Chapter 176 Waiting for Results
The most famous and popular game in game theory is the prisoner's dilemma.
It comes from an experiment conducted by Merrill Flood and Melvindresher for the RAND Corporation in the 20s.
It was later mentioned by Albert Tucker in a lecture at the Department of Psychology at Stanford University and named the prisoner's dilemma.
Anyone who has had a little knowledge of economics has probably heard the name of this theory.
Seeing Ma Liang's curious look, Chu Jianghe explained to him.
"The prisoner theory, simply put, is that there are two prisoners, let's call them A and B. We want to convict these two prisoners, but because our evidence is insufficient, it is not enough to convict these two people yet."
"So we held the two men separately and gave them the same conditions."
"1. If both of them deny the crime, each will be sentenced to one year in prison."
"2. If both of them confess, each will be sentenced to eight years."
"3. If one of the two confesses and the other denies, the one who confesses will be released, and the one who denies will be sentenced to ten years."
"Everyone has two choices, one is to confess, the other is to deny. If you were one of the two people, A and B, what would you choose?"
After Chu Jianghe finished speaking, Ma Liang thought about it carefully and said, "Brother, if I were one of them, I would choose to deny it. In this case, if both people deny it, then everyone only needs to A one-year sentence will suffice. With this choice, the loss will be minimal for both people."
After hearing Ma Liang's choice, Chu Jianghe smiled half-heartedly: "Oh? Do you think this choice is the best choice for the two of you? If the other party confesses, you choose to deny it, but you will be sentenced to ten years."
Ma Liang thought for a while, and finally nodded and said, "That's true, but I still think both of them will choose to deny it."
Regarding his choice, Chu Jianghe was not surprised, and said: "The tenants in this yard now are in a similar situation to what I told them. They only have two choices, to move or not to move. They can get 300 yuan for moving together." , as long as one person doesn’t move, they can only get 200 yuan. If they don’t move, they won’t get a penny. What do you think they will do?”
Ma Liang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Brother, I don't know what they will choose, but I think it would be more cost-effective for them to move together. If they don't move, they will not only have no money." Take, when the contract expires, we will definitely not make them comfortable."
Chu Jianghe chuckled: "Then let's just wait and see."
After saying that, he took out a book and started reading quietly.
Ma Liang was stunned and realized that Brother Chu had already prepared, even the book was ready.
The room was small, and he didn't have a place to relax. He could only find a place to sit and smoke there.
Throughout the morning, no one in the courtyard took the initiative to come to the penthouse. Ma Liang was a little impatient waiting. He was not a patient person like Chu Jianghe.
But Chu Jianghe was still reading quietly. He couldn't act too impatient, so he could only endure it.
Chu Jianghe had noticed something unusual about him a long time ago. Seeing that he was a little restless, he said, "You go out and buy some food. Let's make a meal here at noon."
When Ma Liang heard Chu Jianghe's instructions, he felt like he was being pardoned. He happily agreed and strode out the door. He had been suffocated in that small room that morning. He would rather ride three wheels outside than stay there. Ku et al.
Chu Jianghe was reading quietly there, but the tenants' homes were not peaceful.
The 300 yuan was like a tempting bait hanging there, which made the people in the courtyard feel as uncomfortable as a cat clawing at it.
That's 300 yuan, which is not a small sum for people like them. It means that they can get several months of salary in vain, so they can't turn a blind eye.
If you want to eat, that means moving, which is no small matter for the family.
Don't eat it, they are unwilling to do so. If someone wants to move out and takes 200 yuan from the young landlord, they will be angry.
If they moved out together or stayed together, maybe these people would feel better.
They are afraid that if they stay while others quietly take the money and move away, they will feel unbalanced again.
Since ancient times, people have been worried about the lack of resources and the uneven exchange of goods. Everyone is worried that others will take advantage of them and that they will not get any benefits. However, they can’t make the decision to move soon. It’s really embarrassing!
The relationship between the tenants of these courtyard houses cannot be said to be close, and they are obviously not monolithic. The moving matters are all discussed at home, and they are not discussed together.
Aunt Qi's house.
The family sat around a small square table and were discussing the matter, not even bothering to eat lunch.
Seeing that her husband had been smoking cigarettes, Aunt Qi said impatiently: "Master, please make a decision quickly. I just have to wait for one day. If you wait any longer, the day lilies will get cold."
Aunt Qi's wife said with an embarrassed look on her face: "Then we move according to your wishes? Where should we move? There is no place to put so many things. Where will we look for a house in the meantime?"
Aunt Qi had already thought of a countermeasure in her mind and said: "Put the things with my sister first. I will go back to my parents' house to live for a few days. You can work at the work for a few days and let our son go to a classmate's house. It's nothing more than that." As long as we get the money in a few days, we are still worried about not being able to find a house."
Aunt Qi's wife was a little hesitant: "Wouldn't it be good if other neighbors knew about this? It would seem that we are greedy for money."
Aunt Qi's eyes widened, and she became aggressive and said, "Whoever wants to say it, let them say it. I'm still afraid of them?! Anyway, we are moving, and we will no longer be neighbors in the future. Don't even think about it, at least 200 As for the yuan, our son is getting older and will get married soon, why don't you save some money for his wife?"
Aunt Qi's wife thought about her son's future marriage, and then thought about the meager salary from burning the boiler, and finally compromised: "Okay, it's up to you. Let's move."
Seeing that they had reached a consensus, Aunt Qi suddenly smiled and said, "Then I will go to the landlord and tell him that we are willing to move. I will see if I can get 300 yuan from him."
Aunt Qi's wife knew her temper, and originally wanted to persuade her not to go too far, but when she thought of getting an extra 100 yuan, her lips moved but no words came out.
Just let her go. It's already this time, so there's no need to worry about food and appearance.
At this time, Chu Jianghe and Ma Liang were having a meal together. They had meat and vegetables, and the two of them ate very deliciously.
