Chapter 23: Is this the former leader returning to the organisation?
Lin Yang feigned ignorance, wearing an innocent expression and said, “My car is still parked down there. I have to get back to work!”
“Hey, don’t worry!” Peter reassured, patting Lin Yang’s shoulder with a smile. “You can join us. It means you’re the chosen one! Destiny has marked you for wealth!”
“I’m a bit superstitious,” Lin Yang admitted. “So, today’s earnings are guaranteed?”
“Absolutely!” Peter affirmed. “Come on, everyone, give up your seats for this new member.”
Lin Yang was surrounded and seated on a stool, contemplating how to extricate himself. Aware that he was live broadcasting, he knew that if viewers discovered he had unintentionally stumbled into a pyramid scheme, someone might call the police. His strategy shifted to cooperation, easing their vigilance until the police could intervene.
Rather than plotting an escape, Lin Yang changed his demeanour and asked Peter eagerly, “Is it true? Can I really become rich?”
Observing Lin Yang’s excitement, Peter, a seasoned pyramid scheme lecturer, recognised the signs of susceptibility. Lin Yang’s flicker confirmed Peter’s expectations. He would likely stay. Peter decided it was time for the first crucial lesson.
“Brother, let me tell you what we’re doing here,” Peter began. “You’ve heard about the economic structure built in three steps, right? The two-hundred-year plans and the one-hundred-year unshakable plan?”
Lin Yang, feeling lost, shook his head. Peter sighed, “You’re unlucky. Ordinary people rarely encounter such a fortune-making project. But lucky for you, you met me today.”
Peter delved into the history of a plan initiated during the reform and opening up period, aiming to enrich one group and subsequently enrich others. He emphasised that the plan had been temporarily halted, leading to societal imbalance. The government had discreetly resurrected the plan, making the second and third batches of people rich.
“The confidentiality is high, and ordinary people don’t know about it,” Peter explained confidently. “Our group is currently working on the ‘Blue Sky Project.’ Ever heard of it?”
Lin Yang was baffled.
“No,” he admitted.
“That’s expected,” Peter continued. “Such a lucrative project is kept under wraps. We’re in the launch phase, and with an investment of $68,000, you can earn a million annually. You could see returns in the tens of millions in three years.”
He then appealed to Lin Yang’s desire for wealth, portraying the project as an opportunity for him to be among the first batch of shareholders at the top of the pyramid. Peter concluded by emphasising the importance of not forgetting one’s roots and encouraged Lin Yang to invite friends and family to join the venture.
Lin Yang, looking amazed, nodded eagerly. “Hmm!”

[Damn it! So it’s not a pyramid scheme, is it? This is too nonsense. What are the two-hundred-year plans, two hundred years of unshakable consideration of the overall situation? No one believes this, right?].
[These people are almost starved to the brim, still dreaming of spring and autumn dreams. Seeing their dull eyes, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are walking dead.].
[Blue Sky Project, buy a car in the first year, buy a house in the second year, have assets exceeding 100 million in the third year, and build a villa on the moon in the fourth year.].
[It’s over, it’s over. Lin Yang entered an MLM organisation by mistake. Seeing his posture, I’m afraid he won’t be allowed to leave. Hurry up and call the police!].
[Are there still pyramid schemes these days? I thought they were all gone.].
….
Peter noticed Lin Yang’s impressive skills.
I’m also proud of my persuasive abilities.
“Would you like to join our successful and wealthy family now?” Asked Peter.
Lin Yang looked thrilled and nodded eagerly, “Absolutely, yes!”
“Great! Take the stage and introduce yourself!”
“Let’s welcome our new friend with applause!”
Clap, clap, clap ~~~.
After Lin Yang stood up, he approached the whiteboard and addressed the audience.
With an innocent expression, he spoke energetically, “Hello everyone, my last name is Ma. In my youth, my family was in the beer business.”
“That’s why my full name is Ma Mai Beer!!”
Just as he finished, Peter exclaimed, “Alright! Let’s applaud and welcome the beer-selling Ma!!”
The audience was bewildered.
Beer-selling Ma? Is that a kind of insult?!
After the applause, Lin Yang continued, “Firstly, I want to thank Peter for giving me this chance to be part of such a lucrative project.”
“From today, I’m a member of this prosperous family!”
“Let’s work together!!”
When he mentioned working hard, Lin Yang clenched his fist and waved it excitedly. This astonished everyone present. This was the first time he witnessed such enthusiasm.
Is it really that thrilling to join?
Peter was the first to react. He quickly shouted, “Work hard, work hard!!”
Everyone clenched their fists and waved them up and down while tapping their feet.
“Hard work, hard work!!!”
….
Wait until the sound subsided.
Still in high spirits, Lin Yang stood on the stage and delivered an impassioned speech.
“I can sense the enthusiasm from everyone.”
“Join the big family of prosperity and wealth, and enjoy the success and riches.”
“Our motto is, sleep on the floor today, be the boss tomorrow!”
“Come on, come on, come on!!!!”
Observing the excited Lin Yang on stage, even Peter was dumbfounded.
Am I the speaker, or is he?
Regardless, this persuasive speech was quite passionate. Even he felt the urge to shout.
“Sleep on the floor today, and be the boss tomorrow!! Come on, come on, come on!!!” Thump thump thump~~~.
Seeing this, others immediately joined in.
“Come on, come on, and come on!!!”
Boom~~~.
….
At this point, the atmosphere was ignited by Lin Yang. On stage, his voice intensified.
“The blue sky project, the success project, life is short, with only one opportunity. Miss it, and it’s gone forever.”
“Follow me, and I’ll make you millionaires, sharing a fantastic life!”
“Get wealthy, get wealthy, get wealthy!!!!”
Boom, boom~~~.
This time, Peter didn’t need to say anything. Everyone was pumped up, raising fists and stomping feet!
“Get wealthy, get wealthy, get wealthy!!!!”
Boom, boom~~~.
…
The Netizens in the live broadcast room were dumbfounded.

[Holy shit, why do I feel like he’s turning his back on customers? What does it mean to follow you to become a billionaire? Dude, what the hell did you do before?].
[Look it up. This guy was engaged in pyramid schemes before and was definitely not lower than the manager level. How the hell was he tricked into it? This is obviously the boss who has returned home, okay!].
[Don’t say it, I’m so excited, I can’t help but want to shout. No wonder pyramid schemes are so brainwashing. I want to go in and experience this damn atmosphere.].
[Thinking too much, pyramid schemes are divided into north and south schools, and the environment here seems to be the moderate school, mainly brainwashing. It seems to be the northern faction. If you are disobedient, you will be beaten to death. Do you really think that MLM is joking with you?].
[Many years ago, I was tricked into joining a pyramid-selling organisation, and I went to class every day after dinner. There is a big wolfhound tied to the door. No one can leave. Otherwise, they will be beaten severely. But then, when I ate every day, I only ate half of it and quietly fed the rest to the big wolf dog. It became familiar, and I stopped barking when it saw me. One night, when the moon was dark, and the wind was high, while they were all asleep, I came to the gate… and gave the dog away!!].
