Chapter 12: Strange Changes
Crane machines are very common in South Korea, almost as long as there is a store, there will be a crane machine at the door, and the benefits are very good. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info But these crane machines, even if they are placed in front of the store, are not owned by these stores. In fact, if according to the law of South Korea, crane machines are not allowed to be placed in front of the store, then why are there so many crane machines? This is because there are people behind these crane machines.
These things like the crane machine are the most legitimate income in the underworld in South Korea. Don't underestimate the minimum of 100 won to play the crane machine once, according to incomplete statistics, young people living in Seoul have to play the crane machine at least 20 to 50 times a year on average, and each person spends 20,000 won to 100,000 won, and the movie tickets in Seoul are about this price, in other words, the income of the crane machine can almost top one-tenth of the total box office of Korean movies.
The crane machine is a typical warm water frog-style money-making thing. In fact, its ratio can be adjusted, if it is just for money, it can be done without a doll in a day. But this is usually not the case, generally a ratio of one-third, if the value of the doll is 1,000 won, the probability is about 3,000 won to be caught, of course, it is not without good luck that it is possible to catch it at one time. Some people will be very strange, it is obvious that this is a pit, why are so many people jumping? This is thanks to the Korean girls who are in love, with zero IQ, who have created this miracle of wealth.
The location where the crane machine is set up is well versed in the psychology of the customer base. You can't make money by putting the crane machine at the door of the hospital, under normal circumstances, children and women are the largest customer groups, so usually where these people haunt, there will be a lot of crane machines. Relatively speaking, children don't have much money, and they don't make much money, and most of the crane machines are prepared for women in love.
Department store entrance...... For various reasons, I couldn't buy my girlfriend the clothes she wanted to buy, and when I came out and saw a crane machine, my girlfriend wanted to play...... I didn't buy any clothes, so it's not too much to catch a doll, right? Is the doll so easy to catch? Under this awkward mood, the more men want to show that their hands are shaking, and of course they can't catch them. If you buy clothes, it doesn't matter, then you buy all the expensive clothes, is there still a doll left? Just spent half a month's salary to buy clothes, how can a man's mood be good, in this case, it must not be able to catch it, don't look at a hundred won is not too much...... Someone has calculated that the crane machine fails once in 12 seconds on average, and it can cost 500 won in one minute, and after 10 minutes of play, 5,000 won will go in, and the wallet will be completely clean, which is still the cheapest situation.
The entrance of the supermarket is also a good place to set up a crane machine, usually out of the supermarket, there will be a lot of change, a few hundred won to buy is a pack of ramen, coins are not convenient to carry, you may use it casually.
In short, the crane machine is a thorough, above board, and uses the weakness of human greed to make money, everyone understands this truth, but they just can't control themselves.
A certain person named Long Jiu is also one of them.
After lunch, IU pestered Ah Jiu to take her to the movies, and the two went to the movies. Coming out of the cinema, I happened to see a row of crane machines, IU just said casually, this thing is difficult to catch, Ah Jiu has never played with this kind of thing, but he feels that as a generation of masters, eighteen kinds of weapons, seventy-two stunts can be mastered, it is impossible for a mere crane machine to be difficult to catch him. I had to pull IU and ask her which one she liked, and she could catch it within three coins of dialect, but the reality was ...... Almost two hours passed, and the last three of the 100,000 won exchanged for coins remained.
"Brother...... Don't you want to be so persistent," IU sat next to him, holding a popcorn bucket in his arms and an empty shaved ice box next to him...... In order to wait for Ah Jiu to catch this doll, it was dark.
"Wait a minute, I've got a feeling, and I'll be there right away...... Didn't I say you, what kind of octopus did you choose...... This head is relatively round, if you had changed to the long one, the hairtail fish, I would have caught it a long time ago. Ah Jiu threw the coin into it, but his mouth was still unconvinced. IU rolled her eyes speechlessly, pointed to the one on the very edge, that is, the one that Ah Jiu said, and said, "Okay, change it, that one can also be used." ”
"Really?" Ah Jiu looked at IU and said, "It's okay to be long, right? Look, it's successful within three times!"
Once, twice, three times......
"Please ...... your coin"
"Hahahahaha......" IU laughed mercilessly, Ah Jiu stared at the crane machine with lost eyes, and looked down at his hands...... These dexterous hands of martial arts really responded to that sentence, can't Zhang Fei embroider?
"Okay, okay," IU finally held back a laugh, stood up, patted Ah Jiu's shoulder, and said like a child: "Oh, our fool, let's stop here today, it's already dark, we're going home." ”
"Absolutely not!" Ah Jiu suddenly turned his head to stare at IU, his eyes as if they were about to fire: "I must catch ......"
"But we're going home, we can't be so willful. IU wanted to laugh again, but she still held back, and wanted to take out her phone and take a picture of Ah Jiu's appearance at this time...... In fact, she is happy, although she and Ah Jiu are not together every day, but every time you can find him new, this is also a kind of happiness, at least you won't get tired of each other, how good is this.
"I'll move it back!" Ah Jiu said very seriously, IU was a little confused, and before he could react to what he meant, he saw that Ah Jiu had already acted. Just do it, a cat waist has already unplugged the power supply of the crane machine, and hugged it whole: "You go to the car door first, load the car and run!"
"Huh?"
"What are you doing in a daze, didn't you see that the popcorn seller over there has called the police? Hurry up!" Ah Jiu's more than 200 pounds of crane machine, like cotton in Ah Jiu's arms, he was talking, and he was already holding the crane machine and running out, IU looked back, and sure enough, the clerk who sold popcorn was on the phone, and quickly pressed down the brim of the baseball cap and ran after him.
"Brother, what are you doing, why are you still robbing? If you want, we can buy it, we can't wait for a few days......"
"That's the same, other crane machines, maybe I caught it once, this one is different, I must catch this!" Ah Jiu spoke, the two of them had already run to the outdoor parking lot, Ah Jiu drove his newly bought McLaren P1 today, this car he also drove on the first day, because it was only airlifted last night, I didn't expect the sports car in the sports car worth three million dollars, the fate of the first day of service turned out to be such a thing as a crane machine. Ah Jiu threw the crane machine into the space behind the seat, took off his coat and tied it to the back of the seat, pulled IU and jumped into the car, and kicked the accelerator away.
At the same time, the security guards of the movie theater also chased after them, and they heard that a couple had stolen the crane machine, and thought they had met a madman. But when I chased it out and ate the exhaust fume, I began to wonder if I was crazy, otherwise what would be the situation, two people who drove a car that could only be seen in magazines, would steal a crane machine?
……
All the way to the car, IU was still terrified. Ah Jiu took the car very well, looked at IU and smirked: "How is it, does it feel exciting to do bad things?"
"What's the stimulation!" IU was so angry that she was about to shed tears, raised her hand and slapped Ah Jiu, and said angrily: "Brother, what do you think, even if you want a crane machine, please hire a truck, such a good car, is it used to do this kind of thing?
"Carbon alloy, the whole body is carbon alloy, if it can be scratched off by the crane machine, it won't be worth three million dollars, rest assured. Ah Jiu got out of the car, unbuttoned his coat, and carried the crane machine down. IU looked at it, and it was true that it wasn't scratched, but I still felt that it wasn't like that, and I was very strange in my heart, what's wrong with my brother, saying that he suddenly became extravagant...... He doesn't have very contrived pleasures, but even if it's a chaebol family, he doesn't have such a spending, sports cars and airplanes...... What kind of configuration is this?
"Why don't you get out of the car?" Ah Jiu had already walked to the door of the building, looked back at IU and asked.
"The car is just left downstairs, don't you even pull out the keys, what if it's stolen?"
"This is the only one in South Korea, it's still my car, so I dare to steal it...... Heck, you just don't care, come over quickly, and I'll set it up and make you cold noodles to eat. ”
"Eh......" IU was angry, muttered, and helped Ah Jiu pull out the key: "Come on, drive such a good car to make cold noodles at home, what do you think......"
"Say what?"
"Didn't say anything...... I said that Renaoni might come, and she said to make pies for me to eat, and she didn't want to eat cold noodles!"
"Pie?" Ah Jiu raised his eyebrows: "It's not a conflict, I make cold noodles and it's delicious, it's okay, you can make it together!"
After Ah Jiu finished speaking, he looked upstairs, the lights at home were really on, it seemed that Liu Renna had already come, he smiled, turned the crane machine around, and went upstairs with his back upstairs.
……
"Ding-dong......"
"It's coming!" Liu Renna shook the face in her hand, came to the door with her slippers and opened the door, she was faced by a crane machine, and she could even see the doll inside through the glass window, and was startled: "What is this, we haven't decided on this thing, is it in the wrong place?"
"It's us, Ernie. IU's voice came from behind, and Liu Renna looked down at the person who was bending over and carrying the crane machine, and when she saw that it was really Ah Jiu, she smiled speechlessly, and said, "What is this, why do you want to buy this kind of thing?"
"It was robbed, the ...... in the movie theater over Samseong-dong" IU helped Liu Renna popularize the science background: "Because I spent 100,000 won in coins and didn't succeed, I was resentful, so I robbed the movie theater, drove a sports car worth three million US dollars, and ran over across the Han River Bridge with a crane machine...... It feels subtle, "
"Oh Mo ......" Liu Renna imagined that scene for a moment, covered her mouth and smiled: "Isn't this the plot in the comics......? That's right, Feather Fang and Xiang, aren't they also a couple of brothers and sisters?"
"Really?" IU heard Liu Renna say this, and suddenly became happy again: "It's very similar, isn't it?"
"Yes......" Liu Renna hadn't said the word yet, Ah Jiu had already put the crane machine and interrupted: "It's not like it at all, I've also read that comic, didn't I get together in the end?"
"The movie version is together. Liu Renna hummed.
"Hmph!" IU also hummed, Ah Jiu saw that the two of them were united, and knew that there was no possibility of victory, so he shrugged his shoulders as if a good man did not fight with a woman, threw his clothes on the sofa, and said: "I'm going to take a bath, help me soak the cold noodles in water, I want to make cold noodles, the best thing lately, you guys are blessed." ”
"Got it......" Liu Renna agreed, leaned into IU's ear and said: "Don't you think it's like a nervous disorder, this man, driving a three-million-dollar sports car, what kind of crane machine is robbed, what if it is videotaped and the police come over?"
"Hey, I can hear it!" Ah Jiu's voice came from the bathroom door, and Liu Renna immediately closed her mouth: "I didn't say anything, let's take a good bath!"
The bathroom door closed, Liu Renna shook her head speechlessly, and went back to the kitchen to continue preparing.
IU brought an apple and came along, she didn't know what to do, she just wanted to chat with Liu Renna. The sound of water in the bathroom sounded, and I was sure I couldn't hear it.
"Ernie, don't you think it's strange? lately I feel like my brother has changed as if he's a different person...... Actually, it's not bad, but I always feel like something happened, hmm...... It should have become like this after returning from China last time, was it done by Cui Xiuying's woman......"
"Oh, it won't. Liu Renna soaked the cold noodles in the water according to Ah Jiu's words, looked back at IU, and said, "You, you've been thinking too much lately." Is he such an easily influenced person? Although a little bit lately...... It's strange, it's like spending more money, and it's a little bit high-profile, but if you think about it, isn't it also normal? He has billions of dollars in money, and it's only three million dollars for a car, just like if you make two billion won a year, and you spend three million, will it be very painful?"
"Yes. IU blinked his eyes and said seriously, "Ernie, I don't spend as much money in a month as my brother's pocket money, don't you know?"
"......" Liu Renna was choked, and what IU said was indeed true. Although IU can be regarded as making money among artists, she really doesn't spend any money...... Because she used all the money to buy a house or pay off the mortgage.
