Chapter 147: Master of Psychology
"Tony, have you heard? Something happened to Greenwood! On this day, Chen Yuanqi suddenly came to Monet's office and said to him with a panicked face.
"Oh? What's wrong? Monet asked knowingly.
"A few days ago, on May 31, a massacre broke out in Greenwood, hundreds of blacks were killed by local whites, and the wounded were too many to count, and now the whole of Greenwood is said to have been burned to the ground!" Chen Yuanqi pointed to a newspaper in his hand and said.
Monet took it and saw that it was a local newspaper in Oklahoh, and it had a very detailed report on the massacre.
On the night of May 31, 1921, thousands of whites shouted slogans and stormed the black neighborhoods of Tulsa City, armed with various weapons and robbed private homes and office buildings, and then carried out indiscriminate massacres of black people, which was followed by arson, and even used small planes to bomb black houses and businesses from the air. The massacre left more than 300 people killed, more than 800 injured, more than 6,000 black people arrested, more than 10,000 black people left homeless, 35 black neighborhoods destroyed, and more than 1,200 buildings burned in just one day.
In particular, one survivor, Olivia Huco, described it even more shockingly: "Countless white people screamed and burst into my house, smashing my sister's piano and my mother's dresser, my father's bookshelf and my grandmother's cot were poured with gasoline, the whole house was engulfed in flames, and there were white people shouting 'Burn them, burn them'...... Every night after that, I would wake up screaming and never falling asleep again, and I will never forget those images......"
The cause was the day before, on May 30, 1921, Memorial Day, when Roland, a 19-year-old black shoemaker, had a confrontation with Paige, a white elevator operator, at around 4 p.m., which became a flashpoint for racial conflict in the city of Tulsha.
After Roland was arrested, local whites gathered outside the courthouse, and they kept demanding that Roland be in a tree and be burned to death by hanging him from a tree. In order to protect Roland, some blacks came to the courthouse with weapons, and in the chaos it was not known who fired a shot, and then a fire broke out between whites and blacks, killing 10 whites and 2 blacks. The two sides accused each other of firing the gun first, and then the rumor that "the black people are in turmoil and want to kill the white people" spread throughout the city, and the white immigrants who worked for the black people quickly gathered and united with the local white people, and on the night of May 31, without warning, suddenly broke into the black community, smashed and burned and looted, and indiscriminately slaughtered black people, both men and women, young and old.
Of course, this was only the local Oklahom newspaper, and other states, including Oklaho newspapers, did not dare to report on it later.
Just when Monet was reading the newspaper, Chen Yuanqi said with palpitations: "Tony, it seems that you are right, the matter of this Chinese town is really unreliable, I didn't believe it when you said that Greenwood would have a big deal sooner or later, and now it seems that if you get out of the Chinese town, it will be easier to have an accident!" ”
Monet nodded and agreed: "So if you really want to build your own towns and even kingdoms for the Chinese, the best way is to return to China to build New China, and strive to build China into what Mr. Lu Shimo wrote in "New China"!" ”
"Well, Tony, what you said makes sense, it seems that we should still insist on supporting and assisting the domestic revolutionary movement!" Chen Yuanqi agreed.
But then the conversation changed and sighed: "It's just that there are too many groups in China now, and I don't know which one to support." ”
In fact, Monet wanted to directly say that he supported our party, but because it had just been established for a year, it was difficult to be convincing, so he had to say perfunctorily: "Well, as long as they sincerely contribute to the country and don't covet our donations, I think it's okay." Of course, this needs to be done by sending someone to investigate, and it is not enough to rely on what they say, because many times the top of a group may be good, but it is difficult to say when it comes to the next stage of implementation. ”
"Well, what you said makes sense, I will make a suggestion to Mr. Situ!"
After sending Chen Yuanqi away, Beasley knocked on the door with a little boy about twelve or thirteen years old and walked in, and as soon as he entered the door, Beasley helped to introduce: "Boss, this is Abraham, the son of my friend Maslow, Maslow, Abraham, this is Mr. Monet, whom you admire the most!" ”
In fact, even if Beasley didn't say it, Monet guessed that the "genius writer" he brought in at this time must be the "genius writer", but when he heard the name of "Abraham Maslow", he couldn't help but be stunned, because although he had not studied psychology, he often saw the famous "Maslow's Needs Theory" on Zhihu and some pretending 13 tutorials. (Simply put, physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, respect needs, and self-actualization needs.) )
"The Reborn Financial Giant"
However, Monet really couldn't remember Maslow's specific age, so he asked Maslow: "Abraham, how old are you?" ”
"I'm 13 years old!" Maslow replied with some restraint.
"Like detectives?" Monet asked again.
Maslow nodded and replied, "Well, I like it!" ”
"Why do you like it? Is it because you want to be a police officer or a detective? Monet asked.
Monet thought that Maslow would answer the latter, after all, Beasley told him so, but Maslow shook his head and replied: "No, in fact, I don't like the process of solving reasoning, but I like the process of detectives looking for the murderer's criminal motives, especially Mr. Monet's works, which show a lot of very characteristic criminal psychology in them." ”
Hearing this, Monet secretly said in his heart, no need to ask, this must be the famous psychologist Maslow, otherwise who is a normal child who has nothing to do to study this?
But if you say this, this kid is not lying, he is indeed a genius, but not a literary genius, but a psychological genius, in this case, it is even more impossible to delay him, so Monet advised: "Since you like to study the criminal mind, then you should not be in charge of the house but become a policeman!" ”
PS: Who knows where the octopus guy is writing his book now? Actually, I like his urban essays, because relatively speaking, some of the descriptions in it are still relatively real, such as the otaku's book that was operated in the unfinished building in the early stage is very good-looking, but it is too poisonous to have to entangle with his ex-girlfriend!
