Chapter 169: The Miserable Contest

172. Comparison of misery

During this financial crisis, the entertainment industries in Southeast Asia, Korea, Silla, and Japan are even more miserable, but at least trainees can still get food and accommodation.

Newcomers can barely survive, but the old ones are miserable. Many stars who have retired for many years have come back to make money. They are also short of money under the financial crisis.

In Japan, several retired female Ys have returned to the adult entertainment industry. This news was told to Tang Wen by Wang Ergou.

"Old Tang, did you know that Shiina is back in the adult entertainment industry? By the way, I heard that there is a girl named Mikami Yu from the 48 girl group who is also going to the adult entertainment industry?" Wang Ergou secretly called Tang Wen while Qian Jia was out shopping.

"What the hell? The AK48 girl group is going to the adult entertainment industry? Why didn't I know about it?" Tang Wen asked in confusion.

Wang Ergou: "Oh my god, she is a girl born in 1993. It is said that she wants to go to the adult entertainment industry due to the economic downturn. I heard that many people are waiting for her."

Tang Wen: "Oh my god, is the information accurate?"

"It must be accurate." Wang Ergou said in a tone of "If you don't believe me, it's your loss."

With doubts, Tang Wen curiously opened the search engine.

"Are you really planning to go to the adult entertainment industry? Yua Mikami? The one who was with the senior at the age of 15? So awesome." Tang Wen looked at the information on the computer and had to admit that the girls in Japan are really pretty.

It is not easy for Japanese girls to get along with each other now. With the financial crisis in Japan, many new girls have gone to the adult entertainment industry one after another. Some famous girls were instantly overwhelmed by the new girls.

"Oh my god, is this my fault?" Tang Wen muttered in his heart and continued to look through the computer.

After a while, Tang Wen found a strange message. There are many people in Japan who are willing to go to the adult entertainment industry to make money, but the key is that no one is willing to pay for it.

Tang Wen shamelessly called Jesse and asked him, only then did he understand that the society responsible for Neon Country's gray interests was not having a good time.

A large number of people had overdue loans or owed money. The Yama-Daoguchi Group and the Kawashima Group were busy collecting loans and debt collection all day long. How could they have time to pay for filming?

You know, making a movie also costs money. But their money was either lost in this financial crisis or loaned to private individuals. Where would they get the money?

However, what Tang Wen did not expect was that Neon Country's pinball parlor business was booming. Many unemployed and frustrated people went to the pinball parlor to seek comfort. What Neon Country's society did not expect was that this thing was currently making huge profits.

So there are a lot of people willing to go into the sea now, but no one is willing to pay for filming. Everyone's money went to open a pinball parlor.

You know, now in Neon Country, a pinball parlor that can accommodate 100 people can earn a full 200,000 Chinese yuan a day, which is no different from robbing money.

So all the clubs started to open new pinball rooms, which led to a shortage of funds for filming. For a time, pinball rooms in Japan began to develop rapidly.

Tang Wen thought darkly: "Should I pay some money to make a film?"

Tang Wen was still very moral about this. He believed in saving people from danger and decided to go to Japan to find a bunch of female Y to make films after going to South Korea. Poverty alleviation should at least be in line with international standards.

So Tang Wen asked Jesse to buy a production company in Tokyo, Japan, and began to sign female Y everywhere. Of course, it doesn't matter if they are ugly or not, Tang Wen wants the best ones.

Anyway, it only takes 5,000-10,000 Chinese yuan a month to support one person. Now the male unemployment rate in Japan is as high as 45%. Even men who have always had "privileges" are unemployed, not to mention women in the "vulnerable group".

So on the first day of the KT production that Jesse bought for Tang Wen, he received more than 300 applications for female Y. Jesse was too lazy to bother with such a small matter and directly arranged a few geishas to be responsible for the selection.

With the economic depression in Japan, geishas were also poor and could not even make ends meet. Suddenly there was such a good thing, so they naturally worked very hard. Jesse originally planned to recruit only 10 geishas.

Unexpectedly, more than 200 people came for the interview, and many of them came from small places. Only then did Tang Wen know the terrible effect of the financial crisis.

However, since he was making money from them anyway, Tang Wen would not be stingy.

When Tang Wen was thinking about the subject of his company's first movie with great anticipation, Liu Changcan, the idiot, also called.

"Old Tang, I heard from Wang Bingbing that you want to buy a girl group to make a movie, right?"

Tang Wen: "... When did you say you want to buy a girl group to make a movie?"

"Wang Ergou said that, so do you think I'm a good match?"

"You? What do you mean?" Tang Wen was very confused.

Liu Changcan said with a look of disappointment: "The male lead."

"Puff"

"Brother Can, aren't you afraid that your old man will kill you with a knife?"

"What are you afraid of? It's romantic to die under the peony flowers. Hey, hey, hey, dad, I was wrong, I was wrong." Suddenly, Liu Changcan's pig-killing scream came from the other end of the phone. It is estimated that this guy will be miserable.

Tang Wen mourned for him for three minutes, but in fact, he listened to three minutes of Sanda before he hung up the phone reluctantly.

In the Maoyu change of ownership incident, the worst victims were those brainless artists. They thought this was a good opportunity to sell favors, but they didn't expect it to be the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Now Lao Ma has been disgraced, and the artists in the entertainment industry who have had dealings with him have begun to draw a clear line. But now it seems a little late.

As a large number of artists were exposed to participate in false propaganda, the entertainment industry began to compare their misery.

Take Fan Shui as an example. She was exposed to have evaded taxes up to 800 million yuan, and there were also many yin-yang contracts involved. The funniest thing is that she took away a sky-high salary of 50 million yuan for a play that lasted less than two minutes.

In this time and space, China originally had strict regulations on the remuneration of artists. High remuneration is accompanied by high taxes, which is also to take from the people and use it for the people.

I didn't expect Fan Shui to dare to evade taxes and create yin-yang contracts. So all of Fan Shui's bank accounts were frozen, and people from the tax company department began to investigate her own company and economic company.

When Tang Wen saw this news on the Internet, he was also a little shocked. In this time and space, there are still artists who dare to play this game? You know, tax evasion in this time and space is a very serious matter.

There was a very popular artist in the Kyoto circle in the 1970s, who was sentenced to three years in prison for tax evasion. She was once a popular actress and suddenly became a street rat that everyone wanted to beat.

Even now in 2012, no one dares to broadcast her previous works on TV. Unlike America, China in this time and space attaches great importance to this.

Even when Tang Wen founded WF Group, he used an offshore company, but he paid all the taxes he should pay. But he didn't expect that there would be artists who dared to do this?

For a time, everyone in the entertainment industry was in danger. The Kyoto Taxation Bureau issued an order to start a strict investigation of tax evasion in the entertainment industry. Those who had committed petty theft in the entertainment industry began to be worried.

Everyone knew about the Yin-Yang contract, but now when they started to calculate the total account, they finally panicked. So the artists who had done this began to sell their belongings and start paying taxes.

This situation is particularly obvious among the young actresses who have emerged recently. They just became famous and had no resistance to this, so under the instigation of "interested people", many of them also made yin-yang contracts.

But now they are miserable. They have to spit out as much as they ate before. On the contrary, some old actors are calm in the face of danger. They are not afraid of shadows.

The members of the Thirteenth Aunt Girlfriend Group and the MT Girlfriend Group in the entire entertainment industry are sitting on the Diaoyutai. Tax evasion for them? Just kidding, do they need to do this with their small treasury?

Their main expenses are still arranged by the leaders of the two major girlfriends groups. Zhang Siqing, Zhilin, Ma Piaoliang and Xiaolu will be short of money? Just kidding, they will have enough money after playing landlords with Tang Wen a few times and getting their hair done a few times.

Who would care about that little money, so they are the "alternative" in the entertainment industry who continue to show off their wealth in a high-profile manner. For a time, only the MT Girlfriend Group and the Thirteenth Aunt Girlfriend Group in the entire entertainment industry showed off their wealth online.

Such a situation made the majority of netizens who eat melons stunned.

Many artists with ulterior motives began to find ways to join the two girlfriends groups. They are not fools. In this environment, only by sticking together can they survive.

However, the MT girlfriends group and the Thirteenth Aunt girlfriends group have become more picky in selecting members. Tang Wen gave each of the two girlfriends a membership fee of 500 million yuan for them to squander, so the standard will naturally be raised.

Is 1 billion Chinese yuan a lot? It is less than 200 million US dollars in equivalent. Tang Wen now earns more than this in a day in the three financial institutions.

Among Tang Wen’s three financial institutions, the Magic City Financial Company has the smallest profit. It can also earn more than 100 million US dollars a day in this financial crisis. Jesse and Chang Kang’s daily income is more than 1 billion.

In order to seize this wave of market, they are frantically poaching people from major financial institutions. Especially Jesse, who is in charge of gold futures, is almost poaching all the crazy people on Wall Street.

With the support of Tang Wen’s strong gold reserves, the gold futures he controls now can be as high as 150-200 billion US dollars if all are cashed out.

Chang Kang is responsible for shorting foreign exchange, and the funds are as much as 80 billion US dollars, which does not include the tens of billions of US dollars in Tang Wen's small treasury. The current WF Group is also a small crocodile.

Although it cannot be compared with the trillion-dollar conglomerates, it is still no problem to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. Compared with large conglomerates, Tang Wen only lacks time.

Growing slowly, staying stable and not reckless is Tang Wen's current development goal. To become a large conglomerate, it is not enough to have a large amount of cash, and there must be corresponding industries to cooperate with development.

This is why Tang Wen is seizing the time to build a base in Africa. After the security there is almost complete, Tang Wen's butcher knife can move towards the real industry.
