Volume 1: Little People Return 2014 Chapter 011: Awakening Zhou Dongsheng
Gu Town, a prosperous industrial town, is also Zhou Dongsheng's hometown. During these days' morning runs, Zhou Dongsheng has almost run through the entire town.
Walking in the small town, Zhou Dongsheng often has a feeling of time and space confusion. Some non-existent things are still there , while things in memory have not yet appeared.
For example, the shopping malls and cinemas that will be built in the future, as well as the two international fast food chain giants, the white-bearded old man and the yellow clown, and the chain milk tea shops have not yet settled in Gu Town...
There are no large armies of yellow and blue riders on the road yet, and the next few real estate projects are still vacant lots. However, the high-speed rail station is already there, so it will be convenient for you to go to the provincial capital to redeem your prizes when the time comes.
Driving his family's small motorcycle, Zhou Dongsheng quickly stopped in front of a small shop with a sports lottery sign.
Perhaps because of the World Cup, the shop was particularly lively, filled with lottery players discussing with each other, including some old guys who were very knowledgeable about the analysis.
"Brazil will win tonight. The advantage of the host nation is no joke. Moreover, this five-star Brazilian team has a strong lineup. It's a pity that Neymar is injured. He has already scored 4 goals and had a chance to compete for the Golden Boot."
An extremely smart middle-aged man made an analysis with saliva flying all over his face, and his eyes revealed the confidence of "only you and Cao are in control", and the people present could not help but be impressed by his confidence.
"I'll listen to you and buy Brazil tonight!" "I followed him to buy before and made a small profit. I'll continue to buy tonight!" It seems that this old man still has some influence in this small area.
Zhou Dongsheng on the side turned around silently, but after tonight, it is still a question whether this brother dares to come here again.
"Boss, give me the order. Single type Brazil minus other. Give me the order of 10,000 yuan..." Zhou Dongsheng placed the order with the boss quietly.
"What?! That's ten thousand dollars. Are you playing such a big game, young man?" the boss exclaimed in surprise.
Having run the lottery shop for so long, ten thousand yuan is not the largest lottery ticket, but this kind of betting method is also the first time the boss has seen it.
The entire lottery shop fell silent as countless eyes turned towards this side.
"Are you sure, young man? Let me see, the odds of losing are 150 times. If you win, it will be 1.5 million!" The boss joked with a smile.
There were also sneers in the store, some people looked puzzled, and some people were excited when they heard the odds...
"I don't know either. My boss asked me to buy it. I don't know anything about football. Can't I buy it, boss?" Zhou Dongsheng looked shy and scratched his head. His eighteen-year-old face was very deceptive.
"Oh~ rich people really have too much money to burn, I told you!" "Maybe they made a bet after drinking. Only the boss can throw 10,000 yuan around for fun." "There are so many local bosses like this in Gu Town." Everyone's attention shifted elsewhere.
"Of course you can buy it. I'll make the order for you right away." The boss showed an understanding look and started operating the machine.
Zhou Dongsheng breathed a sigh of relief and thought that he couldn't buy it in Gu Town. He had to go somewhere nearby to avoid meeting acquaintances and having to explain himself. Fortunately, he didn't know anyone here.
The order was quickly completed and Zhou Dongsheng took out his bank card to pay. At this time, QR code payment has been available, but has not yet been fully promoted.
Zhou Dongsheng took the list and went out, ready to take a taxi to a nearby store to continue shopping. A man followed him out and stopped him.
"Hey brother, how about adding a contact number? If there are more orders like this, just contact me directly. The odds are higher than the regular ones, and I can give you a commission..."
Zhou Dongsheng looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man who looked a little nonchalant saying with a smile.
Zhou Dongsheng understood, but still looked shy. "Is there such a good thing? Then give me your contact information. If the boss asks me to buy it next time, I will contact you."
"Okay, this is my business card. As long as you place an order with me, I'll give you a 5% commission. That's 500 yuan out of 10,000 yuan!"
"Next time for sure!"
Zhou Dongsheng took the business card, Qiantu Information Consulting Co., Ltd., Manager Qian Huilai. Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but sigh, what a good name, it has a promising future.
Zhou Dongsheng stopped a car and asked the driver to take him to the sports lottery store in the next town.
Zhou Dongsheng, a local, knew this company. Most of the things involved in the company were illegal and criminal, such as illegal fundraising with promises of high interest rates, loan sharking, underground gambling, etc.
Generally, these are done by some local people with strong background and power, and they make money from this. It is a complete reflection of the reality of the saying "ways to make money are written in the criminal law".
Ironically, such companies are widely present in reality, using various names and using not-so-clever "Ponzi schemes", yet people are deceived one after another.
You are after their interest, but they only want to take your principal. Some people may disdain .
But in a few years, similar schemes will be called "P2P financial management". With the convenience of the Internet, many smart people will also make mistakes...
All because of greed.
Zhou Dongsheng has believed in one thing since he was a child: there is no free lunch in the world, and even if a pie falls from the sky, it will not be the turn of an unlucky guy like him.
It was because of this idea that Zhou Dongsheng was able to avoid countless sickles. But now, he is the only lucky man in the world.
The car arrived soon, Zhou Dongsheng got out and left his business card on the car.
Zhou Dongsheng cherishes this luck very much, so he will not do anything illegal or criminal. If he is greedy enough, he can use such a company to leverage and earn more capital through the World Cup.
No matter how high the interest rate is, it is just a drop in the bucket compared to the 150 times return and can be paid back the next day.
However, there are only zero and countless times to cross the red line. Sooner or later, you will pay a heavy price for your momentary fluke mentality. Is it worth it?
Everyone has only one life.
If Zhou Dongsheng had the chance to start over again, he would not gamble with this luck, which would not be in line with the prudent nature of his character.
There will be many opportunities to make money in the future. There is not just one World Cup, Zhou Dongsheng thought very clearly.
Although small people are small people, they also have their merits, don’t they?
Zhou Dongsheng ran back and forth between several sports lottery outlets, following the same pattern and obtaining betting slips from different bosses by using the names of fictitious bosses.
Finally, there were only a few thousand yuan left in the bank card, which he exchanged for a handful of betting slips. Zhou Dongsheng carefully put them away in a black bag and kept them with him.
Even when taking a taxi home, he would look left and right before arriving at the door, for fear that someone might jump out from nowhere and snatch his black bag, which was worth tens of millions of dollars.
However, if there really is such an unlucky thief who musters up the courage to open the black bag, he will probably be dumbfounded. What the hell is this?
It was not until Zhou Dongsheng returned home safely and put the black bag away that he felt a little relieved.
Next, everything is ready except for the east wind. It will be the World Cup semi-final between Germany and Brazil at four o'clock in the morning.
As long as there is no deviation from his own memory, he will get a large sum of money.
Even Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but feel excited when he thought of this. This was the first huge sum of money he had ever come into contact with in his two lifetimes!
