Introduction to "Orange County Fantasy House"
Mainland entrepreneur Lin Lan is seeking to diversify his assets and plans to develop overseas real estate in the United States. He meets Shen Zhou, who claims to be an Irvine real estate developer, in the Chinese real estate community. Shen Zhou understands people's hearts well and stays with him warmly day and night, launching an emotional offensive. At the same time, he launches a land development and rental apartment project in Orange County, promising stable and high returns. He forged land agreements and project plans, used a Ponzi scheme to pay dividends to early investors on time, and relied on Chinese circles to spread the word to create the illusion of guaranteed profits without loss.
Wrapped up by emotions and wealth expectations, Lin Lan first tested the waters with a small amount, and continued to invest more after seeing the profits, and even introduced friends to join the game. The lawyer repeatedly warned about the hidden risks of overseas land development, but she was regarded as conservative and worried. When the agreed dividends were not fulfilled, various excuses came one after another. A joint inspection by the investors finally revealed the cruel truth: the development plot only had expired letters of intent, the fundraising companies were all empty shells, and the so-called development project was purely fictitious.
The dream was shattered in an instant, many Chinese investors suffered huge losses, former acquaintances were suspicious of each other, and relationships were broken. Under the surface of the glamorous real estate market in Southern California, this cross-oceanic pig killing drive profoundly reflects the loneliness and greed of the dreamers, leaving endless sighs.
