Chapter 845: Danger Savage Danger (Part II)

"You are short of money???!"

A cry of surprise came from the office of Cat Getan University, and the thick doubt contained in it could be heard clearly even from a few kilometers away.

Schiller widened his eyes, looked at Bruce sitting opposite him, and said: "Say it again, you are short of what???!"

"!"

Bruce spread out the hands he had placed on the table and said: "I am short of money now."

Schiller took a deep breath and said: "Bruce, do you think that after you hand in all the summaries and papers, I can't do anything to you? Instead of running here to play with me, you might as well go back and explain to your butler why you can't get the excellent graduate student..."

"I'm serious." Bruce's expression was very serious. He said: "The Wei En Group's liquid capital is in an emergency, and I urgently need to make money now."

"Then you can just invent something... Oh, wait a minute, those inventions of yours don't seem to be easy to sell, then you go to the bank to get some... Forget it, you are a stubborn person, it's not difficult to make it look real, but it will cause inflation... Alright, then how do you plan to make money?" Schiller looked at Bruce and asked.

No matter what, Batman was a good person. Although sometimes he was overly paranoid and looked like a mental patient, his moral bottom line was definitely higher than others. It was still very difficult to let him go to cheat or sneak attack.

Especially, if it was directly going to the bank to rob money or print money, it might affect the lives of ordinary people. It was normal for Bruce not to be willing. But if this wasn't involved, and he wanted to get money through regular channels, especially getting a large amount of money in a short time, it could be a bit troublesome.

At this time, Bruce spat out a name: "Vandal Savage."

Schiller raised an eyebrow and said: "You have your eye on his property? Alright, he should be quite rich..."

In the design process of DC comics, Savage was very rich. It was said that he had accumulated countless wealth over 50,000 years. Although this setting was very unreasonable, at least according to Captain Cold and Mirror Master, he should be in a stage of being stupid and rich now.

Schiller smiled, sat down, looked at Bruce, and said: "You mean, you want to get some money from Savage, then what do you plan to do?"

"I came here just to ask you what you plan to do." Bruce looked into Schiller's eyes and said: "I think you are better at this."

Schiller opened his eyes a bit, showing a slightly surprised expression. He didn't expect that Batman had indeed changed a lot. He finally learned the essence of cheating and sneak attacking, that is, you can not do it, and you can not know how to do it, but you must know who can do this.

"Alright, I think it's not difficult to find him, subdue him, or even kill him. It's a bit difficult to squeeze him dry." Schiller said.

"If what Captain Cold said is correct, Savage has served as many monarchs in the world, then he might also have some qualities of preferring death to surrender. You might be able to catch him, lock him up, and then force him to reveal the source of his property, but perhaps he won't tell you even if he dies."

"If you want to achieve the goal of squeezing his property dry, there is only one way, and that is to let him pay voluntarily." Schiller paused after saying this sentence. Bruce understood that perhaps his professor had changed into another person.

Sure enough, Schiller showed a gentle smile. Unlike the cold smile that Schiller was always accustomed to showing, this smile looked very sincere and warm. Except for being a bit creepy, there were no shortcomings.

"If we want to use a method to make people consciously take out the money in their pockets, we must understand, what do they want most? What does Savage want most?"

"Rule the world." Bruce replied.

"That's right, but this might just be one of his big goals. In order to rule the world, he will make various actions, such as buying off those people in Central City, but they will all lead to one result in the end."

"He bought off the people in Central City and came to Cat Getan, and finally came to Cat Getan himself. This shows that he has some plots for Cat Getan, or that he thinks Cat Getan plays an important role in his big goal of ruling the world."

"Before ruling the world, he wants to rule Cat Getan first. I can only say that he is a person with a challenging spirit."

"I think he might feel that Cat Getan is relatively chaotic, which is convenient for fishing in troubled waters, and if he can unify this chaotic city, he can use it as a forward position for ruling the East Coast." Bruce could understand Savage's idea relatively well.

After all, only from the perspective of someone who had lived for 50,000 years and hadn't ruled the world yet, such a strategy wouldn't be surprising.

"He has great ambition for Cat Getan, and so far, he shouldn't have encountered much resistance, so he feels that his previous set of methods works. If you want to make him change his methods and follow the path we guide, you must first make him encounter some resistance."

Schiller stood up, walked to the whiteboard in the office, drew a symbol on the whiteboard, and then said: "From a psychological point of view, if you want to guide a person to act according to your will, you must do the following points."

"First, you must create resistance for him, and you must make him realize that with you, his previous behavioral logic doesn't work."

"Then, create an environment where he must rely on you."

"In this environment, he only has one choice for you, but because of his behavioral pattern, he is rejected by the only option. So, in order to obtain a sense of security, he can only passively change his behavioral logic and concepts to cater to you. And after he has paid such a high price to choose you, when he wants to change, the sunk cost will become his shackles."

"Humans can all be domesticated like this. In a closed environment, when there is only one road to walk, they are willing to pay the price of changing themselves, walk on this road. When walking on this road, they will gradually be shaped by this road, and then instead become supporters of this road. When others want to pull him away from this road, he will instead feel resistance and fear."

"This is why many people clearly know they have been cheated, they clearly recognize that the other party is a liar, but they are still willing to listen to his words and pay the price continuously, because their behavioral patterns have been domesticated."

Schiller knocked on the blackboard and said: "If you want to use these theoretical knowledge to cheat, you need to do a few key points. First, create a closed environment, or make the other party feel that this is a closed environment."

"Provide a sense of privacy, making people wrongly estimate the consequences of their actions. Simply put, it is to take it first, you must give it first, let them feel that their actions will not pay too high a price, and the loss will not be too much. Compared with what they possess, it is not worth mentioning."

"For example, I am asking you to pour a glass of water now, and then you can answer a question you have always wanted to know. Are you willing to go?"

Bruce looked at Schiller and said: "Perhaps I was willing to go before, perhaps I have done this before, but now I will not do this again. If I want to know the answer to a question, I will find it myself."

"Then why did you come to find me now? You took the initiative to find me, not me asking you to come. You have something to ask of me, I am just asking you to help me pour a glass of water. This is nothing to you, but it can slightly compensate for the loss you brought to me by occupying my time."

Bruce just wanted to say something, but Schiller spread his hands and said: "I made the words more straightforward, so you heard that this is actually a trick, but as long as you modify it slightly, play the emotional card, find resonance, its core content is very easy to be covered up."

"And as long as you take the first step, the domestication process begins. You feel that you haven't lost anything in this step, but in fact, what you lost is the most precious independent judgment."

"The so-called independent judgment is, when I propose that I want to drink water, your first independent thought should be 'Am I thirsty?', because you are thirsty, so you want to drink water, which is an independent judgment based on reality."

"But once you fall into a judgment of whether I should pour water for you, what I paid and what you paid, what I gained and what you gained, this independent judgment based on reality will be weakened."

"Once you put aside the facts and only fall into the judgment of gains and losses between you and me, the things behind will get out of control."

"So..." Schiller looked at Bruce and said: "If you want Savage to pay voluntarily, the first three steps are the most important."

"You have to make him feel that he is in an isolated environment, then make him encounter resistance and difficulties, so as to realize that the previous behavioral logic is no longer reliable, and finally, blur his logic based on reality, and turn his way of thinking to the judgment of gains and losses for a certain number or result."

On the way out of the office building, Schiller's words kept circling in Bruce's ears. He didn't expect that there was so much theoretical support for cheating.

But at the same time, he also felt surprised. It seemed that the laws of human psychology and behavioral science could be used in everything related to people, and thus gain an advantage.

If he hadn't learned these theories, but others had, they mastered knowledge beyond his cognition and applied it to practice, then what method should be used to restrict them?

For this reason, there was only one way, and that was that others learned and he also learned. He had to learn better, so that he could fight poison with poison.

Thinking this way, Bruce returned to Wei En Manor. He withdrew his thoughts and put his focus on Savage.

After Schiller explained it this way, he did clarify his thoughts. Simple violent means were indeed difficult to make him pay, but violence could pave the way for subsequent plans.

Just as Schiller said, he had to create some resistance for Savage, so that he could realize that his previous behavior of throwing money to recruit people wouldn't work, and then he would think of new methods. And once he thought, God would laugh.

If Savage wanted to seek a new solution, Bruce believed that his good professor would definitely propose a shocking plan to help him rule Cat Getan, sweep the East Coast, unify North America, rule the Americas, take down the Pacific in one fell swoop, and dominate the whole world again.

This plan was just like Schiller himself, good in all aspects, but it was just a bit expensive. ===== CHAPTER 846 =====
