Chapter 501 - Brainwashing.
Chapter 501: Brainwashing.
“Since we already know that these are MLM personnel, why not arrest them immediately?” Xiao Luo asked.
Qiu Yuanjie replied with a wry smile, “Although MLM is illegal, it is very special. After the ‘brainwashing’, victims will not think that they are being deceived. Instead, they will feel that our police are hindering them from making a fortune and would stand up for the MLM personnel. Doing that is unrealistic. Only by grasping the current situation and seizing the evidence can those MLM personnel be captured without rebuttal.”
“Are you talking about the stolen money?” Xiao Luo asked.
Qiu Yuanjie nodded. “Yes.”
“But this gold medal lecturer who will encourage everyone to invest right at this moment is the informant of your police. Will the money received this time have legal grounds? Won’t he still be held responsible?” Xiao Luo was confused.
“The content that our informant is about to tell is prepared in advance by MLM personnel. The informant is just a witness. He can appear in court to accuse all other MLM personnel, and the huge amount of money is enough to convict these MLM personnel.” Qiu Yuanjie explained.
Hearing that, Xiao Luo stopped talking and just looked at the platform.
Guan Tong took the microphone and said as if he disdained the introduction, “Don’t listen to his nonsense. The story you heard about me has a lot of water in it. Speaking is one thing and it is another thing for us to sit together and chat.”
Huh?!
Interesting!
Xiao Luo was a little surprised. Just now, all the people in the venue were skeptical of Guan Tong. But once these words were spoken, he immediately drew everyone’s attention.
“It is absolutely bragging to say it is able to earn 10 million in half a year. Unless you are the second generation child of some official and has a very wide network of contacts, that’s not possible. But then again, if you really are a second generation child of some official, is there even the need to invest in me in the first place, am I right?” Guan Tong held out his hands.
Laughter rang out from the venue. People thought it was funny and true, and their opinion on Guan Tong improved a lot.
Guan Tong continued, “I will tell you a big truth today. First of all, there is no money-making system that does not need to take risks. In the business field, there is a saying that peers have different interests. It is the same in business, some earn a lot of money, while some lose thousands. This is reality, and none of us can ignore it. Therefore, when investing in a certain industry, we must have the ability to identify risks.” His tone is very serious, and his words are well-founded and convincing.
The 3,000 plus attendees in the hall soon cheered up, they felt that Mr Guan was really good. Unlike other successful people, who only promised them to earn a lot of money, Mr Guan stated clearly that there would be potential risks. He made it seem like he was sharing his own experiences with everyone. They really felt the sincerity and well-meaning from his words.
“Secondly, when making an investment, you have to consider your own ability. What that means is you should know whether you have this ability or not, and don’t do anything beyond your ability. There are only two problems. The first is whether the investment is safe, and the second is whether you can earn money. I won’t talk about whether it is safe or not, as I just said, every investment is risky. But then again, opportunities and risks coexist.
Can you make money? Of course, but 10 million is exaggerated, a million or two is possible, but this requires a prerequisite, that is, contacts. After years of accumulation, my contacts web from those foreign presidents, all the way down to small counties in China. I am able to achieve what I have today because I have met people from different levels. But for all of you here, to me some of you are not suitable for investing in my project.”
When Guan Tong’s words came out, the people immediately looked at each other with suspicion and doubts. They wanted to see who didn’t have the qualification, or whether Guan Tong’s words were alluding to themselves. After looking around, they found none, which made them uneasy. After all, no one wanted to be the unqualified one.
Xiao Luo was surprised. Guan Tong had been emphasizing that he wanted to be a talented person. But to Xiao Luo’s thinking, this guy was already one.
His words were wrapped in mystery. He first took down everyone’s guard by telling them the truth and won their trust. Then, he declared that the investment project could earn money, but it could not earn 10 million as advertised, and instead reduced it to several million. This further strengthened his credibility. Finally, people were judged by their qualifications, which indirectly promoted people’s psychology of comparison, thinking that they were qualified to invest.
His words were well-connected. Step by step, he deepened and consolidated the determination of the 3,000 plus people present!
If Qiu Yuanjie didn’t tell him that Guan Tong was their informant, he would have thought this guy was really a gold medal lecturer in MLM!
……
……
“Money is waiting for me, seize the opportunity!”
“Take the initiative and seize the opportunity!”
“We make money together and get success together!”
After half an hour of speech, the audience began to boil. The 3,000 plus people’s desire and ambition to earn money were ignited by Guan Tong. They kept raising their fists and shouting slogans with Guan Tong.
These people have been successfully brainwashed!
Xiao Luo secretly clicked his tongue, even himself was convinced by Guan Tong’s words. If he did not know that this was a pyramid scheme lecture beforehand, he would already be carrying one hundred thousand in his hand and invested.
“He is both an informant and a brainwashing expert. Fortunately, he and our police are in the same camp. If he is in the pyramid scheme… Even thinking about it is terrifying. How long did it take to convince 3,000 plus people again? Look at these people, they are as excited as madmen.” Qiu Yuanjie said fearfully.
“Indeed.” Xiao Luo was deeply impressed.
At the end of Guan Tong’s speech, the 3,000 plus people rushed to pay for their investment. The MLM personnel had PS card readers so it was very easy and convenient to process the transactions.
Some people not only paid 100,000 yuan, but even 500,000 yuan and 1 million yuan! They invested almost all their financial resources, because the more the investment, the more the returns. Looking at these brainwashed people, Xiao Luo couldn’t help shaking his head and sighed. If the police didn’t intervene this time, these 3,000 plus people would lose their money. And those who put all their possessions into it would ruin their family and separate.
After all, although money was not everything, it would be impossible without money, and many problems would arise without it…
