Chapter 220: Misconceptions
According to the standards of later generations, due to the consequences of the indiscriminate issuance of credit cards by major card-issuing banks, "card slaves" are not uncommon in large and medium-sized cities, and there are even cases in which parents commit suicide by burning charcoal with their children because their children owe too much credit card debts. Basically, the result of having at least one credit card is that the knowledge of how to use a credit card is also a very simple and necessary knowledge for ordinary people.
But don't forget, it's 1994. In this era, credit cards are definitely a very rare thing in Chinese mainland. Ordinary people want to get a credit card, which can basically be said to be wishful thinking. At this time, the state-owned banks had extremely strict control over personal consumption finance. If ordinary citizens want to apply for a card, then not to mention that they have to fill in a lot of documents, open a lot of letters of introduction, and have a special unit to issue a credit guarantee for you. Nothing is easy to do. The direct consequence of these restrictions is that banks lose one of the most growing business modules, and the average mainland citizen's knowledge of credit cards is basically equal to zero.
In this objective environment, Shen Yiyi was able to mention the word credit card in front of Wu Yunsheng, and even knew that Lu Dao could use a credit card as a pre-authorization when he lived in the apartment, which would have a great impact on Wu Yunsheng. He was really a little suspicious of Shen Yiyi's family background.
Peng Weining, on the other hand, is obviously not clear about some of the key points here. He just dutifully echoed Shen Yiyi's request: "Yes, Brother Xiaowu, if the thing Yiyi said can be done, do what she says." ”
Wu Yunsheng felt a little amused and said to Peng Weining: "Do you know what this little girl means?" ”
Peng Weining shook his head: "With the two of you professionals here, it doesn't matter if I know the Tao or not." But my parents also said that when they see you, they want you to help them get things done. ”
Since Peng Weining brought out Commander Peng and Mrs. Peng, Wu Yunsheng couldn't shirk anything. He looked at Shen Yiyi and said, "Yiyi, how do you know that I have a credit card that can be pre-authorized?" Who told you all this? ”
Shen Yiyi pouted one by one: "I don't need anyone to tell me." If you have been in Hong Kong for two years. I don't even have a credit card on me, so I think it's weird. Don't you think people who can afford to drive a sports car but don't have a credit card will look different quickly? Even I think you should have a black card or an unlimited card. ”
As soon as she opened her mouth like this, Wu Yunsheng was even more surprised. If some people in China may still know about credit cards from some magazines or newspapers, then the concept of black card and unlimited card is basically unknown to few people in China in this era. Because there are so many restrictions on these two types of cards. At present, there are no conditions for promotion in China.
In fact, he was purely blinded by Shen Yiyi. Shen Yiyi never got a black card or an unlimited card in his previous life. The reason is simple, she is not qualified. However, this did not prevent her from learning about such a lifestyle symbolizing status and money from newspapers and magazines that introduced luxury lifestyles. And in this era, such alternative knowledge fully gives her the qualifications to pretend to be × in front of others.
After Shen Yiyi's two questions, Wu Yunsheng fully felt that Shen Yiyi's origin was not simple. He felt that it was very likely that Shen Yiyi would also be a member of his system. Otherwise, why would such a little girl learn about this special knowledge for no reason? He didn't guess Shen Yiyi's family background because in this era, no one in some powerful families in China could have such a card. Of course, he won't spy on Shen Yiyi's details anymore. In their industry, they are basically one-line contact. And each has its own discipline of confidentiality.
After feeling that Shen Yiyi might be his own person, Wu Yunsheng looked at Shen Yiyi and felt kind. Since it was possible that it was his own comrade, he felt that maybe what Shen Yiyi did could also be a task assigned from above. Although this task was not sent to him through any formal channels, if his own people who work of the same nature come, he should still try to help if he can. In the future, he will need the same support and cooperation from others when he goes to others.
Wu Yunsheng nodded: "Okay, let's not talk about anything else." I do have a credit card. If you feel the need for it, I'll use my card to pre-authorize you first. It's just that you have to return all the money to me before you leave Hong Kong. ”
He believed that Shen Yiyi, as his own person, understood, don't look at him now in front of outsiders with a lavish appearance. Actually, that's a job need. Naturally, such expenses are still the most difficult to report to the public account. If he has an extra large amount of money for Shen Yiyi's rent for no reason, he will be in trouble when he reimburses him.
I have to say. His perception of Shen Yiyi was ridiculously wrong. In fact, this is also due to the fact that he, a new comrade who has only been working for two years, is not sophisticated and mature enough. However, fortunately, Shen Yiyi is not a bad person with other people's intentions, if he is wrong, he will be wrong, and it will not cause any consequences. But Shen Yiyi has enjoyed a lot of benefits because of Wu Yunsheng's cognition. This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.
After solving the cost of accommodation, Shen Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Requirements for Wu Yunsheng. Naturally, she agreed. There is no reason to rely on other people's heads and ask others to help them pay for their accommodation. What's more, she is also convinced that she can take a small part of the prize money she got through the World Football Championship to pay off Wu Yunsheng's credit card overdraft after a month.
Talk about the rent. Shen Yiyi obviously felt that this apartment was already equivalent to his own home. She was not in a hurry to put the luggage in place first, but asked Wu Yunsheng to sit down first and poured him a glass of water.
"Wu Dashao, the purpose of our coming, I don't know if Peng Weining made it clear to you before Lu Dao." Shen Yiyi still wanted to ask about the things he cared about first. This soccer guess is not the kind of lottery that can be bought casually. Basically, you still have to go to some companies that specialize in this kind of business to place bets. She believes that Wu Yunsheng should have a way to know where to find someone and where to place a bet. Because if his kind of work is to be carried out well, it is obvious that he must be in contact with all three religions and nine streams. Therefore, it should be reasonable to say that he is a know-it-all in Hong Kong.
Peng Weining, who was a little accustomed to being directly called by Shen Yiyi, but also felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, also looked at Wu Yunsheng. He found that somehow, after being called by Shen Yiyi a few times, Brother Peng preferred to listen to Shen Yiyi call him like that.
"Yes, Brother Xiaowu, the purpose of our visit to Hong Kong this time is what we told you on the phone before." After Shen Yiyi said that he moved the Peng family's parents to support his actions, he once told the two of them what he was going to do. Commander Peng was obviously a little surprised by Shen Yiyi's bold plan, but the soldiers had a natural affection for bold people. Thinking of Shen Yiyi as Shen Jianguo's daughter, according to the logic of a tiger father without a dog girl, it is normal. And Mrs. Peng can be said to be unprincipled connivance with Shen Yiyi. And the responsibility for implementing Shen Yiyi's idea was handed over to his son by the two. So long before coming to Hong Kong, Peng Weining had already called Wu Yunsheng and told him that he was going to come to Hong Kong with Shen Yiyi to do some World Football Championship quizzes.
Wu Yunsheng nodded: "I know the truth." And I also helped you find a guessing company. In fact, in addition to opening their own markets, this company also represents the markets of some similar companies in Europe and the United States. When the time comes, you just need to go and withdraw the Hong Kong dollars, and you can call them directly to inquire and bet. ”
Shen Yiyi heard him say this, thought for a while, and said, "Can Wu Dashao tell me the odds of these handicaps?" In fact, in order to make the most effective use of the capital he brought and maximize the returns, on the premise of knowing the result of the first game of the road, Shen Yiyi's understanding of the way of working is actually an optimal solution to the problem of linear programming. After such a system of multivariate equations is solved, you can get a set of optimal solutions or worse suboptimal solutions, and then operate according to the calculated results, so that you can achieve a maximum doubling of your capital.
Wu Yunsheng agreed. This kind of information gathering was a breeze for him. After asking Shen Yiyi and the two of them about their plan for tonight, whether they were going to have dinner with him, and after receiving a negative answer, he simply agreed with the two of them that after the two of them made a detailed work plan tomorrow, he would come to the two of them to implement the plan according to the plan. Even after this plan, Shen Yiyi and the others don't need to be specific about the trading issues of the competition, they just need to wait for the results at the end.
Shen Yiyi still appreciates such a way of working. Because according to her own theory, since the outcome of each game has been decided, then she really doesn't have to pretend to worry about everything anymore. All she had to do was wait for the harvest to come true. And she herself did have some ideas of her own at this moment. If you come to Hong Kong, it's better to go out and see more. This is like the behavior of a little girl who came out of the Chinese mainland in this era. Otherwise, you will be suspicious again. Don't look at her own words, but she is clear in her heart. Wu Yunsheng was actually already a little suspicious of his origin. Whatever his reasons for having such doubts, then he must try to do something to reduce such doubts.
It was precisely because of this idea that came to Shen Yiyi after coming to Hong Kong that their wonderful trip in Hong Kong officially began. (To be continued......)
