The Salted Fish Invading the Entertainment Circle

Chapter 170 A Reality Worse Than Movie Plots

Time came to November 3,
Countless American people passed by the Empire State Plaza, looking at the words "19 days and 21 hours" on the super giant LED, more or less showing a trace of awe mixed with other complex emotions on their faces;
These days, as the incident unfolds, the depression of the US real estate industry can be seen with the naked eye. The public is very sensitive to discover through TV programs that housing prices have dropped by more than 20% compared to three years ago, and various housing agencies are full of people who are unattended. Even so, there are countless homeowners who list their real estate in the intermediary every day.

And on the street, I don’t know when, more and more homeless people set up tents. After 21 o’clock in the evening, the tents for a walk are really scary, as if I am not in the United States in the [-]st century, but in the [-]st century. Concentration camp during World War II.

………………

In the tent, Jefferson looked at Jeff with a complicated expression: "Little Angel Jeff, do we really want to do this?"

Jeff's expression was also hesitant, but finally he gritted his teeth: "Yes!"

Confusion was written on Jefferson's face: "But, will it end up as a terrible riot like in the movie?"

Yes, as early as half a month ago, Lin Tu and the others had chartered a few community theaters in the name of public welfare activities, and invited these homeless people to watch the movie "The Second Depression".

The effect... Just look at the homeless people who were in a strong mood, cursed, or had twinkling eyes after leaving the theater.

Listening to Jefferson's worries, Jeff answered with certainty:
"There will be no riots, I believe in your character!"

"Moreover, now is the right opportunity to make the society and the government pay attention to you; as long as we insist on peaceful demonstrations, there should be a relatively large chance for the government to introduce some policies that can solve your difficulties. After all, relying solely on private volunteers is very It is difficult to solve the problem of homeless people on a large scale!"

"As long as we can solve your difficulties to a certain extent, we will be considered successful. Even if we are expelled by the police, we can still march for the second or third time. As long as we maintain restraint, in this general environment, it will not Is there anything dangerous?"

Jefferson looked at Jeff, who was faintly shining with holy light, and smiled bitterly in his heart, don't believe in our character, even I don't believe in my own character;
Besides, the homeless people are not the only ones who are helped by the Home for the Homeless. Some people are very violent in their psychology. It's hard to say whether there will be any accidents at that time.

Just as Jefferson was thinking about how to persuade Jeff, Jeff continued:

"Besides, after several discussions with those of us in non-profit organizations, we feel that what Lin said makes sense;"

"In the United States, any group needs to have its own spokesperson to fight for legal, reasonable and fair treatment for them;"

"Currently, blue-collar workers, farmers, people of color, environmental protection groups, and women's rights groups all have their own spokespersons, and even the gay community has their own spokespersons, but there is no spokesperson for the homeless group;"

"And if you want to create and fight for the rights and interests of the homeless group, either the spokesperson has enough social influence, or the homeless group itself has political and economic value, or... the homeless themselves start to have political influence;"

"Judging from the previous situation, the homeless group did not touch any of them,"

"But it's different now. The U.S. economy is currently in a depression visible to the naked eye, and the government must focus on stability;"

"And with the influence of "The Second Depression", the government must also be afraid of uncontrolled riots among homeless people like in the plot of the movie;"

"So, now is a good time for us to expand our social influence and put forward our own interests;"

"The idea is to have the government create a unit dedicated to the homeless community through massive peaceful demonstrations," he said.

"Not only do we need to allocate a part of the funds to improve the living environment and medical conditions of the homeless, those abandoned or unoccupied houses must also be allocated to you in a planned way. At least, we must ensure that not so many people are frozen to death every year. !"

"The most important thing is that in order to ensure that this measure is effective in the long run, there must be a group of homeless people's own representatives to speak out in this department,"

"We people have agreed that each organization will send a person from the homeless group as a representative, and if you are willing, the representative of our [Homeless Home] is you, Jefferson!"

Jefferson listened quietly, and at first wanted to interrupt Jeff's words and tell her that your ideas are too naive;

However, when I heard later that I could become a representative, as a spokesperson for an interest group, and had my own social status, I suddenly thought about it;

It seems that this idea is not unworkable...

………………

At this moment, Ian was walking out of the tea break room with Yang Zhu with a complicated expression, and he glanced at Yang Zhu with a strong sense of guard.

After opening the door and seeing no one around, Yin En lowered his voice: "Yang, tell me, how on earth do you know we organize so many things?"

Yang Zhu looked indifferently, and looked at him: "I said, I may know more about your affairs than you think."

Ian's eyes were sharp: "Are you willing to swear in the name of the gods, are you not a member of some institution in your country?"

Yang Zhu first glanced at him with a disapproving look, and then sighed as if in compromise: "Well, since we are actually true partners, I will try to reassure you. .”

Then he touched his heart with his right hand, lowered his head slightly, and swore in the name of his ancestor that he believed in that he did not belong to any country or member of any official organization.

Seeing Yang Zhu swearing with his god, Yin En looked a little better, so he nodded, first expressed his apology, and then Shi Shi ran away...

………………

On the second day, there were several demonstration teams composed of hundreds of homeless people in New York, holding banners and shouting the slogan "The homeless are also human beings", so that the government should pay attention to the homeless group and give them enough voices channels and life security;
At the same time, the same demonstrators appeared in more than 20 cities including Los Angeles and San Francisco;

Affected by the plot of the movie, government departments around the country dispatched riot police one after another as if they were facing an enemy. Municipal officials also stepped forward immediately and listened to the "three major points and eleven small ones" of these marchers in front of the media cameras. , And then said that the government will listen carefully to every voice of the American people.

On the third day, when the parade reappeared, the city officials came forward and told them that they could only accept the four small requirements at present due to financial and human impacts, that is, some conditions to ensure the survival of the homeless, As for the others, it will take various adjustments and relevant laws to give a clear answer, and tell them very gently that they are confident that they will solve all the problems;
So the parade crowd cheered as if they had won a major victory.

However, although New York and a few cities have achieved some results for the time being, other cities are different. Some local governments rudely rejected the demands of the homeless. Although the two sides were relatively restrained and no serious physical conflicts occurred, the atmosphere was very unpleasant. .

This matter seems to have passed temporarily, but the influence it brought was beyond the expectations of the US government;

The so-called don't suffer from few but suffer from inequality;

Let’s take a look, hey, even a group as miserable as the homeless can make the government make concessions, so ordinary people like themselves who have been affected by the economic depression can also fight for their “legitimate rights”?
After all, no matter what I say, it should be more important than those tramps.

As a result, countless parades flooded the streets. Those who owed housing loans, those who were laid off and lost their jobs, those whose investments were damaged, and those who felt discriminated against in life and work all came out one after another, and put forward their demands for compensation to the government;

Relevant government officials were overwhelmed by so many parades at the same time. They could only comfort them with gentle words, but they refused to answer their inexplicable requests.

So these teams failed and returned.

After everyone went back, they wondered why the demonstration results of themselves and the homeless group were completely different?

In the end, I came to a conclusion that my number is not enough, and more importantly, the slogan is not loud;

You must know that the Western countries represented by the United States are different from East Asian countries; East Asia pursues a "shame culture" with morality as the most resonant evaluation standard; while the United States pursues a "criminal culture" with various original sin as the criterion of evaluation;
So on the fifth day, these parades quickly expanded to more than 300 people while recruiting strong men, and many of them invited some homeless people as their members;

On the other hand, they put out the slogan that "the government and Wall Street are in the same boat and jointly exploit the people's property", asking the government to compensate them for their losses.

When the government saw it, it couldn't be compromised. Once he made a concession, wouldn't he admit that he was in the same nest as Wall Street snakes and rats?What's more, if everyone asks the government to bear the losses, will it bankrupt the government every minute?
Therefore, in the process of seeing-saw between the two sides, people kept coming in to join in the fun, and the parade became more and more larger and larger, and there were hardly a few idlers and vagrants in the whole city—they were all Pulled to be a young man!
Finally, on the eighth day, as the emotions of both sides became more and more irritable, physical conflicts began. Some people in the parade yelled, and then began to throw stones;

People have a herd mentality, let alone in this situation?
As a result, the parade soon turned into a riot, but fortunately, these anti-riot policemen had been vaccinated in advance, and with all the equipment and restraint, they did not turn into a riot like in the movie. conflict of scale;

In fact, under the government's intentional restraint, the police didn't even make any arrests, and just watched this group of people leave;
If this is the case, then this matter will not cause much trouble. After all, parades in the United States and Western European countries are popular, and parades with tens of thousands of people happen every year. What is this?

But the bad thing is that when the crowd was about to disperse, someone shouted from inside: "The government won't pay us, we'll get it ourselves!" Then several people took the lead and rushed towards the nearby store. Under the nervous gaze, he swaggered out with a bunch of goods in his arms;
Everyone suddenly realized, yes, with so many people, who would dare to resist if they grabbed something?

Besides, what they said is right, if the government doesn't pay compensation, will you just be a little sheep at the mercy of others?

Happiness, but you need your own hands to "fight"!

So, a group of people followed suit and rushed to various stores to grab them;

This plague-like behavior spread to the entire city in just two days. The streets were full of those who set fire to shops and cars, snatched goods, beat people, and paralyzed traffic by setting up roadblocks; The cosmopolitan metropolis has become a World War II battlefield.

Now, the U.S. government can’t sit still. This has completely touched its own bottom line, so countless police officers were dispatched, and hundreds of people were arrested in one day. There is one person who came back from injury.

Originally, if the U.S. government continued to suppress in this way, although there was a lot of public opinion after the incident, the incident itself might be brought under control within a week;

But some unscrupulous guy designed so many small tricks, how could they make their wishes come true?
So, on the No.12 day, the incident took a rather meaningful turn;

On this day, as usual, a group of "demonstrators" of various composition were walking on the street with trophies in their hands. Suddenly, when they passed a gun shop, they turned around and rushed in. The shop owner took a closer look. After the appearance of a person, he first threw a bunch of keys out, then slammed his head on the anti-theft fence, and passed out with bleeding from his head.

So the rest of the plot is easy to guess. This group of people opened the gun cabinet with the key, and asked friends and friends to get more people to collect guns and ammunition. In just two hours, all kinds of demonstrators who did not know the so-called An "armed force" of 70 people;
The same situation happened in various places in the United States. There were always fireworks and firecracker shops, gasoline stations, and gun stores captured by "thugs". bomb",
Immediately, the social security situation in the United States deteriorated sharply. Police and demonstrators died and were injured every day. Almost all the shops on the street were closed, while the "demonstrators" completely learned from the movie and used various means to open jewelry stores, luxury goods, etc. The door of the store, even without knowing what means, robbed a private bank, which gave birth to a group of "millionaires";
Under the trend of interests, more and more people joined this "carnival". Under the government's hesitant attitude, the whole United States fell into the biggest chaos in history;

Under such circumstances, under the guidance of an inexplicable public opinion, more than 6600 of the more than 1000 gun-holding organizations in the United States stood up, loudly denouncing the incompetence of the government, and at the same time claiming that they would use their weapons to protect themselves. Property, and some organizations claim to "help others" to help the government subdue these mobs.

As a result, the whole society is even more chaotic when these organizations are on the scene. Due to the laws of the United States, most members of gun-holding organizations dare not shoot at people before they are attacked. At most, they just shoot into the sky to intimidate and subdue them. those mobs;

But their behavior caused more trouble,
First of all, the gunshots that sounded everywhere made the people panic even more. The doors were blocked tightly, and they dared not even go out. If there is no flow, there will be no transactions. The entire city's economy is completely paralyzed;
Secondly, some mobs with ulterior motives and those who are a little bolder will not be frightened by your vain behavior. They are anxious to jump over the wall, and they directly pick up their guns to shoot at each other, or use Molotov cocktails as weapons to fight back In the beginning, the people in those organizations were quite injured, but later on, it turned into a scene where something went wrong and there were real swords and guns. This situation made all organizations, including innocent civilians, do The stress response is more intense, many people are injured and die every day, of course, there are more accidental injuries;

In the end, people from these organizations caused a lot of trouble to the police and members of the National Guard who gradually intervened. Walking on the street, there were people with guns everywhere. No one could tell who was from the organization with guns and who was from the National Guard. It's a mob - even if they agreed in advance to wear marks on their bodies, wouldn't those mobs follow suit?How difficult is it to wear a white towel or another Pikachu on your arm? People have so many supplies now!

Under such circumstances, deliberate attacks have become easier, and police accidents have occurred frequently. Coupled with those seemingly unarmed parade crowds, the entire United States has returned to the original headache on the "big food" battlefield. guerrilla warfare.

At this time, you ask the US economy?
I'm sorry, the U.S. economy has long been over. When the parade crowd had weapons in their hands, that is, when the fireworks were set off across the city, the U.S. stock market began to plunge. Under the chain reaction, the capital of the U.S. economy was shorted They are so happy that they can't wait to celebrate with fireworks all day long, and any investor who is long in the United States will lose even his underwear, not to mention those CDOs and MBS, which are now completely equal to half a scrap of paper;
And after 7 days of fireworks, countless capitals, including those from their own countries, fled the United States. The U.S. economy completely collapsed. There are still countless divestment applications that make Wall Street companies want to jump off the building anxiously!

Hmm... If calculated according to this time, the prediction of the movie "Second Depression" actually failed, because the time displayed on the LED screen at that time was still 4 days old!

………………

Watching the carnival across the United States on TV and the criticism of the incompetent government by various media, Yang Zhu asked casually:

"Have all the bills been recovered?"

Lin Xiong on the side stared closely at the disorderly Chinese characters on the old-fashioned text messages that outsiders could not understand. His eyes were red. He hadn't slept much for five days. A specific financial channel to watch various stock market indicators and other financial information in the United States;
When Yang Zhu asked, he replied in a hoarse voice: "The money in the stock market has been transferred out, and the CDS compensation has basically arrived, and most of it has been transferred out;"

"However, there are still two private banks who are prevaricating with various reasons, hoping that their compensation time can be postponed by one week;"

"These two banks bought a CDS contract of 4 million US dollars, and the compensation amount was as much as 11 billion US dollars,"

"Hmph, I think they actually want to file for bankruptcy protection!"

Yang Zhu said disapprovingly: "At the moment, the best goal is to transfer all the funds in your hand safely, and don't stay in the United States for too long, otherwise it will be fun if something goes wrong."

"As for the compensation of 11 billion US dollars, you can just transfer the debt rights to Ian and the others. The right is to pay off the debt."

Lin Xiong and the Lin brothers and sisters looked at him with strange eyes, clearly saying: "How can there be such shameless people in the world?"

You know, if the other party enters the stage of bankruptcy and liquidation, the 11 billion US dollars is basically in vain. It would be good to recover 1/4 of it in your lifetime; If you release money to offset the loss of your own assets, by then, the actual value of the money will have shrunk a lot.

Looking at their eyes, Yang Zhu shrugged: "Don't look at me like that, what if Ian will accept this gift with pleasure?"

"You know, for them, they don't care about the $11 billion. Maybe they will happily take over these two private banks?"

"You know, as long as the operation is concealed enough, the acquisition of these two private banks will not be known to the outside world at all. For Ian and the others, these two private banks may be more valuable."

Everyone stopped talking, this Yin Enshen was very mysterious, except for Yang Zhu, no one knew what they were planning, but I should not ask too much, because this world is very dangerous, it is a good thing to know less .

Drunken and trembling, he scanned the row of numbers in front of him, and Lin Xiong said to Yang Zhu: "Your part of the income looks scary enough now, should I open a Swiss bank account for you? put the money in?"

At the beginning of the operation, in order to show his confidence, Yang Zhu also invested all his savings in it. After accumulating the income of several movies, there was even a little over 1 million yuan. At that time, he chose to invest in CDS, which was nearly 30. With double leverage, you can get a lot of money;

In addition, this plan was proposed by him, and there are many key nodes in the middle of which are his opinions. In addition, Ian's forces have been settled, which has provided a lot of assistance for the smooth progress of the plan. Therefore, his "operation pumping into" a lot,
Although it seems to be only 2%, but considering the huge amount of funds harvested this time, the funds obtained from this rake alone exceed the market value of most domestic companies.

Therefore, Lin Xiong asked him if he wanted to open a Swiss account, and it was also for his own good. Although the profit of this transaction is amazing, the risk is also not small. In the part of buying a murder in the movie, Yang Zhu has a Swiss bank account, so it is easier to buy his life with money.

When Yang Zhu heard this, he rolled his eyes: "Why should I deposit in a Swiss bank? Do you really think Swiss banks are so safe?"

"Let's keep it in China. If I die at that time, it will be more convenient for my son to inherit it. Otherwise, the Swiss bank may find various reasons to steal the money!"

Lin Xiong knew this and was a little speechless. Do you think you are one of those Jewish people during World War II? How could they go all out to embezzle such a small amount of money?
But since the Lord said so, he didn't bother to bother.

Suddenly he remembered something, and his face became a little serious: "Nephew, I forgot to tell you something."

Seeing the look on the old fox's face, Yang Zhu had a bad feeling: "What's the matter?"

The old fox hesitated a bit, and showed a rare expression of coercion: "Well... I will be back in a few days. After I go back, someone wants to talk to you."

When Yang Zhu heard his words, he thought for a moment and knew what it was about. He said nonchalantly: "Let's just talk about it. What a big deal!"

There are some unspeakable emotions in my heart,
This day, after all, has come...
