In the Qu family's small bedroom, Dong Xuebin and Qu Yunxuan, who were naked, were lying on the warm quilt and talking.
"It's too late anyway, let's go after lunch."
"You little rascal, you're just delaying my aunt's business."
"It's still early for spring shooting, so why be anxious?"
"What you said is easy. It will be too late to worry when the auction starts soon." Qu Yunxuan glanced at him, "...pass the phone to my aunt." After receiving the call, Qu Yunxuan still called the auction house and said that she
I went back in the afternoon and after hanging up the phone, I saw Dong Xuebin next to me taking out a cigarette and holding it in his mouth. Qu Yunxuan smashed his mouth and complained: "The older you get, the less likely you are to learn well. You are not in good health yet, so don't keep smoking."
"Picking up the lighter on the table, with a click, Qu Yunxuan lit it for him, "Just smoke one, and you're not allowed to smoke anymore."
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "Why do you look like my mother?"
"That's nonsense." Qu Yunxuan hit him on the head.
"Haha, by the way, how is the company's recent performance? Did you have a small shoot last time?"
Qu Yunxuan reached out and took out an ashtray from a drawer of the bedside table and placed it next to the pillows of the two of them. "I was just about to tell you that the photoshoot was just completed a while ago, but the effect was not ideal. Maybe I didn't do it well.
, it may be that the collision with other auction houses was too serious at that time, or it may be that the publicity was not enough. Anyway, the confiscated items were not very good. There were not many auctioneers that day, and even fewer people held placards. There were about a dozen items.
Everything was sold out."
Dong Xuebin blinked, "A big loss?"
"That's not a big deal. I lost a little bit, and the publicity costs were not recovered."
"Then how much total assets do we have now?"
"In terms of funding, it's about 30 million. It's still the same amount as after the last jade auction. It hasn't increased much. The competition is too fierce."
Dong Xuebin said: "Take your time and strive to have assets of over 50 million this year."
Qu Yunxuan shook her head, "Fifty million is too difficult, but I think it's pretty good if I can reach 31 million."
Speaking of this, Qu Yunxuan suddenly remembered something, her face straightened, she grabbed her warm autumn clothes and put them on, turned around, sat on the bed and looked at Dong Xuebin, "Xiaobin, let me tell you something.
Huilan called her aunt yesterday and she asked me to have a good talk with you, I think it's quite necessary."
Dong Xuebin said, nervous and confused, "Ahem, tell me."
Qu Yunxuan said: "Don't open your Mercedes-Benz business in the future, and don't bring your watch either."
"Ah? Why?" Dong Xuebin thought she was going to talk about emotional matters, but he didn't expect such a sentence to come, and he felt relieved immediately.
Qu Yunxuan said worriedly: "Huilan said that your county Commission for Discipline Inspection receives reports on you every day, sometimes one or two, sometimes three or four. Most of them report you for corruption and bribery, saying that you drive a hundred and fifty
A car costing RMB 100,000 and a watch worth RMB 2,000,000, but with your salary of several thousand RMB a month, you cannot afford these things in your lifetime." Dong Xuebin has a good reputation and has been on the frontline of several battles to save lives.
It is a life of ordinary people, but as a human being, it is never possible to satisfy everyone. There will always be people who dislike Dong Xuebin, and it is normal for there to be reports.
But Dong Xuebin didn't expect there to be so many, "Three or four letters a day? So many?"
Qu Yunxuan said yes, "Huilan said that the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and even the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection may also receive your report letter."
Dong Xuebin said angrily: "Brothers are well behaved and love to report. Let them report. Didn't you say that last time? The car was also recorded in the auction company. You lent it to me. Even if it is investigated,
It’s nothing, if I suddenly stopped driving now, I would be guilty of committing a crime, wouldn’t I?”
"That's not what you said."
"What do you say?"
Qu Yunxuan said patiently: "You used to be the deputy director of a county's public security bureau. Although you were very young and had some achievements, you were limited to the palm-sized area of Yantai County and were not eye-catching. But you recently cracked the case
This museum theft case is a major case that has attracted the attention of the whole country. Your name is also known to many people, so there are so many reporting letters, so it is getting more and more attention. In this case, you need to add more
Be careful. You can no longer care about your image as before. For example, if you are the village secretary of a village, even if you drive a Lamborghini, others will not bother to trouble him because his level is not that high. But if he is a mayor
Driving around in a Lamborghini car, do you think it can still be the same? People have already stabbed you in the spine."
Dong Xuebin coughed and said, "Did Sister Xie tell you?"
"Well, she said she warned you before, but you didn't listen to her, so she asked me to talk to you again."
"I know what you two are talking about, but it's not that serious, right?"
Qu Yunxuan said earnestly: "Why not? Huilan can still suppress the report letter from the County Commission for Discipline Inspection, but what about the city? What about the province? What if someone sees that you are uncomfortable and suddenly asks someone to investigate?
?This kind of thing itself is not clear. If I lend you my car, others can also interpret it as a disguised bribe. That is to say, as long as someone in the city or province wants to touch you, it is simply a piece of cake. If you use words, you will be dismissed.
Let's investigate. At this time, you have made a meritorious service. The higher-ups may not take any action due to the impact, but no one can guarantee that they won't do it in the future. Do you understand?"
Dong Xuebin also felt the seriousness of the matter and remained silent.
"Listen to Auntie, don't drive the car for the time being, and leave the watch at home."
It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Dong Xuebin is used to driving good cars. Now he is asked to go back to before liberation. He is really uncomfortable. But after being frightened by the words of Aunt Xuan and Sister Xie, Dong Xuebin is also
With lingering fear in her heart, Sister Xie said that she might be able to suppress the report letters from Yantai County, but what about the reports from the city and the province? Sister Xie's hands can't be stretched that long, and the person Dong Xuebin offended is Yue.
There are more and more people coming, and if we don’t protect all of them, whoever has connections can go to the city and get rid of him at once. This is a bad thing.
It seems like you really need to keep a low profile?
Dong Xuebin said: "But my car has been driven, and the transfer information on the bank has always been there. Haven't you sent money to my card several times, hundreds of thousands or millions, this...
...I can’t get rid of it. If someone really touches me, I won’t be able to hide away no matter what?”
Qu Yunxuan frowned hesitantly, "What should we do?"
Dong Xuebin thought for a while, "Can the money I earn from gambling on stones be considered my own?"
"...Have you gone to the local tax bureau to pay taxes?"
"Uh, no, isn't there a tax when you put it up for auction?"
"That's the buyer's tax. It's different. Besides, stone gambling itself is a very peripheral thing. The money earned here... isn't that fair?"
Dong Xuebin knows that the best way now is to make some clean money, legal and reasonable money. As long as there are no problems with money, this is his own asset. By then, not to mention the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, even the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
I'm not afraid of them checking, and if I drive a Mercedes-Benz and wear a famous watch in the future, it won't be a big problem. I spend the money I earn, and no one can say anything. It's just... where can I earn this legal money? From Dong Xuebin
Judging from the Mercedes-Benz, you have to make at least a few million to get it right.
Doing stocks? How to explain the original capital that can be used to do stocks?
Betting on stones again? But the matter of betting on stones is a bit unclear.
After lunch, Qu Yunxuan drove back to Yunde Auction Company. Dong Xuebin watched TV alone with Aunt Xuan's house, thinking about it. Every time he thought that his official title would be threatened at any time, he would
Feeling upset and in no mood to do anything else, Dong Xuebin put his cell phone and wallet in his pocket after wandering around for a while, turned off the TV and went out, going downstairs for a walk.
How to solve it?
Is there any good way?
As soon as I left the community, the beeping sound of text messages on my mobile phone rang.
When I looked at the number, I saw that it was from Qu Yunxuan who had just left not long ago. It said: Auntie wants you to be more careful. Huilan means the same thing. It's not that someone will really want to touch you, but I'm afraid that you will regret it later.
It's too late. Well, just don't drive when you return to Yantai County in a few days. As for other things, we can talk about it later. Don't think so much. Well, of course, if you can win a few hundred by buying lottery tickets,
There won't be any problems at all, haha.
Dong Xuebin smiled, put his phone away in his pocket, and continued walking forward.
One step, two steps, three steps, he suddenly froze and stood on the spot, Huh? What did Aunt Xuan just say? Lottery? Lottery? Yes, of course the money earned from the lottery is legal. If you
If you can win the jackpot, wouldn't everything be solved?
That’s it!
Dong Xuebin looked up in high spirits and glanced around. There was a welfare lottery shop across the road. Just do what he said. Dong Xuebin walked on the crosswalk, crossed the road, and walked straight into the store. There were quite a few people inside, and the boss was playing behind the machine.
Numbers, several people who buy lottery tickets queue up to choose numbers. There is a TV and a school blackboard inside, with many numbers and numbers written on them, all of which are the numerical probabilities of this year's double-color ball.
"Do you think there will be one in the next issue 06?"
"It's doubtful. Didn't it just come out in the last issue? I think the numbers 08 and 09 are interesting."
"Old Liu, listen to me. There must be numbers 13 and 14 in this issue. If you don't believe me, just buy one and try it!"
"I think 02 is more likely."
Dong Xuebin looked at the lively discussion among several people, and he really couldn't understand the thoughts of the lottery players. In his opinion, this probability question was obviously unsolvable, and any number could appear, but he didn't know why the brothers still kept it up all day long.
Thinking about this, isn't it the end of the machine selection? Of course, this may be the fun of lottery, just like the people in the capital like to chat and talk, it cannot be said that this is meaningless at all.
Dong Xuebin looked left and right, looking at several lottery tickets in the store.
Which one to buy?
Double-color ball? This one has the highest bonus, let’s take a look first. Dong Xuebin has paid attention to these before, but he has seldom seen them since he entered the system, so he can’t remember the rules clearly. After observing for a while, he asked again
Several old lottery players, Dong Xuebin shook his head in his heart. The double-color ball prizes are large and the gameplay is simple, but his back is not used for the time being. When the lottery is drawn every week, there is about a month between the deadline for purchasing and the time when the lottery is drawn.
Hours, that is to say, Dong Xuebin has to accumulate back for at least three months to have any hope of winning the lottery. Dong Xuebin is worried about being reported, so he obviously cannot wait three months.
The back only lasts about five minutes, so I need to find a shorter one.
Dong Xuebin continued to search, which one? Which one has a shorter deadline from purchase to lottery draw?
"Little brother, which one do you want to buy? Let me introduce it to you?" The shopkeeper over there finished his work and walked over to Dong Xuebin to greet him.
Dong Xuebin said: "Oh, is there any lottery with a shorter draw time?"
The shop owner was stunned, "What kind of game do you want to play?"
"Well, let me use an analogy. It's the kind of lottery ticket that won't take long to draw the prize after the purchase deadline."
"Oh." The shopkeeper suddenly said: "You are talking about pk pick-up, right?"
Dong Xuebin blinked, "PK Shi? What kind of rule is this?"
The shop owner explained: "The detailed rules are written on a drawing board over there. Let me briefly explain them to you. They are similar to the lottery in Chongqing and several places. Every bet is two yuan, and the lottery will be drawn every five minutes. It is equivalent to saying that the deadline is
In about a minute after purchasing, the lottery results will be available. There are many ways to play. Anyway, the highest bonus is to choose 12345678910. Arrange these ten numbers in order. If they are all arranged correctly, you can get 888,000.
The bonus is 888 yuan, which is also the highest bonus for a single bet."
Dong Xuebin felt happy, hey, this quite meets the conditions.
"What about the cap?" Dong Xuebin asked.
The shop owner said: "You mean the prize pool, right? There is no prize pool in PK. Anyway, the current maximum prize limit is 5 million yuan. If four people win the first prize, they will still get 888,888 yuan. If the total first prize amount exceeds 500 yuan,
If it’s 10,000, it’s the same as the two-color ball, it’s divided equally. Anyway, the cap is 5 million for one period. Well, you can read the instructions over there for details, they are all written down.”
"Okay, thank you very much."
Dong Xuebin walked over and studied it.
five minutes...
Ten minutes...
Twenty minutes...
Dong Xuebin finally figured out the details. It is feasible. This PK pickup method is absolutely feasible! That’s it! It just solves his urgent need!
Dong Xuebin was not in a hurry to buy, because there were not many backs, and he had to guarantee success at the first time. He stood in front of the pk lottery TV and watched it without blinking. The pk lottery was not broadcast live on home TV, but followed
There is a TV with a dedicated frequency band in the store, which directly broadcasts the lottery results from the Welfare Lottery Center. There are ten racing cars on it. Whoever runs first will have the number on the car, and so on. It is actually a different kind of game.
It's just a method. There is no essential difference between this and the two-color ball swing. It is all a matter of probability.
Ten minutes later.
"PK will open soon."
"Let's take a look. I just bought two bets."
"I bought one too, the one that chooses ten."
"Hey, it's not easy to win the tenth choice. It depends on your luck."
Dong Xuebin's eyes were fixed, and he also looked over. The pk lottery purchase was closing, and the lottery hadn't started yet. After waiting for a short while, ten cars from one to ten appeared on the starting line. After a beep,
Several racing cars started at the same time and rushed out of the starting line!
"Run away! No. 8 is number one!"
"Oh, it's the same as the one I bought."
"Don't worry, the starting ranking is definitely not the final result. They are all alternate. You won't know until the end of the count."
The lottery players were chattering among themselves, and some even clenched their fists and muttered the numbers they bought.
The current rankings from first to tenth are: 8,10,1,9,6,5,7,2,4,3.
"It's almost over, it's almost over."
"Why did No. 8 come down? Get up! Drive! Rush!"
Under the watchful eyes of Dong Xuebin and several lottery players, ten cars finally crossed the finish line, and the final results came out, 1, 2, 5, 8, 10, 9, 7, 3, 4, 6!
"Oh! Almost!" one person complained.
Another lottery player also sighed and shook his head, "I won't buy this anymore. It's even harder to win than the two-color ball."
"I'm done, I just got two numbers right."
Dong Xuebin stared at the screen and memorized these numbers quickly in his mind.
Although this kind of lottery seems simple, in fact, anyone who knows a little bit about advanced mathematics can calculate it. With ten numbers arranged and combined, the chance that you can choose the correct sequence in one lottery is almost slim, otherwise there would be no 880,000.
The big prize is not that easy to win. Playing this thing really depends on luck. If you are not lucky, you will not win the 880,000 yuan even if you spend millions to buy it!
Of course, except for Dong Xuebin, he naturally won't rely on luck.
OK! Back for two minutes!
…
…
Time suddenly retreats!
As soon as the lottery shop's voice dropped, Dong Xuebin, who came back to his senses, saw several old lottery players gathered around the TV.
"PK will open soon."
"Let's take a look. I just bought two bets."
"I bought one too, the one that chooses ten."
"Hey, it's not easy to win the tenth choice. It depends on your luck."
Here it comes! Dong Xuebin hurriedly walked to the shop owner and the lottery machine, and said quickly: "Can pk coins still be sold now?"
The shop owner looked at the time and said, "It's okay, but you have to hurry up. The transaction will end soon. Do you want to choose by machine? It's faster to choose by machine."
"No, I say you fight."
"...Okay, it's still too late if you hurry up."
"It's a game of choosing ten." Dong Xuebin quickly pinched his fingers, recalling the sequence of numbers on the TV, "The ten numbers are... 1, 2, 5, 8, 10, 9, 7, 3, 4,
6."
The shopkeeper did it very quickly, "How many bets should I buy?"
Dong Xuebin thought about it and said, "Six notes!"
If he can win the prize, six bets of 880,000 will be more than 5 million, so the prize will be all his. Well, of course, the premise is that no one else wins the jackpot again, otherwise the 5 million prize will be divided equally.
Bang! The shop owner raised his hand from the machine and said, "Huh, okay, I just caught up."
Dong Xuebin also exhaled, "Thank you very much."
The shop owner smiled, pointed to the TV over there and said, "Just wait for the results, they will be out in a while."
Dong Xuebin held the lottery ticket he bought in his hand, not knowing whether he would win or not. Mainly because it was such a random thing, and it was inevitable that there would be some minor changes.
