Siheyuan: From Being Called Shazhu

Seeing that He Yuzhu was unmoved and still wanted to refuse, Xu Wude continued to increase the bid.

"Zhu Zi, listen to me. I know these things may not be a big deal in your eyes, but at least they are free. It's good to give your children some snacks and toys from time to time."

"Yes, yes, yes, Zhuzi, you don't know how profitable this operating model is."

I don’t know whether Xu Wude had discussed this with Xu Damao or he was on a temporary business trip.

Anyway, these two men, one said that he didn't care about this little money, while the other said that this thing could make money.

However, since Xu Damao had already started talking, Xu Wude just glanced at Xu Damao and let him continue.

"Our model has been running in Europe and the United States for many years. We, as the general agent, develop downlines, and now, they can only purchase goods from us. And the downlines of the downlines can only purchase goods from the downlines of the downlines. And so on, one by one. Let me put it this way, Zhuzi, a downline can not only bring us the 20% difference in the price of shipment, but also bring us a rebate on the membership fee when they join the club."

As he spoke, Xu Damao made a big circle with his hands.

"Downline, downline of downline, downline of downline of downline. Just thinking about it will tell you how huge the wealth is."

If the words "the cosmetics company on the other side of the lighthouse" and "agent" were not enough to remind He Yuzhu of anything.

Then, "developing downlines", "downlines developing downlines", "earning rebates from membership fees when downlines join", and "earning commissions from the price difference of goods" are enough to remind He Yuzhu of a term - "pyramid selling".

In He Yuzhu's memory.

Pyramid schemes in later generations were probably banned when he was a child, when he was about to go to school but had not yet started, or when he was already in elementary school.

Calculating the time, it should have been transmitted at this time.

However, He Yuzhu still asked uncertainly.

"Well, you guys always mention Lighthouse Company, what's the specific name of that company?"

Xu Damao, who thought He Yuzhu could finally hold it in and confess, excitedly introduced to He Yuzhu the company that they said had obtained the "general agent" position.

"YAFxxx is a cosmetics company that has been established for a hundred years. Moreover, they registered a branch in Guangdong Province last year to serve the mainland."

Yes, that’s it.

"Known as" the first "MLM company" to be introduced into the mainland.

Now that he knew what he wanted, He Yuzhu would definitely not let Xu Wude and Xu Damao continue to speak.

He casually picked up the teacup, put it to his mouth, but didn't drink.

"Well, Uncle Xu, Damao, I really can't do this. There are really rules that prevent me from participating. Thank you for your kindness."

It’s okay, Xu Wude and Xu Damao still have self-awareness.

Seeing He Yuzhu's movements, he stood up.

"Okay, Zhuzi, you think about it. I have a first-level agent position reserved for you. Whenever you want to join, just come and find me."

Xu Wude left the flowers and left with Xu Damao.

After Xu Wude and Xu Damao left, He Yuzhu thought for a while.

"Dad, come back with me later. Don't live here for the time being."

"so serious?"

He Daqing didn't expect this matter to be so serious, and he regretted it.

"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come back. And I'm making you suffer."

As he said this, he sighed.

I got up and started packing my things.

Shi Xiaona originally wanted to ask something, but her father-in-law had already started packing up.

Then as a daughter-in-law, I must step forward to help.

Not only her, but even her granddaughter-in-law Guo Yao stepped forward and offered her hand.

"Dad, this matter..."

Little He Wu handed He Yuzhu a cigarette before asking.

"Well, Xiaowu, you are a technical student, so help Dad calculate what 2 to the 19th power is?"

"Ok?"

Little He Wu was stunned.

He didn't know why He Yuzhu asked this question.

However, after thinking about it, he shook his head.

"I don't know. The number is too big to calculate. But I know that 2 to the power of 10 is 1024."

"Okay, let me ask it another way."

He Yuzhu changed his angle and asked again:

"So you have decided to save money for your son's wedding gift. Let's not save much every day. On the first day, we save 1 cent, on the second day, we save cents, on the third day, we save cents. And so on, the next day will double the amount of the previous day. Let me ask you, can you save until the day when Xiao Chendong gets married?"

"Well, a little bit, with my current salary of a few hundred yuan a month, I can still save it..."

As he was talking, Xiao He Wu couldn't go on.

He Daqing and the other two, who had been listening attentively to what He Yuzhu and He Wu were saying, also sat back down at this time.

Shi Xiaona even took up the conversation.

"If what my son said is true, that means on the 11th day, it was already 10 yuan, and then 2 yuan, 4, 20, 5, 41, 82... "

As she calculated, Shi Xiaona fell silent.

Seeing that everyone seemed to be thinking about something, He Yuzhu stopped asking questions and just spoke directly.

"Now, you also know that once the power of 2 is large enough, the resulting number will be larger. Think about it, what the Xu family father and son just said, does the general agent look like this '2'? Then, the power above represents the downline. Tell me, how much money does this company have to have in order to be able to continuously develop downline points?"

"Hiss~~~Pass the flower!"

Unexpectedly, the first person to react was He Daqing.

"In the early years, I once had an encounter with a man who called himself Qianmen. At that time, he used the 'pass the flower' trick, so that the deceived person would never know whose hand the flower would land on, thus achieving the purpose of deceiving people."

Listening to He Daqing's explanation, He Yuzhu stretched out his hand and gave He Daqing a thumbs up.

"Yes, just like my dad said, this is actually a game of pass the parcel."

At this point, He Yuzhu sighed.

"In fact, there is no shortage of smart people in this world. There must be a lot of people who can see through such a simple trick. However, there are also some smart people who are greedy and think, 'As long as I withdraw quickly, the flowers will definitely not reach my hands', 'I am not greedy, I will withdraw after earning some pocket money'. Little do they know that the schemer takes advantage of this mentality."

Having said that, He Yuzhu glanced at He Daqing.

"Ahem".

He Daqing understood what he meant and coughed twice to attract everyone's attention before speaking.

"Okay, we just need to keep this to ourselves. If anyone else wants to join or something, we'll just pretend we don't know. Do you hear me?"

After He Daqing finished speaking, He Yuzhu nodded at He Daqing with certainty.

He Yuzhu couldn't say this.

If he said it, He Yuzhu would seem particularly selfish.

Although, at his level, there is basically no hope of promotion.

However, being labeled as "selfish", He Yuzhu will not have an easy time in the years until his retirement.

Because he is a soldier.

However, if he didn't say it, He Yuzhu was afraid that the old ladies in the family or little He Wu would "indiscriminately" be kind.

You have to know that human nature, just like what the book friend said, is the only thing in the world that cannot be looked at directly, along with the sun.

He Yuzhu really saw it in later generations.

At that time, some kind of "reasoning" APP was popular.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a "Ponzi scheme" and kindly advise those around him not to get involved.

But the result?

When others made money from this APP, the "kind-hearted person" was blamed by those around him.

"They are just afraid that we will make money."

Then various deposits and loans are invested.

But when this APP collapsed and ran away, the "people around him" lost all their money and were heavily in debt, and they began to blame this "kind-hearted person" again.

"Why didn't you persuade me at that time, huh? You saw it and didn't buy it, so you asked me to buy it, right? You just can't stand seeing me do well."

There is no mention of the causes at all.

Some people even said, "Why couldn't you persuade me more at that time? If you had persuaded me more, would I not have been able to do this?"

Alas~~~~

In the end, the “good-hearted person” is neither popular nor welcome.

"Cough cough."

This time, it was the sound of He Yuzhu's light cough.

"Okay, let's listen to Dad about this."

After saying that, He Yuzhu looked at Guo Yao.

"Second brother's wife, you graduated from Shuimu University. Do you know any professors in the mathematics department of your school?"

He Yuzhu's idea is very simple.

Join together with several "important" people in the fields of mathematics or finance to submit a report.

to be frank.

Don't think he is two stars now.

But he is just a logistics person.

At most, he is a teacher teaching logistics in the highest military institution.

If he reported this matter himself, it would probably fall on deaf ears due to the characteristics of the current era.

Guo Yao, who was standing by, was stunned by He Yuzhu's sudden question.

However, Guo Yao quickly reacted and nodded.

"Dad, I know him. My former teacher's wife is a professor in the mathematics department. Moreover, she has been transferred to the finance department as a professor. I will call him tomorrow."

(Although Shuimu only admitted its first undergraduate finance students in 93, it was established in 85. So there is nothing wrong here.)

"Okay, it would be even better if there's someone from the Finance Department."

He Yuzhu nodded.

"But there's no need to be so anxious. It's New Year's Day, and it's not nice to disturb others."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Guo Yao nodded and agreed.

Shi Xiaona, who was standing by, also understood what He Yuzhu meant and spoke up.

"Although our school doesn't have a finance department, we do have a mathematics department. I'll see when the time comes. If it doesn't work, I'll go find them again."

"Okay, let's do this first."

Just like that, a good New Year's Day was spent in a shabby way.

The next day was the second day of the Chinese New Year.

According to tradition, it should be the day to return to one's parents' home.

However, He Yuzhu had no time to take Shi Xiaona back to Wang Fengmin today, nor did he have time to take care of He Yushui and her family coming over.

I went to school in Xiao Huang's car early in the morning.

After all, some things still need to be prioritized.

For example, someone like He Yuzhu, who had contact with and chatted with a "foreigner" who was nominally a "foreigner" and had a history of "rebellion", had to report it.

This is also the reason why He Yuzhu ordered his guards yesterday to follow him at all times.

Moreover, He Yuzhu had nothing else to do, so he asked the Security Department to check the "LAFxxx" mentioned by Xu Wude and Xu Damao, as well as the people Xu Wude and Xu Damao had contacted after they returned recently.

And there are the downline they developed.

A few days later, the information He Yuzhu wanted to check came back.

There's nothing good to say about that company.

Everything is so "normal".

However, He Yuzhu was surprised to see that Xu Wude and Xu Damao had developed some downlines from the people they had come into contact with in the past few days since they returned.

Good guy.

From the district and street level to the neighborhood level.

There were even some people from a certain bureau in the district's higher-level unit.

Almost everyone with some spare money has joined.

Especially those residents in the courtyard.

Those who were retired, had pensions and some savings, led by Yan Laosan, all joined.

However, what is strange is that Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong did not join.

its not right.

Logically speaking, these two people should be the ones with the highest pension and the most savings in the courtyard.

But these two people didn't join.

Moreover, the Jia family, who now lives like a family with Yi Zhonghai, did not join.

It was Banggeng who secretly got involved.

Strange things.

Weird.

Is Jia Dongxu so powerful when he is alive?

Forget it, I don't want to.

To put it bluntly, as long as everything is fine at home, that's enough.

As for everyone else.

There is a saying in the chicken strips: this is fate.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the school started to work.

The professor that Guo Yao was looking for was also found and met with He Yuzhu.

Otherwise, why do they say “professional matters should be done by professionals”?

He Yuzhu, who was chopped, spoke very clearly in front of those people who had "only a half-understanding".

However, in front of these people who have been studying mathematics and finance all their lives, it is completely inadequate.

The expert will know if it is there as soon as he reaches out his hand.

Whenever people talk, they are either talking about this “model” or that “data”.

It's either an argument or a proof.

But it was He Yuzhu's turn.

“Uh... I guess”, “Probably”, “Maybe”, “Probably”, “Perhaps”. . . . .

have to.

He Yuzhu is sharing what he knows and what future generations may or may not understand.

Even after telling these professors about the "Ponzi scheme," nothing happened.

However, He Yuzhu discovered a problem.

Why is it that when he talks about "such and such in foreign countries", "such and such handling of this issue in foreign countries", and "others only try to remedy the situation after being cheated and left to pieces", there is always someone jumping out to refute He Yuzhu?

Even He Yuzhu, who had experienced the "information explosion" in later generations, did not listen to what was said.

have to.

Being idle is also idle.

He Yuzhu returned to his school.

Just say "check him".

Okay.

The truth is revealed.

When He Yuzhu saw the information of this "beast", he almost burst out laughing.

OK OK.

He Yuzhu's report on "pyramid scheme" may fall on deaf ears.

But.

He Yuzhu is a professional counterpart to the "Robin" report.
