1376, this IQ tax, to collect or not to collect?
For Rowling's frequent visits, Wang Bo just thought that this girl was a drunkard at first, but the little girl was polite and well-behaved every time, even if he first found some reason to say that he was not available, and politely refused, the little girl was not annoyed at all, and was indomitable, and continued to look for opportunities to ask him again and again for advice on Senior Wang.
As long as the kung fu is deep, the iron pestle is sharpened into a needle, and after two or three times of "no time", in the face of the persistent Rowling, Wang Bo is embarrassed to say that he is not available.
And when he saw that the other party came to the door with fruits, and after coming to the door, he did have serious things to look for him, and after asking him for advice, he felt that he was too sensitive and cruel at the beginning? He thought too badly of others? There was nothing wrong with liking someone, even if it was a dead face pursuing someone. In his previous life, didn't he silently like several girls? Didn't he also envy those warriors who were bold, daring, and had the conditions and the ability and capital to launch a bold attack on the object of his liking?
And, judging from the current performance, it is not so much that Rowling wants to pursue him, but that she wants to make a friend with him. All the other party's behaviors were down-to-earth and generous, not annoying at all, at least not annoying to Wang Bo.
————————————
The weather is getting colder and colder, and after the beginning of winter, the wind begins to take on the colors of winter, becoming more and more freezing and fierce. Sweaters that had been sealed for half a year, long-sleeved coats began to appear on people's bodies. The real winter is finally here.
At noon that day, Wang Bo was having lunch with a few girls in the apartment, and a report of "atypical pneumonia" suddenly appeared on the news at noon. The news was short, just a four- or five-second message, and it was quickly gone.
"SARS, isn't this SARS, SARS?" Wang Bo was stunned, looking at the TV picture that had disappeared, and immediately remembered the "SARS" that broke out in China at the end of 02 and the beginning of 03 in the previous life, and then quickly ravaged the world. At that time, Wang Bo was still in college, and during the most serious period of the epidemic, people in the society were panicked, many people wore masks when they went out, and the school also implemented restrictions, and they could not leave the school unless there was something special. For some students with colds and fevers, observation and isolation are also implemented.
Although SARS is serious and has caused a lot of trouble all over the world, there are not many deaths, and Wang Bo remembers that there are only a few hundred or less than a thousand in the world. Wang Bo's side, including his relatives and friends, classmates and teachers, has not heard of any of them hanging up due to SARS.
However, although there are not many dead, it is scary. For a while, everyone was panicked, and the wind was loud, if anyone suddenly covered their mouths in public and coughed twice, the people around them, within three meters, were immediately emptied, and then there was a long way to hide.
This kind of natural disaster that cannot be avoided is of course a misfortune for many people, but for many college students who are locked up in school and cannot go out, it has become a God-given opportunity to show their heroism and unyielding and engage in romance. Two things that Wang Bo remembers very well are:
First, Wei Shousong in the dormitory used SARS to chase a girl in the grade. During the SARS period, he spent a lot of money to buy a bag of banlangen that was said to be able to prevent and inform SARS and gave it to the other party.
Second, he is still a roommate in the dormitory, the story of Xue Fei and his girlfriend in Xizheng. Xue Fei's girlfriend is in Xizheng and looks very average. After nearly two years of dating, Xue Fei was also a little indifferent to this former high school classmate, and he was brewing the idea of "getting together and dispersing" with each other, and he wanted to find a new love by himself. As soon as SARS came out, the two people who could often meet were isolated all of a sudden, and under the background of the surrounding tense atmosphere, there was a sense of tragedy that separated heaven and man forever. Later, Xue Fei's girlfriend Liu Xi heard that Xue Fei had a little cold, and even risked being "infected" from Xizheng over the wall and ran to accompany Xue Fei outside C. Who can stand this kind of plot of "sacrificing life and forgetting death" and "fighting for one's own life" for the sake of love? Xue Fei was moved to tears on the spot, and felt extremely ashamed of his behavior of liking the new and hating the old. As a result, the relationship between the two is becoming more and more thin, and the men and women who were about to separate staged a "blue life and death love" drama because of "SARS", which made the people around them sigh and admire.
One of the admirers is Wang Bo. At that time, Wang Bo thought that if Zheng Yan or Zhang Li were infected with the SARS virus, even if they were infected, he would be willing to take care of them, accompany them, and even die together, and he would have no regrets.
However, this kind of special event, the special touch at a special moment, is not reliable, and it does not make the love between Xue Fei and Liu Xi last long. As soon as the two graduated, they parted ways, just like countless college students fell in love, and each went to find their own new life.
In addition to the two "doomsday love" in the dormitory, there is another thing that Wang Bo still remembers about SARS is the white vinegar and banlangen that rose wildly during the period when the epidemic developed to the highest (dynasty). Because on the Internet, it is rumored in society that these two things can prevent and even treat SARS, and many people say conclusively that they have SARS, that is, they eat banlan root and eat good. During that time, the banlangen in major pharmacies and pharmacies was snapped up by a wave of ignorant and death-scared people, and they couldn't buy it at a higher price. Whether the wholesale price or the retail price of these two things has skyrocketed, three or five times is not too much, and ten times is not too little. Wei Shousong's bag of banlangen was bought by him for 80 yuan from a student who "has a way".
Because he knew that SARS was just a false alarm for him, including everyone around him, Wang Bo had nothing to fear. He was just thinking about whether he should take the opportunity to "speculate", make a "national disaster", and collect a wave of IQ taxes from the people, but he didn't collect it anyway, and some people collected it.
This kind of simple and trouble-free use of information to make quick money is at least much easier than his hard work to write codewords, and it is a hammer deal that cannot be lost and will not come again, Wang Bo does not want to miss it, the only thing to worry about is that it is not good for his reputation to spread it.
However, this is not something that cannot be avoided. As long as he only pays money, does not come forward, and asks one of his cousins to do it, and he hides behind the scenes and commands remotely, this money can also be earned steadily. And it's just a one-shot deal, which lasts for two or three months at most, and when the warehouse for hoarding goods is returned, let his cousin run, and if someone wants to find someone, it is also looking for a ghost uncle!
"Is this IQ tax still not collected?" Wang Bo silently chewed the rice in his mouth, thinking.
