Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

8:50, Baguo Lane.

Feng Dazhang looked at the long queue outside and a knowing smile appeared on his face.

Beside him, the little dog Erwang was a little absent-minded. He knew very well what was going on with the queue outside. There were no real customers at all!

"Brother Feng, if we do this, what if we get caught?"

Feng Dazhang reached out and slapped him on the head, shouting,

"What do you know? That's how their company does it. We're just copying them, what can go wrong?"

“But I always feel uneasy!”

Feng Dazhang was a little nervous about Erwang's suspicion. He wanted to slap him again, but finally gave up.

Things have come to this point, there is no turning back.

Feng Dazhang walked into the crowd outside with a paper loudspeaker and shouted,

"Good morning, neighbors! Last night, everyone suspected our company was a scam, but the patrol officer proved my innocence. Our Merrill Lynch company is completely legal."

"Our insurance policies will go on sale at 9 o'clock. There are only 300 of them today, and it's first come, first served. Everyone who buys a policy will receive 10 eggs. It doesn't matter if you buy one dollar or 50 dollars, we treat everyone the same!"

After Feng Dazhang yelled, Erwang reminded him: It's 9 o'clock!

After a gong sounded, Feng Dazhang shouted,

“The policy is now on sale!”

Dozens of people were queuing up, fighting, scrambling, and shouting!

Feng Dazhang watched the birth of the first insurance policy, excitedly dancing and shouting,

"Our company's first insurance policy has been issued. Congratulations to this gentleman!"

The same scene is being played out in many places in Shanghai. Not to mention other places, there are more than 30 Merrill Lynch stations alone!

Feng Dazhang kept staring at the end of the line. Although there were many people watching, only a few actually lined up.

The people of Shanghai are not stupid either.

Look at what TA company is doing. Look at what Merrill Lynch is doing!

A small shop of dozens of square meters, so shabby!

Feng Dazhang's throat was about to smoke, but no one came. He was so anxious!

He continued shouting for a while, but seeing that he still couldn't attract the people, he decided to give up and went into the house to drink tea.

Feng Dazhang was also helpless. He had suggested choosing a big hotel as the base a long time ago, but the bosses in the company were unwilling to invest in such a small, shabby storefront. The people living nearby were all from the lower class, so how much money could they make?

Erwang followed behind Lao Feng and asked anxiously,

"Brother Feng, what should I do? I haven't received the insurance premium, and I've lost a lot of money. It's a huge loss!"

Feng Dazhang was upset and scolded him when he heard this.

"Shut your crow mouth!"

The Crystal Hotel, two kilometers away from him, was a completely different scene, which could be described in two words: hot!

A sweet host, inspiring music, and a grand stage.

This is the insurance point of Longxin Company.

Thousands of people were bustling around, scrambling to get insurance.

Longxin Company is a company controlled by foreign capital.

Whatever TA company has, Longxin company also has. What TA company doesn’t have, Longxin company also has. They hired a group of singers to perform on the spot.

In Baguo Lane, half an hour passed and there was still no improvement in the insurance situation.

Feng Dazhang gritted his teeth and shouted,

"Withdraw! Double buyback!"

Anyway, I didn’t sell many of them, so it wouldn’t cost much to buy back double the amount.

Feng Dazhang picked up a paper loudspeaker and shouted on the street,

"Hey neighbors, Merrill Lynch wanted to offer you some benefits, but you didn't appreciate it. I just received a notice from the company that this site is closing. Customers who recently purchased insurance policies, please bring them here and we'll double the price!"

As soon as the words fell, an auntie giggled and showed off to the people around her,

"I want to cancel my insurance, I want to cancel my insurance!"

Feng Dazhang felt distressed when he saw this. The old lady bought a total of 31 dollars, which meant that Merrill Lynch lost 31 dollars.

Amidst everyone's envy, jealousy and hatred, the old lady quickly left with 62 dollars.

Then, more "customers" came to request refunds, some for dozens of dollars, some for just a few.

There was laughter and joy in Baguo Lane.

The huge sum of money finally aroused everyone's greed. A man in his sixties stood up and asked,

"Manager Feng, can we please not evacuate this site? I'm planning to buy insurance!"

Feng Dazhang shook his head.

"Uncle, our company has other sites. I can introduce them to you!"

"But I want to get insurance at my doorstep!"

Feng Dazhang looked embarrassed and explained,

"Operating each insurance point requires costs. According to company regulations, sites with insufficient insurance coverage must be closed immediately!"

Another person stood up, looking at his age, he was about thirty years old.

“I’m willing to take out insurance too!”

"I do too!"

……

More than twenty people stood up in a row, and more people rushed over here.

China is a society of acquaintances. If you can convince one person, you can convince a group of people.

The Taoist scriptures say: One gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things.

Take the first step and the rest will come naturally.

When the number of insured people reached fifty, Feng Dazhang knew that this site had survived a desperate situation!

He was so excited that he almost jumped up.

"Dear neighbors, please line up. We have 500 policies. We just sold 47, but we still have 453 left, which is plenty for everyone to buy. Don't worry!"

"Oh, two have already been sold, and there are still 451 left, which is still plenty!"

Feng Dazhang is very good at creating a tense atmosphere. In just half an hour, he had sold more than 30 copies.

As he watched the queue grow longer and longer, golden light appeared in his eyes.

That is not a crowd, but a flowing galaxy!

"Breaking News! Breaking News! TA's company site has been completely shut down, and the people are gone. Atlan hurriedly left the Magic City late at night and is nowhere to be found. He seems to have run away!"

"Extra number! Extra number!..."

Feng Dazhang felt like he couldn't breathe!

TA's company ran away? This is fatal!

The originally noisy interface suddenly became silent, and the crowd seemed to be under a spell, unable to move!

The newsboy's voice was getting closer and closer, and an old man who was the first to react shouted,

"Give me one, kid!"

In the center of the front page of the newspaper was a huge photo: Atlan was carrying a huge suitcase, with a panicked look in his eyes, about to get into a car!

The neon lights behind him were so dazzling.

Judging from the photos, Atlan left late at night.

This time is very delicate!

Below the big photo, there are several small photos, which are photos of several insurance outlets of TA company after they were closed down.

The newsboy's face was filled with a happy smile. In just a few minutes, he had sold more than a dozen newspapers!

In sharp contrast to him is Feng Dazhang!

If nothing unexpected happens, the person who will refund the money will appear soon!

"Manager Feng, my family needs money urgently. Can you refund my insurance? I don't want double the price, just the original price!"

"Yes, I want to withdraw too!"

"I'll retreat too!"

Dozens of people surrounded Feng Dazhang and kept shouting.

In the Crystal Hotel, thousands of people were stunned, it was a rare spectacle!

This is the calm before the storm!

A few minutes later, the crowd was in an uproar and rushed to the insurance point, demanding a refund!

The crisis that Tongan encountered is now happening to Longxin Company!

TA company has brought down the entire industry!

In just half an hour, more than 3,000 people gathered on the street outside the Cathay Hotel.

"Money back!"

"Money back!"

"Money back!"

Guo Dachong held a cup of hot tea and stared at the downstairs with interest.

He liked the feeling of controlling all living beings more and more.

"The world is like a chess game, and I am the chess thrower!"

Another half an hour passed before someone from TA company finally showed up. It was Duan Long from the security team, who had now been promoted to team leader.

He picked up the microphone and shouted,

"What do you want to do in the middle of the day?"

The strong man standing in the front shouted,

"We want our money back!"

Duan Long rolled his eyes at him and cursed,

"If you want a refund, go get in line. There's a huge refund sign, can't you see it? What are eyes for? To vent your anger!"

Everyone looked in the direction Duan Long pointed, and sure enough, there was a large refund window.

The strong man was choked and retorted,

"Will you really retreat?"

"Facts speak louder than words. Just go back and you'll know!"

Suddenly someone shouted,

"The newspaper said Mr. Atlan ran away overnight! Is that true?"

Duan Long glared and roared,

"I've seen the newspaper. It never said that Mr. Atlan had run away. Is there some misunderstanding?"

Everyone opened the newspaper and saw the words: Mr. Atlan hurriedly got into a car late at night and disappeared!

"Excuse me, where is Mr. Atlan?"

Duan Long was silent for a moment and replied,

"Mr. Atlan's whereabouts are confidential to our company. However, to avoid misunderstandings, TA has decided to tell the truth: Mr. Atlan has gone to Jinling. Our company has become an air passenger transport company, and the general manager has gone to the Ministry of Transportation to apply for a license!"

"But why did your company's site withdraw?"

Duan Long was so angry that he laughed out loud.

"The night before last, someone impersonated our company and committed fraud. To prevent more people from getting scammed, our company stopped providing insurance! We're not planning to sell it, so why keep the site?"

"Why did Mr. Atlan leave at night?"

"We left at night and arrived in Jinling when the Ministry of Transportation was open for work. Mr. Atlan could submit the information immediately. Is there any problem with that?"

……

In a villa somewhere in Shanghai, there was a loud sound of smashing and looting.

"Little bastard! Little bastard! I want him dead! I want him dead!"
