Chapter 1543 Football Mode
Xiao Peng and his friends were eating skewers there, while Zeke Brightman returned to his party. As soon as he got back, he was surrounded by people who asked, "Zike, what are those people doing?"
Zeke Brightman said, "They came from the Netherlands. I can tell what they do. The Daxia guy is called 'Boss Xiao'. As for the others, they're not good at talking. Xiao was cool when he was dealing with the police just now, but it was boring to talk to him. He's probably planning to get his lawyer's license. They all look like a bunch of 'Neds'. Otherwise, why wouldn't they come when I invited so many beautiful women here?"
"Tsk, that's boring!" Zeke Brightman's friend said with disgust, "It was quite amusing to see them arguing with the police just now."
Zeke Brightman shook his head and said, "Here, give me a bottle of champagne as a return gift. These people from Europe are really boring. This is not New York or Los Angeles. When did Texans drink champagne? Only sissies drink champagne!"
"Haha, the girls here don't drink champagne either!" His friend took the champagne and said, "I'm going to throw this stuff in the wine cabinet. Oh, by the way, Fore just called and said they want to come over too."
"Foul? How did he find time to come here?"
"He said he was bringing a group of girls over, and among them was Anat."
"Anat is coming too? Why did he bring her here?"
"God knows why! Maybe he has a strong taste?"
Xiao Peng and the others didn't hear what they said. If they had heard it, they would definitely look helpless.
What do you mean by Bruch and the others being "bad at conversation"? How could a subordinate interrupt a boss while he's talking to someone else?
They called Xiao Peng "Boss," but Jake Brightman thought his name was "Boss." It wasn't surprising: Xiao Peng's current attire didn't look like a boss at all. And look at them all eating skewers and drinking beer together, with Xiao Peng cooking—not the boss's way either! It's just the same word, and there are plenty of people with "Boss" in their names!
At this moment, Bruch, who he called "not good at conversation", was chasing Xiao Peng to ask about the Block couple. They also wanted to know why Xiao Peng had such a low opinion of these two people but hoped that there would be such people everywhere in the United States.
This is quite contradictory!
"Alright, alright, you guys are just curious!" Xiao Peng took a bite of the skewer and said, "Do you remember what I said just now?"
"Um, boss, you said a lot just now." Elsa said after taking a sip of beer.
Xiao Peng said, "I'm talking about apologizing to all Europeans."
Bruch said, "Boss, your exact words were, 'I just want to say sorry to all of Europe. I used to think Europe was full of idiots, but now that I'm here, I realize that Europeans are incredibly smart compared to here. But think about it, how smart can you expect these people to be in a country where 75% of public schools don't even teach evolution?'"
After hearing what Bruch said, several people turned to look at him.
"Don't look at me like that. It will be good for you to remember every word the boss says!" Bruch said lightly.
Aisha thought for a moment and said, "Does that include the boss's curse words?"
"Uh, let Kasin learn that on his own." Bruch said, "Boss, what on earth are you talking about with the Brocks?"
Xiao Peng said, "The polarization in the US is extremely severe. The smart ones are smarter than anyone else, and the dumb ones are dumber than anyone else. Their national structure is similar to football, where the quarterback leads a group of strong men. Basically, it's a small elite working with a group of idiots. But there's a problem with this model: it adds a bunch of simple-minded people. If it were like a few decades ago, when everyone could only get information through newspapers and television, this model would be very efficient and one of the important reasons for the US's rapid growth. But now, with the information explosion of the internet, people are exposed to a wide variety of information every day, which creates another problem: how to distinguish the truth from the falsehood of this information. It's very cheap to spread rumors online. And online rumors have several characteristics. Do you know what they are?"
Bruch gave a direct answer: "Boss, you said that those online rumors are either the most infuriating or the most frightening. Oh, and then there are those scams - they specifically target those who want to get rich overnight!"
Xiao Peng nodded. "Yes, for example, there are countless rumors like 'If you experience XX symptoms, you're not far from sudden death,' or 'The latest lucrative investment project.' I don't know if you've noticed, but the more clueless people are, the more likely they are to believe these things. Especially those who have been scammed out of their money. After all, basically, those who are easily tempted by small profits are all clueless, right?"
"Boss, let me tell you, Elsa was deceived before!" Kaiser said, "He's just an empty-headed person!"
Elsa said angrily, "Why are you bringing up those old things? The boss is talking about serious matters. Aren't you interrupting his train of thought?"
Xiao Peng laughed and said, "You know being fooled is shameful? Aisha, you need to enrich your brain in the future so you won't be fooled!"
After hearing this, Elsa nodded without saying anything, but Bruch asked, "Boss, what does this have to do with the Bullingers?"
Xiao Peng explained, "The more clueless people are, the more they like to show off. That's why idiots are particularly fond of conspiracy theories. To put it bluntly, they try to gain more influence by showing they have 'inside information others don't know.' When they share and spread various conspiracies, they feel the pleasure of 'everyone else is drunk, but I'm the only one awake,' or 'you're all fools who have been deceived.' And those scammers, on the other hand, create conspiracy theories to attract supporters and ultimately defraud them of their money. Without exaggeration or slander, the United States has the highest concentration of scammers and charlatans in the world. The Bullocks are among them, even the best!"
"Don't the Americans care about people like this?" Aisha asked in confusion. "In my hometown, people like this would be stoned to death!"
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "Where is this place? The Americans who hold high the banner of freedom, they say it's 'freedom of speech'. You deserve to be deceived! Just look at the title of this book: 'Genetically Modified Genes - The Ubiquitous Threat'. It's a standard conspiracy theory title."
"Can they get money by doing this?" Aisha asked puzzledly.
"Can you make money?" Xiao Peng shook his head after hearing this. "Can you please remove the 'ma'?! Aisha, give me your phone."
Aisha gave Xiao Peng her phone. Xiao Peng logged into Facebook, searched for a video, and returned the phone to her, saying, "Take a look at this video."
