li Yi sighed, looking very distressed.

"If you put it that way, it's really a big loss."

Zhang Xiong nodded in agreement, and then asked casually out of curiosity: "I wonder how much investment you have in building this factory? If the investment is not large, you can let others take over."

"It's not much. The initial investment is only 500 million US dollars. In the later stage, it will be almost 500 million US dollars."

"How much? Five million U.S. dollars?" Zhang Xiong suddenly opened his mouth wide, and even his voice changed.

Chapter 227 I am stupid, but not stupid!

Five million US dollars, how much of an investment is this?If converted into Hong Kong paper, it would be almost 500 million Hong Kong paper. Such a large amount of money is only an initial investment, and an additional US$1 million will be needed later.

Even the richest people in Hong Kong would have to think carefully about such a large investment, but when it came out of Li Yi's mouth, it was so calm and indifferent, as if he was not talking about 500 million, but 500 yuan.

Besides, Li Yi is just a small undercover agent. Where did he get so much money?unless……

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiong's eyes widened, he looked at Li Yi in horror, and said in a trembling voice: "You...you are not really a gangster, are you? 500 million US dollars, you don't get this money from Honghui Bank robbed it, right?”

Zhang Xiong couldn't help but directly express his inner thoughts, and now this was the only explanation.

If Li Yi is really a gangster, he and Zhang Ziqiang successfully robbed the Hong Kong Bank's vault. Although Zhang Ziqiang and other criminal gangs were later arrested and the stolen goods were recovered, the strange thing is that , there are actually many stolen items that are unclaimed, and they are still lying in the evidence room of the police station.

If the real owner of the 500 million U.S. dollars did not register with the police for some reason, it is not impossible for Li Yi to keep the money with ease.

Now that Li Yi is imprisoned in Stanley Prison again, this has to make people think. Maybe ICAC really found something at that time, but because there was no evidence, they just found a random crime and imprisoned Li Yi. .

Zhang Xiong has already conceived a whole script in his mind about Li Yi going undercover, committing crimes, and finally being brought to justice.

Seeing Zhang Xiong's expression of seeing a ghost, Li Yi rolled his eyes angrily, "Use your pig brain and think about it carefully. If these 500 million are really my greedy black money, do you think I will continue?" Want to be a policeman? I have already gone abroad to enjoy life.

I have already said that this money is from crowdfunding. Do you know what crowdfunding is?You won’t understand it at first glance. This is my latest investment strategy. I dare say that in the future, crowdfunding will definitely become the new darling in the financial field. "

Li Yi's words confused Zhang Xiong. He was just a prison guard. He didn't know anything about finance or crowdfunding. He was just listening to the bible, okay?But when Li Yi said this, he felt very powerful.

"Brother Yi, what on earth is this crowdfunding thing? How could you raise 500 million US dollars so easily?"

"Hey, it's actually not complicated. The so-called crowdfunding means that I have a good product, and because I don't have enough personal funds, I find customers who are interested in this product in advance and let them put their money in advance. Leave it to me, and then I will take the money to open a factory to produce this product.

In this way, my factory is opened, and those customers who want to buy my products also get what they want. This is a win-win situation, and no one loses. "

Li Yi briefly explained the so-called crowdfunding to Zhang Xiong, but after Zhang Xiong finished listening, he looked at Li Yi as if he were a fool.

"Brother Yi, are you kidding me? How can there be such a stupid customer in the world who gives you money before seeing the product? If your factory can't be opened, then the customer will lose both man and money. ?

Also, even if you really open a factory, it will cost you to open a factory, right?Do you need to be paid if you hire someone to produce?

These all cost money. Even if you spread the cost equally to each customer, the price will be sky-high, right?With such a simple truth, I'm afraid only fools will be fooled. "

Zhang Xiong now feels that Li Yi is deceiving him as a fool. There is no such business in this world. You have nothing and you just want to take money out of other people's pockets by talking nonsense. This is already a If you commit fraud, you will be sentenced to jail.

Now Zhang Xiong felt that Li Yi was not unjust at all when he was imprisoned in Stanley. Even if this guy was not greedy for stolen goods, based on what he just said, sentencing him ten times would be lenient.

"Superficial, so superficial. No wonder you can only be a small prison guard now. With your IQ, you can only be a small prison guard in your whole life, and you will never make a fortune." Li Yi shook his head and sighed.

"Brother Yi, you just say what you say. Why did you escalate it to a personal attack? Your business is already a scam. Who would be so stupid as to fall for you?" Zhang Xiong was shocked by Li Yi's disdainful eyes. He was so angry. If he really couldn't beat Li Yi, he would really want to go up and beat Li Yi now.

No normal person would fall for such a simple deception of yours, so why don’t you let others talk about it? It’s simply unreasonable!

"Oh, it's terrible to be uneducated. You should read more when you have time." Li Yi took out a cigarette, lit it for himself, and said slowly.

“According to normal business logic, the situation you mentioned will indeed occur, but let’s first analyze the process of purchasing goods.

First of all, how many procedures does a product need to go through from production to sale to consumers?

The goods produced by the factory must first be delivered to the agents, and then the agents sell them to dealers, the dealers sell them to wholesalers, and then the wholesalers sell them to stores, and finally the stores sell them to customers.

Do the math for yourself, how many masters have gone through here?Are these middlemen all philanthropists who don’t have to make money?Don’t these costs have to be borne by the customer in the end?And after so many tricks, do businesses still have to pay taxes on the profits generated in the process?Every time you make a transaction, you have to pay a tax!

Now you know why prices in Hong Kong Island are so expensive?It’s not because there are too many people passing through.

But my crowdfunding is different. When you buy my products, it is equivalent to the factory you invested in first, and then the products produced by my factory are delivered directly to you, which also adds a little more transportation. There are fees and workers' wages, but the price is definitely cheaper than what you buy in the mall.

And that's not all, everyone knows that the more a product is produced, the lower the production cost will be. "

Having said this, Li Yi paused, with an enigmatic smile on his face, "If I told you that if you buy products from me, you not only don't have to pay, but you can also make money, would you think this is... In Arabian Nights?”

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How is it possible in the world that you don't have to pay for something and still make money? This is absolutely impossible!"

Now Zhang Xiong thinks that Li Yi is crazy. There is no reason to make money by buying things.

"Haha, I knew you wouldn't believe it. I won't tell you anything too advanced. To put it simply, I own a factory and I also have 10 regular customers.

So if my company goes public, it will definitely be regarded as the best asset by major investment banks, because they don't have to worry about the products I produce not being sold.

At this time, will my company's stock price skyrocket?And the more customers buy my products, the more my stock rises.

As for the customers who crowdfunded my products, according to the agreement, they are all shareholders of my company. When the stock price reaches their inner expectations, and then sell the stock, does that mean they make money?

Now you understand why I say that not only does it cost nothing to buy my stuff, but you also make money, right? "

After listening to Li Yi's narration, Zhang Xiong was dumbfounded. Can such money be made in this world?

"Gudong~"

Zhang Xiong swallowed and said that he might not know anything else, but when it came to stocks, he was very familiar with it.

In Hong Kong Island, there are very few people who do not trade in stocks, so Zhang Xiong understands the characteristics of Hong Kong Island investors very well.

If everything goes according to what Li Yi said, 10 people crowdfund to build a factory, and then put the factory on the market, then the company will only need to release news that it has 10 regular customers. This will be in the eyes of major investment banks , it’s a real treat.

At that time, major investment banks will definitely buy this stock like crazy, and once the stock rises, given the character of Hong Kong Island investors, they will definitely buy like crazy, and the stock price will naturally go up to a higher level.

When the customers who participated in the crowdfunding in the early stage sold their stocks, they would naturally buy things again and make money. It was a stroke of genius.

After thinking about this, Zhang Xiong asked tentatively: "Yi...Brother Yi, I wonder if your crowdfunding investment is still short of funds? Can you bring a brother?"

Chapter 228: Eat red wine and steak every day, and sleep drunkenly on Bolan Street every night!

"Bring you one?"

Li Yi was very surprised. He glanced at Zhang Xiong, shook his head decisively and said, "This won't work. You are the section chief of the supervised release department, and I am a prisoner now. If the superiors find out, they will think that I am Is this a disguised bribe to you, you said, should I let you withdraw your shares when the time comes? Or should I not let you withdraw my shares?"

"Haha, Brother Yi, look at what you said. We are all brothers. If there is a good thing, we brothers will make money together. As for whether to withdraw the shares or not, Brother Yi, what did you say?"

Zhang Xiong was completely moved at this moment: "We are all brothers. If the boss really knows about it then, then it will be known. At worst, I will resign directly.

Brother, can I really argue with you to withdraw your shares?

If that's the case, then I, Zhang Xiong, have really failed as a human being. Well, as long as Brother Yi nods and agrees to bring my brothers to make a fortune together, I will definitely use all my savings to support my brothers. "

What Zhang Xiong said is sincere. The more I think about it, the more I feel that Li Yi’s crowdfunding plan is feasible and can be easily successful. When the time comes, he will have money and become a millionaire, and he will still be a ghost. Prison guard Lao Shizi, if the superiors know about it, he will quit his job at worst!

But Li Yi still shook his head very decisively: "No, no, this is definitely not possible. You see, I am still in Stanley and cannot contact the outside. It is really difficult to push forward.

And Section Chief Zhang, you are doing a good job as a police officer now, so you should not bother with these things. Isn't it also good to be a prison guard? You can ensure the harvest during droughts and floods, and you can also receive some benefits from the prisoners' families from time to time, so don't think about getting rich. "

Li Yi's refusal was so resolute that he not only shook his head like a rattle, but also waved his hands, decisively expressing his refusal.

This immediately made Zhang Xiong extremely anxious. He really didn't want to miss this opportunity to make a fortune. If he really missed it, he would regret it to death.

Besides, who is Li Yi?He was a rising star in the police force who had made great achievements. How could he lie to himself?Unless he never wants to go out for the rest of his life, Li Yi will never dare to deceive himself.

So Zhang Xiong is now more and more determined. Li Yi rejected him because he didn't want to make him rich. Zhang Xiong was naturally very anxious.

Therefore, at this time, Zhang Xiong simply got worried and said: "Brother Yi, we are brothers, can you just watch your brother suffer?

Let's do this. Our family doesn't speak the same language. Brother Yi, don't you want to do business with the outside world now?I'll get you a phone, and then if you need anything, just tell me, brother, I won't say anything.

I was rude about this matter before because I was worried too much and did not take care of our brotherhood. So, just wait a minute and I will bring you a mobile phone tomorrow.

As for my money, you must keep it as a brother. Brother Yi, you can't just let me watch you eat meat. I can't even take a sip of soup, right? "
