A neighboring province!
Anshi!
A certain street.
There is an old, three-story building. It's very dilapidated and looks like it's been built for quite some time.
A sign was hanging outside the building:
[Engineering Finance Company]
The interior was completely sealed off; every window was blocked by iron mesh, and the curtains were all drawn tightly. It hadn't been opened for years, and the building seemed to be mostly uninhabited. However, people would come out every day to buy supplies, indicating that quite a few people lived inside.
Many people pass by, but upon seeing this building, most instinctively keep a distance and don't get too close. Those living nearby have likely heard the legends surrounding this building:
Legend has it that no one who goes in has ever come out!
Legend has it that terrifying screams were heard at midnight!
Legend has it that there are powerful figures protecting this place!
legend....
.....
In any case, it's incredibly creepy and nobody dares to mess with it!
If the outside looks normal, the inside feels a bit cold and gloomy.
The entire building was covered with soundproofing tape, and several burly men stood guard at the exit, carrying tools such as sticks, machetes, and electric batons.
In a spacious, empty room.
The computer desks were packed tightly together, and at each desk sat a person, both men and women! Their expressions ranged from passionate to blank to numb, but without exception, they were all wearing headsets and constantly making phone calls. In the corner sat a young man with a desperate expression—Zhang Wei!
...
Zhang Wei had made a promise with an online friend that she could help him make a fortune, so he came here without delay. At first, everything was fine when he arrived. The online friend was a pretty girl who took him around the area and introduced him to a project that could earn him at least ten million yuan, although the amount was much less than he had expected.
But the girl was really good at persuasion, and she convinced Zhang Wei to do anything he couldn't resist.
Of course, there were also girls who made him feel like a real boyfriend, eating with him, playing with him, and even sleeping with him.
Um!
That's right! It's all about sleeping with someone!
This moment:
Zhang Wei had already decided to forget Yang Xue and elope with another girl, but his simp nature still prevailed.
He chose to focus solely on making money and avoid women, which greatly impressed the female online friend who then brought him to a financial group.
That is to say:
Inside this three-story building!
At the beginning:
When he first arrived, this three-story building wasn't like this. Although it was heavily guarded, it wasn't as completely sealed off as it is now. And when he first arrived, his daily routine consisted of meetings discussing their financial sunshine project, followed by meals, then games, and then beautiful women offering to share their experiences with him, even agreeing to have sex with him...
Of course, Zhang Weiquan chose to refuse!
But life was still very happy, which made him feel that he had made the right choice. The only drawback was that the food was a bit bad. Later, he passed the group's assessment and was allowed to enter the group's core project, which was the engineering plan.
Then his ID card and phone number were taken away! They told him it was to prevent anyone from leaking the group's financial plans.
He still had no doubts!
And then:
It means getting him to recruit others, or to invest money to make a small profit...etc.
Zhang Wei, who had been completely fooled, had no doubts whatsoever. He even believed that investing 69,800 yuan could earn him more than 10 million yuan, a return of 100 to 200 times, which was absolutely amazing.
even:
It's even more impressive than the rise of Qinjiang!
At that moment, Zhang Wei couldn't help but feel smug: "Hmph! I admit Brother Jiang is amazing, but I, Zhang Wei, am no less so! I discovered such an awesome project. An investment of 69,800 can earn over 10 million. Once I've earned over 10 million, I'll divide it into one or two hundred parts, and that'll be a billion or two in revenue, haha..."
"However, this thing also has a cycle! The more you invest in the early stages, the faster the snowball will roll."
"Yes! Invest more!"
At that time, Zhang Wei had no money, and he spent all his money on Yang Xue. His pockets were practically empty.
But if he doesn't have money, he can borrow it!
He first borrowed from his former good friends, then from his former classmates. It has to be said that he borrowed a lot of money, all thanks to his past relationship with Jiang Ge's roommate.
Well, how should I put it!
In many people's words: Qin Jiang is so powerful now that you can get a loan of 300,000 yuan from the bank just by having a photo with him, let alone being his roommate! Even if they were only roommates for a month, his friends and classmates all believed that even if Zhang Wei hadn't joined Heilongjiang yet, he might join someday, and with his status as Qin Jiang's roommate, he wouldn't be much worse off than Yan Hua in the future.
therefore.
To curry favor with Zhang Wei, everyone would lend him some money, which made his performance soar in the early stages. He became the most sought-after person in the team, and the team leader praised his abilities, saying that he would be the next manager! Everyone below him flattered him, and the women in the team couldn't wait to throw themselves at him.
that's all....
Zhang Wei had a wonderful two months!
Then....
That's it!!!
He's borrowed almost everything he could, and recruiting new people is extremely difficult. His relatives are all quite old and don't trust him much, so he can't fool them all. As for his classmates, they've all joined the Black Dragon Group, a multi-billion dollar conglomerate. Who would come to a financial company that has no reputation in the local area and has to pay money first? Isn't that pure nonsense?
They'll be in big trouble if they don't invest in Zhang Wei!
Performance has started to decline rapidly!
His status in the team plummeted, and the women stopped circling around him and started flocking to the newcomers.
after all:
Newcomers are often the ones who generate benefits the fastest.
Zhang Wei was very disappointed by this. He had no choice but to start looking for new people to join him. Although not everyone knew about pyramid schemes in 2013, it was still spreading in a small circle. Many people were wary of it, and not everyone had the courage to travel thousands of miles to make a living. In addition, Zhang Wei had limited speaking skills.
that's all...
Zhang Wei remained unnoticed within the team, but he refused to accept this! He continued to work hard, relentlessly pushing himself despite being at the bottom of the performance rankings. At this point, losing some money wouldn't have been a big deal, but who could have imagined that the financial company would suddenly change its business model?
Initially, they began to reinforce the equipment in the three-story building on a large scale and seal the windows, which was different from before when, although the management was strict, they did not completely prevent them from contacting the outside world.
Later, they brought in a lot of computers and telephones to build a large office, claiming that the financial company was going to undergo a major reform so that they would have more and easier ways to make money in the future.
In response to this.
All the pyramid scheme members were excited. Little did they know that disaster was about to strike…
