Chapter 468: The Gambler's Fallacy
Inside the private clinic in Monk Village.
Yang Dong received a call from Ma Jiyou, and after hearing that Chang Fengjiao rushed over with a lawyer, he licked his lips: "What did you say between you?"
"I didn't say anything, they asked me to sign it, I signed it, and then the lawyer asked me to issue my parents' authorization agreement, but I said I didn't have this thing, and they told me to hurry up, and everything was as you expected. Ma Jiyou paused: "Now that I have done everything you asked me to do, what else will I do next?"
"It's to close your shop, and from now on, you don't have to show up. Yang Dong responded clearly.
"Okay, I see. ”
"Buy another mobile phone and get a new phone number to contact me. ”
"Good!"
"Duh... Toot ......"
After that, the two ended the call directly.
......
Chang Shilei took Chang Fengjiao and the lawyer to Ma Jiyou's shop for a trip, the sister and brother sent the lawyer back to the law firm, and then drove to the hotel where Chang Fengjiao stayed, since Ma Jiming and Chang Fengjiao separated, if it weren't for the impact on his daughter's studies, I'm afraid the two would have gone through the divorce procedures, under this kind of marriage relationship that exists in name only, Chang Fengjiao also went to North J with a concubine to do second-hand car business, if it wasn't for the inheritance this time, she wouldn't have returned to the city at all.
"Squeak!"
Downstairs in the hotel, after Chang Fengjiao parked the car in the parking space, she pushed open the car door: "Xiao Lei, in the past few days, the store on my North J side has been very busy, I have to go back and keep an eye on it, tonight, I will go back directly, we will go upstairs in a while, I will also write you a power of attorney, you and the lawyer will help me do it." ”
"Okay, don't worry, sister, I'll definitely do this for you. Chang Shilei gritted his teeth and paused: "The power of attorney is not in a hurry, let's sign it in the afternoon, you give me the car keys first, and I will use your car." ”
"Be careful, don't scratch the car, I'll leave at night. Chang Fengjiao threw the key over casually, then stepped on high heels, and walked towards the hotel, since returning to the P Lan store, she never mentioned that she wanted to send Ma Jiming on her last journey, or to see the body or anything like that, her emotions were not affected by this incident at all, as if the dead person had nothing to do with her.
After Chang Shilei drove Chang Fengjiao's Volkswagen CC away, he rushed directly to the Changjin branch and walked into Zhang Yu's office: "Busy, buddy?"
"How is it, is it done?" Zhang Yu, who was watching a movie on the computer, casually pressed pause and looked up to ask.
"Don't worry, didn't I tell you, I have a certificate to deal with the people of the Lao Ma family. Chang Shilei grinned and took out the inheritance division agreement signed by Ma Jiyou in his pocket: "Take a look!"
Zhang Yu picked up the agreement, glanced at the contents of it, and after seeing that Ma Jiyou agreed to give the Jingshou Mountain plot to Chang Fengjiao, his eyes lit up: "Don't say it, you did this really well, when will the land of Jingshou Mountain be transferred to Changjin's name?"
"I have to wait, because although Ma Jiyou agreed to this matter, Ma Jiming's heirs are his parents, not him, so this agreement has to wait for Ma Jiyou's parents to sign a power of attorney with him, and then he can sign it again before this thing can take effect. Chang Shilei finished half of his words, saw Zhang Yu's gloomy face, and immediately explained: "But don't worry, the reason why Ma Jiyou doesn't have a power of attorney is because he doesn't understand the law, but since he can sign this thing with me, at least it shows that he is indeed ready to give up this land, and except for my sister, no one else is qualified to take it, right!"
After listening to Chang Shilei's explanation, Zhang Yu also felt that what he said made some sense, lit a cigarette, and urged: "You have to hurry up on this matter, we are in a hurry!"
"Don't worry, now the land has not been done except for the formalities, in fact, it is already Changjin, after all, Ma Jiyou is not in dispute, and my sister has also agreed to sell the land, what else can be wrong." Ma Jiyou sat on the sofa with a big grin, rubbed his hands and said, "That...... Mr. Zhang, look, now I have basically finished what you asked me to do, but you promised me ...... conditions"
"You can rest assured in this matter, as long as the land is transferred smoothly, and the money promised to you will not be less. ”
"Yes, I understand the reason, but recently, in order to do these things, I have advanced a lot of money myself, and I am indeed a little nervous at hand, do you think you can give me some advance payment or something first?" Chang Shilei licked his lips: "You can't just let the horses run, and don't give the horses some grass, right?"
When Zhang Yu heard this, he frowned slightly, and originally planned to scold Chang Shilei, but after his eyes swept to the inheritance division agreement on the table, in order to avoid extraneous branches, he still nodded: "I'll let the finance give you 500,000 yuan first, as long as you get things done, the rest of the money will be on your account." ”
"Don't worry, I'll do the next thing for you. Chang Shilei gritted his big yellow teeth and smiled: "Find a place at night, I'll let you relax your tired body and mind?"
"Pull it down, we're not all the way, we play different things, we can't mix together. Zhang Yu refused with a cold face.
"I know, I know, people at your level play high-end, but the thing you smoked, I really don't touch it now. Chang Shilei made a "six" gesture on his lips, got up with a smile, and waved his hand: "Since there is nothing to do, I will go to the finance to get the money, hehe!"
More than 20 minutes later, Chang Shilei carried a bank card with 500,000 cash in his pocket, walked out of the Changjin branch with a spring breeze on his face, and dialed a friend's phone: "What are you doing, buddy?, it's a big man, what are you cooking at home, you come out now, let's go out to eat...... Oh, I have nothing to ask you, I just want to pick up the trolley in the afternoon and let you help the staff officers...... The price is about four or five hundred thousand...... Don't you know how many years I've been in society? Do you think that a mere four or five hundred thousand is still called money to me?"
At the same time that Chang Shilei was bragging about making friends and going out for a drink, a man about his age also came to Ma Jiyou's shop.
"Jiyou, it stands to reason that your seafood store has a good business, do you really plan to give it to me?" the man asked with a smile as he reached out and rummaged through the goods on the shelves.
"Well, something happened at home, and I don't have the heart to do business. Ma Jiyou handed over a cigarette: "The two of us are real friends, I don't talk to you, you also know the bottom of my shop, when it was first set up, it cost more than 200,000 yuan, if you can take over today, 100,000 yuan, you can sign a contract on the spot." ”
"Then if you say that, I'll take advantage of you. The friend grinned: "Old Ma, I remember that you also rented a small warehouse in the market, and since you are no longer dry, you will transfer it to me?"
Ma Jiyou grinned: "That small warehouse, I will give it to you, but there are still some goods in it that have not been cleared in the past few days, wait a few days, you can directly smash the lock and change it." ”
"Oh, thank you. ”
"It's okay, sign it. ”
Ma Jiyou exchanged a few words with his friend, and the two signed the store transfer contract on the spot.
......
On the other side, within M, N city county.
Unconsciously, Qin Sheng had been in Yu Dongfeng's casino for four or five days, although he told all at the beginning that he would play a hand, no matter whether he won or lost, as long as he reached the line of 100,000 yuan, he would definitely get up and leave the table, but as soon as he sat here, he immediately seemed to be a different person.
Since Qin Sheng sat at the gambling table on the day of money laundering, he has hardly left this chair, and the sleep time for several consecutive days has been less than twenty hours together, and after nearly a hundred hours, Qin Sheng's eyes have been boiled red, his hair is greasy, and his eyes have become extremely dull, only at the moment of opening the cards, can he flash a touch of excitement, and then it will soon be dim again.
At this moment, the snakeskin pocket under Qin Sheng's feet, which was originally filled with nearly two million cash, was already empty, and was burned out of countless holes by cigarette butts.
"Hey, you still can't bet, if you don't play, get out of the way, I'll get on!" A gambler next to him saw that there was no cash on the table in front of Qin Sheng, and opened his mouth to urge.
"It's really interesting, I've been raising this position for four or five days, and I'm just about to return my wealth, maybe I'll give it to you!" Qin Sheng turned his head and choked, and then howled in his throat: "All of them!!"
"What's wrong?" all those who were carrying the teapot and pouring water from table to table in the gambling game heard the shout and walked to Qin Sheng's table.
"Tell your big brother Dongfeng and let him give me another 500,000 high profits, okay?" Qin Sheng turned his cheek sideways, and his eyes opened with a feverish look.
"Do you still borrow?" After hearing this, they all showed a very helpless expression on their faces: "Xiaosheng, listen to my advice, don't play!" My eldest brother said, you have lost a lot of money in the past few days, and the two of us are small, so the 200,000 usury you owe is not in the field, so you should not earn your water money. ”
When the gambler who was waiting to serve the table heard this, he stretched out his hand and pulled Qin Sheng's shoulder: "Didn't you hear it, the bureau won't give you the bottom of the frame, what are you still doing here, numb, get out of the way!"
Qin Sheng was scolded by the gambler, and immediately felt that his face was hot, and he looked at all the people with some irritation: "What do you mean? This money, you are afraid that I will not be able to pay it!"
"Qin Sheng, what are you talking about, am I that kind of person!" All of them choked a little unhappily, and continued to speak: "You also know that you are not a local at all, and you have no industry in the local area, so if you want to carry the money of the seal, someone must guarantee it, if I can't believe you, I won't help you with the previous 200,000 yuan, and the problem now is not that I don't care about you, but at my eldest brother's, even I am not worth 500,000, do you understand? Xiaosheng, listen to my advice, I have lost a lot in the past few days, come down, okay?"
"Gee, what the I'm talking about, I've got a little bit of an idea here. Qin Sheng is an old gambler, in the eyes of gamblers like them, the wins and losses in this world are mutual, and although he has entered a trough, he is constantly brainwashing himself, as long as he can persevere, he will definitely be able to become the ultimate winner: "Everyone, you believe me, I already have a hunch, next, as long as I hold on a few more, I will definitely win, you also see, haven't I won millions before!" I'm begging you, you can help me carry another sum of money, this time I'm not greedy, as long as I get back the two million I lost before, I'll be out immediately, okay? Don't worry! I have a bottom line!"
"Fuck, I'm really convinced of you! How can I persuade you these days, you just don't fucking listen!" When they all heard this, they were extremely aggrieved in their hearts, because when Qin Sheng first lost 100,000 yuan, he persuaded him on the side for several hours, but after Qin Sheng sat down at the gambling table, he seemed to be a different person, he didn't listen to persuasion at all, he hummed and coped with it, and his ass was like sticking to the chair.
But anyway, Qin Sheng came to this gambling game, and he also brought it, seeing that he lost so much money, he didn't feel good in his heart, so he gritted his teeth and took out a bank card directly in his pocket: "If you want to borrow money from the bureau, it must be no fun, I have been outside in the past few years, I have spent a lot of money, and I haven't saved much money, there are more than 160,000 in this card, which is all my family money......"
"Thank you, buddy!" Qin Sheng dragged all the bank cards, and without waiting for him to finish speaking, he didn't even ask for the password, he slapped it directly on the table: "Tianmen! Bet 50,000 yuan! If you lose, you will withdraw cash immediately!"
At this moment, Qin Sheng's eyes were full of confidence again.
Almost all gamblers believe that when they are at the table, they always believe that their desired goal will come.
Just like when betting on the size of the dice, the probability of each game being big or small is fifty percent, but the gambler will think that if he bets big, but if the small appears several times in a row, then the proportion of the next round of the big chance will increase, if this time is not, then the next time will be more certain, this is a typical non-mathematical principle, in fact, regardless of the size, each chance of appearing is always fifty percent.
This phenomenon, known in the academic community as the gambler's fallacy, also known as the Monte Carlo fallacy, is actually a false belief, but all gamblers, no matter how smart people are, are convinced of this theory, because in their eyes, gambling is not only probability, but also contains such illusory things as feng shui and luck.
They are even more unwavering in their belief that among the countless gamblers at a table, they must be the one who is most favored by the god of fate.
And Qin Sheng, as a person who went farther and farther on the road of no return because of gambling, had naturally fallen deeply into this fallacy.
On the table.
Qin Sheng took a bank card with all his savings, continued to shout, and began to bet without returning.
Completely, in spite of everything.
