Chapter 253: The Inside Story That Ordinary People Can't Imagine
When Zhang Ruiming heard this. is already a little numb, whether it is the "G" or the "Mermaid", they are all movies he has watched before, and they are all films that are quite suitable for taking his family into the cinema for family fun, even Xuanxuan likes to watch movies, but at that time, Zhang Ruiming didn't know that there were so many twists and turns in it, and what he didn't expect was that these films were actually related to his work in the end, and now after hearing Wu Kaiming talk about these big scary numbers, he has just silently accepted the exaggerated energy and achievements of these people.
"In this way, it is indeed a profitable business...... I just feel a little curious, one is that the Zhongyou brothers invested one billion yuan to Fang Xiaoruan like this, are they really not afraid that his movie will be smashed? What I know, Fang Xiaoruan has really not had a few good-looking movies over the years, and there are not a few blockbuster movies, in case Fang Xiaoruan can't complete the gambling agreement, and really use that billion to make up the performance, will this Zhongyou brother really agree, watching him lose this money!?"
Wu Kaiming took Zhang Ruiming to the side of the elegant seat and sat down, he said unhurriedly to the student of more than ten years: "This is very complicated, on the one hand, the Zhongyou brothers really believe in Fang Xiaoruan's strength, I believe that he will not act badly, and Fang Xiaoruan is also under pressure, so you watch his movies over the years, whether it is "Yan Xipo" or "Siren Custom", they are all short-cycle, emotional, and high-turnover Chinese New Year movies, all of which are aimed at making money, and basically have no artistic value. Moreover, in order to increase the exposure of these movies and sell them at the box office, Fang Xiaoruan is doing everything he can, all kinds of hype without a lower limit, including the current "Yongle Dynasty", even such a vulgar topic as the boat shock has begun to stir up. And in the previous "Yan Xipo", Fang Xiaoruan was even more crazy about doing things! Not to mention, is it true that Wang Qilin Nadada Pictures suppressed the film schedule, just Fang Xiaoruan and Wang Qilin "teared" on Weibo, which can bring a high degree of attention to "Yan Xipo", at that time, the box office expectation in the separate gambling agreement for this film reached 500 million, do you think he is in a hurry? Is there something to do?
"What?! He had a big fight with Wang Qilin on the Internet at that time, and it was actually for hype? Wasn't Wang Qilin kept in the dark by him?"
"This ...... I don't know, the eldest son of Guangheng Group is not a simple person, but the hype incident back then was indeed planned by Fang Xiaoruan. ”
Zhang Ruiming slowly calmed down after a long period of shock, he took a sip of Yajia Spring in his hand, this bottle of international super expensive mineral water, he also drank it for the first time here, it is said that a small bottle is more than 100 US dollars, but in this auction site, it is already the most ordinary drink.
Zhang Ruiming stared at the bottle of this very chic and gorgeous snow mountain, and looked at it for a long time, today's auction house light venue and service fees, I don't know how much money to burn, and then think about the last time Qi Baishi's "Twelve Banners of Landscape" closed the auction commission of nearly 100 million, the values of this world are not at all imaginable by a poor civil servant like himself.
After half a ring, Zhang Ruiming asked slowly: "Teacher Wu still didn't tell me that if this Fang Xiaoruan didn't complete the gambling agreement, how would this Zhongyou brother make money, and after saying so much, he hasn't said what is the connection between the capital operation of these film and television circles and today's auction, I don't know if it is inconvenient for Teacher Wu to say? Or is there something else hidden?"
Hearing this, Wu Kaiming took a sip of the wine glass in his hand, he sighed lightly, slowly raised his head, looked at Zhang Ruiming and said: "Ruiming, you and I have known each other for so many years, do you see what I have hidden from you when I was studying?" Today, to be honest, I am also entrusted by the king to breathe with you, but it stands to reason that I myself came to this auction with a task, and some of these things involve myself, so some words can not be said thoroughly, or even not to be said, but I am still willing to confess to you. ”
Zhang Ruiming knew that what Wu Kaiming was going to say next was the most important thing today, so he nodded and handed over a grateful look.
"You know that in 16 years, four companies, Ali Venture Capital, P An Asset Management, T Xun Computer, and Z Information Construction Investment, set up 151 million shares of Zhongyou Brothers Film and Television Group to raise 4 billion yuan for it. After the Zhongyou brothers took a billion to vote for Fang Xiaoruan, did he do anything back then?"
Zhang Ruiming shook his head, although he didn't know the operation, but after thinking about it a little, he also knew what it should be an earth-shattering operation.
At this time, Wu Kaiming set his eyes on the highest price in the history of Chinese auctions in the middle of the exhibition hall - Qi Baishi's "Twelve Banners of Landscape".
“…… Are you saying that their friends and brothers, after raising the 4 billion at that time, immediately bought this painting?"
"Yes, after getting that large amount of financing, the Zhongyou brothers spent a quarter to buy Xia Xiaoruan's shell company, and then spent another billion to buy the painting. ”
"That'...... But why did they spend so much money on this painting? They couldn't have bought it in the name of the company, they should have cashed out their own shares and bought this collection, but this is really unbelievable, isn't it? What can this painting bring them?
I can't eat it, I can't use it, even if I exchange it for money, it should be very troublesome, I really don't understand, what is the use of these calligraphy and painting collections in this series of operations?"
Wu Kaiming, Wen Xu, smiled, and said lightly: "What's the use? That's very important, it can be said that without these priceless calligraphy and paintings, they can't complete this series of operations, and ah, the money they buy these calligraphy and paintings, after a turn, will be transferred back to them!"
"What!? Are you saying that after the billion dollars are bought for the paintings, they will come back to them!?"
"Yes, Ruiming, you have been a public prosecutor for so many years, and you should have handled a lot of bribery cases, do you know how those corrupt officials paid bribes through these calligraphy, paintings, and works of art?"
Zhang Ruiming sat up straight, "I know that the routine of those corrupt officials is very simple, that is, to do the game together with the giver through the auction house: generally before the auction starts, the bribe giver first gets an appraisal certificate from an authoritative institution to raise the reserve price of the lot, and then determines the owner of the lot as a bribe-taker." When the auction starts, a few more acquaintances are found to bid together, and the giver finally bids at a high price, and the money goes into the recipient's pocket. And the lot itself may have been given by the giver a few years ago. The auction houses involved in the game are almost risk-free. Except for the 12% commission that both parties to the auction house have to give, everything else has nothing to do with the auction house, and they are not even responsible for the authenticity of the lots, so I know that there are more than 30 large and small auction companies in China, which is the most in the world.
There are even some industries and companies, in order to obtain large orders in specific fields and industries, they will specially open such an auction house to help them carry this "basket".
There are also antique shops themselves run by corrupt officials who seek grey deals. Of course, they were all taken care of by the people they were fortunate enough to take care of, and the things were divided into two parts, one part was a fake, which was used to hide people's eyes, and the other part was something that was really bribed and used for auction. As long as the things used to take bribes are bought by those who ask these corrupt officials behind the scenes, it will prove that the business has been done, that is, these officials have agreed to do things - it may be to approve a project, or it may be to increase the number of officials to the knighthood."
Listening to Zhang Ruiming's head, Wu Kaiming couldn't help nodding beside him, "It seems that Zhang Jian has been very good over the years, these routines are very clear, so save me the effort to explain." You see, these corrupt officials look at the level of work, generally speaking, they can't touch Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, such tens of millions, hundreds of millions of calligraphy and painting artworks, generally more than one million prices of artworks to do this bribery and bribery intermediary, which is why the price of contemporary calligraphers and painters is relatively low, it has become the best choice for gifts: there is a reputation, more than the academy of fine arts just graduated, there is a market, a painting to the market at least one or two million. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Ruiming nodded, "Yes, I know, like Fan Zeng's paintings, which are now the most popular among Chinese painters, even when he faced an interview and asked why his paintings were so expensive, he himself said "Rely on corrupt officials inside, and bandits outside", a painting can easily cost millions, and it is really good to send it to maintain its value and conceal it." I also know that generally these officials like to send some paintings of the chairman of the calligraphy and painting association, because these officials don't understand art anyway, and they feel that as long as they have the title of chairman of the XX association, they feel reliable and valuable!"
Speaking of this, both of them laughed, the ancient officials sent calligraphy and paintings, they were all scholars, they knew calligraphy and painting, and they also understood art, and they were considered a "yuppie". It's basically to buy according to the title of a painter, and it's complete nonsense.
"So, the circulation of calligraphy and painting in the film and television industry is actually similar to the circulation of those who give and accept bribes. It's all a left-handed trick for a right-handed one, and the Zhongyou brothers spent one billion to buy this "Twelve Banners of Landscape", and the billion they spent on it, after giving it to the seller behind the scenes, do you think the seller will give them part of the money? Or is the seller behind the scenes the target of the bribery of the Zhongyou brothers? Or even the white gloves of a big guy in these four major investments? Ignore this for now, looking back, the one billion spent is also to give the Zhongyou brothers the opportunity to cash out at the high price of the stock price- Do you know how difficult it is for the listed group to find an opportunity to set up the existing situation, and in the end, the two brothers got the "Twelve Banners of Landscape", went around in circles, and then let a little brother come forward and go to the bank to mortgage hundreds of millions of dollars, this will not be a difficult thing, right? After all, there is a previous transaction price there, and this is also a world-renowned artwork, and the more it turns, the more it retains its value. Even if the Zhongyou brothers do not repay these hundreds of millions of dollars in the future, and leave this artwork to the bank, who would think that this painting is really worth 1 billion yuan when the time comes, and when the time comes, when we really talk about the value of this "Twelve Banners of Landscape"? And what should the bank do? I can only confiscate his so-called 100 million yuan of artwork, and these hundreds of millions of bad debts will be the wealth of the country and the common people! Now, Zhang Jian, do you think they will lose money?
When Zhang Ruiming heard this, he didn't know how many times he was shocked, his head was a little messed up by this complex "capital operation", and he couldn't sort out the operation relationship at once, he shook his head and used his own words to sort out the logical line from the beginning.
"Mr. Wu, are you saying that this Zhongyou brother first bought Fang Xiaoruan's small company worth 10,000 yuan with 1 billion, and the 1 billion came from the four big capitals of A Li, P An, T Xun, and Z Xin
Ben's fundraising, so are these four big capitals stupid? No, where do these fundraisings come from? These are the money of ordinary leek shareholders across the country. And in the end, these people spent one billion yuan of shareholders to buy such a work of art, which is equivalent to returning the billion to the bigwigs behind the scenes. Pledge to the bank, and at that time, you can lend hundreds of millions of yuan from the bank, and then, after they don't repay the money, these hundreds of millions of bad debts will be recorded on the heads of the country and the people, so, after some operations, this Zhongyou brother can make a net profit of more than a billion yuan with empty gloves and white wolves!?"
After listening to Zhang Ruiming's combing, Wu Kaiming did not rush to answer whether it was right or wrong, but just looked at him with a smile and nodded.
"Now, you know who these people are really stupid X even if they spend a billion to buy a leather bag company and a billion to buy a painting. ”
Zhang Ruiming exhaled fiercely and said, "These grandsons are so bad!"
Wu Kaiming continued: "Actually, this cycle is not over yet, they still have a way to play, I haven't told you yet." ”
"And?"
"Yes, there's another way to play, and that's money laundering...... You have handled so many cases, you should also know that the film and television industry is the most convenient industry for money laundering, such as filming explosion scenes and giving yin and yang contracts, which are all good opportunities for money laundering. ”
Zhang Ruiming said: "I know, like some location explosion scenes, anyway, the props and sets are all budgeted by themselves, and they fill it up casually, anyway, they will be blown up and burned by a fire, "death has no proof", often a scene blows up millions, in fact, the real cost is hundreds of thousands, of which millions are made of accounts and black money. As for the yin-yang contract, after Feng Binbin's incident came out last time, I studied it, in addition to the yin-yang contract that deliberately pays less tax, there is another kind of yin-yang contract that deliberately pays more tax, that is, in order to transfer black money through the remuneration of celebrities, which is also a kind of money laundering method. ”
Sometimes, the amount to be laundered is too large, the yin and yang contract is not good, and the explosion scene can't be blown up, so you can pull into the art market and play together. For example, a film and television company offers a labor remuneration of 50 million to a participating star, and after giving it to a certain star, the star will immediately use the money to buy a work of art at an auction, but in fact, this broken art is actually the private property of the owner of the film and television company. ”
When Zhang Ruiming heard this, he immediately touched the side channel: "Well, this is the reverse direction operation of the previous "Twelve Banners of Landscape". ”
"Yes, so the star can buy the private art of a hidden boss at a price of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in the form of buying art at auction, and often generate several times the premium;
In fact, it was these 50 million, which went around in circles, from the company, from the stock market, from the pockets of leek stockholders, and then returned to the boss's own pocket.
And what's the use of this art worth hundreds of millions of dollars? The star and his own leather bag company can continue to play, they can take this broken thing worth hundreds of millions of dollars, find a white glove, and go to the bank to pledge a loan, and then get back tens of millions of yuan. ”
"These scum are playing with the hard-earned money of our ordinary people in this way, taking out hundreds of millions of dollars at once, and so on! Speaking of which......" Zhang Ruiming, who had been numb to the shock of these unbelievable capital operations, suddenly felt something vaguely when he heard this.
Zhang Ruiming suddenly looked up at the scene, at this time in the one of the best luxury exhibition halls in Tianjin and Hong Kong, celebrities from all walks of life have arrived to sit down, several tall and beautiful emcee ladies are distributing the exhibition book of this lot to the VIPs one by one.
Today is another auction, and today there is this legendary "Twelve Banners of Landscape", and even that Fang Xiaoruan is at the scene again, speaking of which, this Fang Xiaoruan is the descendant of this Zhongyou brother, all of this is not completely in line with the various elements of "capital operation" that Wu Kaiming has just talked about for so long?
Zhang Ruiming's eyebrows jumped, his head slowly turned to Wu Kaiming, and his voice trembled a little and asked.
"Teacher, you said so much, in fact, do you just want to remind me that at today's auction, Fang Xiaoruan will follow the routine you explained earlier, and spend 110 or 200 million to buy this "Twelve Banners of Landscape"!? After buying, after a while, this Fang Xiaoruan will take this painting to the bank to mortgage hundreds of millions of yuan to cash out? And today's auction is another capital operation of these scum? Now it is the crime scene of these shameless bastards collecting money from the stock market and laundering money!?"
Seeing that Zhang Ruiming finally saw through the diorama of this auction house, Wu Kaiming smiled at the corner of his eyes at this time, and smiled at his beloved apprentice.
"The children can be taught. ”
