Chapter 144 How could you do this?
"You old-fashioned guy, do you understand science? Digging wells is illegal, and now there is no water from the wells, so you should use groundwater.
But I can distill water from the air. I can distill water from the desert. Do you think I can distill water from here? My method is low-cost, quick and convenient, and works quickly. It is better than digging a well. If you were not my classmates, I would not give you this benefit.
The students calculated carefully and found that they only needed to refer 10 people to make their investment back. And if each of those 10 people referred another person, they would get 10 work points, which is equivalent to 5 bottles of water. If those 10 people referred another 10 people, they would get 100 work points...
Greed and desire took up most of my mind. What could I do with 100 work points? I could buy 50 bottles of water, 50 servings of white rice, and never have to eat maggots again. If I worked harder, I could not only drink as much water as I wanted every day, but I could also eat white rice. Oh my god, how good would that be?
Jingshu saw her past self in their eyes. Although she was worried that she might be cheated and that there was no such thing as a free lunch, Zhang Lingling's next words dispelled everyone's concerns.
Zhang Lingling pulled out her phone and opened the app that dominated the screen:
"Why are you still hesitating? Our company is legitimate. Come download the app and register... There are about 20 of you, so you can split into five groups. One person can buy first, and then send invitation codes to the others. Wouldn't that save you 4 work points? If you don't have any work points, just write an IOU and I'll cover it for you, but there's 1% interest."
After Zhang Lingling said this, some of the skeptical people no longer felt wary and asked Zhang Lingling what the process was and how to do it.
"Just scan my invitation code and download it directly. Then I'll go to the supermarket and transfer work points from your account. If you don't have enough, I'll lend you some.
Come to my house to get the distiller, and then you can send your own invitation code to introduce others. If the purchase is successful, the return work points will be recorded in it. "
When I heard that even work points could be borrowed now, why would they lend them work points if they were scammers? Besides, we were classmates for several years, so they wouldn't be scamming people, right?
Due to severe inflation, the country has implemented virtual currency which is only used to purchase food and water, but recently small-scale transactions have been allowed, but they must be traded in the supermarket trading area.
Wang Chao then asked, "This virtual currency is only recorded in the app. It can't be used in supermarkets or to buy food."
Zhang Lingling said, "Right now, the country hasn't opened up virtual currency trading policies yet. It will be open next year. So when you have accumulated 10 work points, come to me and I'll take you to the supermarket to exchange them for you."
So, Zhang Lingling arranged everything. Everyone calculated that this was a business that could earn 100% work points, so they downloaded the app that Zhang Lingling mentioned. Since they had no money to spend and were not afraid of viruses, they completed the process as Zhang Lingling said.
The app is very simple. It roughly shows who I introduced, how much virtual currency I earned, the existing virtual currency, and the appointment to withdraw virtual currency. Although it is simple, it is clear at a glance, giving everyone the illusion that money makes money.
Then the group went to the supermarket to transfer the virtual currency to Zhang Lingling's name.
It is good enough for an ordinary family to have a few virtual coins, but these students basically have seven or eight virtual coins on them. They plan to borrow some more to make up the total of 16 virtual coins and give them all to Zhang Lingling.
"Jingshu, Yao Zixin, aren't you buying anything?" Zhang Lingling counted the number of people and found that everyone had bought something except the two of them. She couldn't help but frown. "Everyone else has bought something, but you two don't. What's the point?"
This was using the herd mentality to put pressure on people. Yao Zixin coughed and said weakly, "Well, then, make one for me too."
The crowd quieted down and looked at Jingshu again, some with doubt, some with jealousy, and some with disdain.
In her previous life, Jingshu also dreamed of earning virtual currency, having enough water to drink and enough rice to eat, but what was the result?
The result was that the uncle's family, Su Meimei's family, and the three of them each bought a distiller, spending 60 work points, and then they asked their relatives and friends to buy this.
thing.
It took a lot of effort to mobilize a lot of people to earn back the 20 virtual coins, but the problem came. The water produced by the distiller in a day was not even as much as the amount of saliva.
Her uncle, Su Meimei and other family members also found that there was a problem with the distiller, but for their own interests, they said that there was no problem with the distiller and continued to recruit people.
Jingshu stood up to question the behavior of a pyramid scheme scam, but was attacked by people who wanted to protect their own interests. They said that their own distiller could distill water and attacked Jingshu. She immediately quit the group.
Later, one reason was that the artificial sun had been in use for a while and there was no water shortage. The other reason was that there were too many people involved, so many people in Wucheng spent 20 work points to recruit people. But since there was no water shortage, they naturally couldn't recruit people, so they lost 20 work points in vain.
The incident became a big deal and the government found the source and dealt with it, but it was of no use.
One percent of people earned several thousand work points, one tenth earned 20 work points, and the rest were cheated. Those who earned virtual currency had already spent it all on buying water and food.
Because of this incident, Su Meimei and her aunt's family blamed her, saying that why would such a scam only target their own family? Their family spent 60 work points and had not yet earned back their money.
In this life, Zhang Lingling actually asked her, what does it mean?
"This distiller doesn't produce much water every day, so I won't buy it. If I introduce it to a friend and they're not satisfied, they'll blame me." Jingshu also wanted to expose this scam, but isn't there anyone smart here? Yes.
There are also people here who do not lack water, but they still choose to buy distiller to introduce more people and earn these 2 work points.
Besides, she remembered how strongly some people reacted after she said it was a scam in her previous life.
That was all she could remind him.
"Jingshu is right. I heard that the solar still needs sunlight and moisture in the air. Now there is no sunlight and there is less moisture in the air. How can it be distilled? Forget it, I don't want it."
Mu Xiaoxuan said.
Zhang Lingling smiled stiffly. "Mu Xiaoxuan, you've already registered on the app. I've already submitted your information and I've transferred 20 virtual coins from you. So you can't refuse it. You can introduce someone else to buy it."
"But the goods are not good. Wouldn't it be a rip-off for them if I introduced them here?" Mu Xiaoxuan shook his head. "I don't have any work points now, so I don't want it."
Wang Chao scolded him, "Mu Xiaoxuan, if you don't want it, I'm going to increase my work points by 2, and Xie Zihao will also get an extra work point. How could you do this?"
