Coquettish Rebirth

"Then what? Are the people on the second floor really gangsters?" Ye Jing couldn't help asking. In her opinion, the professor obviously didn't meet any gangsters, and then went back to rely on her tutor to find a gangster she knew or something. Go to investigate again?Otherwise, what about personal safety?But who knew that the Indian professor shook his head, "There are really gang members inside. There are seven or eight people. They are playing cards and bragging. Then I asked them if they could accept my questionnaire. They thought it was an enemy attack. One Everyone pulled out their guns..."

Shit, Jia Hongjian and Ye Jing got nervous when they heard this!This gangster has a gun, and he is still in a state of fright. At this time, he really might shoot!After all, they are not policemen, and they are not restricted by any rules. They can shoot as long as they think there may be danger, regardless of whether the person in front of them has a gun or not!If some of your younger sister's hands shakes and fires a shot, this professor may only be able to celebrate the Ching Ming Festival now!Even Nolan couldn't help asking, "Didn't they shoot you?"

"No, maybe it's because I look less threatening than their enemy? Or maybe their enemy wouldn't attack them with such an academic question asking them to do a questionnaire... so they didn't hit me, search After seeing me and finding that I was indeed unarmed, they saw my business card and knew that I was really a Ph. He didn't realize that he was in deep danger until now... But although this professor is quite handsome, he looks a bit bookish at first glance.To describe it in Chinese is "bookish", and it doesn't look like a person who does bad things at first glance.Maybe it was because of this reason, and he went alone, so the gangsters spared him?

After the three of them marveled for a while, Jia Hongjian continued to ask, "Professor, what question did you ask them?".To be honest, this question is really not important, but Jia Hongjian is curious.After so many years of "creative" work, he has developed a fondness for caring about unimportant issues, because sometimes inadvertent corners and corners can stimulate new ideas!That's what he thought, and when he asked, he didn't think that the other party would be able to answer something particularly eye-catching.But who knew Jia Hongjian was really wrong.This professor really answered a question that made his mouth open in shock...

"My first question... the first question seems to be - as a poor black man in the United States, how do you feel about this kind of background? a, very bad, b. somewhat bad. c. average, d, good. e, very good. As a result, who knows that my questionnaire is really not well designed, and they answered an answer that I didn't expect-fuck you!"

puff!When Jia Hongjian heard this, he almost laughed out loud!This Nima Indian professor is really a nerd?Asking someone this very offensive question?Isn't this scolding?Don’t even say that the other party is a gangster, even if he is just an ordinary person—for example, those wage earners in China, if he goes up and asks him how he feels about being born in poverty and having to work part-time, even if he has a good temper, his face will not change immediately. , It's normal to scold directly when you are almost in a temper!Is this the way to do a survey?Well, maybe it's because the dude is so nerdy that the mob knew he wasn't a threat, so they didn't shoot him?I really don’t know if it’s a blessing for fools!

"Then what's next?" Ye Jing asked with a smothered smile, "What about the second question?" Now she really wants to know how such a nerdy professor used to ask those gangsters one after another nerdy question in a serious way member's. "There is no second question. After I finished asking this question, they became irritable. I thought maybe my question irritated them a little, so they stood in front of me one by one, with their chests puffed out. , the posture is the same as that of a bull that is ready to fight for the opposite sex during the breeding season. Of course I will not fight with them, so they didn't beat me either, they just tied me up and threw me in the stairwell on the second floor for an afternoon plus one At night. And at night, their enemies really came. The enemies drove by in a car, shot at the second floor of the house in the car without stopping, and then sped up and fled..." The second professor was serious replied.

Hearing this, Jia Hongjian almost didn't know how to react.When he first heard about the professor being tied up, he wanted to laugh.But when he heard the shooting behind him, he worried about the professor's safety.So should you laugh or worry?Why does this professor seem to be out of his mind just like Collins' funny comparison?What the professor did really didn't look like something a normal person could do?

"Wow, professor, are you not injured?" Ye Jing was the first to ask concerned because she was a girl after all. "Huh? No, no, the house is made of brick and wood, and the outer walls are all red bricks, and the other party used a pistol, so the bullets only penetrated the windows from the bottom up, and did not penetrate the outer walls and floors, so we It was all safe, no one was hurt. Then after the shooting, some people wanted to take revenge, and some people said that everyone should not act rashly, and they should call their bosses and let their bosses decide what to do. Then I told them Chat, ask them if this happens often, if any of them have been injured, ask them how to get medical treatment if they are injured, etc., then talk all night, and you have made friends with them. By the next morning, The leader of their small gang that occupies four blocks came. The leader interrogated me and found out that I was not a spy, and then drove me away, saying that they would make revenge arrangements next, and that I could not hear them .

So I went home and took a shower, and then washed my shorts and outer pants—you know, I couldn’t go to the bathroom for most of the day, so I didn’t hold back in the end..." When the professor said, he still looked relaxed But what he said gradually made Jia Hongjian and the others unable to laugh, because Jia Hongjian and the others knew that the so-called normal people would be scared to death when they returned home at this time, and they would never go to the first place again. It’s the second time! What if the bullet doesn’t grow eyes and hits me in a certain gun battle? I only have one life. And the research topic for doctoral students is not limited to one, wouldn’t it be over if you change the topic? So what if you can’t get a degree? A degree is more important than a life? But you don’t need to ask, this professor must have gone again later, and he followed this gangster for ten years! What kind of concept is this? This is really not normal Things people can do!

So after hearing the professor say that he took a shower and washed his clothes after he went back, then slept, got up at night and went to the gangster's neighborhood after dinner, and said, "Hey guys, last night with You chatted very happily, when I said "witty words" like "Can I continue chatting with you tonight", Jia Hongjian and the others really didn't laugh!then.Jia Hongjian and the others listened to the professor talk a little bit about his ten-year in-depth analysis of the gang's experience.At the beginning, I made a good relationship with a few minions.Gradually, he also became acquainted with the leader of the small gang, and became friends.Even the professor took the initiative to say that he would act together with the gangsters. When the gangsters went to retaliate against each other, he didn't ask where they were going.Just follow along and get in the car.Then follow the gangsters to shoot rival gangsters...even while those gangsters are doing all kinds of illegal business.He still followed by him-this is enough to prove that this little gangster has completely trusted him, and he didn't treat him as an undercover agent sent by the police at all, although he would be searched every time before participating in other activities.

Even when the professor was following the gang.The news was snooped by the police, and then he was arrested together with the gangsters and interrogated.But because the professor just followed and didn't do bad things himself, he wasn't prosecuted or imprisoned.However, while the police felt that the professor was insane, they felt that the professor's house should have various records of gang crimes, so they rushed to the professor's house with a search warrant and rummaged through boxes and cabinets, and even snatched some of his CDs. I'm leaving, I suspect that all the criminal evidence of the gangsters has been recorded on the CD...

At this time, an economist at the University of Chicago began to notice the heroic behavior of the professor, and actively cooperated with the professor, asking the professor to obtain some operating data of the gang, and then he analyzed it, which was tantamount to being a "criminal". Economics" research topic.Then the Indian professor really asked the gangster, and in the end not only asked about the financial data of the gangster, but even saw the ledger's account book with his own eyes!

And it was because of seeing the real account book that the professor of economics discovered after researching that the "business model" of the gangster was not optimistic at all, and it was not what ordinary people imagined! "Actually, according to Professor Levitt's calculations, the business form of these gangsters is very similar to McDonald's, and it is also a pyramid-style franchise mechanism. The top level of the gangsters is a board of directors similar to the McDonald's head office. It is true that they call themselves the board of directors, which is learned from the big companies in the world of ordinary people. Then under the board of directors, there are various branches, which are actually the subordinates of the boss of the board of directors. They may be in charge of an area in the southwest of Chicago alone. Marketing] and [Operation], and then another person is responsible for these tasks in the south of Chicago. Then under these people, there are so-called [stores] like small gangsters joining in. Such a small gangster is responsible for three blocks, and some are in charge of Five blocks, an average of four blocks is basically a sphere of influence. These people are responsible to the regional manager, hand over most of the sales amount, and only keep a small part for themselves, thus obtaining an average of four blocks. [Exclusive right to operate]..."

wipe!Jia Hongjian and the others were really shocked when they heard this!It turns out that the American gangsters still have this kind of system?They still learn all kinds of operational knowledge from the world of ordinary people?But think about it, how many members of the gang are highly educated?It is estimated that the highly educated are the lawyers next to the gang boss?The boss of the gangster himself probably didn't go to school.So in terms of business, if they don't learn from the world of ordinary people, they will definitely not be able to play!But after learning the franchise mechanism of McDonald's, the bosses of the "board of directors" must be the ones who make the most of the money in the end!The people below seem to have a lot of turnover funds, but most of them have to be handed over, because when they operate, those "products" are bought from above, just like McDonald's stores and the head office.And the ones I sell here are too expensive, "consumers" can walk four blocks to other gangs to buy them!Isn't this the same as the competition between McDonald's and KFC?No one can set the price sky-high!So in the end, it is to maintain a "reasonable price", and then most of the turnover income will definitely be taken away by the above!
