Chapter 512 Silver Scammed Through Skill
Not sharing was not an option, otherwise she wouldn't be able to leave this room. Lin Yuesha took a deep breath and decided to make something up.
Below the stage, Bai Cha made a cheering gesture. What the young lady said would determine whether the two of them could safely leave the courtyard.
"Actually, there's nothing special about it. I just want to give you all an example."
Lin Yuesha's eyes darted around, and she immediately had an idea, knowing how to fool him.
"When we first started out, we sold scented balms that were supposed to bring good luck."
Lin Yuesha had no idea; she only found out from the person sitting next to her.
Who is the target audience for this lucky charm? It must be unlucky people, but there is one group that desperately needs it: gamblers.
First, based on the positioning of the product, it is crucial to identify the target customers. This is even more important than developing a downline. If you develop a group of people and they can't sell a single item, then the person in charge will not benefit.
"Yes, that's exactly right. No wonder Miss Lin is so accomplished at such a young age."
Everyone was flattering and applauding, but Lin Yuesha felt like crying. She couldn't help but feel that being praised for being young and promising by these liars was not a good thing.
She is an honest person, perhaps not a good person, but she would never do anything that goes against her conscience.
But in order to get by, she had to continue making things up.
"And then there are those who are greedy for money; if they're lucky, they can make money, right?"
Lin Yuesha explained that she chose a very wealthy tycoon and placed the Luck-Boosting Dew on him, giving him a free three-day boost to his luck.
"Free? What if he doesn't buy it?"
Someone in the audience asked a question, expressing their confusion about Lin Yuesha's actions.
"Let me finish."
It's just being left there for free; you have to take it back in three days. Before that, you have to sign a contract to prevent the nouveau riche from going back on their word. You can guard against the scoundrel, but not the honest one.
"Then, I inquired about the route the wealthy man took every day and placed purses and copper coins on his usual route."
You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub, and you can't catch a rich man without risking your money. That's why the rich man always found money on the ground, and that's why he believed his luck would really improve.
Three days later, the wealthy man offered to buy the Luck-Boosting Dew, but I refused to sell it to him again.
Lin Yuesha is addicted to talking nonsense, and it's quite amusing that she manages to fool a bunch of swindlers.
"Miss Lin, then why aren't you selling it anymore?"
Selling a bottle earns you silver, and some silver is even returned to you, making the profits very high. The others are getting anxious.
"As the saying goes, scarcity increases value. If someone offers more silver, I'll sell it to that person."
Lin Yuesha added that she had found one of her own people to pretend to steal the perfume and offer more money, with the highest bidder winning.
The last bottle of perfume sold for fifty taels of silver.
However, Lin Yuesha has a follow-up question to raise.
"Yes, what if a nouveau riche finds he can no longer find money and demands a refund?"
Fifty taels of silver! My goodness, this little girl can actually fetch such a high price, that's amazing.
"This is what I meant by the aftermath: you still have to protect this nouveau riche and let him pick up money every now and then."
He doesn't need much; he can pick up money or other things, even just an egg. He'll consider himself a lucky person if he does that.
After maintaining this for a period of time, you don't need to worry about it anymore.
"In other words, you're still involved in honey traps."
The others were shocked. At such a young age, his cleverness was comparable to all of theirs. They were all deeply impressed.
Time was tight, so Lin Yuesha wrote it on the spot. There are bound to be some imperfections, but it's enough to fool these greedy swindlers.
Scammers often only look at money and profits, and are easily fooled by her, without carefully examining whether the logic in the middle is reasonable.
"Alright, let's start dividing the silver now."
After summarizing his remarks, the wealthy gentleman proceeded to the most crucial step.
Bai Cha trembled, but with the door tightly shut, it was unrealistic for the master and servant to offer to leave.
"It sounds like someone is knocking on the door."
Even though Aunt Fu's hearing is already quite poor, she could still hear the loud knocking on the door.
Lin Yuesha was on tenterhooks, guessing that the real Miss Lin had arrived, but her imposter was still there. She absolutely couldn't let that person in.
"Never mind, we're all here now, they might be government officials."
The wealthy man waved his hand, saying that there was a back gate to the courtyard, and that once the rewards were distributed, everyone would be dismissed and the next gathering would be arranged separately.
The reward was not much, just a small bonus for a month or so. Lin Yuesha impersonated someone else and easily obtained two hundred taels of silver.
"Miss……"
Bai Cha covered her face, at a loss for words.
"Miss, should we keep this money?"
Bai Cha felt uneasy and touched her chest; it hurt a little.
"Take it, take it without worry. Why shouldn't I take the money I earned through my own trickery?"
Lin Yuesha reminded Bai Cha to keep the money safe, as it was physical evidence and would be handed over as evidence of the pyramid scheme.
"good."
Bai Cha carefully put away her purse. The wealthy man had already opened the back door, and everyone left in batches.
After taking the money, Lin Yuesha grabbed Bai Cha and ran away. Why didn't she run away now, waiting for the real Miss Lin to come and expose her?
"Miss, I never knew you were so skilled."
If possible, my young lady could also form an organization, and she would definitely be more successful than the wealthy master.
"That's a good idea."
Lin Yuesha seemed to be deep in thought. There are too many women in this world who suffer misfortune. If an organization like the Women's Federation could be established, it would be really useful.
Unfortunately, she is currently short of money. Without money, how can she help poor and lowly women? At the very least, she should open a workshop to provide these people with some work.
The master and servant tried to cross a narrow alley, but found they couldn't; the path was completely blocked.
Lin Yuesha was very anxious because she could take a horse-drawn carriage home once she left the alley.
"Auntie, what happened?"
Lin Yuesha tried to pass through, but the people in front of her were all gathered around watching the spectacle.
"What a terrible thing to do."
The old woman lived nearby. She wiped away a few tears with her handkerchief and said, "Dazhu's wife was beaten to death. The people from the Jingzhao Yin's office haven't come yet, but we understand that they're just blocking her at the door to prevent her from coming out."
Dazhu's wife has it tough. They're a poor family, but she insists on keeping a concubine like a rich man. She doesn't even look at the state of her child, who is emaciated and pale from hunger. All the good food ends up in the concubine's stomach.
What a terrible thing to do!
"Dazhu's wife couldn't take it anymore. She heard that there was a kind of perfume that could make a man change his mind, so she went around borrowing money to buy it. Dazhu was informed on by his concubine. When he found out about it, he came back and gave him a severe beating."
The old woman sighed and lamented, "Dazhu's wife is a virtuous woman who has given birth to many children. How did she end up like this?"
"What kind of perfume can make a man's heart turn back? Does such a thing really exist? The most unpredictable thing is the human heart."
The old woman shook her head and remained silent for a long time before speaking.
