Peerless Genius System Chapter 501 - Indoctrinating

Chapter 501: Indoctrinating

“Since you have already known that these guys are all MLM members, why don’t you arrest them at once?” Xiao Luo asked.

Qiu Yuanjie said with a wry smile, “It is true that MLM an illegal activity, but it is unique since the victims who had been indoctrinated do not realize that they are being cheated. Instead, they think that we prevent them from getting rich, so it is impossible to expect them to accuse the MLM members independently. The only way to implicate them is to catch them in the act and seize any compelling evidence we find.

“And the evidence you’re referring to is the defrauding money?” Xiao Luo asked.

Qiu Yuanjie nodded and replied, “Right.”

“But the gold star lecturer who is convincing them to invest is also your informer. Can’t this sort of illicit money be used to charge them legally?” Xiao Luo said wonderingly.

“Yes, the materials that the informer was provided with for his lectures were provided by the MLM members. So the informer, who is also a witness, can appear in court to accuse those MLM members, along with the huge illicit money. So, that’s enough to convict them.”

Xiao Luo stopped saying anything else and cast his eyes over the platform.

Guan Tong, who was holding a microphone, acted like he disdained to be there. “Don’t listen to their babbling, everyone,” he said, referring to the MLM master of ceremony who introduced him to the public. “There are a lot of exaggerated descriptions of the stories you have heard about me. The marketing pitch is one thing, but the reality is quite another. Just like advertising, the selling point is the most crucial.”

Humm?

Interesting!

Xiao Luo was a little surprised. The audience here was doubtful about Guan Tong at the beginning. Still, when that statement was uttered, he naturally broke down any emotional barriers and made them feel much warmer, which brought their relations.h.i.+p to the next level.

“It is simply ridiculous to make 10 million in six months unless we are the children of power and wealth, holding a strong network of venture capital connections. But then again, if you guys are the children of power and wealth, there’s no need for all of you to come here and invest in what I’m selling you, right?”

The audience burst into laughter since they thought that his words were both funny and also trustworthy. They warmed further toward Guan Tong, and he now had them exactly where he wanted.

Guan Tong continued and said, “To be honest, the most important thing for all of you to take note of—all business activities are inherently risky. It is said in business that ‘same industry, different profits.’ In the same kind of business, while someone can make a lot of money, somebody else can also lose the s.h.i.+rt off his back. It is actually a reality that none of us can ignore, so when we are going to invest in a particular industry, we must have the ability to identify the risks!”

His tone was firm and serious, and his words were convincing.

The more than 3,000 people in the audience immediately perked up. They felt that this guy, Mr. Guan, was trustworthy since he was unlike others who would vow that they’d definitely make a lot of money. Instead, he clearly mentioned the potential risks involved, and it was more like a sharing of experience with everyone, allowing them to feel his sincerity.

“Secondly, you have to consider your own abilities when making a particular investment. In other words, you have to a.s.sess your own knowledge and skills. Do not try to do more than you can. You should be concerned about these two things—the first is whether the investment is safe enough, and the second is whether you can make money. About the security of investment, as I just said earlier, any investment will involve an element of risk; however, risks and opportunities in the market exist simultaneously.”

“So can we earn money? The answer is, of course! But 10 million would be too much; earning millions is still possible. However, that depends on one prerequisite, and that’s what connections you have. After several years of expansion, my network comprises of people ranging from foreign presidents to the owner of a shopping mall in a small town in our country, allowing me to access people on different levels easily. And that’s the reason why I can achieve such success today. But, in my opinion, some of you are not suitable to invest in my project. Even if you do, you won’t make any money at all because your connections don’t work.”

When Guan Tong’s words came out, the crowd in the venue were looking at each other with judging eyes, as if they were trying to ascertain who didn’t have the qualifications, or in other words, they were wondering if they’re qualified enough. But after looking around, they still failed to find the answer, which made them a little uneasy, since none of them wanted to be the one who didn’t have the qualifications.

Xiao Luo was amazed. Guan Tong has been saying that he wanted to be a talented person for years, and now Xiao Luo thought this guy already was.

The statements he made were full of traps. In the beginning, he bonded with the audience, telling everyone the truth to gain everyone’s trust. And then he stated that the investment project was profitable, but not as much as 10 million as they claimed before. Instead, he lowered the standard to mere millions, which strengthened his credibility again. Finally, he judged everyone on whether they were qualified or not, which stirred something in their subconscious and convinced them that they were well-connected and qualified to invest.

He worked on the audience step by step, deepening and solidifying the determination of over the 3,000 who were present to invest!

If Qiu Yuanjie hadn’t told him that Guan Tong was their informant, he would have believed that the guy was a real gold medal lecturer in MLM!

…

…

“Time and tide wait for no man. Seize the opportunity!”

“Take the initiative! Take preemptive steps to make opportunities!”

“We’ll make money together and be successful together!”

After half an hour of speeches, the whole audience got very excited. Guan Tong stimulated the greed, desire, and ambition of more than three thousand people eager to earn money. With fists high over their heads, they kept chanting slogans with him, rhythmically and ma.s.sively.

“They have been completely indoctrinated!”

Even Xiao Luo admired him inwardly, let alone the whole audience, and he was convinced by Guan Tong’s words. If he didn’t know that it was actually an MLM activity in advance, he probably wouldn’t be able to resist the temptation of such an investment as well, if he had 100,000.

“Not only Guan Tong is an informant, but he is also an expert in indoctrinating. Fortunately, he’s on the same side as the police. I can’t even imagine how dire it will be if he is on the opposite. He has made more than 3,000 people mad like crazy in such a short time.” Qiu Yuanjie said, both in admiration and relief.

“Exactly,” Xiao Luo said, totally agreeing with him.

When Guan Tong’s speech ended, more than 3,000 people were scrambling to pay up and invest. Since the MLM members had POS devices, it was very convenient to settle payments online.

Some people did not pay just 100,000, but 500,000 and even 1,000,000. These investors spent almost all of the money they had believing that the more they invested, the more they’d get back.

Looking at the audience scrambling to pay up, Xiao Luo and Qiu Yuanjie shook their heads and sighed. If the police hadn’t gotten involved this time, over 3,000 people would’ve lost all the money they invested. And those who had invested all their money would possibly end up ruining their families.

After all, money is not everything, but without money, one couldn’t do anything. A lot of problems would be caused when there was a lack of it.
