Chapter 709 The Gosling Effect

At the end of November, Chen Qing told Zhang Zhong the good news that the preliminary preparations for "Mr. Suspect

Ten million, Lin Fei 16 million, Lin Song 14 million.

"The Devotion of Suspect X" is not famous among all Zhang Zhong's works, but this is relatively speaking, it is still a big IP in itself.

It already has the support of a huge fan group, and with the pairing of Lin Fei and Lin Song, it is like double insurance, and the box office should not be bad.

Of course, Zhang Zhong did not expect too much from the box office of this movie. He did not expect that this movie could become the annual box office hegemon like "Ten Little Indian Boys" and "The Last Starfish Man". In his heart, it gave

The box office target set for "The Devotion of Suspect X" is between one billion and two billion.

In today's era when billions are as numerous as dogs and two billions are everywhere, a box office of one billion to two billion can only be considered good.



Zhang Zhong stood on the small commodity street behind the community, feeling a little dazed.

The originally bustling commercial street became much deserted. Notices from the municipal department were posted on the street lamp posts. The notice stated the time of the order to close - yesterday.

Originally, this street was built to rectify roadside stalls. Two rows of prefabricated houses occupied the original curb, making the road busy and narrow.

Now, in order to widen the road and make concessions for the city appearance, these prefabricated houses will be demolished in a few days and turned into a wide road again.

The corners that were once filled with garbage are now much cleaner, with only some stains left on the ground due to years of accumulation of garbage.

Disappearing along with the garbage pile was the stubborn little Teddy.

Maybe it was lucky and found a home somewhere else, or maybe it was adopted by a kind person and changed from a wild dog to a domestic dog.

Zhang Zhong took one last look at the empty commercial street corner, then turned and walked home with the vegetables in hand.

When they got home, Xu Yuhan and Pengpeng were in the living room. Pengpeng was lying on the coffee table playing Minesweeper, while Xu Yuhan was looking for something on his mobile phone.

Zhang Zhong put the dishes down, then walked over, first looked at Pengpeng's mine clearance progress, and then stretched his head to look at Xu Yuhan's mobile phone screen.

Feeling Zhang Zhong's gaze, Xu Yuhan raised her head and smiled, "How about it, are you interested in helping me clear the shopping column?"

Tomorrow is Double Twelve, and it’s another day for shopaholics to go shopping.

Double Eleven and Double Twelve are not as popular in this world as they are on Earth, but there are many shopping festivals. There is a shopping festival almost every month, such as January 1st, February 2nd, and March 3rd.

March 8, March 21, May 1, May 20, May 21, June 1, June 18, July 7, August 8

, September 9th, October 10th, November 11th, November 23rd, December 12th...

Xu Yuhan is not a shopaholic, but she is also a woman. Although she knows that it is all the merchants' tricks, she still can't help but put things in the shopping column whenever she sees the activities launched on the shopping website.

Sometimes there are too many things in the shopping column that exceed her budget, and she has to spend some time making a decision.

For example, on the 11th of last month, when she was checking out, she discovered that the items in her shopping column had unknowingly amounted to more than 10,000 Chinese coins.

In the end, she reluctantly gave up and deleted it again and again, finally leaving two thousand yuan worth of things.

In fact, there is absolutely no need for her to be so frugal. Even if Zhang Zhong doesn't help her clear the shopping cart, the money she earns is enough for her to spend, and she should still be able to afford spending tens of thousands of yuan every month.

"Okay, you can send me the payment link later." Zhang Zhong agreed casually.

Xu Yuhan tilted her head and said, "Can you please stop agreeing so readily? I don't have any sense of accomplishment at all."

"Can this be related to a sense of accomplishment?"

"Yeah, haven't you heard of the gosling effect? ​​If you reject me at first and then agree after my persistence, I will feel that I have made a profit. On the contrary, you agreed easily from the beginning.

, I will feel that I am at a loss." Xu Yuhan said with a smile.

Zhang Zhong curled his lips and said with a smile, "Don't I think you know it very well? Isn't the discounting routine of these merchants the gosling effect? ​​You are still fooled."

"Didn't I make it very clear? Although this effect may not necessarily benefit me, it can make me very happy."

Zhang nodded and said, "You are right, it is better to be a happy fool than to be a troubled smart man."

"You said I was a fool."

Seeing that Xu Yuhan had the urge to run away, Zhang Zhong said quickly, "No, no, no, you are different from ordinary fools. You are a smart person who is good at pretending to be stupid."

"Yes, this is called rare confusion."

"Okay, just stay confused here. I'm going to cook. Today's salmon is quite fresh. Let's have steamed salmon tonight."

"It's rare to be confused..."

Xu Yuhan scratched the air behind Zhang Zhong to vent her anger.

"Oops, I stepped on a thunderbolt."

At this time, Pengpeng suddenly screamed. Just when she was about to succeed, she suddenly stepped on a thunderbolt.

Rubbing his eyes, Pengpeng looked at Xu Yuhan, "Can I play another round?"

"Yes, but you have to wait until today's sketching homework is over." Xu Yuhan said.

"Well, then I won't play."

When Pengpeng heard that she had to do homework, she quickly put down the pad.

"You have to draw sketches for fun or not. I bought you a few more pens. Use up the current pens quickly so that you can use new ones later."

"How can we use up so much?"

"Use as much as you can. I bought it for you with great difficulty. Don't let it go to waste."

"Who told you to buy so much? Dad said you were deceived by those selling things." Pengpeng made a grimace and said with a smile.

Xu Yuhan's eyes stood up, "You're such a lazy girl, let's see if I don't spank you."

"Hit someone, beat someone..."

In the end, Xu Yuhan cleared the shopping column herself. When Zhang Zhong asked her, she smiled and said: More than a thousand yuan is too cheap for you to show your courtesy. Next time I will buy some expensive things and bleed you.

Zhang Zhong smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll wait until you let me bleed profusely."

Xu Yuhan has said this several times, but she has never bought anything expensive until now.

The old couple went to Hu Huifang's colleague's house tonight. The family had a granddaughter. They went there to eat wedding eggs. Today they went to have a formal dinner. They had already visited the baby once before when the baby was born.

He praised Zhang Zhong enthusiastically for how beautiful his little granddaughter was.
