Chapter 22: Ten Thousand Dollars

It's not a timid character, Han Chudong didn't take those gangsters seriously.

In the past, he himself was determined to be a big gangster, but now his thoughts have long been different, and now he just wants to be a rich man who can make a lot of money, preferably the kind that has both wealth and fame.

On the American side.

In the seventies, there was already a successful example of Wang An's computer company, which successfully ranked among the top 20 on the rich list.

This made Han Chudong feel that as long as it went well, most of his Chinese-Americans would have a chance not to be suppressed, provided that he found a good ally.

If only it had been twenty or thirty years earlier.

It is possible for the Chinese to become a relatively good little rich person in the United States, but they want to go one step further...... Then you have to ask the major consortia whether they agree.

You may be hit by a bullet for no apparent reason, and then your property will be divided up in a mess.

The upward channel is blocked, anyway, it's just the Chinese that no one pays attention to.

The situation in this era is slightly better, so Han Chudong wants to complete the accumulation of wealth as soon as possible and catch the fast track of the development of the information age in the near future.

There is no money in your pocket, all ideas are empty talk, and even if the opportunity is in front of you, you have to have money to invest.

Keep drinking and dancing.

The backstage of the Moonlight Rabbit Song and Dance Hall is relatively hard, and he is not worried about being attacked inside, and Zhou Nan, the watermelon head, went out to take a look, saying that he didn't see the little yellow-haired person, so he was also relieved.

Han Chudong eats dried peanuts, drinks a few sips of wine from time to time, and dances or something without humiliating himself.

Nobody plays with their phones, some just chat, drink and dance, which he thinks is okay in the days when people prefer to talk in the days when there are no electronic devices......

I didn't plan to take the initiative to talk to anyone, so I made an appointment to leave together after more than two hours and left through the gate.

Let the little guy named Louie go to the road first, make sure that there is no one guarding nearby, and walk very safely, think about it, it's been almost three hours, how stupid you have to be to wait outside all the time.

Han Chudong took a taxi home.

After arriving home, his son Han saw that his son was drunk, and he was still wearing a formal suit that seemed nondescript to him, and his trousers were short, and he immediately glared and said: "Whose clothes, how old are you to learn to drink?!"

"I went out to socialize, I was preparing for the next charity fundraiser, and the new clothes donated by people didn't cost anything. ”

Lies come as soon as they open their mouths, full of desire to survive.

Han Chudong was a little drunk, but he wasn't too drunk, and after drinking some water, he sat on the sofa and didn't forget his business:

"Dad, people have prepared a number of places to travel to San Francisco this time, and I helped you fight for it, as if the New York Yankees are going to play over there, you and my mother will not go, and if they don't go, I will give it to someone else. ”

It's true that you want to send him to San Francisco, but the Yankees game is completely fake news.

As soon as Father Han heard the name of this team, he immediately forgot to accuse him of drinking, and instead said: "It's hard to raise some money and use it for tourism, these charities are really ...... When are you leaving?"

"Saturday morning, Sunday night back, don't delay you and my mother to work, take my grandparents with me, I have been inconvenient recently, otherwise I will go by myself." ”

In order not to be noticed by his own Lao Tzu about the problem of fundraising activities, Han Chudong also took great pains, fortunately, the expenses could be deducted from the money earned, and he was finally able to fulfill his filial piety when he was so old.

People have selfish intentions.

The water is deep on the charity's side, even if he donates the money, it may not be able to be implemented, and it is better to send his family out for a few days than to know who is cheaper in the end.

I haven't left Los Angeles for many years, and I haven't even been to downtown Los Angeles or Santa Monica Beach on the West Coast.

San Francisco is not far away, just south of Los Angeles, and it takes five or six hours by car.

"Answer now?"

"It's best that I have to reply early tomorrow morning, and then I will charter a car for you, and you can go wherever you want, and be as happy as you want. ”

Han Chudong was afraid of being rejected, so he also told his grandparents and mother the news after getting up.

After several family members discussed, they finally agreed that they were willing to take advantage of the cheapness that did not cost money.

This made Han Chudong have one less thing to worry about, otherwise if Han's father had to talk to someone from the charity, it would be a troublesome thing after all, it was not difficult to find someone to pretend to be a liar, and the key was not to know who to find.

—————————

On Saturday, a raffle was held as scheduled.

This time, you don't need to draw the number ball, you can directly unveil the lottery, and it is clear at a glance whether you have won the lottery or not, which is more interesting.

Soon after, someone removed a washing machine, and a lot of cash and dolls were also taken away.

It's still three dollars a piece, and a total of 12,000 tickets have been prepared.

The second prize, the first prize and the grand prize are printed separately, for fear that someone will do something when printing, print a few more sheets, and then use them to redeem the prize. So Han Chudong did it himself, wrote these awards by hand, and wrote down the numbers on them.

The cars, which were the grand prize prizes, were placed behind the raffle table, and after collecting the money, they were allowed to pick the tickets from the box themselves.

Han Chudong played a little slippery, three lottery tickets with the numbers "1", "2", "3" and the words "Grand Prize" were in his pocket at the moment, corresponding to three different cars, the first and second prizes He didn't know, the lottery was drawn in person, and it was invalid to claim the prize after leaving, and it was written very clearly on the poster.

At this time, the lottery ticket with the words "Grand Prize (3)" quietly put it in the box, thinking that it would be possible to sell more by making a lottery ticket.

Last time, I really took away the prizes, and my reputation has been tested, and the guy who won a car recently talked about it, and everyone in the neighborhood knew him, and no one felt like singing a double reed.

This time, I also said that the prizes will not be taken away today, they are all in these lottery tickets, and they have attracted many people since they were sold, and the sales gradually exceeded 1,000 or 2,000, and some people bought 20 tickets.

Han Chudong kept staring at the box where he put the grand prize.

After more than ten minutes passed, an old man frowned and asked, "What does this grand prize mean, and how is it handwritten?" I didn't get anyone, I just pulled it out of the box!"

Han Chudong was stunned for a moment, and immediately took out a string of cannons, and shouted: "The grand prize has been awarded! Congratulations to this uncle for mentioning a Honda car!!"

The people present immediately became a sensation, and some neighbors who knew the old man who sold roast duck kept saying congratulations......

Controlling the rhythm, there was no grand prize until the evening, and this time there were many small prizes, so there were a lot of people who won the lottery.

There are also people who have spent dozens of dollars and have not won the lottery, scolding and staring and leaving.

At more than five o'clock in the afternoon, a total of more than 4,000 tickets were sold, thinking that it would not be good not to win the lottery, and secretly threw a special prize into the box, which was a Mercedes-Benz worth more than 2,900 US dollars, and the best one endured and did not release it, worried that it would not sell well after it was taken away.

More than 20 minutes later, it was touched again, and the man paid $30 for 10 tickets, and when he won the lottery, he laughed like crazy!

Led to an increase in sales again, more than 6,000 tickets were sold on the same day, and it continued early the next morning.

There were still fewer people, but relying on Chinatown and surrounding residents, there were only a few people who were willing to buy, and the prizes on the podium gradually decreased, and almost all of the people who came to buy the next day were for the Cadillac worth more than 4,000 US dollars.

has already returned to the capital, and the rest of the more sold is profit, and after enduring it until noon, Han Chudong was ready to put the last lottery ticket into the box.

The cattle have been blown out, and it is not good if they are not taken away.

Zhou Nan, the watermelon head, was in the toilet, took the "donation certificate" that was sure to win the prize, and asked Han Chudong distressedly: "Do you really want to let it go?" Otherwise, let's win it ourselves, and find someone to come over and help draw it? ”

"I can't bear it, but ...... You have to have a good conscience. No one was buying it anymore, and I was thinking that after I won the car, we would be able to get it back. ”

Han Chudong felt a pain when he said this, but he didn't want to be completely reduced to a liar.

If you keep this car, you don't have to spend so much money to buy a car yourself, I hope I am an emotionless liar, and I don't have to care about those emotions in my heart.

The watermelon head sighed deeply, didn't say much, just complied, and put the lottery ticket at the bottom of the box.

More than an hour later, with the sound of firecrackers, the car was also driven away by a Chinese aunt, so angry that some people who had just bought lottery tickets chose to refund their tickets.

Han Chudong agreed to help refund the tickets that had not been drawn, staring at the car with his eyes and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

The rest really couldn't be sold, and the event came to an end.

In the past two days, excluding costs, a total of more than 8,000 US dollars remained, the procurement cost was higher than the last time, and the profit also fell seriously.

Satisfied.

After cleaning, he gave all the discarded lottery tickets to the old man who collected the garbage, and after he went home and counted the money, he called the charities to deliver the money.

He left a total of 10,000 US dollars, and he didn't dare to deposit all of them in the bank for the time being, so he simply hid them on the top of the closet.
