Chapter 411 Exposure should be based on facts
Intrigue and trickery, Link is not a good at, but he is not a stranger either.
He didn't believe that the Holden Company was so white. Doing business, whose fart [...] dare to say that it is completely clean. Real estate is one of the most problematic industries, but the situation is a little different from country to country.
He had heard that there was a very serious violation of the law in real estate in the United States. Since the Holden Company is the largest company in the United States, it is indispensable to think of those shady tricks. Maybe everyone knows, it's just not enough evidence. Or if there is evidence, they don't want to say it.
Since that's the case, let him poke through the window paper.
He called Douglas, "Do you know a mortgage broker?"
"Yes!"
"Find evidence of their work with a mortgage broker. He knew who he didn't have to name and Douglas knew who "they" were.
"Good!"
…………
When Link's foot was in the plaster cast, Douglas's intel came in.
By this time, Benehans' business was on track, and most of the employees who had been "furloughed" indefinitely were forced to resign. The company also hired a general manager to take charge of the day-to-day affairs of the company. Both Link and Jessica can be a little more relaxed.
It just so happened that Jonathan Nolan said that he had written the first draft of his script, and Kempner also said that he would set up a pollution-free food standards association, and invited him to attend.
He thought about going to Los Angeles first and then going to Texas.
"Shall we go shopping in Los Angeles?" Link said to Jessica. "You haven't been shopping for anything in a long time. ”
Jessica smiled and said, "Do I still have to go shopping when I buy something?" What she fancies now, as long as she makes a phone call, those merchants will come to her to serve her. Shopping? Don't pity her beautiful long legs?
But she also wants to go out for a walk: "I want to go to my mother's house for two days. Then go to Las Vegas and meet my best friend. ”
"Our matchmaker, Kissy, the pretty girl who doesn't show it?" is actually a very common name.
Jessica doesn't dare to laugh now, for fear of not being good for the child. But she listened to Link's words and couldn't help but hold back a sullen smile: "That's right, it's her." But she's not pretty and not obvious, that's Neixiu. She's a lot of men chasing. ”
"I'll have the bodyguards follow you. Before I left, I would help Hannah take time off and send her to Overtown for a few days. ”
The reason for saying that the girl was their matchmaker was because if it weren't for the fact that Jessica didn't know when she would know that there was a big vineyard in Nevada, she wouldn't have gone to Las Vegas, she wouldn't have bumped into him, she wouldn't have called him. Of course, I don't know when the rest will come. Maybe Jessica will end up being a Lala.
Jessica thought for a moment and said, "Hannah can't stay at Fox all the time, or I'll take her with me." My mom loves her. And I can take her to Las Vegas to play. ”
Link was just worried that Hannah would be alone in Mora Manor, and it would be better if Jessica was with her. He nodded and said, "That's hard work for you!"
"Hannah is very well-behaved, and I am actually very happy to be with her. ”
After the arrangement was made at home, he left with peace of mind.
In Los Angeles, when he checked into the hotel, he first called Catherine.
He pulled out a USB stick and asked Tiger to get out the notebook provided in the hotel room.
Catherine looked at the contents of the USB flash drive, frowned, and said, "Link, do you want West Hollywood to make this information public?"
Link nodded and said, "Do you dare to do it?" Because the content in it involves a lot.
"Why don't you dare?" said Catherine with a smile. "This is big news that no amount of media can find if they want to find it. It's just that we need to interview some of the people in this profile. In that way, the content of the report can be fuller and more credible. ”
"How long do you need to prepare?"
"Three days at most. Catherine thought to herself and said. "Three days is enough. We don't need to be interviewed by everybody. As long as a few people are willing to be interviewed by us. to be able to report. ”
"Well, be careful. During the interview, you may encounter some unexpected situations. ”
"Risky news is big news! And it's no more dangerous than war news. Catherine said with a smile. "Do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll go back first. I can't wait to get this news covered. ”
"You go back first. If there is any danger, stop all action immediately. I'll make another arrangement. ”
"Good. ”
After Catherine left, Link went to Nolan and talked to the Nolan brothers for a while. Jonathan explains his script, the inspiration for the story, and so on. Later, Martin also heard the news.
As soon as he entered, he said, "Link, your foot is healed!"
"Thank you, it's cured. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come out and run around. Link stood up and shook hands with him and hugged him. "Looks like you've been doing well lately, and you've been blessed. ”
The first thing Martin said when he sat down was, "That's because the cheese you sent me tasted great." Unfortunately, I only had to eat it for a week before I found it was gone. Where can I buy them?"
Link laughs and says, "It was made by a private British workshop. They will only make a certain amount of cheese each year. I went to England before Christmas last year to visit an aristocratic friend. It was he who introduced me to the workshop. And I only started supplying it this month, except for a dozen pounds that I bought at Christmas. It is said that the ancestor of the owner of the private workshop was an old British aristocrat, so they only accepted clients introduced by aristocratic friends. Maybe I can introduce you to my friends. ”
After listening to his explanation, Martin said disappointedly: "It seems that it is something that money can't buy." "Link might be able to introduce him to that aristocratic friend. But whether the nobleman was willing to introduce him to the workshop was another matter.
"If you like, I'll send you a pound a month when it arrives. ”
"Forget it. "I like it, but Martin can't always ask for Link's stuff, and as for giving money, does he have the face to talk to Link about money?" Maybe you can give it to me. ”
"Of course, you just need to say it in advance, and I promise to deliver it in time. ”
"Then I'll thank you first!" was able to settle for the second, and Martin was satisfied.
Christopher smiled at this time and said, "Those cheeses, I just ate the flavor of Devon cheese, I didn't expect it to be so big." ”
Link then woke up to the fact that the Nolan brothers were British. He laughs and says, "Stilton cheese is available at Harros Mall. The taste is really good, too. However, I ordered these from the UK, and I personally feel that the taste is more suitable for me. Of course, the point is that Hannah likes it. Although I restricted her from eating more, she had eaten at least three pounds alone in the past half month. ”
All three of them laughed. Link dotes on his daughter, and everyone who knows him knows it.
After laughing, Martin turned the subject back and said, "What were you talking about?"
"Talk about Jonathan's script. Link patted the script on his hand and said. "Let's talk about how the story can be restored in reality. ”
He was going to make this movie, mainly for Fox's Werewolf theme park. So some of the scenes in the story of the movie are to be presented in the park.
He smiled and said to Jonathan, "Jonathan, to be honest, I love this story. I need it to be a little more delicate, though. You know, I want my park to appeal to couples who are lost in love. ”
Jonathan frowned and said, "That's really one of my weaknesses. "He's writing science fiction scripts, not romances.
Christopher pinched his chin and suggested, "Maybe you can find a female writer who is good at writing emotional dramas." ”
Link smiled and nodded, "Christopher's a good idea. If we can make a book, we can publish it first. ”
Jonathan said thoughtfully, "I think I can find good collaborators. Then Link, I might need another month or so to perfect the script. ”
"That's okay, as long as the script is good enough, I'm not afraid of being late. ”
He spent two days in Los Angeles, focusing mainly on Catherine's actions.
Catherine was quick enough that it only took her a day and a half to complete the interview with the person she wanted. Of course, she invited Franklin to come forward, and the interviewees were all immigrants from South America, and it was difficult to refuse the reporter's request for an interview after seeing Franklin's lovely green face.
Just as West Hollywood is preparing for big news. Link flew to Amalialo, Texas.
He spent the night in his villa at Holland Ranch.
The next morning, he was talking to Kempner and having breakfast when the morning news on television reported a story about Horton hiring a mortgage broker to borrow money to buy a house for subprime creditholders.
And the source of the news is none other than Catherine's Hollywood media.
What is a subprime credit person? Simply put, a person who is not able to repay the loan.
And what is a mortgage broker? It is a broker who specializes in helping people go through the procedures for obtaining loans from banks.
The point is that mortgage brokering is illegal. However, this type of brokerage does not require qualifications and does not require any certification. They just need to be able to connect with the bank. Banks are also willing to lend to these people in order to lend more money.
Kempner stared at the TV for a moment, then turned to Link and said, "Is the subprime mortgage crisis coming again?"
"Not really. But now it seems that the risks remain. ”
Subprime lenders are mainly new immigrants. They don't have enough money to pay their mortgage. It is also not possible to provide the required loan information. And at this time, the role of mortgage brokers can be reflected.
Mortgage brokers can help these newcomers to get a loan from a bank without having to submit enough information.
In this way, you may think that these individual agents are very awesome characters. But in fact, anyone can become a mortgage broker. The unemployed, the low-educated, and even criminals and gangsters on parole can become mortgage brokers.
Mortgage brokers collude with banks to apply for loans for people who have incomplete procedures. And the low down payment is enough to coax new immigrants to make those new immigrants excited. Whereas, a mortgage broker can receive a certain commission from the bank.
But what about those subprime mortgages who don't have the money to pay their debts?
