scam

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Wang Xiuyuan changed the subject.

"How are Devik and Renoson doing lately? Did they manage to get their startup capital from their families?"

"Their communications with their families were quite successful. Although it was a winding road for some, they all successfully got their startup capital; it was just a matter of the amount.

Now they're scouring the world for projects, each of them full of ambition."

"Fuck~"

Wang Xiuyuan blurted out the curse word subconsciously, startling Mars beside him.

As soon as the word left his mouth, Wang Xiuyuan realized it and immediately began to perform damage control.

"Holy shit, their execution is amazing, isn't it? Everyone successfully got a sum of money from their respective families. That's something very worth celebrating.

Even though I knew the plan was feasible, I didn't expect all of them to succeed.

These guys are so inconsiderate. I gave them such a good idea, but not a single one of them remembered to come back and buy me a drink. Not even one."

"Haha, don't worry. Once they're done with this busy period, they'll definitely come and treat you. Just relax.

Without your advice, where would they get the money to look for projects? They'd probably all be living in a daze of indulgence."

Was Wang Xiuyuan angry because no one came back to buy him a drink? Was he lacking that one meal?

What he was angry about was that he had spent so much effort laying the groundwork and hinting, all to tie these people to his own ship. But after achieving their goals, they simply disappeared.

These bastards were broadcasting news everywhere looking for projects, yet not a single person came to find him, Wang Xiuyuan.

He already had several profitable large-scale projects brewing in his mind, but he couldn't start them due to a lack of connections and government relations. In the future, these projects could develop into money-printing machines with annual revenues of nearly a hundred billion dollars.

He originally wanted to bring these super Second-generation rich kids along, using their family power and networks to clear the way. Then, these businesses would definitely develop smoothly.

But who knew things wouldn't go as planned?

Now Wang Xiuyuan could finally understand why these people lost in the competition for family heirs. How could these blockheaded idiots win? What reason did they have to win?

If such brainless fools were to inherit their families' massive assets in the future, one wouldn't even need to think to guess what would become of those families.

"Wang, look at those two in the corner. Aren't they Renoson and Sanchez?"

Mars pointed to the corner of the banquet hall. Wang Xiuyuan looked in the direction she was pointing, and it really was Reynoldson Rockefeller and Sanchez Roosevelt. They were chatting animatedly with a stranger.

"Mr. Renoson, Mr. Sanchez, are there any other questions you'd like to ask about the bond I've introduced?

Our company has been issuing this type of bond for two years now, and the returns are very much guaranteed.

Early investors can get an ultra-high return of at least seventeen percent a year, and some have even received an annualized return of twenty-two percent.

In the past two years, our company has had countless successful cases. You both know some of the investors, so you can feel confident in investing your money.

When you need the money, our company can help you sell it. We only charge a nominal handling fee.

It's very convenient."

The guy facing Renoson and Sanchez was clearly no pushover. His custom-made suit of fine worsted wool was worth over ten thousand dollars, and one would have to wait a long time to get it.

The Vacheron Constantin watch on his left wrist was a limited edition released at the end of 1978. Only fifty were issued worldwide, valued at 130,000 dollars.

Someone willing to splurge on such an outfit would normally have a net worth of at least ten million dollars.

Renoson and Sanchez were slightly hesitant. In their eyes, those successful cases were enough to prove the reliability of the bond. They did indeed have some friends who had invested in it and made significant profits.

But lately, they had been feeling inexplicably uneasy. It was a strange feeling, and they didn't know where the problem lay.

"Renoson, Sanchez, I didn't expect to see you two here tonight. You seem to be discussing something important. Do you mind if Mars and I listen in to learn a thing or two?"

"Yeah, if it's not a secret, let Wang and me listen in.

Not long ago, Wang was complaining to me that you guys weren't being fair. He gave you such a great idea, and you won't even buy him a drink.

You guys are way too stingy."

Teased by Wang Xiuyuan and Mars, Renoson and Sanchez felt embarrassed. After all, they really hadn't shown any appreciation.

Forget about buying a drink; they hadn't even made a phone call to say thank you.

Now that they were caught red-handed in a public place, it was quite awkward.

Since Wang Xiuyuan and Mars wanted to listen, they might as well let them. It wasn't exclusive or secret anyway. Besides, they could have Wang Xiuyuan help evaluate the reliability of the bond. In terms of finance, Wang Xiuyuan was definitely more professional than the two of them combined.

The two immediately warmly invited Wang Xiuyuan and Mars to sit down.

"Wang, I'm very sorry about that. We were in the wrong. We'll treat you to drinks tomorrow. I promise there will be a group of beautiful young models to take good care of you tomorrow night."

"Yes, we must treat you well. We were just overexcited for a while.

Come, sit down. This isn't a secret. You can listen too. If you're interested, you can invest a bit."

Sanchez looked across the table.

"Rudolph, let me introduce you. This is Livia Mars; her family is in the sugar business.

This is Wang Xiuyuan, a financial genius. He made a fortune investing in futures a while ago. He's definitely a big client."

"This is Rudolph Grusso, manager of the bond department at Huamei Brokerage. Their company has a bond with returns that look quite good."

Although he knew clearly that the high-interest bond Rudolph was pushing was a blatant scam, he still greeted the man with a smile.

He could only control himself and avoid falling into the trap. The thought of exposing the scam never even crossed his mind. What did it matter to him if the American people were swindled?

Besides getting a few dry words of thanks and praise, what good would exposing the scam do him?

Wang Xiuyuan wouldn't get any benefits other than words of gratitude.

The masterminds behind the scam, the interested parties, and the investors who lost their capital because of it—all of them would hate him from the bottom of their hearts, point their fingers at him, and even look for an opportunity to retaliate against him.

If Wang Xiuyuan didn't expose the scam, these people might keep getting money, and only those who joined later would become the real victims.

Who would they hate if not Wang Xiuyuan?"
