Chapter 1779 S Apocalypse Event (Forty-Seven)
Bruce's plan was very simple. He pretended to be rich and cheated the rich, and finally became a real rich man.
This can't even be called pretending or cheating. First of all, Bruce and Oliver were two of the richest people in the world. It's not because they lost their assets in this world that their past as rich people was erased.
Both of them had received elite education from big families. They knew very well how the upper class worked. Those etiquettes that were very mysterious and cumbersome for ordinary people were more common than eating and drinking in their eyes. They didn't even need to pretend, just be themselves.
Diana is an artist. She has studied art appreciation, cultural history, religious theology and other directions. At the same time, because she has lived long enough and has seen too many people, she can remain calm no matter what kind of people and what kind of situations she faces. The most important thing for a liar is psychological quality.
Clark and Arthur are both small town youths. Their knowledge is not as good as the above-mentioned people, but they have only one advantage, that is, they are very handsome.
Let's put it this way. Clark said at a local party that he was a little actor from Hollywood. Mexicans who yearn for the United States have to complain that Hollywood has no vision.
Humans are all appearance animals, that is, they are more willing to listen to good-looking people say a few more words. It's not bad to be a vase at a party. Everyone is busy admiring your appearance and not caring about your inner self. Even if you say something wrong, people will only think you are stupid but really beautiful. The key is beauty.
In this way, Hal doesn't have any outstanding characteristics that can make him a liar, but he also has a characteristic that is not well known to the public. Hal is actually a playboy, and being a Green Lantern has not prevented him from picking up girls.
Some people may say that Bruce Wayne is even more of a playboy, and Oliver must have had a lot of love history, but don't forget that they are both wealthy people. Most of the time, they don't need to take the initiative to pick up girls. It's the opposite sex around them who hold them up.
In this way, Hal's success rate is ridiculously high. After all, he is not the richest man, nor is he stunningly handsome. High emotional intelligence and unique sense of humor are the magic weapon for success.
In general, everyone in this team has a high level of knowledge and a likable personality. It is easy for them to unite and blend into the upper class, and it is not difficult to gain a foothold there.
In addition, they are all Americans, and the upper class in Mexico will look at Americans differently. If you have a little wealth, fame and status in the United States, the local wealthy businessmen who come to visit you may even have to queue up.
Note that Mexico is not actually poor. It is just the ordinary people who have a hard time. Their golden age has not passed for too long, and there are still many rich people in the upper class.
This is actually a reverse application of the theory of the pillar area of the crime industry. As Bruce said, there are a lot of idiots in Mexico who took advantage of the times to make a lot of money, but think they are capable. They can't wait to show their strengths on the international stage, thinking that they can have money that they can't spend in several lifetimes if they invest casually with their own abilities.
Furthermore, most of them are related to the criminal industry. Money comes quickly and easily, so naturally they don't know how to cherish it. Some people have just turned over from the bottom and want to let the whole world know that they are proud of themselves. They are more generous than anyone else and squander money wantonly with a revengeful mentality.
Another type of people are officials and party members who have received black money. They also have a lot of money, but they dare not make it public because it comes from an illegal source. They also want to secretly purchase assets abroad, but they are worried that the news of investing a large sum of money will affect their official careers. They can only do it secretly, and if they lose money, they can only bite their teeth and swallow it.
Looking back at history, people always marvel at how there are so many weird scammers in this era? ! From the perspective of bystanders, they will also question whether these people have no brains and how they can be fooled by such a weird scam?
But the facts have proved that every generation has its own fat sheep. In this era of rapid economic growth and rapid decline, too many people have obtained wealth beyond their horizons, and eventually all of this will flow back to those who deserve it.
In short, all countries in the world are now in a state of too many fools and not enough liars.
After Bruce described his plan in detail, the other people were amazed and said that Bruce, an outstanding graduate, was really valuable and learned well, so they should not learn it next time.
But this is indeed the best way to solve the current dilemma, so Bruce's team turned into a gang overnight.
It would be a waste for so many people to set up a plan, so they positioned themselves according to their own image and temperament and specialized in different fields.
First of all, Clark and Arthur are the two more handsome ones. Clark needs no introduction. He is the handsome guy of the chosen son type that people all over the world like. He will get a series of exclamations when walking on the streets of any country.
Arthur's appearance is quite popular in South America, because the aesthetics here care more about sexiness than simple handsomeness, especially for men. Many Latin handsome guys have a wild and sexy temperament. Arthur perfectly fits the aesthetics of people here.
Arthur grew up in a coastal town. Because he fished on the beach all year round, his skin was tanned. He had wild long hair draped behind his head. His solid muscles and slightly rough skin made him look like a physical laborer. After putting on a suit, he looked like a beast trapped in a cage. Once he appeared in the social circle of Guadalajara, he received a basket of invitations from ladies.
Oliver is a typical rich white man. It is not out of place to have tanned skin in Mexico. For a long time, American white people with darker skin were the symbol of rich people, because only those who are rich and free have time to go to the beach to bask in the sun, and bronze skin is the symbol of old money.
Clark and Arthur's appearance successfully opened up the situation for them. Now the locals in Guadalajara know that a rich businessman who wants to invest in Mexico has come here. He was born on the west coast of the United States and has many producers and investors he knows in Hollywood. He also brought two actors they made famous.
Then the protagonist showed up. Oliver played the role of a rich man who came to investigate the investment environment.
Oliver showed that he was very proficient in business. He was busy in the few days he came here. He visited Greenland Investment, palm oil factories, cross-border trade company headquarters, etc. He was very low-key from his outfit to his itinerary.
Soon, both parties met a group of people. Most of the people Oliver knew were some local wealthy businessmen and some government officials who wanted to attract investment. Bruce knew some second-generation and third-generation rich people, but their parents were higher than local businessmen, and many of them were figures in Mexican politics.
Clark and Arthur successfully mixed into the local entertainment industry, and many Mexican actors wanted to get some information about Hollywood investors from them.
When the whole situation came to this point, it reached the most difficult step, that is, they had to come up with something real, but this was for ordinary scammers.
Again, Bruce's gang was not actually cheating, and everything they said was true.
For example, when Oliver went to play golf with local wealthy businessmen on the weekend, he inadvertently talked about the investment environment in South America, expressed his own views on the trade between the United States and Latin America, and even talked about the bias of his previous wrong investments. The local businessmen were fascinated by what he said and never doubted the truth.
Why is this? Is it because they are too stupid? In fact, it is not at all, because what Oliver said is true.
Even if he was an uneducated rich second generation before he was stranded on the deserted island, the money his family used to train him to practice was in the hundreds of millions. He casually revealed some of his previous investment experiences, which was enough to make these city-level wealthy businessmen marvel at the big money.
Diana mixed in the circle of socialites, which was her old business. When she was the Amazon princess, her job was to mix in the upper circle and let people know more about Amazon and Amazon's tourism industry.
This is also the reason why she chose to be an artist, because the theme of this group of wealthy and idle socialites every day is to buy luxury goods, famous paintings, antiques, and modern artworks all over the world, as long as they can show their financial strength and taste, they will put them all in their pockets.
After all, Diana has lived for so many years. Even if she spends half of the time of ordinary humans to learn these things, she spends much more time than ordinary artists to study them. Therefore, whether it is appreciation or recommendation, she has her own opinions and soon became famous in the whole circle.
At this time, Mexico is still dominated by the left, but it is very embarrassing that the prestige of the Mexican Revolutionary Party has been shaken too much, and in the general election a year later, they have many powerful competitors.
The party that has ruled Mexico for so many years is of course unwilling to hand over power to others. They work hard to win support from all over the world, but unfortunately, their biggest competitors, those liberals, are supported by their powerful neighbor, the United States. Originally, they themselves felt hopeless.
But one day, when Oliver was attending a gathering of local politicians in Guadalajara, he inadvertently revealed that he had met a senior Soviet official, which successfully attracted the attention of a politician.
