Chapter 6 The first step starts with winning money
The banquet lasted from afternoon to evening until the lanterns came on and the banquet ended.
Although graduation photos have been taken and graduation certificates have been received, graduates can still live in their original dormitories for the time being.
Of course, this is time-limited.
Within half a month at most, in July, graduates must move out of their dormitories.
Li Jie returned to school with Xiang Nan and Huazi. As for Lu Tao, he was naturally with Mi Lai.
The two of them have been in love for several years, and they have done everything they should and should not do. For college students, it is normal for them to open a house outside occasionally.
On the way back, Xiang Nan remained silent, thinking about where to get money.
But he couldn't think of anything after much thought. In the end, he simply gave up. The most reliable thing was to ask his family for it.
After finally getting into college, it shouldn’t be too much to go on a trip just before graduation, right?
But, how much is appropriate?
two thousand?
Three thousand?
It's not like Xiangnan has never traveled before, but he always goes out with his parents and has never calculated how much a trip will cost.
(Two or three thousand is actually not much. Xiao Xingxing spent several thousand just for a trip to Huangshan in 2009. I can’t remember exactly how many thousand it was. This was within the province.
Just remember that the hotel is not cheap, it costs three to four hundred a night, and a hot spring bath costs more than four hundred)
Xiang Nan was immersed in his own world and did not notice that he had separated from the main force.
Huazi glanced at Xiangnan in front of him and estimated that the distance of a few meters would mean that the other party would not be able to hear the conversation between him and Qiangzi.
Immediately, he put his arm around Li Jie's shoulders.
"Tell me honestly, brother, have you really just given up on the diploma?"
As he said this, a hint of fierceness flashed across Hua Zi's face.
"Qiangzi, let's do it now. If you don't want to, just forget it. We brothers will find a way together."
"At worst, let's imitate last year's seniors and go directly to the principal's office to show courtesy first and then attack."
Hearing these words, Li Jie was somewhat moved.
He can still tell whether a person is telling the truth or a lie.
What Hua Zi just said was obviously from the bottom of his heart. The other party was really concerned about the diploma.
And this fits his character very well.
Huazi is the kind of person who values brotherly loyalty. If he sees his brother being bullied, he will definitely take the lead and charge back without hesitation.
"Hua Zi, all brothers understand what you mean."
Li Jie smiled, hooked his shoulder and said.
"A bad diploma won't make you old enough to be scared."
"Besides, a diploma is just a piece of tattered paper. It doesn't matter whether a truly capable person has this piece of paper or not."
"Look at Lao Huang, the richest man in the country, what kind of education does he have?"
When Li Jie mentioned Huang Guomei, Hua Zi's emotions were instantly aroused.
This is his idol. He is very familiar with Huang Guomei's family history.
"Ha ha!"
Hua Zi laughed loudly and said proudly.
"Brother is right. If you are successful, who will ask you whether you have academic qualifications or not? Ability is the most important thing."
"What are you two talking about?"
At this time, Xiang Nan in front was attracted by Hua Zi's laughter and turned around to ask.
"Smiling so happily?"
Hua Zi was about to tell him frankly, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly had an idea. He smiled and waved his hand, deliberately trying to hide it.
"nothing."
Sure enough, when Xiang Nan saw this scene, his curiosity was suddenly piqued.
Then, he walked up to the two of them with small steps and asked curiously.
"What on earth did you say?"
"Nothing!"
Hua Zi tilted his head and forcibly changed the topic.
"Where do you think Lu Tao and the others will stay tonight?"
"Don't interrupt!"
Xiang Nan angrily punched Hua Zi, but Hua Zi still kept talking to himself.
"Mi Lai, at least he has to live at a Hyatt level, right?"
"Hey!"
Xiang Nan rolled up his sleeves and said angrily: "Did you do it on purpose? I'm asking you a question!"
"hey-hey."
Hua Zi chuckled and replied in a mean tone.
"What's the matter? I did it on purpose. What can you do to me?"
"Fuck!"
Hearing this, Xiang Nan's face twisted in anger, and he immediately gave a verbal retaliation.
Quarreling with Xiangnan is also one of Hua Zi's hobbies, and he enjoys it endlessly.
For the next time, the two of them started yelling at each other, and they didn't stop even after they returned to the dormitory.
…
…
…
The next day.
Li Jie got up as soon as the sun came up. After getting up, he glanced at the next door. Huazi and Xiang Nan were still sleeping soundly.
As expected, the two of them would sleep until noon.
After all, they had been noisy for most of the night last night and needed a little more sleep to regain their health.
Li Jie simply cleaned up his personal hygiene, wrote a note, and went out.
He has to go to some places.
In 2007, the per capita monthly salary in Yanjing was just over 3,000, but Li Jie's goal was to win at least several thousand.
In this way, just going to a chess and card room is obviously not enough.
These days, there are actually a lot of small casinos in the streets, but Li Jie is too lazy to spend time looking for them, and he doesn't want to get involved in the casino's affairs.
As long as he wins a few thousand or ten thousand pieces, not tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, there is no need to go to the casino.
After visiting for a whole morning, Li Jie initially selected several chess and card rooms.
Mahjong machines have become popular in 2007, but the prices of mahjong machines are not cheap, and some small chess and card rooms are reluctant to spend money to buy them.
This is the kind of chess and card room Li Jie is looking for.
Playing mahjong, especially hand-coded mahjong, it is not difficult to win, as long as you remember the tiles in front of you and the tiles of others.
Even without cheating, the chance of winning is over 70%.
In the afternoon, he went to a chess and card room to test the waters. After more than two hours, he won five to six hundred yuan and left.
He plans to come here again tonight.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed. With his excellent memory and superb card skills, Li Jie exceeded the task.
In three days, they played a total of six or seven games of mahjong, big and small, and earned a total of 13,500 yuan in cash.
Today, he has grown from a poor student with only a few hundred yuan in his pocket to a 'little rich man' with a net worth of tens of thousands.
As soon as he had money, he went to Zhongguancun and bought a second-hand computer.
The Shenzhou Tianyun F430S was priced at 3,999 brand-new first-hand. Li Jie bought it as an 80%-new second-hand one and bought it for less than 3,000.
However, after taking down this computer, his net worth also shrank by a quarter.
Li Jie didn't buy this computer just to play games, but planned to create an online Go account.
He plans to go to Yicheng to challenge the undefeated record of online Go.
Then use this as a springboard to cross the border and play in the Go circle.
