Chapter 1893: Application for World Heritage (Monthly Tickets!!! Subscriptions!!! Recommendations!!!)
To put it bluntly, the Twelve Families don’t really care how much profit the high-table can make. The killers earn their money through hard work. I’ve never heard of a killer getting rich. How much does it cost to kill a person? There’s no exact number for this. For example, in New York, if you want to kill someone, you can even find a drug addict with a few hundred dollars of drugs… Some high-addicts can even do it for a dozen dollars. These bastards are so high that they can do anything.
But be careful… drug addicts are the least trustworthy. They may run away with the money at any time, or sell you out after killing someone.
So only the most unreliable guys will look for drug addicts, such as street thugs. Then there are those guys with unclear brains. They kill people… They all look for people on the Internet. That’s right, the Internet!
These idiots don’t understand how unreliable it is to look for killers on the Internet. Not to mention scammers like Ah San, aren’t you going online to leave evidence? Don't say that you can just delete the evidence on the computer... In fact, the safest way he can think of is to delete the chat history. Don't expect them to have much brains. People with brains will not do this.
Such people are probably saying goodbye to crime. If there are really brainless online killers who take orders, they will be caught soon.
Then find a gangster killer, which is a more reliable way. Generally speaking, if you find the right way, the gang will really take this kind of job. How many small hooligans who want to get promoted are just one chance away!
Although the essence of the gang is to make money, in order to make money, you must have ruthless and fierce predators, otherwise you make money and others will make you. So the gang sometimes selects some ruthless characters who are willing to kill people.
You pay them to kill, which is equivalent to a win-win situation for them... the kind that wins twice.
For those gangs that have procedures, it is best to find those sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys, because it is easy to get away with it! The important thing is that it is easy to fool. To be honest, there are always only a few people in this world who really dare to kill. After all, in a civilized society, butchers who sell pork are considered murderous people. Killing people? Are you kidding? Except for a few perverts, not many people dare to do it. But sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys dare to do it. On the one hand, these boys don’t know what fear is.
According to the author’s hometown dialect, it is called ‘no fear’. They only have a rough outline of what they have done and have no idea what the consequences are.
Of course, there are even more extreme ones, that is, he clearly knows what the consequences are.
But they are not afraid.
This is another aspect, that is... the protection of minors in various countries.
Many countries adopt a lenient treatment for juvenile crimes. Even in many countries, the trial of minors is not open.
The same is true in the United States. Many states adopt a policy of tolerance for juvenile crimes and will not impose too heavy sentences.
So many gangs will deceive those children and let them commit crimes and kill people. Anyway, they will be released in a few years. If the lawyer is better, they may be sentenced to community labor. For those children, going to prison is not scary at all... at least that’s what his so-called big brothers say.
They will tell the minors that the prison is full of their brothers, and they will be well taken care of after they go in, just like going to school. When they are released from prison, they can become the big brother, drive luxury cars, pick up all kinds of girls, spend a lot of money, and be as impressive as they want.
Then they will be convinced by the words of loyalty and manliness, and they will really do it when their minds are hot.
Of course, you can't expect this kind of killer to be very professional.
The real professional killers are introduced by middlemen. But even for this kind of killer, one order will not be too expensive, from tens of thousands to 200,000 at most.
Orders exceeding this value are rare in the killer business. (In the fast chase, John was offered a reward of 7 million by the second-generation rich at the beginning, and countless killers screamed. This is the norm. Killers are not as profitable as imagined)
So even if you have a monopoly on the killer business, you can't make much money. After all, this thing is not a rigid demand. In a normal society... even in this not-so-normal world, the demand for killers is not as great as imagined!
Not many people would think about killing others all day long. The direct profit of the assassin business is not much. At least with the status of the twelve families, the profit of the high table from the assassins is not as big as imagined.
But why do the twelve families care so much?
The answer is the same as all the rich people... How many rich people really make money by running the real business?
What do they make money by?
Stocks!
For example, Musk is said to have a net worth of 250 billion US dollars, but is it really that much? This valuation is actually very false. As far as he is concerned, the funds he can fully control are estimated to be only a few hundred million US dollars. If he wants more, he needs to borrow from the bank.
More than 200 billion US dollars, most of which are the valuations of his stocks. Whether these stocks can be sold, whether anyone buys them, and whether they are worth so much money if someone buys them are all unknown.
It can even be said that Musk's real money in his hands may not necessarily be better than those rich people in the real industry. It's just that these rich people are not famous, and their companies are not listed.
In short, there are really few wealthy people on the list who have accumulated their wealth bit by bit through real profits. They all rely on stocks to directly increase their net worth, and then start financial games. Then they get their wealth.
The same goes for the Twelve Families. They really don't rely on that little commission to make a living. They have a lot of properties in their hands. It can even be said that most of the properties in their hands are more profitable than this high table. But why do they still care so much and even regard this thing as their lifeblood?
The answer is pretty much the same as above.
Those Internet rich people rely on telling stories to others, and the Twelve Families also use high-end tables to improve their own status, making themselves much scarier than they actually are!
With the High Table, they are the Twelve Families, and the dark world recognizes them as the pinnacle of the underworld. With this backing, their other industries can flourish all over the world, and no one dares to cause trouble.
Other killer groups almost follow this model. Again, the market for the killer industry is so big, and it is impossible to promote it and expand the market. If you are not afraid of being killed by the government together, you have to play in secret, so the market is only so small, how can you make money by it?
Beautiful thought!
What they want is fame. For the underworld, reputation is money! Don't think that gangsters only fight and kill. On the contrary, gangsters are the most humane and sophisticated. For example, if a small gang sees a big gang and there is a conflict, what will happen?
Could it be that a small gang would go to war regardless?
Stop being so funny! Giving in is the first choice. And big gangs will not start wars against small gangs at will, because it is not cost-effective.
Why do gangs in Hong Kong gangster movies have the term "talking about numbers"... Because everyone comes out to make money. If they can't fight, they won't fight. How can they make money if they fight? Talking about numbers means everyone presents facts and makes sense...well, roughly. In fact, it still shows my strength. How many younger brothers I have, how capable my younger brothers are. The truth... I also say that when everyone is of similar strength, the truth will be useful.
The Twelve Families were doing the same thing. When they were expanding, they encountered local snakes.
If you expand, won't you take away the other party's cake?
What should we do at this time?
I can’t even answer this question, so the above is the standard answer.
Talk about numbers.
Who the hell are you, Chen Haonan, the leader of Hongxing Causeway Bay! I have tens of thousands of brothers in Hongxing!
Oh, I am one of the twelve families of the High Desk. I don’t have tens of thousands of brothers, but I have the High Desk. Why don’t you know the High Desk?
Which killer is better? Twelve high-top tables! Tens of thousands of killers with strong technology.
Then Chen Haonan got scared, how could you beat the killer with a machete and a steel pipe? Then the business of the twelve families can proceed smoothly. In this way, their expansion costs will be reduced a lot!
This is what the high table means to the Twelve Families.
There are even many derivative gameplays. For example, if a local official has a competitor, what should Twelve Companies do if they want to win over the official? The high table makes him disappear. The official had nothing to do with the assassination, but the handle actually fell into the hands of the Twelve Families.
For another example, a rich man has a project that is very profitable. But what if the twelve companies win the bid without any advantage? As long as you search, you will definitely find some trouble that cannot be solved from the rich man. The rich man's 'leg' is broken! At this time, Gao Tai table came out to help the rich man, bang! Attach the legs at once!
What to do with the project? Isn’t it a matter of course?
This is what a high table is all about.
Killer?
Ha, I would have starved to death with that little commission. In fact, those companies that draw a cut of twelve will not transfer at all. Instead, they will invest all in the high table. They even have to put some money in from time to time. But for them, the benefits that the high table can bring to them are greater than the investment. Much more!
But now that other similar killer companies are rising and carving up their market, what does that mean?
This means that the tricks they play can be played by others too!
It means that they will be eliminated. If they don't stand up, they will one day be threatened by others like 'Chen Haonan'!
It's broken, I'm a substitute.
The meaning is similar.
Once the high-end table collapses, it means that the stocks of the twelve companies will collapse, which will also have a chain reaction and bring their original industries to an end! In this case, the Twelve Companies couldn't even close their positions because they were the original shareholders and the largest shareholders, and they couldn't find anyone to take over.
So in order not to go bankrupt, they chose to directly leverage their heavy positions! Stud to the end.
Do you think their investment in New York is exaggerated?
In fact, it is far from enough. If they can, they can even sell other assets and hold heavy positions. Because stocks don't rebound, they're all screwed!
After receiving the promise from the Beggar King, the Twelve Families began to mobilize the most elite killers from other regions to New York.
New York is a great place with lots of people and lots of money. There are also many corresponding conflicts, so there are also many killer orders, and even the unit price of the orders is higher than elsewhere. Occupying the market here is equivalent to ringing the bell in the stock market, which will wake up a large number of leeks.
The only pity is that there are too many monsters and monsters in New York. The police are extremely powerful, superheroes are flying everywhere, and the citizens are so heart-wrenching that it is jaw-dropping. All kinds of reactions make it difficult for groups like High Table.
They used to open the Continental Hotel on the busiest street in New York, which was very majestic. Which killer organization in the world has this ability?
police?
To them, the police at that time were just like the police station in Star Wars' movie "Kung Fu". They were the ones who got slapped in the mouth and washed the floor. (During the high-speed chase, the police knocked on John’s door and saw corpses on the ground. They said it was fine and everything was fine... You can imagine how arrogant Gaotai Table was)
At the beginning, when Kai went straight to the New York Guest House (Continental Hotel), Gao Tai Desk's first reaction was to kill this stupid policeman who had no eyesight.
Then when I asked about it, oh. You can't do it. The elites were all killed in one night. What are you going to do? Deliver food?
Okay, if the hard one doesn't work, let's do the soft one!
Go directly to Kai's boss and ask Kai to mind his own business, otherwise... the person on the other end hung up the phone before he even finished speaking. If you call me again, the person on the other side will start complaining.
What the hell, why don’t you drag me along with you? Kai is the one who can touch Kai because he is a small and high-ranking official?
Other people are superheroes, who am I?
What the hell, he is a good friend of the owner of the White House, someone who chats and laughs with a bunch of military and political bigwigs. Who am I?
He's Tony Stark's best friend, who am I?
Someone else is the boss of the Wayne Group, who am I?
Did I threaten him? Believe it or not, he can tell me to get out immediately with just one phone call if he is unhappy? Moreover, how stupid can I be to take the initiative to deliver food? Originally, he didn’t know that I was related to you, so why did I throw myself into a trap?
The high-top table was scolded and stunned.
Then I thought, since the soft one is not good, can I make it softer?
Send money!
Then he was scolded again, "Why the hell do you count every one of you on the high table? If you add up, do you have money if you have him?" Does the Wayne Group know? have no idea? What kind of intelligence work are you doing?
How about free seats? The high table has a long history, more than 100 years ago. Join us and your family will be strong forever!
They were scolded again, has a long history? Is Asgard as old as it is? Others have a history of more than 10,000 years! He became brothers with other people's crown princes, and drank and chatted with Odin. By the way, Asgard can live thousands of years!
As long as Asgard does not fall, their family will always be strong.
By the way, what did you just say? What to add?
Gaotai table hung up the phone directly.
Nima, what's going on? He cannot be beaten or scolded, he is a living copper pea.
The twelve members at the high table were almost bald and couldn't think of a way.
Finally, a younger congressman slapped his forehead.
Why do we have to open a Continental Hotel in an aboveboard manner?
We are a criminal organization, working underground, there is no shame in it. Besides, our Gaotai table was not so high-profile at the beginning. When we started our business, we started from ‘from a flower stall to a prefix’. It is normal for a business to have difficult conditions.
So New York underground became the best place to go.
There is really no one in charge of this place, not even Kai. The Beggar King can live so well, why can’t we?
If it's great, it should be more hidden, more expensive and more confidential.
But is this a problem?
Doesn’t count.
That's good.
At all costs, we must cooperate with the Beggar King. We are originally rats in the sewer. After being ashore for a long time, do we really think of ourselves as poodles?
