"Damn, how come everyone's so rich these days? They can even afford to buy things for 4,000 yuan?" Ye Cheng was speechless.
"Hehe, isn't that all because of you, Ye Lao Er?"
"What does this have to do with me? I didn't ask them to buy it!"
“You didn’t make them buy it, but now that you have money, everyone is getting anxious. Suddenly, this opportunity comes along, saying you can become a millionaire. Do you think they wouldn’t be tempted?”
Is this my fault?
“This is a pyramid scheme. We should keep the villagers away from it. No, I have to go and talk to Chen Jinhai about it.”
Although he disliked Chen Jinhai, he felt he still had to say something about it.
"Hey, no..." Before Li the Cripple could finish speaking, Ye Cheng had already left with his cigarette.
"No, wouldn't it have the opposite effect if you went to say it?" Li the Cripple muttered.
Ye Cheng hadn't thought that far ahead; he just wanted Chen Jinhai to tell everyone not to get involved in pyramid schemes.
However, after listening to what Ye Cheng said, Chen Jinhai put down his teacup with an indifferent expression, and then slowly and methodically said,
"Ye Cheng, why are you interfering with other people selling things?"
"I told you, this is pyramid selling, which is strictly prohibited by the state," Ye Cheng said, suppressing his temper.
"You need to talk to the villagers and spread this knowledge, otherwise if something goes wrong, everyone will suffer."
"What could possibly go wrong? I bought something for 4,000 yuan, and I can make it back as long as I sell it. I think it's a great deal," Chen Jinhai said leisurely.
Seeing Chen Jinhai's expression, Ye Cheng understood that this guy thought he was tricking them.
Oh well, I've already said what I needed to say, so I don't care whether they listen or not.
"I've delivered the message: if the pyramid scheme spreads, I'll call the police immediately!"
After saying that, Ye Cheng left without looking back.
Chen Jinhai stood up with a cold face, spat at Ye Cheng's back,
"How heartless! They make money themselves but won't let others make money."
When Chen Jinhai saw Ye Cheng come to him, he didn't think Ye Cheng had any good intentions; he thought Ye Cheng was just there to cause trouble.
He thought about it and realized that, as He Feiyang had said, the sooner he bought this item, the better, then he would be online.
Then I'll ask a few of Chen's brothers to buy some, and then they'll all become my downlines.
Then they sell it, and they really make a fortune.
The more Chen Jinhai thought about it, the more excited he became, and he got up and went to find He Feiyang.
...
For the next two days, Ye Cheng continued to take people out to sea.
They were focused on fishing and making money, working late into the night and returning early in the morning, but they didn't notice that Baiyun Village was starting to fall into chaos.
The first person to buy a massager from He Feiyang was Chen Jinfeng. Ye Cheng and the others had been at sea for several days and were taking a break, so they took a break as well.
He made a lot of money during this period, one was a 20,000 yuan kickback he secretly took, and the other was wages for driving the boat.
However, he knew this was not a long-term solution. The Chen family's large ship had yielded relatively little, and could only barely sustain itself. He would have to find other avenues.
Just then, He Feiyang came to persuade them. Upon hearing that as long as they could sell the products and find buyers, they could sit back and collect money without having to work, they were convinced that they could do so.
This is such a good thing! Isn't this perfect for me?
He had made up his mind: he would buy one first, and then approach the Chen brothers to do the work. They had recently made some money at sea, and if he could get five of them, and they could each get five more, he would break even soon.
If this continues to develop, it will be much more profitable than struggling to make ends meet by going overseas.
After making the purchase, he officially became a salesperson for the "Pais" massager. He organized He Feiyang's sales pitch and then headed to Chen Jinli's house, which was the first downline he planned to develop.
As soon as I entered, I could hear a lively commotion inside.
He looked inside and saw that Chen Jinhai was there too.
but...
He's somehow promoting Pais massagers too.
"Jin Hai, you bought one too?" Chen Jinfa pushed open the door and entered.
Chen Jinhai turned around and saw that Chen Jinfa had also come in with a massager.
Chen Jinli looked at the two men with a headache on his face and said,
"Wait, why did you all buy this thing? Is it really that good?"
"Of course it's great! You'll see once you buy it!" they both said in unison.
Half an hour later, Chen Jinfa came out cursing.
"Damn, just because you're the village chief you think you're so great, huh? You insist on making people buy from you."
The two had been arguing fiercely inside, and only when Chen Jinhai used his authority as the village chief did Chen Jinli agree to buy one from him.
Now that Chen Jinli has been taken down, he has no choice but to look for someone else.
The news spread like wildfire, and soon everyone in the Chen family knew that they could make money by buying massage devices.
Chen Jinhai has already sold two units, and his downline Chen Jinli has also sold one, making a profit of 600 yuan. He was thrilled to see the real money in his account.
This is much more lucrative than working, and now he's wondering who else he can develop a business with.
Just then, there was a commotion at the door, and a group of people rushed in. They were the same people who had raised money to buy the boat, led by Chen Houda.
"Uncle, what's going on here?"
"Jin Hai, we want to withdraw our investment," Chen Hou said bluntly.
"What shares are you withdrawing from?"
"We want a refund for the money we paid for the boat!" Chen Houda said bluntly.
"No way, we just bought this boat a few days ago, and you're already going to return it? We haven't even made any money yet." Chen Jinhai was speechless. How could they do this?
"I don't care, I'm going to withdraw." Chen Houda sat down casually in front of Chen Jinhai.
"We want to retreat too!"
"Yes, we want to withdraw too!"
The others joined in the shouting.
"Alright! Quiet!" Chen Jinhai snapped, standing up and yelling, "Damn it, do you think your home, the village chief's house, is a vegetable market?"
“Tell me why you want a refund. Our ship is still profitable. We may not be making much now, but we will definitely make more later.”
Seeing Chen Jinhai get angry, the others didn't dare to speak and looked at Chen Houda.
Chen Houda wasn't intimidated by him and said directly,
“We want to buy that Feiyang massager. Don’t tell me you didn’t know? You’ve already bought one yourself and sold two. It’s much more profitable than fishing.”
Chen Jinhai looked at Chen Houda and the others in surprise. How did so many people know about this?
Depend on!
Then who will I sell to?
"We need to take out the money and buy a massage device."
"Yes, I want to buy one too."
Chen Jinhai felt a bit overwhelmed; getting a refund wasn't going to be that easy.
Who will refund the money?
Nobody has any money.
"I don't have any money. Besides, everyone agreed to buy it in the first place, right? If you ask for a refund, who will pay you? I don't have that much money." Chen Jinhai shrugged, deciding not to get involved.
"No way, you were the one who took the money, so we definitely have to ask you for it."
"You can't come to me, but I don't have the money! Who can afford 320,000? I can't afford it!"
“Alright, let’s sell them and get the money,” Chen Houda interjected.
