Chapter 797: The Devil of Money
When Zhang Tianyuan proposed a gold brick for each person and calculated the value of the gold brick, it was obvious that except for Xu Gang and Serlin, the rest of the people were stunned, and then they were obviously excited and nervous.
Snake Lin and Xu Gang are both big bosses now, and one and a half million is not a small amount for them, but it is definitely not much, just a car.
As for the rest of the people, it's different, Wang Dynasty, Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu are all poor soldiers, they have seized a lot of drugs, gold, and even money, but those things are not theirs, just like the bank staff, even if the money handled every day is as much as one million, but none of the money belongs to them, and it will be the same if they see too much, it will not make them have the slightest sense of happiness and excitement, but sometimes they may have to be worried.
But this gold brick is different, this is really what Zhang Tianyuan wants to give them, it is something that belongs to them, each gold brick is worth 1.5 million RMB, accept it, that is their own money, they can buy a car, they can buy a house, they can do what they want to do, no one will come to them for trouble, no one will say that they commit crimes.
Soldiers are also people, especially the poor soldiers after entering the society, when they find that the importance of money is far more important than they imagined, their desire for money has reached a new height.
This is the reality of China, the Chinese people are doing things now, everything is based on money, and our belief is money.
Some people may think that this is too realistic and too sad, but in this day and age. That's it, there is no money. You are nothing, with money. You've got everything.
Think about it, it takes money to talk about a friend and marry a daughter-in-law, what can you do if you don't have money?
It's just that after suddenly learning that they can get this large amount of money, these people are a little at a loss, this money came too suddenly, and it came too quickly, so that they didn't even have time to prepare, and they were really a little overwhelmed.
Xu Gang is still playing with his gold bricks there. Snake Lin smiled, he actually accepted it or not, it didn't matter if he accepted it, because if he accepted it, the money would not have much impact on him, and if he didn't accept it, it would not have much impact either.
Only Wang Dynasty, Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu are entangled there, if you want it, you are embarrassed, if you don't want it. Isn't that too hypocritical, in fact, what they all want in their hearts is not the Holy Mother, they also need to eat and enjoy.
"Brother. My year-end bonus will naturally be issued by the company, so forget it, when I get married. If only you could prepare me with a unique gift, I don't have to spend so much money now. I have received your heart. Snake Lin smiled and rejected Zhang Tianyuan's kindness. He and Xu Yue are talking very well now, they are about to get engaged, and immediately after the engagement, they are going to get married, what he needs is Zhang Tianyuan's blessing and a special gift, as for money, he really doesn't lack money, and Xu Yue is not short of money now.
If Snake Lin was a poor bastard, he would definitely want this money, he was not a hypocritical person, it was impossible for others to give him money, but he didn't lack such a little money now, and before that, he wanted to help Zhang Tianyuan as a friend, and he didn't think about money at all.
"Snake team, it's not right for you to do this, if you don't want it, this is what made me a faithless person, I promised you before, but now you don't want it, then what will I become, hurry up and take it, it's just a gold brick, and it's not a lot of money......"
"This ......"
After listening to Zhang Tianyuan's words, Serlin also hesitated a little, because he knew that Zhang Tianyuan was a person who valued credibility and face more important than life, and if you didn't let him keep his promise now, it would be tantamount to slapping him in the face.
When he was hesitating, Xu Gang took the gold brick and stuffed it into the hand of the snake Lin and said: "Long-winded fart, if you treat Tian Yuan as a friend, you should know what kind of character he has, he gave you this thing, but he is not polite but really has to give it, you quickly take it and go to accompany your girlfriend." ”
Snake Lin took the gold brick, sighed helplessly and said: "Okay, I can't embarrass my brother, but can this gold brick help me convert it into RMB, it's useless for me to take this thing, if you want money, you can also give it to the families of my comrades-in-arms, by the way, brother, you won't mind, right?"
"Mind a fart, something for you, that's yours, of course you have the right to use it for something else, this is not a wedding ring, besides, you use this money to fund your comrades-in-arms, I am also happy in my heart, anyway, I don't know what others think, but I admire the people's soldiers very much, we can live happily and peacefully now, and we can't do without them." Zhang Tianyuan smiled.
Zhang Tianyuan didn't study in Nandu before, there were two large-scale earthquakes in Nandu during that time, although he was not in danger, but one of his classmates was crushed under the ruins of the earthquake, if it wasn't for the people's soldiers, I'm afraid his classmates would have resigned with him, so no matter from which point of view, Zhang Tianyuan's impression of being a soldier is quite good.
"Okay, don't stay with you, kid, be careful Yingzi is chattering again, it just so happens that Yueyue and Yingzi went out shopping today, let's go to be coolies." Snake Lin dragged Xu Gang and pulled Xu Gang out, the two of them are here, Wang Dynasty, Ma Han, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu will definitely be affected.
"Brother Zhang, your gift is too heavy, I have no money, but 1.5 million, I really don't dare to ask for it, if it's tens of thousands of yuan, I dare to accept it, but this is too much, it's useless. After all, Wang Chao is the head of these four people, he calmed down first, although when he said this, he was also a little distressed, but there are some things that he has to do when he is distressed.
This is the same as picking up the money and returning it back, it is not what you deserve, and you will not be practical when you use it, not to mention that as a soldier, the education you receive is different from that of ordinary people, anyway, he can't pass the level in his heart.
When Wang Chao said this, the whole person seemed to be in prostration, but he was also a lot more relaxed, which showed how nervous he was in his heart just now, and he wanted to say no in the face of that huge wealth. It's a very difficult thing to do.
This is not a false refusal, if it is a false refusal. He doesn't have to be so tired.
Zhang Tianyuan just wanted to say something, but Ma Han on the side also spoke: "Brother Zhang." I think Brother Wang said a lot, we have no merit, besides, the salary you give us is already the highest salary among the security guards in the country, and even most of the white-collar wages are not paid by us, if we are not satisfied, and we still have to ask for money, then what have we become? Do we really have to go into the eyes of money? Besides, let's talk about it. This time to open the treasure, Brother Wang, and Zhao Hu didn't participate, and we are not qualified to ask for this money......"
One and a half million, which can save a person, but can also ruin a person.
Zhang Tianyuan remembers very well that there was a news that a person won the jackpot, but later embarked on the road of drug abuse, and in the end, his wife was separated. He also committed suicide by lying on the rails, and comedy became a tragedy.
There used to be a TV series called "Wulin Gaiden", in which Lu Xiucai also got an unexpected fortune, and he used the money to do charity. In the end, I didn't know how many pounds and taels I had, and I thought that my money had been stolen.
Coincidentally. There was a poor boy in the United States who also won the jackpot, and his name was Whitaker. was originally a self-made boss, but because of this money. He ruined himself.
Perhaps because it came so easily, Whitaker handled the windfall in a way that lacked the rationality and wisdom of his self-made business. In addition to his generosity, he began to spend like a nouveau riche and indulge in lustful dogs and horses.
The "Pink Pony" striptease club was a place that Whitaker frequented after winning the lottery. At around 5 a.m. on 5 August 2003, Whitaker called the police in the Pink Pony parking lot to report that he had been drugged and that a large sum of cash in his Humvee had disappeared. At the time, police said, Whitaker was "visibly delirious." A private investigator he hired later found his missing $545,000 in cash behind a dumpster. The club manager and his girlfriend were charged with robbing Whitaker but were not convicted.
Less than three months after the incident, Whitaker was arrested for driving a "Humvee" into a roadblock on a highway in West Virginia. Police told the media that Whitaker had the smell of alcohol at the time of the incident, but that he refused to take a breathalyzer test and that his attitude was "extremely provocative," and that a small handgun and $117,000 in cash were found on him.
On the day of the trial, Whitaker said wildly to reporters who heard the news: "It doesn't affect me, because I can tell everyone to get out." In response to criticism that his Hummer consumes a lot of gas, he said: "I won the jackpot, so I don't care if the fare doesn't cost gas." ”
On 25 January 2004, he called the police to report that he had parked his car in the middle of the road while drunk, and when he returned after a while, he found $100,000 in cash stolen from the passenger seat. Police later caught the burglar, and Whitaker was also charged for drunk driving.
Swinging through the market with large sums of cash, nonchalant and arrogant — that's what Whitaker often makes to the outside world within two years of winning the lottery. He once revealed that he was involved in a total of 460 lawsuits after winning the lottery.
Wang Chao and Ma Han were both soldiers and had never seen so much money, so they were also very worried, once they had so much money, would they still have the heart to continue working here with Zhang Tianyuan?
Maybe, but more likely, no, this world of flowers, once you have money, is likely to become. How many demolition households have proven this, and after having money, they have almost nothing to do all day long.
The current dynasty and Mahan have not yet learned how to spend this money, so they do not dare to accept this money, one and a half million, which may ruin their lives.
Zhang Tianyuan lowered his head and pondered for a while, then looked at Zhang Long and Zhao Hu and asked, "What do you two young people think?
Zhao Hu hurriedly said: "Brother Zhang, if you give me this money, if I don't do it, I will be arrested as a suspect, and suddenly I get such a sum of money, many people will gossip, let alone 1.5 million, even 100,000 yuan, I don't dare to ask for it." ”
This kid told the truth, his family is rural, and suddenly he gets such a large sum of money, the people in the village will definitely gossip, and taking it back may not help him, but hurt him.
Zhang Long smiled and said: "I want this money, forget about the gold bricks, I'm not afraid of hot money, Brother Zhang, I'll tell you the truth, my girlfriend is a little vanity, but she is really good to me, I want to marry her in style, but I don't have much money now, I can't even afford a house, alas, one and a half million, so I can let her marry me in a down-to-earth manner."
