Chapter 451: Attitude
There is no doubt that with the development of money as a contract between the market and the right of exchange in human society, money has become a dream for countless people. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
From the original stone coins and shell coins, to the later precious metal money, and then to the paper money based on the credit of the state in modern society, it represents wealth, resources and unparalleled energy.
Whoever has more money in his hands will be able to make his life better.
Everything that is out of reach in the eyes of ordinary people, such as yachts, private jets, luxury villas, brand-name cars, expensive food and wine, can all be bought with money, and even the consequent increase in social status......
In short, in this materialistic commodity era, the value of money has long been not only a currency, but also a manifestation of values.
Especially in the United States, where the capitalist system is practiced, money worship is rooted in the subconscious of almost everyone.
If there is any way to make everyone feel pain, it is that the answer is not a national hatred, but a large amount of money that he has worked so hard to earn is suddenly gone.
Obviously, what Lu Li is doing now is this.
Because he understands that for a criminal, there is nothing more shocking and painful than burning the stolen money she has obtained at great risk in front of her.
Looking at Maya's bloodshot eyes and excited expression at the moment, she would rather be ravaged and abused than witness piles of dollars burned, and even the strange decomposition ability of the magic fire was subconsciously ignored, focusing all her attention on the disappearing cash.
As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a perfect person in the world, no matter how strong a person looks and how strong-willed he is, there is a fatal weakness hidden in his heart.
As long as you can find it, you will be able to destroy the opponent's psychological defenses and thus force the opponent to submit to you.
Lu Li undoubtedly grasped the weakness of this mixed-race beauty, so he deliberately picked up a stack of Franklin and shook it, and teased in a slightly playful voice: "You seem to attach great importance to these little green pieces of paper? In that case, how about we play a little game? From now on, I will take out 200,000 at a time to ask you a question, and if you answer it, then the 200,000 will be yours, and if you can't answer, then the 200,000 will be burned." ”
After that, he casually picked out twenty bundles of hundred-dollar bills and stretched out a finger: "The first question, answer me, where did the money and bearer bonds come from?"
"Huhuhu......"
Maya's breathing suddenly became rapid, and she tried to answer several times, but for some reason she finally held back, turned her head to the side, and forced herself not to watch.
"Vivien, burn it!" Lu Li did not hesitate to throw two hundred thousand dollars to the dark elf Lori.
The latter, completely unaware of the purchasing power of these small green pieces of paper, used magic fire to break them down with a bang.
Watching the money that many poor people can't earn in their lifetime disappear from front of their eyes, Lu Li quickly counted out another 200,000 yuan, and said without changing his face: "It's still the question just now, you have the right to choose to answer or not to answer, anyway, there is still a lot of cash, and we will continue to burn bonds if it burns out." You know? I've always liked the Batman trilogy where the Joker burns up piles of dollars with gasoline. Even though I don't have that much money on hand, it's exciting and exciting to think about burning close to $200 million at once. ”
"Crazy! you're just crazy!" Maya growled, clenching her fists.
Although she didn't believe that Lu Li would really burn all the cash and bonds, she was frightened by the attitude that she didn't care about money.
After all, the money doesn't just belong to her, but to the entire team. She also had to find a way to use the money to hire someone to rescue her companions.
After a moment of silence, Maya took a deep breath and explained in a low voice, "Both cash and bonds are paid to us by our customers. In order to prevent the bank account from being frozen by the government after an accident, the head set the rule from the beginning that everyone who hired us had to pay cash or bearer bonds, and over time we saved so much. ”
"I see...... I will say what I say, and the 200,000 will be yours. Lu Li immediately fulfilled his promise and threw the banknotes in hand to the other party.
"Wow, I can get 200,000 yuan for answering a question, do I still want to kneel down and thank you for your generosity?" Maya glanced at the dollar at her feet, a sarcastic sneer on her face.
Lu Li shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly: "Whatever you think, anyway, the money is in my hands, I can deal with it as I want, isn't it?"
"That's right, I'm just a little surprised that someone like you is so bold as to swallow our money. Aren't you afraid of setting yourself on fire?" Maya threatened with a deliberate bluff.
"Hahahaha!" Lu Liyi couldn't hold back, laughed loudly, and pointed to his nose while laughing, "People like me, who do you think I am?"
Maya replied with some uncertainty: "As far as I know, you are a Chinese, a billionaire, with advanced biotechnology at hand, and it is very likely that you will become one of the richest people in the world in the future." That's why you're able to burn hundreds of thousands of dollars without care, or you'll be a slum-born person, and the money would be enough to buy their lives. ”
Lu Li smiled and shook his head: "No, it's not that I don't care about it when I burn cash, on the contrary, I respect money and the meaning behind it, but it doesn't mean that I will become a slave to money." You see, money itself is nothing but a tool, a means to an end, and if you regard it as the ultimate goal of life, then I can only say that your life will be full of tragedy. ”
"Are you laughing at me?" Maya asked, narrowing her eyes.
Lu Li explained innocently: "I'm not laughing at you, I'm just explaining a simple truth." Unfortunately, the more people understand it, the harder it usually becomes to do it. In many cases, emotions such as impulses, instincts, and desires can temporarily triumph over reason, causing people to make many wrong choices. I have no intention of judging your life, so now let's move on to the second question. How many of you are there, what are your identities, and what have you done over the years?"
As a middleman who has been in contact with all levels of society, Lu Li knows very well that the so-called human beings are not like many media promotes, most of the time reason suppresses feelings, but in turn feelings dominate reason.
For example, a man who is about to be sent to work abroad is a man with a family, and the first thing he thinks about is not how high the salary is when he works abroad, what to do with his wife and children at home, what to do if his elderly parents have no one to take care of him, and finally what to do if he does not adapt to the environment and diet.
If reason overwhelms emotion, then the first thing this man thinks of is definitely whether the salary will be doubled and whether it will be good for future promotion, as for the parents, wife, and children, they all have to be in the back row.
Because in the eyes of many people, reason means impersonal, selfishness, and people who are too rational cannot get along well with most people......
