Lottery shop.
"You mean the front area number and the back area number are different, so we have to buy them separately?"
Chen Xingtian turned on his mobile phone to search for information about the lottery. The Super Lotto has a total of seven numbered balls, five of which are in the front area and two in the back area.
The numbers in the front area range from 01 to 35, while the numbers in the back area range from 01 to 12. The fifth and sixth numbers predicted by Ding Ruomeng are missing, and they are just stuck between the front and rear areas.
"No, if you want to buy all the balls with the fifth and sixth numbers, you need to buy 35 times 12, a total of 420 lottery tickets." The clerk explained.
"What are the rules for raising?"
He pointed to someone who bought a lottery ticket with added bets.
"Adding is a unique rule of the Lotto lottery. The price of each lottery ticket is 2 yuan. You can understand it this way. Suppose you win the first prize of 10 million yuan without raising a ticket. Then if you raise a ticket and buy 3 yuan, , when you win the lottery, it can be increased to 15 million yuan in the same proportion."
"Then how much is the maximum amount that can be added?"
"The maximum additional amount shall not exceed 30,000 yuan."
…
Chen Xingtian pondered, now that the last prize pool of Lotto has just been collected, the winning amount of the first prize is only 1 million.
And he had to buy all 420 lottery tickets. He currently has less than 12,000 yuan in cash. The main reason is that he was too busy last week and had no time to type. He didn't make much money. Also, he was wary of the other party changing his mind and rolling the lottery ticket. If the money ran away, it would be too late for him to cry.
Facts have proved that even if he trusts Old Ghost Li, the world is dangerous after all. He has decided to quit. If he does this too much, he will really be caught.
Then you can place your bet. Taking into account the uncertainty of the prediction, he is also responsible for Xiaomeng's medical expenses. He cannot understand some physiological self-healing processes and can only rely on drug-assisted treatment, so he has to keep it. At least 6,000 yuan.
Then the choice is obvious, 420 bets, each bet is purchased for 12 yuan, and the total price is 5,040 yuan. According to the original principal of 2 yuan per bet, if you buy 12 yuan, the winning amount can be doubled by 6 times, which is 6 million yuan. This is A very substantial income.
Chen Xingtian continued: "When is the next lottery draw?"
"The lottery will be drawn at 21:10 tonight."
"Okay, I bought all the 420 bets and increased them all to 12 yuan."
The clerk was not surprised. There were so many people who wanted to come to the lottery shop and become rich overnight. There were all kinds of weird people.
For example, if you catch a number and raise bets like crazy, you won’t lose all your money in the end.
There are also people like Chen Xingtian who bought in a certain range. The base amount is huge, but the bet amount is not high, and the winnings are only a few million at most, but this is enough to drive ordinary families crazy.
"Let's go, Xiao Meng, come and receive the award tonight."
Chen Xingtian took a casual look at the trend of the prize pool, and left with Kong Kong and Ding Ruomeng. He didn't want to understand the twists and turns inside, and he was still too far away from managing money now.
He could even imagine how many financial institutions would make harassing calls to him after receiving the bonus.
The clerk sneered at his words. Another kid who hoped to get lucky would definitely be beaten to death by his parents when he returned home.
…
Evening, home.
Chen Xingtian and Ding Ruomeng stared at the lottery numbers on the TV.
"The first one is 07, the second one is 34, the third one is 21, the fourth one..." Ding Ruomeng muttered: "The fifth one is 27, phew."
Chen Xingtian also breathed a sigh of relief. The first four numbers were all correct. There was no problem if he bought the fifth and sixth numbers. The most important thing was the last number.
"The sixth one is 12, and the seventh one is..."
His heart was in his throat, the last one.
"The seventh one is 09."
Ding Ruomeng read out the last number.
Suddenly, Chen Xingtian felt relieved. This thing was more exciting than performing on stage. He knew that he had a high probability of winning, but he still couldn't help but feel flustered.
He turned to look at the dumbfounded Ding Ruomeng: "Xiaomeng, will we have money in the future?"
"Ah?" Ding Ruomeng tilted his head.
Chen Xingtian was amused by her appearance: "I said, we will be rich in the future, and good times are coming!"
"It seems...yes." She finally came to her senses. It seemed that since she followed Chen Xingtian, everything was getting better. Her illness had hope because of him, and she now had sufficient funds. She was already fantasizing about the future. of a better life.
"Brother~" Ding Ruomeng rushed towards him.
"Bo!"
"What are you doing?" Chen Xingtian was filled with shame and anger. He seemed to have been raped by someone.
"From now on, we can do what we want to do, and we don't have to worry about what others think." She leaned into Chen Xingtian's arms and whispered.
"You have no hair."
"Brother, why don't you open and pick up which pot?"
"You have no hair."
"If you keep saying that, I'll ignore you."
"You have no hair."
"Huh, bad guy." Ding Ruomeng quickly got up and ran to the bedroom.
Chen Xingtian breathed a sigh of relief, finally sending this annoying little goblin away, and he could go and receive the award tomorrow.
Kong Kong looked at him disdainfully on the sofa, as if to say, I'm afraid he's not a fool.
Chen Xingtian gave it a middle finger and then went back: "Turn off the TV later."
Winning the lottery did not keep him awake, but daily exercise was indispensable. He continued to dream and tinker with his own things.
…
The next day, Chen Xingtian made a special trip to the lottery shop to announce the good news.
"Thank you, brother. If I hadn't bought the lottery ticket from your store, I might have missed it."
On the surface, the clerk congratulated him, but in fact, he already wanted to destroy the store.
"Congratulations." The clerk gritted his teeth.
"You're welcome."
…
After redeeming the prize money at the lottery center, reporters in Qiuling City began to take notice. There were large-scale lottery winners in this city, and it was certainly worth reporting.
Chen Xingtian put on the hat and mask he had prepared in advance, and did not bring Xiaomeng or Kongkong with him. As soon as he received the invoice from the staff, the reporters thrust the microphone into his face.
"Hello, sir, I am our reporter Hua Zhenduo. Are you the winner of this lottery?"
"Hua Zhenduo?"
"Yes sir, I would like to interview you."
"You talk a lot."
"..."
Chen Xingtian stopped quarreling with reporters and quickly went to the tax bureau to pay taxes. After paying taxes of 6 million, he paid 1.2 million, leaving 4.8 million on hand, which can be regarded as a contribution to charity.
It's not that he is a minor, so his parents must collect the bonus. Now that he is 16 years old, he can apply for a bank card, so the money will naturally be transferred to his account.
He was considering whether to tell his parents about winning the lottery. If he told them, the money might be sealed by them and could not be used until after he turned 18, and the purchase of some things would be restricted.
He felt a little guilty about not telling her. After all, it was his parents who had raised him for many years. This seemed unkind.
In the end, he decided not to tell them the news. The only ones who knew about it were Xiaomeng, Kongkong and himself. He needed to do some things first, and then it would not be too late to tell them.
After returning home, Ding Ruomeng rushed to him: "Did you get it?"
"got it."
"Very good."
"Woof!"
"But now I have to do something, so I won't tell them about it for the time being."
"Listen to you."
…
Chen Xingtian dialed a number.
"Hey, Old Ghost Li, I'm going to quit this job. I'm not short of money now."
The other end of the phone was anxious: "Chen Xingtian, what will I do if you quit? I paid the deposit. If you run away, you won't get the money back."
Chen Xingtian sneered: "Do you really think they will pay you back? Every time I finished coding, they gave me money later and later, and they were already ready to run away.
And we can’t call the police because if they are caught, we will also be implicated.
But don't worry, it's only 2,000 yuan. I'll help you advance the money. These guys have no value anymore. "
Only then did Old Ghost Li beam with joy: "That's more or less the same. If you make money, I'll get a share of it too. Come back to me if you need anything in the future."
"good."
Chen Xingtian hung up the phone. In this industry, gangsters have always been gangsters. Old ghost Li can thrive here, but he can't.
Some things are stuck too deep, but they can't come out. He will never contact Old Ghost Li again. Although they are classmates, they take different paths.
The next step is to purchase instrument parts on a large scale, as well as some processing equipment, such as cutting machines, welding guns, hydraulic presses, etc.
With these things, the purchase cost can be completely reduced, and instruments such as microscopes can be made by oneself.
The plan to train stress has also been put on the agenda. In previous magic performances, the compression force of stress was only used initially, such as hiding the magic hat through compression.
Only when the software and hardware are complete will he become a true construction master.
Chen Xingtian suddenly felt that he had many things to do, and Chen Xingtian sighed, but these were all necessary for him to grow up.
Only a mediocre person can't find anything to do. It's obvious that he is not a mediocre person.
