After receiving Lu Tao's assurance, Jacky Li drank the white wine in his glass, then got up and went to the tent next door.
When there were only two people left in the tent, Guan Lei finally asked what he had been holding in his heart: "Brother Tao, what did you mean by what you just said? Are you really going to cooperate with Jacky Li?"
Lu Tao nodded: "Why, do you think this person is unreliable?"
"I have known Lao Li for a while. Although he looks smooth, he is still quite honest. In the final analysis, he is just a farmer and will not take the risk of offending me, so this matter should be fine."
Guan Lei was not worried about Lu Tao's guess, but said with some worry: "Fifty million is not a small amount. Now we have fully calculated it. There are only three and a half days left before the bet that Jacky Li mentioned can be completed. Let's There is not a single house or a single ridge of land in Shencheng. How can we raise so much money in such a short period of time?"
Lu Tao did not answer the question directly, but took off his shoes and socks.
Guan Lei was stunned when he saw Lu Tao's red, swollen and cracked soles.
"I got up early in the morning and did three rounds of hard work at night. My feet got frostbite, but they are better now! The soles of my feet had pus a few days ago. When I got home in the evening, my socks were already frozen on my feet. When I tried to take them off, it was as painful as peeling off the skin."
Lu Tao heated his rough hands on the bonfire: "I've had enough of this kind of life, so I need to change my lifestyle, and Jacky Lee's proposal really tempted me! If you want to make quick money, there's nothing worse than taking advantage of the sidelines. It’s suitable! Since the opportunity has come to your door, you should seize it. I will take care of the money. You don’t have to worry about it. Just be prepared to open the casino!"
"Brother Tao, don't find it unpleasant if I say something!"
Guan Lei licked his lips: "You have only been released from prison for less than a month. You can only support yourself by riding a three-wheeler. Where can you get so much money in such a short period of time?"
"I ride three wheels not because I don't have the ability to make money, but because I want to use this method to tell others that I have changed! But today I understand a truth. I can only move myself through hardship and hardship, but cannot change other people's views on me. My opinion! At least at the lowest level, it can’t be done, it will only make people look down upon. In other words, other people’s opinions are no longer that important to me.”
Lu Tao thought of Lu Jiang's attitude towards him and drank all the liquor in his glass: "It's settled now. I'll find the money, and you'll study the location and preparation of the casino. When the money is in place, I'll share the dividends with you and me." three."
Guan Lei was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "Brother Tao, are you kidding me? I have already said that as long as you are willing, I will give you everything and I will mess with you from now on! You also know , I don’t have any business acumen! What’s more, I don’t have the money to do this business myself. If you really have money to invest, you should take the majority. How can I make the hero bleed and cry? "
Lu Tao responded seriously: "Jacky Li came to you to cooperate because of you. In today's society, interpersonal relationships themselves are more valuable than money! I can participate and I have already taken advantage!"
"Oh, why are you so separate from me? After my brother is gone, to me, you are the dearest person in the world! If you insist on telling me so clearly, I will be really chilled. !”
Guan Lei was quite speechless about Lu Tao's attitude and had no intention of continuing the conversation: "In this way, let's make preparations first. If this thing can really come true, then we can talk about other things. It's settled...Brother, I toast you this cup." !”
…
The next day.
Lu Tao's landlord, Sister Ma, went out early, wrapped the aluminum lunch box in her arms, and prepared to go to the hospital to deliver meals to his wife and son. As soon as he went out, he found Lu Tao waiting outside the door and said hello with a smile: " Xiao Lu, have you just collected your car and come back?"
"Sister Ma, I'm waiting for you!"
Lu Tao took out five hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it over: "From today on, I will not rent this house. You keep the money and use the extra money to buy nutritional supplements for your children."
"Oh, how can this be done! Sister Qian can't have this!"
Sister Ma quickly shied away: "It's not easy for you to ride a tricycle on a regular basis! Your favorite sister has accepted it, but you should take the money back and buy yourself a better down jacket!"
"Sister, take it!"
Lu Tao forced the money into Sister Ma's hands: "When I rented a house, I knocked on the door from door to door in this alley. Only you agreed to let me pay the rent twice a month. I will always remember this feeling. You're here! It's too cold outside, I won't waste your time and go in to pack your things first!"
After saying this, Lu Tao walked towards his rental house.
Sister Ma looked at the five hundred yuan in her hand, and then thought about the scene where she was rejected by her relatives when she borrowed money last night. All her emotions turned into a sigh, and she pushed her bicycle and disappeared at the end of the alley.
After Lu Tao returned to the rental house, he took out a leather bag under the bed.
This leather bag was made by himself in the garment workshop of his prison. He took it out when he was released from prison as a souvenir. It contained some of his sundries.
Lu Tao rummaged through his bag for a long time and found a piece of aluminum foil paper inside the cigarette box. He recognized the vague handwriting on it and dialed a mobile phone number.
After a few seconds, the call was connected, but the other party said nothing.
Lu Tao greeted politely: "Hello, I want to find the God of Wealth. Is he here?"
A deep male voice came from the receiver: "I am, who are you?"
Lu Tao introduced himself: "My name is Lu Tao, I am Li Nan's cellmate, he..."
The God of Wealth interrupted him coldly: "Tell me something."
Lu Tao took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and held it in his mouth: "Li Nan told me that if I am short of money after I come out, I can call you. He said that you have a way to make quick money. I want to find it with you." A job.”
The God of Wealth's tone remained unchanged: "I know, I will think of you when I am alive."
Lu Tao heard the perfunctory tone in the other party's tone, and added seriously: "Brother, God of Wealth, Li Nan said that as long as I mention his name to you, you will definitely take me! You are very busy in this industry during the Chinese New Year, and you should not have a lot of money on your hands. Are you short of work? I’m really in urgent need of money, so I can use less money!”
"Fuck, I'm not his father, so I still have to help him coax the child?"
The God of Wealth cursed silently, pondered for a moment and then asked, "Can you drive?"
"meeting!"
"Ever played with knives?"
"Played with it."
"Where's the gun?"
"I know how to use a shotgun, but I haven't hurt anyone."
"Where is the person?"
"Shencheng, Soviet Area."
"Buy a train ticket with the closest time and arrive at Fuxin Railway Station on time at six o'clock in the evening. We will not wait if you are late."
Seeing that he didn't want to use his God of Wealth just now, Lu Tao changed his mind so quickly and felt a little uncomfortable: "Today?"
The God of Wealth was a little impatient: "Didn't you say you need money urgently?"
Lu Tao was obviously not used to the rhythm of the God of Wealth: "I have a few friends here, can I take them with me?"
"I'm only missing one person."
"After I go, how long will it take to see the money?"
"You'd better tell me whether it's necessary or not. Just call me when you get there."
"Du...du..."
The God of Wealth hung up the phone before Lu Tao could answer.
Lu Tao listened to the busy tone on the phone and remembered what his inmate Li Nan had said to him. He looked confused: "Isn't this guy a professional accountant? Why does he look like he's selling drugs?"
Although he felt that this matter was a bit unfounded, Lu Tao, who was anxious for money, quickly packed his bags and rushed to Xinchengzi Railway Station.
