Ransom to bounty

 

John is the president of a company. Once he went on a trip with his wife and the child was kidnapped. The kidnappers demanded a ransom of $1 million.

　　 The husband and wife thought twice before calling the police for help. Unfortunately, the gangster seemed to have insight into the police's reconnaissance tactics and knew everything about the police's actions, so the police were unable to rescue John's child. After several days of suffering, John's father decided to agree to the gangster's request to pay 1 million dollars so that their children can return safely.

　　 The news of his kidnapping is being reported on TV, and he also analyzed: “From the past records, in such cases, even if the gangster gets the ransom, the chance of the hostage coming back safely is still very small.”

At this time, John thought: "In this case, why don't I turn this ransom into a bounty so that people in the city can help me save the child. Under the reward, there must be a brave husband, and maybe my child has a better chance of being rescued. "

After 　　 settled his attention, he went straight to the TV station. He used the time of the Morning Post of the News Bureau to publicly announce the kidnapping of his child to the public on TV. He hoped that everyone could help rescue his child. After all, John poured all the 1 million dollars on the anchor station, and then said to everyone: "As long as anyone can help me save my child, the 1 million ransom will become a reward."

　　 John's move was far beyond everyone's expectations. Especially the gangster who kidnapped John's child, after seeing the report that John turned the ransom into a bounty, he was even more at a loss.

　　Some gangsters think: "Now that John turns the ransom into a bounty, it is better to send the child back, and pretend to be the hero who rescued the child, he can also get a reward of 1 million.

　　 But the leader of the gangster insisted on opposing sending the child back.

　　 In this way, the gangsters who had acted in the same way, because of different opinions and disputes with each other, ended up in conflict and killed each other. Their infighting alarmed nearby neighbors, and someone called the police.

　　 The police discovered that these gangsters were kidnappers who had committed kidnappings, so they were brought to justice and the children were successfully rescued.

　　 [Successful interpretation]

　　Many people do things in a conventional way, but it is difficult to get the result they want. Turning the ransom into a bounty may be a dead end in the usual way. But breaking the rules and playing cards outside of common sense can sometimes find a way to success.
