Midnight Bookstore - Chapter 341
Chapter 341: Real and Fake
It was past four o’clock in the morning. When the bookstore was about to close, the Little Loli sat behind the bar counter, casually flipping through a comic book in her hand.
Business was bleak. She had sat there all night without seeing a single soul. She had wanted to take advantage of Zhou Ze’s late return to secretly earn some extra money, but it seemed that she had been too busy.
The old priest had already brought the monkey up to rest, and the Deadpool went back to his room after cleaning up. However, Bai Yingying continued to sit on the sofa, playing games on her phone while looking out of the door from time to time.
It was already so late, and the boss was still not back. Yingying was a little worried.
“Hey, stupid zombie, let’s go up and sleep!”
The Little Loli called out to Bai Yingying.
Bai Yingying shook her head and said firmly, “The boss isn’t back yet, what’s there to sleep for?”
The Little Loli shook her head in distress and said, “He’s not back yet, but I want to sleep.”
“I only sleep for the boss.”
The Little Loli raised her hands as if she had admitted defeat. Fine, fine, fine, I admit it. This Little Loli could only sleep.
Jumping down from her seat, the Little Loli stretched her back. At this moment, she saw that there seemed to be something pasted on the glass door. She went over to take a look and saw that it was actually a large poster with a QR code on it. There was also a man holding his phone as a surprise outfit:
“Professional financial management, stable and safe. The interest rate is generous. If you want to manage your money, you can choose the ‘Chicken Treasure’financial management APP!”
“Hey, who posted this?”The Little Loli asked Bai Yingying.
“This old priest posted it. He said that someone came to promote it during the day and paid 3,000 yuan in advertising fees. He asked this poster to be posted on our door for a month. The money has already been put on the public account,”Bai Yingying replied.
“Chicken Treasure financial APP?”The Little Loli smacked her lips. “Nowadays, all kinds of treasures come out. Money Treasure, frog treasure, and now chicken treasure. I’m a little hungry. By the way, let Old Xu Cook Chicken for you tomorrow.”
The oriole rolled her eyes.
“This poster or tear it, stick this thing, down.”Little Loli reached out to tear down the poster.
“Other people will come to inspect it tomorrow. If you tear it down, you have to refund the money to them tomorrow,”Bai Yingying reminded.
“So be it. Anyway, the boss is already so poor. It’s no big deal to be a little poorer.”
“Up to you.”
To be honest, Bai Yingying didn’t really care about the 3,000 yuan.
The layout of the entire bookstore was very strange. The employees were each richer than the last. The poorest one was the boss.
“Wow!”
The poster was torn down by the Little Loli,
it was crumpled into a ball,
“I miss the days when I was in business.”
“You used to do this?”Bai Yingying asked curiously.
“Stupid zombie, I used to be a strong woman in the business world. I’ve seen all kinds of business methods. This is actually a very low-level thing.”
“Huh?”
Bai Yingying’s interest was piqued,
she had money,
she had a lot of money,
but the biggest problem she had now was that other than buying a house, Bai Yingying did not know how to manage her money. Those funerary objects were all dead objects. To be honest, Bai Yingying did not have any feelings for them. It was better to turn them into money, and then money would give birth to money.
Because the boss liked money,
therefore, Bai Yingying instinctively felt that money was a very good thing. It would be fine even if she did not eat or drink.
“I used to make good things bad. I made a good business with good results, great potential, and strong prospects into a bad debt, a pile of bleak prospects, and a trashy business that was nothing more than a bloodsucking worm.
“Anyway, it’s just all kinds of public opinion and publicity, and some specious things, such as collusion between government officials and businessmen.”
“Tell me more about it.”
“You won’t understand even if I tell you.”
“Tell me, or else don’t even think about me sleeping with you.”
“…”the Little Loli.
“Let’s use an analogy. It’s like advertising a diamond as a stone in a latrine pit. The people who built the latrine pit with me back then all thought that it was trash and sold it to me at a cheap price. Then, those people would have to thank me together.
“But in reality, a diamond is a diamond. After wiping the dirt off its body, it’s still a diamond. What I did the most back then was to buy a diamond at the price of a stone. Back then, there were many people who played this game, and everyone basically followed this pattern.
“As for those real trash state-owned enterprises, which idiot would buy it after being kicked by a Donkey?”
“Um…”Bai Yingying nodded, not fully understanding.
“This is a high-level job. Because there are things here, you have to have a lot of means to operate them.
“But this kind of chicken treasure is the lowest level job, because it doesn’t have anything.
“It will brag to you. It took everyone’s money to invest in some enterprise, which industries it did, and which teams it invested in. So I will give everyone a dividend and interest rate that is several times higher than that of the bank. Please rest assured and send me money.”
“Oh…”
“Actually, it’s more or less a Ponzi scheme. Once there’s a run on the bank, it’ll just go straight to GG. Some people in the front may have made money, but they only made the last batch of money to take over the market.”
“Isn’t that silly?”
“Not many people are really silly. Most people just play dumb.”
The Little Loli stretched,
“The key is still to see how you package things that don’t exist. Fake things. If you keep bragging and keep giving him ‘books and biographies,’He can also become real things.”.
As for whether or not he exists, it doesn’t matter
As long as everyone believes that this person exists, it’s fine.
As for whether or not this person really exists..,
no one really cares.”
“It’s a bit profound.”
Bai Yingying rested her chin on her hand as she pondered.
“Alright, let’s go to bed,”the Little Loli said. “When Zhou Ze comes back, we’ll just let him wash himself clean and crawl into our bed.”
“But I still want to wait for the boss to come back.”
The Little Loli took a deep breath, thinking that she had wasted her saliva earlier.
However..,
at this moment..,
a person walked over from outside the bookstore. That person was wearing a suit and was carrying a briefcase in his hand.
At first, the Little Loli thought that the showy lawyer had returned because that person was also wearing a suit. However, upon closer inspection, she realized that something was wrong,
ha!
Business!
The door was pushed open by the other party and the other party walked in confidently.
Alright..,
she had seen many dead souls entering the bookstore in various states, but this was the first time she had seen such high-spirited and confident spirits.
“I’ll go prepare some food.”
Bai Yingying got up and prepared a few cold dishes. Before sending them off, she would entertain the dead souls. This was a value-added service created by the bookstore itself.
“Hey, come here!”
The Little Loli pointed at the man in the suit and then pointed at the private room.
The Man in the suit followed the Little Loli into the private room,
bai Yingying came over with a few cold dishes and poured a glass of yellow wine.
The Man in the suit was eating and drinking happily.
When he finished eating, he could send them off.
The Little Loli yawned.
“Do you want to Be Rich?”The man suddenly lowered his head and looked at the Little Loli and Bai Yingying.
“Yes, yes. We’ll be satisfied if you leave a little more underworld banknotes when you go down,”the Little Loli replied.
“No, no, no. Underworld banknotes are nothing. I’ll give you real money!”
As he spoke,
the Man opened his briefcase and took out a stack of documents.
“This is the business of our company. It’s a professional financial management business with extremely high profits. Our company has invested in many of the world’s top 500 companies, and it’s guaranteed to be profitable!”
The Little Loli almost laughed out loud,
what a dedicated employee..,
even if he died..,
he still did not forget to help his company attract business. For this, the boss had to give him more compensation.
Bai Yingying took the contract and looked at it. The Little Loli also leaned over to take a look. She realized that it was also a promotional advertisement for a financial management APP, but it was much more exaggerated and cool than the chicken cock treasure pasted on the door.
The annual interest rate at the door was only a little more than ten points, but this one was already close to forty points.
“Duck Baby?”The Little Loli glanced at the name of the platform and said, “I just made the news today. Didn’t you say that this platform has been overrun? This platform is already finished. The official website has collapsed. The people who collect debts are all gathered at Huanglong Stadium.”
“Nonsense. How is that possible? I’m the Deputy Manager of our Duck Baby’s business. I have high confidence in our company’s business strength and stability.”
“Then why didn’t you let your parents invest money? Why did you give it to outsiders so cheaply?”The Little Loli asked.
“I did. My Money, my parents’money, even the family’s house was mortgaged to invest in it. My girlfriend’s parents’money was also invested in it. Many relatives and friends were persuaded by me to invest money in it.”
The Little Loli was stunned,
this answer..,
she didn’t know how to accept it.
“But this should be a fake, right?”Bai Yingying said. She had been exposed by the Little Loli before.
“It’s true. It must be true. The Bank Run is only temporary. If you go in now, you’ll definitely make a lot of money in the future!
“I’ll bet my life on it!”
“If you’re dead, what’s there to Bet?”
The Little Loli clapped her hands and urged:
“Okay, okay, stop selling. It’s time to go. Let’s go.”
As she said that,
the Little Loli stood up,
she opened her mouth,
an alluring and lively long tongue stretched out.
“No, you have to listen to me. Buy It. Hurry up and invest in it. Really, you’ll definitely make money.”
Before this salesperson went to the Netherworld Road, she was still sparing no effort in selling it.
“We don’t have the money to buy it. Look, this bookstore doesn’t make money either. The boss has been running it with debts and losses.”Bai Yingying spread her hands and said, “Why are you in such a hurry to ask us to buy it?”
How could a person speak kindly when he was about to die?
It didn’t seem right.
“The underworld is orderly… The Netherworld can be crossed…”
On the side,
the Little Loli’s exclusive BGM rang.
The door to Hell,
it’s open for you..
The Man in the suit was dragged inside in a somewhat desolate manner. He had no way to struggle. At this point, he could only passively force his way in. Struggling was of no use at all.
He was somewhat sad and unwilling. At the same time, he was extremely lost and hesitant
At the same time,
he muttered to himself,
“If you don’t invest in it, how can my parents and my girlfriend withdraw their money..
Someone has to..
Take Over…”
