Wu Siyuan strode in front of Mu Zixi, because no one rushed out of his way at all, and there was no one in the inner courtyard who didn't know the name of the crown, and once someone dared to stand in their way, they could basically say goodbye to the life in the inner courtyard.

Sikong Yao muttered in a low voice, what is the origin of this Juewei Crown, according to Liu Ke's explanation, it turns out that this Juewei Crown is the first cooking group in the inner courtyard, and its chefs occupy almost one-third of the seats on the cooking list, and the top ten are as high as four, and they own nearly half of the land on West Street, and the financial resources are enough to sweep away everything, even if they walk sideways in the inner courtyard, no one dares to touch their brows.

Sikong Yao frowned slightly, he was able to occupy one-third of the cooking list, and there were four people in the top ten, such strength was indeed terrifying, Liu Ke said that it was absolutely true that the Juewei Crown could walk sideways in the inner courtyard, after all, the strength was there, and no one would want to rush them.

But Ren Ran still had a question, Sikong Yao asked: "But won't such domineering cause others to be disgusted?" Even if you own more than half of the land in West Street, as long as you don't eat their food, isn't it? ”

Liu Ke shook his head and said: "At the beginning, everyone really thought so, as long as they didn't take care of their business, no matter how arrogant they were, no matter how strong they were, if they didn't have cooking points, there was nothing they could do in the inner courtyard." But as soon as everyone started isolating them, trouble began to arise. ”

It turns out that the head of the cooking group of this Exquisite Crown is not without ambition, and he knows that he is in the inner courtyard. It is useless to run a business in an ordinary monopoly way, so his strategic policy has been changed to the collection of protection fees.

Sikong Yao said in disgust: "If you don't give it, it's okay?" ”

In this inner courtyard, Sikong Yao really didn't believe that someone could come sideways, but the words that Liu Ke said immediately made Sikong Yao even more amazed by the means of the Absolute Crown.

Liu Ke explained: "At first, everyone didn't want to give it, but Juewei Crown has a lot of means, and they first raised funds from the general main backbone. Savings from various activities. Then buy ingredients in large quantities and then attack with their prey. For example, if there is a shop that sells fish dishes, if you don't pay a conservation fee, Juewei Crown will buy the shop next door to them. Then I also sell fish dishes. The taste is not bad either. The price is even lower than the cost price, almost for nothing. Everyone is not stupid, who doesn't love cheap and delicious food? And so it goes. Juewei Crown used this method of loss-making suppression to do things that hurt others and themselves, and crushed many small shops with unstable foundations. ”

Sikong Yao frowned in disgust, this kind of thing is also done by the Absolute Crown, isn't he afraid of dying? This is a loss-making business, how long can it last?

Liu Ke sighed helplessly and said: "No way, the background of the Juewei Crown is very behind, because there are many masters on the list among their members, and the income is very considerable, once this money is concentrated, whoever is targeted will be unlucky." Under this oppression, everyone gradually gave up resisting, and even if they resisted stubbornly, they couldn't resist the coercion of the other party's entire cooking group. Until the end, the king of the Juewei crown was consolidated, in order to be able to do business, everyone can only obediently pay the protection fee, although very unwilling, but no one wants to smash their own business, after all, it is a restaurant that they have worked so hard to open. ”

Sikong Yao's brows were wrinkled, and he tightly twisted into a Sichuan character, this method of the Absolute Crown is really bad, using this method to exploit the fruits of other people's labor, Sikong Yao's teeth are so angry, "The teacher of the academy doesn't care?" ”

Liu Ke shook his head helplessly and said, "They don't care, and even they are happy to see this happen." ”

"Why?" Sikong Yao's eyes widened in incomprehension.

Liu Ke explained: "Where there is oppression, where there is resistance, the teachers of the academy believe that in this case, sooner or later, someone will come out to compete with the Juewei Crown, and in this case, more talented students may be cultivated." This is the idea of the faculty teacher. ”

Sikong Yao frowned slightly, and asked again, "Will there really be?" ”

Liu Ke shrugged his shoulders and said: "I can't say, although the Juewei Crown is rich and rich, but there are still some people who will not bow their heads and compromise, they have developed to the present, wrapping the core backbone at the beginning, and currently in the group, they have recruited thirty-seven masters of the cooking list, but the remaining sixty-three have their own belongings, once this power is twisted, it may not be impossible to shake the status of the Juewei Crown, but this possibility is very slim." ”

Sikong Yao was immediately silent, she understood the helplessness revealed in Liu Ke's last sentence, that is, the famous in psychology, the dispersion of responsibility, that is, due to the presence of others, the responsibility that individuals need to bear in the face of emergency situations is correspondingly reduced.

Because when group norms and cohesion are out of tune, people may feel that others in the group are not working hard and are trying to be fair, so they themselves work less.

When a person encounters an emergency situation, if he alone can help, he will be aware of his responsibility and help the victim. If he dies and does not save him, he will feel guilty and guilty, which requires a high psychological price. And if there are many people present, the responsibility of helping the help-seeker is shared by everyone, resulting in scattered responsibilities, each person shares very little responsibility, and the bystander may not even be aware of his own responsibility, resulting in a kind of "I don't want to help, others will help" mentality, resulting in a situation of "collective indifference".

Although there are sixty-three masters on the cooking list who do not belong to the Absolute Crown, after all, they are all scattered in their respective cooking groups, and several people are in a bunch, no matter how hard they try, they can't shake the status of the Absolute Crown, and then they think in their hearts that there will be others to do this time, and there is no need to come forward themselves, so they put the hope of this matter on the people, and it is this mentality that makes the Absolute Taste Crown so rampant.

Seeing Sikong Yao's displeasure, Liu Ke immediately dissuaded: "You don't have any conflicts with Juewei Crown in the future, it won't be good for you, sometimes, even the number one master on the cooking list doesn't dare to argue with Juewei Crown, after all, in any place, the power of money is very terrifying." One of the masters who was originally ranked tenth on the cooking list was because he offended the Absolute Taste Crown, and as a result, for three years, he couldn't collect any ingredients, forcing him to quit the original cooking group on his own, for fear of affecting them, and the cruelty of the means was simply outrageous. ”

Sikong Yao snorted coldly, obviously still very unconvinced, and a sense of justice emerged in his heart for no reason, but this feeling of helplessness was poignant. It's the same as those who can only pay protection money, obviously reluctant, but helpless.

Sikong Yao gritted his teeth and asked again, "We cyan Pegasus also have to pay them protection money?" ”

Liu Ke nodded helplessly and said, "Well, except for some super powerful top cooking groups, Juewei Crown doesn't want to have a head-on conflict with them for a while, and the rest of the second-tier and second-tier restaurants all have to pay protection fees." ”

"How much?" Sikong Yao asked directly.

Liu Ke was silent for a moment, and suddenly gritted his teeth with hatred: "It's 150,000 cooking points every month." ”

Sikong Yao was so shocked that he couldn't speak, followed by anger, he actually asked for 150,000 cooking points, doesn't that mean that the subsistence allowance of the cyan Pegasus members is exploited every month?

Sikong Yao gritted his teeth in anger, and asked again: "Why is this so, doesn't he care about the head of the regiment?" ”

Liu Ke sighed and said: "The cyan Tianma is a second-rate cooking group in the inner courtyard, and it is very good to be able to keep the land in the inner street, and I dare not offend the Absolute Crown, of course the head of the group is also aggrieved, but what can I do?" If you offend the Absolute Crown, the hundred brothers and sisters under the cyan Pegasus will also suffer, and every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and it is not okay to give this money. ”

"Damn!" Sikong Yao involuntarily clenched his fists.

Liu Ke comforted again: "Forget it, don't be too relieved, this absolute crown has been ruled by dictatorship for nearly ten years, during which many revolutions have broken out, and no one has been able to overthrow their iron-fisted methods. ”

Although he was still a little unwilling in his heart, this was also a helpless thing, the only thing that made Liu Ke feel strange was Mu Zixi's expression, speaking of which, the past two days have also arrived at the beginning of the month, and it stands to reason that he should know that he will be charged protection money.

Gu Xuanfang has not been established in the inner courtyard for a long time, and he has never had any conflict with the Juewei Crown, why is his expression so difficult at this time, could it be that something has happened?

Wu Siyuan came to Mu Zixi and sneered: "Mu Zixi, have you thought clearly?" ”

Mu Zixi snorted coldly and reprimanded: "Gu Xuanfang will not compromise with you, you will die of this heart!" ”

Wu Siyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and teased: "Mu Zixi, you have to think clearly, although you are now the head of Gu Xuanfang, but you haven't thought that if your old senior's hard work is destroyed in your hands, after you leave the inner courtyard after graduation, what kind of face will you have to see him?" Is it really that fun to go against our Absolute Crown? ”

Mu Zixi gritted his teeth, and there were green tendons on his arms, and he reprimanded sharply: "The people of Gu Xuanfang are not bad breeds, even if we close this restaurant, we will not compromise!" (To be continued......)
