18. Preferential price
"My reward for helping." Yao Bin not only repeated it calmly, but also explained it generously: "It's the same as when you get paid at work, you have to pay the bill by taking a taxi, and you have to find someone to unlock the lock to get the money." β
"How can this be the same?" Shen Lin was unconvinced: "I'm ...... I'm just asking you for a favor. β
"It's true that most of the time friends help each other and it doesn't involve money as a direct reward. - But in fact, it is not free, but it is converted into a more hidden emotional investment, or self-emotional satisfaction. After expounding this point of view, Yao Bin continued: "What's more, so far, you have no intention of being friends with me. β
Of course I don't want to be friends with you, a 10,000-year-old monster!
Shen Lin didn't have the confidence to pretend to be stunned with the 10,000-year-old monster, so he had to bow his head: "That...... How much do I have to pay? β
"What's this......" Yao Bin paused slightly: "For the sake of our first cooperation, this time I will give you a certain discount, just 130,000." β
130,000!
It's still a discounted price!
It was exactly the amount that Shen Lin asked for an advance!
"Ha," Shen Lin laughed angrily: "Why didn't your old man just say 1.3 million?" β
Compared with Shen Lin's anger, Yao Bin's tone was quite calm: "It seems that you think the charge is unreasonable." β
"Reasonable! Of course it is reasonable! How can it be unreasonable? Shen Lin smiled, but gritted his teeth: "Your old man raised his noble hand and helped others earn a huge sum of up to 50,000 yuan with his own principal, but he only received a small remuneration of 130,000 yuan from me!" Generous to this extent, how dare I say anything unreasonable? β
"According to your current state of mind," Yao Bin was obviously not affected by Shen Lin's yin and yang weirdness, "You should only focus on the simple process, but you haven't considered the high cost." β
"At what cost?" Shen Lin exaggeratedly opened his arms and compared back and forth between the rented apartment and the lottery shop: "Is it the sweat from going out and walking a hundred meters?" Or is it saliva consumed by less than a hundred words? Even if it's the cost, that's the cost of my sweat and saliva! What costs did you come out of? β
"I paid two costs." To Shen Lin's surprise, Yao Bin really had the answer: "The first is opportunity cost. β
"Huh." Shen Lin sneered.
"I gave you two sets of numbers,The first set of numbers is exactly the same as the first four winning numbers of the two-color ball two days ago,Just now I bought two times the lottery in Lao Zhang's lottery shop,Both times won five times the third prize." Yao Bin summed up the important events of the past two days, and then asked: "Do you think that I have memorized a lot of winning lottery numbers because of this?" β
"What? Isn't it? β
"Yes, but it's not." Yao Bin continued: "I do remember a lot of winning lottery numbers, to be exact, it should be a lot. But, most of the time, the vast majority of these lottery numbers that I remember don't really mean much. You know why? β
The vast majority of winning lottery numbers mean little......
Like many young people, Shen Lin usually has a lot of contact with science fiction novels and science fiction movies, and faintly, Shen Lin thought of something: "You mean ......"
"It seems that you know something about this," Yao Bin continued...... "Any one thing will have an impact on other things around you, and then affect more things on a larger scale, and so on." Any action I make will affect the world, and the bigger the action, the greater the impact......"
"Butterfly effect......" Shen Lin muttered, "An insignificant move that affects the direction of the whole world. β
"This view is still relatively one-sided." Yao Bin corrected: "The general trend of the world is the final manifestation of the joint action of all parties and various forces. One or two small details pry the whole planet, which is possible only when it happens at a critical juncture, or when it is deliberately performed in film and television works. Ordinary small details will not have a decisive impact on the general trend of the world......"
ββ¦β¦ Of course, small details do have a big impact on the local. Yao Bin continued: "The specific degree of change and the impact factor are still difficult for you to understand. But as far as you can see at the moment, after winning the lottery twice in a row, it won't be long before all the lottery numbers I remember will turn into meaningless combinations. Remember the calculated odds when you and Lao Zhang first decided to buy lottery tickets? 130,000 fights 18 million! Not to mention the first set of numbers...... From this aspect, compared to the small 130,000, the winning lottery numbers I wasted, involving tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of money? Which is more important than my loss compared to the two of you? β
"Uh......" Shen Lin was speechless. ββThe facts in his memory clearly told him that as long as Yao Bin was willing at that time, the first four numbers could indeed easily become 18 million huge sums. From this point of view, Yao Bin has indeed suffered a heavy loss.
"The second cost is the cost of human resources." Without waiting for Shen Lin to doubt, Yao Bin preemptively asked: "Diagonally opposite the second row of your workstation in the company, there is a colleague surnamed Zhou, is his salary 1300 less than yours?" β
"Uh......" Like most companies with a little scale, Shen Lin's company also adopts a salary confidentiality system, but after working for a long time, this little secret is destined to spread, Shen Lin quickly nodded: "Yes." β
"You're 1300 better at work than him?"
Shen Lin shook his head. Xiao Zhou's education is higher than him, his work is more active and serious than him, and he is also enthusiastic about treating people, Yao Bin watched it for two months, and Shen Lin asked himself if he could lie in this regard.
"Your relationships are 1300 stronger than his?"
Shen Lin shook his head again. Shen Lin is not sociable, and Xiao Zhou is not satisfactory, but the latter is a local and has an inherent advantage over Shen Lin.
"That's all the same work, why do you take 1300 more?"
The question was very simple, and Shen Lin answered calmly: "I have one year more work experience than him." β
"Well, it's worth an extra 1,300 yuan of work experience every month." Yao Bin asked leisurely, "What's the use?" β
"When I get a job, I can make a long-term plan; When I encounter problems, I have more experience in dealing with them; Unexpected issues, I have a quicker solution...... Many, much more. β
"Well, you have a point." Yao Bin first expressed his confirmation, and then asked: "One more year of experience, the monthly salary is 1,300 higher, so do you think that my human resources with one million years of experience are one million years higher than yours, and the salary is a little higher, is it also very reasonable?" β
When answering the questions just now, Shen Lin had roughly realized what Yao Bin meant, so he had to lower his head and stop talking.
Yao Bin didn't think much: "Your current state of mind, it is indeed difficult for me to accept that it will cost 130,000 yuan to solve Zhang Fuxin's problem, but in a few years, you will deeply agree with this price." β
"- Maybe when the time comes, you will be charged for helping others...... Well, your discount price is higher than mine: let's say the 1.3 million you just wanted. β
