While the neighbors were talking about Jenkins, he was just waking up in bed in his own home. After having dinner at Hathaway's place last night, the two have been talking in the study. The content ranged from recent anecdotes to occult knowledge, from the war on the other side of the mainland to the lace news of the kingdom's nobles. It was almost midnight before Jenkins wanted to say goodbye and leave.
But Hathaway pointed out that since he wanted to use "being a guest at a friend's house" as an alibi, it would be unnatural to leave at midnight.
So Jenkins slept in a guest room at Hathaway's place and just returned home this morning. Today the owner of the lumberyard is going to deliver the wood he purchased, and the fireplace is finally ready for use.
Although it was negotiated that the carriage pulling the goods would arrive around ten o'clock in the morning, Jenkins finally saw the boss who personally escorted the wood when it was close to lunch. According to the agreement, he found two workers to help Jenkins deal with the basement, and Jenkins also paid a lot of transportation expenses.
These are all necessary. In the foreseeable future, this house will always be his residence, so this gold pound cannot be saved.
It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon when these workers were sent away.
Jenkins calmed the cat, which was disturbed by the noise, and lit the fireplace in the living room. Putting the poker aside, looking at the bright yellow flame, he finally smiled.
In this way, Jenkins was finally free until the maid made dinner and tidied up the lawn outside the house. The sun has set and he hasn't been out all day today.
Pulling the set of sofas near the fireplace as planned, Jenkins turned off the gas lamp in the living room, sat on the sofa in his pajamas, and prepared to deal with the reply to Eldron.
"Perhaps tomorrow, Eldron will be able to collect the nets and arrest those scammers, so that I don't have to write any more letters."
He comforted himself like this, stroking the back of the cat, which made a sound similar to purring.
Not everyone, after hearing about "successful investment", sent cash directly to express their willingness to participate, like the gentleman on Green Avenue.
Most people were cautious about asking about the details of this investment, but they all showed great interest.
"You forced me to..."
Jenkins has already made up his mind. Considering the current somewhat embarrassing economic situation, he will not invest too much money in this matter. Therefore, in order to continue to maintain the lie of "investment success", the funds to ensure the authenticity of Miss Fabbri's identity can only be paid by the recipient himself.
So far, Jenkins has sent questionnaires to Eldron many times. In order to maintain authenticity, even if he does not receive a reply, he will occasionally send out small batches of questionnaires.
Because the content of the questionnaire involves living habits, and he formulates more detailed questions based on each questionnaire, he can almost use the content of the questionnaire to judge the economic situation of each recipient.
He doesn't want to be a scammer, he just wants to maintain his "just cause", so he will never cheat others. This night, Jenkins, who was determined to successfully disguise himself as "Miss Fabry with successful investment", spent a lot of time combing through thousands of replies, and then divided the respondents' economic conditions into five categories according to the details of the questionnaire. category.
To the wealthiest of those who replied, he exaggerated the profits of the mining business as much as he could. But at the same time, he said "tactfully" that those people in Nolan City who have already participated in the investment are unwilling to accept new participants with large amounts of money to share the gold pounds. In order to express apology and gratitude, and at the same time to prove that "Miss Fabry" has really earned a lot and no longer needs financial assistance, a 1 gold note is included in the envelope.
It was a lot of money, and it nearly wiped out Jenkins' pockets, but he knew it would pay off. Fishing always requires bait.
"Although this description is strange, this is definitely not a scam. I swear to the goddess, I will never seek a copper penny in this incident! This is a just cause!"
As he said this, he drew the holy emblem on his chest, then closed his eyes and lowered his head, clasped his fists in front of his chest.
For the respondent with the worst economic ability, Jenkins directly stated that the mining business can accept some small participants, the initial investment can be in shillings, and after making money, the investment can be increased.
Using this as a standard, write replies with five different statements according to the level of wealth and poverty, and then add the account number of the unregistered account just bought today at the end of the letters of the last three types of respondents, and they can directly transfer money to the account.
This also ensures that Jenkins will no longer reply to the three types of respondents who are not rich, but only accept the reply, and then transfer the funds to the account. Once they actually remit the money, Jenkins will transfer 150% of the "profit" to the remitted account within 3 to 5 working days.
The extra 50% came from the two wealthiest types of investors. After "rejecting" the investment intention this time, as long as they play hard to get, they can directly remit a large sum of money. Taking advantage of the time difference, claiming that "the amount of money is too large and needs to be turned over" is an excuse to delay the remittance time of the two groups of respondents, and continue to use the method of tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall to operate funds. As long as it works properly and Jenkins has the cash on hand, it can last at least three rounds and make everyone profitable.
Later, she hinted in words that Ms. Fabbri had more shares in the mining business, but her funds were limited. It is recommended that investors attract more peers to participate. In order to make the "business" fairer, each time a new investor is successfully recruited, they can get a larger reward...
This cycle goes on and on, as the master of all investments and the controller of the largest funds, as long as the income is distributed reasonably, the funds are gathered together, and the speed of profit distribution is slowed down to balance the income and expenditure, then at least half a year can be kept without being caught by lies. puncture.
As for what should happen after half a year, Jenkins believes that after such a long time, the scammers have been arrested, and he can hide his merits and reputation, withhold the last principal, and return the money according to the remittance records to all those who have not had time to make a profit. "losing" investors.
"Yes, this is very good, very good. No innocent person will be harmed, except that I will lose some time. Everyone is just temporarily 'depositing' their money in my account."
Jenkins firmly believes in this, although the above routine is what he learned from the column of popular science and legal system. But it's not a crime, yes, he insists on it.
