In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 847: Savage’s bad luck (Part 1)

"The Days of Being a Spiritual Mentor in Meiman"

In Savage's plan, the process of radiating the entire Eastern District from living **** and even conquering Gotham can be said to have ups and downs.

After almost ruling the Living Hell, he began to expand his territory and wanted to spread his influence to the entire Pan Living Hell area, but at this step, he encountered unprecedented difficulties.

The big gangsters around seemed to have eyes in the back of their heads, and they could immediately notice any movement of Savage.

And they are also very despicable, cheating and sneak attacking all day long, all the trucks that Savage transported goods were intercepted by them, all the informants they sent out were kidnapped by them, even the merchants who sold weapons would be robbed .

Things have developed to this point, Savage has invested millions of dollars, and he now has a very solid base, it is impossible for him to give up.

If there are no trucks to deliver goods, hire them at a high price, then hire people at a high price, buy weapons at a high price, and spend a high price to build a transportation logistics security system.

If the dispatched intelligence personnel can't come back, then they can recruit them in the living **** at a high price, or spend money to bribe the newsboys outside.

Businessmen who sell weapons can't come in, so they will find an intermediary at a high price. As long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem for Savage.

After spending a lot more money, Savage found that there was really progress. He expanded the scope of activities again, and almost included the entire area around the living hell.

In this way, as long as he spends money, there will be progress, but once there is no capital investment. Then he stopped, and after repeated several times, Savage found that he had become a little numb to the figures of the money spent.

To put it simply, he has been domesticated.

In the beginning, he took a step back in the face of Batman's threat of force, and felt that he should avoid the edge for the time being. Everything was for the greater good, so he planned to change to another hotel.

But facing the hotel, he took another step back, and came to the East District to rent a house. In the process of renting a house, facing the gangsters guarding the living hell, he took another step back, and then retreated again and again.

During this process, it's not that he didn't realize what he lost. For example, when the first newsboy came to him and asked him to order newspapers and milk at a high price, he knew that he must be slaughtered .

However, he calculated the gains and losses related to his career in his mind into reality. Although he didn't actually get anything, his brain was telling him that his plan had moved forward.

This kind of progress is virtual and an illusion. He has actually paid money before he has made actual progress. This is actually the first step of domestication.

Afterwards, this domestication process was carried out again and again, each time before Savage had made actual progress, the actual money had already been spent, and after that, some actual progress would be made, but These developments are different from what he expected in his mind, and often much less than what he expected in his mind.

Imagine first, then spend money on the imagination in your mind, and then accept the reality that it is not as good as imagined. After repeating this process many times, a thinking process will be perfectly domesticated.

That is to say, if I spend money on an imagination that cannot be realized in reality, I am also spending money on myself, so as long as I spend money on myself, I will make a steady profit.

And once the gap between imagination and reality is too wide, the reality that finally lands cannot meet the expectations of imagination, which will make people feel anxious.

For example, after Savage led the gang in the entire living hell, he found that the situation here was not satisfactory, and it could not provide him with as much help as he imagined for his great cause.

But after discovering this fact, he will not choose to give up, but will plunge headlong into this pit, no matter who persuades him, he will not be willing to leave.

On the one hand, because of sunk costs, on the other hand, his thinking process has been domesticated and more single-threaded.

Running plans over and over in his head, spending money on them, getting less than expected results...he's quite receptive to it all.

Originally, the money paid and the actual results obtained should be equal, but as long as imagination is mixed in it, even if they are not equal, people can find an excuse to convince themselves.

Savage paid a huge amount of money. If these funds were injected into a city on the east coast that is slightly worse than Gotham, he might have ruled the whole city now, but as long as he added his imagination of ruling the entire Gotham, Then he will feel that the present pay is worth it.

Devotion, return, and imagination are like three young men and women who have a complex triangle relationship, and everyone looks like a third party.

Whether the investment is rewarded, whether the investment follows the imagination, and whether the return satisfies the imagination represent three different value judgments. As long as someone guides one of them, the value can be distorted, and the gains and losses of the lake can be simulated, so as to achieve deception. human purpose.

When the domestication was at the end, Savage didn't feel the loss, he could only understand the investment and return and the distance from imagination, so he almost instinctively wanted to invest in it.

To put it bluntly, this is a hoax scam set up by the entire Gotham City for Savage.

At the end of the slaughter, the victims will always instinctively invest a lot of money, and even the closest relatives cannot be persuaded to come back, because their behavior and thinking patterns have been domesticated very firmly.

If you invest, you will get a little return. If you don’t invest, you will get nothing, and even the principal and feelings will be lost. Savage has no choice. He just wants to keep going until the comeback.

The liquidity in his hand had bottomed out, so he began to sell his collections. At the beginning, he sold some things that were not worth collecting, such as modern cultural relics and artworks.

It's very strange that logistics vehicles and arms dealers can't come in, but antique dealers can come in, and the new antique dealers are very talkative, asking prices are cut in half, and there is no room for bargaining, love If you sell it, you will sell it, if you don't sell it, you will fall down.

Savage wanted to choose one with a higher price, but he found that the later the people who came, the lower the price. On the contrary, the first few antique dealers who came here were quite sincere. Said that he would buy a lot.

In the end, Savage established a cooperation with several of the antique dealers, who helped them distribute these artworks and collectibles, and exchanged the collections in their hands for cash.

[A book recommended to me by an old book friend who has known me for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It’s so easy to use. I use it to pass the time while driving and before going to bed. You can download yeguoyuedu here.]

After selling a wave of collections and getting some working capital, Savage felt that he should first build a sustainable base and develop businesses within the living **** first.

The next step is to spend money to build shops, expand transportation routes and reduce warehouses and transshipment points, recruit people to open businesses, and implement various policies to gather people here. Savage even came up with rent subsidies and reductions. Just to enhance the vitality here.

Perhaps many people know that the biggest source of income in the gang industry is not collecting protection fees on the spot, but smuggling. The cost of smuggling is low, but the output is high. Apart from being more dangerous, there are almost no shortcomings.

Savic has no smuggling channels and only refers to the local industry, which means that he has to spend a lot of money like a normal enterprise to build a business district.

The population density of Living Hell is very high. If you want to fully develop the business here, money will be spent like flowing water.

Savic's family background is quite strong, and after selling those not-so-respectable collections, he brought out some treasures to attract those antique dealers.

Savage originally wanted them to bid, but unexpectedly, these antique dealers collectively lowered the price as if they had made an appointment. You are lower than me, and I am lower than you. They don't care whether Savage sells it or not.

Savage finds this odd, because it's okay to say that the lesser collectibles don't sell well, and many of his items are masterpieces.

Including the authentic works of many famous painters, it is hard to find a painting in the world, and even some works will definitely cause a global sensation as long as they are shown, but these antique dealers seem to be blind, and they will not let go of the price.

It’s not that Savage has thought of other ways, such as going outside to find some formal art companies to go through the auction process, but in this case, it will be too time-consuming, from appraisal to publicity to auction, it can take as long as a year , slow for several years, it is only suitable for those rich old people who are not short of money in a short period of time.

Of course, he can also directly contact those wealthy private buyers, but the problem is that no one endorses him, and private buyers cannot be sure of the authenticity of these works.

It is impossible for Savage to tell them that I have lived for 50,000 years, and I picked this up at the scene of Michelangelo's sculpture, right? Even if he said it, the other party would definitely treat him as a psychopath.

But it's all about appraisal, and it's the same process as an art company. If you want to sell it quickly, you have to accept a lower price. The antique dealer repeatedly instilled this idea in Savage. , to sell their collections.

The one who bought these collections was the leader of the twelve families.

"I don't understand, professor, why should the leaders of the twelve families take over these collections? And at a lower price?"

In the office, Alberto looked at Schiller standing in front of the whiteboard and asked. Bruce was sitting on his left, and Victor and Coppert were sitting on his right.

Schiller tapped the whiteboard with the pen in his hand and said, "What do you think the twelve families bought these products for?"

"Well..." Alberto thought for a while, and said, "The Falcone family also bought some, we mainly want to keep them for our own collection, after all, we also know. Compared with many families with a long history , we lack heritage, and these real works of art, no matter what age they are, as long as human civilization is still there, they must be valuable.”

"However..." Alberto changed his voice, and he said: "As far as I know, many people in the Twelve Families are planning to wait for a high price to sell. Yes, maybe it will be even hotter in the future, now you can get these treasures at a low price, and sell them at a high price in the future, and you can make money while lying down."

Schiller nodded, and then said: "No matter which one, I don't think they will choose to make a move in a short time~IndoMTL.com~, right?"

Alberto nodded and said: "Of course, anyway, I plan to collect it myself. The elders of the twelve families will probably keep the more precious ones for their own collection, and even if they want to sell them, they should I will also find an auction house, and it will take at least a year and a half to complete the process."

Schiller smiled and said, "That's enough."

"What do you mean?" Bruce looked at him and asked, "Why do you have to ask people from the Twelve Family to buy these collections?"

"Now you have no money, where does it come from?" Schiller asked.

Bruce narrowed his eyes and asked, "From what?"

"Actually, it's not that you don't have money, you just don't have time." Schiller tapped the whiteboard again and said, "Your strategy is to build everything before the gang reacts, so as to prevent them from overreacting." , so a large amount of investment is required in a short period of time, which will lead to a shortage of liquidity.”

"I have to do this." Bruce said: "Once the time drags on for too long, after they realize it, they will inevitably gather for armed resistance. At that time, the whole city will be dragged into war."

"But what if they voluntarily drag you along and give you time to make money?"

"Why would they voluntarily drag me along?" Bruce thought for a while, and said, "The leaders of the Twelve Family are not stupid. Once they find out that these transformation plans are actually digging their roots, they will immediately React."

"But at this time, your attitude is very important." Schiller looked at Bruce and said, "It seems that you didn't pay attention to the behavioral class."

"How they react depends on what they think you want to do, and what they think you want to do depends on how you behave."
