San Francisco, Chinatown, has an unusual buzz tonight.

Zhuo Ming ran into Duban Street with his schoolbag on his back, stopped in front of a grocery store, and stretched out his head in fear.

Inside the shop, his grandfather and his family sat together, and in front of him stood a bald guy with a colorful hairtail tattoo.

This person should be Huatang's thug, he is very capable of fighting like that, Zhuo Ming has been a nerd since he was a child, and he will subconsciously want to run away when he sees this kind of person.

The bald guy was holding a newspaper and talking at the mouth, borrowing money or something.

Zhuo Ming subconsciously thought of something bad, this month's monthly case should have been handed over......

"Ming Tsai, come in!" his grandfather saw him and beckoned.

Zhuo Ming stepped over the threshold with some cringe.

The bald guy turned around, his face twitched, and his big hand pressed directly on Zhuo Ming's head: "This is called Ming Zai?"

Father Zhuo hurriedly nodded: "Ming Zai, call Brother Xiang, no.. Call Uncle Xiang!"

The bald guy laughed: "It's called Brother Xiang, all over the world are brothers! What does Ah Ming want to do when he grows up?"

"Doctor. ”

"Okay, be a good doctor, and in the future, the brothers will come to you for treatment when they are injured!"

The crowd was speechless.

The bald guy turned his head: "Uncle Zhuo, this is not something I have to do, the boss in the hall has confessed, the Buddha is fighting for the pillar and the incense people are fighting for breath, and now this TV is saying that it is impossible for us Chinese to calculate the earthquake, how much is the gambling market outside?

The steamed buns in the big cage can't leak, and the pain in front of Guan Er Ye can't scream, if you are short of money, we can also lend you some, and a hundred dollars will see what you will become!

"Ah Xiang, of course, we also support us Chinese, but there is no need to bet on this!" Zhuo Ming's grandfather sighed and spoke, "My ancestors have a family motto, and future generations are not allowed to participate in gambling, it's not a matter of money or money......

Several people in the Zhuo family changed their eyes a few times, it's not that they can't take out this little money, one is usually thrifty, and the other is that Hua Tangping lent you money to gamble, and he also won to give you money.

But what if you lose?

Isn't the money borrowed from this flat suddenly turned into Indian money?

Huatang said that the business is also varied, and it is okay to collect protection money at ordinary times, and take the whole family to gamble, no matter what the name is!

"Uncle Zhuo, you are embarrassing me for being fat, this Chinatown 15th Street, the brothers each have a piece, if they are all like you, how can I explain to the boss when I turn around?!"

"Brother Xiang......" Zhuo Ming said weakly.

"Huh?" the bald head looked at Zhuo Ming.

"Isn't it about the earthquake in Mexico?"

"That's right!" the bald head clapped his hands, "We still sent someone from Los Angeles Huatang to inform you of this." ”

"When I got out of class today, my classmates asked me about it. ”

"Oh?"

"They also said it couldn't be," Zhuo Ming scratched his head, "I don't know how to answer, is it true?"

"It's not true, I'll find out tomorrow morning. But this is ...... outside tonight Amin, are you making the next bet?"

"Amin!!" Zhuo Zu frowned and snorted.

The bald guy turned his head and nodded to Zhuo Zu: "Uncle Zhuo, you are a little inappropriate." ”

"Ah Xiang, why do you embarrass us, and what kind of gambling does a child participate in, he is a ...... of studying" Zhuo Zu sighed, "In this case, is it good to change your name?"

"In what name?"

"My family donated fifty yuan, not to mention gambling. Zhuo Zu took out a few banknotes from his body, "Even if we have ten yuan for each person and I have twenty, it is not a violation of the ancestral teachings." ”

The bald guy shook his head and took the money: "Whether it counts or not, I have to count it for you." It's a shame!"

After speaking, he turned around and went out, and after a while, he turned to the door of the other house.

Zhuo Ming looked at the elders in a daze.

"Eat! There's food for you. Zhuo's father screamed, drove his son into the back hall, and helped his father close the store.

Zhuo Ming sat on the edge of the dining table, eating cold dishes while chopping rice, watching TV, and after a while, his parents walked in.

There was a news discussion on the TV, and it was about the Chinese predicting the earthquake.

"Old Bean, Huatang, why did they do this?"

"I don't know. ”

"What does it have to do with gambling?"

"Ask less about that!"

"Wait a minute, look at those people, they're really moving!" Zhuo Mu pointed to the TV.

At this point, the picture has been changed to Mexico City, the black and white TV set is not large, the screen looks like evening, and the whole city is full of people, carrying things out of the building, and then piling up in the middle of the road.

There was a lot of noise, groups of soldiers stood guard in the streets, and NBC reporters were interviewing, in Spanish.

"I don't believe it, but the president said that if you don't believe it, you can not move, but it's better to get out of the house before seven o'clock tomorrow!"

"Don't think about going to bed tonight!"

"What the Chinese measured, why didn't you Americans measure it?"

The screen pans back to the studio.

The moderator sat down at a table with a few well-dressed people to discuss the reliability of supercomputers in predicting earthquakes.

"The technology of the day cannot support this prediction. Not to mention the Chinese, they say that their machines are still broken and they waste $100 million, but in fact, the loss of such a relocation in a city is far more than $100 million. ”

"This kind of prediction is no less than starting a war, China is in the socialist camp, I have a bad idea, and they don't admit that they made a prediction at all, but use a tabloid in Xiangjiang, and let the Chinese in Mexico to propagate ......"

"We all know that the Chinese are a bit mystic, they don't like to communicate with people, they like to play some puzzling tricks......"

"Anyway, if the earthquake doesn't happen on time, they're in big trouble!"

"We also got the news that in Xiangjiang, they also launched a vote of confidence in the weekly magazine called "People and Society", and I heard that a vote will cost 10,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy!"

"Hah, that's ridiculous,... Does anyone buy it?"

"A lot, because after the results come out, the right one can get a bonus, buy one, and get 10,000 if you are right, if this is a gamble, it is one to two. ”

"I want to buy it. ”

"That's not necessary, as far as I know, a lot of casinos are opening this market. The odds are even higher......"

"What's higher?"

"It's about believing that it will happen, and one pays one hundred. ”

"But what if I don't believe it?"

"If you don't believe it, one out of 100. ”

"Huh?!"

"In other words, if you don't believe it, you can go to Xiangjiang and buy it!"

"Xiangjiang?"

Zhuo Zu also walked in, stared at the TV for a while, sighed and said, "It's really messy!"

"But what if there is no earthquake?" asked Zhuo Ming.

All three adults shook their heads.

If it doesn't happen, it will be too much trouble!

…...

Tokyo, Exchange.

"These insurance stocks have fallen by more than a percent. ”

"In the morning, there were still funds rushing in to protect the disk, but they couldn't protect it at all, and now all of them are turning over and starting to smash down!"
