Chapter 820: Chapter 292: Kind Words Can’t Persuade the Damned
And after signing to exchange cars.
Even if they regret it, because of sunk costs...
They still won’t admit their mistakes, they’ll hypnotize themselves, insisting that what the master said must be correct.
"The trick of pyramid schemes..."
Qin Mu sat in the corner, looking at Nie Yunxiao.
His expression was somewhat grave.
Having lived two lifetimes.
He was deeply aware of the strong harm of pyramid schemes.
Even after several severe crackdowns, they’re still numerous all over the country.
The forms of pyramid schemes...
Have undergone many changes, evolving with the times, making them hard to guard against.
Take the insurance industry, for example.
Even those legitimate insurance companies have cases of using pyramid schemes to recruit heads.
Just joining the industry.
Requires professional training, and the first lesson is to recruit a customer to buy insurance within a month.
Otherwise, they can’t officially join.
And those new entrants have neither eloquence nor experience.
Often they target friends and relatives, persuading them to buy insurance.
Under this layer of relationships, usually, one recruit is a success.
And once they taste the benefits.
They will sweep all development-friendly relatives, earning a wave of money.
Until...
No relatives are willing to buy insurance.
Then they can’t recruit others to buy insurance, eventually leading to unemployment.
The insurance company continues to recruit new employees, using the same trick, to increase company business.
This method.
In essence, also belongs to pyramid schemes.
Except...
The insurance companies do it flawlessly, leaving no verbal or written traces of pyramid schemes or guidance.
Operationally, it’s only two-level distribution.
Not three-level.
So it completely doesn’t constitute a pyramid scheme.
And what Nie Yunxiao does is even more blatant, disclosing everything throughout.
Revealing that this is a commercial promotion activity.
These "chives" lie gullibly on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.
According to the relevant definition in criminal law.
Illegal pyramid schemes must meet two conditions simultaneously.
First, the number of participants exceeds thirty people; second, the hierarchy is more than three levels.
Clearly.
Nie Yunxiao also doesn’t meet the criteria for organizing a pyramid scheme crime.
At most, it’s commercial promotion exploiting the masses.
If he wants to stand up and stop now...
These classmates probably wouldn’t appreciate it, instead, they’d think he’s ruining their chance at success.
Some people only realize the pain after hitting rock bottom themselves.
Others’ warnings...
Don’t have much effect.
Qin Mu sat in the corner, observing coldly, without moving.
As for the car exchange...
The car he has now is worth nearly two million, so he has no intention to replace it.
And thirty minutes later.
The people in the venue mostly completed their transactions, signing contracts with satisfaction.
Of course.
There were also people who wanted to exchange cars but lacked the funds.
"How long does this event last? Selling the house will take another week or two to get the funds, don’t worry, I must exchange this Porsche!"
"Why not wait for two days, I’ll borrow some money from relatives, and the day after, I’ll definitely gather the down payment!"
"I’m a loyal fan of Master Nie, listened to his lectures seven or eight times, can you give me a discount? I’ll take my dad’s pension, the money should be enough then."
"My wife still has some money, I’ll go back and discuss it with her..."
"..."
In front of different brand salespeople.
Those short on funds kept speaking nicely, hoping for a few days’ grace.
Judging by the stance...
They’ve made up their minds, they must exchange cars.
In the corner.
Qin Mu frowned, staring at a forty-something, affluent-looking woman next to him.
She was on her phone, calling family.
Face flushed.
It seemed her car exchange idea was rejected.
Her emotions were extremely agitated.
She hung up furiously.
Looked resolutely, biting her teeth and muttering, "The house is under my name anyway, I’ll sell it if I say so! Once I’m successful, then you’ll realize how wise my decision is today!"
She said.
Picking up her phone, preparing to contact agents to sell the house.
Seeing this, Qin Mu felt some sympathy.
He advised, "This car exchange... consider your capacity, don’t let it lead to family rupture, financial ruin, and this master might be a fraud."
The first half of the sentence.
The middle-aged woman listened, only frowning.
But the moment the second half was finished...
She vigilantly looked back at Qin Mu, retreating several steps.
Snorting, "You fear I’ll be more successful than you, huh? Selling my house is none of your business! Mind your own!"
Having said.
She walked swiftly away from the corner, moving to another direction.
Qin Mu: "..."
Looking at these already enraptured people, he sighed helplessly.
Kind words can’t persuade a ghost bent on death.
The people present...
Probably have their entire minds filled with success, with dreams of becoming the richest in the city, the richest in the province, even nationwide.
One leaf lords the eye.
Preventing them from seeing what’s true, what’s false.
Qin Mu lifted his head.
Looked towards the podium, noticing Nie Yunxiao was already gone.
The "classmates" who completed their car exchange plans stood up one after another, gradually leaving the venue.
Only those short on funds were left, standing in utmost dilemma.
One after another.
Racking their brains to gather money.
"This matter... might be hard to handle."
Qin Mu carefully pondered, grasping the difficulty of the event.
The other party dare host such grand lectures...
No doubt.
They had already consulted legally, knew this wouldn’t break the law, nor be criminal.
The little pampered wife of the old dean was probably also tricked like this.
To awaken themself, unless they crash terribly...
"Ding! A large scale collective event detected around the host, now triggering collective task!"
Just as Qin Mu was in a dilemma.
The system voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Collective task?"
Qin Mu was momentarily puzzled, somewhat unclear.
The appearance of system tasks surprised him greatly.
After all...
System tasks trigger randomly, some events simply can’t trigger.
And this time’s collective task was his first encounter.
"Ding! Collective task has higher difficulty, please host make careful choice."
"Now triggering three random tasks:
One, expose Nie Yunxiao’s true nature, wake those who were fooled;
Two, ensure Nie Yunxiao receives deserved punishment;
Three, intimidate the success-learning industry, dismantling industry scams, preventing more from being deceived."
"Friendly reminder: Completing this task will randomly yield epic-level rewards."
Listening to the system’s voice.
Qin Mu’s eyes sparkled, his expression shifted.
He obtained the system for so long, first hearing of epic-level rewards.
Rare reward skills were already potent enough.
Epic-level rewards...
Must be extraordinary.
"Three!"
Without any hesitation.
He directly chose the third, more challenging task.
...
Meanwhile.
At the back of the venue.
"Mr. Nie, we just did a count, 97 deals have been closed."
An assistant handed Nie Yunxiao a car sales form.
Nie Yunxiao glanced at the form, nodded.
Corners of his mouth lifted.
Revealing a proud smile.
He was an ordinary person with just a junior high diploma.
Yet...
So many elite individuals below the podium were played by him.
In a short lecture.
deals closed!
According to the agreed profit share, he’d earn at least three million this time!
A house in Lianzhou comes out!
Moreover.
This is merely the first batch of well-funded users.
The rest...
Once they gather funds, he expects to make another hefty profit!
"By the way, what I asked earlier, did you handle it?"
Shortly after.
Nie Yunxiao seemed reminded of something, turned to his assistant.
The assistant was startled.
After a moment’s ponder, hurriedly said, "Mr. Nie, I’ve been too busy these days, forgot to instruct the security, I’ll handle it right away!"
What Nie Yunxiao asked...
Was for him to inform the guards about someone named "Qin Mu", ensuring they’re familiar with his appearance.
So they can report immediately when he arrives.
Except...
The assistant hadn’t taken it seriously, thinking Nie Yunxiao was exaggerating.
