However, on the one hand, Ponzi made financial mysteries, and on the other hand, he set up a huge bait. He declared that all investments can get a 40% return within 90 days. Moreover, he also gave people the evidence of "seeing is believing": the first batch of "investors" did get the returns promised by Ponzi within the specified time. As a result, a large number of subsequent "investors" followed up.
In about a year, almost 40,000 Boston citizens became investors in Ponzi's money-making plan, and most of them were poor people with dreams of getting rich. Ponzi received a total of about 15 million US dollars in small investments. The average person "invests" a few hundred dollars. At that time, Ponzi was called by some ignorant Americans as one of the three greatest Italians who were as famous as Columbus and Marconi (one of the inventors of radio), because he "discovered money" like Columbus discovered the New World. Ponzi lived in a villa with 20 rooms, bought more than 100 expensive suits with special leather shoes, owned dozens of gold-studded walking sticks, and bought countless expensive jewelry for his wife. His pipes are studded with diamonds. When a financial expert exposed Ponzi's investment fraud, Ponzi also published an article in a newspaper to refute the financial expert, saying that the financial expert did not understand anything.
In August 1920, Ponzi went bankrupt. The money he received, according to his promise, could buy hundreds of millions of European postal notes. In fact, he only bought two. Since then, "Ponzi scheme" has become a technical term, which means using the money of the later "investors" to give returns to the previous "investors". Ponzi was sentenced to 5 years in prison. After he was released from prison, he did several similar activities, so he spent a longer time in prison. When he was deported back to Italy in 1934, he tried to deceive Mussolini, but failed. In 1949, Ponzi died in a charity hall in Brazil.
90 days 40%?
What about them?
9000 is the daily interest rate of 0.8%,
27000 is 1%,
81000 is 1.2%,
Ninety days is 72% based on the lowest grade! ! !
Not to mention that the highest grade is 108%! ! ! ! !
Plus the form of organization? !
When Chu Lihua thought of this, her whole body shuddered, and goose bumps appeared all over her body.
It turned out that Wan Ting's participation should not be the so-called offshore financial settlement project that all of them participated in, it was really a proper Ponzi scheme!
And in the case of my own ignorance, I actually really participated in it. Because she pulled the so-called subordinates, and there were still several of them, no matter whether it was sincere or for other reasons. She is also the one at the tip of the little pyramid.
what to do?
Escape? !
It was only then that Chu Lihua realized how big a mistake she had made because of her stupidity.
Did Wanting know about this situation in advance?
No wonder she and Bian Shi only made small ones.
The so-called no money is a lie, they know there are risks. But thinking about it, make a fortune first, and it will be the fastest way to get back the money first.
But how confused I am! At that time, Bi Ximing seemed to have told Tang Xue that this was probably the case, but no one thought about it deeply. Looking west, they were all blinded by the golden light of a big golden ingot rolling towards him.
All you think about is thinking about how much money you can make in the future. You have not considered the risk at all, not to mention, you have become an accomplice unconsciously.
Gradually, Chu Lihua felt that her hands and feet were cold and her whole body was cold.
Her stomach still hurts.
No, now that things have happened, what I can do is to "surrender myself". Report the case with Tang Xue and the others, admitting their role in the whole incident.
Having figured this out, Chu Li suddenly felt her body relax instantly, and she fell asleep in a daze.
The next day, Chu Lihua was woken up by the ringing of the phone from Tang Xue.
Chu Lihua answered the phone in a daze, only to break out in a cold sweat suddenly.
Then instantly felt a hot stream gushing out from the lower body.
Oops! ! !
Immediately afterwards, overwhelming pain swept across Chu Lihua's abdomen.
It's just that the pain didn't make her lose her breath.
Chu Lihua didn't know if her face was pale now, but she felt that her cheeks were numb, and there were big beads of sweat on her forehead, rolling down her cheeks.
Chu Lihua got up tremblingly, her feet were trembling, and her hands didn't have much strength.
It took a long time to put on the "little cotton padded coat" for it, and the clothes on my body felt soaked.
Chu Lihua didn't have the strength to wash herself anymore.
She was afraid to go back to bed and wanted to slow herself down for a while, and then she washed up and set off when she was energetic.
However, when Chu Lihua was still suffering from pain, she was dying.
The phone rang again, it was still Tang Xue.
——"Lihua, what's the matter with you? I sent you a WeChat message and you didn't reply. Where have you been? We are waiting for you to go there together at the subway station of Ziwu College Station."
Just as Chu Lihua answered the phone, before she had time to speak, Tang Xue's dissatisfied voice rang in her ears.
——"Wait for me a moment, I'm not feeling well, why don't you go over first, and I'll come later."
Chu Lihua almost exhausted all her strength to say such a sentence.
——"Okay, then hurry up. We'll go there first, and you can hurry over here in a while. You can't find the address, so let's wait for you in the subway station when we get there."
The phone hung up again.
——"Chu Lihua, although we will say that Wan Ting is the mastermind of the whole incident, we will definitely confess to you. If you go with us, you may still"
After Chu Lihua hung up the phone, she happened to see this message from Zhang Zegui.
Zhang Zegui actually thought that he was shirking and making excuses not to go. It's ridiculous.
Chu Lihua stood up with this bad breath, and then hurriedly wiped her face casually.
After putting on a suit of clothes indiscriminately, I resisted the door and went out.
For the first time, she would walk out in such pain.
In the past, I would just endure it and rush home to cover a hot water bottle or something, but now I can't control everything. There must be a price to pay for what you do, but why let others force you to do it?
Chu Lihua took a few breaths before walking to the door of the apartment.
Only now did she realize that it was raining heavily and there was a lot of water outside the door. Judging by how watery it is, it may have been a long time.
However, Tang Xue didn't say anything on the phone, and had to go back to get the umbrella again. What a waste of time and frustrating.
Chu Lihua felt an indescribable bitterness in her heart.
Going back to get the umbrella this time, she even put on leather shoes with thick soles and raised insides.
Because she knew that at such a critical moment, once the soles of her feet caught cold, she would be worse off than die. Because of this, if you catch a cold, you have to soak your feet in cold water for a long time. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
