Chapter 171: Letter of Fraud (II)
At Roland's instructions, Joseph was responsible for collating and recording all the information that came back from the letters.
Roland didn't put questions on the questionnaire that people were embarrassed to write or simply wary of.
Most of them are "what do you like to eat for dinner", "which store do you think has the best salmon", "how much do you think you should spend on alcohol in a month", and so on.
It seems that it is all some investigation of insignificant taste of life.
But in reality, these 20 questions are enough to weave a sufficiently detailed picture.
For example, if you like to eat herb roast goose for dinner, it must be the titan noble. And salmon - not the salmon of the earth - has a strange smell that can only be enjoyed by those born near the River Tirans.
At the same time, if Joseph noticed that an unfamiliar address had suddenly sent a reply, but the address he had not sent from, Joseph would immediately highlight the address.
For, as Roland wrote in his letter, these are those who are "generous" and wealthy.
At this point, Joseph would immediately send him a second or third letter. Even if he received more than a dozen first letters forwarded to him, he would smile when he received the next letter and saw the title of "most generous" person.
After that, there is the difference between the second letter and the third letter.
In the letter sent to the female target, Roland emphasized the difficulty of conducting research.
Roland combined several of his cannons on Earth to engage in research. Friend's personal experience, with a tactful pen style, vividly describes the difficulties of girls engaging in scientific research, and makes every effort to sensationalize death. If they don't cry, they're not done.
Before the end of the plague revival, the literature of the world of Faense had not exploded as much as it had in the years of peace. Therefore, Roland is not afraid of splashing blood—intrigues between wizard apprentices, misfortunes from heaven, evil young people with bad intentions, and open and secret strife between witches......
Sprinkle thousands of words. The plot is magnificent. She can write at least millions of words.
In fact, Roland is indeed going for the purpose of serialization......
In the letter to the male target, he expressed his longing and admiration for the goal in an elegant and reserved tone at the end. He also vaguely expressed the financial difficulties of his project, expressed his desire for more financial support, and described the great spirit of dedication to the study of witchcraft......
-- To sum it up in four words, it is aid. Help. Delivery. Border.
Considering that Joseph did not have the motivation to write a reply at all, and the font was not good, this part of the plan would be carried out by Roland himself.
Witches are a lot of points in a sense. Coupled with Roland's deliberately imitated Juanxiu font and the "work experience" he gained from using chat tools at a very young age, he can easily grasp the balance between addicting people and not giving them a face.
To put it bluntly, it is a letter-style Internet scam.
After getting acquainted with the more generous and wealthy targets, Roland would write a fourth letter as Orlando and send it on a large scale, covering them "exactly".
The contents of the Orlando letter can be summarized briefly. It can be summed up in the following sentences-
I'm Orlando. In my name, I assure you that my next words are not lies.
I've now found a wonderful walk. Private channels require a certain amount of original capital.
In just three days, you can get a one-tenth return on your investment.
Believe it or not, I've done two rounds of fundraising, and they've both paid off quite well.
You may think I'm just a liar in the name of Orlando, but if you don't believe me, you can come to me somewhere, and I'll talk to you.
-- But actually, I ended up in contact with people with bad intentions. It's going to be Esther.
At this time, Roland will turn into a humanoid chatter, sending a large number of letters every day.
Regardless of whether or not the "generous" targets rewarded Roland, he would say to the "generous" targets for some reason. The project is suddenly out of money.
If I have to explain, it is the great Lord Orlando who led us to get rich together.
After two rounds of investment, we have a lot of money. Wait for this round of investment to end. We have money~
So, let's not meet for now!
…… Of course. This would certainly not be the case with Roland's exact words. But that's what it means, yes.
And Roland doesn't cheat those investors. At least in the early days.
-- Roland, of course, didn't have anything wonderful. Private channels. He is just tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall.
The profits and returns demanded by each investor are actually taken off by Roland from the new investors' funds.
Because this highly profitable short-term investment is simply too short. It was so short that those who were carried away by greed subconsciously continued to invest money in Roland's side.
At the same time, Joseph would keep sending out Roland's fourth letter group.
And as more and more people get the first round of cash-outs, those who are sure that they can really make money will spontaneously spread the word to their friends, relatives and even colleagues, and borrow large sums of money - and of course they will get a corresponding return on the money they borrowed.
It only takes three rounds, and it is enough to make half of the White Tower go crazy. There are definitely a lot of people who are jealous of Mr. Orlando's profits, and stealing and kidnapping must be everything.
But in fact, there is no one in the entire White Tower, except for Anvilia and Palbchico, who is no match for Esther at all.
As it happens, these two men, along with Clavi, are not in the White Tower.
And as the number of priests in the White Tower reaches a critical point, Roland will suddenly stop at the sixth or seventh round or so, and no longer cash out for investors.
At this point, Roland's explanation will be that the market is close to saturation, cash flow is not working - or something. The profit will be released in a week's time, and the profit margin will be gradually reduced from 8% to about 5%.
At that point, there will inevitably be a large number of people who are dissatisfied with "Orlando".
Although the profit of 5% a week is already high, but after tasting the sweetness of the front, most people will inevitably shout "what kind of deception is this" everywhere, and at the same time, they also give Roland the last wave of advertising.
At this time, under the offensive of Roland's money army, a group of calm "objectivists" will stand up and whitewash Roland. In fact, even if Roland didn't hire them, someone would probably pop up.
At the same time, there will be a small number of people who will continue to make large investments in Orlando.
They are all those stingy fat sheep who have not been tempted by Roland's "Tuo" before, and they are also investors in the real sense.
They're bound to have a magical walk on "Orlando." The private channel "was curious and engaged in a violent and not so friendly round of temptation."
They deservedly get the result of failure.
Whether they are at the top or not, throwing an olive branch at "Orlando" or joining forces for a new round of violent attempts, these people will certainly not wait for their share in return.
Because at this time, Roland will send all the principal that he manages to Joseph in batches, so that he can take it out of the White Tower little by little.
A typical Ponzi scheme.
Old-fashioned and effective. Because there has never been a similar scam in this world, the methods of scammers, and people's understanding of scammers, are still stuck in magic tricks and logical traps that can only deceive countrymen and fools.
That's why Esther can easily fool a whole bunch of people.
It's not that I don't have enough IQ, but because in the absence of precedent, thinking too much will lead to ridicule.
When the deceived people of the White Tower slowly come to their senses, they will find that the wealth of the White Tower has almost been completely squeezed out by Roland.
-- And at this point, it's almost time for the great forces of the gods to come in. The wizards who were deflected out of money couldn't do it even if they wanted to torture Roland for a long time.
Under the anger of the new generation of poor wizards, Roland's only fate was to be executed.
Beyond that, there was nothing else that could ease their anger.
And there is only one kind of capital punishment that is most painful, and even the soul suffers eternal pain after death.
That's silver injection.
"Mentor, I promise you," Roland muttered, a strange smile on his lips, "you're going to see an execution like no other. ”
"I'm looking forward to it."
A lazy voice sounded like a hallucination from behind Roland. (To be continued......)
