Zombie's travel diary

Chapter 140 The Ponzi Scheme
"you know me well?"

The middle-aged man was obviously taken aback when he heard Link say that, and said in a slightly hostile tone.

For Link, a stranger who has never met but knows his recent situation, he is full of vigilance.

"I can't say I understand it very well, but I know that you should be short of money now."

Link said slowly, of course he is just guessing now.

On the one hand, guessing caused the man's willingness to talk to him. On the other hand, he was also investigating whether the man met his requirements.

"Who are you and why are you approaching me? What is your purpose?"

The middle-aged man finally became impatient with Link's nagging, and asked loudly.

When Link saw this posture, he knew that this time it was almost inseparable, and he was really fooled!

Then, it's time to set the trap and let the middle-aged man be his first informant!

"Let me introduce, my name is Link, an ordinary person who just graduated and plans to start a business."

Link indiscriminately fabricated an identity for himself.

"Then you don't need to waste your words, I don't have enough money here to invest in your business."

The middle-aged man relaxed his vigilance slightly upon hearing this.

He looked at Link's attire, and it really fit the identity Link said. He was young, as if he had just graduated, and there was nothing wrong with him.

"No, no, you misunderstood."

Link waved his hands again and again, "I'm not here to solicit investment, but to help you get out of trouble."

"Come on, how can you, a fresh graduate, help me?"

The middle-aged man took another sip of his wine and smiled wryly.

After these few conversations, the two sides are a little familiar, but they can continue to chat.

The middle-aged man felt that he was bothered by himself anyway, so he might as well talk to Link and see what kind of moth Link is trying to fix, and take it as a way to relieve the pressure.

Anyway, he didn't think that Link, a fresh graduate, would be able to trick him.

"Why do you think I'm incapable?"

Link smiled slightly, and approached the middle-aged man, "To tell you the truth, I went to a tribe called Xislan some time ago, and found that there is a kind of magic scroll that is of particularly good quality, and the price is very cheap, as long as you buy it there Scrolls, and then resell them to the West Fantasy Plane or other magical planes, and you can get several times the profit if you resell them."

"Oh, and then what?"

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows, but he laughed inwardly.

Come here, come here, I knew that I was going to cheat when I heard the beginning, did I really think that this little thought could hide it from him?

He has now identified Link as a liar in his heart, but he didn't show it. Instead, he was going to continue listening to Link.

Sometimes teasing the little liar can really help him relieve a lot of stress.

"Don't you understand this? This is a huge business opportunity. As long as you buy a large number of magic scrolls in Xislan and sell them to other magic planes, you can double the principal once."

Link's tone was full of temptation.

"Okay, little brother, you're just fooling those country folks, do you really think I don't know much about running business in the plane?"

The middle-aged man finally laughed, "It's not uncommon for the price of the same product to vary many times in different places, but don't think about it, how can that little profit be enough for the transportation cost of the Void Train? Even if it's two The benefits are twice as bad, and it is impossible to get back the money if we really continue to work.”

For example, a pen worth one yuan on plane A can be sold for three yuan on plane B, so if you buy it on plane A and sell it on plane B, you can make a net profit of two yuan!

but.

The tricky point is that the cost of transporting a pen from plane A to plane B is already more than two yuan. With such a conversion, it is safe to make no profit, and the more you resell, the more you lose.

unless.

There is a huge difference in interests, at least more than five times, it is possible to make a profit.

but.

That kind of good thing has been undertaken by the people of the Void Alliance for the first time, and is closely watched by the Void Alliance. Ordinary people have no chance to get a share of the pie.

"It seems that you are quite knowledgeable, but you still don't have enough knowledge. Who said that you will definitely not be able to make back your money?"

Link smiled unabated, "Come on, let me show you something."

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and two miniature space cracks immediately appeared on the bar in front of the middle-aged man and Link.

Snapped!
Link threw his drink into the space crack in front of him, and the next moment the drink jumped out of the space crack in front of the middle-aged man.

"Is this magic??"

The middle-aged man's eyes widened in shock at this miraculous scene.

Ordinary magic certainly wouldn't surprise him so much. Although their Serbian plane is not a magical plane, haven't they eaten pork or seen pigs running?
Thanks to the development of the Void Station, the middle-aged man has seen all kinds of capable people and strangers with magic, so he has really become accustomed to magic.

The reason why he was so surprised was that Link used space magic!
Anyone who has a certain understanding of magic knows that since the civil war on the Western Fantasy Plane, there has been no more space-based magic. Space-based magic has long been a legend.

And now, Link actually possesses such a legendary ability!

"With this ability, I can travel between the two planes at will, and I don't need to transport goods through vehicles such as void stations."

Link put away the space crack, "Now you know why I said that method can be profitable?"

"Understood, understood."

The middle-aged man's eyes became hot.

As soon as Link showed it like this, he understood the business opportunity.

The biggest problem that plagues the plane running business is that the transportation fee is very high, and as long as the transportation problem is solved, the plane running business is definitely one of the top profitable businesses, and the return rate of this thing is far beyond imagination!

"It's good to understand, I believe you have guessed it, my purpose is to let you invest some money, so that I can have the principal to buy goods, and when I sell them, won't I earn the money?"

Link finally revealed his purpose after confirming that the middle-aged man was completely attracted by his proposal.

But this time, his liar image has long since been washed away, and the middle-aged man has been convinced by his space system ability and has established initial trust in him.

"Then how much can I share?"

The middle-aged man hesitated for a while and asked.

"The interest rate is 100 yuan, which means that for every [-] yuan you invest in me, I will give you [-] yuan a week later."

Link said casually.

This is what he had planned long ago.

but.

He would not really run a business, because there are various restrictions on running a business, the most troublesome one of which is the unstable price.

The reason why an item is expensive is because it is rare, and this is also doomed that the price of this item will not be stable. As long as there are more of this item on the market, it is destined to drop rapidly.

If Link really went into business, he might make a lot of money at first, but after making a fortune, when the market is saturated, the business will die, and he will have to look for other items with a higher price difference.

And how can it be so easy to find items with a relatively large price difference?
In short, running a business is not reliable, at least Link doesn't consider doing it, he now has a way to make more money than running a business!

"Such a high interest rate?"

The middle-aged man admitted that he was moved.

Such a high interest rate, and the return period is extremely short, only seven days, and one-fifth of one's own money can be increased in seven days, who can not be tempted?

Now if he invests 100 yuan, it will become 20.00 yuan in one week, and it will become 100 yuan in another week, which is 140% more, that is to say, [-] yuan will become [-] yuan in two weeks!

This is only two weeks, if it is two months?
That would be an extremely terrifying speed of making money!

but.

The heartbeat is the heartbeat, the middle-aged man still maintains some rationality, because the reality can no longer make him too blind.

He is actually the owner of a factory, and his annual income is about [-] yuan.

Don't underestimate the hundreds of thousands of dollars. This income is top-notch in the entire city of Sevier. After all, the money here is more valuable than void coins. One dollar is worth more than ten dollars in other places, and even Dozens of dollars.

In terms of income alone, he is a well-to-do rich man.

Unfortunately, with such a high income, he suffered from an extremely rare disease two years ago. This disease cannot be cured at all with the current level of medical treatment in Serbia, and can only be delayed by special means.

The monthly treatment fee for delaying the disease can be called sky-high!

Even one hundred thousand a year is far from enough, and there is still a big gap to make up. In the past two years, because of this illness, most of the family's savings have been spent.

He has even considered that if he just dies like this, he can leave more money for his family, but unfortunately he never mustered up the courage to really stop the treatment.

By now, the factory has been heavily in debt and is on the verge of bankruptcy.

The project that Link is offering now seems to be able to help him solve his current financial dilemma, but the premise is that what Link said is true and trustworthy!

He is not a fool to be able to open a factory from scratch, and he clearly knows that there is no free lunch in the world.

Like Link said, this project has no technical content at all. Basically, as long as you have money, even if it is not a lot, you are eligible to participate.

In this case, you have to think carefully about why Link didn't go to someone else, but came to him instead.

"What, why are you looking for you?"

Link was stunned when he heard this question, "Is there any special reason for this, that is, you are relatively rich, and you seem to be short of money recently, so you are more likely to invest in my project than other people .”

"Just because of that? Not because of something more special about me?"

"Yeah, that's why."

Link shrugged, "Think about it, as long as you invest some funds, you can charge 20.00% interest for a week. Who would easily believe this? Even if I do have some special abilities, most people probably don't. You must dare to take this risk, but you are different. You should have money now, but for some reason the existing money is not enough, so you have to find a way to make the money in your hand appreciate quickly. At this time, I propose With this project, you are very likely to take the next risk.”

"..."

After listening, the middle-aged man fell silent.

Link's analysis is completely reasonable, he is indeed in such a situation now!
If he doesn't raise money as soon as possible, the funds in his hands will allow him to live for another one or two months at most. Even if it is not because of his own illness, he will be chased and blocked by various creditors and even secretly killed because he cannot pay back the money!
He has no way out, at least he has to triple his existing funds before he can solve this trouble.

And how can it be a simple matter to triple the capital in two months?

At least.

It is definitely impossible to do it with conventional methods, and only a plan like the one proposed by Link can bring him some opportunities.

"How about it, do you want to invest?"

Link looked at his light wrist, "It's getting late, and I don't want to waste our time. If you are really not interested, then I will replace someone else. Anyway, as long as I have The two people with spare money both meet my requirements."

He could tell that the middle-aged man was obviously moved. At this time, he retreated to advance, but he could better force the middle-aged man to make a choice.

really.

After hearing Link's words, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth, "I voted."

"Choose wisely, trust me, you will soon become the richest man in this city."

Link showed a smile, and it was finally done, and it was not in vain for him to spend so much time talking.

To be honest, if he didn't want to make money faster, he could lower the threshold and reduce the investment amount to 100 yuan.

This amount of money can be used by anyone with a slightly wealthy family background, and they don't have to worry about being cheated, which will allow Link to implement his plan faster.

but.

It's too slow to get money like that, what Link wants is to start with [-] yuan!
Only in this way can he collect one billion yuan to build the foundation of the Void Station in the shortest possible time.

"Let me introduce, my name is Foster, and I am the owner of a factory."

After Foster expressed his attitude, he immediately began to discuss the specific details of the investment with Link, "How much investment are you going to want, and how to ensure that I will not be cheated?"

"I want an investment of [-] yuan. As for how I can ensure that you will not be cheated..."

Link smiled, "I'm sorry I can't guarantee it, but I can tell you clearly that if I don't really want to cooperate with you, but just want to cheat money, I can use simpler methods, such as..."

As he said that, he used Professor X's ability and directly manipulated Foster to let him pick up the wine glass in front of him and drink it down in one gulp.

After drinking, Foster felt his uncontrollable body, with a look of horror on his face. He didn't expect Link to have the ability of the spiritual system!
but.

This time he was completely relieved.

after all.

For a power like Link with various abilities, there is really no need to go to such lengths to lie to an ordinary person.
