After hearing what Zhao Feng said, Chen Man looked at the piece of paper in front of Zhao Feng with some confusion, then sighed and said to Zhao Feng.
"Brother-in-law, your idea is too ideal. You have to know that those chickens may suffer some losses. For example, those chickens can't lay so many eggs. What should I do?"
"And there is a probability that chickens will hatch eggs. Even if there are ten eggs, three chickens may not be able to hatch."
As Chen Man said this, he couldn't help but smile, and slapped the paper hard on the table.
"And brother-in-law, you seem to have forgotten that you told me about such a case before when you told me about the Ponzi scheme. Doesn't this constitute a classic Ponzi scheme?"
Zhao Feng laughed loudly, nodded directly, and said.
"Yes, of course I know this is a classic Ponzi scheme!"
"But among the entire Zhou Dynasty, except for me who told you and your sister, who else knew that this was a scam?"
When Chen Man heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and took a breath of disbelief.
"Brother-in-law, do you mean to let me lie to others?"
Zhao Feng shook his head, and Chen Man breathed a sigh of relief. But before he could ask further questions, Zhao Feng's next words made Chen Man's heart fall to the bottom again.
"Of course I'm not asking you to lie to people, but I'm going to lie to people with you!"
Chen Man looked at Zhao Feng in disbelief, then reached out and touched Zhao Feng's forehead, and then tested the temperature on his own forehead.
"There's no wind and cold, so why are you talking nonsense?"
Zhao Feng looked at Chen Man angrily and explained helplessly.
"Although I have used the money in the treasury to buy a lot of chickens, ducks and geese, the number of these chickens, ducks and geese is still not enough."
"If the number of these chickens, ducks and geese is not enough, it is very likely that the success will be in vain, and even the money will not be recovered by then."
"So I have to think of a way to use more money to buy these chickens, ducks and geese. For example, the two things I just mentioned are both scams, but with the mentality of those businessmen, I'm afraid they can't tell the difference at all. come out!"
Chen Man nodded. If Zhao Feng hadn't explained the Ponzi scheme to her, she would have been fooled.
When Zhao Feng told the sisters about the Ponzi scheme before, the two of them were deceived miserably. It was only after Zhao Feng patiently explained that they figured out what the Ponzi scheme was.
In fact, the Ponzi change is very simple, that is, using the money of latecomers to satisfy the profits of earlycomers.
But if this continues, this system will collapse sooner or later, and then all those who come after will turn into leeks and be harvested by them.
Although Chen Man understood the scam, he still couldn't help but sigh when he heard Zhao Feng's words.
"Okay, I understand now that my brother-in-law is not trying to deceive these people, but mainly to allow these chickens, ducks and geese to enter the farmland and eat the locusts, right?"
Zhao Feng nodded vigorously, and then said to Chen Man with a smile.
"You have now become a relatively large merchant in the entire Qingzhou, and I am also relatively famous in the entire Qingzhou."
"If the two of us take the lead, we will definitely be able to convince more businessmen about this matter, and thus attract more people to invest."
"Those people will be saved by then!"
Chen Man looked at Zhao Feng helplessly, then spread his hands.
"But the common people like my brother-in-law can be saved, but what about the money of these merchants?"
Zhao Feng sighed helplessly, he was now forced to have no choice.
If you want the entire farmland in Qingzhou to reach a density of chickens, ducks and geese that can prevent locusts, you will need at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
He took out quite a lot here, a full thirty thousand taels, but even if he took out all the silver from other places, he wouldn't be able to make up one hundred thousand taels.
If a locust plague occurs by then, the losses will be much greater than the loss of hundreds of thousands taels of silver.
For these people, Zhao Feng could only come up with this solution now, so Zhao Feng said to Chen Man.
"Let's wait until the time comes to discuss the business matters. Now we can only take care of these people."
When Chen Man heard this, he had no choice but to nod his head, but still asked in confusion.
"But brother-in-law, why did you ask me to do this? If you ask, my sister and Li Wanyi will definitely help you!"
Zhao Feng chuckled and looked at Chen Man very seriously.
"Because your sister is usually too upright, if you ask her to do these deceptions, she will definitely not agree."
"And Li Wanyi is not as smart as you, so I asked you to help me."
Chen Man suddenly felt helpless. He didn't think of himself when he was doing good things. Was it his turn that these deceptions and abductions came to him?
But now that Zhao Feng has spoken, Chen Man will help Zhao Feng no matter what.
So soon, a chicken, duck and goose futures trading led by Zhao Feng and Chen Man as a participant officially began to appear.
When those merchants saw this futures transaction, they were still confused and instinctively felt that there might be something wrong with it.
After all, this thing has never happened before. These merchants in this era are still very timid. They are still a little afraid to ask them to do these things.
But when I saw that Zhao Feng and Chen Man were both involved, I guessed that Zhao Feng would never joke about his future no matter what, let alone harm his family first, so he handed them all over. money.
The clerk in Chen Man's shop registered here, Zhao Feng couldn't wait to ask.
"How much money do you have now?"
Chen Man looked at the account book and said extremely excitedly.
"There are already more than thirty thousand taels of silver!"
"These merchants are really rich!"
Zhao Feng nodded, but still frowned.
"But it's still not enough!"
At this moment, Li Wanyi appeared outside the door with the housekeeper of Li Mansion, and said to Zhao Feng with a smile.
"Master Zhao, I wonder if our Li family's twenty thousand taels of silver is enough?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Feng's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Li Wanyi in great surprise.
"Really? You actually want to take out 20,000 taels of silver?"
Li Wanyi smiled and nodded, walked over and pointed at the two carriages outside the door.
"I've already brought the money, so how can it be fake? Of course our Li family will participate in this kind of making a lot of money!"
Hearing this, Zhao Feng instinctively felt a little sorry for Li Wanyi, and said with some embarrassment.
"But what if we lose the money in the end?"
Li Wanyi couldn't help but laugh. At this time, she already looked a bit like the head of the Li family.
"If you pay, just pay. It is an honor for our Li family to be able to do business with Mr. Zhao. Besides, the money itself is yours, Mr. Zhao!"
