Lin Dan said that Bai Pengfei would sell the copyright in a few days, but she really guessed the truth.
Looking at the script that fell into her hands, Bai Zhilan said like a dream, "Mom, what's going on? Bai Pengfei loves Bai Zhu so much, how could he be willing to sell the only chance to make Bai Zhu make a comeback?"
"He can't get up by himself, how can he take care of Bai Zhu?" Lin Dan opened his phone and chuckled, "Have you not been paying attention to the financial news these days?"
"I saw it. In recent days, the biggest financial news has been about the Nie family. What does it have to do with the Bai family?"
"The relationship is too big. At first, someone broke the news that Mr. Nie was about to die, the Nie family was in debt crisis, and Nie Rong had frequent conflicts with major shareholders, which made the company's various departments unable to operate normally. These negative news were intensively reported in the media. , causing panic among shareholders, it should be someone who deliberately shorted Nie's stock price, preparing to make a big profit."
"But at a critical juncture, Mr. Nie appeared in the United States and played golf with Wall Street's financial giant Rawls in the sun. He was in very good spirits, and held a press conference to announce the cooperation with the Rolls Group. These good news are one If it is released, Nie's stock will rise instead of falling, and those who short Nie's stock will lose everything. If I guess correctly, Bai Pengfei should have also participated in this matter. He is too greedy, as long as he smells the slightest The smell of blood will pounce on him like a wild dog, I told him that Mr. Nie was seriously ill, and he didn't do anything for no reason." Lin Dan read the financial news while drinking tea, his expression was light, as if he was in Talk about other people.
Bai Zhilan was stunned for a while before she blushed and said, "What does shorting stocks mean?"
Lin Dan laughed dumbly, and then explained: "Shoring refers to predicting that a company's stock will fall in the future, so he buys the stock on credit from a securities firm, sells it at the current price, and buys it after the market falls to get the spread. profit."
Bai Zhilan scratched the tip of her nose and said, "I still don't understand."
Lin Dan sighed and explained further: "For example, I expected Nie's chaebol's stock to plummet, so I borrowed 100 shares from a securities company to sell when Nie's stock price was still 10 yuan a share. The cost here is 1,000. Then when the stock drops to 5 yuan per share, I will buy 100 shares and return them to the securities company. The cost here is 500. I will make a difference of 500 when I buy and sell it. This is called shorting. The premise of shorting is that you must Knowing for sure that the stock price of Nie's chaebol will fall sharply. If the stock price does not fall but rises, then you must buy 100 shares at a higher price and return them to the securities company. At this time, you will not only make no money, but also lose money. If you use margin leverage, you can buy several stocks with one share of money, and if you lose too much, you will go bankrupt.”
Bai Zhilan digested it for a while before she said in horror: "Mom, you mean that Bai Pengfei was going to short Nie's stock price, but it failed. He now owes a lot of money to the securities company?"
"Let's see how greedy he is. If he is too greedy, he is going to eat Nie Shi in one bite. I suspect that he should be on the verge of bankruptcy now." Lin Dan's words just finished, the news page was refreshed, and a line of blood-red characters appeared. In the headline on the front page - [The Bai family declares bankruptcy, and the former business tycoon Bai Pengfei may be imprisoned!]
Bai Zhilan's eyes widened, and she said in disbelief, "Bai Pengfei went bankrupt? Just because he called me that day?"
Lin Dan said slowly, "He doesn't even care if you live or die, so how could he take the initiative to care about you? He called you more than a dozen times that day and asked you about Old Nie's purpose and physical condition. Until he will do it. Why did he create a foundation at a young age? Because he is greedy enough and not broken enough, mercenary is the key to his success, but it can also kill him at a critical moment. The weakness of human nature It's the best tool to use, so don't be afraid of the bad guys, because it's actually very easy to destroy them."
Bai Zhilan stared at the headlines of the financial page and was speechless for a long time. She thought that Bai Pengfei was invincible, but it turned out that he was so vulnerable in the eyes of his mother. The mother didn't even have to do anything deliberately, just pushed him lightly, and he fell into the abyss of doom.
She didn't know whether to hate him more or pity him more, but in any case, he did it by himself, no one could blame him.
"Mom, what will happen to him in the future?" Bai Zhilan asked in a hoarse voice.
"Probably go to jail. After all, he embezzled the company's public funds. Don't think about him, think about your script. I invested 200 million. If you don't make it well, all the money will be wasted." Lin Dan chuckled lightly.
Bai Zhilan quickly picked up the script and studied it carefully, and no longer dared to think wildly.
Xiaoguo left the living room lightly, and took a deep breath when she walked outside the hospital. She thought happily: With Aunt Lin here, isn't Sister Zhilan afraid of being popular? I really want to know how beautiful Sister Zhilan will be in a few years.
…
Six years later, at the Bird's Nest Stadium, Angelica was standing on the brightly lit stage wearing a long white dress. She lifted up her huge and fluffy skirt and chuckled, "Is my skirt beautiful?"
The audience under the stage shouted loudly: "Beautiful!!"
"This is made by my mother. It looks very light and thin, but it is actually filled with goose down. Yes, this is a down dress. My mother is afraid that I will be cold, so she insists that I wear it." Bai Zhilan chuckled into the microphone.
The fans who were blowing the cold wind in the audience gave good boos, and some people shouted: "Lanlan I love you, if you give me your mother, I will love you even more!"
Bai Zhilan raised a forefinger, shook it from side to side, and smiled sweetly: "I can give you anything, but I can't promise this. A child with a mother is a treasure, and people want to be a baby."
The audience under the stage laughed madly, jokingly teasing: "People in their twenties, don't pretend to be tender, okay?"
"Okay okay, you will always be our baby!"
Bai Zhilan bent down deeply to pay tribute to the fans. The audience is full of people, the lights are shining, like the Milky Way pouring down the stars. This is her honor and her home. She looked at the VIP seats in the first row, and several familiar faces immediately appeared on the big screen.
Lin Dan sat beside An Lang, with a men's suit jacket draped over his shoulders. The two of them looked at the camera and smiled, very tacit understanding. An Zishi held a light stick in one hand and a homemade lamp sign in the other with the words "Little Ancestor" written on it.
An Chongying had an orchid sticker on her face, looking very excited. Her husband was riding a five-year-old mixed-race boy around his neck, staring straight at Bai Zhilan with big bright eyes, and kept shouting: "Auntie" , Auntie!"
Qi Guyu, Nie Rong, and Mr. Nie, who was over eighty years old, were sitting in the VIP seats, all holding light signs and glow sticks.
This group of relatives and friends is so luxurious that it aroused the screams of fans, "Lan Lan, your success is not based on your strength, but your background. You are a girl with a good life, do you know? National father, national mother, national male God and the national husband are all your relatives and friends, what do you want? Do you want to go to heaven?"
Bai Zhilan chuckled and nodded: "Yes, you are right, I am lucky, and the luckiest thing is to have a good mother. The following song is called "Break Free", I hope all depressed patients in the world can Get out of despair and get back to health. I dedicate this song to myself and to my beloved mom."
The music sounded slowly. It was peaceful at first, and became more and more agitated at the back. Bai Zhilan spanned three octaves and sang through the sky: "... toward the sky, toward the sun, toward the top of the mountain to grow desperately! Break free, break free from darkness and despair, you are Gaia, you are where the sun, moon and stars fall!"
In her heart, mother is her Gaia, the hands that will always catch her.
…
The concert was an unprecedented success. The venue, which can accommodate 80,000 people, was full, and everyone was cheering and screaming for Bai Zhilan. Over the years, she has climbed to the top step by step, winning the love of the public with her extraordinary singing skills and superb acting skills. She has won three actress awards in succession, and her achievements in music are countless. She is the most influential female artist in China.
Her family background is simply a legend. Although she is a stepdaughter, she is spoiled by An Lang. An Zishi also doted on her a lot, and for this reason, he was nicknamed "Crazy Girl".
After the concert, Bai Zhilan returned to the dressing room with sweat all over her body, panting and complaining: "I said it's not cold, but my mother insisted on helping me make this long down skirt, which almost killed me."
"This skirt looks fluffy, but it's actually very light, and it stretches your waist very thin. At first glance, I was amazed by you. If Aunt Lin would make a dress for me herself, I would laugh in my dreams. Wake up! You are really in the midst of happiness and do not know happiness." Xiaoguo rolled her eyes.
Bai Zhilan laughed and said: "Who said that I don't know happiness when I live in happiness, I cherish happiness the most! The gift I bought for my mother, don't lose it!"
"It's not lost, it's here." Xiaoguo was about to unpack her bag when a beautiful woman walked in in a panic, and hurriedly said: "Zhilan, after all these years, have you lost your temper? I have a way to survive! My father is in jail, my mother is sick and has no money to be hospitalized, and I need to work!"
"You are... Bai Zhu?" Bai Zhilan looked at this strange woman in astonishment.
"It's me, I've changed my name now, and I've had plastic surgery. I'm no longer Bai Zhu, so just relax and tell the crew to stop targeting me? I've already owed three months' rent, and I can't pay it any more. , my mother and I have no place to live. I beg you, Zhilan, can I beg you! I know wrong, I deliberately didn't ask my father for mercy back then, because I was jealous that you were better than me, and I didn't want to. Let you study abroad. I know that your clothes and shoes are not suitable for you, but in order to show my superiority, I did not buy new ones for you. I really regret it now. If I can do it all over again, I will definitely treat you very much. Very good, we are sisters!" Bai Zhu burst into tears.
Bai Zhilan slowly exhaled. She had long guessed that Bai Zhu was doing it on purpose. If she really cared about herself, she would not turn a blind eye to her embarrassment. Goodbye now, she no longer hates these people, so she waved her hand and said, "Go away, I didn't make anyone embarrass you, there must be another reason for you to be targeted by the crew. It's none of my business how you want to climb in the future. You take care."
Bai Zhu walked away in a daze, and Bai Zhilan stared at her emaciated back, feeling like she was in a dream. Does this wonderful life really belong to me? As soon as a similar panic rose in her heart, she saw her mother walking step by step, her eyes soft and firm, and all the panic disappeared...
She stepped forward and hugged the man who had given her happiness and peace.
