Rebirth of a Movie Star

Chapter 58 - Nomination

Although Kang Jian was naive from the beginning, it wasn't as though he didn't have any suspicions at all about this seemingly perfect investment opportunity.

However that night at the club Xiao Chen seemed to have a wide network. Almost all the bosses present greeted him and seemed to know him familiarly, and this made Kang Jian believe him already 20%. After that, Kang Jian made enquiries about Xiao Chen with Brother Dong and confirmed the two of them knew each other. Although Brother Dong said he wasn't very clear about XIao Chen's business, however Brother Dong said Xiao Chen was pretty good at borrowing and then repaying money. He wasn't the kind of client that was struggling with debt. This made Kang Jian believe him 30%.

After that, Kang Jian tested the temperature first and picked the smallest investment available at the real estate company which was 2 million. After two weeks, just as the company promised, he earned about 60,000 yuan of profit. It went into his account, not even a cent was missing. Kang Jian's heart immediately heated up.

Following that he put in 3 million, 5 million. All of the smaller investments were tested by Kang Jian. As he saw the profits flow unceasingly into his account, Kang Jian's heart became more and more secure and he also trusted the company more and more.

All the way until Kang Jian finally made up his mind to put in a big amount. At this time it was unknown whether or not the company was too experienced with this type of greedy person or not, but they were very good at seizing the correct timing. Just at this time they threw out a very large-scale and extremely profitable big project. This was precisely the renovation of the old buildings in an elite area that Xiao Chen had talked to Kang Jian about before.

This time the real estate company provided a benefit which was the more you invested, the higher your return percentage would be. For anyone who invested over 30 million, they could get back over 30%. However if you invested over 50 million, then your return was over 50%. And the profit would be distributed over 12 months, every month you would receive a fixed amount into your account.

Such a high rate of profit. That meant that one year later, 30 million would turn into almost 40 million. Then if you invested the 40 million again, the second year it would turn into almost 55 million. The entire project would take about three years to complete. After the third year when the old buildings were completely renovated, their market value would approximately increase tenfold. It would be more than enough to support the earnings of these investments, they wouldn't have any problems paying out.

When Kang Jian who already trusted the real estate company 90%, heard about this heart naturally beat in excitement. As for the 10% remaining, when he saw Xiao Chen also took out several tens of millions to investment, he didn't have any hesitation left. He directly jumped over the 30 million option and went for the 50 million. This way he could earn the highest amount of interest. After two years ago, the value would be almost doubled and there will be nearly 100 million in his account book!

In order to achieve this beautiful future, Kang Jian who only had some 20 million or so on hand went around everywhere borrowing money. But if he wanted to use savings of 20 million to borrow another 20 million or more, than actually it was impossible by legitimate means. After all these were savings and not tangible assets.

However if legitimate means weren't possible, then there was also illegitimate means. The first person Kang Jian thought of was Brother Dong. However Brother Dong actually went overseas on holidays at this crucial time. Thus Kang Jian asked Xiao Chen to help him, and Xiao Chen introduced him to a private money lender. Although the interest was very high, however compared to the earnings from the investment, it wasn't anything.

Thus Kang Jian got his hands on 50 million. After he transferred the money to the real estate company happily, Qiu Qian received notice. He immediately made a few calls and instructed his people to "flip the cards". "Flipping the cards" meant anonymously reporting the illegal activities of the real estate company to the authorities.
