569 [Bodyguards]
Although Song Weiyang made $150 million by buying the fourth place in South Korea, the bookmaker did not lose at all, because this kind of upset made the bookmaker earn more.
When South Korea played Italy, the vast majority of fans bought Italy wins, and the bookmakers make more money, and when South Korea plays Spain, fans think that FIFA will prevent the black whistle from happening again, so most people still buy Spain wins, and the bookmakers make money again. By the time South Korea faced Germany in the semi-finals, fans were disappointed with FIFA and felt that South Korea would continue to win with black whistles, so the bookmaker made another big profit.
It's not just the South Korean team's game, this World Cup has exposed too many upsets.
What is Song Weiyang's $150 million winnings?
Bookmakers can afford to pay!
As the second-largest bookmaker in Europe, William Hill still has a strong work ethic, at least on the surface. Shen Si took a $1 million and seven $100 lottery tickets to the port city to claim the prize, and got the prize from the port city branch of William Hill in minutes.
Well, Song Weiyang bought a lottery ticket in Port City.
At this time, although William Hill Company has opened online gambling, it is not yet regarded as a legal project by the British government. In order to avoid the other party's default, Song Weiyang bought lottery tickets directly at the physical site - the gaming industry in Hong Kong City is prosperous, and William Hill has already set up a branch here.
End of June.
Song Weiyang's four male bodyguards and Lin Zhuoyun's two female bodyguards all received huge bonuses brought back by Shen Si, which were converted into soft girl coins of 100,000 yuan each (after tax).
This is also the reason why Song Weiyang chose to buy William Hill lottery tickets, and the gaming tax rate in Port City and the United Kingdom is the same. The tax rate for ordinary bets is 12%, the tax rate for special bets is 18%, and Song Weiyang's single purchase of the fourth place in South Korea is a special bet and needs to pay a tax of 18% of the prize amount.
If it's buying lottery tickets in the United States, it's, first collect your 25% national tax, then subtract 3%-6% state tax, and finally deduct personal income tax. Take the $150 million in Song Weiyang as an example, if you go to the United States to place a bet, you will have to deduct at least 80 million in taxes. It's black!
Zhou Xinfang was holding a check of 100,000 yuan with change in his hand, and he was quite worried in his heart, and asked Zhang Juan in a low voice: "Xiaojuan, can I take this money?"
"You can take it. Zhang Juan is also not sure.
They were all hired to be Lin Zhuoyun's bodyguards, and they had been on the job for less than a month, and suddenly a huge sum of 100,000 yuan fell from the sky. They were both excited and a little scared, because they only left their original units in May, and they always felt that taking money in this way would violate discipline.
Although these types of female soldiers also have basic military training, they may not shoot more than 100 rounds of live ammunition in three years, and they are more likely to learn relevant professional knowledge. And Zhou Xinfang and Zhang Juan are relatively rare female combat soldiers, this kind of veteran female soldiers are difficult to hire, and more often you don't know where to find them if you want to invite.
Shen Si smiled: "Take it all, I also have a share this time." When the boss went to South Korea to watch the game, he bought a few lottery tickets for everyone by the way, and he happened to win the jackpot. You also have the ticket stubs of the lottery tickets, which can be used as souvenirs. As for this cheque, it was written by Citibank in Hong Kong City and can only be cashed at Citibank in the mainland. Shenghai has Citibank, so if you need help withdrawing money, just let me know. ”
"Then thank the boss on my behalf!" Zhang Juan was more relaxed, smiling and putting cash checks and lottery ticket stubs into her pocket.
Girls love beauty and quietness, even if they are soldiers, they rarely become combat soldiers, and there is a reason for making this choice.
Both girls are from rural areas, Zhang Juan dropped out of school in her second year of junior high school and worked in the county seat for a year before joining the army.
Zhou Xinfang graduated from high school and was only admitted to a junior college, and her family did not let her study again, and even arranged for her to change relatives for her younger brother to marry a middle-aged lame man. So Zhou Xinfang went to sign up for the army, and knelt and kowtowed to the conscription cadres on the spot.
Due to the long years of hard work, both of them have rough hands and a little thick waist and legs. But they are not fierce, Zhang Juan laughs and has a simple and grinning personality, while Zhou Xinfang is more calm, does not like to talk much, and always carries a small knife with him.
Seeing Shen Si turn around and leave, Zhou Xinfang suddenly shouted, "Miss Shen!"
"What's wrong?" Shen Si asked.
Zhou Xinfang said: "Tomorrow I will take my shift, can you take me to the bank to withdraw money? I have never been to Shenghai before, and I don't know where Citibank and the post office are, I want to remit the money to my home." ”
Shen Si said, "Yes." By the way, if you have any difficulties at home, you can tell me, and I will try to help. ”
"No, no. Zhou Xinfang hurriedly shook his head.
Zhou Xinfang used to be a border guard, and because of his excellent performance, he was recommended to go to the military academy for further study, and later became a border anti-narcotics policeman. She enlisted in the army from the big ravine in the northwest, plunged headlong into the big ravine in the southwest, and then transferred from the border guard to the border anti-narcotics station, and stayed for several years. At first, she only did some trivial logistics work, and after the death of the team leader, she went to the front-line post, mainly doing inspections in bus stations and other places, and occasionally there were more dangerous tasks.
Now on Zhou Xinfang's shoulder, there is a scar after the bullet hole has healed. At the beginning of the year, she made a meritorious service and accidentally captured the leader of a certain gang, but she was also transferred away from the border anti-drug station, otherwise she would likely suffer retaliation from the gang. At the same time, it was also because of her mental problems, she often had nightmares in the middle of the night, always yelling and waking up, and was later diagnosed with moderate depression.
For these reasons, Zhou Xinfang was transferred to be an ordinary policeman. After a few months, I didn't have nightmares, and my spirit returned to normal. But she felt bored, and she was fed up with trivial matters, and then the old leader suddenly called and asked her if she would like to be a bodyguard for the big boss.
This month, Zhou Xinfang and Zhang Juan are both learning to drive, and they will work part-time as drivers after getting their driver's licenses. She is very satisfied with her current job, but the prosperity of the big city makes her a little dazed, as if she has entered another new world.
Two days ago, Lin Zhuoyun also took Zhou Xinfang and Zhang Juan to go shopping and bought them four sets of new clothes. Two of them were modest sportswear, and the other two were beautiful clothes, and the price scared the two veterans to ask for them. But Lin Zhuoyun still bought it, and that night in the suite next door, the two female veterans began to dress up for the first time, turning back and forth in the mirror and couldn't bear to take it off.
Lin Zhuoyun also said to them: "You take turns off once a month, and when you are not working, you can go out more." When you meet a boy you like, you can also try to get in touch, it doesn't matter if the other party is poor, you must have a good character, when the time comes, I will ask Mr. Song to personally help you check, he looks at people very well. ”
Zhou Xinfang was worried that the employer would not be able to serve him, after all, he was a big boss, and he might deliberately make things difficult. Now I find out that I am actually overthinking, Lin Zhuoyun's personality is very kind, she doesn't treat them as outsiders at all, and she will teach them a lot of common sense of life, just like their big sister.
By the way, there are also four male bodyguards who are responsible for Mr. Zhou's safety, all of whom are veterans.
Hong Weiguo is the oldest and is married, so he spends a few days a month with his family. But most of the time, these bodyguards live together, and Mr. Zhou bought all two houses next door, one for male bodyguards and one for female bodyguards.
During the rotation, Zhou Xinfang likes to stay with these male bodyguards in addition to going to practice. Talk about the topic of being a soldier, occasionally learn a few tricks from each other, or cook and do housework together, and life is very relaxed and comfortable.
Zhou Xinfang likes the male bodyguard named Kong Dazhu a little, although he has no culture, he is quite handsome, and he doesn't talk much like her, and he is very down-to-earth and reliable at first glance. It's a pity that both of them are stuffy jars, even if they stay together all day, they don't say more than 20 sentences combined. The main reason is that he doesn't know what to say, and Zhou Xinfang always feels inexplicably shy in front of Kong Dazhu, and he doesn't even dare to make eye contact with the other party.
However, Zhang Juan's personality is very arrogant, and she calls these male bodyguards brothers, often talking about meat jokes together, and sometimes directly picking the cigarette in each other's mouths to smoke.
So Zhou Xinfang was very envious of Zhang Juan, she also wanted to have such a character and popularity, and she wanted to be able to have close contact with Kong Dazhu anytime and anywhere.
Back in the female bodyguard's suite, Zhang Juan was lying on the bed with Erlang's legs crossed and pretending to sleep, and when she heard the door open, she immediately said, "Sister Zhou, are you going to send money tomorrow?"
"Yes," Zhou Xinfang said, "Miss Shen will take me personally, first to the bank, and then to the post office." ”
Zhang Juan twisted her neck and sat up, handed out her check, and said casually: "I'll give you an address, help me remit the 100,000 yuan, and bring back the remaining few hundred yuan to me." ”
Zhou Xinfang was very surprised: "This is 100,000 yuan, aren't you afraid that I will swallow it privately?"
Zhang Juanle said: "Just your guts, like a little chicken, dare to swallow my 100,000 yuan?"
Zhou Xinfang defended: "I am very bold. Once, during a roadside raid, my comrades-in-arms and I had two guns and intercepted a van of drug transporters. The leader pretended to be honest with me, but when he got out of the car, he picked up a knife and slashed me, and I was directly killed by a shot, and the rest squatted on the ground in a proper manner. ”
"That's your luck, no one on the other side has a gun, you must be criticized when you go back, right?" Although Zhang Juan was complaining, she still admired it in her heart, she didn't have this kind of experience on the front line of life and death.
Zhou Xinfang said with a smile: "After criticism, there is a reward." ”
Zhang Juan took out a cigarette and skillfully put it on her mouth: "Do you like Kong Dazhu?"
"Where is it?" Zhou Xinfang's face flushed.
Zhang Juan sat cross-legged on the bed, picking her feet with one hand and holding a cigarette with the other: "You can still deceive me? I'll help you ask another day to see if he minds finding a sister, after all, you are three years older than him." But I think it's okay, although your face is very tanned, you are very good-looking, and your size is considered a beauty. And you graduated from high school and went to a military school in the army, and you can crush Lao Kong with a diploma. It's too late for him to be happy, can he still say a word?"
"Don't talk nonsense," Zhou Xinfang said hurriedly, "Xiaojuan, we are here to be bodyguards, not here to be a target." Especially with Mr. Zhou's male bodyguard, this will definitely affect the normal work. Miss Lin and Mr. Zhou are so good, one bought us good clothes, and the other bought us a lottery ticket of 100,000 yuan, we can't think about those messy things as soon as we take up our posts. ”
"Okay, I know," Zhang Juan said as she puffed out a smoke ring, "Mr. Zhou and Miss Lin are really good, but I don't know this? I'm just a country boy, short and ugly, I took family leave when I was in the army, and I went home on blind dates several times without success, and I have no hope in this life." Mr. Zhou and his family are good to me, so I will give them my life. Anyway, no man can afford me, and I will not get married in my life, as long as Mr. Zhou is willing, I will be their bodyguard for life. You are different, you have a military school diploma, except for your skin is a little darker, you are actually quite delicate, you should still find a good man to marry. I asked Miss Lin that she would not stop us from getting married, and she wanted us to start a family sooner. Whether it is a man or a woman, it will definitely be more secure after starting a family. ”
Zhou Xinfang was already embarrassed, she had never been so flustered in the face of the vicious thugs, and hurriedly spread her hands and said, "Don't talk nonsense, give me your remittance address." ”
