It costs almost one thousand dollars to buy a complete set of products. Not lamp can pay so much money on the spot. But it’s OK. They can let you take your time.

You don’t have that much money now? Simple! You can live in this warm family first, and then you can let your family transfer money here!

Don’t know when the obscene man has disappeared. Instead, two other cheaters come. In fact, I can see that they were good people, but the assimilated poor people. They are all looking dish-colored and taking us out of the small building through the back door.

This is obviously a southern building poor residential area, and the buildings here are all old. Behind it are many illegal buildings. All the simple sheds one by one, like psoriasis.

I see dozens of people are wandering around here, with muddy eyes but a little crazy, like wolves eager eating human beings, patrolling the new group.

We are taken into a low adobe house. Our new arrivals are deliberately separated. Only Dorra follows me closely. I have a cold look all my face. Someone is tring to separate Dprra from me, but when I am staring him coldly, he just retreats.

“This is our staff dormitory! It’s also a big family where all the brothers and sisters live!” A woman of about forty comes over enthusiastically to help me carry my luggage. I stop her, carry my bag to walk in with Dorra. Dorra is apparently scared. She is closing to me and whispering: “Are we really going to stay here?”

I shake my head and motion her not to speak.

The room is a shanty. Even the word crude is not enough to describe here.

There are only two rooms here. One for men and another one for women. There are only wooden beds, and nothing else.

I see there are some coal stoves outside some houses, burning honeycomb coal and smoking heavily.

“They are cooking.” The cheater who’s leading the way is smiling kindly, “When enter our big family, brothers and sisters take care of each other!”

Then he introduces one by one that people here are managed by piece. There are several people in a house. The senior cheaters, middle-level cheaters, junior cheaters and lamps are mixed up. The senior cheater acts as the leader. The people below should listen to the leader’s words and they must not refuse!

In their words: “It’s tempering! Cultivate your spirit of hard work! The harder you work, the more resilient you will be on the road to success in the future!”

Then he is immediately instilling a whole set of theories into me. First of all, he stresses that everyone is now a family, like brothers and sisters, are close comrades in arms on the road to wealth. Then he says that the whole family should be under unified management. Now we are still in the training stage, we need to accept the leader’s training. We need to hand over our ID card, mobile phone and other personal items first.

“For the sake of unified management.” He puts aside others, deliberately lowers his voice to say to me, “Young man, I am for your good. You think that so many people in the dormitory, what if your valuables are lost? I represent the company to help you keep it all together!”

I reply lightly: “No, I keep my things myself.”

Then no matter how he says, I just look at him coldly. The cheater is helpless but can only go. After a while, there are three cheaters come around me to brainwash me. It’s nothing but of I need to respect the leadership, need to obey management first, to understand that the current training is to build the foundation for future success! Later, I’m getting impatient, go straight to the corner, pick up a brick from the ground, throw in front of them, and say coldly: “I’m here to make a fortune, not to be managed! Whoever keeps talking nonsense, I won’t be polite anymore!”

After that, I raise my hand and knead it into a fist. I hit it with one punch, and the brick is broken into four pieces immediately.

These cheaters dare not to speak anymore, all retreat.

In fact, I understand that they will not force you at first. They won’t show their ferocity until they’ve emptied all your money. Moreover, I am not afraid of it!

Although the place is curde, but it is really safe, just like a big rat’s nest.

Originally, I was curious about why these people all look like malnourished. I finally understand when we have lunch.

We have boiled cabbage and very hard rice. Dorra frowns all the time and can’t eat after a few bites. The cheaters next are eating with relish. And they have been indoctrinating us with the spirit of hardship all the time.

“If you eat a little bitterness now, you will taste ten times sweetness in the future!” What surprises me is that when they are saying these words, the cheaters are very sincere, as if they really believe in this idea!

This is the real brainwashing!

The next things opened my eyes!

Who says cheaters have no technical? I find that these illegal pyramid sales are all psychologists!

In the afternoon, there’s a meeting in the room. They say it’s “family meeting”. Let everyone feel the warmth of the family! Especially the newcomers!

More than a dozen people, most of them are the cheaters, the rest are the lamps, including Dorra and I, are sitting around the room. Then we begin to sing some inspirational songs! At the beginning, some new people are restrained, while the other cheaters, men and women, are all exciting, shouting slogans to get rich successfully, and then singing songs in a high-pitched and exciting tone!

Then all the people sing together. The louder we are singing, the more the atmosphere gradually mobilizing. Then we start playing games. These are some very simple games, such as losing hands, beating drums and spreading flowers, and so on. For a while, people in the room are all laughing, no matter lamps or cheaters. Now there is no distinction between a cheater and a lamp. The atmosphere has been completely relaxed. Even Dorra, who has frowned for a day, is enjoying a little bit now.

Next, they have some activities of remembering bitterness and thinking sweetness.

The leader is announcing loudly to begin the process of “daily spiritual purification”, and all the cheaters are quiet immediately. Then the lights in the room are turned off. The leader is using a soft tone to induce everyone to relax, close the eyes, and carefully reflect on the pain we have experienced, the setbacks, the hardships of life, the tribulations, the suffering. If you don’t have these, think back to the grievances you suffered from childhood, such like failing in the exam, unemployment, lovelorn, those sad memories and so on. A few minutes later, seeing that everyone’s mood is almost up, the leader orders several old pyramid sales here to tell their histories, including young people and middle-aged people. Anyway, everyone speaks more and more miserable.

Everyone is an ordinary person, mostly experiences similar, kind of lovelorn, unemployment and other experiences are common. And the leader is skillful choose people to talk. Man and woman, old and young each out. Let them repeat again and again, immediately let others have a sense of empathy! The atmosphere reaches the climax instantly

Smart! It’s really smart!

Several of the girls who are listening even can’t help crying. At the end, the leader is shouting out in an excited voice: “Let’s release the pain in our hearts. In this big family, we are all relatives! There is no need to continue suffering alone! Let’s support each other and interdependence!”

In the end, most of the people are holding each other and crying!

I can’t help but marvel in my heart. It’s fucking amazing!

This is absolute master of psychology!

First, with those singing, games and other processes to weaken people’s heart defense, promote the integration of the atmosphere, let everyone further familiar with each other, and then with the memory of bitterness and sweetness to arouse the pain and weakness of all hearts, and finally become a family of all!

Even the little girl Dora can’t help falling a few tears too.

“Are we suffering now?”

“Yes!”

“Then do we want to get rich? Do we want to be success?”

“Yes!”

Then several cheaters are jumping out to explain how they feel the warmth of the big family, how they succeeded in their career, how many points they earned, what membership level they have reached and how much return they have gotten after they embarked on pyramid selling.

These words move the lamps who have been tricked into tears by the previous activities immediately!

I know it’s only the first day now!

If they do this once or twice a day, and constantly use these seemingly “family meetings” like activities. In fact, these are the strong repetitive psychological hints!

Day after day, over time, these newcomers will eventually be brainwashed! Those illegal pyramid sales theories will be deeply rooted in their minds! The whole person will become a pyramid-selling madman!

In the end, they will become one of the cheaters, and then use this set to deceive another bunch of the newcome lamps.
