Chapter 814: Those who are fooled are all because of greed
"This is definitely the most amazing billiards I've ever played!" Yang Meng's voice came from the small player, and at this time, Yang Meng's shooting experience was being played.
On the screen, Yang Meng held a selfie stick in one hand and a billiard cue in the other and said: "I am now in the 'Ice and Snow City' Yakutsk, a city next to the Arctic Circle, where the lowest temperature in winter can reach minus 65 degrees, and the highest temperature in summer can reach close to 39 degrees! This absolute temperature difference can exceed 100 degrees, so I ask you if it is terrible? And when we come here now, it is definitely the coldest time here, but I am lucky, the temperature is 'only' minus 47 degrees! And what am I doing?" Speaking of this, he measured the selfie stick in his hand: "I'm playing billiards here!"
Yang Meng said while looking around the screen: "This is a large canvas tent built on the snow, which is used to block the wind. You see, how thick the snow is on the ground? But this place is actually a billiard room! You see, this billiard table is about the same size as a snooker table, but the billiards rules use the most common 'black eight' in the Han Kingdom. Then why do they use such a big table to play 'Black Eight'?"
Speaking of this, he pointed the camera at the table: "You see, this table is nailed up by themselves with wood, there is no clay tablecloth, and it is a table after it is poured with water and frozen. Have you ever seen a game of billiards on the ice? This guy is called Nikolaev Vasilyev. Don't look at people with Tsarist names, but pure Yakuts. This Yakuts have the face of this yellow race, and the name of the Tsarist Russians. This guy is known as the number one master of 'ice billiards' in this billiard room, and we are going to have a game now------ of course, there must be a bet: if I win, he will give me a piece of mammoth tusk, and if he wins, I will give him a bottle of two pots!"
Yang Meng pressed the pause button: "Little foreigner, look at me, right? Let me tell you, do you think that mammoths became extinct a long time ago? Let me tell you, in fact, the Egyptians have built the pyramids, and this mammoth is not extinct! This Yakutsk is also nicknamed 'Mammoth Country', this was originally a place where mammoths gathered, and this is a tundra, so the corpses are buried underneath and it is difficult to decay, and a lot of mammoth carcasses are found here that are still fresh, and if you want to resurrect mammoths, you have to rely on the mammoth carcasses found there. β
When he said this, he pressed the start button again, and Yang Meng on the screen held a mammoth tusk in his hand, holding a Yakut man and dancing: "I won! I won! Look! This is my mammoth tusk! I want to carve him into a beautiful object." To thank Nikolaev, this bottle of wine is his, and it is also a symbol of our friendship! Are you cheating on him because of me? Actually, no, what is Nikolaev's job? He is an 'ivory hunter'. The mammoth tusks were a little toy to him. β
"This was originally the hometown of mammoths, and there are a lot of well-preserved mammoth bones hidden in the frozen ground, and those mammoth ivory can be sold for a lot of money, you should note that many mammoth tusks found here are not fossils, but calcareous tusks, if you find a good quality mammoth ivory, it will be no problem to sell it for thousands of dollars or even up to 30,000 dollars. That's not a lot of money. So every year in the summer, when the land thaws, those 'ivory hunters' go out into the wilderness to look for mammoth tusks. For about five months, they would be in the wild, looking for mammoth tusks from the frozen ground. β
"There are such 'ivory hunters' from the Siberian Federal District to Sakha, but the 'ivory hunters' in Sakha are relatively happier than the 'ivory hunters' of the Siberian Federal District. Because it is illegal to dig up mammoth tusks at will, the Tsarist Coast Guard will catch them. The Siberian Federal District, on the other hand, is much stricter than Sakha. Quite simply------ next to them is the Krasnoyarsk Territory, which is part of the Siberian Federal District, where the Tsars are predominant, while the Sakha are predominantly Yakuts. Well, by the way, 90% of the ivory here is sold to the Han Kingdom. In fact, there are quite a few Han Chinese in Yakutsk, but it is quite difficult to find------ because the Yakuts here look really similar to us, and I spent a whole day here trying to find a translator. I had a Han flag on my motorcycle, and none of them thought I was from Han. β
The screen turned again, and Yang Meng's camera behind it was not the 'billiard room', but a person's home: "We are now in Nikolaev's house, and my bottle of Xiaoer also won his friendship, he took me to his house and let me see his baby, and his baby is this ------ bell bell crotch!"
On the screen, Yang Meng held a long horn more than one meter long: "Do you think this is an ivory or a cow's horn or something? Then let me tell you, this is a mistake! This is a rhino horn! This is a rhinoceros horn! This is a prehistoric rhinoceros horn, called 'woolly rhinoceros', at that time it was also the habitat of the woolly rhinoceros, its horn is not like the current rhinoceros horn is a cone, but an elliptical cone, well, when they were extinct, the Egyptians did not build a pyramid, but the cave people on the top of the mountain had already formed a clan commune at that time. By the way, this thing is a close relative of the Sumatran rhinoceros! Nikolaev told me that because of the short time and cold land, the woolly rhino horns here can often be found without fossilized rhino horns, but the price is super expensive! Just such a rhino can be sold for at least more than 10,000 US dollars! It is still sold to the Han country, after all, the rhino horn is extremely precious to the Han people. But it's not easy to bring this thing back. Mammoth ivory can be imported, but the woolly rhino horn is contraband. It's not ordinary people who can bring this thing back. Hey, but I can!"
"By the way, let me introduce you to this big brother who is my translator, his name is Dou Jian! Come, Dou Jian, say hello to my family! This is a man of God, he is a southerner, he has never seen snow before he was in his twenties, and then he came here with a construction company, and he stayed for several years. also married a local daughter-in-law. β
A man appeared on the screen to greet the screen, this person is in his thirties, his hair has fallen bald, he looks very thin, but he is very energetic: "I am not as deep as Mr. Yang said, just now Mr. Yang said that I came with a real estate company." These real estate companies finished pit domestic and foreign pits and later, and then let people drive me away, so I stayed. That's a good thing!"
Yang Meng coughed dryly twice, and explained to GoPro: "Here's the thing, there is a very big real estate company in China, a few years ago, it said that it had built a new type of building material, which is a kind of building board with modular construction, and said that the raw materials of the board are construction waste and engineering waste, known as 'bamboo instead of steel, wood instead of steel'." At that time, more than 20 cities in China had their so-called 'new material production bases'. β
"Let's not talk about whether this 'new material' will work or not, the capital chain of this real estate is generally quite tight, right? How do you get the money? The path people choose is to ------pull the banner!"
"The honors of the CEO of the real estate company are a large list, all of which are 'national level', even the kind that the national station has reported on him, and it is also one of the few real estate companies in China, and the kind that has been on the wealth list. However, the people came here and signed an agreement with the local government to build three communities, but after a year, the local government drove them out------ they have no experience in permafrost construction at all! The land here is permafrost, but the permafrost layer more than one meter thick above it becomes soft mud in the summer, how can the houses here be built? The wooden piles must be deeply rooted in the ground, and the houses are built on wooden piles more than one meter above the ground, otherwise the buildings will be destroyed when the land thaws in the summer! The water pipe should not be buried in the ground, otherwise it will freeze and crack directly, and a heating station should be built along the water pipe to keep it warm, and the standard of the house production is quite highγγγγγγ How can there be so much to do in the country? Build a house and sell it as long as it doesn't collapse. β
"But China doesn't know about it! It has become the propaganda capital of this real estate company, claiming that it has more than 60 billion orders in Tsarist Russia! This real estate company also has the capital to make quick money: even foreigners use our new materials. Then, all kinds of illegal fund-raising, saying that after four years of investing in our new building materials, the return will be 30 percent after four years! With this method, tens of billions of dollars have been circled! More than one million people have been fooled. Almost all of them are old peopleγγγγγγ Is there a problem with the victims themselves? Yes! Almost all the victims of financial scams are motivated by 'greed'! Everyone knows that pie in the sky will not fall but will be fooledγγγγγγ But considering that the victims are middle-aged and elderly, it is understandable. The times are abandoning those middle-aged and elderly people who can't access the Internet. A man's insight determines his wealth and status. A high-return scam like this, you want their interest, they also want your principal, right?"
"Let me tell you something even more terrifying: Just a few years ago, when the real estate company first launched this investment method, the media exposed the company's scam, and as a result, the company organized more than 60 people to go directly to the media office to 'liquidate' the media's 'false reports'! This incident caused a huge sensation in the media circle back then, but what was the result? People had nothing to do until the matter could no longer bear it. Regional protectionism kills people!"
