After looking at the ring on his hand, Li Ming nodded with satisfaction.

Under the influence of nerve paralysis components in the compound poison, Li Ming did not notice anything that was happening on his body. He still debugged the ring on his hand and said, "It looks good, just let it go."

"Eighty million, spend so much money to buy a ring?" Si Si hurriedly took off the ring in his hand and put it in the ring box, shaking his head like a rattle and said.

Although there was no picture, Li Baiye, who was standing beside him, smiled and said, "Master's wife, you look really good when you wear it. The master is not without money. What's the point of saving him?"

Si Si said embarrassedly, "People say diamonds are a scam, and we don't need to buy such expensive ones."

Diamonds are the product of carbon elements in extremely harsh natural environments. When they were first discovered by the world, they were once loved by the world for their dazzling appearance. However, with the gradual exploration and exploitation of minerals, as diamond production surged, a monopoly organization in the world also appeared in this world that controlled diamond exports.

After monopoly, the rare attributes of the product can be defined, so under marketing, this dazzling stone is naturally linked to love, so some people equate scams with diamonds.

"It's not precious enough, so it's a scam that sells expensively? Where do so many scams come from? It's just an excuse for a group of poor people to comfort themselves." Li Ming smiled, took off the ring in his hand and put it in a tray, and then said to the service staff, "I want it."

Then Li Ming said to Sisi, "Understanding this issue starts with understanding what the essence of value is."

"Shouldn't it be that the more precious things are, the more expensive they are?" Since Li Ming had decided, Si Si didn't say anything more, so he asked.

Looking at the waiter who was handling the relevant procedures, Li Ming felt a little quickened for no reason, but he didn't care. Then he said, "The air is particularly precious to everyone, but is it valuable?

Originally, it was just a random sentence, but after Li Ming asked this question, Si Si suddenly realized that he had never thought about this question, so he asked, "What is the factor that determines the price of a commodity? Is it rare?"

"The three-legged toads are sparse, the hair on the top of the bald man's head, the manuscript of an unknown writer, are they valuable?"

When these questions that he had asked Mo Jingchun again appeared, Li Ming only found them very interesting, so he smiled and said,

"Commodities have two values, one is the value that is needed, and the other is the value that is generated through exchange.

Use value is the natural attribute of a commodity, and value is the social attribute of a commodity.

To give a simple and easy-to-understand example, clothes are used to wear, keep warm, or dress up. This is a natural attribute. Clothes are produced by humans and can be used for exchange and circulation. This is a social attribute.

But these two are not contradictory and complement each other.

When people's demand for a certain commodity becomes more and more vigorous, if the output of this item cannot meet people's huge demand, it will occupy a more important position in circulation and exchange, and therefore the price it has risen."

After a pause, Li Ming concluded, "In fact, it is human desires and needs that determine the value of goods. When people crave an item, it is valuable."

After thinking about it, Si Si felt something was wrong, so he raised his own doubts, "Diamonds and coal are essentially the same thing, but why are the price of diamonds higher than coal?"

Li Ming was about to speak, but then his breathing was a little tight, and while his heart was palpitations, the cold sweat on his forehead began to seep out, "Well... I mean... I mean...."

What Li Ming wants to say is that the value of a commodity depends on the utility of a commodity, that is, it comes from human desires and human valuation of a commodity, rather than determined by the inherent nature of the commodity. (Presented by British economist Lloyd in 1833)

What Li Ming wants to say is: As the possession of items increases, the human desires or the effectiveness of items decreases. Under the limited conditions of items, in order to maximize the satisfaction of people's desires, these items must be appropriately distributed among various desires, so that the various desires of people are satisfied to the same extent. Under the conditions where the original desires have been satisfied, to obtain more enjoyment, only new pleasures can be discovered or old pleasures are expanded. (Gosen's theorem)

The thoughts in his brain were very clear, but Li Ming couldn't say it for a moment, and with the words stumbled, his right hand began to tremble for no reason.

"What's wrong with you?" I realized that Li Ming's condition was a little wrong, Si Si reached out to grab Li Ming's hand and frowned.

"My… means that the price of diamonds is higher than coal because the inflated desires of people need a carrier, and human desires are the key to determining value."

Li Ming, whose consciousness was already a little blurred, struggled to support his elbows on the counter, forcibly suppressing the constant collision of upper and lower gums, and expressed his last will to Sisi before slumping, "Contact Professor Wyler, Jean...he will make a decision..."

After saying that, Li Ming still held his body tightly before losing his will.

Since I came to this world, I have never kneeled down. Even if I might die now, I would choose to stand!

"Master!" Li Baiye, who had always wanted to kill Li Ming, felt the moment when Li Ming fell, and a thrilling force erupted, which immediately overturned Si Si. Then he gritted his teeth with red eyes, "You... are not allowed to get close. Whoever gets close to me, don't force me to force me!"

With only one month left before the New Year, there is a small house in the sheep intestine path in Qicha Mountain in Baiye City. A van is parked at the door of the house. At this time, three big bearded men were carefully placing several oval cylindrical glassware filled with liquid in boxes fixed with snaps.

"You fuck you up, I don't want to die yet." The boss looked at the third brother holding a box in one hand and holding a cigarette in the other hand, and immediately cursed in anger.

The second child who was helping him beside him whispered, "Brother, there is no need to be so nervous. This thing cannot be fried without catalyst."

The boss glanced at the boxes behind him and said with some pain, "I won't say whether it can be fried or not, you're looking like a cunning thing."

There were seven square wooden boxes one meter wide and one meter long at the door of the room behind the three of them, and all the wooden boxes were oval cylindrical glassware filled with green liquid.
