The Salted Fish Invading the Entertainment Circle

Chapter 169 Which ignorant guy did the shit?

A week after the release of "The Second Depression", the current box office is only 1700 million US dollars, ranking only 8th in the North American box office. It seems that I am completely sorry for the high publicity costs of the giant LED in the Empire Plaza;
But holding the statistical data in his hand, Yang Zhu was not at all discouraged, and said to Lin Tu who had just come back from the outside: "Is your father's operation going smoothly?"

Prince Lin picked up the mineral water on the table and took a sip: "Well, the first wave of CDS has already been bought, and as expected, although the book amount is huge, the banks did not hesitate to buy it." signed an agreement with us."

"When a private bank was talking to our client, he actually asked with a smile, was it because your boss watched the recent movie that he suddenly had the idea to make a lot of money?"

Yang Zhu became interested: "Oh? What did you say later?"

Lin Tu laughed and said, "Our client joked with him and said yes;"

"Then the business manager of that bank laughed and didn't say anything, but we looked like fools."

Yang Zhu chuckled: "Whether you're stupid or not, we'll see in two months."

Lin Tu looked at Yang Zhu who was still researching the statistics of the movie, and couldn't help asking: "How is the number of moviegoers in the community movie theater growing?"

Yang Zhu looked at him with some relief. After these few months of hard work, this guy was finally able to grasp the key points of the matter: "It's pretty good. Other types of theaters have a certain level of decline, but community theaters have It has grown against the trend, and the number of viewers yesterday has exceeded the 3 mark, an increase of more than 10%."

The so-called community movie theaters refer to movie theaters that are specially set up next to low-income communities dominated by low-income groups such as whites, Latinos, Asians (some), and Africans. Most of these theaters are small in scale, and the environment and equipment are absolutely not will make people feel very satisfied;

Since the moviegoing groups radiated by these theaters are generally not of high quality and are extremely scattered, when general movies are released, they will not be the key target, and even the publicity will intentionally or unintentionally ignore this group;

But different from ordinary movies, Yang Zhu and his group’s most important moviegoers this time are these grassroots groups. Therefore, they not only spent a lot of energy, but almost all the community theaters have public relations, and let them release this movie;

Even after painting on the movie, a series of marketing activities with Chinese flavors were launched, such as "free popcorn for watching movies", "5 free movies for 1 watching", "TV lottery with tickets" and so on;

You must know that in the United States, movie ticket prices are not high, and the biggest expenditure for watching movies is the popcorn. reaction;

But for these groups at the moment, it is a different matter. Constrained by their daily life, watching a movie with a single consumption of more than 12 US dollars (ticket price + snacks) is considered a relatively luxurious behavior for them. Whenever there is a new movie, they will always ponder in their hearts whether it is worth watching; in this state of mind, unless it is a well-known movie or a movie with a special price, otherwise their motivation to watch movies is generally weak;
But it’s different now. The most expensive popcorn is paid for by the distributor. The box office of 2.9 US dollars plus the fat juice, the total does not exceed 6 US dollars. For them, it is completely affordable, and it can also be smoked. The TV is still a 29-inch TV made in Huaxia, and it is said that it still has a 1/500 winning rate. How could it not be flocking to it?
It's just that when these people took advantage, they couldn't help laughing from the bottom of their hearts: This Chinese director is really a fool.

Eldest Prince Lin on the side laughed brightly when he heard that the number of movie viewers exceeded 3 yesterday, and he didn't have the slightest sense of "being taken advantage of": "Daddy Yang, should we send out those navy troops?"

Yang Zhu thought about it carefully: "I'm not busy for now, just wait for another month and wait for the second wave of CDS to be bought before starting."

Prince Lin was a little worried: "Although this can completely avoid agitating others, it is really uncomfortable to just watch the fat of the box office go away like this."

Yang Zhu laughed: "Although the navy can't be mobilized, those traditional media can make some topics!"

"After all, Ian's master key is a waste if it is idle!"

………………

In the next half a month, the movie "Second Depression" suddenly became topical;
The reason is very simple, that is, apart from other things, an important plot in the movie is that the "Thunder Brothers" company finally went bankrupt!

Combined with other details of the movie, a discerning person can see that this so-called "Thunder Brothers" is actually "Lehman Brothers", which is the top six companies on Wall Street!
So, starting from a joke by a host of a variety show, the future of "Lehman Brothers" suddenly began to be enthusiastically discussed on TV. Some suspected that its financial fraud was false, and some suspected that its business layout was unreasonable;

But the biggest topic is, what kind of mortal enemy did "Lehman Brothers" provoke, that they did not hesitate to make a special movie, and spent so much energy and money on it?
Constrained by the tide of public opinion, "Lehman Brothers" had to send many experts to defend and fight back on various TV programs, and even its own CEO also went into battle;
There is no other way, the stock price of Lehman has already fluctuated due to the influence of the public opinion during this period. If there is no strong counterattack, the company will suffer serious losses. However, the director and investor of this movie are Wannian divers. Without any pretense, Lehman Brothers can only focus on whitewashing.

The various capitals that have been paying attention to this matter are slightly relieved. Recently, there have been several waves of unknown forces raising their tails and beating the waves in the stock market and financial securities market. They have been doing this for a long time in order to snipe Lehman Brothers!

This kind of method of exposing or damaging the reputation of the other party’s company through various means before shorting a certain stock is not uncommon. Although there is no Lehman Brothers in the scope of the other party’s shorting, it is just a cover-up;
The so-called dead friends don't die poor people, I just need to watch the show on the sidelines, and if the time is right, it's a pretty good choice to have a bite of meat at the end...

………………

Benefiting from the popularity of the topic, the box office of "The Second Crisis" rose against the trend. The second week brought it the fifth place in the North American weekly box office, and the fourth week it went directly to the third place with a box office of 5 million US dollars;
In one month, "Second Crisis" earned 1.6 million US dollars in the United States alone, and then activated the secret key to continue its success in the theaters it had established.

After enjoying the good show for more than 40 days, Lin Xiong and the others successfully purchased the third wave of CDS. The financial circles in the United States are sure of two things;

First, there are indeed people who plan to give Lehman Brothers a hard time, and the movie "Second Depression", which is currently a hot topic, is their means;
Second, in foreign capital, there are indeed a group of fools with low IQs. Some people even believed the plot in a movie because it was made too realistically, and began to want to short the U.S. economy on a large scale. Don’t they know that the U.S. Is it sucking the blood of the whole world? As long as the country's reputation and social confidence don't drop, no matter how big the bubble is, it can hold up!

That's right, there are several hot money from unknown origins that have started their own short-selling behavior. The amount is still not small, but they basically concentrate their power on the US stock market. For CDS, it is still Yang Zhu and the others who are singing a one-man show.

After the evaluation of Yang Zhu and Lao Fox, there are currently no less than [-] huge hot money forces circulating around the United States. These hot money companies have most likely discovered the risks of the U.S. economy, but they are subject to the very metaphysical variable factor of "American people's confidence" , most of them just stretched out their tentacles and lightly touched them.

Those few forces that have spent a huge amount of money now, no accident, there must be two that I already know the background, as for the remaining three, I can't guess,
But who cares, this is the time when the more help the better. With these organizations as cover, Yang Zhu and the others will be safer when they evacuate.

………………

Although "Second Crisis" has been offline in many places, the giant LED on the Empire Square has not been taken down. The lonely "27 days and 14 hours" line is particularly dazzling, and everyone who passes by can't bear it. Just take a look, no matter if you have seen this movie or not, anyone who knows the plot of the movie will always have an inexplicable sense of depression, as if something is about to happen...

"Now is the time to start our navy. Remember, strictly follow the original plan and start in batches. You know, many people are planning to get to the bottom of us. Starting now is considered dancing on the blade, but We can't let people catch our pigtails so easily." Yang Zhu read a few stacks of materials, thought for a while, and said to the people around him.

Lin Xiong looked a little hesitant:

"Nephew, it's okay for us to use the water army, but should we reconsider the thing thrown out?"

"You know, once this thing spreads on the Internet, it will certainly be a heavy blow to the financial circle in the United States, but it will also be a wave of disaster for our country!"

Yang Zhu looked at him with a half-smile: "Why, do you still want to be a good person?"

"To be honest, although I'm part of the capital circle, I have long disliked the behavior of those domestic companies who cut leeks,"

"If you have the ability to go abroad to harvest, what's the point of thinking about playing with your own people all day long?"

"Besides, the route that Dahua Investment will take in the future is definitely not to touch domestic finance. Since it has actually parted ways with certain capital institutions, why are you so concerned about their lives?"

Lin Xiong struggled, and did not speak for a long time.

Yang Zhu became a little impatient:
"Anyway, you can figure it out. If you don't follow my plan, I can't guarantee that the plan will finally achieve results. If it fails..."

"You bear the consequences yourself!"

Then he looked at the old fox with malicious eyes: "Hey, let me do the math, the 30 billion US dollars from Mama Liu, the 70 billion US dollars calculated by Ian, and [over there] a total of 40 billion US dollars." More than $[-] billion invested;”

"You can explain to them slowly by yourself!"

"More importantly, if this plan fails, how are you going to explain it to your superiors?"

"Could it be that you act like a good student and tell them that you can't bear to affect those domestic colleagues who specialize in bubble games, so you temporarily changed your plan?"

Lin Xiong's face was ugly, shit, he shouldn't have bitten the bait of this little fox at that time, and as a result, he gradually lost his dominance. Up to now, it's even more difficult. No matter how he chooses, he still has two faces.

After struggling for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Success! I will do as you say!"

After the nominal principal gave the order, he slumped on the sofa like a deflated ball, and then stared at the nonchalant Yang Zhu with hatred in his eyes.

Yang Zhu looked at the old fox who was almost biting his teeth, and said slowly:
"Don't make such an appearance. After all, you just feel that your benefits are not proportional to the risks you take?"

"Don't worry, I have already discussed with Ian a week ago, they will lend us 40 billion US dollars, and the interest will be calculated according to the inter-bank lending."

"In this way, even if this part of the funds can only be used for shorting the stock market at present, the profits in the middle will be enough to make you a lot of money without the high interest!"

Lin Xiong was immediately overjoyed: "Really!?"

Yang Zhu rolled his eyes: "Is it fun to tease you?"

After Lin Xiong was excited, he suddenly became suspicious again: "How could Ian borrow so much money so easily? You must know that now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If they invest the 40 billion, they can earn far more than that in an instant. Is it the profit from lending?"

Yang Zhu smiled enigmatically: "That's because you don't know what they want!"

After finishing speaking, he kept silent.

But I thought in my heart that apart from this reason, the more important thing is that these people only dare to hide in the dark at present, and "secrecy" is their top priority. If it is not because of the real economic crisis in the United States It's a once-in-a-lifetime event, and there are enough fish schools to confuse them, so they won't invest so much in it;
Even so, the $70 billion invested in the U.S. stock market is already their limit, and if there is more, there will be problems;

Hey, lending money to Lin Xiong can not only earn a small interest rate, but also make their goal a step further, why not do it?
………………

Three days later, the US network suddenly exploded;

The reason is this, a netizen suddenly posted a series of formulas on his social media;

It is said that after watching "The Second Depression", I restored the mathematical model in the plot of the movie, and substituted the flash data summary in the movie, and came to the conclusion that this mathematical model is actually true. , and the results calculated using this mathematical model showed that the U.S. economy would collapse exactly as shown on the LED screen in the Empire State Plaza, just 24 days later.

For a while, this shocking conclusion was reposted by countless netizens. Groups of people who are knowledgeable in economics and mathematics reconstructed the series of mathematical formulas posted by this netizen and the group of aggregated data that was obviously captured in a movie theater. Conclusion - These formulas and results are true!

As a result, the news media seemed to smell bloody sharks, and they took the set of mathematical formulas on their mobile phones and interviewed economics experts and mathematics professors from various universities to prove the falsification;

You must know that this mathematical model can be described as a secret among secrets, and it is the foundation for the survival of major capital institutions, especially companies in the financial sector;
If this set of formulas is true, the public can easily use this formula to know how much gold is in their securities assets and whether the financial statements of listed companies have been falsified through this formula;

And if it falls into the hands of other capital institutions, it will be even more terrifying. They can completely calculate when they can snipe one stock after another, or directly snipe a certain US market because of excessive leverage ratio. As long as the means are suitable, It’s completely accurate;

In this case, unless all listed companies and financial securities firms in the United States operate strictly in accordance with real data, they may be knocked unconscious at any time by a flying stick;
But how is this possible?

If you can't steal, play tricks or play tricks on people's hearts, how can Wall Street make a living?
So after dozens of economists spent a long time researching and calculating in front of the camera, and publicly admitted that this set of mathematical formulas is real and effective at the moment, the whole of the United States was a sensation. The basic people started to calculate with this set of formulas, and then posted the shocking numbers on their respective social media;

As the wave of "All People Do Questions" swept across the United States, the movie "Second Depression" was once again on the cusp of the storm, and countless people flocked to the cinema. But I want to dig again, what kind of "treasure" is there.

So soon, the second drop of water was thrown into the hot oil pan. I don’t know which netizen discovered it. The real estate overdue and supply cut data in the movie are almost the same as the situation around me, and I call on everyone to share it together. The data of relatives and friends nearby,

And this call was quickly responded by many netizens, who posted the data after the investigation and supporting photos on the Internet, and the ratio of the data in the movie was not much different.

All of a sudden, Wall Street couldn't sit still. These two waves of rhythm were more deadly than the last;
The exposure of that group of mathematical models certainly made them unable to sleep, fearing that they would be attacked as soon as they closed their eyes;

But after all, you can use your incomparable strength and influence to change the rules of the game and product forms to adjust slowly. As long as you can publicize the Congress and use special orders to deter and frighten the group of foreign "xiaoxiao", at most half a year, they will I can guarantee that that set of mathematical models will become history;

However, the second wave of rhythm completely disrupted their calculations. With the "prophet movie" as a reference and guidance, and with the help of this group of "unknown heights" netizens, this will make that movie a reality. While the damn movie was promoted to the real altar, it also caused panic at the whole society;
You must know that the reason why financial products dare to create so many bubbles is that the fundamental support point is the "confidence" of the people. Now, the confidence of the American people in the real estate market has dropped rapidly visible to the naked eye. an unprecedented catastrophe;
On the one hand, the lobbying action in Congress has just begun. It will take a long time until the policy is implemented, and capital attacks from all parties may occur at any time;

On the other hand, real estate and related series of financial turmoil are just around the corner. This is a disaster caused by the root cause. They have no effective way at present. They can only hope that this wave of turmoil will come later, so that They are prepared to cut some losses;
What, are you talking about playing a public opinion war?

Don't you know that the giants of Wall Street have joined forces during this period, and the newspapers and TV are full of "chaos anyway" remarks?So many endorsed experts and government officials call on everyone to maintain confidence, but fools know how effective it is;
Hey... This year's American people are too difficult to lead. The more they make a statement, the more they will guess the opposite.

"Fuck, who the hell made this shitty movie?"

"Lehman Brothers, this bastard, which mortal enemy did you provoke?"

"It doesn't matter if you are finished, but don't implicate us!?"

At eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, after an emergency meeting, the CEO of an investment bank leaned back on the boss chair exhaustedly, looking at the night scene outside the window;
At this point, although some people faintly feel something is wrong, most Wall Street institutions still think that the current predicament is a black swan incident caused by some ignorant guy in order to snipe or attack Lehman Brothers or AIG...
