Chapter 8 Deception
Because in the future world, all kinds of pyramid schemes will emerge one after another.
As a person who eats on the news, Zhuo Qun has long been aware of the commonalities of such scams from relevant reports.
So the story he made up for everyone is very satisfying.
Here's how the plot goes.
Zhuo Qun claimed that he had a relative who had graduated from the "Finance Academy" and had borrowed 600 yuan from his family last year for the assignment to stay in Beijing.
Later, the relative went to a research institute of a Swiss bank in Beijing.
Recently, the research institute launched a financial index analysis investment fund with a scale of 200,000 yuan.
Not for profit, but only to provide some experimental reference data for some of the bank's upcoming official operations in the republic.
Unfortunately, this fund is too small and an experimental short-term project.
Despite the benefits of capital preservation, 10% interest returns, the bank is unable to recommend it to regular customers.
Therefore, after research, the bank decided to set up a bursary fund, with the participation of students studying in colleges and universities.
In order to collect data at the same time, it can also provide some financial help to the college student community.
Therefore, Zhuo Qun, a relative, learned about this project.
took the 600 yuan that he originally planned to return to Zhuo Qun's family, and took it upon himself to help Zhuo Qun invest it.
Because he was afraid that Zhuo Qun would have no bottom in his heart, he didn't tell him until almost a month.
Sure enough, when Zhuo Qun learned about this, he beat the drum in his heart, for fear that this matter would not be scored, and he was in a mood for several days.
But what he didn't expect was that the investment time was a full month.
The relatives actually called him and really gave him one hundred and twenty yuan.
That's why he will have the money to invite everyone to dinner today.
But how can it be one hundred and two?
It's supposed to be sixty.
Zhuo Qun inquired with his relatives again.
Only then did I learn that this fund not only has investment income, but also promotion bonuses.
Specifically, 200 yuan is a share, and the investment period is three months.
Investors can get 10% of the dividends every month, and they can get back the principal at the end of the term.
In addition, investors can also act as promoters.
If you invest yourself and introduce others to invest in a share at the same time, you can also get an additional 10% promotion reward.
In fact, Zhuo Qun's relatives also gave Zhuo Qun the sixty yuan he deserved.
If it is calculated in this way, it is equivalent to saving 200 yuan for three months, and you can get 80 yuan.
How high is this interest?
Forty percent return!
The bank only gives 10% of the whole deposit for a year.
But the best part is that the fund is not full yet.
Relatives suggested that Zhuo Qun could introduce other students to participate.
Not only can you help your classmates earn money, but you can also earn some promotion rewards from it.
It's a lot better than work-study.
So Zhuo Qun hurriedly told everyone about it.
Of course, he will not make everyone's money, and he will return the promotion bonus to everyone like a relative.
Even if everyone goes to pull others, the bonus is also everyone's own.
It's purely for the sake of sharing the blessings.
Not to mention, after Zhuo Qun's introduction, almost all the men at this table were hung up with appetite.
You must know that in the future, two well-known American direct selling companies in China have just started their initial business.
Most people in China don't know anything about the economic model of the "rat society".
At first glance, everyone thinks that this is really a good thing of "pie in the sky".
You think, you're not even afraid of having no money, and if anyone can pull people's heads, they can also make money.
It's just a matter of talking about it, but it's much better than being a tutor during the summer vacation and helping the teacher copy papers.
In particular, Zhuo Qun also understands the psychology of roommates as students.
He found a reasonable explanation for his anomaly in the first few days, and deliberately limited the time to three months.
It is to make everyone feel that the time is not long, and they can get the principal before the winter vacation, so as to dispel all worries.
In addition, where have these college students who have not yet entered the society ever seen such a "formal" contract letter?
Zhuo Qun also deliberately went to Zhongguancun that afternoon.
I found a company and rented someone's computer for 20 yuan.
Then I typed by myself, P the picture by myself, and spent ten yuan to print.
A decent set of "Experimental Scholarship Fund" introduction and investment authorization letter have been put out.
This makes the big guy even more stunned.
Li Kai is the most excited, he loves this "empty glove white wolf" way to make money.
"That, Zhuo Qun, are you serious? Don't be kidding, I brought someone else to buy it, can I really get the money?"
And Qiao Jian's temperament was the most urgent, so he made it clear on the spot and became the first investor.
", why don't you do it. Such a good thing, I buy a share. Hey, Zhuo Qun, if you can really get the money next month, I will invite you to drink. ”
Xu Yuntao, as the eldest brother in the dormitory, felt that he should also try to help as much as possible.
"Zhuoqun, it is indeed a good thing to be able to do this. Then I'll buy a share too. However, I also bought it to support you. You can take the promotion bonus, and you can't be busy in vain. ”
Zhuo Qun is not so stupid, he still has to rely on the full support of his brothers, that is where the core interests lie.
Where is it possible to be "unjust" for this little money?
immediately firmly stated that he would carry out the "righteousness" to the end and resolutely not earn everyone's money.
If anyone refuses to take the promotion bonus, they simply buy cigarettes and alcohol as a public welfare.
Well, this is even more applause.
But just when the situation was good and everyone was ready to move.
But Guo Yue, a girl with a psychological cleanliness habit, couldn't stand the cheers of the world.
Finally, I couldn't help but shout to stop, and complained in a very reluctant voice.
"Oh, don't you study journalism? Why do you talk about this all day long, money and money, it's too vulgar, right? It's like an uncle and aunt in the bank who keep an eye on interest rates every day. Can't we talk about anything else?"
Then he glanced at Zhuo Qun coldly, and expressed his dissatisfaction with him, the initiator.
The girl's words, especially the pretty girl's use of agitation, certainly works for most of these boys who don't have girlfriends yet.
This basin of cold water splashed everyone enthusiastically cooled down, and they were embarrassed to get up.
Even the weak-willed Gu Weijia and He Xu immediately "defected to the enemy".
"Yes, yes, your criticism is reasonable, and it is indeed a bit vulgar to talk about this. Okay, let's change the topic. ”
"Hey, but what are you talking about? Why don't you start and tell me what your school is doing right now?"
The just right cheer made Guo Yue's expression soften.
"Our school is now reading the English version of the book "The Dream of the Covered Bridge", have you read the Chinese version?"
He Xu answered, "We've all seen the movie, but we haven't had a book yet?"
"Movies, where can movies compare to books?"
Seeing that all the boys were listening to the high opinions.
Guo Yue's tone was a little excited, and he continued to discuss his views with everyone.
Why the content of the book is better than the movie.
Why is the original English more touching than the rough Chinese translation?
Indeed, the biggest cultural hotspot in 1996 was probably "The Dream of the Covered Bridge".
This movie with the theme of middle-aged extramarital affairs caused a huge sensation in our country.
It has received a lot of middle-aged attention and recognition from the Kochi class, and then the book has also sold well.
To be honest, turning the topic to this aspect is not only Guo Yue's frank performance, but also her natural choice.
As Zhuoqun, who knows her, she understands very well.
And he also knows the place of this work in Guo Yue's heart.
In fact, it is no less than a classic like "Gone with the Wind" or "Jane Eyre".
When they fell in love in the past, Guo Yue often liked to put the two of them in the plot for human nature and love discussions.
But the problem is that Guo Yue's performance is now tantamount to demolishing his platform.
His meal, including cigarettes, wine and food, was more than 100.
With such a big expense, his purpose is to pull funds, not to hold a "cultural conference" for Guo Yue.
How could he be willing to suffer this dumb loss?
What's more, with his current foundation, he really can't afford this loss.
So he found an opportunity to interject, and Zhuo Qun began to raise the bar with Guo Yue.
