Chapter 216 Fell
"If it's an issue of endorsement fees, we can add more." Mr. Li said eagerly looking at the girl in front of him.
When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Who made the champion in front of her so popular?
As long as he signs it, he will definitely make a lot of money.
"It's really not a matter of money." Lin Jingzhe said firmly.
Mr. Li finished the bitter cup of coffee, but he was still indifferent and offered her all the conditions. He really regarded money as dirt.
After saying all the nice things and talking till his lips were dry, what else could Mr. Li say? He put the check away and said, "Ms. Lin, if you lose the endorsement, please consider us. We are very sincere."
"Okay!" Lin Jingzhe responded readily.
Mr. Li put the check into his briefcase, stood up and said, "We won't bother you anymore."
"I'll take you there." Lin Jingzhe stood up and said, escorting Mr. Li and the others out of the hotel gate. He politely helped them to the car and watched the luxury car leave before turning around and returning to the hotel with Lawyer Luo.
"Jingzhe, you really don't want to accept it? The endorsement fee is very high." Lawyer Luo said to her with green eyes.
"I won't take it no matter how high it is." Lin Jingzhe said calmly as he walked into the elevator.
"Did you see the number on the check clearly?" Lawyer Luo asked curiously.
"No, I didn't look down." Lin Jingzhe tilted his head slightly and looked at him.
Lawyer Luo raised his hand and said, "This number!"
Lin Jingzhe blinked his amber pupils and said, "That's indeed a lot."
"It's 30% more." Lawyer Luo couldn't help but exclaim in surprise and rejected it without blinking.
It's really like throwing money at it, but it still can't be opened.
I can only say that they are quite clear-headed! I admire you! I admire you.
This is what they deserve. Athletes, especially top athletes, have achieved this through boring training day after day and year after year.
Lawyer Luo looked at her with a smile and said, "Do you want to tell Mr. Lin about this today?"
"Just say whatever you want to say." Lin Jingzhe looked at him casually with his amber pupils.
"Jingzhe, I'm telling you the truth." Lawyer Luo looked at her with his bright dark eyes.
"Speak!" Lin Jingzhe looked at him seriously with clear eyes.
"I'm not allowed to tell my family." Lawyer Luo looked at her with his dark eyes and said teasingly, "Does this count as tipping off or snitching?"
"You are reporting good news." Lin Jingzhe shook his head and laughed when he heard it.
"Then I will go back and tell Mr. Lin the good news immediately." Lawyer Luo said excitedly.
Seeing this, Lin Jingzhe smiled without saying anything. With a ding, the elevator door opened and the two of them got out.
"Actually, it's no problem to take on more than one," Lawyer Luo said regretfully. "You're very cooperative in the commercial, very perceptive in front of the camera, and you shoot very quickly. The director even praised you!"
"No!" Lin Jingzhe shook his head decisively. "We agreed on five, so that's five. We can't open any more."
"Mr. Li has already talked to your leader." Lawyer Luo reminded her not to go back and let her leader make things difficult for her, as it would not be worth it.
"Compared to power and money, leaders value their official hats more." Lin Jingzhe looked at him with deep brown eyes and said, "I'm irreplaceable right now." Then he added, "Once I'm replaced, my commercial value will be gone."
Okay! They know better than us. Lawyer Luo stood in front of her door and said, "We'll go shoot the commercial in half an hour."
"Okay!" Lin Jingzhe pushed the door open with the room card and walked in. "See you in half an hour."
"Yeah!" Lawyer Luo watched the door close and walked to the room diagonally opposite.

"It collapsed...it collapsed. Lehman Brothers collapsed." Lin Jingzhe received a call from Lin Xingzhi in the middle of the night. Lin Xingzhi on the phone was so excited that he could hardly speak clearly.
"It's collapsed!" Lin Jingzhe muttered, holding his phone. "The executives have all cashed out and left, leaving only an empty shell. Why keep it around?"
"I'm sorry for disturbing you." Lin Xingzhi said very apologetically.
"Nothing?" Lin Jingzhe groped in the dark and turned on the wall lamp beside the bed.
"This is the fourth-largest investment bank in the US," Lin Xingzhi said excitedly. "It collapsed just like that."
"Don't you see how the stocks have fallen into garbage?" Lin Jingzhe said with a snort.
"The market is bleak and plummeting." Lin Xingzhi said with a gloating look.
"You didn't predict it?" Lin Jingzhe exclaimed in surprise. "It's not like it just exploded on the first day. Since the Federal Reserve responded in August last year, injecting liquidity into the financial system to boost market confidence, the US stock market has been able to maintain its high level."
"Everyone is thinking that the American government will take action! With a little bit of luck in their hearts." Lin Xingzhi leaned back on the back of the boss's chair.
"The people's grievances need an outlet!" Lin Jingzhe said with raised eyebrows.
"Ordinary people are greedy, especially loan brokers," Lin Xingzhi lamented. "Refinancing is essentially borrowing at high interest rates, using leverage to bet on rising housing prices, and everyone's participating." He took a deep breath and said, "When the subprime mortgage crisis hit, it was like gamblers. After losing everything, they said they didn't gamble, but were deceived. Borrowers claimed they were deceived into refinancing, and when the situation turned against them, they walked away clean. And the most hated group during the entire subprime mortgage crisis was the investment banks."
"So if the investment bank doesn't take the blame, who will? Public opinion won't criticize an unknown person." Lin Jingzhe said with a picturesque look in his eyes.
"If Lehman doesn't die, who will?" Lin Xingzhi's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley turned to the Federal Reserve and became bank holding companies. Merrill Lynch, the third-largest bank, and Bear Stearns, the fifth-largest, were sold at bargain prices to the long-coveted Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase. They also indirectly became part of the Federal Reserve's fold."
"The Federal Reserve isn't owned by the Americans," Lin Jingzhe said with a raised eyebrow. "It's a private bank."
"This is the most ridiculous thing," Lin Xingzhi exclaimed in amazement. "This is the right to coin money!" He took a deep breath and said, "The Federal Reserve should belong to the country."
"Think about the Ming Dynasty!" Lin Jingzhe said with a faint light flashing in his amber eyes.
"This is too evil." Lin Xingzhi shuddered.
Lin Jingzhe said with a deep gaze, "It's said that national credit supports currency issuance, but the issuance of US dollars is in the hands of private bankers. This country has a fundamental design flaw." He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "This is a structural problem." He snorted coldly, "It's worthy of private ownership!"
"The separation of powers sounds nice, and it means mutual oversight. But looking at Ming history, it's nothing more than factional strife! Imperial power, the eunuch clique, and the civil service clique. In the end, it all boils over." Lin Jingzhe said with a cold gaze, "When the benefits are sufficient, everyone benefits. But when the benefits are scarce, you can't help but see them fight tooth and nail."
