Chapter 897: Dead idol
Chapter 897 Excessive Idol
"When are you coming? The situation is urgent, I need you!"
After sending this message through BlackBerry, the pastoral agent in Detroit put down the phone.
Outside the window, there are crowds holding signs and parade, as well as police officers with lights on and live ammunition.
Detroit was once a successful city. General Motors, Ford and Chrysler are all headquartered here. The prosperity of the auto industry and the high welfare of auto workers have made Detroit an industrial center in the north-central part of the United States for a long time, as well as workers in the southern United States. The holy place of yearning.
The auto industry brought a large number of black workers. However, as white people fled in large numbers, the city began to depress. Even in downtown Detroit today, most of the population is black.
The high welfare of auto workers is the glory and tradition of the American auto industry. It opened the "auto era" of the United States, but it is also a heavy burden for sustainable development.
In order to save money, many street lights in Detroit have been shut down, which has worsened public security. The bad environment has discouraged prospective investors. Without investment, taxes will be levied less and less, and no other industries will be cultivated.
On the desk of the agent is a promotional material of WAVE travel company:
Whether you become a successful person is not important, what matters is whether you are living hard for your dreams.
Join us!
Beneath this slogan, there is a white man with thick hair, his thumbs up, his eight white teeth are smiling and his hair is so much that he looks fake.
It was only after this incident that the agent knew what a travel loan was. There are many so-called direct selling companies in the United States, which are actually “MLMs.” Nancy Jones, who claimed to be racially discriminated against, was one of the victims.
"WAVE Dream Journey" attracted a large number of people from the bottom of society.
The first step is to ask everyone: Do you like traveling? Do you like to travel to 1-2 countries for free every year?
The second step is to ask: Can I make money when I like to travel?
"WAVE Dream Journey" is not just a tourism product, the key is that it is also a good investment project. Participants can not only enjoy a high-quality travel life, but also make a lot of money while playing. The entrance fee for gold members is about 361 U.S. dollars, and a monthly membership fee of about 50 U.S. dollars, so that you can enjoy the various packages launched by the travel club at low prices.
These travel packages also sound very tempting. For example, take parents or children to take a hot air balloon, go diving with a couple, and take a family vacation to the beach. The price of a five-star hotel that a platinum member needs to pay is only equivalent to the price of a two- or three-star hotel. You can enjoy pick-up service and hotel Free upgrade service for suites and more.
These package fees are charged separately. Nancy used a mortgage to apply for a travel loan. She has already paid off the mortgage. However, this travel loan may cost her her house. The bank broke the door in the name of "property preservation". He entered, snatched her husband's ashes, and sent her a notice of breach of contract.
The operating model of this travel direct selling company is that after Nancy goes to play, she will recommend it to her friends if she feels good. If she successfully recommends to 4 people, she will be free of monthly fees, and she will have money to hit her every month. Card on. It costs $20 to recommend one person, and if you recommend 6 people in two months, you can get $570. So it’s actually a free tour, so it’s easy to recommend 6 people.
Just provide the front photo of the ID card, the photo of the dual-currency credit card and the mobile phone number, and then transfer and pay US$511 to complete the registration.
Black families often have many relatives, and Nancy quickly assembles enough numbers to enjoy life.
She went to many countries, although she did not fulfill her dream of traveling around the world, she almost went to Europe.
Tourism is a high-consumption behavior, and the pensions of Nancy and her sisters are not enough to maintain.
"Why do you want to apply for a loan with a real estate mortgage, Nancy! Why!" The agent snarled angrily, clutching his head.
Real estate profits are so high that auto financial institutions that provide car loans can't help but come in and get a share of the pie.
The most salient features of American cars are their large bodies and strong power. Of course, fuel consumption is also amazing. High fuel prices have made Americans more and more inclined to buy more fuel-efficient and compact Japanese cars.
Auto finance companies only provide loans to buy new cars. The vehicles were originally worthless. Two years later, they depreciated even more. They did not sell for a lot of money and lost their market value. However, classic cars have collection value and can be sold. A lot of money, but no one wanted to mortgage Nancy's "classic car" to the bank.
Nancy is an auto worker, she doesn’t mortgage her hard-bought house to auto financial institutions.
After a series of wrong choices, Nancy faces the problem of losing the house after paying the mortgage, but she will not move out so obediently, so she tells her neighbors about her discriminatory experience-which debt collection Will take away other people's ashes?
In the suburbs of Detroit, you can also see many luxury villas abandoned by white people when they fled. The slogan "No illegal invasion" is painted on them in English and Spanish.
There are also many churches among them. As the manufacturing industry is sluggish, many people have left. The pastoral agent can only find a few families by walking ten houses.
The abandoned city gave birth to a new tourism industry—urban exploration. A group of students drove from another state to an abandoned Catholic church during spring break. One of them became "obsessed" and a high school girl suddenly appeared. She started to talk to people in Latin, and she often failed Spanish when she was in school.
If a person becomes a doctor, he will understand some illnesses and at the same time he will have a little more imagination.
The pastoral district agent looked at this "decaying" city from the window, and suddenly felt slightly depressed about the future.
General Motors Finance has changed its name to Ally Bank. The auto manufacturing industry solves many employment problems. The United States will not let them go bankrupt. The Detroit Renaissance Center is the most beautiful place in Detroit. It is on the banks of the Erie River and the Canadian cities in the north. Windsor across the river.
The scenery looking out from the office building there should be different from what he sees now.
How to revive Detroit?
Some of the collections in the Detroit Museum of Art held by the city government, including paintings by Van Gogh, can also be sold as a historical site of Fort Wayne. But this can only solve the temporary problem. If Detroit cannot be put on a sustainable track, it will still sink.
New York’s Chrysler Building is already going to be sold. As a landmark building that often appears in Hollywood blockbusters, its symbolic significance is more than actual benefits.
The economic strength is much lower than that of Detroit, New York. Even landmark buildings like the General Motors building are not expected to sell at too high a price.
WAVE is on the list of the top 100 direct selling companies in the world. Its business model includes travel membership, member crowdfunding, reverse group buying, and direct sales promotion.
However, the company and business model that sounded such a tall, left only a mobile phone number to join.
If there is a man in the family, maybe Nancy will not consume impulsively.
But it's just maybe. God knows if there are any other "good dads" in his parish who are encouraged by their wives and children to make travel loans.
After a while, his phone made a vibrating sound.
The agent immediately ran over to check, and a line was written on the email: I’m in the Vatican.
"What do you mean?" the agent whispered inexplicably.
Followed by another letter: Those new heretics may be interested in this matter.
The agent patiently typed: I don’t want to make this matter in the media.
The other end came back quickly this time: Me too. I don’t want to be like a German. After the failure of the exorcism, I was not only sent to court, but also mocked by the media.
Acting: So you don’t plan to manage it anymore?
The other side: Is that girl your relative?
Agent: She is a believer.
The other end: Those who just go to church physically are not believers.
The agent sighed for a long time, and then began to write: Give me some mercy.
On the other side: I can call exorcism.
"What?" the agent said in surprise.
As if he had guessed his reaction, the other party immediately sent another email: teenagers are good at acting, and I have more important things to do.
Agent: Are you not coming?
The other end: If she doesn’t believe in God, it’s useless for me to come.
Agent: We are old friends.
On the other side: Don’t waste your opportunity to "seeking help off the court".
Then no matter what email is sent, the other party ignores it.
"No wonder people say that you are like a big-name star." The agent said sarcastically, and then he thought about it, and then started writing to another person.
The recipient's name is Constantine, and there are many people who call this name in his mailbox, at least a dozen, and he is carefully searching for the correct name.
After all, if the message is wrong, others might think he is crazy after seeing the content of the letter.
