Chapter 222 The Sunk Cost Effect
"Anyway, don't worry, I know it, and now with two double-edged swords, it's a good thing."
Seeing that Xi Xiaoan and Xue Dawei were not responding, Wu Di felt a little awkward in the atmosphere and coughed twice.
As soon as this was finished, Xi Xiaoan's curiosity aroused his confusion and asked in confusion: "Mr. Wu, what do you mean? In my opinion, it is already very dangerous to have a Viper Gang. Now there is another Dragon and Tiger Hall. Wouldn't it be more uncertain? How could it be a good thing?"
Indeed, it is not unreasonable that Xi Xiaoan has such concerns.
In Dongling, many people know that in the current Taoist path, the Mandala Gang, Viper Gang, and Dragon and Tiger Hall are the most powerful.
These three gangs all have a vague hope to become the new leader in the Tao. It has only been so many years that they have restrained each other and have equal strength, which has formed a situation where the three gangs are in harmony.
If you can achieve this level on the road of Dongling, none of the three gangs are good at it. They are all struggling to fight in the scene of adding blood to the tip of the knife.
Don’t listen to those who are acting in film and television dramas, and say that you are confused about the Tao. The most important thing is the word "meaning".
Among the real forces in Taoism, Xinyi is bullshit!
Li Che, Liu She, and Xu Qian, the female leader of the Mandulla Gang, could these three people climb to such a position, and who did not get it through open and secret competition and conspiracy?
You can't even think about the things that are stained on their hands, so how can you deal with such people not be dangerous?
Originally, one of them felt very difficult to deal with, but now there are two more, but Wu Di actually said that this is a good thing, and he really can't understand it.
Wu Di smiled and said, "Today, Liu She's intention is very obvious, that is, to wipe out the Dragon Tiger Hall completely, or to suck the Dragon Tiger Hall in the power of his Viper Gang."
"But if Viper Gang is the dominant one, we will be even more unable to control this sword, and even accelerate the injury to it."
"So, it is particularly important to appear another sword that can compete with Liu She at this time. They can play a role in restraining each other."
Hearing this, Xi Xiaoan's concerns remained unabated and said, "But what if they all rebelled and united? Wouldn't that be even more troublesome?"
Wu Di shook his head and continued to smile and said, "Don't worry, this situation is impossible. The Viper Gang and Dragon and Tiger Hall have fought for so many years. The two families can be said to be the enemy among the enemies. Do you want them to unite? Then why don't you fight first?"
After hearing these words, Xi Xiaoan nodded thoughtfully; "I seem to understand, Mr. Wu, have you planned all this since you saw Longhu Hall coming to make trouble during the day?"
"Haha!" Wu Di laughed and nodded; "Yes, this Dragon and Tiger Hall can be said to be delivered to the door today. We also urgently need this kind of power now. Some things are not easy to deal with without these people."
Xi Xiaoan seemed to have heard something and was stunned; "Mr. Wu,
What are you going to do next?"
Wu Di showed a mysterious smile; "I'm sorry, this needs to be kept confidential for the time being, but you will soon know that I think this will definitely give the Zhao family who wants to harm us!"
When he said the last sentence, Wu Di's eyes were full of viciousness.
He saw it with his own eyes that Zhao Ri not only harassed Xi Xiaoan at the opening ceremony of Wusi Group, but also intended to be detrimental to Wusi Group.
Now Wu Di's heart has been completely ruthless!
As long as it is an enemy, there is no need to show mercy at all. It is necessary to let them know that no one who wants to be unfavorable to them will have good results!
So what about the Zhao family of the four major families? I thought that by letting the people from Longhu Hall take action, I could misunderstand the Ye family?
It can only be said that the Zhao family is too naive. They would never have thought that they could even conquer Longhu Hall.
At the third update in the morning, Zhao Ri received a call from Longhutang.
"How is the matter doing?" Zhao Ri asked calmly as soon as he answered the phone.
In his opinion, it must be the people from Longhu Hall who had done the work and called him, but the words that came out of the phone immediately made him unable to calm down.
"Mr. Zhao! I am Li Che, the deputy head of Longhu Hall. That bastard Wang Hu took over your millions and took out another 100 million given by Wusi Group. He embezzled them all!" On the phone, Li Che's anxious voice rang.
"What?!" Zhao Ri was indeed furious, and his face was twisted.
"That grandson dares to swallow my money?! Do you don't want to mess around in Dongling in Longhu Hall?" Zhao Ri yelled at the phone.
"Mr. Zhao, you can't say that. We didn't see any of the money in Longhu Hall. It was all Wang Hu himself!" On the phone, Li Che's very unjust voice sounded again.
Zhao Ri gasped for a while again, and then said, "That's your Longhu Hall business, I can't control it! But after collecting my money, you must do what I want you to do!"
"Mr. Zhao, tell you the truth." Li Crocodile's low voice rang on the phone; "Wang Hu swept away all the money in the Dragon and Tiger Hall, and all the brothers in our hall could not do it."
"What does it mean?" Zhao Ri asked for a moment of fright.
Li Chew continued: "That is to say, our Dragon and Tiger Hall is planning to disband. My brothers have offended many people in the Tao over the years. Now that the master and money are gone, I will definitely not be able to survive in Dongling. You don't need Mr. Zhao to take action. We plan to run away."
"Wait a minute!" This time it was Zhao Ri's turn to be anxious; "You guys have not done this for me yet, why did you want to leave just by saying that you would leave? I have given you one million!"
"Mr. Zhao, I have explained it to you very clearly." Li Chou said helplessly: "Your one million was also taken away by Wang Hu. We have no money now, brother
We can't get together at all."
"Then I will give you another million!" Zhao Ri gritted his teeth and said.
Hearing this, Li Crocodile paused on the other end of the phone.
But a few seconds later, Li Crocodile sighed again and said, "Mr. Zhao, one million is probably not enough."
"What do you mean? I can't blackmail me!" Zhao Ri was a little annoyed.
"Mr. Zhao, don't get me wrong." Li Crocodile quickly explained: "I'm telling the truth. You think that our brother No. 50 and 60 of Longhu Hall, this million is only more than 10,000 yuan, and we have to buy some weapons and equipment. How can we do this?"
Zhao Ri hesitated for a moment and asked in a deep voice: "How much do you think you need?"
Li Cheru on the other end of the phone also thought about it, and then said, "At least... ten million."
"Okay! I'll give it to you!" Unexpectedly, Zhao Ri really agreed happily.
But Zhao Ri immediately said, "But you have to remember, you must do what I want you to do well for me, and there will be no more mistakes!"
"It must be!" Li Crocodile quickly replied excitedly: "Mr. Zhao, don't worry, Longhu Hall can live again, all rely on you. In the future, the dozens of brothers in Longhu Hall will listen to you, Mr. Zhao!"
After hearing these words, Zhao Ri smiled with satisfaction; "Very good, then you guys do it well, don't worry, you will know that following me is better than following the Ye family!"
After the call, Li Che immediately called Wu Di again.
"Mr. Wu, you are so amazing!" As soon as the phone was answered, Li Croco couldn't help but exclaim.
Wu Di smiled and said, "It seems that old guy Zhao Ri has promised to give us 10 million?"
"I agreed, I agreed!" Li Crocodile said excitedly: "And I said everything that you taught me later, and Zhao Ri really had the desire to win over us."
Wu Di said with satisfaction: "It's very good. After Zhao Ri calls you 10 million, you will follow the plan step by step. If there is still 10 million, you can keep it for yourself."
"Thank you, Mr. Wu, thank you, Mr. Wu!" After thanking him repeatedly, Li Chou asked with admiration: "Mr. Wu, can you tell me why Zhao Ri is willing to give us tens of millions?"
Wu Di smiled and said, "This is too simple. From an economics point of view, this is called the sunken cost effect. Zhao Ri has given you one million. Although the Zhao family is rich, as long as it has paid the cost, he will definitely not be willing to lose the cost he has paid completely."
"So, if you can't let go of the cost that has already sunk, he will definitely invest more costs to make use of you and want to continue to finish this."
"This... feels quite profound." Li Crocodile said, ignorantly.
Wu Di smiled again and said, "To put it simply, it's like you bought stocks and lost money, but you don't want to cut your losses, so you can only invest more, hoping to get the money back one day."
