Chapter 711 Cost and Price

“What is a sunk cost?”

Ma Jiaohong asked with a hint of doubt.

Lin Zhengyi: "."

He really didn't expect that Ma Jiaohong didn't know this word.

But then I thought, it seems that the other person has been out in society for a long time.

If you think this way, it seems normal that the other party doesn’t know! ?

Thinking!

Lin Zhengyi still explained to Ma Jiaohong what sunk costs are.

“Sunk costs are.”

After the explanation.

"I think I understand. But what does this have to do with letting Jiu Wenlong come back?"

Ma Jiaohong still showed an expression of confusion on her face and asked.

Lin Zhengyi could tell from her expression that she obviously still didn't quite understand.

However, Lin Zhengyi did not care, but said in simple and straightforward words, "This is directly related to Jiu Wenlong's comeback. Why doesn't Jiu Wenlong pay?"

"To put it simply, he has paid too high a price to turn over a new leaf. His father's death, his own imprisonment, etc. It is precisely because of these heart-wrenching costs that he does not want to make a comeback!"

"And in this case, how can we get him to come back?"

At this point, he paused.

At this moment!
Ma Jiaohong was a little anxious and asked, "How can we get him to come back?"

Hear this!

Lin Zhengyi flashed a barely perceptible smile on his face, and then continued, "He will only make a comeback if one thing happens. That is if he has invested a huge sunk cost in someone or something."

"When the cost far exceeds the price he pays to turn over a new leaf, and when someone or something encounters an accident that requires him to pay to resolve it, he will choose to make a comeback!"

listen!

Ma Jiaohong showed a hint of realization on her face, vaguely understanding something, but still a little confused, and asked, "What should we make him invest a huge sunk cost in?"

After hearing this, Lin Zhengyi didn't say anything, but just looked at her straight.

moment!

Ma Jiaohong understood and immediately asked, "You mean me?"

As she spoke, she seemed to realize that her thoughts were correct. Without waiting for Lin Zhengyi's answer, she became more and more excited and said, "I am his ex-girlfriend. We have feelings for each other, and this feeling is the sunk cost that Jiu Wenlong invested in me!"

"In this situation, if anything happens to me, I think he will definitely come to save me. And if I fall into the hands of a powerful and influential guy, in order to save me, he will definitely need to stand up and wave the flag, come back, gather his brothers from the past, and finally come together to save me."

"And this way, he can be considered to have made a comeback, right?"

Hear this!

Lin Zhengyi: "."

Ma Jiaohong's idea is exactly the same as what she did in the original plot.

But Lin Zhengyi knew that this idea was totally wrong.

In other words, the core of the idea is not wrong. Jiu Wenlong has indeed invested his feelings in Ma Jiaohong, which means he has sunk costs in Ma Jiaohong. If something happens to Ma Jiaohong, he will definitely save her.

However, Ma Jiaohong misjudged Jiu Wenlong's feelings for her.

Ma Jiaohong thought that Jiu Wenlong's feelings for her would make him give up everything to save her, but in fact, although Jiu Wenlong had feelings for Ma Jiaohong, these feelings were completely no match for his desire to change his ways.

This resulted in the original plot where, although Jiu Wenlong wanted to save Ma Jiaohong, he did not go to save her himself in the end. Instead, he turned around and found another person, the prince, who admired Ma Jiaohong, and asked him to save her.

This way, Jiu Wenlong could stay out of the matter.

Ma Jiaohong became more and more excited. She couldn't help but stand up and wanted to turn around and leave to implement her plan.

But Lin Zhengyi knew that if he really let her go, this matter would definitely fail again.

Immediately!

"sit down!"

Lin Zhengyi said with a sneer.

Upon hearing this, Ma Jiaohong subconsciously paused her actions, then turned around and saw the sneer on Lin Zhengyi's face.

Suddenly, she showed a slightly puzzled look, sat down again, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Idiot, if you really do this, you will only be completely separated from Jiu Wenlong, and Jiu Wenlong will not come to save you!" Lin Zhengyi said coldly.

"why?"

Ma Jiaohong couldn't help but frown when she heard this.

"Do you think the feelings between Jiu Wenlong and his father can surpass the feelings he has for his father?" Lin Zhengyi asked in a deep voice.

Ma Jiaohong frowned even deeper after listening to this.

Can the relationship between her and Jiu Wenlong surpass that between him and his father?
This is definitely a problem.

Ma Jiaohong knew that Jiu Wenlong and his father had a very bad relationship back then, but they were father and son after all!

No matter how bad the relationship seems on the surface, who can tell the truth?
Anyway, Ma Jiaohong vaguely felt that the relationship between her and Jiu Wenlong was probably not as good as that between him and her father!

Think of this!

Ma Jiaohong hesitated a little and said, "Maybe not as good as this!"

"This is where the problem lies!"

Lin Zhengyi said in a deep voice, "He turned over a new leaf because of his father's earnest teachings and his last will. In this case, his turning over a new leaf is a reflection of his feelings for his father, and his feelings for his father are the sunk cost of his turning over a new leaf!"

"In this case, you have been separated from him for a few years. Although you had a passionate relationship back then, you have been separated for so many years now. Do you think your feelings are still as passionate as before?"

"I think you know it in your heart. You have been separated for so many years. You may still have feelings for each other, but they are definitely not as good as they were back then, not to mention the feelings you have for your father!"

"So, if you do what you think, he will definitely not show up in the end. Instead, he will think of another way to save you and get himself out at the same time."

"As for this method, the most likely solution is to find someone who admires you, that is, the prince, to come forward to save you, because only the prince will be willing to stand up for you and has the ability to save you."

After hearing what Lin Zhengyi said, Ma Jiaohong fell silent.

Although what Lin Zhengyi said had never actually happened, after she thought about it carefully and analyzed Jiu Wenlong's character towards the prince, she felt that if she really acted according to her own ideas, this consequence might really happen in the end.

Think of this!

Ma Jiaohong hesitated and asked, "Then what should I do?"

"It's easy!"

Lin Zhengyi smiled and said, "Increase his sunk cost. Right now, you are definitely not as good as his father. In this case, if you want to be better than his father, you have to increase his sunk cost on you, which is his feelings!"

After a pause, he continued, "How do you increase your feelings? It's very simple. Just follow his lead. Go back to his side, follow his ideas, and live a good life with him. Work from sunrise to sunset!"

"He who longs to turn over a new leaf and live a peaceful life will definitely accept you as you are. Once he accepts you, you don't have to do anything else. Just accompany him to live a peaceful life. The feelings and sunk costs he invests in you will increase."

"Besides, according to our information, don't you have a child? If you take the child with you and live with him, he will also invest corresponding affection in the child!"

"As long as you spend some time together, the sunk cost he has on you and your child will definitely exceed his feelings for his father."

"Finally, if anything happens to you, he will definitely come back to save you."

Listening to Lin Zhengyi's words, Ma Jiaohong's eyes became brighter.
