The diagonals of a convex quadrilateral $ABCD$ intersect in $E$. Let $S_1, S_2, S_3$ and $S_4$ the areas of the triangles $AEB, BEC, CED, DEA$ respectively. Prove that, if exists real numbers $w, x, y$ and $z$ such that $$S_1=x+y+xy, S_2=y+z+yz, S_3=w+z+wz, S_4=w+x+wx,$$ then $E$ is the midpoint of $AC$ or $E$ is the midpoint of $BD$.
