Chapter 64: Small Money and Big Money
The layout of the building where Zhou Ming is located is somewhat similar to the house built by himself in the countryside in later generations, except that the area is a little smaller, and each floor has a room and a toilet, which are connected up and down by a staircase.

Zhou Ming walked down the stairs, and saw a hyena standing in the room on the second floor with a rich man, the other desert team members were not here, according to the habit of going out on missions, they all went to familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment, so as to ensure a way out in case of emergencies. Now only the captain Liu Qiangguo is here, but Zhou Ming believes that as long as something happens here, they will definitely rush back as soon as possible.
As for the person brought by the hyena, he is chubby, wearing a colorful T-shirt and a pair of jeans, the most striking thing is that he also has a very thick gold chain on his chest, and he also wears gemstone rings on each of his five fingers, which are colorful, exactly the same as the classic shapes of the rich people who made a windfall in Zhou Ming's film and television works.
According to the hyena's previous introduction, he is the richest and most capable person in Moria, not only most of Moria's houses are his, most of Moria's people are working for him, and he can find a way to buy anything that can be bought in Mexico City but is extremely lacking in Moria, including some medicines that are extremely lacking in Mexico City.
Regarding the hyena's introduction to Miguel, Zhou Ming's first reaction was that this guy was not the agent of the capitalists in Mexico City who put him in Moria? But for hyenas and those who don't know how to do it, Miguel is a very powerful person.
Seeing Zhou Ming walking down, Miguel immediately showed a smile and said earnestly: "Hello Mr. Zhou Ming, you are very welcome to come to Moria, I am the landlord Miguel here, this house is already the best house that Moria can find now, although he can't be compared with your noble status, but please believe that he is definitely worth the money here, I will definitely not charge you five dollars a month!"
Looking at Miguel's value-for-money expression, Zhou Ming also felt helpless, because let alone five dollars, it was fifty-five hundred dollars or even fifty thousand dollars a month's rent, Zhou Ming didn't care, after all, these were small money!
"I am very convinced of this, and I still have no doubts about this house, and the reason why I asked you to come here, Mr. Miguel, is that I have something else to discuss with you. ”
Zhou Ming said to him directly: "A friend of mine was injured because of some things, so I urgently need some anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics and other medicines, but I know that Moria is very backward here, and these medicines are not available, but Mr. Miguel, you have a way to buy them, right?"
"Of course you can!" Miguel replied in the affirmative, and then changed his words and said, "It's just that Mr. Zhou Ming, I think you also know the scarcity of these medicines, even in Mexico City, there are very few, I need to buy them through my own special channels, so the cost will be slightly higher, and I am not so rich, I still need you to pay some deposit first, do you think you can accept this kind of transaction?"
Zhou Ming nodded without hesitation: "Of course there is no problem, as long as Mr. Miguel can buy the medicine, money is not a problem!"
Zhou Ming's answer made Miguel overjoyed: "Mr. Zhou Ming is really not an ordinary person, in fact, I heard yesterday that the hyena was going to rent such a house to a big man, and I knew that this must be very unusual!"
Although Zhou Ming could see his false compliments at a glance, Zhou Ming did not debunk it, but just thanked him without embarrassment, and then said to him: "But Mr. Miguel, my identity is probably not as simple as you imagined, so for your safety, I hope you can keep it a secret for me and don't reveal my affairs to anyone." ”
Miguel patted his chest and assured Zhou Ming: "You can rest assured about this, sir! The people who live in Moria are invisible to the Mexican government, no matter what you have done, no matter how many wanted warrants you have on your back, even if you start a world war, as long as you get here, you will disappear from this world, and no one will be able to find you anymore!"
Zhou Ming smiled and thanked him, and then Zhou Ming took out a hundred dollars and handed it to him and said to him: "I don't know how much those medicines cost, but I think the deposit of this hundred dollars should be enough, right?"
Seeing the money that Zhou Ming took out, Miguel's eyes suddenly widened like Grande, he took the hundred dollars, and said to Zhou Ming with a smile: "This must be enough, not only now, if there is anything else for me to do in the future, I will definitely do the best for you, sir! ”
After saying that, Miguel left the room, and then the hyena told Zhou Ming: "Sir, you give too much, usually you give twenty or thirty dollars is enough, you give so much now, that guy will definitely quote a higher price after he gets the medicine." ”
Zhou Ming didn't answer this directly, but asked him indifferently: "If you have a million dollars in your hand now, and you have something that you have to buy, do you care if you spend a dollar or two dollars to buy it?"
Zhou Ming's analogy made the hyena speechless, indeed compared to a million, a dollar is insignificant, the hyena understands this truth very well, this is like they just got paid to go to the bar after a mission can be very arrogant to spend a lot of money, because there is too much money in their hands, they don't care at all! Even they have tens of thousands of dollars in their hands, and Zhou Ming has a million dollars even more so.
"Besides, if I give him more money, it will also make him remember me more, and he won't tell me my identity everywhere, after all, from my personal point of view, I can't trust him. Zhou Ming told the hyena, "So how well do you know him?"
Faced with Zhou Ming's question, the hyena thought carefully for a while before saying: "Since the time they were born here, the Miguel family has been here, and their reputation is also the best in Moria, I heard that they seem to be the chief family of the Indians, and Moria is their fief. ”
"Indians?" Zhou Ming was a little surprised by this question, because according to Zhou Ming's thoughts, the Indians were killed as early as those hundreds of years of colonization in the Americas, how can there still be Indians today?
"Of course the Indians still exist, and in fact there are more than 10 million Indians still alive in Mexico, but these Indians are having a bad time. "Most of these Indians are farmers, and because the buyers are constantly lowering the price of corn, these Indians will soon be unable to survive." ”
Listening to the hyena's introduction to these Indians, Zhou Ming was amazed, to be honest, Zhou Ming couldn't imagine that there were more than 10 million Indians living here in Mexico, but these people didn't know how much to do with the famous Mayan civilization and Aztec civilization in the Americas.
Now Zhou Ming just felt a simple curiosity about the Indians, and he didn't expect at this time that it was these Indians who gave him the impression that were still in the history books, and they actually became the engine for him to turn the whole situation around.
"But even so, the damned Mexican government and the unconscionable grain merchants don't seem to be willing to let go of these poor Indians, who heard that Mexico is signing a new trade agreement with the United States to bring in cheaper corn from the United States, so that the Indians' corn will not be able to be sold, and this is to exterminate them......"
The hyena was still chattering there, and Zhou Ming had to interrupt him and ask him: "Brother hyena, I heard you so indignant about the Indians, are you also an Indian?"
The hyena was stunned for a moment, and replied with some embarrassment: "That's not it, it's just that I grew up with these Indians when I was a child, and hunted in the rainforest together, so I can also be regarded as a supernumerary member of the Indian group, and I feel like a family to them." ”
"I see, but the real thing to help them is not to nag the bastards of the Mexican government and the capitalists here, but to really find a way to help them get out of poverty, after all, money is earned by action, and you can't make money with just one mouth. Zhou Ming said.
Under Zhou Ming's words, the hyena looked even more embarrassed, he scratched his head and said: "Sir, I understand what you say, but if you want me to go hunting and fighting, I know what to do, but when it comes to making money, I really don't understand! I heard that in the exchange, no matter whether the price of anything rises or falls, you can make money, but why is it okay to fall? Just like the Indians' corn, isn't it that the price is getting lower and lower, and the profit is getting less and less?"
"The ups and downs of the financial markets are not the same as the ups and downs of your concept, like the corn of the Indians. ”
Zhou Ming gave an example to the hyena: "For example, the current price of corn is eighty dollars a ton, I originally had 10,000 tons of corn in my hand, and I am now selling it at seventy-nine dollars a ton, I do this It looks like I lose one dollar for every ton of corn I sell, but because I have depressed the price of corn, it will make other people doubt the future market of corn, and then sell their corn at a lower price." ”
Zhou Ming crossed his fingers and calculated for the hyena and said: "When the price of corn is reduced to seventy dollars or even sixty dollars a ton because of other people's selling, I will buy 10,000 tons of corn at this price and come back, so that the amount of corn in my hand has not changed, but the money in my hand has increased, isn't this extra money earned by me?"
Faced with the example given by Zhou Ming, the hyena was dumbfounded, and he muttered: "My lord, can this transaction still be carried out like this? Is it true that those Western businessmen exploited the peasants in this way? No wonder Mr. Zhou Ming, you said that all you gave to Miguel was a small amount of money, and the financial transactions between you and those merchants were such a large amount?"
"This is only the most basic routine of financial market trading, the actual situation is far more complicated than I said, I will tell you again, as for the financial market, there is no small money and big money, only the difference between success and failure of speculation, then you go from a destitute beggar to a millionaire, maybe it only takes one day. ”
Zhou Ming said to the hyena with a smile, and at this moment, they suddenly heard a noisy noise from downstairs.
