Go back to the hotel to watch the TV broadcast.

Mark Liang went to Chen Wen's room and watched TV together.

Mack Liang said he also bought a 10-franc bet and Mansell won the title.

The match started as scheduled.

Yesterday's qualifying, with Mansell and Senna finishing in the top two, occupied the top two on the grid today.

Teenager Schumacher finished third in qualifying and was right behind Mansell on the grid today.

More than 20 drivers battled for two hours, and in the end, as Chen Wen "expected", the teenager Schumacher won the first F1 race of his career.

And Schumacher's lead was quite large, even 36 seconds faster than second-place Mansell.

Chen Wen did a credit card consumption test yesterday, and the 10 US dollar Senna he bought won, and the ticket stub was invalid. Senna finished fifth today.

Mansell, who bought 10 francs from Mark Liang, won the championship and also lost the championship.

Chen Wen quietly went out last night, went to another spinach counter, and bought Schumacher for 48,990 US dollars, and he will get back 1,812,630 US dollars!

As for the tax deduction or something, he is not sure how much to deduct now, and he will only know when he goes to the spinach company tomorrow morning to claim the prize.

After dinner, Chen Wen led Mark Liang to the hotel's casino.

He took out 300 francs and gave 100 to Macleon, and the two tried several slot machines. Soon, both of them lost all their chips. Chen Wen didn't dare to go to those gambling tables at all.

Chen Wen confirmed one thing, he is not suitable for playing slot machines, he has no talent, and he has no sweetness.

Mark Liang was worried about the peak of international students starting on September 2, and asked Chen Wen: "When will we go back to Paris?"

Chen Wen said: "Tomorrow morning, I will go out by myself, you can sleep lazily, drive with enough energy, and we will set off at noon tomorrow." ”

......

Monday, August 31.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Chen Wen got up to wash up and had breakfast at the hotel restaurant.

Chen Wen took the card given to him by the spinach counter and asked the waiter in the restaurant how to get around this place and what means of transportation it was more convenient to take.

The waiter's attitude is to ignore it.

Chen Wen understood, and immediately took out 5 francs in cash and stuffed it as a tip to the waiter.

The waiter's attitude immediately became very humble, and he told Chen Wen that the headquarters of the spinach company was not far from here, and he turned right after leaving the hotel gate, and then turned right at the second intersection, the total distance was about one kilometer.

Chen Wen carried a bucket bag on his back, was too lazy to take a taxi, and walked to the spinach company.

More than half an hour later, Chen Wen arrived at his destination.

He had thought Belgium's largest spinach company was supposed to be a palatial office building, only to find out that he had misguessed things again.

Office buildings are right, but not rich

It's just a very ordinary 7-storey building.

The spinach company doesn't own the building, but occupies half of one of the floors.

Upstairs and walked to the door of the spinach company, Chen Wen informed the front desk lady of his intention.

The front desk lady asked Chen Wen to wait for a while, and soon after, a male manager in his 40s greeted him and warmly shook hands with Chen Wen.

The male manager claimed to be named Lukaku.

Lukaku smiled and asked, "May I ask this gentleman from the East, does your prize amount exceed 10,000 US dollars?"

Chen Wen nodded, took out the handbag from the bucket bag, and then took out the spinach ticket stub from the handbag, pinched the corner of the ticket stub, and displayed it in front of Lukaku.

Lukaku is very tall, at least 1.9 meters, Chen Wen is 1.78 meters tall, he is tall in China, but when he comes to Europe, where there are many people, Chen Wen's size is not advantageous.

Lukaku, who was more than half a head taller than Chen Wen, bent his knees, lowered his body, and carefully looked at the ticket stub in the hand of the Oriental.

"Oh, Jesus!" Lukaku's eyes widened, his eyes jumping, "this gentleman, your luck is so good!

"So, Mr. Lukaku, can I claim my prize?" Chen Wen smiled.

"Of course!" Lukaku made a gesture of please, "Please come with me!"

Lukaku led Chen Wen to the prize redemption office.

The prize claim process went smoothly and there was a big surprise.

Lukaku works for Belgium's largest spinach company, which is based at its headquarters. With such a big spinach company, not to mention every year, the turnover every week is astronomical, and Chen Wen's small amount of money is not a thing.

Chen Wen bet 48,990 US dollars to buy Schumacher to win the championship, the odds are 37 to 1, according to this bet, Chen Wen can get back 1,812,630 US dollars, which is the total amount with interest.

What made Chen Wen feel a big surprise was that it was actually tax-free!

He had always thought that he would need to pay 20% income tax, but he didn't need to pay it!

Chen Wen asked curiously: "I used to see on the news that some of their Yankee lottery tickets won the jackpot, and the winners had to pay 20% income tax. You Belgium are so good that you don't want people like me to pay taxes?"

Lukaku said proudly: "They Yankees want to make money from the people in everything, and their people in power have fallen into the eyes of money." We Belgians are a hospitable people, we welcome people from all countries to visit our Belgium, and in our Belgium, all spinach is not taxed on players. Paying taxes, that's just a matter for us operators. ”

Chen Wen immediately had a good impression of Belgium, and thought that he had to buy a car and could drive to Belgium often!

Chen Wen asked a useful question: "Mr. Lukaku, please ask the European scope, except for you Billy

What other country is so hospitable when it comes to spinach?"

Lukaku said: "In our Europe, many countries are not allowed to play spinach, only some countries allow it. In countries where spinach is legal, the Oriental gentleman asks you to remember that if you win the jackpot in Spain, Portugal and Switzerland, then you will have to pay between 10% and 20% income tax. In the UK and Germany, spinach is tax-free in some cases, while others are tax-payable. At us in Belgium, you are tax-free to receive your prize. Elsewhere, as far as I know, Romania and Italy are also tax-exempt. ”

Chen Wen smiled and nodded, remembering the important information given by Lukaku - Italian spinach is tax-free to receive the prize!

In September and November, there were two Serie A highlights, and Chen Wen memorized the score. He thought to himself that he couldn't miss these two sums of money, and he could go to Italy to play in person.

Lukaku asked Chen Wen: "Oriental gentleman, do you want a check or cash?"

Chen Wen asked rhetorically: "I will go to France today, do you think I should be advised to bring cash or checks?"

Lukaku smiled: "I suggest you bring a check for 1.81 million and 2,630 US dollars in cash. In the event of a Belgian or French police raid at the border, large sums of cash can be in great trouble. ”

Chen Wen nodded in agreement.

Lukaku instructed the staff and, at the request of the Oriental gentleman, provided cheques and cash.

Chen Wen stuffed a check of 1.81 million yuan and a cash of 2,630 US dollars into his handbag, and his heart was particularly beautiful.

Lukaku took out a personal business card and handed it to Chen Wen with both hands: "I am an executive of this spinach company and a shareholder of a large entertainment hotel in Brussels, and I sincerely express my wish to be a personal friend with you." If you come back to Belgium next time, you can call me and I will arrange a free luxury hotel room for you. ”

Chen Wen certainly knew Lukaku's intentions, to receive high-rollers like him in free hotels, and then profit from his spending in casinos.

Lukaku's mentality belongs to the practice of practitioners in this industry, and Chen Wen will not be disgusted, he now has 1.81 million US dollars and does not mind spending a little money.

"I will definitely come back to Brussels and I will definitely call Mr. Lukaku. ”

Lukaku rubbed his hands together and said, "I would like to ask, Oriental gentleman, your name, and what country you come from?" I do not mean to offend you, but I want to add a description of you to my notepad, so that I can always remember you as a distinguished guest." ”

Chen Wen pondered for a while, but he still couldn't reveal his identity as a Chinese, in case it was rumored in the future that it was a Chinese who bought Schumacher's spinach and won 1.8 million US dollars, and it was easy to label his compatriots.

Chen Wen smiled slightly: "I am from Hong Kong Island, and my name is Vincent. ”

In 1992, Hong Kong Island had not yet been returned, and in the minds of Europeans, Hong Kong Island was still a British territory, and Hong Kong people did something to make a fortune in Europe, so as not to seem too legendary.

Chen Wen's mentality is very simple, he makes a fortune in a low-key manner, and counts money in a muffled voice.
