Chapter 2 The Cellmates Who Squatted Together in Those Years
"Yes, I'm going to get this bonus."
Although Zhou Xindong was full of disbelief, Zhou Wei still calmly repeated it. At this time, there is nothing more coveted by Zhou Wei than the 5 million bonus, if he can get this bonus, he can have money to treat his parents, in addition, what other ideas can he come up with temporarily?
Of course, just as Zhou Xindong was surprised, this idea is simply crazy. In any respect, it is almost impossible for Zhou Wei to realize this wish. Although it is only an amateur cup, there are at least hundreds of teams competing in the country, how can the championship fall on Zhou Wei's head?
Unless, a miracle happens......
But does it really take a miracle for Zhou Wei?
Not necessarily.
When Zhou Wei first entered prison, he spent the first two years in the juvenile detention center, and was later assigned to the third prison, because he could play football, he was selected to be a player, but he offended the boss at the time in prison and his knee was abolished, and later he became the head coach of the team by mistake.
He then served as head coach in that position for eight years.
It can be said that he has been working as a head coach since he was 16 years old.
In Zhou Xindong's view, Zhou Wei wants to realize this dream, which is almost a fool's dream.
But from Zhou Wei's point of view, anything is possible.
With eight years of experience as a prison coach, he led Xinjiang No. 3 Prison to win the National Prison System Football Cup, and taught himself football, psychology and three foreign languages (English, German, and Spanish) in prison.
What's more, he's not fighting alone right now.
Just when he decided to form a team, he already had a model of the team in his mind.
He has abundant resources in his hands, and it depends on whether those inmates can get back together.
As a murderer, he spent the longest time in prison, and many of the inmates who fought with him in the Prison Cup in those years were thieves, robbers, and fraudsters, and these inmates came out earlier than him, and it was easy to get them back, but the difficulty was that they might not be able to compete.
With just such a stick of incense, Zhou Wei already has an ideal candidate in his heart, and his thoughts are reasonable. He took out a crumpled piece of paper from his arms, on which were densely written a bunch of phone numbers, as well as a bunch of messy names, basically all nicknames, such as eggs, mice, longhair, kangaroos, brothers, ******, etc., there was no proper name.
Zhou Xindong glanced sideways, then narrowed his eyes and asked, "Brother, are you really planning to recruit troops?" β
"Well, these people are all in Urumqi or nearby, I'll ask them out tonight to talk." Zhou Wei nodded, and it seemed that he had really started to act.
"Brother, this is unrealistic, people have finally been released from prison and done some serious work, and it is unrealistic for you to ask them to play football." Zhou Xindong didn't dare to agree, in his opinion, no one would be as crazy as Zhou Wei.
"This is not realistic?" Zhou Wei pointed to the '5 million' in the newspaper with his right index finger, "If this is successful, excluding expenses and taxes, each person can get at least about 200,000 yuan based on 15 heads." Money is the biggest motivation. β
"Brother, I don't study much, and after deducting expenses and taxes, it's more than 200,000, right? And where did the 1 million go. β
"Nonsense, don't managers want salaries? With this 1 million, I can treat my parents. Zhou Wei naturally replied that this was also the only purpose for him to form a team to compete, that is, to find money to treat his parents.
"It's still the head coach Jin Gui." Zhou Xindong muttered.
However, Zhou Wei ignored him and continued.
"Everyone's goal is actually the same, with half a year, chasing 200,000, no one will be unwilling, this is a risky action, and even sacrifice their lives for it."
"You're the goalkeeper." Zhou Wei did not forget to add.
"Me? All right? Zhou Xindong didn't expect Zhou Wei to pre-empt him, obviously he didn't have any confidence, he had been crawling around the construction site all these years, where had he ever played football? Even the team organized by Meng Hu has never considered him.
"Of course, there is no one more suitable goalkeeper than you, and I also had one in my team before, but ......" Zhou Wei wanted to speak again and again, but finally did not continue.
"I think it's better for me to go back to the construction site, and if I fail, I won't be able to find a job. Besides, if I do this, Huzi will definitely be unhappy. Zhou Xindong lowered his head, looking very dependent on Meng Hu.
This is understandable, Zhou Xindong is timid and afraid, he has no opinion in doing things, he hasn't read much, and his work is not much better, in his opinion, it was Meng Hu who gave him a stable job, if he went to play any football in the morning, Meng Hu would definitely be unhappy.
Zhou Wei didn't blame him.
"Work is work, competition is competition, it doesn't affect work. At that time, we all train in the evening, and you just have to take time off on the day of the game. Okay, let's get the people in place first, you find a cheap beer stand, I'll call them all over in the evening, everyone sits together, and I know what to do. There are no surprises, and the training camp may start tomorrow night. Zhou Wei's words were full of confidence, as if he was implementing a very simple thing.
Although Zhou Xindong knew him, he didn't expect Zhou Wei to be confident enough to be confident in this kind of Cheng DΓΉ, it didn't seem like he was out of prison, but more like the leader in the government building was pointing out the country and scolding Fang Xuan.
After that, Zhou Wei took Zhou Xindong's mobile phone to call his former inmates one by one, and everyone was quite happy after hearing the news of his release from prison, 15 calls, except for one that could not be reached, the other 14 people all said that they would be in place at night and would pick up the wind and dust for Zhou Wei.
Zhou Wei was already satisfied with being able to achieve such an effect after a phone call, which was actually much beyond his expectations.
That night, Zhou Xindong and Zhou Wei found a roadside barbecue stall near eight households in the north of the city, and reunited with their former inmates.
Where did Zhou Xindong see so many ex-criminals at one time? He couldn't figure out who was a rat, who was an egg, who was a kangaroo, and he didn't know what crimes they had all committed, anyway, it wasn't robbery, theft, it could be fraud or something......
Give him a hundred dares, and he doesn't dare to casually ask people what crimes they have committed back then, in case he meets the master of a murderer......
And no matter how you look at it, it seems that everyone looks very evil, and the word crime is written on their faces.
So when Zhou Xindong sat with these people, his mood never let go and he was depressed! He sat next to Zhou Wei, kept silent and didn't drink.
"Brother, face sheng, I haven't seen you when I squatted, what crime did you commit?" It was the fierce-looking guy opposite him who took the initiative to talk to him.
"Ah, me?" This guy is already hideous, with a pair of eyes that seem to be able to kill, staring at Zhou Xindong so straight, Zhou Xindong's whole body is hairy, and his tongue is almost curled.
"I ...... Spent only one night in a detention facility...... Not...... No experience with this. β
"Hahahaha......" Zhou Xindong said this, which immediately caused laughter.
The guy laughed and said, "So you were either caught prostituting in the logistics park, or you were gambling, hahaha." β
In his opinion, it is quite a shame to be arrested for prostitution or gambling, and as a criminal with a sense of superiority, he has to show some achievements......
"It's not...... These two reasons......" Zhou Xindong's face turned red without drinking, but fortunately it was too dark for no one to see.
"What's that?" Hearing him say this, everyone is even more curious, in addition to prostitution and gambling, what else?
"This ......" Zhou Xindong buried his head lower, "drunk again, stripped naked and walked on the street, and then ......"
Hahaha......
Zhou Xindong didn't finish speaking, everyone was already completely laughing, they had guessed many reasons, but they really couldn't guess that they were arrested for this reason.
"Okay, okay, let's stop making fun of him, Zhou Xindong is honest and honest, don't bully him, let's be quiet, let's meet everyone today, in addition to wanting to get together with everyone, there is another very important thing to discuss with you." As soon as Zhou Wei spoke, the scene quieted down, which shows how influential Zhou Wei is, although he is of the same age, he is very authoritative, and he deserves to be the former head coach.
"Viagra, what important things do you want to talk to everyone? Are you going to plot to rob a bank? "The guy spoke again.
"Xiao Qin, I don't have your ability, I can rob a bank, I will plot to rob you of a daughter-in-law at most," Zhou Wei smiled and asked jokingly, "Do you want a daughter-in-law?" β
I rubbed it, it turned out that this guy was a robber, no wonder he had a hideous face...... Zhou Xindong muttered secretly, and immediately found information from their conversation.
"Think, damn it, but I don't have the money to find a daughter-in-law, so I'd better go to the logistics park once a month." Qin Jianhua sighed, a criminal comes out, has no money and no reputation, who will marry him? I can only go to the logistics park to find a girl to solve the problem temporarily.
"Uh-huh," Zhou Wei nodded, then turned his head sideways and asked the other person sitting next to him, "Mouse, how are you doing lately?" β
This person, nicknamed Mouse, is tall and thin, Sven, clean, just a white-faced scholar, no matter how he looks like a criminal, he speaks softly: "Selling cut cakes, selling for a day, I didn't make a lot of money, and I was always driven away by the city management, alas, it's difficult, I really want to go back to my old job, at least I don't lack money to spend, it's a big deal to go to prison again, and I can eat and live without working......"
Rats were caught stealing before, and the old business is naturally theft.
"Hey, this idea is not advisable, it finally came out, the outside world is more exciting, as long as we work diligently and do things well, there is no day of starvation." Zhou Wei comforted, and then continued to ask the others.
The recent situation of the 14 people is basically the same, they are all not doing well, they all have zΓ i survival crisis, as Zhou Wei said before, they are all short of money! Without money, there is no life! It's hard to even survive......
"Okay, everyone's situation is basically understood, and now I have a good project that I want to do with you."
"The project? What's the project? Really want to rob a bank? β
"No, we play." Zhou Wei took out the newspaper from the day, spread it on the table, and then pointed to the news headline.
"Look, 5 million."
"5 million!"
"5 million!"
"5 million!"
Everyone's eyes lit up, dazzled by this solid number.
These former criminals are actually gambling characters, and they are all guys who are willing to take risks! Will you even commit a crime, let alone play football?
It's as simple as that, Zhou Wei is very accurate, he knows that everyone will definitely agree!
Therefore, after Zhou Wei simply explained this matter, many people immediately agreed!
"!"
"Done!"
"Medium!"
ββ¦β¦β
However, there are also those who are silent.
"Kangaroo, what do you mean?" Nicknamed Kangaroo, he is relatively short, sitting at the far end of the table, looking very quiet, drinking in a muffled voice, not speaking, Zhou Wei has always paid attention to him, it seems that Kangaroo has a lot of things on his mind, but he is reluctant to say it.
"Viagra, this idea is very good, if the brothers have this momentum, I will raise my hand in favor, but I will not participate, not brother, I don't want to, but brother, I can't do it." The kangaroo's expression was rather lonely.
"Why, you're not in good health? You used to play right-back in prison, who in China can outrun you? You're saying you can't do it now? Then we can't do it anymore! Qin Jianhua said anxiously.
"Alas, my body is really bad, after I came out of prison the year before last, my mother was seriously ill and had no money for treatment, and I couldn't borrow money, so I simply sold a kidney."
After saying this, the kangaroo stopped talking.
"I'm cΗo! Sell kidneys! β
Sell kidneys! Who doesn't understand, who has nothing to do and sells their kidneys, not because they don't have money?
The kidney on the black market is only tens of thousands of yuan a price, and it is hundreds of thousands of dollars when it is sold......
"Kangaroo, if you want to be with us, even if you don't play, you also have a share of the money." Zhou Wei looked at him quietly, and said categorically, "You don't have to play football to contribute, brothers, right." β
"Yes!"
"Kangaroo, you will always be our brother, if you don't play, we will take you to play! In the future, you can bring me tea and water, haha! Qin Jianhua smiled, it was a sincere smile.
Everyone laughed, it was a sincere and happy laugh!
"Thank you!" The kangaroo was so moved that he almost cried, and filled the wine glass in his hand, "This glass of wine, I salute everyone!" β
"!"
"!"
ββ¦β¦β
That night, the inmates who had squatted together in those years, those heroic and dry......
