Chapter 153 [Fulfilling Life, Lottery Shady]
At night, Guo Xu surfed the Internet at home, planning to sleep when he was sleepy. He has the experience of cycling, and he wants to make the most of his time, anyway, if he doesn't sleep, he will become very energetic the next day.
He played games for a while, went on the Internet for a while, and looked up ways to increase height and recipes on the Internet.
There are many people who continue to grow taller after the age of 20, and such examples abound, Guo Xu has never given up the hope of increasing his height. He doesn't plan to try the method of taking height pills, in case the side effects are very big and affect his health, or it will be funny if there is a problem with the urine test after the game.
He can try to increase his diet, and he should eat more black beans, eggs, sardines, spinach, oranges, etc. However, it will wait until the time loop ends, during which his body shape will not change, which is a bug.
stayed up until six o'clock in the morning, Guo Xu saw the "8" tattoo on the back of his hand, emitting blue light, and then he lay flat on the bed when he opened his eyes, the computer automatically shut down, and the money spent came back, the time was January 3.
In exactly the same situation as Polis, he can train with peace of mind, and unless he has what it takes to take on Iverson in the Finals, the cycle won't be over.
Guo Xu made a plan to practice five days a week, take two days off, and take two days off like an office worker.
He was full every day, and before he knew it, more than a hundred days had passed......
Los Angeles is different from Polis, there are too many things to play, and Guo Xu doesn't feel bored at all.
In addition to practicing, he went to Celine Dion's concerts, visited various theme parks, practiced shooting, archery, and went fishing on a boat.
And Guo Xu can always find someone to accompany him, there are many female fans in Los Angeles chasing him, all ethnicities, and people often leave him a phone number during home games.
Normally, Guo Xu was afraid that some people would not be able to get rid of it, so he didn't dare to contact these hot girls.
He has no scruples when he enters the time loop, he doesn't mind a one-day relationship at all, and if the two of them can talk very well, he doesn't mind talking for a few more days.
He called O'Neill to go to Hollywood many times, and meeting stars everywhere was a kind of fun that he had never experienced before.
He met "Black Pearl" Halle Berry, and O'Neal was particularly obsessed with her when he was not in the NBA, looking like a pig brother.
He signed Hollywood's newcomer, Zoe Saldana, who was playing tricks, telling her that she would definitely be famous in the future because her smile was contagious.
He and Kirsten Dunst, who has not yet become a "Spider-Man girlfriend", have played tennis and eaten together, and the two can talk well. However, Kirsten is not the type of woman Guo Xu likes, with a big pie face and a love of smoking, the two are more like buddies at first sight, both are self-acquainted personalities.
Actor Guo Xu has met more, Nicolas Cage, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and so on.
Guo Xu chatted and posed for a photo with 36-year-old Keanu Levi, who looked like brothers to Statham and him, but unfortunately this photo could not be left unless he went to meet again after the cycle.
He also went to the Griffith Observatory to see the scenery and climbed several hills around Los Angeles to get acquainted with the city completely.
Of course, there are also things that make Guo Xu feel unhappy, such as the fact that he discovered a huge shady scene of an American gaming company.
Mega Millions is one of the most popular lotteries in the United States, with jackpots available in all 43 U.S. states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The purchaser selects 5 numbers from 1 to 75 and 1 Mega Ball number from 1 to 15 to make up 6 numbers. The lottery is drawn on Tuesday and Friday nights, with a 1 in 259 million chance of winning the jackpot.
Guo Xu's time loop this time is exactly on Friday, it is the lottery draw day, he often sees the news of the lottery on the Internet, and the prize has accumulated to 116 million.
What is the concept of this number? In the 1997-1998 season, the Minnesota Timberwolves extended Garnett with a six-year, $126 million contract, and then the NBA was shut down in the 98-99 season, when almost all the media believed that Garnett's super contract was the main cause of the NBA shutdown.
Guo Xu thinks this is an opportunity to get rich overnight, he only needs to buy a lottery ticket, and his worth is about the same as Garnett, only 10 million less than that huge contract.
If a person wins the lottery multiple times, it may lead to an FBI investigation, and if he is lucky enough to win only once, no one can say anything.
Guo Xu memorized the six numbers of the winning numbers in this issue, although he could only claim the prize after waiting for the cycle, he still went to buy it, wanting to experience the taste of winning the jackpot earlier.
has been a human being in two lives, except for another bottle of iced tea, Guo Xu has never won the prize. Unfortunately, he continued this record, and when the lottery was drawn in the evening, the winning number actually changed! It's changed! It's changed!
Guo Xu looked at the TV and was stunned, and unexpectedly discovered a huge fraud case. The frustration is that he doesn't have the evidence to sue the bookmaker, and it's useless to sue him, the company's backstage doesn't know what it is, and it's not something that civilians can fight against.
Guo Xu didn't buy a lottery ticket the next day, and the numbers drawn returned to their original numbers, which remained unchanged for several days.
Guo Xu didn't believe in evil, and the second time he bought a $50,000 lottery ticket with the correct numbers. It didn't work, and the number changed again that night......
Then he came to the conclusion that the American lottery is a fool of SB, and those who won the jackpot may be relatives of the insiders of the gaming company, and they will send it back after receiving the money, or it may be that the US official took the money away and didn't know what to do.
Of course, Guo Xu still has many channels to invest and make money, such as buying stocks. He doesn't know how to trade stocks, but as a reborn, he knows which company will develop well in the future.
Now Apple's stock is too cheap, only four dollars per share. In his previous life, Apple's stock price soared to 200+ in 2018, and as long as he bought shares and sold them in the future, he would be a monopoly.
Apple is not the most outrageous share price rise, and the most exaggerated listed company is Priceline, the king of the online travel industry.
Priceline is a travel service website based on a C2B business model founded in 1998 by American Jay Walker. The most intuitive options are air tickets, hotels, car rentals, which are typical of the network economy, which provides an information platform for buyers and sellers to trade and withdraw a certain commission at the same time.
The company has been listed since 1999, and its current share price is more than 10 yuan, and by 2018, the stock price has risen to 2,000 yuan. This is a well-deserved "living fossil" among Internet companies, one of the only two remaining after the bursting of the Internet bubble. Another company is Amazon, which survived the first dot-com bubble, experienced a bubble valuation, and the stock price fell by more than 90%, and then rose dozens or hundreds of times.
Guo Xu knew about this company because it had been reported many times in the Chinese news, and Li Ka-shing, a well-known second-tier land dealer, had invested in this company and made a lot of money.
In February 2001, Li Ka-shing's Cheung Kong and Hutchison Whampoa spent US$73.52 million to acquire a 17.54% stake in Priceline, and gradually increased their holdings by more than 30%, becoming the largest shareholder of Priceline. helped it survive the dot-com bubble crisis.
Guo Xu plans to wait for the Internet bubble to pass, and he will continue to invest money in this stock and drop big fish in the long run. However, this is different from winning the lottery, there is no thrill of getting rich overnight, and money is just a number.
Even if he doesn't speculate in stocks, if he continues to develop in the basketball world, he will not be short of money in the future by relying on playing salaries and advertising endorsements.
