Chapter 96: You Are Really Talented
When I returned to the third uncle's house in Cuiyuan Building, I saw Yu Sheng, Hua Gu, Ah Ping and others sitting at the table with sad faces, discussing Xiaolan's injury.
"I only have tens of thousands of dollars here, which is far from enough." Yu Sheng frowned and said, the neighbors at this time are similar to the early years in the mainland, they are very humane to each other, and they will share with their neighbors what delicious food they get at home, and they will also provide help to their best if they encounter anything.
Shen Long thought about it for a while, it may be due to economic reasons, most of the people who live in a community in the future are strangers, and now those in the mainland who live in a courtyard mostly work in a unit, and the relationship is naturally intimate; These bottoms in Xiangjiang will not move easily, and after a long time, everyone's relationship will naturally become familiar.
This kind of story of the bottom of society helping each other is also an enduring theme of Hong Kong films, such as the early classic "Seventy-two Tenants", such as the residents of the pig cage city in "Kung Fu......
Selling Yusheng, Ah Ping and others are all at the bottom of the society, they don't have much money, and their neighbors are in trouble, but they are willing to help, this kind of feeling makes Shen Long very moved, "Na, I just went to the gambling stall with the third uncle and won a lot, adding up to tens of thousands of yuan, so it's better to take it and use it for you first!" ”
"How can this work?" Hua Gu is very embarrassed, they have been selling Yusheng and Ah Ping for more than ten years, and they have a certain emotional foundation, but Shen Long has just come from the mainland, and he hasn't even said a few words, Hua Gu is not good at asking him to borrow money, and Hua Gu's income is not high now, and I don't know when the money will be repaid.
"Aaron, you just came from the mainland, and you haven't found a job yet, and it's time to use the money, so you should stay with the money, rent a house in the future, and find a way to ask someone to find a job; Let's figure out how to pay for Xiaolan's surgery. "Selling fish Sheng stopped Shen Long, the third uncle's house is very small, sleeping Ah Xing and the third uncle are already very crowded, in his opinion, Shen Long will have to go out to rent a house sooner or later, and the rent in Xiangjiang is not low.
"What can you do to sell Yusheng?" Ah Ping said angrily while smoking.
"I know a jockey in the Jockey Club, from him I got a lot of insider information about horse racing, it just so happens that tomorrow is the last day of the horse season, we will take these tens of thousands of dollars to bet on horses, Xiaolan's surgery fee will not be paid!" Selling Yusheng came up with his own way.
Shen Long didn't laugh out loud, you are really talented, you think of betting on horses when you don't have money for surgery, so you are not afraid of money, chickens and eggs? Even if there is an inside story about horse racing, I'm afraid it's not something that the bottom of society like you can know, right? It's as unreliable as your neighbor who runs a barbecue stall next door telling you that he knows a stock market tycoon, got the inside story of the stock market from him, and asks you to speculate in stocks.
But after thinking about it, Shen Long couldn't laugh anymore, how many ways can the average bottom of society have when they need to spend a lot of money in such a short period of time? If you don't bet on horses, how can you solve the problem if the operation fee is still 100,000 yuan? To borrow? The relatives and friends at the bottom are all poor, how much money can they borrow?
To ask the underworld to borrow usury? It's better to gamble on horses, at least betting on horses is a big deal to lose your savings, and borrowing usury will ruin your family.
Selling a house? Looking at their appearance, eighty percent of the houses they live in now are also rented, and they can't sell them if they want to.
"Hey, I hope you all have the best of luck tomorrow!" Thinking of this, Shen Long didn't say anything, and reached out to pat Yu Sheng's shoulder, "If it doesn't work, I'll help you find a way." ”
"Thank you, Aaron, it's righteous enough." Selling Yusheng gave a thumbs up, Shen Long's move moved them very much, as did Hua Gu, Ah Ping and others, these neighbors in the Jade Garden Building have slowly begun to accept Shen Long.
The next day, the third uncle came to the racecourse with the big guys, and the fish seller went early in the morning to buy 20,000 yuan according to the insider, and waited anxiously for the race to start with the horse ticket.
The third uncle habitually asked Ah Xing what he thought, Ah Xing glanced at the horses out of the race and said, "Horse No. 3 looks listless, horse No. 4 has lung problems..... horse No. 7 is more energetic, so buy horse No. 7." ”
"What about horse number seven? None of the horse critics in Xiangjiang are good-looking No. 7 horses! Before the third uncle could speak, the surrounding horse fans laughed, which made the third uncle feel bottomless, so he bought a few sets according to the horse review.
Shen Long took out all the money to buy the No. 7 horse, and when the race began, the No. 7 horse quickly broke out of the encirclement and was the first to cross the finish line, and Shen Long made a fortune.
Xiangjiang's horse racing is generally to put everyone's bets in a lottery, the dealer or the government deducts a part of it, and the rest is divided equally among the winners according to the betting ratio, so the more unpopular the more money is won, the No. 7 horse is not optimistic at all, and there are naturally fewer people who share the money with Shen Long, and he made a lot of money.
This time, the third uncle believed Ah Xing's ability, and hurriedly asked him to watch the next horse, and didn't let Ah Xing say with his mouth that he would write it down on paper and hand it to himself, so as not to let others hear and share his benefits.
But I didn't want Ah Xing to write a 9 on the paper, and when the third uncle took it upside down, he took the paper upside down and looked at it as a 6, and happily went to bet on the No. 6 horse, and the organic spirit stretched his neck and immediately followed him to buy the No. 6 horse.
Shen Long remembered this plot, did not follow the trend, and continued to take out all the money to bet on the No. 9 horse, this time the No. 9 horse is also not favored by many people, although he bet more, the odds are more than six times.
After winning, Shen Long made a big profit again, he originally bought 10,000 pieces of the old Hong Kong dollar, and won more than 100,000 yuan that day when he went to the gambling stall, and the last bet on the super underdog No. 7 Ma Bo won more than ten times the super underdog, and this time he won six times, and he earned tens of millions of dollars within a few days of coming to Xiangjiang this time.
Redeeming the prize and carefully putting away the check, Shen Long returned to the stands and found Hua Gu and the third uncle, and at this time, Ah Xing was holding Hua Gu's invalid horse ticket with both hands and modifying the numbers on it with a special function.
Ah Xing changed the horse ticket to the No. 7 horse, so that Hua Gu got the money for Xiaolan's surgery, but because of his excessive consumption, he couldn't use the special function for a long time.
Back at home, the third uncle tried his best to get all kinds of supplements so that Ah Xing could recover as soon as possible, and he could continue to gamble with him to make money, but Shen Long made another suggestion, "Ah Xing, gambling is not the right way after all, I just won some bets on horses, why don't we do some business together?" ”
"Doing business? I won't? Ah Xing looked dazed.
